Chapter 1602: Rapid March
The next person Yan Ruyu was going to meet was Song Ping.
"The safety of the mansion is in your hands," Yan Ruyu said earnestly, "It shouldn't be anything serious. If there is, you can ask for help from Governor Cao and Envoy Li. They will definitely not stand idly by."
"Don't worry, Princess. Song Ping will do his best to protect the palace."
"The prince and I are both confident that you can handle the matter," Yan Ruyu nodded. "In addition, it is the matter of the second young master."
Song Ping immediately understood, and Yan Ruyu instructed: "I will go to the second young master's store later and make things clear with him. You still send people to protect him secretly. If Yu Qingyue does anything wrong, arrest her immediately and put her in the governor's mansion first. Wait until the prince and I come back."
"Yes, please keep this in mind."
I originally thought of taking it slow and taking it slow, but now I don’t have time and I can’t rest assured that Yan Ruyu will be safe, so I had to expose it.
Go back to the yard and call the boss, and let Linlang go to the eldest lady's yard.
Linlang was reluctant at first, but Yan Ruyu described her as a peerless heroine and the eldest lady couldn't live without her.
Linlang was dizzy and went to the eldest lady's courtyard happily. On the way, she met Beibei and the other two. Yan Ruyu gave them some more instructions.
The three of them immediately said that they would pay close attention to the area around the palace and would not give anyone with ill intentions any opportunity to take advantage.
Yan Ruyu took Jiang Paopao and went to Doctor Cao's shop first.
Feng Shao was still here, but Yan Ruyu hadn't seen him. She instructed Doctor Cao to ask Miao Miao to cure Feng Shao, and to ask him to come back to the house often to visit and help if anyone was sick.
Cao Jun knew there was nothing to say, so he told Yan Ruyu that the matter of the bee whistle was not serious, and Yan Ruyu felt reassured.
Then there is Huo Changxu.
When Yan Ruyu came to his shop, he was busy moving papers and keeping count. When he saw Yan Ruyu coming, he changed his clothes and hurried forward to greet her.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing..."
"I'm going out to see your elder brother," Yan Ruyu said, "Come in, I have something to tell you."
He pointed to the paper that had just arrived and asked, "Is there any that Yu Qingyue just made?"
"Have."
"Bring in some of each."
Huo Changxu brought the papers into the room and placed them on the table. Yan Ruyu looked at and touched each one carefully.
No warning in space.
Seeing her so serious, Huo Changxu was a little confused and a little nervous.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, let me check if the papers are poisonous."
Huo Changxu opened his eyes slightly and was stunned for a moment: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean..."
"Sit down and listen to me."
Yan Ruyu told him everything about Yu Qingyue, as well as the information Yinding had found and the voice in the recorder.
Huo Changxu was shocked again and again. He had no idea that there was such a complicated process behind this matter. He was protected and cared for by so many people, but he knew nothing about it and thought he had picked up a huge bargain.
His face turned red with embarrassment.
"Sister-in-law, I..."
Yan Ruyu shook her head and smiled: "Don't belittle yourself. I know what you are going to say. It's not your fault. She prepared carefully and came for you. If it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to tell."
"My advice is that you should continue to have normal interactions with her. However, you need to carefully examine her paper. You can ask Army Doctor Cao for help. After he checks that it is non-toxic, you can give it to her."
"Changxu, it's easy to catch her right away, but I think this is also an opportunity for growth and training. Perhaps, you can try to see if you can put on a good show with her, and watch her use all her tricks in front of you."
Huo Changxu's eyes gradually lit up: "Okay, I'm willing to try."
He was a smart man, so Yan Ruyu stopped talking and didn't say any more.
There is no time to lose, we must find Huo Changhe as soon as possible.
Huo Changxu sent her to the door of her store and said, "Sister-in-law, please be careful. I will greet mother every day. Please rest assured, brother and sister-in-law."
Yan Ruyu was very pleased, nodded, mounted her horse and left.
Huo Changhe rode faster.
His horse was the one that had accompanied him to the battlefield and returned to the capital, and the one he had been riding since Yan Ruyu recognized him on the way to exile.
After more than half a day, I had already run hundreds of miles, but I still felt it was not fast enough.
Xiang Guang and Ma Liyu followed closely.
Xiang Guang was originally his soldier and had long been accustomed to the job. He did not feel it was hard at all and instead recalled the old days.
Ma Liyu was extremely anxious. The Sima family in front were all his relatives. When Huo Changhe came to the manor to find them and explained the situation, he was stunned.
From the time I set out until now, I haven't felt settled.
I wish I could fly to Sima’s family immediately.
When they arrived near Shencheng, Huo Changhe met Fang and asked them to follow him secretly and not show up unless it was absolutely necessary.
Huo Changhe thought that as long as he could wait in time and let the Sima family wait for him safely, he would not be afraid of any danger that might happen after they reunited.
The only thing we have to fight for now is time.
Therefore, whether it was noon or evening, they would eat a few bites of dry food, let the horses rest for a while, eat grass and drink water, and then set off again.
Everyone had a tacit understanding. Whether it was their loyalty to Huo Changhe or their affection for Ma Liyu, they had no complaints or grumbles.
After walking for more than an hour at night, Huo Changhe saw that everyone looked tired and ordered them to dismount and rest.
They had no horses to replace, and even if the humans could bear it, the horses needed a rest.
Besides, we don’t know how many more days it will take, so we can’t tire ourselves out and the horses right at the beginning.
When they rested in place, they all carried a small bag, which was a small pillow. The blanket inside could be pulled out and used as a cover or to lean on.
There is also a neck pillow. You can lean on a tree or a rock to keep your neck from getting tired. It’s a great way to relax.
There were also some dry food, curved noodles, fragrant dried meat, and some sweet red and yellow fruits.
One for each person.
These were all given by the princess.
Everyone chatted in low voices for a few words, then calmed down and had a good rest.
Huo Changhe glanced at Ma Liyu and sat down next to him.
"Your Majesty."
"Don't worry too much. We found out not too late. Besides, we are much faster than them. We should be able to catch up soon."
Ma Liyu nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty hadn't heard the news and made a prompt decision, I'm afraid..."
I'm afraid I'll only receive bad news by then.
Ma Liyu was very touched that they could mobilize troops immediately and set off at the first opportunity.
"No need to say such things. Everyone will be safe. The Sima family has made great contributions to the court and has suffered injustice for many years. It is unfortunate that they have received such bad retribution after all the hardship they have endured."
Ma Liyu's eyes turned red and his throat felt a little blocked.
Huo Changhe patted him on the shoulder: "Have a good rest, don't let your mind wander. If you have a good rest, you will have energy and strength tomorrow."
"Yes."
The resting place quickly fell into silence.
Not long after, two dark shadows approached quietly, and the cloth rubbed gently, making a rustling sound.
Huo Changhe opened his eyes immediately.
Many people also woke up.
But no one moved, with their eyes slightly closed, waiting for the two men to approach.
