After eating and drinking, He Fangyan decided to leave with Yuwen Ran.
On the way back to his private residence, Yuwen Ran discovered that someone was following him secretly.
He gradually slowed down his pace, and from time to time he looked back at the man in black hiding not far away.
The fact that someone was following him undoubtedly showed that they had bad intentions and wanted to assassinate Yuwen Ran.
Fortunately, Yuwen Ran has always been on guard, so he was not seriously hurt.
"call out--"
When the man in black shot the arrow, Yuwen Ran couldn't help but frown slightly.
At the same time, the road ahead of Yuwen Ran was blocked.
"You won't be able to escape from here today."
He spoke to the person in front of him with great confidence, but his eyes were full of sarcasm and coldness.
Yuwen Ran remained indifferent the entire time. He withdrew his gaze and remained on guard at all times.
Several men in black rushed forward together. Yuwen Ran retreated repeatedly and did not fight back.
After going back and forth like this, Yuwen Ran vaguely realized that these people were secretly testing his martial arts.
He simply pretended to be defeated and was wounded in the arm with a dagger.
If Yuwen Ran didn't know any martial arts, he would definitely not be able to escape. Therefore, he pretended to try his best to repel the several men in black around him.
Looking at the several men in black who had fallen to the ground, Yuwen Ran set his sights on the last remaining person.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and let the man leave in a hurry.
Only by letting this man go can Liu Xinwu be convinced that there is nothing suspicious about him. After all, Liu Xinwu never believes his own words. On the contrary, he will believe the words of his subordinates.
After returning to the bedroom in her private residence, Gu Yanyue still hadn't rested.
She could smell the smell of blood from a long distance away.
Gu Yanyue couldn't help but frown, her face full of nervous worry. Seeing Yu Wenran push open the door and walk in, she couldn't help but look him up and down carefully, "What's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, Gu Yanyue murmured a few words of reproach, "Your Majesty, didn't you tell me that you would take good care of yourself?"
The reason why others care about Yuwen Ran's health is undoubtedly because Yuwen Ran is the supreme ruler.
Gu Yanyue cares about and worries about Yuwen Ran simply because he is Yuwen Ran.
Seeing the complicated expression on Gu Yanyue's face, Yu Wenran smiled softly and answered without thinking, "Ayue, I'm fine. I just encountered some minor troubles on the way back."
Listening to Yu Wenran's casual words, Gu Yanyue glanced at him and did not give Yu Wenran any way out.
"If it was just a minor inconvenience, you wouldn't be hurt."
Gu Yanyue's words undoubtedly proved that she was indignant.
Yu Wenran smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to explain the whole cause and effect of the whole thing.
After understanding the whole story and knowing that Liu Xinwu was actually testing Yuwen Ran, Gu Yanyue felt a little dissatisfied, but she could only hold it in. "Your Majesty, you must be more careful in the future."
After repeated instructions, Gu Yanyue was worried about Yu Wenran's health, so she specially made some Kung Pao Chicken for him and boiled some pigeon soup to nourish his body.
The next day at noon.
Liu Xinwu specially sent someone to invite Yuwen Ran and He Fangyan to visit his house.
Yuwen Ran knew Liu Xinwu's intention. He originally wanted to go alone, but Gu Yanyue insisted, so he had to take Gu Yanyue with him.
Seeing that the woman standing next to Yuwen Ran was very beautiful, Liu Xinwu's eyes showed a hint of smile.
"This is..."
Hearing the question raised by Liu Xinwu, Gu Yanyue nodded slightly, lowered his eyebrows, and just bowed.
"She is Brother Yuwen's wife. When she learned that Brother Yuwen was going to be assassinated, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, so she simply followed him here."
It was He Fangyan who specifically spoke up to explain on behalf of Gu Yanyue and Yu Wenran.
Fearing that Liu Xinwu would become suspicious, He Fangyan deliberately winked and said, "Brother Yuwen has a very good relationship with this sister-in-law."
After understanding these things, Liu Xinwu nodded belatedly.
"Master Liu, you were drunk yesterday and indeed spoke quite a bit to us. Can we discuss this in more detail now?"
When He Fangyan said this, Liu Xinwu did not refuse.
He nodded in agreement, and after a brief pause, Liu Xinwu couldn't help but continue, "Madam, why don't you go to the backyard and rest?"
After hearing Liu Xinwu say this, Gu Yanyue felt reluctant to force him to stay.
Following the maid to the backyard, Gu Yanyue didn't like being watched. She coughed twice, raised her eyes to look at the maid in front of her, and said slowly, "I want to walk around alone."
The maid's expression was a little abnormal, and she waved her hands repeatedly, "Madam, this servant was arranged by the master to serve you."
The implication was that she could only follow Gu Yanyue step by step.
Gu Yanyue had never thought of making things difficult for a little maid, so she nodded slightly and simply let the man follow her.
Gu Yanyue seemed to hear a faint sound.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but follow the sound.
Seeing the confined courtyard ahead, the maid couldn't help but trot forward hastily. Then she directly stretched out her hand to block Gu Yanyue, "Madam, you can't go there."
Can't go?
When he heard this, Gu Yanyue was a little surprised.
But no matter what, Gu Yanyue did hear someone calling for help.
"Help, help—"
A series of female voices were heard, followed by the sound of whips.
When he heard this voice, Gu Yanyue's face became solemn and his expression was full of coldness.
"I'll go see what's going on over there."
Seeing that Gu Yanyue insisted on going to investigate the situation, the maid immediately knelt down in front of Gu Yanyue.
"Ma'am, you must not go over there."
Gu Yanyue obviously didn't expect the maid's reaction to be like this.
She was a little confused, but couldn't help asking, "Why are you stopping me?"
"Madam, the courtyard over there is where the mansion imprisons people. If the master abducts a woman, he will most likely imprison her there for a period of time. If they refuse to marry the master, they will probably be beaten to death."
"The girl who was brought back recently was stubborn and refused to marry the master. She has been whipped for three days and is now dying."
When she said this, the little maid was already wiping her eyes with tears.
But after she finished speaking, she realized belatedly that she was in a hurry and had let everything slip.
