I will protect you alone for the rest of my life.32
The inn deliberately picked a more remote one, and the whole package was packed, surrounded by orderly patrolling Janissaries, so you don't have to worry about safety.
After a few days of eating and sleeping, this will finally be able to take a good rest, and as soon as the team stopped, the ladies spontaneously went to the room to rest by the maids.
Although there was a scrub on the way, it was somewhat inconvenient outside, and even Gardena couldn't wait to take a hot bath.
Taking off her clothes and lying down, feeling the hot water spreading on her skin, the little girl leaned her head against the barrel and closed her eyes comfortably.
Lily of the valley carefully took care of her hair, sprinkled some petals and essential oils into it, and gave her a reassuring advice before leaving.
"County Lord, don't fall asleep in the bucket, it's easy to catch a cold."
Gardena sank her body and muttered vaguely.
Seeing this, Lily of the Valley sighed, and was only ready to come in and have a look later.
The little lord has always disliked serving, especially in this kind of intimate work, often there are no maids left in the room.
That is, Lily of the Valley grew up with her, and she was used to the little girl's temperament, so she would stay inside at this time to prepare for activities, and finally she had to quit.
Sure enough, just like Lily of the Valley worried, she fell asleep while soaking a certain little girl.
When Huo Lichi came to look for someone with a paper bag, he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.
Thinking that the palace people said that the little girl had never come out, he frowned, and pushed the door and walked in after secretly saying offended.
His eyes wandered around the room, and he paused slightly, and just as he was about to go over to see if he had gone out of the window, he keenly heard movement coming from the other side of the screen.
It's the sound of dripping water.
Huo Lichi's body stiffened.
Gardena, who woke up from her sleep, was dazed for a moment, staring at the ceiling in a daze with a pair of round eyes, and waited until her sanity returned, only to look out strangely.
"Lily of the valley?"
Huo Lichi pursed his lips, looking a little at a loss, but he still replied with a steady voice.
"It's me."
"Huh?" Gardena tilted her head, a little confused. "Departure? What are you doing here? ”
The young man lowered his eyes and looked at the paper bag in his hand and replied honestly.
"You said you wanted to eat preserves...... I'll put it in your room. ”
As he spoke, there was already a movement behind the screen, and it was clear that someone had risen from the barrel, and hearing this, Gardenia spoke casually.
"Then you wait for me."
With such a long distance and a screen in the way, Gardenia didn't think there was anything about it, so she just quickly dried herself and put on her underwear and ran out, not giving the other party a chance to react at all.
Huo Lichi only felt that the tips of his ears were a little hot, and when he hesitated whether to leave, a slender figure had already run over.
Gardena stopped in front of him, and naturally went to pick up the paper bag in his hand, opened it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Sweet, it's dried sweet potatoes.
Eating by herself, she didn't forget to generously feed her little brother.
"It's delicious, you can taste it too."
Huo Lichi looked away, trying to ignore the scenery in front of him, and lowered his eyebrows when he heard the words, which was rare to be a little embarrassed.
Before he could say anything, the other party had already reached his mouth, so he had to silently open his mouth and bite it.
Gardenia didn't seem to notice his embarrassment, and the distance between the two was a little close, so she faintly smelled the smell coming from the other party, not like incense, but it smelled inexplicably good.
Standing on tiptoe over and sniffing at his neck, the little girl asked sincerely.
"Did you just finish washing up? What essential oils are used? ”
Huo Lichi subconsciously took a step back, his long eyelashes trembling slightly.
"I'm going to patrol around, so I won't disturb the little county lord to rest."
