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

With Huo Changhe's words, Meng Beiling no longer hesitated, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, several strange things happened on the water. The leader of the village asked me to report to Your Majesty."

When they left Shuizhai before, because the situation in Lincheng was unclear, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had told Li Jingyao that no matter what unusual things happened, please come and explain.

Huo Changhe asked: "What's weird?"

Yan Ruyu also put on her cloak and walked over, looking at Meng Beiling.

She also remembered that Meng Beiling was very important to Li Jingyao.

Meng Beiling naturally also remembered that this princess looked beautiful and calm, but in fact she was not weak at all, and her medical skills could bring the dead back to life.

He did not dare to neglect at all, and met the ceremony again: "Your Majesty, Princess, at midnight the night before, the patrol team found a small boat on the water. There was no one on the boat, only some fishing equipment. At that time, I thought it might be a fishing accident. It’s not without danger, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it.”

"But later, some ship fragments were discovered one after another. Until last night, a ship that could carry more than [-] people was found, but it was also empty. The patrol team reported it to the leader of the village. The leader noticed something was wrong and immediately sent out several patrol teams. We went up the river to look for them, and this time we found several broken boats that ran aground on the upstream shore, and also recovered a few corpses."

Yan Ruyu frowned slightly: "What are the characteristics of the corpse? For example, are there any injuries on the body?"

Meng Beiling understood what she meant: "The leader of the village has personally inspected them. They have no sword wounds on their bodies. They were not killed by someone hijacking the ship."

"Those people are very thin, but their skin color is not noticeable anymore, and it doesn't look like they have been soaked for a day or two," Meng Beiling frowned, "Everything about this matter is weird. The leader of the village specially ordered to come down to report to the prince and princess."

Li Jingyao was in charge of the water village, and he usually strictly controlled his subordinates. No one would go out to rob the village privately. Even if there were two restless people, they would not dare to make a big noise, let alone declare that they were from the water village.

Even if there were other gangsters pretending to be people from the water village to rob, it was possible to rob one or two passing merchant ships, but it really didn't make sense to say that there were several ships in a row, and some of them were small fishing boats.

How much money can a fisherman have? It's nothing more than some hard-earned money to barely make ends meet.

And those corpses are really weird.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe had asked Li Jingyao to help them notice abnormalities before. Now that something happens, we can't say we have to leave, regardless of this.

The two looked at each other and had an idea in mind.

Huo Changhe turned to Ma Liyu and said, "Master Ma, can you..."

Ma Liyu immediately understood: "Your Majesty, human lives are at stake. Your Majesty, please go and take a look. I will take everyone to move forward as usual. Just wait until the Prince and Princess find out everything and then come after us."

Huo Changhe cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much."

Yan Ruyu went to talk to the eldest lady. The eldest lady was very reluctant to leave when she heard that they had to act alone again, but she also knew that the matter must be done, so she had to tell them to be kind and take care of themselves.

Yan Ruyu went to the abbot again and asked him to communicate with him in time, and the abbot readily agreed.

Huo Zhongmao's trip was much easier as he didn't have to do business, but he was not idle either. He knew spices and some pharmacology, so he took on the responsibility of taking care of Wen Zhiyan's decoction.

Yan Ruyu informed Wen Zhiyan and told Huo Zhongmao to take good care of him.

The Yin Ding quartet wanted to follow, but their goal was too big. Huo Changhe asked them to follow the eldest lady. Yan Ruyu fooled them again, saying that they had great responsibilities and had to take care of the older ones and protect the younger ones. Men, women and children could not do without them. And so on, the four of them were full of enthusiasm and beat their chests loudly to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

Song Ping and others watched indifferently, secretly laughing. Yan Ruyu came over to give them instructions, saying that they were the calmest and the most powerful in fighting, and even left a homing pigeon to them.

Song Ping and others were in high spirits and said they would definitely protect everyone's safety.

With the arrangements in place and everyone having enough supplies, they would not suffer from hunger or cold even if they were without a place to stay for a long time. Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were relieved to follow Meng Beiling and leave for Shuizhai.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe still rode in carriages, with the carriage driver and secret guards accompanying them, just like they did in Lincheng.

Seeing her frown slightly, Huo Changhe comforted her and said, "Don't worry, don't worry too much. If there are really difficulties, let the local government take care of it. At the worst, leave it to Governor Sun or the Yongchang County Government."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly: "No, I'm not worried about not finding out the truth, I just feel..."

"This matter is not as simple as it seems," Yan Ruyu said, "I always feel like there is something hidden behind it."

"Did what Qi Tianmeng said make you think too much?" Huo Changhe held her fingertips and said, "Don't take that matter too seriously. The so-called Dragon Vein Treasure may just be what Duke Rong Guo wanted to bring down the Queen's clan. The purpose of the excuse is to put the imperial concubine and the prince in power."

"I hope so."

"Qi Tianmeng is an ordinary person after all his military power is lost," Huo Changhe said. "If he hadn't temporarily had to contact the emperor, his life would not have been spared. When the secret guards know his handwriting well and find out everything he knows, There’s no need to keep him.”

While talking, the carriage arrived at the waterfront pier, where it abandoned the carriage and boarded the boat, heading straight to the water village.

The weather was getting colder and the air-conditioning and humidity on the water were getting thicker. Huo Changhe took off his cloak and put it on Yan Ruyu.

"These rolling water are a source of livelihood for so many people, and how many people have their bones buried under the water," Yan Ruyu looked at the sunlight on the water, which was dazzling but also made people feel frightened.

"As the king of a country, he doesn't care about the people's livelihood, but only thinks about dragon vein treasures. It's really ridiculous."

Yan Ruyu's voice was mixed with the sound of water, and Huo Changhe hugged her gently: "When we get to the northwest, we will build our own home and try our best to keep our people safe."

"Originally, I was stationed at the border to protect the people and my country. I never thought about power or being arrogant." Huo Changhe chuckled softly, "However, I am still under suspicion. If I ignore it and insist on going my own way, in the eyes of the emperor, I am rebelling against the emperor's decree." If you don’t comply, you will have more reason to punish me.”

Yan Ruyu leaned her head on his shoulder: "As long as we have a clear conscience, the ability of two people is only so great, just do our best."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself, it is true that I come from modern times, I have seen many traces of history, and know many better systems and methods, but I am incompatible with this era. I don’t have that big ambition to change the world and reverse history. Back then, the ancestors of the Yan family were almost burned to death when they accidentally revealed their superpowers. If I had shown that kind of advanced consciousness and was inconsistent with the current situation, I would have been killed before the world could change.

That's neurosis.

Yan Ruyu laughed to herself. The gate of the water village had appeared in front of her, and several patrolling brothers were salvaging something.
