Chapter 566: Can We Meet Again?
Bai Shuang was quick to support the man, but she was still surprised the moment she hugged him. She originally thought that he just looked thin, but she didn't expect him to be so thin that he was almost skin and bones.
"Miss Bai Shuang, are you okay?"
The Jiang Mansion guards who had been following behind him stepped forward and helped the man away from Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang shook her head. After being with Su Ying for so long, she didn't care about such trivial matters.
"Let's find a nearby clinic and send the person there for a checkup."
After Bai Shuang finished talking to the guards, she wanted to go back to the palace first, but after thinking about it, she followed them to the clinic.
The doctor at the clinic happened to be good at surgery, and he took the patient directly into the inner room for examination.
After a while, the doctor came out.
When Bai Shuang saw him, he stepped forward and asked, "Doctor, how is the patient?"
The doctor said, "There are a lot of skin injuries, both new and old, plus he's been hungry for a long time, well... the situation isn't very good, but fortunately he's young, so he should be able to get better after some rest."
Bai Shuang asked the guards to buy two clean robes for the man to change into. His messy hair was combed neatly, and his dirty face became exceptionally white.
Bai Shuang walked in and was stunned when she saw the man. If she hadn't known it was the same person, she would not have recognized him.
The man in front of me was dressed in a blue shirt and had a fair and clean face. He looked like a scholar no matter how you looked at him. How could anyone have imagined that he would steal other people's steamed buns?
Bai Shuang came back to her senses, her face was a little hot, she quickly looked away and asked: "Do you feel better?"
"Much better, thank you girl."
"Where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like you're from Beijing."
The man lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice, "I, I came from the southwest. Something happened at home and I met some bad guys on the way. That's why I'm in this state. If the girl trusts me, please give me an address. I will come to thank the girl in person someday."
Bai Shuang waved her hand nonchalantly, "No need to thank me, no matter what happened to you, just be a good person from now on."
As she spoke, she took out some small change and copper coins from her pocket and placed them in front of him. "Take it. Find a place to settle down and find a job. You are still young. You can't keep going like this."
The man stared at Bai Shuang in a daze. Bai Shuang felt embarrassed by his straightforward look. "Why? Do you think it's not enough?"
The man hurriedly said, "Miss, you misunderstood. I am already very grateful that you saved me. How could I ask for more money from you?"
"If you don't want it, then you are penniless now, what are you going to do next?"
These words stumped the man instantly. With a look of shame on his face, he struggled to stand up and kneel down to Bai Shuang.
Bai Shuang was afraid that he would be injured again, so she hurried over to support him.
Si Chen was really exhausted, and as soon as he stood up, his body fell onto Bai Shuang again.
Bai Shuang hugged the man tightly again, and with all her might she moved him to sit on the bed.
"Can't you be more honest? You're still injured. Take the money. I'll have someone buy you some food. You're young and there's nothing you can't overcome. Just live your life well."
Bai Shuang finished speaking and looked at the sky. If he didn't go back to the palace, the palace gate would be closed. "I'm leaving first. You can take care of yourself."
Seeing that Bai Shuang was about to leave, Si Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, young lady, what is your name?"
Bai Shuang raised an eyebrow, "A hero's origin is not questioned. I'm leaving now."
"My name is Si Chen. I hope to be able to personally thank the young lady for her kindness one day."
Bai Shuang waved his hand gracefully and turned to leave.
On the way back to the palace, Bai Shuang kept repeating those two words, "Si Chen, Si Chen, it sounds pretty nice."
When the palace gates were locked, Bai Shuang returned to Fengluan Palace.
Bai Shuang didn't send any message to Su Ying when she came back. Su Ying was a little surprised when she saw her approaching. "Why are you back so soon?" Zhou Qing had just sent someone to pass on the message.
Bai Shuang didn't know that Su Ying had sent someone to ask her to return to the palace. "Your Highness, Madam Jiang is much better now, and she eats well. She is rounder than when you last went back. Madam Jiang was worried that there would be no one to serve you, so she asked me to return."
Su Ying knew about their relationship. Bai Shuang said that it was fine, so it was very likely that she was almost well. "Okay, you've been tired recently, so take a rest tonight. It won't be too late to come back tomorrow to work."
"yes."
Bai Shuang was about to leave when Su Ying suddenly called her.
"What's with the blood on your body?" Su Ying asked, pointing at the bloodstains on her lapel that had turned dark.
Bai Shuang looked down and saw that there was indeed some blood on her dress. She thought of Si Chen's fair face for some reason, "Your Majesty, it was accidentally rubbed on by me. It's not my blood."
Su Ying nodded after hearing what she said, "Well, go ahead."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
At night, after Zhou Qing came back from washing up, he saw Bai Shuang sitting in the room in a daze.
Ever since Lin Zhuyu left the palace, the two of them slept in the same room, which was also convenient for serving Su.
"White Frost, White Frost?"
Bai Shuang suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Zhou Qing in surprise, "What's wrong? Did the Queen call me?"
Zhou Qing closed the door, took off his clothes and prepared to go to bed. "No, the queen and the emperor have already gone to bed. I just walked in and saw you in a daze. I called you a few times before you came back to your senses. Tell me what you are thinking about."
Bai Shuang shook her head and pushed that face out of her mind. "Nothing. Tell me if anything has happened in the palace recently."
"No, the queen has been doing well. She went out of the city a while ago to lead people to burn charcoal. After the charcoal was burned, the queen has been staying in the palace. Except for occasionally going to the women's academy, she has not been anywhere else."
Bai Shuang nodded when she heard that. "That's good. It's getting late and we have to get up early tomorrow. Let's go to bed quickly."
"kindness."
Bai Shuangkai climbed onto the bed, turned off the light, and then lay down on the bed.
After dark, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets.
Si Chen's injuries were serious, so the doctor asked him to sleep in the back hall of the clinic at night and asked the medicine boy to watch over him.
It only costs twenty copper coins to stay in the clinic for one night, which is the hard work fee for the medicine boy. If you go to the inn, the price will not be the same. After weighing it carefully, Si Chen decided to stay.
"Sir, this is what the girl who brought you here today bought for you. The pancakes are cold, but there is hot water in the kitchen. I'll go get some hot water for you to eat with it."
Si Chen looked at the pancake in his hand in surprise. Bai Shuang had already given him money, but he didn't expect that she also bought him food. This girl was really thoughtful.
He was very grateful in his heart, but he didn't know if he would be lucky enough to see her again.
