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

Chapter 1789: Lying in the coffin feels good

Yan Ruyu carried the food box back to the yard.

Huo Changhe couldn't hold back any longer.

"Yu'er, when can I change my face back to this state?"

Yan Ruyu knew that he was a little annoyed staying here all the time, so she comforted him, "After dinner, let's go to the courtyard of the mourning hall together."

Huo Changhe's eyes lit up: "Tonight?"

"almost."

If there really is a big fish behind the scenes, he would never be able to get away with it just by looking at a mourning hall. If the coffin is found to be empty, it will only backfire.

Before, it was just a show because the timing was not right. Now, the time has come.

Huo Changhe had to lie down in the coffin.

"Your Highness, please bear with it. It will be fine soon. Someone should come to see you tonight."

Huo Changhe sighed softly: "Why can't I tolerate this? You are the one who is suffering. I just don't want to see you suffering alone."

Yan Ruyu handed him the spoon and said, "If you say something like that again, I will be angry."

"Eat quickly."

It was pitch black outside, and the candlelight was flickering inside the house. The two of them sat opposite each other at a small table in front of the window, eating dinner quietly.

Such quiet and beautiful time made Huo Changhe deeply feel that life should be like this, only then it would be meaningful.

"What will happen tonight? Has the person behind the scenes revealed his true colors?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Daxiaoshan's purpose of coming back this time is not simple. I suspect that Li Sanlang's death is an excuse they deliberately found."

"And the mark drawn by Lu Peng should also have some clues."

Huo Changhe was slightly delighted: "Did Envoy Li give us any news?"

"It has not been confirmed yet, but I have sent a deputy general to deliver the list. I will show it to you after dinner."

After hearing this, Huo Changhe felt that there was indeed hope for tonight.

"Okay, I'll go after dinner."

"Among the list given by Envoy Li, is there anyone he suspects?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment, "There is indeed one, his name is Xu Congshan, his place of origin is unknown. According to the deputy general of Li Chengshi, he is not from Youcheng, nor from Shencheng. He is registered as Jiangcheng, but he does not speak with a Jiangcheng accent.

Xu Congshan joined the army five years ago. At that time, Shen Huaixin had the final say. As long as someone wanted to join the army and didn’t have any major physical problems, he could do it. "

“So, the registration was not detailed at that time.”

Huo Changhe nodded: "Five years ago... at that time, the tribes outside the Great Wall were not peaceful. Internal strife broke out every few days. The losers would break into the Great Wall from time to time to steal things and leave. They did recruit a lot of soldiers."

"There are similar situations in Shanghai. Sometimes, most of the people who come to join the army are unable to survive in hard times and want to earn a salary to support a large family, or they are the only one left in the family."

"The life of a soldier is hard, not only mentally but also physically," Huo Changhe said with a heavy heart, "so, as a general, you should take good care of the soldiers."

Yan Ruyu thought of her original unit. She had never felt this way before, but now after hearing what Huo Changhe said, she recalled her colleagues. Although they were all recruited because they had special abilities and tried to have as little contact with their families as possible, in fact, most of them had no family to contact.

Most of them are alone and their workplace is their home.

She is relatively lucky because she has a grandfather who is a family member and happens to be a person with superpowers like her. She has only met her parents a few times since she was a child.

Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Huo Changhe said with a little guilt: "Did I say too much? Don't you like to hear this?"

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "How could that be? I just wondered why Xu Congshan lied about his place of origin."

"Since you're hiding something, there must be something you don't want others to know," Huo Changhe put down his chopsticks, "Just dig deeper and let the secret guards do it."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, after you go to the mourning hall, I will make arrangements."

The two finished their meal quietly. Yan Ruyu put a black cloak on Huo Changhe and took him to the mourning hall.

The eldest lady and Huo Changxu had just finished dinner and came over. The eldest lady was very full and was counting paper money.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming over, he held up the paper money and asked in a low voice: "Yu'er, have you eaten yet? The soup tonight is good, have you had it?"

Yan Ruyu took the incense and lit it: "I drank it. I heard from the people in the kitchen that my mother specially asked me to make it for me. I drank two big bowls."

The eldest lady smiled happily, and Huo Changxu reminded her: "Mother, pay attention to your emotions."

The eldest lady stopped smiling and glared at him: "I ate too much, I can't even digest it or have a little fun, you have to..."

As the eldest lady spoke, she raised her eyes and saw that there was someone behind Yan Ruyu, wearing a black cloak.

He was startled and looked at her and asked, "Who are you? You are so sneaky. Take off your cloak."

Huo Changhe: "..."

He took off his cloak, revealing a face with an abnormal look.

The eldest lady was startled again, and after seeing that it was him, she was stunned for a long while.

Huo Changhe was afraid that she was really scared, so he quickly whispered: "Mom, don't worry, my face is..."

The eldest lady made a sound and interrupted him: "Don't talk anymore. Hurry over and don't hang around in front of me. If I see you again, you'll vomit up your dinner."

Huo Changhe: “…” Mother’s love disappears so quickly.

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and patted the coffin: "Prince, come on."

Huo Changhe took off his cloak, handed it to Huo Changxu, jumped into the coffin and lay down.

Not to mention, even though it’s fake, it’s not bad at all. The coffin is in good condition, solid, heavy, and spacious.

I lay down in it with the lid open and it was quite cool.

He thought: It would be nice if I could see the stars in the sky, like when we are camping.

Yan Ruyu watched him lie down, whispered a few words of advice, and then went to the eldest lady and Huo Changxu.

"Mother, Changxu, something special should happen tonight. You guys stay here for a while, then go back."

The eldest lady was surprised: "If there is something special, shouldn't we stay? It's a good opportunity to let others see that it's real."

"No need. Isn't the prince lying here? His lying here is more convincing than anything else."

That's true. No matter how realistic the acting is or how genuine the crying is, it's still acting. If Huo Changhe himself shows up and pretends to be a corpse, others will think it's real after just one look.

"Besides, if there is an accident tonight, it won't be ordinary people who come. I'm afraid you won't be safe. It's better to go back early and don't let me worry."

The eldest lady was determined not to hold back and nodded immediately: "Okay, we'll listen to you."

"However, Ruyu, since there is danger, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, I will."

The eldest lady burned some paper, lit some incense, cried a few times, and accidentally fainted. Huo Changxu, in a sobbing voice, directed people to carry her back to the yard.

It's a matter of course.

Li Erlang from the next yard put his ear to the wall and used a small stick to poke a small hole between the bricks.

But the hole was too small and nothing could be seen clearly. I only saw that the eldest lady seemed to be carried away.

But the sound was clearly audible.

He confirmed it and went to the other wall.

"Mountain!"
