Chapter 1771 The beginning
Chapter 1771 The beginning
Huo Changhe felt like there was a thick layer of something on his face, making it difficult for him to make any facial expressions.
"What is this?" As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he realized that he was not speaking clearly.
Yan Ruyu quickly stopped him: "Don't talk, Your Majesty. This thing can turn your face into the color of gold paper, which is closest to the color of poisoning."
Huo Changhe nodded and said, "Okay, Yu'er says whatever she wants."
He blinked and Yan Ruyu looked at him carefully.
"Your Highness, do you want to say, thank you for your hard work?"
Huo Changhe nodded.
"It's okay, it's nothing. Just lie down for a few days. You've had a hard time in Shencheng these days and haven't had a good rest yet. This is a good opportunity to take a good rest."
Huo Changhe held her hand.
"Your Highness, are you saying that I haven't had a rest either?"
Huo Changhe nodded again and blinked.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Your Highness is saying that since I'm working so hard, you should give me all the property under your name."
Huo Changhe nodded without hesitation and was about to say something, but Yan Ruyu pinched his lips.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. What property do you have under your name now?"
Huo Changhe thought about it and realized that it was really nothing. Not long after arriving in Youcheng, he gave everything to Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu whispered, "I have to go and interrogate Wu Peng and negotiate terms with him. You can rest here. I will take you to the space to talk when we go to bed at night."
Huo Changhe nodded.
"I'll leave Jin Ding to you. The eldest master is also in the courtyard. You can go to them if you have any problems. Sun Chuchu is your attending physician and will come to see you from time to time. I'll take the others away."
Yan Ruyu took Linlang and Luhu away, and the yard, which was usually full of laughter, suddenly became quiet.
The yard became quiet, and there was a sense of melancholy.
Huo Changhe was lying alone in the room, surrounded by silence. He suddenly felt that if Yan Ruyu really disappeared and left his world, he would not be able to accept it.
The bustling world suddenly became so quiet, as if everything had lost its direction, leaving him alone here.
I feel inexplicably sad.
Yan Ruyu had no idea what he was thinking. She took Linlang and Luhu out of the hospital and whispered instructions to them.
"Linlang, the prince has not been feeling well these days and needs to rest in the courtyard. The eldest lady doesn't know about it yet. You and Luhu should move to the eldest lady's place first. Make her happy and observe her situation secretly. If she finds out, report to me immediately."
Linlang was startled: "Master, is the prince serious?"
"It doesn't matter. As long as I'm here, the prince will be fine."
Linlang was relieved: "Okay, I'll listen to the master."
Luhu also nodded repeatedly. She was Linlang's little follower.
Qi Dongqiang and Jiang Tangli had gone to purchase new tea with Jiang Ruhuan two days ago after Huo Changhe returned safely, and they were accompanied by Jiang Yanmu and other members of the Jiang family.
Li Jingyao and Major General Wen have also gone to Shencheng again to investigate secretly.
Yan Ruyu had already figured out that the only people in the palace this time would be her own family members and the few people she had captured.
That's it.
This grand event can now begin.
Yan Ruyu calmed down, quickened her pace, and ran to the yard where Lu Peng was imprisoned with an anxious aura.
Lu Peng had been beaten several times by Yinding, and his body was covered with wounds and his face was swollen.
Yan Ruyu walked up to him, he looked up and grinned.
"Princess, now you can be sure that I didn't lie, right?"
Yan Ruyu pulled out her hairpin and stabbed him on the shoulder.
Wu Peng clenched his teeth, said nothing, and looked straight at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu did not stop, but continued to poke the hairpin inside and stir it vigorously.
Huo Changhe’s “serious injury” was fake, but Yan Ruyu’s anger was real.
If not for Huo Changhe, he would have been immune to all poisons long ago. If not for her space with red fruits in it, if not for her being cautious in this regard and often letting Huo Changhe eat...
Then today, it is really possible for Wu Peng to succeed.
Fortunately, all these were good results that Yan Ruyu had obtained herself.
Wu Peng couldn't bear it after all and groaned in pain.
Yan Ruyu sneered and wiped the blood off her hands with a handkerchief.
"Tell me, what is the antidote?"
Wu Peng's forehead was covered with sweat, and he managed to hold back a smile: "Princess, you don't think that you can get me to tell you the antidote just like this, right? That's what I need to save my life."
"Save your life. Do you think you will still be alive if something happens to the prince?"
Wu Peng's smile deepened, and he frowned: "Princess, as long as you agree to my conditions, we can...none of us have to die, and we can live in peace. Isn't that great?"
"Everything is fine?" Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows. "You caused us so much trouble and hurt the prince. The prince suffered so much, and you just let it go with a simple "everything is fine"?"
Wu Peng's smile froze. "What do you think, Princess? I remind you that the poison is very strong. The longer you delay, the more suffering the prince will suffer and the greater the danger will be."
"I know that I have hurt the prince and the princess is unhappy. I am willing to offer the antidote to show my sincerity. However, I also want to stay alive. Please bear with me, princess."
"Speaking of which, I am also a worthless life, and cannot be compared with the prince, but things have come to this point, and the prince is already connected to my life, so please bear with some grievances, and take care of the prince's life and death first."
He spoke nicely, but in a very threatening way.
Yinding cursed and came up to punch him twice.
Lu Peng's face was pale, but he still had a smile on his face: "You can beat me to vent your anger, but if I really die, then... the prince will have to die with me. Princess, think twice."
Yan Ruyu's eyes were cold and sharp, and there was a rage like thunder in her eyes.
Since I came here, I have never been threatened like this.
Yan Ruyu took a step forward, and Lu Peng's smile did not diminish.
"This princess can promise to let you go."
Lu Peng coughed twice and said, "Just letting me go won't work. Princess, you have to give me what I want as well."
"Don't take those banknotes. Ill-gotten gains are prone to bring disaster. If you weren't greedy for that little bit of money, you wouldn't have been arrested."
Lu Peng's smile froze slightly. Talking about this matter, he did regret it. It was all because of that bitch Erya. If it weren't for her, he would have left long ago. How could he have ended up in this situation?
However, if he doesn't bring the money back and his place is exposed, how will he explain himself when he returns?
If you can't explain, you will still be punished and you can't escape death.
Lu Peng thought again and again: "Half, give me half. In addition, I want that woman Erya."
When Yan Ruyu saw his reaction, she knew there was someone behind him.
The purpose of asking for those banknotes is to give them back to my superiors.
Sure enough, the bet was right.
Yan Ruyu sneered: "Why, at this time, you are still thinking about money and beauties?"
Disgust flashed in Lu Peng's eyes: "As a man, this is the only hobby you have."
Yan Ruyu pulled out the hairpin from his shoulder, and Lu Peng gritted his teeth again in pain.
"This princess will consider it, but whether to agree or not will be discussed later."
She turned and left.
