Sun Yan drew out the soft sword from his waist and rushed forward. With two moves, he forced the man to retreat three steps.

When he stepped back, his face was illuminated by the moonlight. Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows when she saw him.

Why is it him?

Mu Gu looked at the man in front of him with a gloomy expression.

This is a master. He has tried his best to kill those people before, but now he is just a spent force.

If I fight this guy again, I will definitely die here.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Mu Gu's angular face, but he still prepared for defense.

"Brother, we have no intention of disturbing you, and we are not with the people who are chasing us, so please don't misunderstand."

Sun Yan was like a tough pine tree, holding a soft sword and protecting Xiao Ruge steadily behind him.

A look of astonishment flashed across Mu Gu's face. After his eyes moved around Sun Yan twice, he looked at the person he was protecting in the shadow.

Seeing that she was petite and slender, I guessed that she must be a woman.

After weighing the pros and cons, he put away the sword in his hand and clasped his fist towards Xiao Ruge and the other man.

"I'm so sorry, the enemy was really holding on too tightly, I thought you were also the ones chasing me, so I acted rashly, please forgive me!"

Sun Yan smiled and also bowed to Mu Gu, "Okay, okay, brother, your injury is serious, we should find a place to bandage it as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he nodded to Mu Gu, turned around and walked back to the shadows.

Xiao Ruge thought for a moment, then took out two small porcelain bottles from her arms, one black and one white, and threw them to Mu Gu, deliberately lowering her voice.

"The black one is for external application, the white one is for internal consumption, and you can take no more than two pills at a time, and no more than four pills a day."

Mu Gu was stunned after taking the medicine bottle. Why did this voice sound familiar?

He was just about to ask who the other person was, but the two figures opposite him had already disappeared into the dense forest. He had no choice but to hold the porcelain bottle tightly, turn around and leave in a hurry.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xiao Ruge took Sun Yan on horseback and slowly headed towards the capital.

Sun Yan thought about it and finally asked, "Miss, do you know that person?"

Xiao Ruge was silent for a moment, "I guess we know each other! He is the seventh prince of the dynasty."

Sun Yan didn't expect that the person he met on the mountain was actually a prince, and his brows immediately frowned.

"Miss shouldn't have given him medicine."

Since Xiao Ruge has no interest in court disputes, he should try his best to avoid getting involved with the royal family, so Sun Yan mentioned this with some disapproval.

"It doesn't matter. I haven't spoken to him much. I was standing in the shadow of the tree before. I guess he didn't realize who I was."

In fact, there was another reason why Xiao Ruge saved Mu Gu. In his previous life, Lu Yu regained his status as a prince and led his troops to war. Mu Gu secretly attacked him and he almost died at the border.

This is also the reason why Mu Gu died so miserably later.

After all, Lu Yu is a very cunning person. He knew that it was Mu Gu who harmed him, so how could he not take revenge?

If I make good use of that opportunity in this life, will I let Lu Yu die directly at the border?

At this time, the sky was already turning pale. Some old farmers who had gotten up early to sell vegetables in the city had already lined up at the city gate, waiting for the gate to open so that they could enter the city.

Xiao Ruge and Sun Yan mixed in the crowd and soon entered the city.

Since she couldn't bring Sun Yan into the Xiao Mansion, she could only arrange for him to stay at the Changwei Escort Agency, which was her property. This would make it convenient for her to find Sun Yan if anything happened in the future.

Xiao Ruge took advantage of the fact that there were not many pedestrians on the street and ran quickly towards the Xiao Mansion.

After she jumped over the west wall into the Xiao Mansion, she carefully observed her surroundings and found nothing unusual, then returned to Ruyi Garden.

Bai Zhi hadn't slept all night, and she stayed in the house nervously. When she heard a slight noise at the back window, she hurried over and asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

Hearing Xiao Ruge's reply in a low voice, Bai Zhi quickly opened the window and watched her jump in nimbly.

"Miss, you are finally back. I was so worried! How was it? Did your trip go smoothly?"

Bai Zhi asked Xiao Ruge while her hands were not idle. She quickly closed the window and turned around to pour a glass of water for her young lady.

Xiao Ruge took the tea, drank it all, then wiped her mouth and gave Bai Zhi a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, everything will go well! Oh, by the way, help me pack up these herbs, and then go back to the kitchen to get an old duck. We will make old duck soup for lunch, and then ask Miss Five to come over and have lunch together!"

Xiao Ruge handed the collected herbs to Bai Zhi.

At this time, the old women and maids had already gotten up to sweep the yard, and the master and servant immediately fell silent.

Just then, someone knocked on the gate of Ruyi Garden, and Xiao Mingyue's voice came from outside the door.

"Second sister, are you awake yet? Fifth sister and I are here to look for you to go pay our respects to grandma together!"

Xiao Ruge frowned and quickly took off her nightgown.

Bai Zhi also wanted to help, but was stopped by her. She pointed outside with her scallion-white finger. Bai Zhi immediately understood, put the herbs away, turned around and walked out.

"The fourth young lady is here so early. My young lady hasn't even woken up yet!"

"It's already this late, and Second Sister hasn't gotten up yet? You're such a sleepyhead. Let me go and wake Second Sister up!"

Xiao Mingyue said to Xiao Qianqian beside her with a smile, a calculating look flashed in her eyes, and she lifted her skirt and rushed into the dormitory.

"Second Miss, please wait. It's still early and there's no rush to pay respects to the old lady. Why don't I go first..."

"Get lost! I'm here to see your master, when is it your turn as a slave to make excuses here? You're really rebellious!"

Xiao Mingyue glared and reached out to hit Bai Zhi.

Xiao Qianqian frowned slightly when she saw this, stepped forward to stop her, and said softly: "Why is Fourth Sister so angry? We are indeed a little early, why don't we let Bai Zhi go and call Second Sister, so as not to hurt the relationship between us sisters."

Xiao Mingyue glared at Xiao Qianqian with disdain. She looked down on this sickly girl. Just as she was about to scold her, Xiao Ruge's door was opened from the inside.

Xiao Ruge was wearing a white nightgown, with her long hair hanging down behind her head in a somewhat messy manner. She was yawning and glancing at the people at the door, and it was obvious that she had not yet woken up.

After seeing clearly who was standing at the door, she leaned lazily against the door frame, crossed her arms over her chest, and hummed softly.

"Who was I thinking, yelling here so early in the morning? It turned out to be my fourth sister! Fourth sister, I, as your elder sister, am not saying anything bad about you. You are already of marriageable age, why are you still such a scumbag? If the news gets out, which good family will be willing to marry you?"

Xiao Ruge directly put a big hat on her for being ignorant of etiquette, which made Xiao Mingyue look ugly.

"Second sister, how can we girls in the boudoir have the nerve to talk about marriage all day long? If someone hears this, we will be laughed at!"
