"What do you mean? You think I'm a burden to you?" Gu Yunru straightened her chest disapprovingly. After all, she was a think tank and could give them advice. Why was it that in their eyes, women were like a troublesome vase?
Gu Yunru was very unhappy and had to prove her value, so that they would worship her and submit to her wisdom. As she thought about it, Gu Yunru began to hold the reins tightly and drive the horse on the road.
Rong Zhen deliberately fell into the trap and failed to catch anyone so that the other party would let down their guard. After they exchanged transaction locations, they attacked again and caught them all in one fell swoop.
When Cheng Shaoyuan and Gu Yunru arrived, they had both been arrested. They didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Gu Yunru was also shocked when he saw this scene.
The scene was crowded with people. She didn't expect that Rong Zhen had already made an arrangement and even hid it from her. She fell off the horse and saw Rong Zhen with a dark face, looking coldly at Cheng Shaoyuan.
"What did you bring her here for?"
"It's the princess who wants to come."
He quickly distanced himself from the matter. If Gu Yunru had not insisted on coming with him, he would not have been soft-hearted and brought her to this place of trouble.
Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen angrily, thinking that he had planned to target Xie Changming. She didn't expect that he was lying in ambush at the place where these people were trading, and he didn't tell her in advance, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried.
She hid the worry on her face in her heart so that no one would notice. Rong Zhen just glanced at her lightly and had no intention of blaming her in public.
Seeing him leave, Gu Yunru breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at his gloomy eyes, which were as quiet and oppressive as ice, she subconsciously felt her scalp tingling.
Everyone started to escort these people back, including several officials who had committed crimes.
What Rong Zhen didn't know was that there were already pairs of eyes watching them nearby. They were the assassins trained by Xie Yihui, and they had already ambushed near the bamboo forest.
They were all ready to go, pulling their bows and arrows, with arrows already on the strings! "Be careful! There's an ambush." Rong Zhen had a keen sense, he could feel the murderous aura nearby, although they had set an ambush, there was no guarantee that no one would ambush them again.
Cheng Shaoyuan felt panicked, his horse screamed, and arrows from the vicinity rained down on them, and everyone started swinging their swords.
These people attacked from the dark. After a rain of arrows, they saw a group of tall horses surrounding them.
Gu Yunru was being hunted down and got separated from the group. Cheng Shaoyuan couldn't bear to watch her die, so he rode away Gu Yunru on horseback, but he was hit by two arrows. In order to save Cheng Shaoyuan's life, Gu Yunru managed to escape the pursuit and took Cheng Shaoyuan away for treatment.
The team was scattered as they chased after him, and soon their attention was disrupted. Rong Zhen did not fall into the trap, but this group of people fell into his trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
It was already dark by then, so Gu Yunru had no choice but to take Cheng Shaoyuan to a nearby cave to hide.
I don’t know if there are any magical medicines nearby, but the mountain next door is Wanshe Mountain, where some rare animals appear at night.
Gu Yunru was a little scared, so she picked up some branches nearby and started a fire in the cave. She was seriously injured and urgently needed medicine and disinfectant, but she didn't have these things on her, so she could only look around to see if there were any herbs that could be used.
It was pitch dark outside, and from time to time a few animals were running around in the grass. She was terrified, as she was most afraid of poisonous insects and the like, but she had to have close contact with them.
He brought the herbs and chewed them himself, then applied them on his wounds. Cheng Shaoyuan was sweating profusely from the pain, and the wounds began to ooze pus and stink.
"Just bear with the pain, it will be fine tomorrow."
Gu Yunru tried to comfort him softly, but unexpectedly Cheng Shaoyuan fainted from the pain.
It was not until the next morning when Cheng Shaoyuan opened his eyes and found that he was sleeping on Gu Yunru's thighs. The first thing he thought of was etiquette and shame, and he stood up quickly, but he didn't expect to agitate the wound. He grimaced in pain, sweated profusely, and his lips turned pale.
"What's wrong with you? Is the wound starting to open again?"
Gu Yunru didn't expect that this dull ancient man would react so strongly. If she wasn't afraid that he would sleep on the cold stone bricks and cause moisture in his body, she wouldn't have let him sleep on her legs.
The whole night passed without her getting a good night's sleep and she had to endure the harassment of these mosquitoes.
"Princess...thank you for saving my life."

Cheng Shaoyuan endured the pain in his body and bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making any weak sounds.
"What's the big deal? If I hadn't held you back, you wouldn't have been ambushed." Gu Yunru thought about how she was being hunted down at that time, and it was actually purposeful and targeted. Did she know that the letter of advice was in her hands?
However, the evidence has already been exposed, and there shouldn't be any assassins who would use this incident to make a fuss. It's just... it really doesn't feel good to be stared at.
"Princess, please don't say that." Cheng Shaoyuan felt a little guilty. Perhaps Gu Yunru was right. A woman without talent is virtuous, but a woman with talent is also worthy of admiration.
"Forget it, I'll go out and find something to eat." As soon as Gu Yunru stood up, she found that her legs could no longer move, as if there were two lead balls embedded in her body.
"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Shaoyuan asked with concern when he saw her pale face.
"I... seem unable to move." Gu Yunru groaned and hit her thigh, only to find that she had no feeling anymore. It must be because Cheng Shaoyuan slept too soundly on her last night and put all the gravity on her legs, so when she woke up in the morning she was like a piece of wood.
"This is all my fault." Cheng Shaoyuan lowered his head with a look of guilt. Gu Yunru waved her hand casually, "What's the point of talking about this now? Hurry up and help me rub it. We have to go back." After Gu Yunru said this, there was no distinction between men and women in her eyes at this time, but Cheng Shaoyuan's hand just stretched out, and before it touched her leg, he retracted it. Cold sweat kept dripping down her forehead, and she was actually stained with a layer of shyness.
"Hey, don't let your imagination run wild, okay? I just asked you to rub my legs. My legs are stiff now. How can we find our way back if we don't walk?"
