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

Chapter 1885 Preparations before departure

The eldest lady sighed and pulled Yan Ruyu.

"This matter is so dangerous. Just by listening to it, I feel that it is full of dangers. Let Changhe take the people there, and you stay in the mansion."

Seeing Yan Ruyu opening her mouth to speak, the first lady hurriedly said, "I know you're working hard. So, you don't have to get involved in the affairs of the mansion. As for the affairs outside the mansion..."

The eldest lady felt ashamed, as if she could not help in any way with the matters outside the mansion.

"Then I'll go talk to Madam Cao. We don't care about that."

Yan Ruyu laughed in silence: "Mother, I understand your good intentions. You don't want me to take risks or be too tired."

The eldest lady nodded repeatedly: "Yes, you see, we have finally cleared the charges, and we will finally have a good life. Mother wants to live a peaceful life with you."

Yan Ruyu was touched. The eldest lady was sincere and not just saying nice things.

"Mother, what I fear is never tiredness or danger. I also want to live a good life. Our family is in the northwest. We don't need to go back to Beijing to see people's faces. We can build the northwest well and live a stable life."

The eldest lady's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's great, I don't want to go back to Beijing either."

"However, this time the secret guard sent a message that he is unknown whether he is alive or dead. This is a big deal. Li Fangshan said before he died that this life is not worth it. He is a soldier and some of his ideas are very dangerous."

"He is also pathetic. He guarded the border and the people, but watched his relatives being unjustly killed."

"No one would be willing to accept this. The prince wants to investigate this matter, but the journey is long and the place is unfamiliar to me. How can I rest assured? Even if I am at home, my heart is not here."

"So, mother, I have to go with the prince."

The lady was speechless.

Huo Changhe said quickly: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Yu'er and will never let her get hurt. We will go and come back quickly, it won't take too long."

Seeing that they were determined to leave, the eldest lady also knew that Yan Ruyu always had her own ideas and once she made up her mind, it would be difficult for her to turn back.

"Well, I'll pack your luggage for the trip. Don't refuse."

The two readily agreed.

"Then I'll rely on my mother. I'm not good at these things. I'll feel most at ease if you can help me take care of it." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

The eldest lady was so happy that all her previous reluctance and discomfort were washed away.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe went to prepare other things for use, and Huo Changhe also had to meet Li Chengshi.

Li Chengshi has been very motivated these days. Since asking Huo Changhe for guidance, the army has not only taken on a new look, but some hidden dangers that have existed for many years have also been eliminated.

Soldiers often went to the city in batches to help, and the relationship between the military and the people became closer and they got along better.

When he heard that Huo Changhe was coming, Li Chengshi hurried outside the camp to greet him.

Seeing that Huo Changhe's face didn't look good, Li Chengshi's heart sank. Could something have happened again?

"My Lord, what can I do for you?"

Arriving at the central army tent, Li Chengshi couldn't wait to ask.

Huo Changhe nodded: "I do have something to ask for help from Li Chengshi."

Li Chengshi bowed and said, "If the prince has any instructions, please tell me clearly. I will do my best."

"I want to borrow a few people from Li Chengshi and check the list to see if anyone's hometown is Rongzhou. I want to go to Rongzhou and bring a few people who are familiar with the local area."

Li Chengshi felt relieved, it turned out to be this matter.

"That's easy. Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will do it right away."

This is not a difficult task. There is no need to check the roster. Just issue an order and have each battalion conduct self-inspection and then report in.

When they heard that they could return to their hometown, they decided to go with Prince Zhennan. No one retreated and they all wanted to rush forward.

There are quite a lot of people from Rongzhou, fifteen in total.

Huo Changhe asked in detail and selected two people who were close to Li Fangshan's hometown, and also selected two family members to be trackers and dig river sand.

There were four of them in total, waiting outside the camp.

Before leaving, Huo Changhe said to Li Chengshi: "The king and the princess are going to Rongzhou, and it will take at least a month before we can return."

"The safety of Youcheng is in the hands of the city envoy."

Li Chengshi suddenly felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and immediately bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your instructions and fulfill my duties to protect Youcheng."

Huo Changhe patted him on the shoulder and said, "The situation in the city is the same as before. I will also inform Governor Cao. You two should cooperate closely."

"Yes."

After giving the instructions, Huo Changhe left the camp and returned to the city. He asked the four men to follow the guards back to the palace, and he went to see Governor Cao.

Governor Cao is also busy. Merchants who need to register their rental and writing services in the next two days must not be careless.

He is basically either in the government office or in Xicheng.

While he was calculating accounts and making notes, he felt someone standing in front of the table. He said without even looking up, "Wait a moment. I'll be done soon."

The visitor didn't say anything and waited patiently.

After about a quarter of an hour, Governor Cao looked up. When he saw that it was Huo Changhe, he quickly stood up.

"Oh, it's Your Majesty. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I really..."

Huo Changhe smiled lightly: "It's okay, why do you have to do everything yourself?"

Governor Cao glanced at the documents spread out on the table and said, "When I have time, I will go through them all. These involve the data that the princess mentioned... I want to do it myself so that I know what's going on."

"I wonder what orders the prince has for me?"

When Huo Changhe told him that he was going to Rongzhou, Governor Cao asked, "I wonder if there is anything I can do for the prince?"

"That's not necessary. Governor Cao is in charge of all city affairs. Please take care of him these days."

Governor Cao: "Your Highness, what are you talking about? This is my duty. If it weren't for you, my Highness, I wouldn't have been able to do this job long ago."

"Your Highness, please take care of yourselves. I will work diligently in the city. Please rest assured, Your Highness."

Huo Changhe nodded: "When I am away, the decree may be delivered. At that time, please ask Governor Cao to help and entertain the messenger."

"My mother is at the palace, please go and look around more often, Madam."

Governor Cao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely do it."

After arranging everything that needed to be said and done, Huo Changhe bid farewell to Governor Cao.

Governor Cao wanted to send it, but he refused.

Looking at his back, Governor Cao felt uncomfortable.

I thought to myself that I really couldn't bear to see the prince go. This was just a departure. If he really left Youcheng...

Governor Cao didn't dare to think about it. He felt that not only him, but his wife would probably cry as well.

He let out a long sigh and no longer wanted to be busy. He went back home to find his wife and tell her about the situation.

Yan Ruyu actually didn’t have to prepare anything, as she already had the space.

After thinking about it, he decided to go find the abbot and ask him for some spring water.

When the abbot heard that she was going to Rongzhou for quite some time, he offered to go with her.

"This road is long and dangerous, how can I not follow?"

"It will take five or six days even if we gallop. Can you bear it?" Yan Ruyu said, "Besides, the construction of this city cannot be completed without you."

"Besides, you staying here will be of the greatest help to me."

The abbot blinked: "What do you mean?"

"We can talk to each other. You can report the situation in Youcheng to me at any time, so I can keep both of us informed. Who else can do this except you?"

The abbot was overjoyed: "That's right."
