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

Chapter 1714 This is called "Darkness Under the Lamp"

After listening to Yan Ruyu and Yinding's explanation, Shopkeeper Yu stood up and saluted without any hesitation.

"Princess, I am sorry to bother you. I will just stay in the palace for a few days."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, give the silver ingots to Shopkeeper Yu and arrange them properly. Don't neglect them."

"Yes."

"Manager Yu," Yan Ruyu said, "If you need any account books, tools, etc., just tell Yinding. You're welcome."

Shopkeeper Yu apologized repeatedly: "I am ashamed to disturb the princess..."

"There's nothing to worry about. We just arrived here and Shopkeeper Yu took the trouble to arrange everything. It's only right for us to do something for Shopkeeper Yu now."

Yinding smiled and said, "Manager Yu, please."

Shopkeeper Yu took his leave.

"Beibei," Yan Ruyu looked at Beibei, "Do you know what to do?"

Beibei has always been smart. After listening to those words just now, he already understood why Yan Ruyu called him here.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely get it done."

He turned and left, leaving only Li Chengshi in the front hall.

Li Cheng had sweat on his forehead and clenched his hands.

"Envoy Li, don't be nervous. There is still time to remedy the situation."

Yan Ruyu did not offer too much comfort. After all, Lu Peng was his subordinate. If something went wrong, he, as the supreme commander, would be to blame. He could not just shirk his responsibility by saying "I didn't know".

Negligence is a sin in itself.

Envoy Li Cheng stood up and bowed respectfully: "Princess, I was blind and deaf, and I didn't see Lu Peng's evil intentions. I failed in my duty, and I am willing to make amends."

Yan Ruyu's eyes were calm and firm: "Okay, Envoy Li Cheng has said this, this princess will remember it, and I hope Envoy Li Cheng will cooperate with you when the time comes."

"must."

As he was speaking, the abbot came with a few small cloth bags in his hands.

"Envoy Li, this is the grain that the abbot prepared for you. Take it back and plant it. Most of the soldiers come from poor and cold backgrounds, so I'm sure many of them know how to farm."

Li Chengshi took the small cloth bag, feeling both excited and guilty.

Yan Ruyu's words gave him an idea. Yes, most soldiers knew how to farm. When the time came, they could be divided into several groups. He could use this opportunity to check on those people that Lu Peng was on good terms with, or disperse them and check them one by one. This would not seem abrupt and arouse Lu Peng's suspicion.

At the same time, if they were dispersed, it would be difficult for Lu Peng to ask them to leave.

Li Chengshi looked at Yan Ruyu and saw a smile on her face, so he knew that she was reminding him.

Envoy Li Cheng bowed deeply and said, "Princess, I understand your instructions. I will go back and prepare now."

After leaving the palace, Li Cheng felt a bitter taste in his heart. From his son to himself, he had owed so many favors to the prince and princess, and they had saved their family's lives so many times.

From then on, the Zhennan Palace was the most sacred existence in his heart, and he would be loyal to the prince and princess.

……

Yan Ruyu returned to the courtyard and added Lu Peng's name to the picture of the Qiu family.

Lu Peng's appearance did frighten her, but fortunately she discovered him early. As she said to Li Chengshi, there was still time to remedy the situation.

However, judging from the fact that Lu Peng and his men met Qiu Kexing today, Lu Peng should not know that the manor has been returned to the palace.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so blatant.

This is perfect, it's like Lu Peng is in the light and they are in the dark. Let's see what tricks Lu Peng can come up with.

According to information obtained by Yinding and Xiaolan, Lu Peng once mentioned "superiors", which shows that there is someone behind him.

Was he a member of the city defense army, or someone who instructed him to infiltrate the city defense army? It was still unknown.

No matter from which perspective, the current decision is the most correct one.

Just be patient and I believe they will reveal their true colors soon.

……

Qiu Keshi sat in a private room in the teahouse, and the waiter Baicha served him a pot of lemon black tea.

It really smells delicious and lives up to its reputation.

This is the busiest teahouse in West City, and it became famous with this pot of lemon black tea. I thought it was a good match, but many people went back to try and it didn't work.

It's either sour, bitter, or has too much tea flavor, it's not good at all.

I also thought that I would get tired of drinking one cup of tea after a long time, but, not long after, two other cups came out.

Still delicious, still popular.

Qiu Keshi also heard from his father that he originally wanted to buy a few shops, but not only did he fail to do so, he was also tricked by the Princess of Zhennan.

I heard that this tea shop became prosperous thanks to the royal palace.

He would like to come and see and try it.

I had just had a drink when someone pushed the door open.

Lu Peng changed into a military uniform and wore a hat.

"Why did you choose such a place?"

Qiu Keshi poured him a cup of tea and said, "It's called darkness under the lamp. It's lively here, but because it's related to the Zhennan Palace, no one dares to cause trouble here, and they are not afraid of being followed."

“It’s actually the safest.”

Lu Peng always felt something was wrong and felt uneasy, so he wanted to say goodbye and leave as soon as possible.

"As planned, I have found someone and will go to your house tomorrow. We will act according to the plan then."

Qiu Keshi nodded: "Okay, you over there..."

Lu Peng interrupted him: "Let's meet less often in the future, not unless necessary, and don't send me messages. I will find you if there is anything."

Qiu Ke Shi was a little unhappy.

He was quite happy to learn that his helpers were the city defense troops and that they had men under their command, as it felt like he had someone to rely on.

Who would have thought that Lu Peng would say this before doing anything, clearly trying to distance himself from the matter.

What kind of help is this?

Lu Peng saw his emotions and felt contempt for him. As expected, the merchant was not presentable and only cared about his own trivial matters.

"I am in the city defense army. Not only am I subject to military law, but I also have so many eyes. If I am seen by someone, I can't guarantee that I will not be found out."

"It was not easy for my superiors to arrange for me to join the Youcheng City Defense Army. I can't let this ruin the whole thing."

"I'll find you if I need anything."

Lu Peng didn't want to explain too much to him. Whether he could understand it or not was his business.

Qiu Keshi nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Lu Peng didn't say another word, didn't even drink a sip of tea, and got up and left.

Qiu Ke Shi snorted and laughed, drank a few cups of tea, brought back another pot, and then left.

As soon as he left, the two people in the next room also left.

It took less than half a day for Manager Yu's things to be moved to the palace.

As Yan Ruyu said, he was given a secluded courtyard. Although it was not big, it was enough for him to live alone. The key was to make him feel safe and comfortable.

The abbot came to see him and pointed out his own residence, which was not far away, and sincerely invited him to visit him when he had time.

Manager Yu was naturally happy. He had heard that the abbot had traveled a lot, had a wide range of knowledge, and could tell many new stories.

He moved into the palace, and the shopkeeper Yu, who was disguised as a secret guard by Beibei, also entered the shop.

Not to mention the people who are rarely seen, even the guys who follow behind every day would be dazed if they looked closely.

The next morning, Yan Ruyu received news that someone who came to keep an eye on the Qiu Mansion reported that the old lady of the Qiu family was ill. No one knew what had happened. Many doctors were consulted but none of them could cure her. They said that she had lost her soul and it was not an ordinary illness.

Not long after, an old Taoist entered the Qiu Mansion.
