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

Chapter 1709: Poison Maker

Huo Changhe and Military Doctor Cao agreed to observe the situation in the city for a few more days and wait for news from the secret guards. If there were no other changes, they could consider returning.

This wait lasts for three days.

The situation in the city quickly stabilized. The common people might not have noticed it, but those in the medicinal materials business felt that the price of medicinal materials had begun to fall again and was no longer as crazy as before.

Huo Changhe came to the small pharmacy and met the small drug dealer he had sponsored before.

Now the small drug dealer is also a small boss, and he was surprised and happy to see Huo Changhe.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Huo Changhe was quite satisfied with him. During this turmoil, he did not follow others in seeking profit and forgetting his principles, raising drug prices, or hoarding goods.

It can be seen that he has good character and I did not misjudge him at the beginning.

"Let's see how your business is going. The situation of drugstores in Shanghai is really strange these days."

The drug dealer quickly poured tea: "Indeed, it is, but it has been better in the past two days."

He took out the account book again and asked Huo Changhe to take a look.

"No need. I'll leave the shop to you. I'm relieved. Just focus on your business. Besides, I have something to entrust to you."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"The market of the medicine business has stabilized at first, and it is unknown whether there will be changes in the future. You should be more careful in this business. If there is any change, send a letter to the Qian Family Medicine Shop immediately."

"Yes, the villain has taken note of it."

Huo Changhe didn't stay for long, took a few packets of medicine and left.

After returning to the inn, he hung a token on the window to send a signal, asking Zhao Liang and the others to go back to Youcheng first.

That night, the secret guard also returned from outside the pass and brought back a person.

"Your Majesty, I have seen General Wen. We have worked together to capture him. General Wen has already gone into hiding."

Huo Changhe nodded and looked at the captured person.

The secret guard recounted the process of arresting people. The situation outside the Great Wall was just as Li Jingyao had described in the letter. It was a horrific sight. The corpses had polluted the water source, and many people had died of the plague.

If the news had not been mentioned before, they would have really thought it was an epidemic. They took the antidote given by Huo Changhe and saved several people, proving that it was indeed a poison.

Coincidentally, they met a group of people being arrested, who were said to be being taken for poison testing, and they rescued them immediately.

He then caught the person who was arresting him.

At the same time, follow the clues to find the person who made the drugs.

The secret guard pointed and said, "That's the man."

"General Wen has also confirmed that this is the person."

Huo Changhe lowered his eyes and looked. Doctor Cao lit two more lights, determined to see what this evil man looked like.

When I took a look under the light, I was stunned and the saying came to my mind: Don't judge a book by its cover.

Judging from his appearance alone, this person doesn't look vicious at all.

He was very young, a little thin, with fair skin, his eyes closed, and long eyelashes. He looked like a weak scholar.

Moreover, he is from the Central Plains and does not look like someone from outside the Great Wall.

This surprised Huo Changhe a little.

The secret guard saw his confusion and explained, "I was also surprised when I first saw him. He is indeed from the Central Plains."

Doctor Cao gritted his teeth and said, "What a waste of such a good-looking body."

Huo Changhe said calmly: "Wake him up."

He was originally knocked unconscious, and after the secret guards used the antidote, he woke up quickly.

His eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

The first person I saw was Huo Changhe, and then the military doctor Cao beside him.

He was obviously stunned for a moment, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he seemed to be about to cry.

Doctor Cao was stunned again. What was going on? How could he cry?

I can't help but touch my face. It's not that scary, right?

Huo Changhe was also puzzled, but he remained calm and didn't say anything, waiting to see the man's reaction.

"Your Highness, Doctor Cao..."

Doctor Cao: “!!??”

Huo Changhe's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The secret guard was also stunned.

I only knew that this person was from Central Plains, but I didn't expect that he also knew the prince and Doctor Cao.

It is not surprising to know the prince. The prince has been in Shencheng for many years and many people recognize him.

But those who know Military Doctor Cao should be those who have a lot of dealings with military camps.

Doctor Cao spent a lot of time in Shencheng, but he seldom went out to hang out, and he rarely stayed in the Governor's Mansion. He spent most of his time in the military camp.

The young man sniffed and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Cao, I am Yao Xiaochen."

Doctor Cao remembered it before Huo Changhe: "You...you are Yao Mengchen's grandson?"

When Yao Mengchen was mentioned, Huo Changhe's deepest memories instantly came flooding back.

Yao Mengchen is also a military doctor. He arrived earlier than Military Doctor Cao and is the oldest. His son died early and his daughter-in-law also retired. He has only a little grandson, and the two depend on each other for survival.

Fortunately, there was no worry about food and drink in the military camp, and Yao Mengchen had no taboos, so he gave his grandson a name similar to his own, Yao Xiaochen.

It's probably genetics, he's just born with that talent. Yao Xiaochen has been interested in medicinal materials since he was a child, but he's not interested in curing diseases, but in making poisons.

Because of this, Yao Mengchen was often angry with him, and Yao Xiaochen was often beaten.

Once, the grandfather and grandson had a quarrel again, and before they could reconcile, the enemy attacked, and Yao Mengchen went to rescue the wounded.

Once gone, never coming back.

Some said he was killed, some said he was abducted, but in any case his body was never found.

Yao Xiaochen regretted it so much and kept crying. Later he left a letter saying that he was going to find his grandfather, but he also disappeared.

After so many years, I didn't expect that our next meeting would be like this.

Doctor Cao and Yao Mengchen have a good relationship. Yao Mengchen is considered a senior and has given him a lot of guidance, for which Doctor Cao is extremely grateful.

After Yao Mengchen got into trouble, Doctor Cao discussed with Huo Changhe about adopting Yao Xiaochen, but Yao Xiaochen later left a letter and ran away.

Huo Changhe sent people to look for it for a long time but couldn't find it.

Doctor Cao was filled with emotion, and he helped him up and said, "Why... why did you, kid,..."

What was he going to say next? Doctor Cao himself didn't know, and all the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

Yao Xiaochen sniffed: "Your Majesty, Doctor Cao, there is something you don't know."

……

Yan Ruyu heard a pheasant crowing twice in the yard early in the morning. This was a rare occurrence, as pheasants usually cherish their voices and seldom crow.

what is it today?

Before she even got up to check, she soon had the answer.

"Oh my, I'm back!"

Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing. Xiaolan came back and looked naughty when she opened her mouth.

She opened the window and the bright sunshine came in. It was a nice day.

The starling saw her and flew over and landed on the windowsill.

"Ruyu, Ruyu, I miss you so much, wait for me to come back~"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

How can this be...

"The princess and the prince are standing under a big tree, kissing and kissing each other! Ruyu Ruyu, I miss you so much."

Linlang and Luhu covered their mouths and laughed, and Yan Ruyu felt a little embarrassed.

"You don't want to eat jerky, do you?"

"Don't do it~ Ruyu~ I miss you too~ Ruyu~"

"like……"

Yan Ruyu was quick to act and pinched its beak.

Xiaolan's small black bean-like eyes turned.

Just then, Yinding walked into the courtyard quickly: "Princess, there's a letter from the prince!"
