After Zhao Han and Shen Xuerou separated, Shen Xuerou returned to the inn alone.

Suddenly, she was flustered, as if after separating from Zhao Han, remembering Zhao Han's suspicion of her, her heart was aggrieved and uneasy, an extremely contradictory psychology, she couldn't help it anymore, she walked into the room and began to pounce on the bed, buried her face in the quilt, and began to cry loudly.

This is a person from Sword City!

There was no way she could betray Sword City, because that was the place where she was born and raised.

But she didn't want to betray Zhao Han, for some reason, after she came out of Sword City, she felt like she had gained freedom, this was a feeling that she had never had before, and she would not have betrayed Zhao Han.

Tomorrow is the day when Shen Xuerou agreed to pass the book to the Sword City Lord Feige, and she is now in a dilemma, not knowing what she should do.

After a while, a maid took a basin and walked in, seeing Shen Xuerou like this, she was very nervous at first, causing the water in the basin to start rippling non-stop.

"Miss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to see you like this."

The maid nervously withdrew, carefully holding the basin, bowing her head and not daring to raise it again, and said in a voice as if frightened.

Squeeze the basin tightly in your hand.

Hearing the voice, Shen Xuerou slowly pulled her head out of the quilt, then looked at the maid standing outside the door, and said coldly: "Who let you in without my summons?" ”

Being frightened by Shen Xuerou's words, the maid was frightened, and immediately said very nervously: "Miss, the slave knows that she is wrong!" ”

Immediately knelt down, and said without raising his head: "Miss, the slave maid saw that the eldest lady hadn't come back for a long time, and I was also anxious, so I came over to take a look, I really didn't mean to offend you, and I asked the eldest lady to punish you." ”

"Presumptuous!"

Shen Xuerou said angrily.

The maid seemed to be frightened, and the basin in her hand was held for a long time, so frightened, the whole basin of water fell to the ground with a bang, and the maid's body was also splashed!

She was very flustered in her heart, and immediately kept apologizing: "Miss, I'm sorry!" Sorry ......"

At this time, Shen Xuerou stared at the maid fiercely, wanting to sprinkle all the grievances in her heart on her.

But she didn't do it, she gritted her teeth fiercely, walked over angrily, kicked the maid to the ground, and said angrily: "I can't even do this little thing, what else do I have to keep you?" ”

These words really scared the maid!

That's what it means to kill her!

The maid immediately explained: "Miss, I know that you have encountered difficulties, and we may not be able to go back to Sword City in the future, so it is better that we will not go back in the future!" You can live here as well. ”

Hearing this, Shen Xuerou was a little surprised at first, she didn't expect this little maid to know a lot.

turned to anger and said, "Shut up! You dare to inquire about my affairs, I don't think you want to live anymore! ”

It's all a death anyway!

The maid decided to let go and said, "I didn't inquire about you, and now you are so sad, Miss, it is precisely because of this?" You escaped from Sword City that day, and now that you have come out, it's better not to go back, if you want to go back again, you will definitely be forced to marry someone you don't like. ”

Shen Xuerou pulled out her sword, pointed at the maid, and said, "Get out!" Or I'll kill you right now!" ”

The maid was immediately scared half to death, slowly stood up, lowered her head and retreated, for some reason she couldn't figure it out, Shen Xuerou suddenly didn't plan to kill her!

In her heart, she was a little surprised!

Not long after, several other maids were summoned by Shen Xuerou, and after cleaning the water in the room thoroughly, Shen Xuerou ordered the maids to call the maids who had not arrived.

"Miss, her name is Nightingale."

"Humph! What a strange name, let her change her clothes and come over as soon as possible, I have something to say. ”

At this time, in Shen Xuerou's heart, this maid called Nightingale is worthy of her attention.

"Yes, Miss." All the maids replied cautiously, and then exited the room.

In the depths of Shen Xuerou's heart, she had high expectations for this maid named Nightingale.

The nightingale is a very intelligent, alert girl.

Shen Xuerou knew that the arrival of the nightingale would bring her some important news and help.

After a while, the nightingale walked into the room, the nightingale first lowered her head slightly, and then knelt on the ground to Shen Xuerou after luggage, and said, "What do you want from the eldest lady?" ”

She was wearing a pale green dress with a smile on her face, which looked very fresh and natural.

Shen Xuerou beckoned her to approach, and then asked straight to the point, "Nightingale, what else do you know?" ”

Nightingale replied respectfully: "Miss, I have been serving you all day, and I don't know what is going on outside, and I hope that Miss will not embarrass the slave." ”

The nightingale lowered her head.

Hearing this, Shen Xuerou frowned.

I really don't know who to tell about some things in my heart, this maid called Nightingale seems to be a little clever, but now Shen Xuerou will not fully trust her, after all, she has not been tested.

"Okay, since you don't say it, I don't have to be polite to you anymore!" Shen Xuerou pulled out her sword again and said fiercely against the nightingale's throat.

Her intentions, and obviously, were not to kill the Nightingale, but to measure her guts.

In the nightingale's heart, she also knew that the eldest lady would definitely not kill her, so she said: "I really don't know what is going on outside, as for what I said just now, I also saw you so sad and speculated, don't embarrass me." ”

At this time, although Shen Xuerou didn't trust her very much, she still decided to tell the nightingale about the hardships in her heart, and took the sword back, Shen Xuerou said indifferently: "You get up and talk!" ”

"Yes, thank you, Miss!" After the nightingale stood up.

Shen Xuerou handed a letter in her hand to the nightingale and said, "This is the letter I plan to send to the City Lord of Sword City, you see what's wrong, tomorrow is the day to deliver the letter." ”

The nightingale took the letter in her hand, read it carefully, and said, "Miss, no! ”

Shen Xuerou frowned and said, "Why not?" ”

Nightingale said: "Since the eldest lady has decided to stay in Zhao Country and stay here forever, don't think about sending information to Sword City again, this is good for you, if people with ulterior motives know, especially if the prince Zhao Han knows, it will inevitably cause death, I don't think I really need to pay attention to the affairs of Sword City." ”

Shen Xuerou frowned and said, "What do you mean, are you asking me not to have any contact with Sword City anymore?" ”

Nightingale nodded and replied: "That's exactly what it means, the eldest lady was in Sword City before, how could anyone have thought about it for you, the city lord still wants to marry you to the Demon Domain, is this the result you want?" ”

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Shen Xuerou finally let go of the obsession of sending a message to the City Lord of Sword City, and said softly: "But no matter what, the City Lord of Sword City is also my father, although he forced me to marry into the Demon Domain, but it is also for my good!" ”

The nightingale looked at Shen Xuerou helplessly, sighed and said, "Miss, why do you deceive yourself? You also know that the people in the Demon Domain are fierce and cruel, if you marry into the Demon Domain, it will simply make you fall into the mouth of the tiger, how can you be happy? ”

Shen Xuerou listened to the nightingale's words, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Nightingale was right, but she couldn't let go of her affection for the city lord, closed her eyes, and thought about the contradictions and entanglements in her heart.

Nightingale looked at Shen Xuerou's painful expression, and couldn't bear it, so she said: "Miss, you should now think clearly about what you really want, whether to marry a stranger, or to find a true love and happiness, and let yourself live well." ”

Shen Xuerou opened her eyes, looked at the nightingale and said, "Nightingale, I know that you are for my good, but I can't give up my family affection for the city lord, but I also understand that if I marry into the Demon Domain, not only will I not be happy, but I will also put myself in danger." ”

Nightingale listened to Shen Xuerou's words, nodded slightly, and said, "Miss, it's good that you can figure it out, so what should we do now?" ”

Shen Xuerou took a deep breath, the nightingale's words were asked with an answer, and Shen Xuerou also had the answer in her heart, so she said, "Bring the letter!" ”

After receiving the letter, Shen Xuerou put the letter on the lamp and burned it, and said: "In the future, I will never pass any information to the city lord, but we are not a long-term solution, one day, my father will ask someone to find him." ”

The nightingale carefully observed Shen Xuerou's face for a while, and then said: "You don't have to think about this, just let them come over and talk about it, take a step, look at it again, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, it is better than passing the information to the city lord, making the prince Zhao Han suspect us, and putting us in danger!" ”

Shen Xuerou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, she knew that the nightingale was right.

The most important thing for them now is to protect themselves, not to worry about the suspicion of the city lord or the crown prince.

"Nightingale, you're right, you will be my personal maid in the future, try to help me inquire about more news, I'm tired now, you go out and I'll sleep for a while, no one is allowed to disturb me without my consent."

The nightingale smiled a sly yes, and then exited, closing the door softly and leaving.

"In the future, I, Nightingale, will be able to know some things about Zhao Guo more closely, haha, eldest miss, you can't imagine that what I said is completely to cover yourself, although you can't send letters to the Sword City Lord anymore, but I can."

After the nightingale muttered to herself, she returned to her cramped residence, and according to what Shen Xuerou wrote just now, she wrote it down completely, ready to pass it on to the city lord, and signed it as - Shen Xuerou!
