The evil first wife who wears a book, and the future first assistant wants to kill me every day

Duan Ren's life was finally quiet.

When he got used to the silence and felt that he would never have anything to do with Shen Qinglan again, fate made a joke.

Shen Qinglan was going back to Yiran, but because of the Nanping War, the emperor appointed him as the leader of the escort team.

The emperor said that on the one hand, they were familiar with each other, and the little princess would not be bored on the way.

On the one hand, his ability is reliable, and the little princess has seen it before, so she appointed him.

But Duan Ren still found it strange.

There are so many guards in the palace, and most of them are talented and capable. Why is it him?

How did he know that these were all recommended by Gu Changling.

Who would have thought that when Shen Qinglan was sent back that night, it was not Yunwei who arranged it, but Gu Changling.

How smart he is, he just looked at the two of them and saw something fishy. Thinking about his wife's potential as a matchmaker, he ordered a matchmaker...

Of course this is something to talk about later, haha.

Even if Duan Ren didn't understand, he could only accept the order because he had no right to resist it.

After learning that he was the escort, Shen Qinglan had no objection and continued to talk and joke with him as before.

"Hey, little man, please take care of me along the way."

But Duan Ren can no longer be the same as before.

He didn't want to let unnecessary emotions arise in his heart.

I don’t want to be someone else’s teasing either.

Regardless of whether Shen Qinglan is intentional or unintentional, or whether he is being sentimental, it is best to cut off unnecessary and fruitless things as early as possible.

So Duan Ren stopped joking with her, bowed respectfully, replied, and maintained the responsible attitude that a guard should have.

Other than that, there is no extra traffic.

He originally thought that Shen Qinglan wouldn't care too much about a guard's mood.

The reason why she occasionally made things difficult for him on the road was probably because she felt that she was being treated coldly by a guard and had lost face, so she deliberately tried to regain her appearance as a little princess.

But he didn't expect that she would ask so directly because she was drunk tonight.

It makes people feel...she seems to care, not as heartless as imagined.

Duan Ren stopped recalling and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

There was a long silence, as if the wind had been stranded here.

Shen Qinglan's eyelashes trembled, and she suddenly pushed him away. Finally, she couldn't hold it back anymore and cried out.

The little princess grew up delicate and delicate. She has always made fun of others and ignored them. Who dares to ignore her?

But there was a guard who just ignored her.

She also wants to save face.

How could she have the nerve to ask a guard why he ignored her? It was as if she wanted him to ignore her and wanted to play with him.

I can pretend to be free and easy on the surface, but I am always very concerned about it on the inside.

Finally, in this rare quiet and suitable atmosphere, she asked this question under the influence of drunkenness, hoping that he would tell the reason, and hope that the two of them could return to their past.

But he didn't expect that after a long silence, there was still no explanation or even a word of comfort.

That made Shen Qinglan feel that she was hated!

She didn't understand and cried hard, "Did I do something wrong?"

"Did I laugh at you too much?"

"What exactly did I do wrong..."

"Why are you ignoring me?"

Shen Qinglan seemed to have never suffered such grievances before, her nose was red and her tears were falling from her eyes.

Duan Ren was stunned for a moment because he didn't expect that she would cry over this matter.

After all, she has the best face, always pretends to be strong in front of outsiders, and never cries.

But now, she is crying even more sadly than that time when she stepped on shit.

After all, it was her crying that made Duan Ren relent.

Maybe...she is just an arrogant little princess who wants to be played with and coaxed. She has never thought about that much.

Duan Ren finally raised his hand and wanted to touch her head. Suddenly he heard someone shouting, "The water has escaped, the water has escaped. Everyone, run away."

Duan Ren immediately looked towards the inn, and sure enough, smoke billowed out and flames burst out.

Shen Qinglan also looked over, and the direction of the fire happened to be towards her room.

Shuangman and Jiang Mian are both over there.

Shen Qinglan was about to run over immediately, but was suddenly stopped by Duan Ren, "Don't go, there is something fishy about this fire."

A normal inn would have someone patrolling the inn to worry about night fires. After all, if something happens, you will go to jail.

Especially tonight, their inn is the most luxurious in Tang County, so their defense will only be better.

So it must not have been an accident, but someone deliberately set the fire on fire.

"And the fire is too big. It won't help if you go there. Jiang Mian and Shuangman are very skilled, and Wu Hao and the others are not weak either. As long as you are not inside, it will not be a problem for them to escape."

"Just stay with me and don't go anywhere."

Shen Qinglan also felt that there was something fishy about the fire. Looking at the direction of the fire, it was not difficult to guess that the target was her.

At this critical moment, she couldn't think of anyone who wanted to kill her. She just looked at the inn's fire with worry.

Because the fire is really too big.

And so far, no guards have been seen coming out.

Shen Qinglan could no longer squat, "If this fire is really aimed at me, it will definitely not allow Jiang Mian, Shuangman, and Wu Hao to escape smoothly."

"No, I have to go to the backyard and take a look. The frost-covered window of the room faces the backyard. If she wants to escape, she will definitely jump out of the window."

If Shuangman can escape, it will prove that they did not encounter obstacles in the inn.

Duan Ren was also worried, after all, there were so many brothers inside.

The two of them immediately went to the backyard of the inn.

But before leaving, Duan Ren held her hand and said, "There are too many people, and the princess can't let go of me no matter what."

This inn is not small in size, with three floors, upper, middle and lower floors. At this time, because of the fire, everyone was rushing out desperately. It was indeed extremely chaotic.

Shen Qinglan would not be pretentious at this time, and immediately held Duan Ren's hand, and followed him to the backyard with a hum.

But they forgot that the backyard was close to the cheap Datong Shop, where the largest number of people lived, and it was far more chaotic than the main entrance.

As soon as the two of them jumped over the wall, they were surrounded by a crowded crowd, pushing and shoving her. Duan Ren was afraid that she would be scattered, so he made a prompt decision and immediately protected Shen Qinglan in his arms.

Then he immediately hugged Shen Qinglan and retreated to the corner, at least that way his back would be safe.

After all, it is too chaotic now, and there are many factors for uneasiness. What if...

Before he could finish his analysis, the person in his arms suddenly gathered strength and pushed him away violently.

Duan Ren's eyes shrank and he was extremely shocked, but he immediately reached out to grab her hand.

"Shen Qinglan! Catch me!"

For the first time, he didn't call her princess or miss, but called her name almost like a roar.

But it was a step too late, his fingertips passed by, and he failed to catch her.

In an instant, the crowd dispersed them.

Duan Ren's heart suddenly sank, and he immediately ran towards the crowd, "Shen Qinglan, Shen Qinglan!"

He kept calling her, but there was no response.

Duan Ren jumped up and hurriedly jumped to a high place to look down from above.

The dense crowd was swarming in the dark night, like a surging undercurrent. Suddenly, a small sparkling purple light exploded in the night, and it disappeared in an instant.

ps: Happy May Day, friends~

In addition, it may be interrupted for two days, sorry~
