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

Chapter 1550 The Secret in the Greenhouse

Yinding had just returned from Wujiazhuang. After everything there was settled, he set out on his return journey.

"Princess, what are your orders?"

Yan Ruyu gave him five luminous vests and a telescope.

Yinding's eyes widened: "For... for me?"

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Each of you will get a vest. This vest can be seen at night and it glows. Use it according to the situation."

Silver ingots have a special identity after all, so when performing tasks at night, they often need to hide their bodies.

However, this dress is rare and I can’t let go of the silver ingot.

"Princess, these clothes arrived just in time. Song Ping told us two days ago that if we have nothing to do at night, we can go to Xicheng to help. Governor Cao asked Cui Chong to recruit a lot of people."

"We are also discussing whether we can go over to help, firstly to understand the progress, and secondly to help manage public security and minimize the occurrence of various incidents."

"This dress is perfect for evening wear."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "You guys discuss and arrange it. In addition, there is one more thing that you need to do immediately."

"Please give your orders, Princess."

"Go immediately and fetch the abbot from the manor. Make the carriage more comfortable. The abbot is feeling a little unwell."

The smile on Yindingyuan's face froze: "The abbot is ill? Should we ask Doctor Cao to go with us?"

"No need, just take him back to the palace."

"Yes."

Yinding originally wanted to ask how to use the telescope. This thing should have many functions, not just seeing far away, but when he heard that the abbot was unwell, he lost interest.

Hurry out and prepare the carriage, call the brothers, and set off together.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage was ready, with a soft quilt laid out inside, a large pillow, some snacks and tea, and a few small hand warmers.

Although it is not so cold now, they feel that the abbot is a patient and needs it.

Soon, several people wearing luminous vests came out of the city and headed straight for the village.

As soon as they left, Huo Changhe also returned home.

Seeing that Yan Ruyu looked a little strange, he asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Yan Ruyu did not hide it: "The abbot is not feeling well, I asked Yinding and the others to pick him up."

"Not feeling well? Is he tired? He's old, so we should take better care of him. Let him have a good rest in the mansion this time, and don't keep an eye on the manor."

Huo Changhe comforted him softly, "It'll be fine, don't worry. What herbs do you need? I'll send someone to prepare them."

Yan Ruyu shook her head: "I haven't seen the person yet, so I don't know the specific situation."

Huo Changhe embraced her and said, "The abbot is a very lucky person. He has always done good deeds and planted good seeds. I don't know how many people he has saved and accumulated countless merits. He will be fine."

Yan Ruyu couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty is right."

She changed the subject: "How is the situation at Yunzhong Temple? Any news?"

"I was just about to tell you that they are back, and the temple master agreed to meet them."

“Plus, they brought back some stuff.”

Huo Changhe placed the things that the secret guards had brought back from the Taoist temple's greenhouse on the table one by one.

He told everything the secret guard said and did in the Taoist temple, as well as what he heard and saw.

Yan Ruyu was a little surprised after hearing this and picked up a herb: "They actually built a greenhouse to grow these things?"

"Exactly. According to the secret guards, there are three types in total. The samples are all here."

"The young Taoist priest we captured often went to Shencheng. It was said that he went to find merchants who bought these things and sold them to them."

"This is the secret guard who deliberately caused the topic to arise, so that they could quarrel and curse at each other. We can ask the temple master for the specific situation tomorrow."

When you're arguing and swearing at each other, what you say is the most true.

Yan Ruyu smelled the scent of these things and said, "They look like medicinal herbs."

She was not particularly good at Chinese medicine, especially since there were tens of millions of herbs, and any change in the proportions would cause the efficacy of the entire prescription to change.

"Shall I call Doctor Cao?"

"it is good."

Military Doctor Cao was at Huo Zhongmao's house at this time. Huo Zhongmao was in good physical condition. He often drank water soaked with dried fruits sent by Yan Ruyu, and often ate vegetables, fruits and melons sent by the abbot. His physical condition had long been well maintained.

This time it was a fracture, but now that the bone has been set, it's no big deal.

I am in much better spirits now and chat with Sun Chuchu every day.

When Doctor Cao heard that Huo Changhe was looking for him, he hurried to see him.

When he saw the herbs on the table, his eyes lit up: "A new job again? What are you researching this time?"

Yan Ruyu: “…” I am really impressed. He and the abbot are just like each other, one is a money fanatic and the other is a medicine fanatic.

"Take a look at these herbs. Do you recognize them?"

Doctor Cao picked it up and looked at it carefully against the candlelight. His smile faded and his brows furrowed.

"I know, but the quality of this medicinal herb isn't very good." He pointed at the leaves and said, "Look, the leaves are so thin and narrow, the back is not red, and the stems haven't even grown yet."

"If this kind of medicinal material is used in a prescription, the efficacy will be compromised."

"And this one," Doctor Cao looked at the other two, "this one doesn't work either."

"What kind of herb is this and what is it used to treat?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Doctor Cao rarely had the chance to teach Yan Ruyu, so he cleared his throat and said, "These three medicines are actually similar in use. It depends on how you use them. They are all used to treat the stomach and intestines."

"In fact, we don't use it very much inside the Great Wall. It's mainly used by nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall."

"I know this," Huo Changhe took over the conversation, "Because of their living habits, their water sources are easily affected. They also eat a lot of meat, so their stomachs are not very good."

"Our tea leaves are also a necessity for them, as are these medicinal herbs."

Doctor Cao nodded: "That's right."

"I remember my father once said that a large-scale epidemic broke out outside the Great Wall several decades ago. Many people suffered from stomach discomfort and diarrhea, and many of their people were killed or injured."

"However, after that incident, they learned a lesson and are more careful in their daily lives. They also have some medicinal herbs on hand. Especially now that there is peace inside and outside the Great Wall, they have also invited some doctors from the Central Plains. Some have also learned Central Plains medical skills. Tragic situations like those back then have not happened again."

Yan Ruyu listened carefully. Although she didn't understand these medicines, she understood as soon as Huo Changhe introduced the situation.

"Then the question is," Yan Ruyu held a herb in her hands, "Why did they go to the trouble of building a greenhouse to grow these herbs? Wouldn't it be the same if they waited until the weather warmed up and the fields were ready to be cultivated?"

When Doctor Cao heard this, his eyes widened: "What the hell? Building a greenhouse to grow this? Isn't this something a fool would do? How much does it cost to build a greenhouse? How much can this herb sell for? Isn't this a losing business?"

"That's the problem," Yan Ruyu said, "They are not stupid, and they will not do business that loses money."

"There must be a reason for this."
