Duan Ren was about to follow, but Wu Hao stepped forward to hold him back and asked in a low voice: "Leader, have you offended the little princess again?"

Previously, I could feel that the little princess was not very satisfied with the leader, and would occasionally instruct him to do small things.

But like tonight, there has never been a time when someone wanted to guard the door all night long.

Not to mention that the team leader has to be responsible for surveying and protecting the entire road the next day. Staying alert is the most important thing to rest.

Even if someone else is guarding the door, everyone is still on the third shift. Who can stay up all night and continue on the road the next day?

When Wu Hao heard the little princess's instructions, he knew that the little princess was angry again and deliberately tormented the leader.

He was more tactful and advised the leader, "Although the little princess is a bit squeamish, she is a very nice person. If you speak to her less harshly, use a softer tone to coax her, and we will have an easier time on the road."

If he could be coaxed, why would he come here.

Duan Ren ignored Wu Hao and said, "Take your brother down and have a good night's rest. In addition, the woman will send someone to watch."

Wu Hao became serious, "You suspect..."

"It's always good to be more careful."

"Yes."

After Duan Ren gave the instructions, he followed him up to the second floor and stood at the door of Shen Qinglan's room.

He is tall, with broad shoulders and a majestic back that stands out on the Korean paper.

Shen Qinglan sat in the room, looking at his back for a moment, and finally looked away and looked at the candy bag on the table.

Duan Ren refused her candy today, which made her feel embarrassed, so she bought one for everyone when she came back, so that it would not appear that she only bought it for Duan Ren.

But in fact, she still had an extra portion in her hand.

As long as he could reflect upon his return and get along with her normally, she planned to give him what she had.

Unexpectedly, what I saw when I came back was that his love affair was overflowing.

She felt that she was unhappy just because Duan Ren could be gentle to strangers, but was cold and distant to her alone.

It was that kind of differential treatment that made her uncomfortable.

Shuangman poured a glass of water for the princess, but couldn't help but said something more, "Princess, we have to go on the road tomorrow. Do you really want Duan Ren to stay overnight?"

Shen Qinglan said: "He is a secret guard. Is it normal to guard him all night?"

Didn't he always have to protect himself? Then it would be okay if she gave him a chance to protect him all night long and let him fully perform his duties.

Shuangman knew that the princess was angry.

She had been following the princess for so long, how could she not understand the princess's thoughts at all.

But she was really surprised that the princess cared more about a guard than she thought.

This reminded her of what Duan Ren said when he buckled her horse's hoof. At that time, she thought he was being sentimental, but she didn't expect that he could see farther and clearer than they did.

Shuangman sighed silently in her heart, and finally went down to prepare dinner without saying anything more.

As the sun sets and the night falls, the inn becomes lively and the number of guests increases.

There were figures walking back and forth in the corridor, but that figure barely moved.

Just like a pine and cypress standing there, it cannot be blown down by the wind or collapsed by the rain. It is tough and upright and attracts people's attention.

Shen Qinglan looked away and looked at the table full of dishes, losing her appetite.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Wu Hao came to report that the unconscious girl had woken up.

As soon as I woke up, I hurriedly came to thank you.

Shen Qinglan hesitated and asked Shuangman to bring the person in.

The girl had already washed herself up, and her eyes were sparkling.

She also changed into plain clothes. She didn't know who got the clothes for her, but Shen Qinglan thought it was most likely Duan Ren.

After all, he is the most attentive.

The girl's name was Wushuang. When she saw her benefactor, she quickly knelt down and thanked him repeatedly.

Shen Qinglan looked at Wushuang carefully and frowned suddenly.

The first time she bumped into Duan Ren at the inn Wushuang, she just glanced at him from afar and remembered that he looked good.

The second time she stood at the door and looked away, until now she was closer and could clearly see the girl's features, but Shen Qinglan felt familiar for no reason.

"Girl, have we met somewhere before?"

Wushuang smiled and said, "I've seen it before. At that inn on the outskirts of the mountain, I accidentally bumped into your guard."

No, it felt like a longer realization.

But Shen Qinglan couldn't remember it and didn't bother to dwell on it, so she asked why Wushuang ended up like this.

Wushuang cried when he talked about his experience.

She said that she followed her wet nurse to Xiangcheng to seek refuge with her relatives because of her family's financial difficulties.

As a result, they encountered bandits on the road. The maidservant and the boy ran away to death. The wet nurse was killed because she ran to protect her.

Wushuang didn't run away either and was caught by the bandits.

Because she was good-looking and virginal, the bandits who robbed them were more greedy for money, so they sold Wushuang to Ren Yazi.

Wushuang was clever and pretended to be resigned to his fate along the way. Only then did he find an opportunity to escape at the inn, causing the scene that Shen Qinglan saw.

After hearing this, Shen Qinglan let out a faint sigh. She didn't know if it was because she had read too many scripts, but she thought this kind of thing was too dramatic.

But Wushuang spoke in detail and cried with hatred in his eyes.

When she mentioned that those bandits killed her wet nurse and maid, she gritted her teeth in hatred and was not vague at all.

If I hadn't really experienced this, I probably wouldn't have had such strong emotions.

This made Shen Qinglan less suspicious, so Shuangman helped her up, comforted her a few words, gave her some silver coins, and asked her to go to Xiangcheng.

In fact, they also passed by Xiangcheng, but Shen Qinglan didn't want to take anyone with him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Shuang refused to ask for the money, knelt down, and made an unkind request.

"Miss, I'm very grateful for your kindness, but even if I have some money, I can't keep it alone. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Xiang Cheng to get there. Besides, Xiang Cheng's cousin's family may not want to see me..."

She was full of bitterness and looked like it was hard to talk about the past.

"Miss, I'm so lucky to be saved by you. Wushuang doesn't want to do anything else. He just wants to repay Miss's kindness first."

"Wushuang knows how to do laundry, sweep, make the bed, and tie hair and make up. If Miss doesn't mind, Wushuang is willing to follow Miss and work as a slave to repay you."

Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows when she heard this. It was normal for her to have such concerns. It would be really difficult for a woman to travel if she didn't have the skills and good looks.

But it's a pity that Shen Qinglan never uses external maids.

But he didn't refuse. Instead, he looked at Duan Ren, who had been standing behind him, and asked, "Leader Duan, do you think it's appropriate to bring one more person on the road?"

Duan Ren handed over his hand and said very directly, "I think it's inappropriate."

Shen Qinglan was a little surprised. She thought he would say something and listen to her, but she didn't expect him to say such a thing.

But it fits his responsible look.

Shen Qinglan pretended to be helpless and said: "I'm sorry, I don't have a shortage of maids around me for the time being."

Wushuang was a little disappointed, with tears in his eyes, as if he had been abandoned, and was pitiful.

But he still smiled, thanked him again and again, and finally collected his money and left.

Shen Qinglan watched her leave, always calmly.

With such kindness, she thought she had done her best.

After all, she was not really an innocent girl who had just left the palace. She had experienced the struggle between Lu Xingyi and Gu Changling.

He is naturally wary of people, and no matter how much kindness he shows, he will not send it out randomly.

After this delay, the food became cold and Shen Qinglan lost her appetite, so she asked Shuangman to withdraw and prepare water for bathing.

She is tired.

Now I just want to take a good bath, take a nap, and have enough energy so that I won't have random thoughts.

But when she actually finished taking a bath and lay on the bed, she was no longer sleepy.

Because the figure next to the door is too conspicuous.

She didn't know if the secret guards were all stupid.

Although he was told to stay overnight, he was not allowed to eat, drink, or go to the toilet.

But from the time he was on guard until now, he really hasn't left for a moment.

Shen Qinglan was a little irritable, tossing and turning on the bed until midnight, and finally sat up and opened the door.
