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

Chapter 1694 Creating an opportunity for prison escape

Guishou didn't expect that Huo Changhe could call out his name all of a sudden.

He subconsciously clenched his hands and his breathing became shorter.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Huo Changhe sneered: "I should be the one asking you this. The random increase in the price of medicinal herbs in the city should be related to you, right?"

Ghost Hand gritted his teeth and said nothing. Huo Changhe asked again: "When do you plan to let the plague break out?"

The ghost hand glanced at him quickly.

"In order to achieve your goal, you didn't hesitate to kill so many people. Natural disasters can be fought, but man-made disasters should be punished!"

The ghost hand remained silent.

Huo Changhe found his refusal to cooperate ridiculous.

"Want to show your loyalty to Mr. Mo here?"

Guishou was surprised that he even knew Mr. Mo.

He glanced at Jin Ding out of the corner of his eye. Could it be that he was really the Prince of Zhennan's man?

The more this happened, the less he could say it.

Huo Changhe walked to the window and ordered, "Give orders to stop collecting medicinal materials for treating the plague."

He paused and tapped the windowsill with his fingers: "Change to collect the herbs for detoxification."

"Yes."

Ghost Hand’s heart skipped a beat.

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "Tell me, if Mr. Mo knew that you were arrested and then got these two pieces of news, would he think that you betrayed him?"

"I know. It's not a plague at all. It's just poison."

Ghost Hand's face turned pale and he blurted out, "No!"

Huo Changhe's smile faded, his eyes sharp: "Ghost Hand, you should have died in Qingyuan Temple."

"I let you escape then. Do you think you still have a chance to survive today?"

"It is easy to die, but it is hard to live a life worse than death."

There was a flash of fear in the ghost hand's eyes: "Who are you?"

"You'll know sooner or later."

……

Ghost Hand was imprisoned, but not in the inn, but in another place.

Only then did Ghost Hand realize that the inn was just a cover to lure him in and let him let his guard down.

He was not afraid of poison, but Huo Changhe did not ask him to swallow poison and did not use this to threaten him at all.

He still had a glimmer of hope that if he was asked to swallow poison as a threat, he would not be afraid at all.

Following Mr. Mo, I have long been immune to all poisons.

But it didn't happen, and he felt even more disappointed.

It seemed that his opponent knew more about him than he expected.

Huo Changhe certainly knew that a man like Guishou was probably raised in poison. Ordinary poisons would be difficult to work on and would only fuel his arrogance.

However, he had a special treasure - a medicine called sedative given to him by Yan Ruyu.

It's not very poisonous, but Huo Changhe feels that it can be of great use this time.

The ghost hand was completely unaware and took the sedative. Not long after, he fell asleep.

At dawn, Huo Changhe switched back to He You and went to find Xiao Chiye to interrogate Li Qi.

Xiao Chiye asked: "Your Highness, hasn't it been confirmed that the traitor is Constable Liu? Why are you still trying Li Qi?"

Huo Changhe asked: "Do you really think that the traitor is Constable Liu?"

Xiao Chiye was stunned: "Isn't it? But the evidence shows..."

"It's because the evidence shows that it's too complete," Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't you think it's too smooth, too fast, and too complete?"

"It's like someone wants us to think that Constable Liu is the traitor."

Huo Changhe had another reason that he didn't say. He intuitively felt that Constable Liu was so unyielding when he was young, and his eyes were clear. People can change, but they will not become like this.

If I have to give a reason, I can only say it’s the first sight, the first impression.

Xiao Chiye nodded: "Then, Your Majesty, do you want to bring Li Qi in for trial?"

Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "No need. Tell the prison to relax the guards and change the four-man shift to a two-man shift."

"I'll take care of the follow-up. No matter what happens, just go with the flow."

"Yes."

Xiao Chiye did not dare to neglect and followed his arrangements.

It was almost noon, and after the meals were distributed in the prison, the guards became more relaxed and the jailers also had to go eat.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a thick cloud of smoke appeared, and then someone shouted in panic: "Fire!"

The cell was quickly filled with smoke and the prisoners became panicked and shouted for help.

The cells here are smaller, and there is another large cell. It used to be overcrowded, but later Huo Changhe was stationed here. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and no one would think of committing a crime. Gradually, the large cell became vacant and this small one was used.

There were few people, so rescue was not difficult, but a fire always makes people panic and nervous. Some people went in and out, some poured water to put out the fire, some took things, and it was a mess.

After Li Qi was dragged out, he was placed in a corner and asked to wait there.

He saw that there was chaos and chaos everywhere and there were few guards, so no one paid any attention to him and he took the opportunity to escape.

He didn't dare go through the front or back door, but ran directly to a dog hole and crawled out from there.

This was something Chef Li had told him accidentally before.

Help him escape today.

He was so happy that he really escaped. He didn't dare go home, but went around to an alley, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and wrote something on the wall.

After writing, he quietly slipped away.

Behind him, the secret guards followed.

……

Yan Ruyu drew the animal head pattern on the box according to what Li Jingyao said.

She immediately recognized that this was the "Soul-Suppressing Beast" she had seen before.

It had previously appeared in the form of a stone statue, and Lou Tingyu also said that he had seen a living one once.

This is the first time I see it on a wooden box.

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat as she stared at the animal heads on the drawing in a trance.

She felt that there seemed to be some connection between her and the beast.

This beast, and that dream that I had so many times.

Just as I was thinking, I heard Linlang's footsteps.

"Princess, the Qian family's shopkeeper wants to see you."

Yan Ruyu collected her thoughts, put away the painting, and went to the front hall to meet the manager of the Qian family.

The shopkeeper came straight to the point: "Princess, I have a favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this. A few days ago, my boss sent me a letter saying that the weather has warmed up and he wanted me to buy a farm here."

"I also like this one," he said a little embarrassedly, "I heard that the abbot is very good at Feng Shui, so I want the princess to help me. Can you talk to the abbot and ask him to take some time to go with me to take a look? If you can, I will buy it."

Yan Ruyu: “…” When did the abbot learn Feng Shui?

Why is it getting more and more outrageous?

However, she didn't know what to say. Going to see it was no problem, but the abbot really didn't understand feng shui.

"This princess will ask for you, but, shopkeeper, who told you that the abbot can read Feng Shui?"

She smiled and shook her head: "I've never seen him look at it normally."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The abbot is being modest. He said it himself last time at the restaurant."

Well, when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself, and it is also obtained through nonsense.

Since he said it himself, Yan Ruyu couldn't refuse.

"Wait a moment, shopkeeper. I will go and ask for you."

"Thank you, Princess."

Yan Ruyu went to see the abbot, who was resting in the space.

Seeing Yan Ruyu coming, he quickly packed up some fresh fruits and vegetables and left.

"Do you have a problem with me?"
