"wait."
Wu Yong suddenly remembered what happened just now, and stopped the person as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Did you just talk so freely?"
The guard naturally guessed what Wu Yong was going to say, so he quickly rubbed oil on his feet and fled.
Fortunately, Wu Yong didn't particularly care about this matter, so he didn't say anything more when he saw him leaving.
When An Ruowan and the others returned to the inn, neither of them dismounted.
"Princess, do you still want to go out for a walk?"
An Ruowan felt that sitting like this was comfortable enough anyway, so she nodded to him. As for where to go, that was what Gu Beichen should consider.
After turning around and walking a short distance away, An Ruowan raised his head and looked behind him, "Miss Jin, it looks like she is sincere to the prince. Why doesn't the prince consider it?"
Ever since Jinxi came over last time, An Ruowan liked to use such words to tease him from time to time, and Gu Beichen was almost used to it.
"That kind of person can't get into my eyes."
Hearing this, An Ruowan's eyes overflowed with a smile, "Oh? Then I wonder what kind of stunning beauty is needed to make our Prince Rong fall in love at first sight?"
When she finished speaking, Gu Beichen's eyes fell directly on her.
"Isn't it clear to the princess who exactly this king likes?"
Even though An Ruowan had guessed Gu Beichen's answer, hearing him say it himself still made her cheeks turn red. She quickly pretended to be looking away and pointed.
"Look over there."
Gu Beichen looked in the direction of her finger, then unconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, "Wait here."
With that said, before An Ruowan could react, Gu Beichen tied the cloak around her body and then turned over and dismounted.
Just when An Ruowan was still thinking about what he was going to do, she realized that Gu Beichen had bought two bunches of candied haws and handed them over in a serious manner.
An Ruowan was about to reach out and take it when she saw Gu Beichen's expression change.
The next second, she felt as if the horse beneath her was frightened, and then suddenly jumped out.
Seeing this, Gu Beichen tapped his feet and chased forward.
However, there were many people on the street today. In desperation, An Ruowan just lay on the horse, not caring about where the horse was going.
Because Gu Beichen was worried, he looked straight ahead and kept shouting for them to get out of the way.
Naturally, there was a lot of disturbance in the crowd. Many people retreated to both sides, but some people still couldn't dodge and just stayed there stupidly.
Fortunately, Gu Beichen had caught up with the horse at this time. Seeing the thrilling scene in front of him, he quickly jumped on the horse and held the horse's reins firmly.
As the horse half stood up, the two of them almost fell off the horse. Gu Beichen held An Ruowan in his arms without letting her make any mistakes.
At the last moment, the horse stopped dangerously. The mother and daughter in front of the horse were so frightened that they did not recover for a long time.
Gu Beichen immediately looked down at the person in his arms. Seeing her pale face, there was a bit of anger on her face, but in the end there was only one sentence left.
"how do you feel?"
Hearing this, An Ruowan came back to her senses, and when she turned around and saw Gu Beichen's face, she felt relieved.
"I'm fine. The mother and daughter just now..."
Apparently An Ruowan also saw the thrilling scene just now. She struggled to get down, and Gu Beichen could only bring her to the ground.
However, because of what happened just now, An Ruowan's legs were already weak and she couldn't even stand firmly.
"Are you okay?"
There was no other way, so Gu Beichen had no choice but to speak first and ask what An Ruowan was worried about.
The woman seemed to have come to her senses, and quickly lowered her head to inspect the girl in her arms from beginning to end, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, we're okay."
As she spoke, the woman wanted to leave with the child in her arms, but from the beginning to the end, the child looked frightened and did not speak, which made An Ruowan frown.
"etc."
Hearing the noise coming from behind, the woman didn't know what else was going on and subconsciously turned her head to look in front of her.
"What's your child's name?"
Although the woman didn't know why An Ruowan asked this, she still lowered her head and looked into her arms, only to realize that her daughter had always been frightened like this.
"Xiao Nuan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. Xiao Nuan, please speak!"
Listening to the woman's voice, An Ruowan couldn't help but frown. After all, no matter what, this matter was all caused by her, and she couldn't just leave like this.
After a while, An Ruowan regained some strength and came out of Gu Beichen's arms and came to the little girl.
"If you don't mind, could you let me take her pulse?"
As soon as she heard this, the woman was so frightened that she was helpless.
After An Ruowan checked Xiaonuan's pulse, she realized that it was caused by excessive convulsion. He took out a silver needle and inserted it slightly into her acupuncture point.
Seeing this, a flash of distress flashed in the woman's eyes, but soon, Xiao Nuan's expression recovered somewhat.
After An Ruowan pulled out the silver needle, Xiao Nuan seemed to have just come back to her senses. She looked at the woman beside her, threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
Hearing Xiao Nuan's cry, An Ruowan felt relieved.
"Let's go."
Since he was fine, An Ruowan didn't stay here anymore, turned around and prepared to leave with Gu Beichen.
Gu Beichen's eyes fell on the horse without wanting to, leaving a trail of blood on its neck. Looking carefully, he realized that someone hit the horse's neck with a hidden weapon, causing it to suddenly go crazy.
Gu Beichen's eyes darkened completely. Who else here wanted to cause trouble to them.
An Ruowan unconsciously raised her hand and touched the blood flowing from the horse, but she couldn't help but frown, "This dart is poisonous."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to verify An Ruowan's words, the horse suddenly fell down.
When everyone heard the noise, they all looked over, and the woman knelt down in front of An Ruowan with Xiao Nuan, "Thank you for saving my life."
"This is what I should do. You should go back quickly."
An Ruowan's attention was not here at the moment. Instead, she was staring at the lifeless horse in front of her, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
The matter here was quickly settled, but the poisoned horse was brought back by Gu Beichen.
"My lord, who do you think this person could be?"
"They should be the same group as the people who intercepted us on the way last time."
Although one of those people was caught last time, he died without asking anything in the end. Now that something like this happened again, why didn't Gu Beichen suspect that someone was secretly targeting them? .
"Presumably these people are here for Ye Ziqi."
An Ruowan told her her guess, but Gu Beichen didn't respond.
