"What secret?" Gu Yunran asked with a frown.
Ruizhu shook her head: "Sister Taohua was about to tell this servant when she was shot in the chest."
"Luckily, Qianbi came here in time, otherwise, this servant and Sister Taohua would have died at the hands of those thieves."
Looking at Taohua's pale face, Gu Yunran narrowed his eyes slightly: "Qianbi, you were the one who bandaged Zhuye's injury. Taohua's injury is so serious, are you sure?"
"I'll try."
Gu Yunran nodded. Qianbi came from the shogunate. Looking at the way she treated Zhuye's wound, one could tell that her medical skills must be quite advanced.
But now the three girls around her who knew some martial arts were injured, and she rubbed her eyebrows in pain.
Qianbi found the medicine box to treat Taohua's wound, and Gu Yunran stood beside her, watching anxiously.
Taohua was seriously injured, the arrow just pierced her chest.
Qianbi carefully worked on it for a long time before pulling out the arrow and placing the arrowhead on a copper plate. Gu Yunran asked the maid to take it out, wash it, and bring it in.
"Miss."
When Gu Yunran saw the arrow clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.
She had seen arrows of this shape before. Three years ago, when she was in Lujia Village, she was unfortunately ambushed by someone. The arrowhead on that bow was exactly the same as this one.
The first person to discover her was Lu Qingzhou.
If you think about the plot three years ago, was it Lu Qingzhou who did it?
At that time, Lu Qingzhou also went to find Mr. Lu Er to help save her. Her injuries were not serious at the time, but she still had to recuperate in Lujia Village for more than half a month before she recovered.
For half a month, Lu Qingzhou took care of her every step of the way. As time went by, she gradually developed feelings for this man and was determined to marry him.
Looking back now, all of this must have been premeditated. Lu Qingzhou had long been "smitten" with her, so he designed this scene of a hero saving a beauty.
Gu Yunran clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and rubbed her brows with a headache. She had no idea that Lu Qingzhou was so up and down.
However, she had never met him before, so how did he plot against her?
After thinking for a long time, Gu Yunran still couldn't figure it out.
At this time, Qianbi had already treated Taohua's wound.
"Miss, fortunately there is no poison on this street. Peach Blossom will wake up after two days of rest."
"Thanks a lot!"
"Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do."
Qianbi saw that Gu Yunran's face was a little pale and her expression was full of fatigue. She said, "Miss, I will just stay here to guard you. It's getting late and the night is cold. You should go back to your room and rest."
"good."

On the second day, after breakfast, Gu Yunran asked Wang Po to prepare things for returning home the next day.
She personally went to the chrysanthemum field to pick some fresh chrysanthemums, picked out some good ones, washed and dried them, and boiled them in water with rock sugar.
"Miss, what are you doing?" the kitchen girl asked curiously.
"When I was little, my mother always made chrysanthemum mooncakes for me. This Mid-Autumn Festival, it's my turn to make mooncakes for her."
While she was busy, a little maid came to announce that the Queen had arrived. Gu Yunran paused with her hand holding the spoon, straightened her clothes and went to the door to greet her.
Yesterday, someone sent someone to deliver a letter to Gu Qingyue, saying that he would come to see her today. However, Gu Yunran didn't know that he would return to the Gu Mansion tomorrow. Why was Gu Qingyue so impatient to come to the farm in the suburbs to look for her today?
As soon as Gu Yunran reached the door, Gu Qingyue got off the sedan chair.
Gu Yunran bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Empress!"
“No need!”
Gu Qingyue's usual fake smile was gone from her face. She asked Gu Yunran to stand up, then she walked past Gu Yunran and went straight to the inner hall.
Flower Hall.
Ruizhu brought up the tea and said, "Enjoy your meal, Your Majesty!"
"All of you please go down. I have something personal to say to Yun Ran."
Ruizhu glanced at Gu Yunran, who nodded to signal them to leave. Ruizhu retreated and closed the door, and she stood at the door, listening to the movements in the room at all times.
Gu Yunran sat next to Gu Qingyue, picked up the tea and took a sip without saying anything. Gu Qingyue kept staring at Gu Yunran, not knowing what she was thinking.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the flower hall was eerily quiet, and finally Gu Qingyue couldn't help but speak.
Her eyes were full of questioning: "I heard that you left the Lu Mansion?"
"Yes." Gu Yunran put down his teacup, turned to look at Gu Qingyue, and asked with a smile, "What instructions does the Queen have?"
"Back then, you loved Lu Qingzhou so much that you were determined to marry him. Now that your wish has come true, why are you leaving again?"
"I was blind at first and couldn't judge people clearly." Gu Yunran paused and continued, "Now that I understand, I am leaving."
"Have you really let it go?"
"yes."
Gu Qingyue squeezed the handkerchief in her hand tightly and confirmed again: "You won't go back again?"
"yes."
Gu Yunran answered firmly. Gu Qingyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and calmed down. She said bluntly, "Do you know what consequences your leaving the Lu Mansion without permission will bring to your uncle and brother Yun Yi?"
"At the morning court this morning, several officials accused my uncle of failing to raise his daughter properly. Not only did you stab your husband, you also absconded with your dowry. Your moral integrity is flawed, and while it might not be a big deal to ruin your own reputation, you've also jeopardized the careers of my uncle and my younger brother, Yun Yi. Yun Ran, how could you bear to do this?"
Gu Yunran held the handkerchief in her hand and lowered her head.
She had just escaped from the Lu family yesterday, and today she was beaten up for submitting a memorial to the emperor that implicated her father and brother. She didn't believe that there was no one fanning the flames.
Lu Qingzhou was seriously injured and he was no longer an official in the court, so it was naturally not his job. Even if he wanted to, he didn't have the ability.
