Si Que stood up with the help of the wheelchair armrest, sat down next to You Yuzhi, naturally hooked his arms around her waist, hugged her from behind, put his face on the back of her neck, and rubbed it gently.
"No." You Yuji replied softly. Her waist was tightened by him. You Yuji pushed his hand again and found that his left hand was wrapped in thick white gauze.
She held Si Que's hand and turned it over, only to see traces of blood on his palm through the gauze. You Yuji frowned and asked in a worried voice, "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's a scratch." He replied casually.
"Why are you so careless?"
Seeing the blood staining the gauze, You Yuji called someone in and asked Liu Feng to bring the medicine and gauze. She carefully untied the gauze on Si Que's hand. The wound was stained with blood, and it was not clear. She took the tweezers, held the cotton dipped in medicine and gently wiped the wound on his palm. As soon as the wet cotton touched it, she immediately asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Hearing his normal voice, You Yuji looked over and met a pair of smiling eyes. She wondered if he felt any pain, so she continued to wipe his wound.
The blood stains around the wound were wiped away, revealing the wound.
"Why is it so deep?" You Yuji complained softly.
His wounds always had difficulty healing. Before the original wound on his palm had healed, another wound appeared.
After applying the medicine, You Yuji bandaged him with clean gauze and couldn't help but complain again: "Too careless."
She looked at me with a hint of reproach in her eyes: "Look at you, you are already weak, your leg is injured, and you cut your hand with a bloody wound. How can you not take good care of yourself?"
Si Que really wanted to say that he didn't know how to be kind in his life.
—I have never been treated well, never treated others well, and don’t want to treat myself well.
But he didn't say that, because it wouldn't be nice to say that. He just smiled and said, "Sister, I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while."
You Yuji couldn't say the rest of the words.
"Okay, I'll help you go for a while." She helped Si Que sit back in the wheelchair, then pushed him into the inner room of the bedroom and helped him lie down on the bed.
"Sister, won't you accompany me?" Si Que grabbed You Yuzhi's wrist.
"I'll be out for a while and will be back to accompany you soon." You Yuji bent down and covered him with the quilt.
You Yuji walked out of the bedroom and first ordered Lady Jing to send someone to keep an eye on the Empress Dowager West. The Empress Dowager East was going to celebrate her birthday soon, and she needed to know whether the Empress Dowager West would return to Beijing in advance. Then she called Zhuo Wen and asked him to arrange for someone reliable to go out of the city to look for Yi Yuhuan.
She was too weak that day to care too much. She thought about it over and over again these two days, and she always felt that it was inappropriate. Now the court obviously wants to take action against the Poison Tower. I don't know if Yi Yuhuan recognized that the man was the owner of the Poison Tower. If Yi Yuhuan recognized that the man was the owner of the Poison Tower, and reported it to the court, she would be questioned.
Madam Jing and Zhuo Wen both went out to do some work, but You Yuji was still sitting in the flower hall, with a lot on her mind.
“Madam…” Baohe came over with tea and cakes, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?" You Yuzhi looked at her.
Bao He immediately curved her eyes and said, "Madam has been gone for many days, but you didn't know that the princess has been ill since you left!"
"Is it sick?"
"Yes!" Bao He nodded vigorously. "After you left, the princess returned to the east wing. I heard from Liu Feng that he had been in a coma for several days and only woke up this morning. Then he came to the lady's room to play the zither. Isn't it a coincidence that you came back before the princess finished her song!"
"What a telepathic connection!"
—Baohe felt this emotion in her heart, but she didn’t dare to say it out loud.
You Yuji thought of Si Que's pale face as he told her that he was very tired and wanted to sleep. She turned around and headed towards the bedroom.
Baohe stood there and secretly gave herself a thumbs up.
This scene was seen by Zhenxu. Zhenxu shook her head without appreciation and sighed. She really didn't understand why Baohe was so happy. She was just worried that this unethical love would bring trouble to the lady. Moreover, Princess Que was in such poor health, how sad the lady would be after she passed away...
The pillow sighed again.
When You Yuzhi quietly walked into the inner room, Si Que had already fallen asleep.
Si Que didn't lie this time. He was really tired. The sleepless days had taken a toll on him. He had been sleeping intermittently since he returned to the palace the night before yesterday until this morning. Knowing that You Yuji would be back today, he reluctantly got up.
Seeing that he was asleep, You Yuji added some incense to help him sleep, and then she tiptoed towards the bed. She hesitated for a while, but did not lie down. She turned around and walked to the rattan chair under the window, and took a medical book to read.
In the past year, she has been reading medical books. Without realizing it, she has read a lot of medical books, which have gone from being obscure to being able to understand them. At first, she did it for her mother, but now she thinks that if she can help him, it will be good.
You Yuji raised her eyes and looked at Si Que lying on the bed. To cure a disease and save a life, one must first know the cause of the disease. She had to figure out why his body was like this.
Si Que slept for almost the entire afternoon, and only slowly opened his eyes when dusk fell. He looked to his side, and saw that it was empty, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"woke up?"
When You Yuji's gentle voice sounded, the gloom in his eyes disappeared in an instant. He raised his eyes towards the voice, revealing a clean and obedient smile, and called out "Sister".
You Yuji put down the medical book in her hand and walked towards him. Her soft fingertips stroked a strand of black hair on his face and said gently: "We have slept for the whole afternoon, shall we go out for a walk?"
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
You Yuji helped Si Que to stand up and sit in the wheelchair. Not only did she help him put on his coat, she also took out one of her dark green cloaks and put it on him, and then put a thin blanket on his legs.
Si Que lowered his eyes and looked at You Yuji squatting in front of him to arrange the thin blanket for him. Suddenly he felt dazed. When was the last time someone took care of him like this
Si Que thought about it seriously for a while and the answer was no.
"Okay." You Yuzhi stood up and smiled at him.
Then he slowly smiled.
"If you feel cold or uncomfortable, tell me in time." You Yuzhi took the sleeve warmer handed to her by Zhenxu and stuffed it into Si Que's hand, then walked around behind him and pushed him out.
"Sister is so nice to me." Si Que drooped his long eyelashes with a smile on his lips.
You Yuji smiled and said casually, "You are as sweet-mouthed and coaxing as Yingying."
But he didn't lie this time.
You Yuji pushed Si Que and just walked out of Tanxiang Yingyue, she saw Chen Anzhi. Chen Anzhi was followed by a woman. You Yuji glanced at the woman and knew that she was not from the palace, but she felt that she looked familiar.
"The princess is not in good health, why are you pushing her out? What if she catches a cold?" Chen Anzhi looked at You Yuzhi with a reprimanding tone.
You Yuji didn't want to explain to him, and Chen Anzhi didn't wait for You Yuji to explain. He quickly put on a smile and looked at Si Que in a flattering manner, and his tone was also gentle: "Princess, look who I brought to you."
Si Que had already seen the woman standing behind Chen Anzhi—Si Han, his nominal sister.
"Princess, you also know that the crown prince of your Chen Kingdom ran away. In a rage, the emperor reduced all the women of your Si Kingdom to slavery. I wanted to help you save more people, but it was not easy... I finally met Princess Han, and it took a lot of effort to get her indenture and bring her here."
Si Han laughed at himself and said, "The country has surrendered, so there is no need for a princess."
Chen Anzhi didn't know how to respond for a moment. Because this was the truth. Only people around him would call her princess out of courtesy, but when he was out in public, he didn't dare to call her princess anymore.
Chen Anzhi didn't respond to Si Han's words. He still looked at Si Que in a flattering manner and continued, "I had no choice but to take Princess Han into the mansion as a concubine. But you have to believe me, I really rescued her for you. To the outside world, Princess Han is my concubine, but it's not like that in the mansion. I just want her to come and accompany you more, so that you sisters can be reunited and you can smile more."
Chen Anzhi's gaze towards Si Que gradually became more infatuated.
He thought for a long time about what method he could use to win the heart of the beauty. Princess Que was once a princess, and she had seen many precious things. Giving her precious treasures might not be able to move her heart. Moreover, the princess was such a noble person who was not tainted by worldly things, how could she like vulgar things
He thought about it and realized that the princess wanted good health and the pain of losing her country. As for the former, he was not a doctor, so he could only find a good doctor. The good doctor was on the way. As for the latter, he was really powerless. So he thought of helping to save the princess's family.
It took him a lot of effort to get Si Han out of Sun Guangliang's hands this time.
Others thought he was a playboy, hanging out with people like Sun Guangliang. In fact, he was just trying to save Si Han and please Princess Que.
But he looked at Princess Que eagerly, but did not receive the grateful smile he expected.
Si Que lowered his eyes. His eyelashes were very long, always able to cover up the emotions in his eyes.
Chen Anzhi's expectant eyes gradually dimmed. The humiliation he endured during this period of time did not bring a smile to the princess' face. He felt empty inside. After a brief disappointment, he regained his spirits and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to arrange for Princess Han to stay in Yunxiao Pavilion to keep you company. But Yunxiao Pavilion is under renovation now, so I have to settle her in Haitang Residence first. When Yunxiao Pavilion is repaired, you two sisters can reunite."
Si Que finally spoke. He raised his eyes and looked sideways at You Yuji beside him and said, "Sister, I want to go back."
You Yuji withdrew her gaze from Si Han and said, "Okay, I'll take you back."
Chen Anzhi's expression suddenly became awkward, but he forced himself to put on a smile and said, "Well, Princess, have a good rest. I'll personally take your sister to settle her down."
You Yuji pushed Si Que back to the courtyard of Tanxiang Yingyue. The thin blanket on Si Que's legs had slipped off. You Yuji stopped and went around to the front to tidy it up for him. She didn't get up immediately, but still squatted in front of him, looking up at him, and asked doubtfully: "Are you not on good terms with Princess Han?"
“She always bullies me.”
You Yuji was surprised.
Si Que stared at You Yuji's eyebrows, not wanting to miss any expression on her face. He looked at her with surprise at first, then frowned slightly with a hint of annoyance.
"How did she bully you?" You Yuji asked.
"She called me half dead and half female. She stabbed me with needles, threw mud on me, and beat me with a whip. She poured water on me to make me have a fever."
Si Que looked deeply at You Yuji and saw with his own eyes that the anger between her brows was growing more and more intense.
So this is what it feels like to have someone you can complain to.
He slowly raised the corners of his lips and said softly, "Sister, it's all over."
You Yuji put away her emotions, stood up, and pushed Si Que to the east wing where he lived.
"Sister, you won't let me live with you anymore."
"No. It's getting colder. Go get some of your cotton clothes." You Yuji lowered her eyes and looked at him gently, reaching out to pinch his earlobe.
The soft numbness on his earlobe made Si Que's face change drastically in an instant, and he felt extremely unnatural.
You Yuzhi was standing behind him and didn't notice.
It was not until he entered his room that Si Que's expression relaxed.
You Yuji opened Si Que's closet and picked out cotton clothes for him. Just as she was about to touch the drawer containing the blood-red mask and black clothes, Si Que said quickly, "Sister!"
She wanted the talented, weak, kind-hearted and obedient Si Que, not the dark and vicious owner of the Du Tower.
After wearing the mask for so long, he didn't dare let her know his true appearance.
The author has something to say: Chen Anzhi: I haven’t seen you for a few days. Does anyone miss me? Where are my fans? Let me see you waving your light sticks!
