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

Chapter 1643 Countermeasures

Yan Ruyu told Huo Changhe the origin of these pages of paper and what Taoist Xuanqing had said.

"And this, this is the secret guard's message record. Before I came to find you, I asked the secret guard to go to Shencheng to find the medicinal herbs vendor and got the message from him."

Huo Changhe tightened his grip on the paper: "The riots in Shencheng, the plague, and the death of the Sixth Prince are enough to shock the government and the public."

Yan Ruyu's expression was equally solemn: "Yes, so we must take precautions as soon as possible."

"Master Xuanqing's words," Huo Changhe hesitated a little, "Yu'er, do you think there is any truth in them?"

Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think what he said is nine out of ten true."

Huo Changhe frowned even more tightly.

Yan Ruyu gently grasped his tense fingers and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much. Everything has not happened yet. We should be able to make preparations now so that we can make it in time."

"At least, about the plague..."

As they were talking, Doctor Cao arrived.

"Your Highness, Princess, you are back? Did your trip go smoothly?" Doctor Cao was also very happy to see them. "What do you want me to do?"

Huo Changhe calmed down and his expression eased a little.

He gave the secret guard's records to Army Doctor Cao: "Take a look and see if you can find any clues from these medicines."

Doctor Cao saw that his face was serious and did not dare to be negligent, so he hurried to examine him carefully.

"These medicines...except for the last two, the others are all commonly used medicines for treating epidemics."

Doctor Cao's expression changed slightly: "What's going on? Where did the epidemic occur?"

"If there is, we need to take precautions in advance. If it really gets serious, these methods will not be enough."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other, and she said thoughtfully, "Doctor Cao, I'll give you a token. Go to the Qian's pharmacy and tell the shopkeeper to check how many of these medicines are in stock and whether they need to be arranged in advance."

"As for the herbs, we'll do as you said. Apart from these, we'll need anything related to the epidemic."

"Have him contact the pharmacy in Shencheng and make arrangements as soon as possible. I'm afraid there are already signs of symptoms outside the city, so we can't be careless."

Doctor Cao naturally knew the seriousness of the matter: "Okay, I understand, I'll do it right away."

"Also," Yan Ruyu warned, "keep it a secret."

"Yes, I know."

Yan Ruyu said to Huo Changhe, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid we need to send someone to go outside the pass."

"Okay," Huo Changhe said without hesitation, "I'll arrange it."

Doctor Cao immediately said, "I will go outside the Great Wall and talk to the Qian family. You can leave the matters here to Sun Chuchu. He is fully capable of handling them."

"The situation at the border is complicated. No one else has been there, so I am the most suitable person to go."

Before Huo Changhe made up his mind, Doctor Cao urged him, "Princess, go get me the token. I will go find the Qian family's shopkeeper right away. The plague is changing rapidly, so there is no time to lose."

Yan Ruyu gave him the token and Doctor Cao left in a hurry.

Huo Changhe sighed softly: "Military Doctor Cao is so old..."

Yan Ruyu comforted him, "He loves medicine, benefits himself and others, and devotes himself to his passion. Isn't this a kind of happiness?"

"Your Highness can send someone to follow and protect him. In addition, I will also let Yinding and the others choose two people to accompany him."

"Furthermore, ask the owner of the drugstore to send two more capable assistants."

Huo Changhe felt relieved: "Okay, let's follow Yu'er's arrangement."

Yan Ruyu pointed at the pages and said, "We have a solution for the plague for now, but I'm afraid that the riot in Shencheng will require the prince to take action personally."

Huo Changhe frowned and was speechless for a moment. Yan Ruyu pulled him into the house and sat him at the table.

"Don't worry, this will take some time to happen. Your Majesty can secretly investigate who is causing the riot."

"Do you want to tell Xiao Chiye?"

After all, Xiao Chiye is now the Grand Commander of Shencheng.

Huo Changhe pondered and said, "Don't be in a hurry. The morale of the army is the most important thing. If we tell Xiao Chiye based on Xuanqing's words, it will inevitably make the army unstable."

"A riot is different from an enemy invasion. It must be the work of our own people. There is no evidence and no signs. We cannot easily investigate and shake the morale of the army."

Yan Ruyu listened and nodded: "Your Majesty is right."

"This matter..." Huo Changhe tapped the table with his fingers. "As Yu'er said, I have to go there in person. I won't feel at ease letting anyone go."

"Then let Beibei go with the prince, but change her identity and don't reveal her true face, so as to prevent someone from harboring evil intentions."

Since it was a riot, and it was done by one of their own people, there is no guarantee that they would not tell others about Huo Changhe's secret departure from Youcheng, or use this as a handle.

Huo Changhe nodded slowly, feeling very heavy-hearted.

No one who holds military power would want this to happen.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much," Yan Ruyu said, "Everything that happens has traces. If we find the source and resolve the matter as soon as possible, we can avoid it."

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "Yu'er is absolutely right."

Yan Ruyu pointed at the last piece of news: "I have some doubts about the Sixth Prince's matter."

"You mean, is this princess real or fake?" Huo Changhe also noticed it, "I find it strange too."

"This princess, we had the Eighth Princess replace the Ninth Princess before. She was a fake, but as Xuanqing said, there was also a marriage in his previous life, and no one asked them to swap. So how could this princess be a fake?"

This was also the question that Yan Ruyu was confused about.

In this life, she came and discovered the clues of the Eighth Princess and the Ninth Princess. She killed the Ninth Princess and let the Eighth Princess impersonate her and asked her to assist the Sixth Prince.

In the previous life, she had not come, so the two princesses should not have switched positions. Although the Ninth Princess was strong and forced the Eighth Princess to pretend to be her for some time, she had to switch back when she arrived in the capital.

Why would people find out that she was fake?

unless……

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe looked at each other and both thought of a possibility.

"That Ninth Princess was fake from the beginning."

Huo Changhe slammed the table hard: "Damn it, Dacheng's intentions are so sinister!"

"The Ninth Princess is a fake, and she brought the Eighth Princess with her. She kept switching princesses along the way. Even if someone noticed, like us, they would only suspect the two of them. But they never thought that the Ninth Princess was also a fake."

"Dacheng used the fake Ninth Princess to go to the capital, and then exposed her at a critical moment, causing internal strife and chaos, or making things even more chaotic for us during the chaos."

Huo Changhe's face was gloomy: "They will take advantage of this opportunity to cause chaos at the border."

"That should be the plan," Yan Ruyu agreed, "Then the question is, where is the real Ninth Princess?"

Yan Ruyu was also feeling a little angry. If she found the real one, she must bring her here!
