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

Chapter 1984: The King’s Provocation

Huo Changhe looked at Su Zhenhai calmly with a smile on his face.

Su Zhenhai suddenly froze, his Adam's apple rolled twice, and he gritted his teeth to prevent the scream in his heart from jumping out of his mouth.

It turned out that it was Huo Changhe who fanned the flames and wanted to burn down the military camp!

"I had someone leak it," Huo Changhe said, taking a sip of tea nonchalantly. "He's been beaten, and he's furious, so naturally he won't let it go."

Su Zhenhai couldn't hide his astonishment: "Your Highness, I don't understand. This is a capital crime! Burning the military camp is equivalent to treason. If the court holds us accountable..."

"Whose fault is it?" Huo Changhe asked with a smile, his eyes gleaming like ice. "Liu Balang personally ordered the burning. We have witnesses and evidence. Can you really blame someone else?"

Su Zhenhai's heart was beating like a war drum, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Huo Changhe sneered: "Liu Balang withheld military rations privately, he should have died long ago."

Huo Changhe glanced at him, his voice calm, each word heavy. "Su City Envoy, has serving as the city defense commander worn away your battlefield fervor? Living in seclusion in Rongzhou City, watching the scoundrels run rampant, have you even lost the courage to draw your sword?"

Su Zhenhai's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the scene of the bloody battle that year flashed before his eyes.

He clenched his fists: "Of course not!"

Huo Changhe's eyes were like ice. "If you keep putting up with this, the city defense army will become soft eggs that can be slaughtered at will!"

Su Zhenhai's face flickered in the early morning light, and the blood in his chest suddenly surged.

He took a step forward: "Please give your orders, Your Majesty. I will climb mountains of swords and descend into seas of fire..."

"See blood." Huo Changhe interrupted him, his tone firm, "There's no need to go through fire and water. Let Liu Balang see blood. Let him know that the city defense army is not something he can manipulate at will!"

Su Zhenhai nodded heavily, his eyes widening. "Alright! Then we'll have a falling out! Tomorrow I'll bring people to surround his mansion and see if he dares to act so arrogantly again!"

Huo Changhe finally smiled: "Wei Fu, it's too cheap for him."

At the same time, in Liu Jiulang's study, a celadon teacup fell to the ground with a clang.

Liu Jiulang stood up suddenly, the hem of his brocade robe sweeping across the account books on the table, scattering papers all over the floor. "Is he crazy? Burning down the city defense army's barracks? This is a heinous crime that will wipe out the entire family!"

The confidant standing below shrank his neck and said tremblingly, "Ninth Master, calm down. Eighth Master is also confused by anger. He was beaten by Su Zhenhai yesterday and he feels unwilling to accept it..."

"So we can burn down the barracks?" Liu Jiulang kicked over the small stool at his feet and shouted angrily, "He's really crazy. If he keeps going like this, he'll die sooner or later!"

"But he has a golden medal of immunity from death..."

"How much can a death-immunity medal exempt him from?" Liu Jiulang sneered. "That medal was given by the late emperor, and it can only save his life! But if the court holds him accountable for burning the military camp, can all the three hundred members of the Liu family survive on that medal?"

The subordinate was terrified and turned pale: "Master Jiu, what should we do now? Should we send someone to apologize to the city guards?"

"Apologize?" Liu Jiulang paced irritably, "Liu Balang probably still thinks he's right.

Take someone to investigate first to see if he did it. If it's true, quickly deal with the people involved so you can make preparations early."

The subordinate crawled and rolled over to receive the order, but had just run out of the study when he was carried back by two servants within a short time, with clear marks of a slap on his face.

"Master Jiu, Master Ba... he said that you were meddling in other people's business, and asked me to tell you that if the city defense army dared to cause trouble, he would burn down the entire Rongzhou City!" The subordinate cried, covering his face.

Liu Jiulang's face instantly turned pale. He grabbed the jade ruyi on the table and slammed it to the ground. "Get ready! I'm going to meet this madman myself!"

Huo Changhe sent Su Zhenhai away to mobilize troops, and he hurried to see Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu had just finished her work when she sent Su Shengsheng to the kitchen.

"Yu'er, let's go to the gate of Liu Balang's mansion and watch the fun."

"I'm a doctor now, so it's inconvenient for me to go with you," Yan Ruyu thought for a moment, "You go first, go with Su Zhenhai. I'll leave the house later and see him at a nearby teahouse."

"Alright."

Huo Changhe went ahead. Yan Ruyu finished packing and was walking out of the mansion gate when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind her. Su Shengsheng rushed over, covered in dust.

"Little Doctor, where are we going?"

Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Go to the street to buy some medicinal herbs."

"What herbs do you want to buy? I'll go with you." Su Shengsheng grabbed the prescription from her hand without saying anything, "Let's go, I'm familiar with Rongzhou."

Yan Ruyu did not refuse. When the two of them walked to the street corner, they saw a circle of people outside Liu Balang's mansion from afar.

Su Shengsheng stood on tiptoe to take a look, and suddenly exclaimed, "Aren't those my father's people? What are they doing here?"

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes and saw that the guards in front of the mansion gate all had long swords on their waists and blocked all the exits with serious expressions. The people around them were talking about it.

"What happened? Why did the Sucheng Envoy suddenly send people to surround Liu Balang's residence?"

"Who knows? Maybe Liu Balang has done something wrong."

At this time, inside the mansion, Liu Balang was sitting at the table eating breakfast. He had just finished half of his bowl of porridge when the second housekeeper ran in in a panic: "Eighth Master! Something bad has happened!"

Liu Balang choked: "Can you even talk? It's not good this morning, it's not good, are you cursing me?"

The second steward wiped the sweat from his forehead, quickly apologized, and said quickly: "Su Zhenhai sent people to surround the gate of the mansion!"

The spoon in Liu Balang's hand fell into the bowl with a clang.

He widened his eyes and looked at the housekeeper in disbelief: "What did you say? Su Zhenhai? Is he crazy? He dares to surround my house?"

"It's absolutely true! The guards outside said that they were following the orders of the Su City Envoy and no one was allowed to enter or leave." The second butler said anxiously.

Liu Balang slammed the table and stood up: "He's rebelling! Bring me a rattan chair and carry me out. I want to meet this Su Zhenhai and see what he wants to do!"

"Isn't this too dangerous?" the second butler asked hesitantly.

"Danger? I, Liu Balang, have been in Rongzhou for so many years and have never been afraid of anyone!" Liu Balang snorted coldly, "Let's go."

"By the way, call Sun Qing over. I feel at ease when he's by my side."

"Yes!"

Soon, two servants carried a rattan chair out of the mansion.

Liu Balang sat on the chair and looked up at the head guard who was standing in front of the door: "Call Su Zhenhai out! I have something to say to him!"

The head guard clasped his fists expressionlessly and said, "Master Liu, my city envoy has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave the mansion until the matter is fully investigated. Please return home and wait."

"Find out? What are you looking for?" Liu Balang laughed in anger. "If Su Zhenhai has the guts, he'll come out and tell me. How can he be called a hero if he hides in the background?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice was heard.

"The envoy is here!"
