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

Seeing Yan Ruyu's serious expression, Li Cangzhe felt even more nervous.

"If you need anything, Princess, just ask."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Master Li, I heard that you are fond of poetry recently and often go out to compare poems with others. Where do you often go?"

Li Cangzhe didn't expect that she would ask this, and his face flushed slightly: "I just go to a friend's house, and sometimes to the suburbs."

Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Mr. Li, this princess must listen to the truth."

Li Cangzhe's face turned redder.

He also wanted to tell the truth, but he had just mentioned this to his mother and his father didn't know yet, so how could he tell outsiders?

Moreover, this is a matter of love between a man and a woman, and he cannot say it casually, as it may have an impact on the girl's reputation.

Li Cangzhe sighed, and Li Mingcheng felt a little unsure, thinking that he had done something bad and that Zhennan Wang and his wife found out.

He quickly patted his son and urged: "Tell me what's going on."

Li Cangzhe pursed his lips and made up his mind: "I am at a friend's house. However, that is not her house. She is staying at a relative's house."

"How did you meet this friend?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"I have a brother in the military camp. We often go shopping together. He and that friend are also cousins. He took me there and we got to know each other later."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other: "Is your brother still in the military camp?"

"Here, he is a school soldier."

"Then Mr. Li didn't even think about inviting your friend out for a hangout? Did he always go to her relatives' house?"

"...Yes, it is not convenient for her to go out, and she is staying overnight. I did say we would go out together once, but she has to report back to her relatives when she goes out, and she has to report her comings and goings, which is a bit troublesome, so..."

Li Mingcheng heard some clues: "Who needs to report their comings and goings? What's the big deal if we go out together? We're not big girls..."

At this point, Li Mingcheng suddenly asked: "Is that friend of yours a woman?"

Li Cangzhe blushed and nodded. Li Mingcheng originally hoped that his son would get married as soon as possible, but at this moment, when he heard the news, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"You...how can you meet a woman in private? If this spreads out, your reputation and that of the Li family will be ruined. What will happen to that woman?"

Li Cangzhe lowered his head and said in a small but firm voice: "Father, mother, I am determined to marry her."

The couple looked at each other, a little surprised, and wanted to ask, but now was not the time.

Li Mingcheng cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Princess, I don't know what you want to ask? Could it be that my son is ignorant and has offended the Prince and Princess in some way?"

Huo Changhe said: "My lord, there is no need to be nervous. The princess is just trying to understand the situation more clearly."

Yan Ruyu shouted outside, and Yin Ding came in carrying a long bundle and placed the bundle on the ground.

"Go to the military camp and find the school soldier that Mr. Li mentioned, so that no one is aware of him."

Yin Ding nodded: "Yes."

He looked at Li Cangzhe again: "Master Li, please tell me the name and appearance of that person in detail."

Li Cangzhe's heart was pounding, and he explained the situation in detail, and Yin Ding turned around and left.

Yan Ruyu then continued: "Mr. Li, what you went to was not a girl's relative's house, but a manor. Apart from the yard where the girl is, have you been to other places in the manor? Have you seen any other people?"

The answer is naturally no.

Taolu always met him in a fixed courtyard and would not let him wander around at will, let alone meet anyone else.

Asking this is to let Li Cangzhe discover the problem by himself.

Sure enough, Li Cangzhe was questioned.

"Other places? There is no such thing. There is only one maid beside her in her courtyard. She lives under the control of her cousin's house, so she naturally has to keep to herself. She is quiet and weak, so she will not go out."

Li Cangzhe said to Mrs. Li: "Mother, so I want to marry her as soon as possible. In this case, she can leave other people's homes as soon as possible and live more comfortably."

Mrs. Li didn't say anything, not because she cared about the woman's background, but because she already felt that this matter was unusual.

Yan Ruyu asked again: "The courtyard you went to is well decorated and fairly elegant. There are flower stands and stone tables and round stools in the courtyard."

That was the layout of the courtyard that Yan Ruyu had visited with the abbot.

At first she couldn't figure out why the courtyards and the furnishings in the houses were all the same, like a hotel, but then she figured it out.

Because there are many women like Taolu who use different identities to deceive people like Li Cangzhe, but the time they come is not very fixed. If they come today, there are other guests in this courtyard and they cannot be vacated immediately. , and the layout of the yard is different, which inevitably requires some explanation.

After all, they were all living under someone else's roof. How could they keep changing the yard they lived in?

However, if the layout is consistent, it will be easy to handle. It will be the same everywhere, you can use it casually, and you can live in whichever courtyard is available.

There are tunnels connecting each yard, so even if something is left behind and you want to retrieve it, you can always move it.

But how could Li Cangzhe know this?

When Yan Ruyu asked, she was a little stunned: "Yes... yes, how did the princess know?"

Yan Ruyu took out a piece of paper and handed it to him.

He took it, opened it and took a closer look. At first glance, he couldn't help but be startled: "This...isn't this a poem I wrote? Why is it here with the princess?"

Mrs. Li also quickly asked: "Princess, is it because I don't know the importance of the child and offended someone?"

She wondered if that girl had something to do with the palace?

Yan Ruyu said: "No, this poem was taken from the girl's desk. However, it is not an ordinary manor, nor is it the owner's cousin. Even the yard where they live is only temporary. After seeing you, I want to go back to my real place.”

"Real residence? What does this mean?" Li Cangzhe looked confused.

"Seeing you, she has a fixed courtyard. After you leave, she will live in a wing with other girls."

Li Cangzhe was surprised: "How is this possible? It's just a yard, why would she lie to me?"

Li Mingcheng understood first: "Could it be that that place is not a serious place, but..."

He wanted to say brothel, but it didn't look like it, but it was indeed very similar in nature.

"Father, this is impossible!"

Huo Changhe said: "It's not a brothel, but it's worse than a brothel. Mr. Li, they don't care about your wealth, at least not now. Guess why they want you?"

Li Cangzhe's face was pale and he still didn't want to believe it: "This is impossible. Why would Bai Lu lie to me?"

"Bai Lu?" Yan Ruyu nodded slightly, "The girl told you, her name is Bai Lu?"

"Isn't it? Bailu is frost, that's her name."

"She also has a name, Taolu," Yan Ruyu interrupted, "Why would she lie to you? It's because your father is the deputy city envoy."
