The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

When the chaos broke out on the banks of the Huai River, Shi Liu and Liu Yue were the first to rush out under the protection of Zuo Cheng and others, and took a carriage back to Yutaifang.

"Are you all okay?" Liang was very worried. She pulled Liu Yue up and down to look him up and down, and then looked at Shi Liu carefully. She was relieved to see that both of them were fine.

"I told you not to go out today, because too many people can easily cause trouble, but Yue'er insisted on going. Fortunately, nothing happened. I heard that there were rebels on the banks of the Huai River, and they killed anyone they saw. My heart almost jumped out of my chest!"

Liu Yue was not frightened at all, and felt very excited. "Who knew there would be such a big chaos on the banks of the Huai River today? Fortunately, the people from the Five Cities Military Command arrived quickly and captured those rebels very quickly."

"Mom, you don't know that Yang Xu'an was like a turtle at that time. He was so scared that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move. If I hadn't pulled him back, he would have been hacked to death!"

"Yang Xuan'an? Yue'er, did you meet him?" Liang was curious.

Liu Yue pouted, "I met him! Mom, let me tell you, he is as cowardly as a turtle, and his eyesight is not good. He bumps into people when he walks! I don't want to marry such a man!"

Liang paused and said, "The rebels kill everyone they see, who wouldn't be afraid? This Third Young Master Yang is a scholar, not a general's son, isn't it normal for him to be a little timid? He's young, but he's already passed the exam without any support, and he has a good temper, gentle and polite, and he looks good. How come you can't marry such a good man?"

Liu Yue snorted heavily, "I just won't marry! The person I want to marry must be a majestic hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, and has great martial arts skills, not this cowardly cuckold!"

Shi Liu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Liang was also having a headache. "Shi Liu, you are still laughing. Listen to what she said. It's so childish!"

"Auntie, Yue'er is still young. Isn't her innocence also her lovable part?" Which little girl doesn't dream of marrying a hero?

"She's almost fifteen, how can she still be young?" Liang also shook her head, feeling a headache. Her eldest daughter was obviously well-educated, gentle and quiet, but why was the youngest daughter so jumpy and childish.

Fortunately, Young Master Yang is also the youngest son. After Yue'er marries him, she won't have to be a clan wife, nor will she have to take care of the household chores or manage a large family, which will be somewhat easier.

By then, she and her husband could give Yue'er more dowry, and the couple could live a carefree life.

After having lunch at the Liu family's place, the boss Liu came back and called Shi Liu to the study to talk.

"Li Yan ran away."

"Run away?" Shi Liu was shocked. She had been keeping an eye on him in advance, so how could he run away?
Liu Dongjia said: "That Li Yan played a trick to escape, and took Princess Zhao Zhao away with him."

"Did he take Princess Zhaozhao away as well?" Shi Liu was puzzled. In her opinion, Li Yan didn't seem to really like Princess Zhaozhao. He took Princess Zhaozhao with him when he fled the capital, which obviously meant he had ulterior motives.

Also, escape from the shell?
Shi Liu suddenly thought of Li Yan's unusual scarlet robe today, and suddenly realized, no wonder.

"Why did he take Princess Zhaozhao away? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very confused. But what is even more confusing is that he carefully planned to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau. Was it just to get in touch with Prince Gong and instigate him to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel? This is really hard to understand." Liu Dongjia frowned in thought, extremely confused.

Yeah, this is too weird.

When she first suspected that Doctor Wang might be Li Yan, she asked His Royal Highness to be more cautious. At that time, she thought about this problem carefully. Li Yan used the epidemic in Daming Prefecture as a springboard to successfully enter the Imperial Hospital. He must have a purpose. She wondered if he wanted to get close to the emperor and gain his trust with his medical skills, so as to wait for an opportunity to poison or assassinate the emperor. But then she felt something was wrong. The emperor was not so easy to assassinate, and poisoning the emperor was even more difficult. The emperor's food and drink were all tested by eunuchs. Unless he could bribe all the eunuchs, otherwise, once something happened, Li Yan would not be able to escape.

As the leader of the remnants of the rebels, he didn't need to risk his life and die with the emperor. What was he trying to achieve? What was the point of lying dormant for so many years?
So, according to the general routine, he hid behind the scenes to instigate the royal infighting and then reaped the benefits, which is barely reasonable.

It seems that he was treating the poison for Prince Gong and giving acupuncture to Prince Yu. Wasn't he just paving the way?

But the means used by Prince Gong to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel today were really too frivolous. Moreover, Li Yan did not take command for Prince Gong, but instead took advantage of the chaos to escape. It seems that today's turmoil was just a strategy of Li Yan in order to successfully escape, and Prince Gong was also used by him.

So, why did Li Yan go to so much trouble to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau?
Was it simply because he realized that her identity was suspected and he could no longer continue his plan and had to flee?

Pomegranate really couldn't understand.

But soon, she felt a chill on her back and stood up quickly, "I have to rush back to Luoshui immediately!"

"What's wrong?" Liu Dongjia was shocked by her reaction and asked hurriedly.

"Li Yan hates me to the core and has tried to kill me several times but failed. This time he has escaped from the capital. If he can be brought back, that would be great. If not, I'm afraid he will harm my family!"

Given Li Yan's cunningness, he had already made arrangements for today's events, so she was afraid that she would not be able to catch him. She couldn't help but worry about her family.

Even though she left Hu Zhen behind when she left home, and transferred dozens of guards from Dazao Village to guard her home, what if Li Yan got angry and sent a large number of people to kill her family, just like what happened in Erli Village last time——

She must go back immediately!
Seeing that she was determined and knowing that she was worried about her family, Liu Dongjia did not want to stop her. He just told her to be careful on the way.

Shi Liu thanked him and did not bother to stay any longer. He immediately went back to his house next door and asked Fu Dong and Sui Lu to pack their luggage and travel light. He also asked Zuo Cheng and others to make preparations and leave the city immediately.

While preparing, she called the housekeeper to tell him to pass on a message to Jiang Bing and the other two, telling them to be responsible for the opening of the Inner City Doll House. If there were any problems, they should ask for help from Liu Dongjia.

He also kept all the subsequent new drawings and told them to update them on time according to the agreed plan.

After such preparations, a group of fast horses headed for the city gate and hurried out of the city before the gate was locked.

When traveling quickly, the faster the better, so Shi Liu also rode a horse. As for Fu Dong and Sui Lu, who couldn't ride horses, she left someone to escort them and let them return later.

She only brought Zuo Cheng, Ke Hu Wancheng, Wei Xing and his fellow apprentices, as well as leader Geng. The rest of the escorts were left behind to escort Fu Dong and his companions as well as their carriages and luggage.

After passing Tongzhou Wharf, we did not take a boat to travel by water, but continued to ride horses by land.

They traveled day and night without stopping, and their thighs were covered with calluses. Finally, on the evening of March 19th, they entered Luoshui City.
