Xiao Ruyu squeezed in between the luggage and found a suitable corner to sit down.

[I don’t know if this journey is safe, I hope I can find a way to cure my stinky brother as soon as possible. ]

As he was thinking, the carriage had already left the capital.

Xiao Ruyu felt a heat in her lower abdomen and covered her stomach.

"What happened to the little princess?"

Seeing her like this, Eleven hurriedly asked.

Xiao Ruyu looked embarrassed and uttered a few words.

【Eleven, I want to go to the toilet. 】

Eleven subconsciously said "Ah?" and scratched his head embarrassedly.

He lifted the curtain and looked out. It was already dusk, but the carriage still showed no sign of stopping.

"What should I do?"

Eleven muttered, thinking of a solution.

Xiao Ruyu's face turned red at this moment and she clenched her teeth.

[Eleven! I don’t care! I’m going to get off the bus and use the toilet now!]

[I don't believe that even after going so far, Master would still send me back.]

After that, she pulled open the curtain and shouted to the coachman.

"Hold the horses! Hold the horses!"

The driver was startled by the sudden move and pulled the reins hard.

The horse was pulled back by inertia and neighed loudly.

Xiao Ruyu immediately jumped off the carriage and went into the woods to deal with the problem.

When she came out, Doctor Yang had already gotten off the carriage and was looking at her with a sullen face.

"Little princess, why are you following me again?"

Xiao Ruyu stuck out her tongue.

Turning around, he saw Eleven also being scolded by him and standing aside as punishment. He scratched his head embarrassedly.

She stepped forward and grabbed Doctor Yang's sleeve with a pitiful look.

[Master, please let me follow you. Look, I have come this far.]

Doctor Yang was well aware of the danger of this journey and mercilessly shook her hand away.

"No matter what, Master will not let the little princess take any risks today!"

"You, escort the little princess back."

He pointed at the coachman and asked him to send the two back to the palace.

Seeing his firm attitude, Xiao Ruyu was deflated for a moment, but still stood upright and refused to leave.

[That's my younger brother. I have to go find medicine for him.]

She spoke every word with decisiveness.

【I! Don’t! Go! Back!】

Doctor Yang knew very well that she had a stubborn temper. He held his forehead with his hand helplessly and glanced at Eleven who was standing beside him.

"Eleven, take the little princess back immediately."

He knew that Xiao Ruyu listened to Eleven the most, so he gave the order.

Eleven, however, stood there motionless, holding Xiao Ruyu's little hand tightly.

"I'm sorry that I can't obey your order this time. The little princess is eager to save the little prince, and I can't bear to see her getting thinner and thinner in the palace."

"Master Yang, don't worry. Shi will definitely protect the little princess!"

[Eleven, I knew you would stand by me. ]

Seeing the master and servant singing the same tune, Doctor Yang had no choice but to agree.

"Forget it, there's really nothing I can do about you two."

He shook his head and got into the carriage.

Seeing that the task was accomplished, Xiao Ruyu stretched out his hand, jumped up and patted Eleven on the back.

【Eleven, thanks to you. 】

A long-lost smile appeared on her face, and she followed in small steps.

With the addition of Xiao Ruyu, Doctor Yang's carriage became much more lively.

[Master, how far do we have to go this time? ]

Xiao Ruyu came closer, saw that Doctor Yang was still a little angry, and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Ten days."

Doctor Yang uttered two words indifferently, without even raising his head, flipping through the medical book in his hand.

Seeing that he still didn't want to pay attention to her, Xiao Ruyu thought about something.

[Master, please don't be angry. I will find a mistress for you in Beijing in the future.]

"Are you dissatisfied with the fact that Master has been a bachelor for two lifetimes?"

Doctor Yang closed the medical book and stared at Xiao Ruyu.

Xiao Ruyu grinned, and when she saw his expression soften, she threw herself into his arms.

[I know that Master doesn’t marry because he is satisfied with me and my junior brother.]

She paused, thinking of her missing junior fellow apprentice.

[I don't know how Junior Brother is doing now. ]

Eleven listened to the conversation between the two silently, and for the first time he became curious about the title of "Junior Brother".

…

The journey was relatively smooth.

The carriage kept running on the road, and as night was approaching, everyone stopped in a forest to rest.

"Today's schedule is tight, so let's rest here for the night."

Doctor Yang asked everyone to take out their rations and stay where they were.

Xiao Ruyu got off the carriage, looked at the lush trees around, and spoke jokingly.

[Master, are we going to rest here tonight? What if there are wild beasts?]

Doctor Yang took out the rations and handed them to Xiao Ruyu without even raising his head.

"If there is a wild animal, take the baby away first."

【Master——】

Xiao Ruyu hit him lightly with a coquettish look, then took the ration and stuffed it into her mouth.

She broke off a piece and handed it to Eleven behind her.

Eleven was about to take it when he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"careful!"

He shouted loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, an arrow pierced straight into the place where Xiao Ruyu had just stood.

Xiao Ruyu's eyes tightened and she felt a chill on her back.

Doctor Yang stepped forward to pull out the arrow and found that the place where the arrow was inserted had been smeared with poison.

It's obvious that he's here to kill you!

"There's an assassin!"

"Protect the little princess!"

Doctor Yang shouted loudly, and everyone instantly became alert and surrounded Xiao Ruyu.

As rustling sounds came from the bushes, several men in black fell from the sky.

They were wrapped up tightly and their faces could not be seen in the darkness.

Without giving everyone a chance to catch their breath, they pressed forward step by step, their goal clear.

It’s Xiao Ruyu who is surrounded in the middle!

Eleven drew his sword, stood in front of Xiao Ruyu, and whispered instructions.

"Master Yang, please take the little princess away first. There are too many of them. I will delay as long as I can."

Xiao Ruyu shook her head reluctantly and was dragged away by Doctor Yang to hide aside.

Everyone started fighting each other instantly.

This group of assassins were obviously well-trained, and they could easily kill these servants who only knew fist and foot skills.

In a short while, many of the people brought by Doctor Yang fell down.

Eleven was outnumbered three by one and managed to gain the upper hand.

When there were only a few people left in the palace, the assassins set their sights on Eleven.

Eleven was outnumbered and was forced to retreat again and again, with injuries all over his body.

At this time, an assassin discovered that Xiao Ruyu had disappeared and shouted angrily.

"Go find the little one!"

Xiao Ruyu watched helplessly as the sword slashed across Eleven's back, leaving a long trail of blood.

She screamed in surprise, then immediately covered her mouth when she realized what was happening.

But it was too late, the assassins discovered where the two were hiding and rushed over with swords drawn.

Before he could react, Xiao Ruyu's pupils gradually dilated as he watched the cold sword intent approaching him.

"don't want!"

"don't want!"

Doctor Yang and Eleven exclaimed at the same time.

The next second, a figure stood in front of Xiao Ruyu.

She clearly heard the sound of the sword piercing her flesh and blood splattered on her face.

"eleven!!!"
