Chapter 1997 Don't mess with her
The next morning, Yan Ruyu went to Su Jingzhuo's yard as usual.
The medicine pot gurgled over a low fire, and light brown medicinal vapor curled up from the mouth of the pot.
Yan Ruyu arranged the silver needles in order, and when her fingertips brushed over the ends of the needles, the person on the bed suddenly moved.
Su Jingzhuo's eyelashes trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Brother!" Su Shengsheng rushed to the bedside, his voice filled with joy.
These days, Su Jingzhuo has been awake for longer and longer periods of time.
She reached out to touch it, but was afraid of disturbing anyone, so she froze in mid-air: "You're awake!"
Su Jingzhuo's gaze fell on Yan Ruyu's face. It was no longer the turbid and bloody red of the past, but had a bit of dazed clarity.
He opened his mouth and squeezed out a small sound from his throat, which was not like the beast-like roar he made a few days ago.
Yan Ruyu picked up the thinnest silver needle, placed her fingertips on his wrist, and said softly, "Miss Su, please move aside. I will give you the last few needles."
When the silver needle entered the acupuncture point, Su Jingzhuo just frowned and actually lay there obediently without moving.
Su Shengsheng's eyes reddened as he watched from the side. After Yan Ruyu finished the needle, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Little Doctor, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid... I'm afraid my brother would have died long ago."
She said, her voice choking again: "Thank you!"
"No need," Yan Ruyu took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, a faint smile on her lips, "Let him drink the medicine later, I have to go out for a while."
"Go out?" Su Shengsheng raised his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing across his eyes. "Where are you going? Do you need someone to follow you?"
Yan Ruyu smiled and shook her head, then handed the medicine bowl to the maid: "No need, it's just a personal matter."
Su Shengsheng wanted to ask more, but seeing that Yan Ruyu was still smiling but refused to say anything more, he had to swallow his words.
When Yan Ruyu left the courtyard, she immediately turned to the guards behind her and said, "Follow him and see where he goes and who he meets. Report every move he makes."
The guard took the order and left. Su Shengsheng stood there stroking his cuffs, his brows tightly furrowed.
These days, she could see that although the young doctor's background was unknown, his medical skills were incredibly high. She didn't want to let the young doctor go, so she had to find a way to keep him.
Yan Ruyu had just walked out of Su Jingzhuo's yard when she felt someone following her. Without stopping, she turned into the winding corridor.
When he returned to his yard, Huo Changhe was already waiting there, standing under a tree, his dark blue brocade robe making him look tall and straight.
With the jade pendant around his waist, he looks like a wealthy businessman.
"Su Shengsheng's people?" Huo Changhe asked casually when he saw her come in.
"Yeah." Yan Ruyu took out a small box from the space, which contained disguise cream and powder.
This was given to her by Beibei when she came.
"Let's go back to our original residence in the next two days to visit Beibei and the others."
I haven't seen them for a few days and don't know how they are doing.
The situation in Rongzhou is complicated, so it is better to be cautious.
"it is good."
Huo Changhe answered readily.
He watched Yan Ruyu dip her fingertips in powder and gently apply it on her cheeks. In just a moment, her originally delicate features became calm. She then changed into a green servant's uniform and became Huo Changhe's personal servant.
Huo Changhe looked at her technique, his eyes flickering slightly: "Your disguise skills are almost catching up with Beibei's."
"Beibei, that's a masterpiece of genius. I'm just a trifle skilled in carving insects." Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, tied a purse around her waist, and handed a jade fan to Huo Changhe. "Let's go, master."
Huo Changhe smiled helplessly.
The two men changed their clothes and climbed over the courtyard wall. Two men from the Su family were squatting at the alley entrance and looking around. When they saw two unfamiliar wealthy businessmen coming out, they didn't think about Yan Ruyu at all. They were still staring at the alley entrance, completely unaware that their target had already slipped away from under their noses.
In the Su Mansion, the guard came back breathlessly to report that he had followed Yan Ruyu to the courtyard but did not see her come out. Somehow, she suddenly disappeared.
"Useless!" Su Shengsheng's voice trembled with anger. "How could you lose someone in your own house?"
The guard lowered his head and dared not say a word. Su Shengsheng took a deep breath and turned to go to the study.
In the study, Su Zhenhai was lost in thought as he stared at a picture of a military unit. He heard footsteps and looked up. It was his daughter. Seeing her frown and pout, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Who messed with you again?"
"Dad, the young doctor is missing!" Su Shengsheng walked to the table and told him everything. "I sent someone to follow him, but he got away! How could he have such a trick?"
To her surprise, Su Zhenhai was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and took a sip of his teacup. "Shengsheng, don't be so serious. Don't send anyone to keep an eye on her anymore."
"Dad?" Su Shengsheng was stunned. "Why do you say that? He clearly..."
"He's definitely not an ordinary quack doctor." Su Zhenhai interrupted her, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table. "Can't you see? This young doctor has a complicated relationship with the Prince of Zhennan."
"Prince of Zhennan?" Su Shengsheng took a step back in shock. "Huo Changhe? But how could he be related to a quack doctor? And..."
She suddenly remembered something: "Just now the guard said that he didn't see the prince. Could it be that the two of them went out together?"
Su Zhenhai said nothing, just staring out the window with a frown on his face. He was also puzzled. The Prince of Zhennan had always been a solitary man with a cold and arrogant temperament. Why would he be traveling with a doctor of unknown origin?
There must be some hidden secret that he doesn't know.
However, the fact that Huo Changhe suddenly appeared in Rongzhou and brought the food he needed most was enough to shock and surprise him.
The Prince of Zhennan must act differently from ordinary people. No matter what his intentions are towards the young doctor, no one in the Su family can stop him.
Su Zhenhai nodded: "Listen to your father's words, show respect to the young doctor, instruct the kitchen to be careful and cautious in all aspects, and treat him as you would a prince."
"Dad..." Su Shengsheng was shocked.
"It's right to listen to your father. Right now, the palace must make curing your elder brother the top priority. Outside the palace, matters in the military camp still depend on the prince."
Although Su Shengsheng was spoiled and a little eccentric, he was not a fool. When he heard his father say this, he nodded.
It’s just... there are some other thoughts that are stirring uncontrollably.
At the same time, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were walking slowly near Liu Balang's boat.
At the door of the boat shop on the street, a young clerk was leaning against the door frame bored. When he caught sight of the two men, his eyes suddenly lit up and he hurried inside: "Boss! Boss! The gentleman is here!"
The shopkeeper was counting accounts in the accounting office. When he heard the shouting, he immediately threw down his abacus and ran out.
"Really? Where?"
The waiter pointed outside and said, "It's right at the intersection. I saw it clearly."
The shopkeeper had been looking forward to it for a long time and sent people to look for him on the street, but there was no trace of him.
Don't miss it this time.
He immediately took the waiter with him and headed to the intersection without caring about anything else.
When he saw that it was really Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe, his face was full of smiles.
He greeted him from a distance, "Sir, you're finally here! I've been looking forward to seeing you!"
