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

Chapter 1769 Lu Peng’s “Bargain”

Yan Ruyu came to see Lu Peng.

Lu Peng was still tied up, sitting on the ground leaning against a pillar. When he saw Yan Ruyu coming, a smile appeared on his face.

It was a strange smile.

Yan Ruyu walked up to him expressionlessly and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lu Peng smiled and said, "Princess, I want to negotiate a condition with you."

"Negotiate terms?" Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly. "That requires bargaining chips. You are a prisoner, what bargaining chips do you have?"

Lu Peng raised his chin: "Let me tell you what I want first."

"I want a good horse, a fine one, and also my knife and my banknotes, and five hundred taels of silver in loose change."

Yinding was listening at the side and laughed briefly: "Have you been beaten into a pulp?"

Lu Peng ignored her and looked directly at Yan Ruyu: "Compared to my bargaining chips, I don't ask for much."

"Princess, do you know what my bargaining chip is?"

He laughed out loud, his attitude extremely arrogant.

Yinding couldn't help but wanted to go up and hit him, but Yan Ruyu waved her hand.

"Tell me, what is your bargaining chip? This princess also wants to know, what is worth so much."

Lu Peng opened and closed his lips: "My Lord."

Yinding was startled, and came up and punched him.

Yan Ruyu didn't stop her this time.

Lu Peng was hit so hard that his face tilted and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

He turned his head and continued to smile: "Add another five hundred taels."

Yinding raised his fist and wanted to fight back, but Lu Peng challenged him: "Come on, fight me. If you kill me, the prince will not be able to survive."

Yan Ruyu asked: "What do you mean? Just tell me clearly."

Lu Peng sighed: "Princess, you are still sensible."

He glanced at the silver ingot and said, "Originally, I didn't have such a big chip. You gave it to me."

"Remember that dagger? It was supposed to hurt you. The prince was injured by me in order to save you."

"I forgot to mention that the dagger... is poisonous."

Yinding's eyes suddenly opened.

"What did you say?"

Lu Peng laughed: "I carefully smeared poison on that dagger, several layers. As long as the skin is scratched a little bit and a little blood is seen, the poison will enter the blood vessels."

Yinding grabbed him by the collar and said, "Say it again!"

Lu Peng smiled even more happily: "I will say it ten times and it will be the same. Otherwise, how can I ask the princess for so many things?"

"I'll give you the antidote once the stuff arrives, how about that?"

Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you serious?"

Lu Peng nodded: "Really, Princess, you might as well do the math. The poison will take effect in five hours at most. Now... it has been more than five hours. It will take at most eight hours for the poison to kill him."

"Princess, time is running out."

Yinding was so anxious that his head was flaming with anger: "Princess!"

Seeing Lu Peng like this, Yan Ruyu knew that what he said was probably true. The dagger was thrown at the scene, and she didn't know if it could be found now.

Thinking back to Huo Changhe's injury just now...

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard, and Beibei's face turned red, full of panic.

"Princess, Prince, he..."

Yan Ruyu turned around and walked out. Lu Peng called out from behind, "Princess, time is running out. Please make a decision soon."

Yan Ruyu did not stop, threw the silver ingot away from Lu Peng, and quickly followed.

What happened to Huo Changhe? Did the poison take effect? ​​What would it be like?

Is it really as Lu Peng said, eight hours?

Yan Ruyu was in a state of confusion.

When she got outside the yard, she saw Huo Changhe standing there, smiling at her.

Yan Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran to his side.

"I'm fine," Huo Changhe hugged her, "I just heard what Lu Peng said, so I took advantage of him."

Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried. She looked at his wound carefully and found nothing unusual.

I took his pulse again and it was normal.

Yan Ruyu was still worried, so she told Yinding, "Go and ask Sun Chuchu to come again."

Doctor Cao is not here, but Sun Chuchu is with Miaomiao and will be here soon.

The silver ingots flew away, and he went to call Sun Chuchu personally.

Huo Changhe hugged Yan Ruyu again: "I'm really fine. How can I lie to you about this? I cherish myself more than anyone else. I have to live a good life with you until we grow old together."

Yan Ruyu's heart warmed up and her eyes became moist: "Then it's settled."

"Of course," Huo Changhe whispered in her ear, "You gave me medicine that can cure all kinds of poisons, as well as red and yellow fruits. There are so many of them that I have long been immune to all kinds of poisons. Have you forgotten?"

"Lu Peng is a traitor, how could he have any serious poison? It's just an ordinary poison. It can't do anything to me."

Yan Ruyu calmed down and thought about it, it was true that she was just worried and confused.

"The reason why I took advantage of the situation is because I thought of something."

Yan Ruyu looked up at him: "What?"

"Do you remember I told you that when I was in Shencheng, I caught a man named Lu Tai, a deputy general beside Xiao Chiye."

Yan Ruyu was surprised: "Lü Tai, Lü? Lü Peng? You mean..."

"Yes, Lu Peng, Lu Tai, not only do they both have the last name Lu, but they also look somewhat similar. When I saw him, I felt that he looked familiar, and then after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was him."

"I just wanted to come and talk to you, and when I heard what he said, I asked Beibei to call you out."

Yan Ruyu held his hand and said, "Do you think that there are people behind Lu Peng who will not be able to hold back and take action if they hear that you have been poisoned?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "Okay."

As they were talking, Sun Chuchu came. He happened to be on the street and saw the silver ingot, so he grabbed it.

The sweat on Sun Chuchu's face had not yet disappeared. He wiped his hands and took Huo Changhe's pulse.

I had heard what Yinding said on the way and knew what was going on, so I checked it very carefully.

He took the patient's pulse, checked the wounds, and looked at the patient's eyes.

Yinding couldn't help but ask: "How is it? What's the situation?"

Sun Chuchu said solemnly: "It's okay, the prince is not poisoned."

Yinding's eyes suddenly turned red, and the breath he had been holding in his chest relaxed.

"I was scared to death. Fortunately, nothing happened. If anything happened to the prince... I would not live either."

The prince blocked the knife for him. If he was really poisoned, he would not be able to forgive himself.

Huo Changhe scolded lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Is your life so worthless? If so, then wouldn't it be in vain for me to save you?"

Yinding pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Yan Ruyu whispered, "Yinding, Beibei, there is something we need to do quickly."

"What's the matter?"

"The prince has been poisoned and is in critical condition."

The two looked at each other, smiled and nodded.

The two of them acted separately, Beibei took care of the house, and Yinding went into the yard to vent his anger on Lu Peng.

When acting, you have to do a complete set.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the hospital and asked him to "recover from his injuries."

As he was walking towards the courtyard, Song Ping came over quickly: "Your Majesty, Princess, Cui Chong is here and said there is news from Governor Cao."

Governor Cao led people to search the Lanxing Pavilion. According to what Yan Ruyu said, they surrounded the front and left an exit at the back.

Of course, that exit was secretly guarded by people arranged by Yan Ruyu.

Just waiting for the person who sees the signal to take the bait.
