Yue Chanjuan looked at Zhong Ao Shuang for a moment before saying, "Stand up."

Zhong Ao Shuang stubbornly refused to get up, but continued to kneel on the ground, her forehead touching the ground: "Please, Princess Palace, your servant has failed in his duty and failed to protect the princess, scaring her is your servant's sin."

That hoarse voice caused Yue Chan's heart to move. His white face was covered in dust, and the white clothes he wore had long since been dyed a dull yellow. He was a servant, his face was tired, and traces of blood could be seen in his eyes.

"It has nothing to do with mister, why must mister do this? Please get up."

His attitude towards Zhong Ao Shuang was polite, yet distant. He respected him, but at the same time, he kept his distance. He had devoted himself to teaching her the languages of the Hun people, explaining customs and customs, analyzing the situation, and never hiding anything.

However, she couldn't let go of her worries. After all, ZhongAo Shuang was a teacher sent by Emperor Sheng to her by his father. Later on, Emperor Sheng told her to stay with his mother.

She did not know the secrets and inside information contained within, but she had observed along the way. Zhong Ao Shuang was always gentle and refined, answering all of her questions. Occasionally, she could feel his concern and pity, but she did not need the pity of others because this was her choice.

"I told him to stay outside the city. Originally, he said he was invited by Prince Xian of the Left to teach him the culture of the Central Plains. Why? He won't stay in Great Wings City, but wants to follow me to Jiuquan? Could it be that he is responsible for monitoring me? "

She had both doubts and respect for Zhong Ao Shuang, so she had always been very polite to her. A princess of the Cold Palace didn't have many people she could rely on. Zhong Ao Shuang had followed him all the way to the Great Moon Sect and was one of the people she could depend on in certain aspects.

The clear and cold tone, when it entered Zhong Ao Shuang's ears, could not help but feel a chill in his heart, making it hard for him to speak in pain. The princess was polite and respectful to him, but he preferred not to be polite and respectful.

Her heart ached unspeakably every time she saw Tuoba Fei and Prince Xian of the Left talking and laughing. However, he also understood that she had to continue living in this place for the rest of her life, so she had no choice but to get closer to Prince Xian of the Left and ask about the matters related to the Great Moon.

Kneeling on the ground, his eyes moist, he had been robbed for two days and two nights. He did not know what kind of crime he would be convicted of just knowing about this.

"This subject is incapable, and could shock the princess. I plead for Your Highness to bestow punishment upon me."

Stubbornly refusing to get up, he did not want to hear her speak to him in that distant tone, preferring her to be punished.

Yue Chanjuan sighed in her heart as she looked at those guards from the royal court brought by Zhong Ao Shuang. All of them were covered in dust, and their complexions were very pale, with dark circles around their eyes.

Everyone knelt behind Zhong Ao Shuang, their heads bowed.

Yue Chanjuan pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly knelt on the ground, using his back to stop her.

Yue Chanjuan didn't step on the back of the carriage driver and immediately jumped down from the carriage. She walked up to Zhong Ao Shuang and bent down to use her hands to help her up.

Their gazes met, and his face was dark and covered in dust. He had lost his former elegance and carried an indescribable tiredness and a hint of anxiety.

"Everyone, get up. You've all worked hard."

"I dare not, your subjects and guards are at a disadvantage, please bestow punishment upon me, Princess."

Shade knelt behind Zhong Ao Shuang, and under his protection, the princess disappeared and was taken away by the prideful Asherah. This was not a small crime, and he did not know what kind of punishment would be brought down, but in front of the future princess of Great Yue State, Princess Wuyou, he did not dare to be impolite.

"Something unexpected happened. It has nothing to do with you. Everyone, get up."

A cold glint flashed across his eyes. Tuoba Fei had obviously been lying in ambush at the place where Asherah had passed by. Where did the army come from and how did they know what Asherah had done?

"Is this all within his expectations? He had already made the arrangements. Not only did he know about the baby eagle's plan, he was also looking forward to the baby eagle's success. He had set up an army to prevent the other tribes from coming to help him, and to stop the connection between the baby eagle and the king. Could it be that they have already known about the movements of Ashes in the hunt, and even sent spies to Kunmi? "

When she thought up to this point, she couldn't help but shiver. If that was the case, then it was obvious that the scheme between Tuoba Fei and Yu Yu had been premeditated for a long time. She couldn't help but feel fear from deep within her heart.

"Don't blame yourself so much, Mr. Zhong. Thank you for your hard work. Please rest in my car for a while."

Zhong Ao Shuang bowed: "This subject doesn't dare, please get on the carriage, as long as the princess returns safely, this subject is relieved."

"Princess, let's rest here for a while and continue our journey in the afternoon."

Because he was injured, Yue Chanjuan invited him to ride with her. However, she knew that the rules of the Central Plains were very strict. As a princess and the future master of the Great Moon Sect, Yue Chanjuan only invited him to sit outside.

"Alright, everyone is tired. Let's set up a tent here and rest. We'll continue on our journey only after the afternoon is slightly cooler."

As soon as General Xie gave the order, someone immediately set up a tent and began cooking and roasting food. After half a day and a night of travelling, Yue Chan and her camel were already exhausted. When Yue Chan returned to the carriage, she found that it was better to stay inside the tent than inside.

"Sir, please come over. I have something to ask of you."

"This subject does not dare, if you have any orders from the princess, please pass them down to me. This subject cannot afford to do so."

Yue Chanjuan smiled. "Teacher is the one who is teaching me. It is only natural for me to be respectful to you. Please come up and take a seat, sir."

Zhong Ao Shuang hesitated for a moment, seeing that the people around the car were busy, she jumped into the car, and opened the curtain to invite him in.

"This … this official should wait outside the carriage."

"It is very hot outside, and the sand is very heavy. Sir, please come in. Mister and I are very magnanimous, so why are we being so formal?"

Zhong Ao Shuang could only enter the carriage. Yue Chanjuan handed over the water bag and did not say anything else. She quietly leaned against the carriage to rest. She did not want to ask Zhong Ao Shuang for advice, but rather allowed her to rest inside for a moment.

Zhong Ao Shuang wanted to speak up, but seeing that Yue Chan Juan was resting with her eyes closed, she lifted the water bag to her mouth and drank a few mouthfuls. After wiping her face with a silk handkerchief, she quietly rested on the other side of the carriage. At this moment, he also understood what Yue Chanjuan meant. She wanted him to rest in the carriage for a while.

"Is she feeling sorry for me?"

He felt a sweetness in his heart. Although she didn't say it, how could he not understand her wordless concern?

Staring at her delicate face, she was still radiant and indescribably beautiful. She was as beautiful as a snow lotus on the peak of a snowy mountain. However, how could a snow lotus be so beautiful?

He originally did not dare to be so rude or brazen, but when he saw that Yue Chanjuan had closed her eyes, he took the opportunity to admire her beauty from such a close distance.

From the shock and sympathy he felt at first sight to the admiration and love he felt afterwards, he could only silently look at her from afar. He had never been able to look at her so carefully from so close a distance.

Because they had to be polite, and because the two of them rarely spent time alone. As an official, he was extremely disrespectful when he looked straight at the princess.

For two days and two nights, there were no traces left of her face. Just like before she left, there were no traces of wind or frost on her body. Her clothes were still fresh and clean, and her fragile face was even more beautiful than a flower.

He wanted to ask what had happened these past two days and nights, but when he looked at her, he couldn't bring himself to ask. He leaned against the carriage. Perhaps it was because he was too tired, but his eyes became hazy and he fell asleep.

From the slits of her slightly narrowed eyes, Yue Chan saw Zhong Ao Shuang's dazed gaze, and suddenly understood something.

"Could it be that he followed me all the way to Great Moon Sect? No, that won't happen. He knows very well that I want to marry into the Great Moon Sect. How could he possibly come here for me? "

In that instant, Yue Chan thought of many things, but she still couldn't understand. His gaze was filled with yearning and affection, and his clear eyes were like spring water from a snowy mountain, moving her.

"Zhong Ao Shuang, no matter what your purpose is, I can only bury your feelings deep within my heart. I hope that you can find the woman that belongs to you."
