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

Chapter 1772 Acting requires full performance

Yan Ruyu left, the silver ingot was also taken away, and Wu Peng was the only one left in the yard.

There were several guards outside the gate, and the courtyard gate was closed before dark.

Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief, but the pain in his body continued.

He said it easily, but in fact he was a little unsure in his heart, wondering what had happened to Huo Changhe.

The poison was powerful, but it was his first time using it, and he only heard about its power.

Never seen it before.

As for the antidote, there is no ready-made one, but it is a prescription in his mind.

I hope that Yan Ruyu, a woman, can't bear it anymore and surrender to him.

At this moment, someone came to bring him food.

He only has one meal a day and cherishes it very much.

The person who delivered the food hated him very much, especially today.

After he finished eating, the person who brought the meal went out again, but did not leave immediately. Low voices were heard outside the door.

"How is the prince?"

"I don't know. The princess has ordered that no one can enter without her permission."

"I heard that the eldest lady's eyes were swollen from crying."

"That's right. The Madam is the prince's mother, so how could it not hurt? Besides, when has the prince ever been injured so badly?"

"Bah! He even asked me to bring food to this bastard! I wish I could beat him to death!"

"Come on, I'll go with you to see the prince."

The footsteps faded away.

Lu Peng's breathing was slightly short. It seemed that Huo Changhe was in bad condition. This must be true.

The next step is to see who can outlast whom.

Lu Peng felt relieved. He leaned against a pillar and closed his eyes to rest. He had to stay in good spirits so that he could run fast.

As long as Huo Changhe's condition continues to deteriorate, there is no need to worry about Yan Ruyu's disapproval.

Besides, there is the eldest lady, Huo Changhe’s biological mother. If she can’t bear it anymore and agrees, she can still let him go.

Lu Peng had a good idea, and at this time the eldest lady was talking to Yan Ruyu.

"Don't worry, mother. The prince is fine, but this scene must be performed. I am just worried that you will believe it, so I came to report it."

The eldest lady's eyes lit up. It had been a long time since she had acted.

"Ruyu, don't worry, just tell me about this, and I'll make sure you don't mess up the performance."

"Then what do you say? Should we hold a funeral?" The eldest lady was eager to try. "But, wouldn't it be a bit too much of a commotion? If Chang He comes back to life, will it scare others?"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

"Mother, there's really no need for that. What we want is that kind of cover-up, that is, pretending to be calm so that others can see at a glance that we are pretending."

"In this case, we shouldn't hold a funeral."

The eldest lady thought and said, "Yes, if this is the case, then we should... pretend that nothing happened and keep the death a secret."

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but praise: "Mother, what you said is very right, that's exactly what I meant."

The eldest lady clapped her hands and said, "Then I will cry tonight, and then go to the cloth shop tomorrow and buy a piece of white cloth, so that others can see how distraught I am."

"I'll go to your yard tomorrow and see him."

Yan Ruyu thought to herself that she had arranged the role herself.

That's good, this way people can see it, and if there really are any spies, we can let them see it.

"Okay, listen to mother."

Yan Ruyu left the eldest lady's courtyard and met Huo Changxu.

"Sister-in-law, where is my brother? Why isn't he with you?"

"Changxu, there is something I need to tell you."

Huo Changxu has grown a lot during this period, and Yan Ruyu did not hide anything from him and told him everything.

Huo Changxu immediately became anxious: "What? My brother was poisoned? What's the situation now?"

"It's okay. I told you this because I wanted you to know. You have to cooperate. Don't go to the bookstore for the next two days."

Huo Changxu understood immediately: "Okay, then I'll go see my brother..."

"It's getting late. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Come with mother tomorrow."

"……it is good."

Yan Ruyu returned to the courtyard, which was very quiet. The boss came forward to greet her, but there was nothing to report.

Yan Ruyu entered the room and turned on the light. Huo Changhe was lying quietly on the bed without opening his eyes. His face was as pale as paper and his lips were deathly white.

Under the light, he really looked like a sick person.

He said nothing, and didn't even open his eyes.

Normally he was extremely alert when he slept, not like he was at this moment.

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat and she quickly stepped forward, grabbing his hand and calling him softly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Huo Changhe was still asleep, and Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"Sun Chuchu!"

She was about to call for help when Huo Changhe grabbed her.

Looking down, Huo Changhe opened his eyes and his gaze was clear, not at all like he was unconscious.

Huo Changhe could clearly see the fear and worry in her eyes, and his heart sank.

"Yu'er, I...I'm sorry. I just wanted to tease you."

He had difficulty speaking and his words were not very clear.

Yan Ruyu looked at him for a few seconds and then hugged him.

Huo Changhe was startled and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry, Yu'er, I was wrong. I won't do it again."

Yan Ruyu buried her head in his neck and whispered, "Your Majesty, don't scare me like this."

Huo Changhe put his hands together and said, "Okay, I promise."

The eldest boss's voice sounded outside the door: "Princess, do you want to see Doctor Sun?"

Yan Ruyu came back to her senses, stood up and said, "No need, it's okay."

The boss retreated again.

Huo Changhe had so much to say, and even though the time hadn't been long, it felt like they had been separated for a long time.

Yan Ruyu sat beside the bed and told him about the interrogation of Wu Peng and the results of the discussion with the eldest lady.

Huo Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Late at night, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu held hands and went to sleep.

It took me a long time to fall asleep.

He excitedly went to the space to find Yan Ruyu, and saw her looking at the paintings she had collected from Erya.

Yan Ruyu opened all the paintings and said, "Your Highness, look, Lu Peng, we should know that he is represented by this big peng bird."

"By analogy, there should be another person represented by the flower, and another person represented by the mountain."

Huo Changhe nodded: "Shan is also a person. I don't know if there is a mountain in his name, not a mountain to describe him. For example, backer."

Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, what you said actually gave me a new idea. I was influenced by Lu Peng and have been wondering if it could be someone with a flower or mountain in his name."

"This is very possible," Huo Changhe said, "It's not difficult. Go find Governor Cao and ask him to send someone to check the household registration book. If they are locals of Youcheng, they will be on the list."

"If not, if you stay in Youcheng for a long time, there will be documents signed and they will be kept on file."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

Yan Ruyu smiled secretly, thinking that she was really confused. She always felt that the present was not as advanced as the modern times, where everything could be had by just typing in a computer.

Although their technology is not advanced now, it is not that they cannot find anything.

"I will go to the governor's mansion tomorrow morning."

Huo Changhe asked: "What are your plans for Wu Peng?"

"Delay him for another day, and then, take the next step."
