Now that the Eldest Princess and Emperor Yuanhe have begun to target her, if she doesn't leave soon, he really won't be able to protect her. How can a weak woman like her possibly fight them off?
Su Wanyan understood the meaning behind Yu Nanqing's words. This was the last chance. If she insisted on staying, Yu Nanqing would be paralyzed in bed, and she would have to shoulder all the remaining burdens alone.
Sigh, this is simply... challenging her bottom line of being a good person.
She tucked Yu Nanqing in and patted his shoulder, coaxing him, "Sweetie, get some rest first."
After saying that, he turned around and went to the side room to take out a book. Then he opened a drawer in the room and took out the acupuncture kit that he had kept inside without touching it before leaving the room.
Yu Nanqing watched her departing figure, his expression growing even more gloomy.
He didn't have much time left, and death was inevitable. He could only make arrangements for everyone's safety before he died. But why did fate arrange for Su Wanyan to be by his side at this time?
He clearly had no one left to care about, yet now...
Yu Nanqing helplessly raised his hand to cover his eyes. Was even the heavens playing tricks on him?
He didn't want Su Wanyan to die!
In the main hall, Su Wanyan sat on the armchair and waited for a while before Xu Si led Chi En, who had already changed his clothes, over.
The moment Su Wanyan saw Chi En, her eyes lit up. She wore a moon-white brocade dress with silver threads and auspicious clouds, with a dark blue belt around her waist. A piece of emerald green jade was inlaid on the belt. Her hair was tied up on her head without a crown. She had delicate features and was as beautiful as white jade.
Her once bright and sparkling eyes now resemble stars, seemingly containing a hint of wisdom.
Upon seeing Su Wanyan, he grinned and said, "Sister!"
His smile was innocent and warm; even before she got close, Su Wanyan could feel the joy emanating from him.
Su Wanyan asked Xu Si in surprise, "Where did you get these clothes?"
I originally thought Xu Si would dress him in plain clothes, and I was thinking of buying him two nice outfits when we went out later.
Xu Si nodded and bowed, smiling obsequiously, "It's nothing, it's nothing. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, this servant will do his best for you."
I thought it was a little girl, but it turned out to be a little boy.
Su Wanyan gave a thumbs up: "Looks good, so cool."
Chi En blushed slightly as he was praised.
"By the way, you share my last name, okay? Su Chi'en, how about it?"
Su Chien was taken aback: "Sister, you're going to give me a surname?"
A surname bestowed? Su Wanyan hadn't thought of that. She just felt that he probably didn't have any relatives in the capital, so how could he just have a given name without a surname?
Since he calls her "sister," shouldn't he share the same surname, Su?
Of course, if he has relatives, that's a different story.
Su Wanyan smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
Chi En shook her head repeatedly, "I like it! I like it very much! I'll listen to my sister."
That expression showed genuine joy.
"Alright, come with me out of the manor now."
Su Chien nodded repeatedly, following closely behind Su Wanyan.
Xu Si hurriedly took two steps to catch up: "Um... Your Majesty, please don't forget my antidote."
"What's the rush? It's not time yet!"
Xu Si was speechless. He pursed his lips and licked them awkwardly, not daring to urge him any further.
Su Wanyan pulled Su Chien out of the house. There were carriages available, but Su Wanyan didn't really want to ride in one.
Firstly, she was unfamiliar with the roads here, and walking around would help her remember the routes. Secondly, the people in the Prince's Mansion were all sent by Emperor Yuanhe, and she didn't know where they would take her once she got on the carriage.
There's also the guard who's monitoring Yu Nanqing. He's elusive; sometimes you see him standing motionless at the main room door, and other times you can't see him all morning or afternoon.
Su Wanyan was trying to be careful, but if that person was going to pull some kind of trick, she really couldn't guard against it.
Moreover, as soon as Su Wanyan left the mansion, four maids followed her without her noticing. Su Wanyan only glanced back at them and said nothing.
Because she knew that even if she told them not to follow, they wouldn't listen.
"Sister, where are we going?"
After changing her clothes, Su Wanyan felt that Su Chien looked much more refreshed. She had previously thought he was soft, cute, and cuddly.
Before, when he walked with Su Wanyan, he looked like Su Wanyan's little follower, but now that he has changed his clothes, when he walks down the street, he really looks no different from a brother and sister.
"That depends on you."
"Look at me?" Su Chien didn't understand.
Su Wanyan said, "Do you know where in the capital there are the most patients? Take me there."
"Most patients?" Su Chien scratched his head. "Sister, are you going to the clinic?"
“…No.” Su Wanyan choked up, thought for a moment, and whispered, “I mean, those places where poor families live, where someone in the family is sick but they don’t have the money to see a doctor, are there any?”
Originally, Su Wanyan wanted him to take her to the place where he used to live when he was a homeless person. These orphans often huddle together for warmth, and some of them are bound to catch minor illnesses or ailments.
But then I thought, what if there are too many sick people?
She hasn't graduated yet, so theoretically she's not a doctor. She's just looking for patients now to see if she can activate her system skills.
Su Chien understood and nodded, "Yes, there is such a family around here. Sister, come with me."
Is it far or not?
"It's not far, it takes about 15 minutes to get there from here."
"Wait a minute." Su Wanyan pulled him back, "How much of that silver is left?"
Su Chien hurriedly took the money bag out of his pocket and handed it over: "There's still a lot left."
Su Wanyan opened it and took a look. There was still half left, and it was also filled with a lot of copper coins, which Su Chien had exchanged at the bank.
The last time money was scattered in the streets, it was all copper coins. Two or three taels of silver could be exchanged for three hundred or four hundred copper coins, so it didn't cost much silver in total.
"Let's go buy some gifts first."
Although she was going to activate her skills, she didn't know if it would actually work. She decided to buy some gifts first so she would have an excuse when she went, and even if she couldn't cure the illness, she could still offer her condolences.
Since there are patients, the gifts must include things that strengthen the body's foundation, nourish the blood, and promote health.
So Su Wanyan first went into a clinic and asked the clinic staff to pack two packets of medicinal herbs that would not harm her body but would also have a nourishing effect before she set off with Su Chien.
Su Chien led Su Wanyan to a commoner's area in the capital. This area was full of houses and was quite far from the Prince's Mansion. The reason they arrived in just 25 minutes was because Su Chien had been taking shortcuts with her.
The houses in this area are located next to a river branch, and as Su Wanyan passed by, she could see people washing things by the river.
Su Chien led Su Wanyan into the alley, and after walking for a while, they stopped in front of a very small and dilapidated house: "Sister, this is it."
