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

Chapter 1994 Is this a romantic affair?

Sun Qing's eyes lit up.

He nodded quickly, "Your Highness is absolutely right. I saw him pondering this, so I deliberately told him that it was actually quite strange.

That night the military camp caught fire. Normally it would take half an hour for the news to spread from outside the city to inside, but Liu Jiulang and his men arrived in less than an incense stick of time.

How did he come so quickly? Did he receive the news a long time ago?

Yan Ruyu listened carefully: "How did he react after hearing this?"

"What a huge reaction!" Sun Qing slapped his thigh, his voice rising a little before quickly lowering it. "He was stunned at the time, and then his face darkened."

At that time, Liu Balang was worried and his judgment was most likely to be wrong.

But Sun Qing is a man who can read people's expressions and is good at speaking.

Just a few words can lead him astray.

"Master, I have something else to say, but I'm not sure if I should or shouldn't—could it be that Liu Jiulang did this himself and deliberately framed me?

Otherwise, how could he have come so quickly? Besides, how did he know so much about what was going on in our house?

There might be spies planted by him in the mansion."

Liu Balang got angry at that time and overturned the small table.

"What a jerk Liu Jiulang! How dare you plant spies in my house and even frame me!"

Sun Qing had a smile on his face, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu were also in a good mood.

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows: "A great achievement."

Yan Ruyu: "Now in Liu's house..."

"It's a chaotic mess!" Sun Qing almost laughed out loud. "In the afternoon, Liu Balang called all the stewards in the mansion over and asked them to investigate one by one. Every servant and boy who had entered the mansion recently had to be questioned, even the kitchen helpers were not spared.

When I came out just now, I heard a commotion in the front yard. It seemed like a new doorman had been kidnapped, and they said he had been in contact with someone from Liu Jiulang's mansion."

When Huo Changhe heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of coldness: "With all this commotion, Liu Balang has no time to think about anything else."

"That's right!" Sun Qing nodded. "Everyone in the mansion is busy investigating the 'traitor' now, who has the time to care about other things?

Liu Balang himself also kept an eye on it all day, fearing that he might miss anything."

Yan Ruyu put down the teacup, her eyes clearer, and looked at Sun Qing: "You did a good job. But you have to be more careful next time, don't let Liu Balang notice anything is wrong.

He's extremely suspicious right now, and if he finds out you're trying to sow discord between him and Liu Jiulang, he'll probably do something bad to you."

Sun Qing nodded quickly, the smile on his face faded, and he looked more serious: "Don't worry, Princess, I know what's going on.

When I spoke to him today, I was very careful and let him figure it out on his own. I didn't reveal any flaws. I will be more careful in the future and won't let him get suspicious."

Huo Changhe stood up and patted Sun Qing on the shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work. Please keep an eye on the subsequent movements of the Liu Mansion and report any developments promptly."

Sun Qing also stood up and replied respectfully, "I will keep an eye on it. As soon as I get any news, I will pass it on as agreed."

Yan Ruyu also stood up and took out the things she had prepared and gave them to him: "Be careful. If something goes wrong, don't force it. Pull away in time and be at peace."

"I'll remember that." Sun Qing nodded in agreement, holding the gift in his hands. "Thank you, Princess."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the Su Mansion.

As soon as she stepped onto the bluestone slabs of the west courtyard of the Su Mansion, she suddenly froze in place.

Huo Changhe was about to catch up behind her, but she grabbed his wrist with her backhand, showing her full vigilance.

"Don't make a sound," she said, her voice very low, wrapped in the night, "there's someone in the room."

Huo Changhe followed her gaze and saw the sheep-horn lantern hanging in the corridor swaying. The warm yellow light passed through the window paper and cast a slender figure on the ground.

The shadow was facing the table, seemingly fiddling with something, his movements were gentle and slow, and he didn't seem like he was looking for trouble.

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to relax.

She moved half a step towards the window along the wall, and carefully identified the person with the light and shadow of the lantern shining on the window frame - the person had disheveled hair and was wearing a red and purple suit, it was clearly Su Shengsheng.

As soon as the identity was confirmed, the figure in the room moved.

The door curtain was lifted with a "rustle". Su Shengsheng stayed in the room for a long time and felt bored.

When he looked up and saw Yan Ruyu in the yard, his eyes instantly lit up like falling stars.

"Little Doctor!" She ran over in a few steps, her voice full of joy. "You're finally back! Where have you been so late?"

Yan Ruyu quietly stepped back half an inch to avoid her overly eager approach, secretly feeling relieved - fortunately she was not wearing a nightgown, otherwise she would have to explain herself if Su Shengsheng saw her.

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out for a walk." Her tone sounded calm. "I didn't expect to walk quite a distance, which delayed me until now."

Su Shengsheng blinked, not noticing her strangeness. Instead, he leaned forward and lowered his voice, cautiously probing: "Is it... is it because you saw my father kill someone today that scared you?"

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyelashes and didn't respond.

She was the one who instigated this matter. When it comes to killing people, she has never been afraid in her two lifetimes.

But I couldn't say this, I could only follow Su Shengsheng's words and remain silent.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Su Shengsheng was even more certain that he had guessed correctly. He quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid! I know you're a scholar and a doctor. You usually only save lives. You've never seen a scene like that. It's normal to be panicked."

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest, her tone adding a touch of pride, “But don’t worry, my father only kills bad guys!

Those people either did something that was against the will of heaven or committed a serious crime that was unforgivable. He would never wrongly accuse a good person.”

Yan Ruyu said "hmm" and was about to send her back to her room, but she saw Su Shengsheng's gaze fixed on her face, and there was something different in his eyes.

The lantern in the corridor just happened to shine on Yan Ruyu's profile. She didn't tie her hair up today. Her long hair was loosely tied with a wooden hairpin. A few strands of hair hung on her cheeks, making her jawline even softer.

Su Shengsheng had only thought that she was gentle before, but now that she was closer, she realized that her eyebrows were neither thick nor thin, her eyelashes were long and thick, and even the curve of her nose was delicate. She was even more handsome than those young men from wealthy families she had met.

"Young doctor," Su Shengsheng's voice suddenly dropped, her cheeks gradually getting hot, the tips of her ears also flushed, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled. "You...you are so handsome."

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly looked up at her.

Su Shengsheng's eyes avoided her, not daring to meet her gaze, but his face became redder and redder, and he even began to stutter: "I, I didn't mean to offend you, I just... I just think you are prettier than the person in the painting."

She had been dressed as a man for so long, but this was the first time someone called her "handsome" to her face, and the other person was Su Zhenhai's daughter.
