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

Chapter 1654 Danger Surrounded

Da Huang ran to Yan Ruyu, squatted down, and looked at her with his head tilted.

Seems very worried.

Yan Ruyu touched its head and said, "What are you doing? Don't worry, the things in the mansion will not affect you."

Dahuang lay down again and licked her hand.

Yan Ruyu handed it a piece of dried meat and said, "Myna is not here, and no one will snatch it from you."

Dahuang blinked and looked at her.

"Are you worried about the starling? Don't worry, it's so smart, it will be fine."

Da Huang thought to himself, that stupid bird is just thinking too well of itself, right?

Yan Ruyu looked outside. It was still dark and she didn't know where Huo Changhe was.

……

Huo Changhe reined in his horse and called the three people behind him, Song Ping's brothers, to come to the front.

He pointed with his whip: "See that road?"

The three of them nodded: "I saw it."

"Take this road and keep going straight. After about 20 miles, there will be a fork in the road. Ignore it and just keep going along the road. You will reach the east gate of Shencheng."

"Split into two groups. You will resume your original identities as Jianghu people. Remember, you are here to travel the Jianghu."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will remember it."

"Xiao Lan is for you. If anything happens, ask her to report it," Huo Changhe instructed. "Take all the luggage that the princess prepared for you. It contains all the emergency items. Be careful."

"Yes!"

"After I enter the city, I will stay in the east of the city. There is an inn called Guanwai. I will book the east side of the second floor. If you see the window open and the vase on the windowsill, come to see me. Otherwise, lie in wait in secret and do not act rashly."

"Yes!"

Huo Changhe handed them a letter and said, "There are some more things to note. Write them down here. Note down every one of them and destroy them later."

After giving clear instructions, Huo Changhe led his men to continue forward.

The three of them took Xiaolan with them and headed towards the path.

Doctor Cao did not sleep all night. When it was almost dawn, he just touched the pillow and got up again. He could not go out of the yard to cause trouble to others, so he could only walk around in the yard. Overnight, a bunch of blisters appeared on his lips.

Miss Cao was not idle either. She did not hide the fact that she had saved military doctor Cao from her husband and told him everything.

"Madam, you are right. This is how it should be. Let me go and deliver the letter. The prince and princess have been very kind to us, so I should do something as well."

"No need, husband, just pretend you don't know. I'll handle this matter. We are husband and wife, you are in the light and I am in the dark."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, madam."

The two of them acted separately, and on the surface everything was calm and nothing had changed. But in fact, Miss Cao was operating secretly. As soon as pedestrians started to appear on the street, she immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to Qian's pharmacy.

The owner of the Qian Family Pharmacy in Shencheng is named Liang. He is also an old employee with many years of experience and is deeply trusted.

He is not only proficient in medicinal materials, but also understands shop operations and the market conditions of medicinal materials.

He had felt something was wrong these past few days, but he had been keeping it to himself. When he heard that someone had died in West City Medicine Street yesterday, he couldn't help it and thought about writing a letter to Youcheng.

I had just picked up the pen and written a few lines when the waiter knocked on the door: "Boss, a lady wants to see you."

Shopkeeper Liang wondered whose lady it was so early in the morning?

However, since he came, there must be a reason.

As soon as we met, I recognized her as Miss Cao.

A few days ago, Miss Cao came back to Shencheng and brought him a letter and some things. This also shows that the Cao family has a special relationship with the Zhennan Palace and the shops in Youcheng.

Shopkeeper Liang was about to greet Miss Cao when he saw that she looked serious and knew that something had happened.

"Miss Cao, what can I do for you?"

Miss Cao took out the letter written by Doctor Cao and said, "Take a look at this."

In addition, there is also a token from the Youcheng Pharmacy.

Shopkeeper Liang's heart skipped a beat. He did not dare to delay and quickly opened the letter to read. What Military Doctor Cao wrote in the letter was about the abnormalities he found in the West City Pharmacy Street, and that he was being chased and separated from his companions, and asked for help.

Shopkeeper Liang closed the letter and asked the waiter to guard the door. He closed the door and whispered, "Please follow me."

His room is independent, and usually contains account books, precious medicinal materials, and silver payments.

All these valuables were sent through a secret passage to a dark room in the backyard.

Shopkeeper Liang lit the lamp and took Miss Cao to the dark room.

"Look."

Feng Xiao took some medicine and just fell asleep. It was a terrifying night. He didn't notice his injury when he was busy, but he realized how painful it was when he had free time.

Last night, I risked my life to bring the dying Quan Dao here to ask for help.

Shopkeeper Liang and his men rescued them and placed them in a dark room.

Quan Dao's injuries were serious, and it took almost dawn just to treat and bandage his wounds. Upon examination of Feng Shao's injuries, it was suspected that his bones were fractured. Fortunately, they were not broken, otherwise it would have been more troublesome.

I had just fallen asleep, but not yet fully asleep, when I suddenly heard a noise and immediately turned over and sat up.

"who!"

Feng Shao naturally recognized Miss Cao, as he had gone to the Governor's Mansion to deliver gifts many times before.

When I saw an acquaintance, especially an acquaintance from Youcheng, my heart was filled with warmth and tears almost fell.

Miss Cao was also quite surprised: "How is it? Are you okay?"

Feng Xiao covered his chest and shook his head: "I'm fine, but Quan Dao was seriously injured, and the others... Mu Wu is dead."

He choked up in his throat, "I don't know where Su Wen is, and the three secret guards are also missing for the time being."

"The key is Doctor Cao. In such a hurry, we don't know whether he is safe or not..."

Miss Cao's nose was also a little sour, and she quickly comforted him: "Doctor Cao is fine, he is with me."

Bee Whistle was surprised: "Really?"

Miss Cao looked at Shopkeeper Liang, who took out the letter and the token: "Seriously, this is it. Here are the things and the handwritten letter."

Feng Shao pursed his lips and said, "That's good. Otherwise, I don't know how to explain to the prince and princess."

"Brother Mu Wu..."

Shopkeeper Liang said, "Leave this matter to me. I will go and see if I can collect your body."

Miss Cao nodded: "I can also send people to help. Feng Shao, you stay here and recover from your injuries. If there is any news, I will tell Shopkeeper Liang and then notify you."

"Time is running out. Military Doctor Cao has another letter for me to take to General Xiao. If this matter gets out of hand, he will have to intervene. I have to go quickly."

Miss Cao turned around to leave, but Feng Shao hurriedly called out to her, "Miss Cao, don't go yet."

"Why?"

Feng Xiao gritted his teeth and thought again and again: "Before I fainted yesterday, I saw a figure swaying in a trance. In addition to those things that were neither human nor ghost, there were also a few shadows."

"What they are wearing are guard uniforms. I suspect..."

Feng Shao hesitated for five seconds, but still said firmly: "I suspect that they are from the Dutong Mansion."

Miss Cao was shocked, and Shopkeeper Liang's expression also changed slightly.

Miss Cao whispered in disbelief: "Do you suspect that the Governor's Office is colluding with people outside the Great Wall?"

"No, no," Feng Shao shook his head, "I think there must be a traitor in the Governor's Mansion. If you go there like this, you might be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble."

Miss Cao nodded slowly: "I understand. Whether it's true or not, it's always better to be careful."

Shopkeeper Liang suggested: "How about I send someone. We are all civilians, so we are smaller targets and won't attract attention."

"That's not necessarily true. They are planning to take the medicinal herbs. You are the largest medicinal herbs shop in Shencheng and you have never had any dealings with the Governor's Mansion before. How can you rashly come to your door..."

Shopkeeper Liang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Miss Cao thought, "I have a way."
