After An Ruowan had rested, he and Gu Beichen walked towards the woods again.
But this time, An Ruowan noticed something was wrong while still halfway there, because Gu Beichen was not taking the same path as before.
Just when An Ruowan was still wondering what was going on, Gu Beichen stopped in his tracks. The sound of two people fighting came from behind. He turned around and saw it was Qingfeng and a strange man.
Within a moment, the man fell from the air and was brought directly in front of Gu Beichen by Qingfeng.
"Who sent you here?"
Gu Beichen spoke in a calm voice, and An Ruowan finally realized that they were being followed. Thinking of what Gu Beichen told her before, she felt a chill down her spine.
The man didn't speak, so Qingfeng kicked him.
The next second, Bai Yu appeared from the darkness, grabbed the man's chin, and then pulled out the fangs.
"It seems that you are unwilling to easily tell the person behind it, so I have to take some special measures."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingfeng took the person down.
After less than a stick of incense, Qingfeng returned to Gu Beichen and said, "Prince Qi, the man still didn't say anything and died."
"Be careful when you throw the body here."
Qingfeng disappeared in response, and Gu Beichen continued to lead An Ruowan forward.
There was a little delay on the way, but Ye Ziqi had been waiting here for a long time.
"Sorry I'm late, something happened on the way."
As soon as the two met Ye Ziqi, An Ruowan rushed to explain, and then came to Juan Niang.
Seeing Juan Niang's expression recover a little, An Ruowan felt relieved.
"You all go out first, I'm going to give you the acupuncture."
After the two of them exited, An Ruowan lined up the silver needles she brought, twisted them one by one and landed on Juan Niang's acupoints.
"You may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but after you get over it, it will turn into a warm current. I can't help you with this process, you can only handle it by yourself."
When An Ruowan looked up after the acupuncture, she saw an expression of unbearable pain on Juan Niang's face.
After hearing this, Juan Niang gritted her teeth and persisted. As expected, when the time of the stick of incense passed, Juan Niang looked rosy and relaxed her brows slightly.
Seeing this, An Ruowan's eyes flashed with surprise. He stepped forward and placed his fingertips on Juan Niang's wrist. Looking at the hope in her eyes, An Ruowan nodded to her.
"Don't worry, you're recovering well."
Upon hearing this, Juan Niang breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes that had been open slowly closed, and soon her breathing became even.
At this time, An Ruowan turned around and retreated. The two people outside looked at her with worried faces.
"How is Juan Niang's condition?"
As he spoke, Ye Ziqi walked over. If it weren't for An Ruowan's identity, he would have grabbed An Ruowan's hand and forced her to speak.
An Ruowan looked at the scene in front of her expressionlessly, and couldn't help but frown.
Seeing this, Ye Ziqi's heart was in her throat, and the excitement in her eyes gradually dimmed, "It doesn't matter if it's useless, I will definitely wait until she recovers."
At this time, An Ruowan couldn't help but smile, "You must believe in my medical skills. Juan Niang's condition is recovering well. She also wants to stand up very much, so she is very cooperative."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziqi froze on the spot for a long time without reacting, as if she didn't know which of An Ruowan's words to believe.
It wasn't until Gu Beichen quickly came to An Ruowan that he patted Ye Ziqi on the shoulder and said, "The princess just acted on a whim. It seems that Juan Niang is indeed fine."
Ye Ziqi looked blankly at Gu Beichen aside, then at An Ruowan, then seemed to finally react and walked inside with tears in his eyes.
"Juan Niang..."
As Ye Ziqi finished speaking, An Ruowan subconsciously raised his head and looked at Gu Beichen beside him, "It seems it's time for us to leave."
On the way back, An Ruowan was still thinking, "My lord, if Juan Niang really stands up when the time comes, will Ye Ziqi cry?"
Gu Beichen lowered his eyes and looked in front of him, slightly raising the corners of his mouth, "Is the princess so sure?"
As soon as these words came out, An Ruowan raised his head slightly and said, "This is natural. It will definitely take effect in less than half a month."
In fact, it was not that An Ruo was so sure of the party, but she could see that Juan Niang was also desperately trying to recover, and if the two of them cooperated, it would be effective.
Entering the inn, An Ruowan thought of what happened on the road again, "My lord, I think this is who is targeting us."
Hearing this, Gu Beichen's expression became serious, "Now the news that we left Tuoba Country has probably not spread. It must be that we met that curious person on the road."
As soon as he finished speaking, a suspicious figure flashed through Gu Beichen's mind. However, this matter must be thoroughly investigated before making a conclusion.
An Ruowan also sat at the table and couldn't help but think about the people she met since entering the city, especially the inexplicable dream that popped up in her mind, which also made a figure pop up in her mind.
"That Jinxi, why do you think the prince came to visit her last time?"
Listening to the words coming out of An Ruowan's mouth, Gu Beichen knew what she was thinking. The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
However, before the two of them recovered, they happened to see Qingfeng walking in from outside.
"Your Majesty, that woman is here again."
Hearing this, An Ruowan's eyes flashed with surprise, "This really means that Cao Cao is here. My lord, what do you think this person is here for?"
Gu Beichen smiled and sat down at the table, "We'll find out if we let her in."
Qingfeng retreated in response, and soon that delicate figure appeared in front of them.
"I've met the young master."
After the words fell, Jin Xi looked at Gu Beichen, with a well-placed smile on his lips, but he didn't take An Ruowan seriously at all.
Fortunately, Gu Beichen never let go of his hand on her waist, and An Ruowan just smiled indifferently.
"Girls Jinxi, even if you want to seduce my husband, you have to choose to do it when I'm not present. Now that I'm still sitting here, even if my husband is really interested in you, you can't do it in front of me. Show your face.”
When Jinxi's petty thoughts were brought to light by An Ruowan without any courtesy, she still didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment on her face. Instead, she leaned slightly towards her as if she had just seen An Ruowan. .
"I see. Now that I'm here, I wonder if it's inconvenient for Madam to avoid you for the time being."
Upon hearing this, An Ruowan couldn't help but widen her eyes. This was the first time she heard such an unreasonable request.
After the words fell, even Gu Beichen couldn't help but hold An Ruowan's hand tighter, "No need, she's right here."
