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

Chapter 1781 The Return of the Right-Handed Assistant

Envoy Li Cheng hurriedly bowed to Yan Ruyu.

"Your Highness, your words are too polite. If you have any instructions, just tell me. I will do my best to fulfill them."

"Besides Lu Peng, I would like to ask Envoy Li for help to find another person in the army."

When Li Chengshi heard this, his soul almost flew away.

besides?

"who?"

Yan Ruyu told him about the paintings and showed them to him, as well as the fact that Lu Peng had returned to the city and made marks in the city.

It took Li Cheng a long while to come back to his senses.

The fingers holding the painting trembled slightly.

"Princess, I failed to notice that there was Lu Peng before me, this..."

He really didn't know what to say.

Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "You can't be blamed entirely for this. It's possible that someone had already been arranged when Shen Huaixin was the city envoy."

"The most urgent task is to get to the bottom of the matter, not the time to assign blame."

"Envoy Li, these people are now under your command. You have the military power in your hands. You have a heavy responsibility. I hope you can help them."

Envoy Li Cheng bowed deeply and said, "I will never shirk my duty. Don't worry, Princess. I will go back and investigate right away."

Yan Ruyu warned: "Li Chengshi, I understand your anger, but it is not appropriate to make a big fuss at this time, so as not to alert the enemy. You should investigate quietly and secretly. Start with the names, those with the word mountain, or those who are as strong as a mountain, or those whose place of origin has the word mountain in its name, and so on."

Li Chengshi felt a headache after hearing this. He was a military man, and this kind of delicate work was not easy to do.

However, the matter is of great importance. A traitor or a spy may cause the defeat of the entire army or the entire war, resulting in incalculable and irreparable losses.

So, he had to do it.

Li Cheng bowed and turned to leave. Yan Ruyu gave him some more seeds and told others that she came to the palace to get seeds.

After Li Chengshi left, Yan Ruyu was still anxious. There were many soldiers in the army, and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find this person, especially since this person was deliberately hiding.

Just as he was thinking about it, Song Pingxing ran in excitedly.

"Princess, Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu are back."

Yan Ruyu was also surprised and asked with a hint of surprise: "Where is it?"

"I'm outside the door. I'll be in the lobby soon."

For Yan Ruyu, Xiang Guang's return came at the right time.

Xiang Guangjiu has been in the army for a long time and is familiar with many people. Moreover, he is a soldier. As long as he has sufficient reasons, it would not be unreasonable for him to go to the barracks at this time.

After a while, Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu came to the front hall to pay their respects.

"Meet the princess!"

"Hurry up, you've had a hard journey," Yan Ruyu ordered someone to serve tea, "How is the situation? Xiang Guang, didn't I ask you to escort Lord Sima and the others to the capital?"

Xiang Guang bowed and said, "Princess, you don't know that we met people sent by His Royal Highness Prince Yong on the way. They escorted the Sima family into the city."

"I remembered the prince's instructions and wanted to send him to the capital, but Lord Sima said that after all, we have a special status and are almost in the capital. The danger is very low, so we still have to consider the prince and not let anyone catch us doing anything wrong."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Did the person who went to pick them up check the token?"

Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu smiled at each other, and Ma Liyu took over the conversation: "Don't worry, Princess. There is a token, a token from His Royal Highness Prince Yong, and the person in charge is someone I know."

"There is another person among them. His Royal Highness Prince Yong is worried that we may not believe him, so he specially invited him. He is a close confidant of Prime Minister An, and he also has a handwritten letter from the old Prime Minister."

Yan Ruyu's heart suddenly relaxed, that was correct.

"They also brought a letter from His Royal Highness Prince Yong to the prince." Ma Liyu took out the letter and handed it over with both hands.

Yan Ruyu took it, put it aside, and handed it to Huo Changhe later.

"Xiang Guang, you guys are back just in time. There is something you need to do."

Seeing her serious expression, Xiang Guang did not dare to be negligent and saluted immediately.

"But I will obey the princess' orders."

Yan Ruyu explained the matter briefly. Upon hearing that Huo Changhe was injured and was now faking his death, Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu also became anxious.

"Princess, where is the prince now? Can we meet him first?"

Just now I thought that Huo Changhe was not in the mansion and was out on business, but I didn't expect there was such a hidden secret.

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Of course, the prince is also thinking about you."

"Don't worry, Princess. After I meet the prince, I will go to the army."

The two went to the backyard to see Huo Changhe. Even though they knew it was fake, the makeup looked quite real. When they saw it, their hearts suddenly twisted.

Xiang Guang almost shed tears.

Huo Changhe didn't expect them to come back. After talking about the situation, he felt relieved.

After chatting for a while, Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu took the order and left.

Xiang Guang went to the army to find Li Chengshi, and Ma Liyu returned to the manor.

Yan Ruyu gave Prince Yong's letter to Huo Changhe.

Huo Changhe looked carefully and said to Yan Ruyu, "Although the situation in the capital is tense, it is under the control of Prince Yong. The emperor is seriously ill, and Prince Yong is now showing his talents. The civil and military officials all respect him and obey him."

Yan Ruyu whispered, "So once the emperor dies, Prince Yong will be able to take over the throne?"

Huo Changhe hesitated and said, "It's very likely, but since the crown prince was deposed, there has been no new crown prince. I don't know whether the emperor didn't have time or had other ideas."

"Although Prince Yong is popular, he has no imperial edict..."

Yan Ruyu said, "Although he has no imperial edict, no one else has either. No one has any, so what is there to say? Then it is natural that whoever wins the hearts of the people will do it."

Huo Changhe smiled lightly: "That's right. I naturally hope so too. I want Prince Yong to inherit the throne. He is a good person and I believe he can love the people like his own children."

Yan Ruyu took the letter and said: "Being a good person doesn't mean he can be a good emperor. I hope he can stick to his original intention."

"If he becomes the emperor, the Huo family's grievances will hopefully be redressed."

Huo Changhe asked: "Don't you want to go back to Beijing?"

"Not wanting to return to Beijing and not wanting to clear your name are two different things." Yan Ruyu paused, "I really don't care. False reputation is really insignificant to me."

"But I know that you care, and the Huo family cares. How can you be willing to bear a stigma when you have served the country so loyally?"

"Rightening the name so that future generations will no longer be the sons of criminals is of course meaningful."

Yan Ruyu gently held Huo Changhe's hand and said, "My Lord, if there is a chance, I still hope that you can put aside other concerns and clear the grievances for the Huo family, for your father, and for yourself."

Yan Ruyu knew that Huo Changhe had always hoped for this in his heart.

It was only because I knew she didn't want to return to Beijing that I never mentioned this matter.

Now that she knew that the Sixth Prince, Prince Yong, was expected to ascend the throne, she could not turn a blind eye.

Huo Changhe hugged her gently: "Okay, Yu'er, thank you."

Yan Ruyu patted him on the back and said, "Why thank me? You and I are husband and wife, and we should share the joys and sorrows together."
