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

Chapter 1655: Meeting in Disguise

When Miss Cao returned home, she met her father-in-law Cai Zhonghe on duty.

He is the Sima of Shencheng, a position that is not too high but not low either. He is a tough guy and does things meticulously. Although he is disliked by many people, it is really hard to find fault with him.

"Father," Miss Cao saluted.

Cai Zhonghe is always cold and stern to others, but he can still smile to his daughter-in-law, especially after the birth of his grandson.

"Where have you been? It's so early in the morning. How did Xiaobao sleep last night?"

"Very good. Little Baoer can't speak yet, but when he can speak, he will definitely say grandfather first."

Cai Zhonghe stroked his beard and said: "We should teach him to talk about his parents first."

“To know the kindness of one’s parents is to be filial.”

"No, you are a role model in our family. Your daughter-in-law will teach the child well, respect you, and always remember your teachings."

Cai Zhonghe couldn't hide the smile in his eyes and was very satisfied.

"By the way, father, the tea shop has some new tea today. I wonder if you can see the Grand Commander?"

Cai Zhonghe never interferes in Miss Cao's business affairs and usually doesn't ask much, but he was in a good mood today and was complimented for a long time just now.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "We should be able to see him. He will return to the city from the military camp today. According to past practice, he will go to the government office first."

Miss Cao knew what was going on: "Okay, thank you, father. Take care."

She didn't make any other requests, let alone ask Cai Zhonghe to patronize the business.

Cai Zhonghe was very satisfied.

As soon as he left, Miss Cao immediately returned home, changed into men's clothes, and hurried out.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I met my husband Cai Jili.

He was startled at first, wondering why a man came out of the lady's yard. He took a closer look and quickly grabbed him.

"Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?"

"Go find General Xiao and tell him something important."

Cai Jili thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

"Didn't we agree that..."

"Looking at you now, I know that things are not that simple. Since it is complicated and difficult, how can I stand by and watch? You and I are husband and wife, and we should advance and retreat together."

"Let's go, Madam, you forgot that I just got promoted and now I have the authority to confront the Grand Governor."

After the New Year, Cai Jili was also promoted and had a bright future. Xiao Chiye also thought highly of him.

Miss Cao was touched: "Husband, thank you very much."

Cai Jili held her hand and said, "You and I are husband and wife, so why should we say thank you? If we have to thank you, I should thank you more. Madam has treated me with deep affection and even gave birth to a child for me. I should do whatever I can."

Miss Cao thought to herself that if a husband and wife work together, nothing is impossible. It is a rare opportunity to serve the princess, and this time, she must do her best.

Xiao Chiye's eyelids have been twitching these days in the military camp. He should have returned to the city tomorrow, but he was always uneasy, so he came back early.

Go to the government office first to check and handle affairs, and then inquire in detail to see if anything has happened.

As soon as I returned to the city, I felt something was wrong.

Some people were in a hurry, heading west, while others gathered in twos and threes, whispering to each other.

He hurried back to the yamen and asked what had happened.

This question revealed the clue.

The unusual things in Medicine Street and the loss of life all made him feel abnormal.

"Where's the corpse?"

"To the governor," the officer replied, "there are three bodies in total, and they are in the morgue. The others ..."

Xiao Chiye frowned: "Others? How do you say it?"

"The others are all...gone. We don't know if they are human or ghosts. Eyewitnesses said they looked like dead people, but most of them ran away."

Xiao Chiye was puzzled: "Listen to what you are saying? The dead person ran away?"

Officer: “…” It sounds ridiculous, but it is true.

He didn't want to say it, but it was true.

"Lead the way, I'll go take a look."

Xiao Chiye believed that seeing is believing.

Just as I was about to go and see, someone came in and reported that Cai Jili wanted to see me.

Xiao Chiye is now upset and wants to meet again later.

"General, Lord Cai said that he has something important to report to you, which is related to the medicine store."

Xiao Chiye's mind immediately moved: "Please come in."

He didn't go to the morgue again, but went straight to the front hall.

Cai Jili came with Miss Cao. When he saw Xiao Chiye looking dusty and without even changing his clothes, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"Thank you for your hard work, Grand Commander. I have something important to report."

Xiao Chiye waved his hand: "It's okay, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Cai Jili looked around, and Xiao Chiye asked everyone else to leave.

Miss Cao stepped forward and saluted: "Grand Commander."

Xiao Chiye was slightly surprised. He looked at her carefully before recognizing her: "Mrs. Cai? Why is it you? Why are you…"

Miss Cao held the handwritten letter written by Doctor Cao in both hands: "General, please take a look at this. This is from Doctor Cao."

Xiao Chiye was also very familiar with Army Doctor Cao's handwriting, and could tell at a glance that it was indeed written by him.

I quickly opened it and took a closer look, and stood up in shock before I finished reading.

"How could such a thing happen? Where are the others?"

"I want to see him right now!"

……

Yan Ruyu arrived at the eldest lady's courtyard early in the morning and told her that Huo Changhe had left the palace for Shencheng.

The eldest lady was shocked when she heard this: "Why did it happen so suddenly? I don't know if those children are in danger."

Along the way, the eldest lady had already regarded Feng Shao, Song Ping and the others as children, all of whom were almost the same age as her own sons.

"I hope they are all safe and sound. No, I have to chant sutras and eat vegetarian food for them until they come back."

Yan Ruyu did not stop her. It was a good thing for her to have something to do and feel at ease.

"Don't worry too much. The prince knows Shencheng very well. Once he goes there, he will definitely be able to solve the problem."

"Chang He, ah, this child has a miserable life. He came to Shencheng at such a young age. Young men of the same age are enjoying a good life in the capital, but he came to Shencheng and suffered from the cold and the wind."

"But it didn't end well. The emperor..." The first lady paused again and whispered through gritted teeth, "How foolish! It's pitiful for our family. We can't even live in peace here, and we have to take care of these things."

"But if you say that we don't care, it won't work. The people will still be the ones who suffer. What have they done to offend anyone?"

"It's all fate."

The eldest lady expressed her feelings, and Yan Ruyu was just wondering how to persuade her when someone came from outside to report that Princess Mingzhao had arrived.

Princess Mingzhao changed into a tight outfit and brought Mu Chen and Luhu, who was carrying a bag. Luhu's eyes were red, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

"Madam, Princess, without further ado, I also want to go to Shencheng. It was a place I defended with my life, and I will never let the traitors succeed."

"It's just that I can't bring Lu Hu with me this time. Please take her in for a few days."

The eldest lady looked at Yan Ruyu and was still a little worried. Changhe had gone, and Princess Mingzhao was about to go too. Would Ruyu...

Yan Ruyu nodded happily: "No problem, Lu Hu will stay in the palace, Princess, just rest assured."

"It's just you and Mu Chen, just the two of you..."

Princess Mingzhao said: "Don't worry, Mu Chen is quite skilled, and I have also recovered quite well. If we work together, we will be fine."

"Besides, we are also operating in secret and will not show up."

As they were talking, Qi Dongqiang and Jiang Tangli also arrived.

When they saw Princess Mingzhao's attire, their eyes lit up.
