Chapter 1661 Asking for it
Cai Jili opened the window, but unexpectedly the person he saw was Huo Changhe.
He was surprised and happy, and his heart finally settled down.
Huo Changhe is like a backbone. When he arrives, everything becomes stable.
"Madam, hurry up, it's the prince."
Cai Jili put on his outer robe and went to the outer room to open the door for Huo Changhe. Miss Cao quickly put on her clothes and came out to meet Huo Changhe.
Huo Changhe nodded: "I have seen Feng Shao and know that it was Miss Cao who saved Army Doctor Cao. I am very grateful."
Miss Cao bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Your Highness and Princess have saved me countless times. It is my duty to do something for you."
"Your Highness, please come this way. We will take you to see Doctor Cao."
In just a few days, Doctor Cao looked much more haggard, with bloodshot eyes.
Seeing Huo Changhe, Doctor Cao felt sad: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you."
Huo Changhe supported him and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. I know everything. I'm lucky that you're okay."
"But, Mu Wu..."
"I will find his body," Huo Changhe said.
"Your Majesty, I have contacted Commander Xiao. Brother Mu Wu's body is with him."
Feng Shao didn't know about this, he didn't say anything, and Huo Changhe didn't know either.
Cai Jili took over the conversation and told everything about how he and Miss Cao went to the Dutong Mansion and met Xiao Chiye.
Huo Changhe listened carefully and said, "So, Chi Ye also thinks there is a traitor around him?"
"The Grand Commander said that we need to check carefully and not alert the enemy first," Cai Jili said, "Your Highness, do you want to go see Commander Xiao?"
Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being. He is in the light and I am in the dark, so it is more convenient for us to act."
Doctor Cao wiped his tears and said, "Your Majesty, this plague is by no means simple. You must not be careless."
If it is a plague, we should do our best to control it, but if someone does it deliberately, it will be more troublesome.
Not only do we have to control the epidemic, but we also have to fight the people behind the scenes.
Huo Changhe's eyes were slightly stern: "I have already guessed it when I saw Su Wen's wound. Feng Shao also said that those who committed the crime are not ordinary people."
"Yes, Your Majesty. Commander Xiao showed us the corpses. Except for Mu Wu's corpse, the rest of the corpses looked like they had been dead for a long time. But they..."
Huo Changhe nodded slowly, and Doctor Cao quickly asked, "How is Su Wen? How is his wound? Do you want me to take a look?"
"Not for now," Huo Changhe sighed, "Fortunately, there is the medicine prepared by Yu'er. It has been treated for Su Wen. The wound has turned red, so it should be fine."
"If you have any questions, I'll come find you."
When Doctor Cao heard this, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "My Lord, since you are here, please take me away."
"I'm not injured, so it's not a good idea for me to stay here forever. I didn't come to Shencheng to be a coward. I must avenge my brother Mu Wu!"
Huo Changhe patted him on the shoulder and said, "You will have a share of revenge, but not now. You stay here for two days. I will call you after I have sorted out the situation outside."
After that, he turned to Cai Jili and Miss Cao and said, "Thank you both for your help."
"Your Highness, that's not right. Military Doctor Cao is here with us, so just rest assured."
Huo Changhe urged: "Rest well and keep your spirits up. Your time to make great contributions is yet to come."
Doctor Cao gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay!"
……
Yan Ruyu was invited by Governor Cao and the envoy Li to try out the repaired road.
To make it official, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe must be invited to witness it.
When they came to invite him, they found out that Huo Changhe was not in the mansion.
Governor Cao rolled his eyes and found an opportunity to ask quietly, "Princess, is there anything I can do for you?"
Yan Ruyu sighed that Governor Cao was quite perceptive and thanked him sincerely, "No need, sir, don't worry, if there is anything you need, I will definitely not hesitate to help you."
Governor Cao smiled and said, "That's good. I will be at your service at any time."
"Please ask the abbot to come along when the time comes."
Yan Ruyu nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will definitely be there."
After seeing the two off, Yan Ruyu was about to go find the abbot when Song Ping hurried in.
"Princess, the owner of the Qian family's medicine shop wants to see you."
Yan Ruyu's eyebrows jumped: "Please come in."
Soon, the shopkeeper came over quickly without even having time to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Princess, there's a letter from Shencheng."
His face didn't look good and his fingers were trembling slightly. Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling.
She took the letter and read it quickly, and her heart suddenly tightened.
The letter said that the epidemic had already appeared in Shanghai and was spreading rapidly, with hundreds of people falling ill in just one day.
There was a serious shortage of medicinal herbs in the city, so he was asked to find a way to send some over.
"Princess, I will remember your instructions and report to you immediately if I have any news about this. Now, what do you think we should do?"
Yan Ruyu held the letter in her hand, not saying anything for a moment, thinking quickly in her mind.
I just received a letter from Huo Changhe, which did not mention the epidemic. How could it have developed so quickly?
If it is really an epidemic and it develops so quickly, it must be a major epidemic.
Yan Ruyu read the letter over and over again while thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed.
"Boss, who sent this letter?"
The letter had an envelope, so it was obviously not sent by carrier pigeon. It must have been delivered by someone.
"He's a clerk," the shopkeeper said truthfully, "and he just started working in the shop two months ago."
"Are you familiar with him?"
"No, I haven't seen the new guys yet. Princess, you don't know that Manager Liang is the general manager of Shencheng. He is kind and often brings new guys out for training. The guys he trains will be entrusted with important tasks after they return."
Yan Ruyu understood that it was like a training base, so people came and went frequently, and the shopkeeper in Youcheng didn’t know much about it.
"However, this letter is indeed written by Shopkeeper Liang. I recognize his handwriting." The shopkeeper pointed to the last big seal on the letter and said, "Princess, look here. This seal is real."
The shopkeeper was also a smart man, and naturally knew what Yan Ruyu was worried about.
Yan Ruyu said to Song Ping, "Bring a basin of clean water."
Song Ping took the order and quickly fetched some clean water.
Yan Ruyu spread the letter flat on the water. The shopkeeper didn't understand what was going on and stood up to take a look.
Soon, many small square pieces of paper floated on the water, and the piece of letter paper became clean and white.
The shopkeeper's eyes widened: "This! This..."
Song Ping's face suddenly changed: "The letter is fake, where is the person who sent it now?"
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and said, "They should be in the backyard of the medicine shop. I'll ask them to count and pack the herbs and come quietly to report to the princess."
Yan Ruyu wiped her hands and looked at the basin full of shredded paper: "Just do it quietly, let them pretend."
"Boss, go back first and pretend nothing happened."
"well."
"Song Ping, go and notify the main city gate and seal it. Tell them that the passage ceremony will begin soon and that passage is temporarily closed."
"Yes."
Yan Ruyu's eyes were stern. Great, he was just bored and impatient, so he came to me on his own accord.
