Chapter 573 Do You Like Him?
Su Ying: ...
Is it really okay for you to be so curry?
Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction and happily took his wife to the back mountain.
As the night deepened, it became colder in the mountains than in the city.
At night, Xiao Jin carried Su Ying back to the main courtyard to rest. Bai Shuang turned off the lights in the room and left.
"Bai Shuang, where are you going? It's very cold outside at night. You'd better go to bed early." Zhou Qing was about to go back to the house to rest when he saw Bai Shuang walking outside the yard.
Bai Shuang paused for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go see if the gate is closed."
Zhou Qingwei frowned slightly. The gate of the courtyard was guarded by imperial guards, so there was no need for them to check. She thought about it and said nothing, and followed Bai Shuang.
She followed behind and saw Bai Shuang saying something to the imperial guards outside the door, and then the imperial guards let her leave the yard.
Zhou Qing frowned. Why was she sneaking out so late at night?
Zhou Qing followed Bai Shuang all the way to an independent small courtyard at the back of the villa. She knew that this courtyard was where the imperial guards who patrolled the night lived.
Zhou Qing waited outside the yard for about two quarters of an hour before he saw Bai Shuang coming out.
After making sure that Bai Shuang had left, Zhou Qing entered the yard. After finding the imperial guards to ask, he saw Si Chen lying unconscious on the bed.
When Zhou Qing returned to the main courtyard, Bai Shuang was already sitting on the bed. She didn't react at all when she saw Zhou Qing come in.
Zhou Qing closed the door with his backhand and observed Bai Shuang's expression calmly.
"Bai Shuang, I see that you always like to be distracted after returning to the palace. Although I haven't been with you for too long, I also regard you as a sister from the bottom of my heart. We are all people serving the queen and have the queen's trust. As slaves, we should all abide by our duties."
Bai Shuang looked at Zhou Qing, "I know, I also regard you as a good friend, and the queen will always be my master. Zhou Qing, why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Zhou Qing asked straight to the point: "Do you know the man who was taken back to the backyard?"
Bai Shuang was slightly surprised. She actually hadn't intended to hide this, but she was still a little surprised when Zhou Qing found out. "How did you know?"
Zhou Qing saw her admit it, and the pressure in his heart was slightly relieved, "I saw you sneak past just now."
Bai Shuang said anxiously: "I just want to go over and see if he is really going to die..."
"Do you like him?"
Zhou Qing's question stunned Bai Shuang. What was the point of liking or not liking him? She had only met him twice.
"Zhou Qing, stop talking nonsense. That's not true. How could I like him? I don't even know where he came from. I, I don't have any..."
Zhou Qing knew what was going on when he saw her panic-stricken look.
"Bai Shuang, don't be anxious. I still remember that the Queen once told us that if we want to get married in the future, she will definitely not object. It is not shameful to have someone you like. But according to what you said, this person has an unknown origin, which is not acceptable. Have you ever thought about whether he has bad intentions towards the Queen and the others?"
Bai Shuang's face turned pale. Of course she had thought about this, so she was very nervous after bringing Si Chen to the villa. She went to see Si Chen just now, not only to know whether he had woken up, but also to worry, what if he...
"Zhou Qing, I know. I will never do anything to hurt the queen and the others."
Seeing that she was not too immersed in it, Zhou Qing exhaled again, "Just in case, let the imperial guards investigate after the person wakes up."
Bai Shuang nodded, "Okay."
Zhou patted her shoulder gently, "Okay, don't think too much, go to bed first, it's not good to not get enough sleep in winter."
Bai Shuang was so confused that she couldn't sleep, but she still lay down with Zhou Qing.
There was only one day off, so before dawn the next day, Xiao Jin had to get up and go back to the city to attend the morning court.
Su Ying opened her eyes in a daze and saw that Xiao Jin had already changed into the dragon robe.
Xiao Jin came up to her, held her face and kissed her on the forehead, "I'm going back to the city first, and you can go back with Ji'er and the others later when you wake up."
Su Ying hummed, turned over and continued to sleep, "Be careful on your way."
"kindness."
When Su Ying opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.
I can faintly hear the sound of two babies studying in the cubicle. They are really two hardworking little bees.
After Su Ying made the noise, Zhou Qing heard the noise and pushed the door open and walked in.
"The queen is awake."
Su Ying moved her aching legs and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Your Highness, it's already past noon."
Su Ying raised her eyebrows. Has she slept for so long?
"Have Ji'er and the others eaten yet?"
"Yes, the eldest prince and his companions have already had breakfast."
"Mom, you lazy bum, it's time to get up." Erbao couldn't help but come over when he heard the noise.
Su Ying pinched her soft little face and asked, "Do you want to eat some more with your mother later?"
Erbao shook his head, "Ling'er can't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to fly when practicing Qinggong."
Su Ying's eyes twitched, "The quality of Qinggong has nothing to do with weight."
"Hmph, Ling'er, please stop being a chubby little meatball. I have to go to school, Mom. You should just eat your meal obediently."
Su Ying looked at Erbao walking away with his short legs, and she had the illusion that she was the baby...
In the morning, He Shouyi made sweet wine egg soup, chicken noodle soup and fried eggs, which are all Su Ying's favorites.
After eating, Su Ying felt relaxed all over.
"Your Majesty, people from the Jingzhao Yin Mansion have come to the outside of the farm, saying that there is a wanted criminal in the farm that they want to capture. You are kindly requested to hand the prisoner over to them." The voice of the palace maid was heard outside the door.
Su Ying asked in confusion, "Prisoners? When did the prisoner hide in the villa? How come I didn't know? Let them in. I want to ask what kind of prisoner dared to hide in my villa."
Zhou Qing glanced at Bai Shuang and saw a look of panic on her face.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you." Bai Shuang walked up to Su Ying and knelt down, her eyes red.
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"
"Yes, I saved a man when I was picking plum blossoms on the back hill yesterday. I was worried that he would freeze to death in the snow, so I called the Imperial Guards and temporarily placed him in the Imperial Guards' quarters for the night."
She seemed to have vaguely heard something about this from the conversation between Zhang Shuming and Xiao Jin last night, but since the matter was reported to Xiao Jin, it shouldn't be a big problem, so she didn't ask in detail.
But I didn’t expect that this person was rescued by Bai Shuang.
"Saving people is not a big problem."
"Yes, but I don't know where he came from. I saved him once before I returned to the palace."
Su Ying's eyebrows darkened slightly, "What's going on?"
Bai Shuang could only tell Su Ying about how she rescued Si Chen in the city.
After hearing this, Su Ying's brows gradually sank.
