Ming Lanruo thought of the way he stared at her just now without knowing what he was thinking, and she instinctively became vigilant.
The scary look the other party looked at her was familiar yet unfamiliar.
"I have had a bad heart since I was a child. I must have scared the princess when I got sick." But the next moment the scholar lowered his head in embarrassment, and the alluring scarlet color in the corners of his eyes became fragile.
Ming Lanruo was a little dazed, maybe... it was her illusion.
This little scholar knew that she was not an ordinary person, so how could he dare to look at her with such lustful eyes?
She coughed lightly and said, "It's okay. I'll take your pulse when I have time."
The hidden scholar nodded and said softly: "I have prepared a secluded new room for you, and I have also prepared hot water. Will you come with me?"
Ming Lanruo pondered for a moment, she really didn't want to stay with Guan Hongye today.
She nodded: "Okay, thank you."
The two of them went downstairs together. There were many officers and soldiers downstairs, and the guests hid and did not dare to show their heads.
Some officers and soldiers who were drinking saw her coming out, their eyes lit up, they whispered to each other and laughed lustfully, not knowing what they were talking about.
That look made Ming Lanruo very uncomfortable. She turned around and left, and couldn't help but frown: "Aren't these people planning to leave?"
Scholar Yin suddenly raised his hand and held her sleeve, and whispered: "They said they didn't find the assassin, so they have to station themselves at the inn. You should be careful..."
Ming Lanruo turned to look at the scholar's low and pale expression and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, they don't dare to do anything."
Jinghe will come soon with the Queen Mother's orders.
The hidden scholar glanced at her and lowered his long eyelashes: "Yes."
Scholar Yin took her to a room deep in the corridor and opened the door: "Princess, please come in."
The room is quiet and elegant, the bedding is clean, and hot water has been installed in the tub behind the screen.
Ming Lanruo was very satisfied: "Very good."
This scholar is quite knowledgeable.
The hidden scholar hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I will look after the princess in the outer room, and you can take a bath in the inner room."
Ming Lanruo turned to look at him in surprise: "What did you say?"
"Lonely men and widows should not live together in the same room, but those officers and soldiers are down there, and I'm afraid they will break in again." The scholar sighed, lowered his head, and his white jade-like ears turned red.
Seeing how weak Ming Lanruo was, she probably didn't have the guts to do anything to herself.
Jing Ming's absence and those bastard officers and soldiers below also made her a little worried.
Ming Lanruo nodded at him politely: "Excuse me."
She turned around and pulled up the screen, began to undress and take off her belt, and hung her robes one by one on the screen.
Looking at the bucket full of hot water, she touched the water with her white feet, tested the water temperature, and stepped into the tub.
The warm hot water flooded her soft skin, and the comfort it brought made her sigh with satisfaction. She sat on the edge of the basin and began to wash her hair.
"Do you like it, Princess?" The scholar's gentle voice came from outside the screen.
Ming Lanruo narrowed her soft and bright eyes with satisfaction: "I like it, thank you for your hard work."
Very comfortable.
After a tiring day, the hot water relieves fatigue and calms the mind.
"You're welcome. Xiaosheng is also very happy to do something for the princess. I wonder if I can stay with the princess and serve you in the future?"
At the table outside the screen, the hidden scholar leaned elegantly and lazily on the table, taking out a knife to peel an apple.
He took his time to admire the slender beauty reflected on the screen, watching her take off her clothes.
The material of the screen is quite special. Once the light is on inside, you can see everything inside the screen clearly from the outside, but the people inside are unaware of it.
On weekdays, yamen such as Dongchang, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment often use this material as interrogation walls, so prisoners don't know there is anyone next door.
The dim candlelight casts an alluring soft light on Ming Lanruo's slender waist, and the water droplets sliding down her delicate and fragile butterfly bones are extremely alluring.
He licked the corners of his scarlet lips, and narrowed the corners of his long and slender eyes like a fox.
The beauty behind the screen knew nothing. She only frowned. This scholar wanted to seek refuge with her?
She hesitated: "This..." This chapter has been completed!
