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

Chapter 1567 Things Go Wrong

When Yan Ruyu heard Taoist Xuanqing mention the "track of events", her eyebrows twitched slightly.

It sounded as if he knew how things should be done.

But she remained calm and waited for Taoist Xuanqing to continue.

"Princess, if I'm not mistaken, the second young master will soon meet a woman named Qingyue. This woman can make paper, and her craftsmanship is pretty good. The second young master felt sorry for her and offered to introduce her to some paper shops, but she said that it's not appropriate for a woman to show up in public. She doesn't want to meet other men and wants to cooperate."

"So, the second young master started selling her paper. At first, she did help him make some money, but later, the results were different."

"Her paper will poison anyone who uses it. Many people came to find the Second Young Master. He explained to everyone what the woman had done, but she has disappeared."

"Everyone reported to the police, and the second young master was taken into custody. He had some poisoned paper in his hand. The evidence was irrefutable, and he was sentenced."

"He had some literary integrity and refused to be humiliated, but he had no way to appeal for justice, so he committed suicide in prison. His wife also fell seriously ill and is no longer as healthy as before."

Yan Ruyu listened quietly, her face looking normal, but her heart was filled with turmoil.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and didn't believe that Xuanqing or the Goddess of Heaven's Eye had any predictive abilities, but when Xuanqing said these things, he looked calm, composed, and didn't seem to be lying.

Moreover, what he said was logical and well-organized, and did not seem to be fabricated out of thin air.

If she hadn't come, and if the Zhennan Palace had difficulty entering Youcheng, given Huo Changhe's prestige in the northwest, it might not have been particularly sad, but it certainly wouldn't have been easy.

Just look at the Sima family.

Huo Changxu must also go out to work to supplement the family income, and all he can do is copying books, writing letters and the like.

"What is your purpose in telling this to my princess?" Yan Ruyu smiled, "To prove your ability to predict the future?"

Taoist Xuanqing shook his head: "Princess, this is wrong. I don't need to prove my ability to anyone. I told you the truth because I want to establish a good relationship with the Zhennan Palace."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "Good fate? When the Taoist priest met the prince privately before, he kept saying that this princess is a demon. This doesn't look like he wants to have a good fate."

Taoist Xuanqing did not feel embarrassed. He flicked his whisk and said, "This is one time, that is another time. The past cannot be pursued. Just live in the present. What do you think, Princess?"

"It's nothing," Yan Ruyu said bluntly, "Don't think you can get away with it by saying a few chicken soup words."

"Xuanqing, you want to sell the prince a good thing, using the power of the Zhennan Palace and the prince's prestige to build momentum for yourself. You think that if you say I am a demon, the prince will believe you, listen to you, and get rid of me, and you can also gain the prince's trust."

"Unfortunately, you miscalculated. The prince did not trust you and even hated you. So, you changed your strategy and wanted to regain his trust by telling him about the old prince's affairs."

When he heard her mention the old prince, Taoist Xuanqing's expression changed slightly.

He couldn't help but complain, what on earth was the Prince of Zhennan thinking? I told him not to tell the princess, but he just said it again!

"Xuanqing," Yan Ruyu looked at his face, "I'm telling you the truth. If the prince is hurt, I'll make you regret it and want to live but not die."

Taoist Xuanqing forced a smile: "Princess, you really know how to joke."

"This princess never jokes with people she hates."

Taoist Priest Xuanqing: “…”

Yan Ruyu tapped the table with her fingers: "Let's get back to the point. What do you want to do?"

Taoist Xuanqing cleared his throat, his confidence not as strong as before: "I know that I have offended the princess before..."

"Don't say these clichés. Even if you don't say that I am a demon, my impression of you will not be much better. Just tell me your purpose directly."

"What I just said is indeed true. It is because of the previous unpleasantness that I want to make amends. Please give me a chance to show my sincerity."

"It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't believe it now. You can wait and see whether the second young master will know a woman named Qingyue."

"Then we will know whether what I said is true or false."

He paused for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. "Originally, there was one more thing I wanted to tell you. I wanted to wait until the princess confirmed that this was true and believed me before I told you. To show my sincerity, I can tell you now."

"That woman is actually a spy for Dacheng. Her father was also a spy. He was discovered and captured by the prince in Shencheng and committed suicide. She is looking for the second young master, firstly to make merit, and secondly to seek revenge."

"Originally, the prince captured this woman only after the second young master committed suicide. This time, I can inform the princess first to avoid tragedy."

What he said was clear and unambiguous. Yan Ruyu thought, if this woman was not arranged by him, then there must be another reason.

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

Yan Ruyu turned and left without looking back.

Taoist Xuanqing looked at her back with a deep and meaningful gaze.

Yan Ruyu walked alone on the street, thinking about what had just been said.

Before I knew it, I arrived outside Huo Changxu's shop.

She stood there and didn't go in for a while.

When Huo Changxu came back from outside, he saw her standing here and hurried forward to greet her.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you come in? Are you here to see me? What do you want me to do?"

Yan Ruyu looked back at him: "It's okay, I was just passing by, what were you doing?"

"Go deliver some paper to West City. They use it up very quickly. Recently, they use paper for registration, record keeping, and everything else. Governor Cao has asked me to deliver some paper. The bill will be settled every two weeks."

"Very good," Yan Ruyu nodded appreciatively.

She looked at Huo Changxu carefully: "He has grown taller."

Huo Changxu was only in his teens, so it was normal for him to have one, but she had been busy before and didn't notice it.

Huo Changxu was a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, go in and tell me, I have some delicious tea, you can try it."

Yan Ruyu followed him into the store and sat down in the rest area. Huo Changxu was busy pouring tea and serving snacks.

It's lemon black tea.

“Where did you buy it from?”

"It's that teahouse. Business is pretty good and there are a lot of people. I asked the waiter to go in and buy it. I heard that this is the latest tea."

Yan Ruyu took a sip and said, "Fortunately, this is the recipe I gave to the boss. I heard it sells well."

Huo Changxu: "..."

"If you like it, you can put some here later, but you can only drink it yourself, don't sell it."

"of course."

Huo Changxu excitedly brought the account book over again: "Sister-in-law, can you take a look at my recent business?"

Yan Ruyu flipped through a book and was a little surprised: "Business is good."

"Indeed," Huo Changxu asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, didn't mother ask you to come here to scold me?"

Yan Ruyu knew that he really misunderstood, so she simply didn't explain and asked, "Then tell me, what did you do when you secretly went to the border?"
