Xiao Ran was facing the door, and the area below her neck was completely hidden in the water. Thanks to the bandits who were scared by the makeup on her face, they didn't go in to take a closer look.If they observe carefully, they will definitely find that the place where Li Ran's neck meets the water surface, the makeup has already started to fade away.

Xiao Ran, who was extremely nervous, didn't realize at all that Yin Zhan, who was pushed into the water by her and buried his head in front of his chest, was almost suffocated to death by his own chest.

Only when Granny Chen came in and said that the bandits had left, did Xiao Ran let go of the hands that were pressing on Yin Zhan's head.

"Cough...cough...cough..."

Without Xiao Ran's confinement, Yin Zhan poked his head out of the water, opened his mouth to breathe frantically, and then coughed frantically.Just now, she really almost died in Wenrou Township.But when he thought about the soft touch just now, Yin Zhan inexplicably felt that it was a luxurious way to die like this, right?Touching the warm water on his face, Yin Zhan met Li Ran's face with a blushing face, and then... After seeing that horrific face, all ambiguous thoughts withered in an instant.

"Xue...Miss Xue..."

"Ah...I'm sorry, they came in too quickly just now, I didn't have time to remind you..." Xiao Ran took off the inner garment that was used as a turban on his head, and then put it on again.It's just that the wet underwear was tightly attached to Xiao Ran's skin, and the flesh color from the thin underwear could be clearly seen.

Putting his face aside, Yin Zhan didn't look at Xiao Ran's face, but just stared at Xiao Ran's chest, shook his head and said it was okay.

"Girls, your house is too dilapidated, and you probably don't have any other clothes to change. My wife, I still have some old clothes at home. If you don't mind..."

"I don't mind you, Granny Chen, it was really thanks to you just now, you are really our savior!"

"Hey, savior or something... how can you be so exaggerated? Okay, I'll get the clothes first, you... Miss Xue, wash your face first?" After finishing speaking, Granny Chen sighed Seeing Xiao Ran's miraculous makeup skills, he muttered "it's scary" and walked away slowly.

After Granny Chen left, Xiao Ran didn't stay in the barrel either, she left directly from the barrel, told Yin Zhan to continue soaking first, then went to wash his face, and left the bedroom without looking back.She was so close to Yin Zhan just now, and she herself could feel the numbness coming from her chest, and her knees seemed to touch places that shouldn't be touched several times.

what--

As soon as Xiao Ran came out of the bedroom, he squatted down against the corner of the wall covering his face.With a long sigh, Xiao Ran gradually began to worry that if he "blasphemed" the Queen like that, she would take revenge on her!

In the bedroom, Yin Zhan looked at the back of Xiao Ran leaving, at the faintly visible flesh color under the drenched underwear, as well as the slender waist and upturned buttocks, the extinguished flame was ignited again.Listening to his heart beating like a drum, Yin Zhan hid in the water and slid across his inner thigh. After touching the sticky texture different from that of clear water, he gave a wry smile, then opened his hands to scoop up the water, and slapped it hard on his face.She is a majestic empress, but she was teased by a woman!The key point is that the woman didn't mean it!

Yin Zhan quietly soaked in the water for a while, trying to calm his heartbeat. Not long after, there was a conversation between Granny Chen and Xiao Ran at the door.When Xiao Ran came in with a pile of clothes, his whole body was wrapped tightly again.Yin Zhan stared at the rough linen clothes on Xiao Ran's body with regret, his hot gaze seemed to penetrate these vulgar clothes, and re-taste the beautiful scenery he had just seen. "Miss Xue, you... If you haven't wiped your body dry, just put on your clothes like this, and you will catch cold easily? Why don't you wait for me to come out and take a bath?"

"Wipe it." Xiao Ran always felt that he ate the Queen's tofu, so he avoided the Queen's sight with a guilty conscience, so he didn't realize that the Queen looked at him very differently. "Grandma Chen gave me two bath towels, and there is one left, girl, can you wipe it after you take a bath?"

"Oh...thank you." Seeing that his petty thinking could not succeed, Yin Zhan was a little unhappy, and also minded Xiao Ran's unfamiliar address. "Don't call me girl-by-girl. We've been together for so many days, so we can be regarded as friends who share weal and woe. My surname is Yin, and my name is Zhan. Why don't you just call me Ah Zhan from now on?"

Not only does the queen not blame herself for eating her tofu, she also wants to be friends with herself?

After hearing Yin Zhan's words, Xiao Ran's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but marvel at the queen's broad mind.

When Yin Zhan saw Xiao Ran's surprised appearance, he realized that he had accidentally revealed his real name, so he thought that Xiao Ran was surprised by his identity.

"I……"

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time, and fell silent at the same time.After a while, Yin Zhan coughed lightly, and said seriously to Xiao Ran: "Yes, I am the current queen, Yin Zhan." Facing Xiao Ran, she did not want to call herself "I".

"Eh..." Xiao Ran hesitated for a while, not quite understanding the queen's intention to reveal her identity suddenly.First of all, he wants to be friends with himself, and then reveals his identity, so what exactly is he doing?Forget it and forget about it, everyone has confessed their identities, don't you know what to do as a commoner?So, reluctantly, Xiao Ran bent his knees towards the queen, bowed and bowed in salute: "Minister...Xue Leifeng, I have met the queen." It's really troublesome, the queen might as well not reveal her identity!

As for Yin Zhan, seeing Xiao Ran salute so respectfully, his heart sank, and he regretted that he had confessed his identity.She didn't want Xiao Ran to create a greater gap between the two because of her identity.But at the same time, Yin Zhan didn't realize why Xiao Ran believed in his identity as queen so quickly.

"You...don't do this, this is not in the palace, you don't need to treat me like this..."

"Female girls don't dare!" Xiao Ran continued to kneel on the ground respectfully, seriously playing the role of a good citizen who respects the queen.

"Xue! Lei! Feng!" The more Xiao Ran behaved like this, the angrier Yin Zhan became. Just as she was about to order Xiao Ran to get up, she heard a "puchi" from Xiao Ran's mouth.

It turned out that Xiao Ran's respectful attitude towards the queen was just pretending, she was not from ancient times, so she didn't have the submissive mentality of ordinary people when facing the imperial power, so when she heard the queen angrily shouting "Learn from Lei Feng", she was too surprised The play was over, and I laughed out loud as soon as I couldn't hold back.

Hearing Xiao Ran's laughter, Yin Zhan also softened his face, and his anger also faded away. "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Female girls don't dare." After Xiao Ran laughed out loud, his heart was in a bad mood, so now facing the Queen's question, he continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Okay, stop pretending." Yin Zhan could tell now that Xiao Ran didn't have any awe of himself at all, because Xiao Ran's simple four-word answer could not hear a trace of fear at all, it was plain and flat. , just like dealing with yourself.But knowing that Xiao Ran is not afraid of him, Yin Zhan's mood is even better. "Get up and talk, it doesn't hurt to lie on your knees like this, I also feel uncomfortable watching it."

This time, Xiao Ran didn't show any politeness, and simply stood up.As a good modern young man receiving equal education, she really doesn't like this custom of kneeling down at every turn.

"What were you laughing at just now?"

Laughing at the name I made up myself, it sounds nice.Xiao Ran didn't dare to answer like that, so she could only keep silent.

"Could it be that it's stupid for me to stay in the barrel like this now?"

"No! How could it be?" Xiao Ran quickly raised his eyes and cast aside the naked queen who was sitting in the barrel, and then lowered his head with a blushing face. How could such a naked beauty be anything but stupid?If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "temptation".

Seeing Xiao Ran blushing, Yin Zhan's mood became even better. Seeing Xiao Ran's serious face with his head lowered and his eyes not daring to wander, Yin Zhan suddenly wanted to tease him. "Okay, I'm almost wrinkled in the wooden barrel, is it okay for you to wipe and dress me now?"

Yin Zhan originally wanted to make Xiao Ran more shy by teasing her, but he didn't think about it. After hearing her say "wrinkle quickly", Xiao Ran took the initiative to come over.

"It was my mistake, Your Majesty, I will check the wound for you now." Xiao Ran annoyed himself for his carelessness while undoing the gauze on Yin Zhan's shoulder.The Queen just hid in the water for so long to avoid the bandits, and the wound must have been soaked again. Today, she has repeatedly tossed and tossed, just hoping that the wound will not become inflamed again.

Yin Zhan leaned against the wooden barrel, turned his head slightly to look at Xiao Ran's earnest way of examining his wound carefully, his heart moved, and he blurted out and asked, "After I recover from my injury, will you come back to the palace with me?"

Xiao Ran paused, then continued to carefully dry the water stains on the wound with gauze.

Without Li Ran's answer, Yin Zhan continued to seduce Xiao Ran unwillingly: "I am the empress, and I have much more money than that of Li Ran. If you come back to the palace with me, you will have endless money in the future..."

"Your Majesty!" Before Yin Zhan finished speaking, Li Xiao Ran interrupted him rudely, "Come out of the bucket first? I'll help you dry your body so you can apply the medicine."

"...Okay." Yin Zhan, who still didn't get an answer, let Xiao Ran help him out of the barrel, and wrapped the bath towel around himself. For some reason, he looked at Xiao Ran's tightly pursed lips and downcast eyes, Zhan didn't have the courage to ask again, she always felt that Xiao Ran seemed unhappy.

After Xiao Ran changed Yin Zhan's medicine again, he started to get busy inside and out.Lunch hasn't been made yet, ginger soup has to be cooked for the queen, and the wet bedding and clothes need to be changed... Yin Zhan sat on a chair in a clean old sackcloth, watching Xiao Ran turning around in and out of the room for a while, feeling in his heart Feeling stuck.It's really strange, I am the empress, and I have been used to being served by others since I was a child, but how come I feel a little ashamed when I come to Miss Xue?I am ashamed that I don't know anything, I can't help anything...

Having no time to care about Yin Zhan's thoughts, after Xiao Ran cooked the ginger soup, he first served Yin Zhan a bowl to drink, and then drank a bowl himself.After a while, the rice was steamed, Xiao Ran cooked two side dishes, and Yin Zhan and Yin Zhan managed to finish a late lunch.In fact, Yin Zhan didn't feel that he was going to make up for this lunch at all. Although the two small dishes were simple, they were made by Xiao Ran, and they tasted delicious enough to whet the appetite.

It would be even better if he could follow him back to the palace and cook for himself every day.
