The great scholar sighed.

"How could you escape if you were possessed by the love poison? On the way, he died of the poison. When my mother led people to find him, there was only a skeleton left in his body."

The scholar paused and Yan Ruyu shuddered slightly. Huo Changhe noticed it and held her hand gently.

The scholar opened his mouth to say something again, but Huo Changhe interrupted: "Let's talk about you. There is no need to go into details about your father."

The scholar opened his mouth and closed it again, thinking for a moment before saying: "Later, I also hated Miao Jiang from the bottom of my heart, but I am young and don't know where I can go."

"I was also afraid at that time. I didn't know if my mother was treating me..."

Da Ru felt that Huo Changhe's eyes had become cold again, and he realized belatedly that the prince didn't seem to like hearing such details.

Then he added: "When I was in my twenties, when I wanted to get married, I didn't want to follow in my father's footsteps and marry a Miao woman, so I lied to my mother, saying that I wanted to be a great Gu Master, a great Gu Master. You can’t do it on your own, you have to go out and practice.”

"I can feel that my mother has always regretted that I am not talented enough. She probably thinks that I am like my father in this aspect, so when I proposed that I wanted to be a great Gu Master, she thought that I was making progress and quickly agreed. , and prepare something for me.”

"I was excited and eager to leave Miao territory, but when I left, my mother found someone to go with me. She said that because I was junior, she wanted someone to take care of me. In fact, she was monitoring me."

"I don't want to, but I have no choice but to leave first."

Yan Ruyu listened and had a vague premonition that things were not going so smoothly.

She pointed to the chair next to her: "Get up and talk."

Da Ru was still kneeling, immersed in the past. As soon as Yan Ruyu said this, he came back to his senses and the sadness around him receded a little.

"Thank you, Princess."

He straightened up but did not dare to sit down.

"I had been observing for a long time to make sure that I was not poisoned, and then I dared to request a trip. Later, when I walked out of the village and was about a hundred miles away, I was shocked to realize that I was not feeling well. The person who was traveling with me was not just for surveillance. Me, but relieve my pain.”

The scholar laughed at himself: "Your Majesty, Princess, I was so disheartened at that time that I wanted to die."

"I almost committed suicide, but the person accompanying me saved me. He said he would help me get rid of the poison."

"I believed in him and gave myself a chance. The process was very difficult, but fortunately, I survived and never went back."

The scholar sighed heavily: "Later I met my master, and when I almost died, he saved me and gave me the surname Sima. He said that the capital was not good, and like the Miao village, it was like a cage. He asked me to leave the capital and start a new life. Come on, I'm over here."

"Later, I received a letter from the master, saying that the prince and his party were going to be exiled to Youcheng, and asked me to pick them up halfway. I don't know which way the prince will take. Fortunately, the master said, don't worry, if necessary, just help secretly."

"I thought about it, it was boring to walk like this, so I pretended to be a storyteller. Who knew that my story was not very good, so I was not allowed to talk about anything. Later, I met a few young brothers. I didn't know it at that time. It turned out to be the prince's person. When I found out, I was amazed that this was fate. "

After the scholar finished speaking, Huo Changhe connected the events and thought about it, and found that there were no obvious loopholes.

The scholar looked at the shopkeeper and Xiao Li and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you let them go first? They have letters and tokens from the master. They are absolutely not false."

This can prove your identity, which is more effective than the words of the great scholar.

Huo Changhe had just tried it out. The shopkeeper and the boy had a bit of force, but it was average. They were not afraid of causing trouble.

He nodded in agreement and untied them. The two of them also felt good, and they quickly kowtowed with the cloth in their mouths.

"I'm paying homage to the prince. I didn't recognize the prince and the princess. It's just a stupid person's eyesight. Please forgive me, the prince and the princess."

"That's all, bring the token and let me take a look at it."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, so he stood up quickly, opened a brick in the corner, and took out a cloth bag from the inside, which contained not only a token but also a jade pendant.

Huo Changhe knew both of these things, and they were indeed belonging to the Sixth Prince.

"There is another letter," the shopkeeper bowed his head respectfully. "The master said that if the prince comes one day, let me give the letter to the prince."

"Go get it."

The shopkeeper resigned and went out. After a while, he took out a box. This small box was exquisite, but it had no keyhole.

Yan Ruyu was just wondering when the shopkeeper said to Huo Changhe: "Your Highness, please give the jade pendant to the villain."

Huo Changhe returned the jade pendant to him, and he turned the box over. There was a groove pattern at the bottom. At first glance, he couldn't tell what it was. When the jade pendant was placed on it, he realized that it was the outline of the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is the key. Once the jade pendant is put away, there will be a slight "dong" sound in the middle of the box, and a letter will pop out.

The shopkeeper handed the letter to Huo Changhe with both hands.

Yan Ruyu reached out and took it first. After her fingertips touched it, everything was normal and there was no warning.

She had to be careful, what if the letter had been tampered with and there was poison on it?

Huo Changhe looked at the envelope and saw that it was indeed the sixth prince's handwriting.

He read the letter and Yan Ruyu was a little interested in the box.

"Can you show me the box?"

The shopkeeper quickly handed it over: "Of course, Princess, please take a look."

The box is only a little bigger than the palm of your hand. It is antique in color, with gold-covered corners and an embossed pattern around the edge. It is really exquisite.

Huo Changhe read the letter and gave it to Yan Ruyu to read.

She knew everything at a glance. The Sixth Prince said in the letter that Huo Changhe should not misunderstand. The purpose of arranging the manpower was not to monitor him. It was just that the incident happened suddenly. I don’t know what their situation in Youcheng will be like. If everything goes well, he will write a letter later. Let the shopkeeper retreat. If things don't go well, whether it's money or other needs, just ask the shopkeeper.

Yan Ruyu was inevitably touched in her heart. According to what Huo Changhe said, the sixth prince himself was not in an easy situation. Not to mention the prince, he couldn't compare to ordinary princes. As the scholar just said, the sixth prince's little money was not even as much as his own prince's. We can't even support the expenses, so we have to rely on my grandfather's business to make up for it.

Even so, he still thought about Huo Changhe and tried his best.

This is probably the friendship between men.

Yan Ruyu thought, if that's the case, then give him something in return.

Thinking of this, Yan Ru looked at Huo Changhe and said, "Since you are here, don't let me bother you."

Huo Changhe understood what she meant, and he never thought about letting the Sixth Prince's people withdraw like this.

"Okay, listen to the princess."

Yan Ruyu asked the shopkeeper: "You set the price of the paper high and the quality is high, just because you don't want to do real business. People are waiting for you at the door, so it's not convenient for you to inquire about information or spread the news."

The shopkeeper's eyes were filled with wonder, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes, the princess is wise."

"Now that the prince knows your identity, you can do business as usual from now on. You don't need to inquire about anything else. If the prince has news for you to send back to the capital, then activate it again. It will be the same as a regular store."

The shopkeeper was happy in his heart. Naturally, he didn't want to leave. He finally settled down and showed his identity. The King of Zhennan was well-paid and could be protected by him here.

"master……"

"This king can write letters, you don't have to worry about that," Huo Changhe took over, "As for your business, follow the princess's arrangements, and the income will be at the disposal of King Yong."

The shopkeeper's heart was filled with joy. They had heard a lot of rumors about Princess Zhennan. Among other things, she was a good hand at making money and doing business.

As soon as the exile team entered the city, their grandeur was enough to speak volumes.

"Yes, follow the instructions of the prince and princess."

Yan Ruyu returned the things in his hand to him and glanced at Da Ru: "Why have you come here more often in the past two days?"
