Chapter 1537 Out of danger
Chapter 1537 Out of danger
The two guys looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I didn't see that thing later. Uncle Zhong Mao was injured at the time, and everyone was in a mess, so I didn't pay attention."
"Shall we go look for them?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, take a few people to look for it."
"Yes."
The two men walked quickly, and Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu walked into the shop in front.
Old Li quickly bowed to greet him.
Yan Ruyu looked at him, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Yan Ruyu sighed secretly.
"Your Highness, Princess," Old Li bent over, "Do you want to take me away, or should I go to the government office myself? I will never run away."
"Go to the yamen yourself," Yan Ruyu said.
Old Li bent his waist and dared not move: "Yes, I will go right away."
When he was about to leave, Yan Ruyu walked to the table, took out a pen and paper and wrote a note.
"Give this note to Governor Cao, and he will arrange for you to work in Xicheng. Your wages will be paid by the government office, and you will get the same wages as others."
Old Li was stunned: "Work? Wages?"
"You should have heard about the reconstruction of West City. There will be a lot of work to be done there. Take your carriage and go there. Follow the arrangements. The work for the government will certainly not be in vain. The wages will be higher than usual, and they will be guaranteed every day."
Old Li's hands were shaking and tears were streaming down his face.
"Princess, I...I don't know what to say. What should I do with the people I hurt? I am willing to take responsibility."
Just as Yan Ruyu was about to speak, Doctor Cao came running over.
"Princess, Zhong Mao is awake!"
Huo Zhongmao felt like he had had a very long dream.
He was just about to go out when he ran into a frightened horse and was trampled. Later, he seemed to be carried somewhere. The light was very bright, and he could faintly hear the sound of a knife cutting flesh and the sound of a needle sewing.
In short, it's pretty scary.
When he woke up and saw Doctor Cao, he vaguely felt that it might not have been a dream.
He wanted to move, but Doctor Cao quickly stopped him: "Don't move, don't move. You can't move now."
Huo Zhongmao raised his hand and moved it a little: "What's wrong with me?"
"You don't remember?" Doctor Cao took his temperature.
"I seemed to be trampled by a horse," Huo Zhongmao said. "I thought I was going to die. Did you save me?"
"It's not me, it's the princess. She doesn't have a fever. Wait, I'll go get the princess."
Huo Zhongmao's mind gradually became clear and he recalled everything that had happened before.
Just as he was thinking about it, Yan Ruyu came in a hurry.
"Princess, I..." Huo Zhongmao wanted to get up.
Yan Ruyu held him down: "Don't move, lie down, how do you feel?"
"I...except for being unable to move, everything else is fine."
"You can't move now. You have to wait a few days. Don't worry, Sister Rong will be here soon and will take you home to recuperate later."
Huo Zhongmao said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
Their entire family had their lives saved by Yan Ruyu.
I really can't repay you enough.
"Princess, I have something else to report. I originally wanted to go to the palace to report the news."
Huo Changhe whispered, "Speak slowly."
"I received an order from a Taoist temple to make a batch of incense. A young Taoist priest gave me a sample, and I recognized it. It was a very rare kind of incense. Just a little bit could make people lose their consciousness."
"He wants to use that piece of incense to make a large batch of incense. He must have bad intentions. That's why I want to report to the palace."
"I didn't expect that..." Huo Zhongmao sighed, "However, Princess, please don't blame the old man. He is the owner of the horse. He didn't do it on purpose, and he tried his best to hold it back."
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm not blaming him. I've arranged for him to work in West City and earn wages."
Huo Zhongmao finally let go of his worries.
Yan Ruyu asked, "Where did the Taoist priest find you? Did he tell me which Taoist temple he was from? I asked the shop assistants, and they said they had never seen the Taoist priest, nor had they seen the order form."
"He came in through the back door," Huo Zhongmao said, "He only said who it was from. I asked him and he said I would know when the time came. He also said he had a big order and wanted to keep it a secret. He asked me to see if I could use that thing to make incense. If I could, he would ask for shipment and write an order."
Yan Ruyu suddenly realized, that's what it was.
If she had not been able to perform the surgery and save Huo Zhongmao, now that something has happened and the person has died, the Taoist priest and the order would have become a secret and no one would know about it.
Yan Ruyu now begins to doubt whether this order is a cover-up.
Huo Changhe also had this idea: "This order is not credible. Once Zhongmao got into trouble, the Taoist priest disappeared, and the thing also disappeared."
Huo Zhongmao was a little anxious: "The thing is gone? I was holding it in my hand at the time, and it must have rolled away due to some collision."
"You don't have to worry about it. Someone has already gone to look for him." Yan Ruyu comforted him, "You should recover first."
As he was speaking, Rong came with a food box. Her eyes were swollen and dark under her eyes.
Needless to say, I didn't sleep last night either.
Seeing Huo Zhongmao wake up and hearing Yan Ruyu say that he was fine, he wanted to laugh, but tears came out first.
"Thank you, thank you, Princess. If it weren't for you, he would have..."
If it weren’t for the princess, how could that kind of injury be cured?
She was about to kneel down, but Yan Ruyu held her up.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
"No, Princess, you asked me to kneel. Only by kneeling can I express my gratitude. You have helped us so much in the past year."
Rong knelt down and kowtowed three times to Yan Ruyu in a proper manner.
Huo Zhongmao's eyes also became wet. He felt both bitter and warm in his heart as he watched his wife perform this great ceremony on his behalf.
Yan Ruyu stepped out, leaving the space for the couple.
When Yan Ruyu went outside, Doctor Cao was talking to Sun Chuchu. Sun Chuchu was not there yesterday because he went to the countryside to see other patients.
The Sun family has always had this tradition. Whenever the season changes, they will take a few days to go to the countryside and provide free medical treatment to the poor.
As soon as he came back today, he heard that Huo Zhongmao had been in trouble and was seriously injured. He hurried over and heard from Military Doctor Cao that Yan Ruyu had performed the surgery personally last night. He was really upset and missed the opportunity.
Seeing Yan Ruyu coming out, he hurried forward and took the initiative to ask to take care of Huo Zhongmao's subsequent matters.
Yan Ruyu readily agreed and gave him a thermometer and some antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Sun Chuchu was so happy.
Huo Zhongmao will be able to go home to recuperate in the afternoon, and Yan Ruyu entrusted him to the care of military doctor Cao and Sun Chuchu.
As soon as she returned to the palace, the eldest lady hurried to see her.
"Drink the soup quickly. You are always very tired after every surgery. Hurry up and replenish yourself."
The first lady saw Yan Ruyu drink the soup, and then asked: "How is Zhongmao? Is the problem serious?"
"It's okay, mother, don't worry. You will be able to go home and recuperate in the afternoon." Yan Ruyu comforted, "There won't be any sequelae in the future."
The eldest lady finally breathed a sigh of relief. After going through all the hardships together, she had long regarded Huo Zhongmao and his wife as her own family.
When she heard that Huo Zhongmao was in trouble, she was shocked and did not sleep well that night. She wanted to go and see him, but was afraid of disturbing Yan Ruyu.
Fortunately, all the news that came was good news.
