The concubine escaped and cried when she met the prince again

But then again, it’s really good to have someone of her own. She doesn’t have to carry dozens of kilograms of luggage, nor does she have to work herself to death and cook. It’s really a blessing.

Among the servants, although Ji Ning was feeling unwell, she still forced herself to work with everyone else. When she saw the water for cooking boiled, she quickly scooped a bowl for Shen Ruolan and said, "Master, the water is boiling. I'll scoop a bowl for you."

Shen Ruolan, who was lying on the grass and resting without any image, listened to Ji Ning's words. She tilted her head and glanced at her. Seeing her staggering to bring water for her, she quickly stood up and took the water and said, "You are not feeling well, so let them do it. Otherwise, they will burn you later and you will suffer."

Shen Ruolan's words warmed Ji Ning's heart. She didn't expect that this master with a special appearance would be so generous to her servants. She said to Shen Ruolan with gratitude: "Master, I will be careful."

Shen Ruolan nodded to her and said, "After dinner, remember to boil the medicine and drink it."

"Yes," Ji Ning replied obediently.

After saying that, she turned around and went to help everyone.

An hour later, Shen Ruolan and the others finished their meal and it was dark. After doing some exercise to digest the food, she said to Ji Han, "Ji Han, arrange for everyone to take turns to watch the night. I'm going to sleep first."

Ji Han said to Shen Ruolan, "Master, go to sleep. I will make arrangements."

Shen Ruolan nodded at him. Seeing that Ji Ning and the youngest grandson, the blacksmith, were both a little listless, she said to them, "You two should go to bed as well. Stay alert so you can travel tomorrow."

She originally wanted to give Ji Ning an acupuncture injection, but it was not convenient to do it in public, and it would also make it easy for her to get a cold. So she gave up the idea and decided to treat her after she found a place to stay.

"Yes, Master." Ji Ning and Lu Fei responded to Shen Ruolan in unison.

After they finished talking, they fell asleep quietly next to their families.

Shen Ruolan also fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, just as they were about to have breakfast, Mu Jinxuan and his servant finally caught up.

As soon as Li Heng saw Shen Ruolan, he couldn't help but complain to her: "Little doctor, you are too heartless. You asked us to do something, but you ran away quietly."

Shen Ruolan listened to Li Heng's complaints. She looked at him innocently and said, "I've been waiting for you outside for a long time. Since you haven't come out yet, I naturally have to leave."

She was telling the truth. She waited for nearly half an hour from the time the refugees came out until she left. They just refused to come out on their own.

Mu Jinxuan glanced at Shen Ruolan and didn't bother with him. He walked to Shen Ruolan's side, looked at her meaningfully and said, "Miss, I helped you so much the night before, shouldn't you treat me to a bowl of porridge?"

After Shen Ruolan heard what the other party said, she looked at the wild vegetable porridge that she had not yet had time to drink, hesitated for a moment, and instructed Aunt Liu: "Aunt Liu, go get a bowl and give some to this young master."

Shen Ruolan didn't want to bother with Mu Jinxuan and his servant, but since they had already spoken, it would be petty for her to refuse.

When Aunt Liu heard that Shen Ruolan was a woman, she was stunned for a moment before she responded to Shen Ruolan, "Yes, Master."

Ji Ning, who was standing by, was amazed after seeing Mu Jinxuan's appearance. She always thought that her brother was the best looking.

Unexpectedly, the man in front of her, although dusty, was still handsome and elegant in his dark blue brocade robe, and even more handsome than her brother.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew towards her. Ji Ning was so scared that she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Mu Jinxuan any more.

However, when she heard that her master was a girl, she was stunned for a moment. She never thought that this plain-looking master in front of her would actually be a woman?

Among the servants, except Ji Han, everyone was basically stunned. No one could have imagined that the person in front of them, who looked more like a man than a man, was actually a girl in disguise.

However, when everyone thought about the refugees they met on the road, they instantly understood why their master was like this. There were refugees everywhere along the way, and if she was a girl traveling alone, she would easily become a prey in the eyes of others.

Aunt Liu quickly brought over a bowl of porridge, and came to Shen Ruolan and said, "Master, the porridge is ready."

Shen Ruolan glanced at the porridge and said to Aunt Liu, "Give it to this young master."

"Yes," said Aunt Liu, and she came to Mu Jinxuan with the porridge and said, "Sir, please."

Mu Jinxuan glanced at the wild vegetable porridge in the wooden bowl, and without disdain, he picked it up and started eating.

After Shen Ruolan and the others finished their meal, they packed up and continued on their journey. She had to reach Cangling City before the refugees, otherwise it would be a shame to miss these refugees.

In the following days, Shen Ruolan and her group spent their days traveling and looking for water and food. After half a month of stopping and walking, they finally arrived in Cangling City.

Perhaps because Cangling City is a border city, few refugees come here. When they arrived here, they entered the city without much effort.

After Shen Ruolan entered the city, she instructed Ji Han, "Ji Han, take two people to ask around, where else can I rent a house besides Cang Ling City?"

"Yes, I'll go right away." After Ji Han finished speaking, he called two younger companions and walked towards the center of the city.

"Wait." Shen Ruolan suddenly shouted as she looked at Ji Han's leaving back.

Ji Han stopped, looked back at Shen Ruolan and said, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"

Shen Ruolan approached him and whispered to him, "Try to find a place close to the side where it is convenient to enter and exit."

After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she added, "As long as it's close to the border, there are no restrictions on entry and exit, even if it's outside the jurisdiction of Cang Ling City."

Although Ji Han didn't understand what Shen Ruolan was going to do, he understood what she meant. She wanted to find a house near the border, the further out the better. He nodded to her and said, "Yes, I'll go find it right away."

After Ji Han left, Shen Ruolan was not idle either. She took other people around the city and bought anything useful they saw.

However, after she had been shopping for a long time, she had not seen a grain store except for some daily necessities. After shopping for a long time without any results, she had no choice but to stop a local and ask, "Old man, where is the grain store in the city?"

When the old man heard Shen Ruolan asking about the grain store, he looked her up and down and asked, "Young man, you are from outside, right?"

Shen Ruolan nodded to him and said, "Yes, we came from Nongzhou."

When the old man heard that Shen Ruolan and her friends came from Nongzhou, he sighed and told her the truth: "Alas, there were no grain shops in Cangling City half a year ago. Now 80% of the people go to the mountains to find food."

Shen Ruolan heard that Cang Lingcheng had no rice shop half a year ago. She hesitated for a moment and asked him, "Uncle, why is that?"
