They headed towards the capital, and moved slowly considering the child's health.
After seven days, the child's cold was basically cured, with only an occasional cough.
Shangguan Ruyi finally came out of her grief.
The main reason was that Shangguan Ziqi and Yu Yuanzheng treated her very well and never looked at her differently just because she was a divorced woman. This made her feel that with her family in her family, she had someone to rely on.
Besides, Shangguan Ziqi is her biological elder brother, so she will have someone to rely on in the future.
The team with children was full of laughter.
Every time Yu Yuanzheng passed a town, she would ask the guards to buy some things that children would like for Xiao Yue'er, including food and toys.
In just a few days, Xiao Yue'er and she became as close as mother and daughter.
"Aunt, aunt," he called her in a very affectionate way.
And every time Shangguan Ru saw Yu Yuanzheng teasing her daughter, she would watch gently from the side.
One day, they came to a valley with high mountains on both sides. A river could only be passed through the bottom of the valley, and there was a small stream flowing at the foot of the mountain.
The weather was a bit gloomy, but it wasn't likely to rain yet.
Autumn is as cool as water.
After working for most of the day, everyone was hungry and needed to make lunch.
"Let's get out of this valley and stop at the entrance to make something to eat." Shangguan Ziqi was riding on a horse with Xiao Yue'er in his arms. He looked at the mountains on both sides and made a decision.
"Okay." Yu Yuanzheng stuck his head out of the carriage window and looked both ways, agreeing.
After exiting the valley, there was a relatively flat open space with quite a few stoves. It must be that the business travelers who were passing by also chose to rest here.
They brought a lot of things with them, and they didn't go hunting for more food.
Yu Yuanzheng knew how to cook, so she led two maids and Shangguan Ru to cook together.
Little Yue'er was having fun nearby.
"Hehe, uncle, uncle. So tall, so tall."
Shangguan Ziqi held her up high in his arms, and she kept shouting with joy.
Shangguan Ru is not very good at cooking, so she learned how to make fire.
As a result, she made herself look like a clown.
This made Yu Yuanzheng laugh.
Of course, she smiled like that on purpose, to create a more pleasant atmosphere and to help Sister Ru relax a little more.
Shangguan Ru, embarrassed by the laughter, wiped her face with a handkerchief, but the more she wiped, the more stains on her face became.
"Oh, oh, mother is a big tabby cat." Little Yue'er also ran over and made fun of her mother.
"Let's go to the water and wash." Yu Yuanzheng suggested.
Shangguan Ru shyly stood up and went to wash her face by the stream, which was only a few dozen feet away.
Zhuiyun followed her a few feet away and looked at her.
When Shangguan Ru looked at herself in the water, her face was indeed very colorful. It was not an exaggeration for her daughter to say that she looked like a big tabby cat.
He squatted down, wet the towel, washed his face again and again, then took a photo of it. He stood up only after his face was clean.
And just as she stood up, a sharp arrow shot straight at her.
The speed was very fast. As soon as Zhuiyun found the danger, he jumped over, but it was too late.
The sharp arrow shot straight into Shangguan Ru's heart.
"Ah!" a scream was heard.
Shangguan Ziqi turned around and saw Zhuiyun catching Shangguan Ru who was shot by an arrow.
The guards rushed over.
"Master, where is it?" Zhuiyun saw some movement in the bushes.
Then I knew that the archer had been hiding there.
"Chun Lei, Xia Yu, stay here, and the rest of you follow me." Shangguan Ziqi gave an order and the people flew several feet away.
He walked to the other side of the stream and went in the direction pointed by Zhuiyun.
The guards reacted quickly and followed.
Yu Yuanzheng was also startled and ran over hurriedly.
"Sister Ru!"
"Big sister-in-law, it hurts so much." Shangguan Ru's face looked miserable. She had just washed and there were still water stains on her face and the hair around her.
Now I am sweating again.
When Yu Yuanzheng saw the arrow was right at the center of his heart, his heart sank.
"Hurry, carry the person into the carriage." Yu Yuanzheng's smiling face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
You can tell without thinking who sent someone to do it.
But why is it so fast?
They had only been on the road for a few days, how could they have been reported to the capital? Could Third Uncle have arranged for someone to assassinate them?
Even a carrier pigeon isn't that fast.
There is only one possibility, Uncle San has been sending people to keep an eye on the Lin family.
This followed them all the way.
Just to kill Sister Ru directly.
So unexpected.
Saving lives is important.
Zhuiyun carried the person into the carriage.
"Zhilan, Zhiruo, help me." Yu Yuanzheng ordered in a cold voice.
"Yes, ma'am."
The three guards were on high alert, standing guard outside the carriage, ready to receive orders at any time.
They also keep their eyes on the surroundings so that they can react immediately if there is any danger.
Xiao Yue'er saw that her mother was carried by someone, and saw something stuck in her mother's chest. She didn't understand, but from the adults' expressions she knew that something had happened to her mother.
"Waaa..." burst into tears.
"Don't cry, cousin. Your mother will be fine with your aunt here." Xia Yu hugged her in his arms and comforted her.
At this time, Yu Yuanzheng opened the medicine box, took out a pair of scissors and cut open Shangguan Ru's shirt.
She didn't know the length of the arrow, how deep it had sunk, or whether it had a barb.
Facing her relatives, she didn't know how to start.
Her hands were shaking a little.
How to do this operation? I dare not do it without anesthesia. Sister Ru is just a weak woman, how can she bear the pain of the operation?
"Chun Lei, how far is it from here to the next town?" Yu Yuanzheng leaned out and asked anxiously.
"If it's just a small town, it will take an hour. If it's a county town, it may take until dark." Chunlei answered truthfully.
"Chunlei, pack up, we'll leave immediately and go to town. Sister Ru can't have the surgery to remove the arrow here. Zhuiyun, you stay and wait for your husband and the others to come back." Yu Yuanzheng made the decision immediately.
"yes."
The rice is still in the pot, but no one has time to eat it now.
Set off immediately.
"Sister Ru, bear with it. Once we get to town, I'll give you anesthesia and remove the arrow for you."
The arrow was not pulled out, and the blood loss was not much, so he would not die immediately. He could hold on for a while.
But it can't be delayed too long.
"Sister-in-law..., I, I won't die, right?" Shangguan Ru now has a strong desire to survive.
She didn't want to die yet. She wanted to go back and question Concubine Luo and her parents why they treated her like this.
She wants to live, and she has a daughter to raise.
Yu Yuanzheng put their clothes and a quilt under Shangguan Ru's body to reduce vibration.
The carriage started quickly.
Chunlei drove the car himself.
They were on an official land, which was relatively flat.
The carriage was running very fast.
Yu Yuanzheng and the two maids tried their best to support Shangguan Ru so that her body would not be shaken too violently.
Seeing that all the adults had cold faces, little Yue'er stopped making any noise and leaned obediently against Yu Yuanzheng's legs.
Shangguan Ru was bumped along the way and groaned from time to time.
Finally, we arrived at a small town after an hour.
The town was not too small. Yu Yuanzheng saw two pharmacies there, which made her feel a little relieved.
Stop directly in front of a drug store.
Chunlei immediately carried the person out of the carriage.
The waiter in the drugstore came out immediately when he saw a carriage parked at the door.
He was also shocked when he saw an arrow stuck in Shangguan Ru's chest.
"Hurry, follow me." The waiter led everyone into the inner room, an inner room specially used to treat patients' wounds.
An old doctor followed in.
The old doctor took one look and waved his hands.
"You should go to the county town. Our medical skills are not enough to cure this small place."
