The dark guard led the horse in front of him, strode forward, and mumbled in response.

"Are you from the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion?" Shen Miaolan continued to ask.

"Yes. The dark guard replied as usual, still leading the horse in front.

"What's your name?" Shen Miaolan asked again.

The figure of the dark guard paused, and then continued to move forward, saying, "Subordinate Rong Qi." ”

The Dark Guards are like the shadows of the night, they hide in their hidden places and silently follow and protect their allegiance. Many secret guards stepped forward when their owners were in danger, even sacrificing their lives to save their masters. But their owners didn't know what they looked like, and they wouldn't even think to ask for their names. Shen Miaolan suddenly asked his name, making Rong Qi feel respected for the first time, like an upright person.

Shen Miaolan actually didn't think much about it, the inherent thinking of modern people is that everyone is equal. Therefore, Shen Miaolan does not have a deep-rooted concept of master and servant, and when she meets new people, she just politely gets to know each other. Knowing that he was from the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, he was more assured of his safety.

The road was bumpy and injured. At this moment, he finally settled down, and his tense nerves were instantly relaxed. Shen Miaolan lay on the horse's back, a little drowsy.

When she woke up again, she was already lying on a small wooden bed. On the small table at the head of the bed, the residual lamp was like a bean, and the lark was dozing off little by little on the edge of the bed.

Shen Miaolan got up slightly, and this slight movement woke up the lark. Seeing that Miao Lan woke up, she said happily, "Girl." You're awake. ”

Shen Miaolan nodded, grabbed the lark's hand and checked it up and down, and saw that she was only injured with some scratches, and there were no major wounds, so she was relieved. He asked, "Aren't you hurt, are you?

There was a layer of mist on the vines under the lark's eyes, and he choked and nodded. "Everyone is fine, Princess Showa slept next door, because the maids around the princess were separated, so now Yunying is taking care of her. Gu Shizi was slightly injured. The wound has been treated. Also rested. Hello everyone, is the girl's wound still painful?"

Finally there was no danger, Shen Miaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed her strength by holding the lark's hand. "I don't hurt that much anymore. Don't worry if it's okay. What time is it?"

"It's almost dawn. Let's sleep a little longer, girl. Shizi said. Those people are afraid that they will turn back again, and they will enter the city tomorrow while the day is dawning. The lark helped Shen Miaolan lie down and tucked the quilt for her.

Shen Miaolan made a mistake in the wrong body. He made a vacant space and patted him, "You have kept watch all night, so you can sleep for a while." ”

The lark was flattered and hurriedly waved his hand to excuse himself. "Girl, this is a slave. ”

"It doesn't matter," Shen Miaolan stretched out her hand to pull the lark, "It's inconvenient to go out, so you don't have to stick to those false courtesies." Lie down, sleep well and take care of me tomorrow. ”

The lark looked at the empty seat on the bed, a little hesitant. In the end, there is a difference between master and servant, she doesn't dare to be abrupt. But looking up at Miaolan's sincere gaze, I felt a warm current flowing through my heart. The girl was so kind to her, but she was jealous when she saw the girl protecting the princess in the carriage. The lark was very ashamed, lowered his head and shirked again, "The slave maid is guarding the girl." ”

Shen Miaolan couldn't help but pull her up, covered the quilt, and stopped her struggle. "Sleep!"

After speaking, Gu Zi closed his eyes.

Now that the lark has already laid down, it is difficult to get up again. He put his arms under the quilt and closed his eyes in peace.

Shen Miaolan listened to the even breathing of the lark on the side, smelled the faint smell of mold from the quilt, and fell asleep groggily.

When it was dawn on the second day, Miaolan was dressing up, and Princess Showa ran in in a hurry. Seeing that Miaolan's ears were bandaged, she covered her mouth and held back her tears. After a while, he said, "Does it hurt?"

Miao Lan smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't hurt, it's just faster to bandage it like this." ”

Showa held Shen Miaolan's hand and looked sincere, "Cousin, Showa's life was saved by you." From now on,......"

Before Showa could finish speaking, Shen Miaolan interrupted her, "The princess calls me a cousin, and she treats me as a sister." It is only natural for an older sister to protect her younger sister. Besides, it was originally the danger that you encountered when you accompanied me out. Either way, I should save you. ”

Showa is the emperor's daughter, and she originally wanted to say that no matter what Shen Miaolan wanted, she would beg the emperor for Miaolan. But Miaolan's words made her feel a little ashamed.

Shen Miaolan saved her out of affection, not because she was a princess. Showa sniffed and burst into laughter, "I want to tell my father that my sister will be a princess and live in the palace with me." ”

Shen Miaolan reached out and rubbed Showa's hair. This silly girl, where is it so easy for Princess Enfeng.

"Princess, Gu Shizi of the Zhenguo Mansion sent someone to ask if you want to eat alone upstairs or in the hall downstairs. Yun Ying pushed the door from the outside, forcibly suppressed the urge to step forward to see Shen Miaolan, and said to Princess Showa in a proper manner.

"Let's bring it up, my cousin is injured, and it's not good to go to the noisy place below to eat. Showa commanded.

"No need," Shen Miaolan waved her hand, "It's not a major injury, if the princess wants to go down, I will accompany the princess to go down." ”

For the little princess Showa who has never been out of the house, it should be a very special experience to have the opportunity to sit in the lobby and dine with all kinds of people. Shen Miaolan didn't want to ruin her interest because of herself.

A hint of surprise flashed in Showa's eyes, and then he was a little discouraged. "But my cousin's hurt ......"

"Just wear a bib. Shen Miaolan smiled, turned around and told the lark to go to the baggage to find a bib.

Yun Ying seized the opportunity, grabbed Shen Miaolan's hand, and asked with a slight cry, "Girl, how is your injury, Gu Shizi said that he sent someone to ask for a doctor, but he hasn't come yet, and he is really in a hurry to die slave." ”

Shen Miaolan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, I was naughty when I was a child, and I always bumped into it, so it doesn't matter." ”

Here, the warbler and the lark are talking, and Showa urges the lark to find a bib. When he was busy, Gu Qingping brought someone food up and put it on the small wooden round table near the window.

Princess Showa looked at Gu Qingping in surprise, got up and asked, "Shizi, ...... this?"

Gu Qingping hugged his fists and saluted, "Now is the meal time, there are too many people eating downstairs, I am afraid that I will collide with the princess." Qing Ping was good at making an opinion, brought the meal up, and invited the princess and Miss Shen to eat upstairs. ”

Where is this afraid that the princess will be collided, obviously ordering the princess. Princess Showa tilted her head to see the bustling crowd downstairs, and glared at Gu Qingping with some unwillingness. "The food is cold, and we're going to go down and eat hot. ”

"Don't eat overheated food in the summer. Gu Qingping's expression was calm, and he looked sideways at Shen Miaolan. (To be continued......)
