Sitting on the horse, An Ruowan found it novel at first, but after walking for a while, she just wanted to end this torture as soon as possible!
At night, An Ruowan couldn't wait to jump off the horse, feeling that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.
"You usually march and fight like this?"
Hearing the disbelief in An Ruowan's words, Gu Beichen just smiled and said, "Normally, I wouldn't be so anxious, but from what I see, the princess seems unwilling to waste time."
As he spoke, Gu Beichen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and saw An Ruowan showing an expression of sudden realization.
"It seems like it's not that I can't wait, but that the prince wants to see Princess Arina as soon as possible."
After finishing speaking, An Ruowan didn't forget to cast a sidelong glance at the person in front of her, then walked aside and sat down.
Gu Beichen followed closely, "Of course I want to see Arina earlier, so that I can come back sooner."
Before An Ruowan could speak, she saw Gu Beichen's expression suddenly changed and he looked sharply in one direction.
Without Gu Beichen opening his mouth, Qingfeng suddenly made a move from the darkness.
While she was breathing, she heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, making An Ruowan look up.
What was on the ground was the body of the man in black.
Since there was an ambush, this person would definitely not be the only one. Qingfeng instantly returned to Gu Beichen and protected the two of them behind him.
An Ruowan's eyes became a little more serious, and Bai Yu quietly appeared next to Qingfeng in the darkness, staring at the surroundings vigilantly.
Soon, a group of men in black were seen coming from the darkness and surrounding the two people from all directions.
Qingfeng and Bai Yu glanced at each other. They didn't rush to make any move. Instead, they stared at the people in front of them. When they rushed in front of them, they both took action together.
Seeing this, Gu Beichen frowned slightly and stared in front of him, firmly protecting An Ruowan behind him.
They had just come out of the capital, and someone was staring at them.
Thinking of this, the expression on Gu Beichen's face became darker and darker.
Although these men in black were coming with menacing force, Qingfeng and Bai Yu were not vegetarians. The two of them joined forces to force those men back continuously, but they were still unable to get even half a step closer to Gu Beichen.
Seeing that there were too many casualties, the man in black was unwilling to continue rushing forward, but wanted to retreat.
Seeing their intentions, Qingfeng slowed down his movements slightly, leaving the man in black alive.
After the others left, Qingfeng picked up the man and threw him in front of Gu Beichen.
The man in black had long thought that he would die, but Qingfeng had removed all the poison from his body, so he could only close his eyes and refused to look at the person in front of him.
"The man in the palace is so impatient now."
Gu Beichen spoke slowly and slowly, causing the man in black in front of him to open his eyes in surprise, but still did not speak.
"But this time, why do we let people like you come here?"
Hearing the disdain in Gu Beichen's words, the man in black snorted coldly.
An Ruowan poked her head out from behind Gu Beichen and looked at the figure on the ground, feeling her hands itchy.
Seeing the look in An Ruowan's eyes, Gu Beichen had no intention of asking anything out of his mouth, so he simply waved the man over to An Ruowan.
The man in black couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the scene in front of him, especially the silver needle with a cold light on An Ruowan's fingertips.
"I'm afraid this silver needle is no longer useful to you now. I'll let you try the poison I recently developed, just in time to test its properties."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extra pill appeared on An Ruowan's fingertips. Before the man in black could react, the pill popped into his mouth.
After a while, the expression on the man in black became ferocious, but An Ruowan had no intention of staying here to observe his expression and turned to look at Gu Beichen.
"Do you have anything you want to ask, Your Majesty? Otherwise, he might be in so much pain that he can't speak after a while."
"It's nothing. Let's leave this person to the princess to play."
Listening to the two men singing harmoniously, the expression on the man in black's face became more and more distorted. However, the pain from the bones gradually worsened, making him really feel that his tongue was spinning and he was speechless.
Hearing Gu Beichen's words, An Ruowan looked thoughtful, clapped her hands and stood up, "Okay, it seems there's nothing fun anymore."
After saying this, An Ruowan stood up seriously, unwilling to pay attention to the people behind her.
After walking a short distance away, An Ruowan looked at Gu Beichen, "I wonder who the prince thinks sent these people?"
Gu Beichen raised the corner of his mouth, "Didn't the princess already have a guess?"
"The man in the palace, do you think he is the emperor?"
Gu Beichen's eyes darkened, but he did not deny An Ruowan's guess.
Unexpectedly, An Ruowan put forward a different view, "I think it's not the emperor, otherwise he wouldn't have to put in so much effort. This matter is not aimed at the prince, but at me."
Hearing this, Gu Beichen turned and looked aside, "So, it's the queen."
After the words fell, Gu Beichen unconsciously held his hands tighter. He didn't expect that the queen could do this.
"No matter who it is, it seems that they don't want you and me to see Arzina. Maybe the antidote sent this time is really problematic."
An Ruowan nodded slightly, "It seems we really have to speed up the pace."
After such an incident, An Ruowan no longer wanted to rest, so she and Gu Beichen continued on their way through the night.
When a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, An Ruowan woke up from Gu Beichen's arms, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and couldn't help but yawn.
When he heard the noise, Gu Beichen lowered his eyes and said, "If you are tired, take a rest."
An Ruowan shook her head, turned her gaze to the scenery on the side, and unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, "My lord, look quickly."
Gu Beichen looked in the direction of her finger, his smile getting even bigger, but not because of the scene in front of him, but because of An Ruowan in his arms.
During the rest of the journey, I don't know whether the Queen restrained herself or Gu Beichen had someone clear the obstacles in advance. In short, there was no chance of encountering the man in black again.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the border between Tuoba Kingdom and Daqi, and their speed was forced to slow down.
They don't look like they are from Tuoba Kingdom, so you have to be extra careful when walking here.
That night, Gu Beichen found an inn and asked for two rooms.
The moment they entered, the eyes of several people in the store fell on them.
Although he just glanced at it and quickly moved away, An Ruowan still shuddered, feeling that things might not be that simple.
They followed the waiter up to the second floor, and specifically ordered the food to be delivered to their room.
The food was quickly delivered, but An Ruowan only glanced at it before stopping Gu Beichen and shaking her head at him.
