"Aren't we going to ride a horse today? Why are we dressed so formally?" Ruyan looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her crescent-shaped eyebrows were green without any makeup, her black bun was decorated with a flying phoenix hairpin, and she was wearing so many precious jewels and pearls. Although she looked much more elegant and luxurious, she seemed a little cumbersome.

"You don't understand this. Even when riding a horse, you still have to be careful. Look at how beautiful your eyebrows are. By the way, you haven't told me what you thought of yesterday's date. Did Brother Wu say anything that made you particularly angry?" Looking at Ruyan's confused expression and the refreshing minty scent on her body, she shook her head seriously.

"During yesterday's date, Ruyan felt that there was nothing wrong. Brother Wu was quite humorous, but the jokes he told were really not funny..."

After hearing Ruyan's words, Gu Yunru coughed twice in embarrassment. As expected, that guy was too smart for his own good. He took an emerald belt and tied it around her waist, and then the beautiful lady was sent out on a date.

Ruyan rode on the horse and walked side by side with Wu Liang to the peach garden in Taocheng, but suddenly two reckless men appeared. They wore straw scarves on their heads and seemed to have been observing for a long time. Wu Liang narrowed his eyes when he saw the two men suddenly rushing out.

My heart skipped a beat and I couldn't help but mutter to myself, these two people appeared too quickly. They haven't even entered the garden yet. Wasn't it agreed that the two thieves would appear after we entered?

The two thieves looked at the lovely Ruyan, who was really covered in jewels and had a gorgeous appearance, and couldn't help but wipe the saliva from the corners of their mouths.

"I built this road, I planted this tree, if you want to pass this road, leave the beauty here!" A man who spoke haltingly walked forward, holding a scimitar in his hand, with an extraordinary momentum, as if he was borrowing the power of the tiger, and he did not make people feel scared.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude!"

Wu Liang was bluffing, but his momentum was no weaker than these robbers!

Unexpectedly, seven or eight more bandits came, and they were dressed very strangely. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, didn't the girl say that she would only send two people? Why did she suddenly add so many people? Could it be that she wanted to show her majesty? But when he thought of the few moves of cat-like kung fu that Rong Zhen taught him last night, he was afraid that he would not be a match for these people. How to punch beautifully was also a test point. He thought of the girl's instructions that he must not be afraid of danger, because women like such men the most, and they will definitely feel very safe with him!

"Ruyan, don't be afraid. I'm here to protect you."

Ruyan wanted to go to the nearby area to get help, but she was surrounded by these robbers. Wu Liang rubbed his palms and looked at everyone, "I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" As soon as he finished speaking, the robbers laughed out loud with their teeth bared. This arrogant momentum seemed to be provoking a fight! Wu Liang took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and said, "You forced me to do this, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"

Before he finished speaking, he raised his fist and rushed forward. Ji Ruyan closed her eyes and heard a bang. It turned out that Wu Liang was knocked to the ground by the man in just a few hits. His face was bruised and swollen, and it was a horrible sight.

"Stop, stop now!" When Ruyan got off the horse, the robbers suddenly became bolder. Some of them even wiped their saliva, as if they had seen some rare treasure.

The other two robbers who arrived were about to go on stage, but they were dumbfounded when they saw the real robbers on the stage. They hurried back to the palace and told the news to the prince and princess. When Gu Yunru heard this, her heart sank, "Oh no, something bad has happened!" So she rushed to the scene with Rong Zhen and Ji Heng.

Ji Heng seemed very worried about Ji Ruyan's situation. He rode his horse all the way to Taohualing. The bandits were about to do something indecent to her. Fortunately, Ji Heng arrived in time and beat the guys to a pulp. He held Ruyan tightly in his arms without leaving a single piece of armor.

When the robbers saw that there were more people coming, they ran away. Rong Zhen sent people to chase them and find their lair at all costs.

"Ruyan, are you okay?" Ji Heng looked at Ruyan shivering in his arms, and felt very sympathetic. Wu Liang was beaten to the point of losing consciousness, one with big eyes and the other with small eyes. Gu Yunru looked at his panda eyes and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked someone to take him back to the mansion, and then looked at Ji Heng and Ji Ruyan. Could there be something wrong with these two people? After watching Ji Heng take Ruyan away, Rong Zhen rode up on horseback. Gu Yunru walked side by side with him and said, "How long have these two been in this situation? Did you know about it all along?"

Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen steadily, knowing that she would be able to detect any lie he told.

"That's right, the two of them have been like this for a while, so I told you yesterday about Shu'er..." Gu Yunru understood what was going on without Rong Zhen explaining it in detail, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"What should I do? My niece is actually with my good friend..." Gu Yunru thought of the saying "beware of fire, theft and best friends" which is not without reason. People's hearts are no longer the same, so we have to be on guard against everything.

Ji Heng hurriedly and nervously carried Ruyan back to the palace, while Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen arrived late and asked two imperial doctors in the palace to treat Wu Liang and others.

Before the matter here was resolved, bad news came from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother was preparing to depose the Queen, but unexpectedly, she was angered to death because of the matter of the Seventh Prince. The Queen was placed under house arrest in the palace and no one was allowed to see her.

Upon hearing such sad news, Rong Zhen and Gu Yunru went to the harem together and investigated the matter. Yin Zu cried inconsolably, and many princesses and princes knelt at the door of the Cining Palace, wailing continuously. Such funerals had happened one after another in the past few days and everyone was almost breathless.

"Empress Dowager..." Gu Yunru knelt at the door, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
