Chapter 983 Attack
Chapter 983 Attack
Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu back to the city, while Ma Liyu stayed behind to deal with the aftermath.
Huo Changhe asked Yan Ruyu to ride on the same horse as him and wrapped her in his arms with a large cloak.
Yan Ruyu had always been filled with anger before, and when she came here she was busy again and didn't feel cold much. Now in Huo Changhe's warm arms, her body felt stiff with cold.
It was warm and the ice seemed to be melting.
She chatted with Huo Changhe about what happened after arriving at the villa, as well as the property and mineral sand under Jiang Xianyu's yard and in the rockery.
Huo Changhe rode slowly and listened carefully, until her voice gradually weakened and she fell asleep.
Huo Changhe hugged her tighter, sped up a little, and walked straight into the city gate.
It was still early at this time. Although the city gate was open, there were not many people on the street. Huo Changhe did not slow down and quickly reached the door of his house.
He was careful not to wake up Yan Ruyu, and took her back to sleep well. Unexpectedly, before he could get off his horse, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and a horse appeared in front of him like a whirlwind in the blink of an eye.
The person on the horse jumped off the horse before the horse could stop.
"Prince, Princess, help!"
The sound of his voice woke up Yan Ruyu.
Huo Changhe's face immediately darkened.
This person looked unfamiliar. His clothes were a round-necked housekeeper's robe, and there was a waist tag with the character "李" written on it.
Huo Changhe guessed whose family the visitor belonged to.
Yan Ruyu's eyes returned to clarity and she asked, "Who are you?"
"Princess, this villain is the steward of Vice-Cheng Li's family. Your Excellency and Madam ordered this villain to come to the prince and princess for help!"
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and knew it well.
It must be that the poison in Li Cangzhe's body broke out. The Lis were frightened and asked the housekeeper to invite them.
"Your Majesty, Princess, please forgive me," the housekeeper thought that they were being offended and quickly explained, "Your Excellency, you were originally going to come in person, but when you put out the fire last night, you were injured in your legs. It's very inconvenient to move around. Madam also wants to..."
Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, just go ahead and we'll be there later."
Yan Ruyu met Li Mingcheng at the Furong Pavilion fire scene last night and knew that he had been busy all night, so she would not find fault with him just because of this.
When the housekeeper heard that she had agreed, he quickly thanked her, climbed on the horse again, and galloped away.
"I'll go find Miao Miao," Huo Changhe said, "You go back and rest, and leave this matter to me."
Yan Ruyu thought for a while and said, "No need for now, I brought back a lot of things from the manor yesterday, and I also found a box in Madam Rong's room. There are some medicine bottles in it, and there may be an antidote."
Huo Changhe still held her cloak around her, and Yan Ruyu entered the space to find it. Soon, he took out a small bottle.
"That's it. It should be fine. Let's go."
After all, Miaomiao had a special status, and the palace had not been close to the Li family before. There were many people and many eyes, so it was best to avoid letting Miaomiao go.
Yan Ruyu felt that Miao Miao was deliberately concealing his identity, and it was better not to let him appear in others' sight unless absolutely necessary.
When they arrived at Li's house, Mrs. Li came to greet her personally. Her eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried, and her face was full of haggardness.
"Your Majesty, Princess, my son..."
Yan Ruyu walked inside and asked, "When did it happen and how was it?"
Seeing that she was so straightforward, Mrs. Li didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore and said directly: "It started after yesterday's day. In the past few days, he had been out of energy and slept late. He also drank some wine. He thought it was because he didn't eat right and his spleen and stomach were not harmonious. , I didn’t know…”
"When it was almost dawn, the boy saw that he couldn't do anything anymore, so he repaid me. At that time, the master had not returned, so I hurriedly called for a doctor. Before the doctor came, the master was injured and was carried back. And the doctor."
"I asked the doctor to take a look and took some medicine, but not only did I not feel better, my abdominal pain became even worse. I fainted from the pain several times."
Mrs. Li shed tears again as she spoke. During the night, her son and husband were injured and sick.
Yan Ruyu nodded and had already entered the courtyard as she spoke. Before she reached the house, she heard Li Cangzhe's painful screams inside.
The room was in a mess, medicine bowls, saucers and other items were broken on the floor, as well as pillows and a quilt.
The boy knelt beside the bed and held Li Cangzhe's hand tightly to prevent him from hurting himself.
Li Cangzhe was only wearing his middle coat, which was soaked through. His hair was scattered and untied, and was half wet with sweat. A few strands on his forehead were stuck to his face. His face was shockingly white, without any blood at all.
His lips were bitten to pieces and covered in blood spots.
It's really shocking to look at.
Li Cangzhe raised his head with difficulty and looked at Yan Ruyu. His eyes were actually a little blurry, but he could roughly see the outline.
"save……"
Yan Ruyu didn't think about taking Qiao at this time and preaching to others. In Li Cangzhe's situation, he could no longer hear anything.
"My lord, hold him."
Huo Changhe stepped forward, and the boy quickly stepped aside and burst into tears.
"Master, Master..."
Huo Changhe helped Li Cangzhe up and pinched his jaw open. Yan Ruyu stepped forward, poured two pills from the bottle and put them into his mouth.
Huo Changhe pushed it up with his hand, and Li Cangzhe swallowed the medicine without using any water.
Mrs. Li clutched the handkerchief tightly and looked at her son intently with tears in her eyes.
After a while, I saw Li Cangzhe let out a long breath and fell weakly on the bed. His tense body slowly relaxed and his clenched teeth loosened.
Mrs. Li said happily: "Zhe'er? Are you feeling better?"
Li Cangzhe's eyelids trembled slightly, as if he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes, and he let out a soft "hmm" from his nose.
Mrs. Li cried with joy, wiped her tears, and said to Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe: "Your Majesty, Princess, thank you very much! Zhe'er is seriously ill and cannot salute and thank you. Please forgive me, and when he recovers, I will definitely visit you to express my gratitude."
Yan Ruyu waved her hand: "Mrs. Li, let Mr. Li rest and recuperate. There is no rush."
"Thank you, Princess."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Li Cangzhe and said to herself that this time he would be deeply impressed and would never be forgotten.
"Madam, please take a step to speak."
Mrs. Li asked the servant to clean up the messy things and led Yan Ruyu to the outer room.
Just as she was about to order someone to serve tea, Yan Ruyu said, "Madam, there is no need to be busy. I will leave after saying a few words."
Huo Changhe said from the side: "The king and the princess were busy last night and have not entered the house yet."
Mrs. Li blushed: "Yes, the prince and princess have worked hard."
Yan Ruyu glanced at Huo Changhe, with helplessness and a smile flashing in her eyes, and said seriously to Madam Li: "Madam, Mr. Li is not sick, so the doctor's medicine will not work on him."
Mrs. Li was stunned. She was confused by her concern just now. She didn't expect that looking back now, Yan Ruyu directly gave her medicine as soon as she came in, without even checking her pulse.
This can only mean one thing, that is, Yan Ruyu knows what happened to her son.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li thought again: "Princess, what's wrong with my son? If it's not a disease, what is that?"
Yan Ruyu sighed softly: "Mrs. Li, do you still remember that I asked you last time when I came here that Mr. Li is very important to them, in order to hold him and threaten Ambassador Li Cheng."
"In this case, besides the weak relationship between men and women, what else can be used to control Mr. Li?"
Mrs. Li remembered that Yan Ruyu had indeed asked this. She glanced at the back room and thought about her son's life and death situation for half the night. She suddenly understood and her face turned pale as a sheet.
"Princess, you mean..."
