On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

After drinking the medicine, Butler Liu quickly exited.

"How long does it take to take effect?"

Yan Ruyu pinched her fingers and pretended to think deeply for a while: "A quarter of an hour, at most."

She added an antidote to it. For things like poison, it is important to have a symptomatic and detoxifying medicine that will take effect quickly.

A quarter of an hour is too much.

After waiting patiently, within a quarter of an hour, the person inside took a long breath and became more awake: "Steward Liu."

When Butler Liu heard the voice, he felt different from when he was sick. He was overjoyed and hurried in: "You're awake."

"Well, who cured me?"

"He's a charlatan. I asked him his name."

"No need to ask, let them stay in Xibaoyuan until I fully recover, and thank you very much."

Butler Liu's eyes flickered: "Yes."

He exited the curtain with a bit of a fake smile on his face: "You two, please come with me."

Yan Ruyu said: "We don't want to live in the mansion, we have a place to live."

"This is my master's wish. It is more convenient for you two to live together. Don't worry, as long as my master recovers, the benefits for you two will be indispensable."

"Guaranteed to be more than you can earn by walking on the streets for three years."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and understood each other.

Xibaoyuan was not too close, Yan Ruyu sniffed, and there was a hint of fragrance floating in the air, like Buddhist incense.

"You two, this is your courtyard. It is fully equipped with everything. If you want anything, just ask the servant directly."

After Butler Liu finished speaking, he turned around and left. He didn't see any of the servants arranged.

There are quite a few eyes hidden around the yard.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe entered the courtyard, but there was no one around. Yan Ruyu then asked, "Do you smell anything?"

"It seems to be Buddhist fragrance," Huo Changhe took a deep breath, "It's still a very familiar Buddhist fragrance, a bit like... the one from Daguo Temple."

"Your Majesty has a very good nose." Yan Ruyu checked around the room, "Indeed."

"Someone in this mansion uses Buddhist incense, the kind from Daguo Temple." Yan Ruyu's eyebrows were bright, "It seems that there is a connection between the patient, Lao Xinglin, and the incense shop."

The Buddhist incense in Daikokuji Temple used to be offered by that incense shop. It is no coincidence that the old apricot grove appears here today.

"What's his illness?" Huo Changhe asked in a low voice, "Why does he feel a little weird?"

Yan Ruyu ate a chocolate bean: "Oh, it's a poison that was refined before."

"Refining waste?" Huo Changhe was surprised.

"Well, I haven't finished it yet, but it would be a pity to throw it away, so I keep it, and it will come in handy this time." Seeing that his eyes were still confused, Yan Ruyu cleared her throat and said, "Actually, it's similar to a love potion, but it's It’s not the same.”

"Poisoned people are more sensitive to people with high skin temperatures and want to touch them. Generally speaking, men's body temperature is higher than women's. Therefore, when Butler Liu tied the silk on the patient just now, he had a reaction; and I When it came time to solve it, he didn’t.”

Huo Changhe suddenly realized: "That's it. I said Butler Liu just stared at you untying your silk thread with surprise in his eyes."

"I will give them a simple prescription. They will neither die nor get better. The real key lies in the antidote in my hand."

"So," Huo Changhe pursed his lips and smiled, "If they want to play dirty, they won't be able to do it in the end."

"Of course, I just gave one-third of the antidote. When they try it again, they will find that the medicine doesn't work."

Yan Ruyu sneered: "It's too easy to think of harming us."

Huo Changhe opened the back window and looked out. There was a small bamboo forest outside the back window. There must be someone watching in the forest.

Yan Ruyu said: "It's okay, it's up to me."

She took out two pills and threw them into the woods.

The pill settled and the white mist exploded silently. Not long after, a "plop" sound was heard from inside.

People fell.

Yan Ruyu also set up a small drug trap under the steps outside the house, then returned to the room, and together with Huo Changhe, climbed out of the back window and entered the small bamboo forest.

Following the smell of Buddhist incense, we found a small courtyard nearby.

"Do you feel that this place looks familiar?" Huo Changhe asked.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, a little bit. Have we been here before?"

After they arrived in Xucheng, they visited only a handful of mansions.

"Go in and have a look." Huo Changhe led her into the small courtyard.

As soon as they came in, they both remembered where this place was.

Small Buddhist Hall - the courtyard of the governor's wife.

The two looked at each other, their eyes quite meaningful.

Now that the governor's wife is here, the identity of the patient can be revealed.

The governor of Xucheng - Cheng Tianyi.

The governor's wife was still in the small Buddhist hall, with her eyes closed and spinning her beads: "How is he doing?"

"I heard that a new doctor has been found. I don't know the details yet. I will go and inquire about it later."

"Bring a bowl of ginseng soup when you go."

"Madam, your Excellency may not be able to drink due to your condition."

"Whether he drinks or not is his business. Regardless of whether he drinks or not, I delivered her anyway." Madam opened her eyes, "Where is that woman? Is she somersaulting?"

"No, how could she have such thoughts? She is still looking for the young master... her rebellious son."

"Still crazy?"

"The pain of losing a child will inevitably lead to sadness. Once the mind is hurt, the mind will easily become unclear, which is normal."

"Well, remember to give her some tonics, don't say I treated her harshly."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the small courtyard and checked for signs. No one had been there. They closed the back window. Yan Ruyu asked, "How much does the prince know about the governor of Xucheng?"

"Not too many. He is a civil servant. I heard that he had been an official in the capital before. He was sent here a few years ago, earlier than General Qi."

"No matter how much it is, I don't know. I haven't had much contact with him."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "The governor of a city has colluded with Mr. Mo. Just like Sucheng at that time, Mr. Mo's energy surprised me."

Huo Changhe said: "This is definitely not a day's work. It seems that I have to write a letter back to Beijing and have someone investigate the details. Maybe they can find traces."

"Does the prince think that if the governor of Xucheng dies, Xucheng will be in chaos?"

Huo Changhe looked directly at Yan Ruyu: "Do you want to..."

"If the governor of Xucheng is really involved in Mr. Mo's conspiracy, then he is an evil official, unworthy of being the governor of a city, and has no face to face the people of Xucheng."

Huo Changhe gently held her hand: "Then let him die."

"it is good."

Now that the identity of the other party is known, Yan Ruyu is not in a hurry. They should be the ones who should be anxious.

Several hours passed and the sky was getting dark. Yan Ruyu calculated that they should have taken the medicine for the second time.

According to their plan, as long as the medicine still works after taking it, they will not leave Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe alive.

However, sometimes things inevitably backfire.
