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

Chapter 1706: Letter from the Palace

Doctor Cao was also surprised.

"That...that's not..."

Doctor Cao couldn't bear to say any more.

In that battle that year, Huo Changhe encountered the most brutal confrontation since he went to the battlefield.

Although we won in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory.

Several of his lieutenants and a vanguard lost their lives there, as well as an ambush team of more than 300 people.

They all died of poisoning, the same poison, the seven-herb flower poison.

The poison is colorless, odorless and extremely potent. It can remain dormant in the human body for an hour and then suddenly attack, taking the life of the person in an instant, leaving no time for rescue.

When a person dies, the whites of their eyes will turn a strange purple-blue color, and half an hour after death, blue or green spots will begin to appear on their body, as if covered with flower vines.

It is said that this poison is made from seven kinds of grass and seven kinds of flowers, with the proportions randomly changed. I'm afraid that even the person who made the poison himself doesn't know the antidote.

So, there is no solution at all.

Military Doctor Cao was there at the time and participated in the rescue efforts, but he also personally announced that the patient was beyond help.

He thought that after so many years, he had long forgotten about this matter, but today he suddenly realized that it was not the case.

It's just hidden somewhere deeper and will not be remembered.

Doctor Cao was silent for a while: "Then, the person behind the scenes..."

"Not caught," Huo Changhe replied.

Doctor Cao actually thought of this result, otherwise Huo Changhe would not be in his current state.

The two were in silence when a strange noise was heard outside the window.

Huo Changhe was slightly shocked and quickly opened the window. A carrier pigeon landed on the window.

"Zhao Liang and his team are back again," Huo Changhe said with joy, "Yu'er asked him to bring a letter."

Huo Changhe destroyed the note and quickly left the inn.

Doctor Cao fed the pigeons and sighed. He thought that even if the problem was difficult, it could be solved as soon as possible in Shanghai. Who knew that it would be delayed until now.

Now the poison has emerged again, and no one knows when it will end.

Huo Changhe went outside the inn and saw Zhao Liang.

Zhao Liang greeted him and briefly told him what happened on his return trip.

"This is the letter and something the princess asked me to bring to you."

The small bag was heavy and the letters were also quite thick.

Huo Changhe felt extremely relieved when he held the things. Thinking about the scene when Yan Ruyu prepared these things for him, his heart felt both bitter and warm.

Huo Changhe wanted to ask if the princess was okay, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.

Even if asked, Zhao Liang would say it's fine.

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Liang said, "My Lord, the princess said that everything is fine in the mansion, so don't worry."

Huo Changhe clenched the thing in his hand: "Okay, I understand."

"My Lord, then we..."

"It's the same as last time. You guys should familiarize yourself with the environment of Shencheng. I will find you if there is anything."

"Yes."

Zhao Liang left, and Huo Changhe took his things back to his room.

Doctor Cao was still in the room. When he saw him come back with something, his eyes lit up slightly and he couldn't help but come closer.

If you believe him, you don’t need to look at it. The key is what’s in the bag.

I opened the bundle and found some snacks, some medicines, and a few red and yellow fruits inside.

Doctor Cao's gaze was too direct, so Huo Changhe handed him a red fruit.

"I've been working hard these past two days."

Doctor Cao took it happily and his eyes fell on the M beans.

Huo Changhe held back his laughter and was reluctant to give more, so he gave a small tube.

Although Doctor Cao was not very satisfied, he put aside his previous worries and took it away to enjoy it happily.

Huo Changhe stroked each item gently, his eyes full of tenderness. Ruyu must have been preparing everything for him under the lamp and putting them into the bag.

When I opened the letter, I saw Yan Ruyu's unique handwriting on the paper, which no one else could imitate.

He read carefully line by line and saw that she talked about the affairs of the palace and took care of Mu Wu's funeral. He sighed that she was worthy of being the mistress of the palace and handled everything very properly.

Seeing her talking about Huo Changxu again, he felt guilty for making her worry too much, but he was also glad that his brother had grown up and knew how to share his worries with his eldest sister-in-law.

When she mentioned the cause of Mu Wu's death, she couldn't help but frown. Was it like this? She looked back hastily, and when Miaomiao said that she could develop a medicine powder, she felt relieved again.

Later, he mentioned that Princess Mingzhao had also come to Shencheng, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Finally, Li Jingyao returned home and brought back news about the outside of the Great Wall. As he expected, after investigation over the past few days, he also determined that this was not a plague at all, but a conspiracy.

After reading it over and over again several times, he told Doctor Cao what he had said about Li Jingyao.

Doctor Cao reluctantly swallowed the chocolate in his mouth and said, "It's just as you expected."

Huo Changhe asked him to provide free medical treatment not just to create momentum and attract people, but also to see if these people had any hidden diseases.

After checking, there was not a single one that met the criteria for the epidemic.

So, those people bought the drugs just to stock up, and when the time came, they would release the poison, which would be very similar to the epidemic. Then someone else would appear and spread the news, saying it was some kind of epidemic, causing panic among the people. Then, they would sell it at a high price and make a fortune.

Making money is one aspect, but on the other hand, controlling medicinal materials is equivalent to holding the lives of all the people in the city and controlling the lifeblood of Shencheng.

By then, if they say they are going east, it may be difficult for them to go west.

Huo Changhe's eyes were as cold as ice, and he quickly thought of this.

"What a vicious plan."

Doctor Cao is a doctor and he hates people who use poison to harm others.

What made him hate it even more was that it harmed ordinary people.

"Your Majesty, evil people like this must be severely punished."

Huo Changhe picked up his pen and wrote a reply to Yan Ruyu.

……

The next morning, Yan Ruyu woke up and went to the next yard. The abbot was no longer there. He had gone to the mine.

When she arrived, the four old men were discussing something happily.

Seeing her coming, Shopkeeper Yu hurried over to greet her.

"Princess, I dare not touch this mine, but this manor is so close, I am willing to help, Princess, please feel free to use it."

This has been a great help.

Yan Ruyu also knew that Manager Yu was a member of the Qian family. The Qian family was wealthy and were also businessmen. If the imperial court knew about this one day, it would be troublesome.

She and Huo Changhe were in the northwest and had no hope of returning to Beijing. They were not afraid because the emperor was far away.

But the Qian family is different. They have business everywhere, including the capital. What's more, the Qian and Qiu families are relatives, and many of the children from the two families are related to the imperial court.

We can't involve others just because of an iron mine.

Yan Ruyu thought about this and said, "Manager Yu, this matter is what I want to discuss with you."

"Can you rent this manor to the palace for three years?"

Shopkeeper Yu immediately understood what she meant and knew that she was afraid of bringing trouble to the Qian family.

Shopkeeper Yu is just a shopkeeper. Although he is the general manager of Shencheng, he still cannot make the decision on such a big matter as the iron mine.

However, if he has nothing to do with this manor, that would be another matter.

There are so many manors here, and I chose this one because it is well maintained and the price is not high.

Since this has happened, why not do me a favor?
