Hearing the noise, Ningdong, who had been waiting outside the house, entered the house and stepped forward to support him.
"You're awake, how do you feel?"
The beggar's lips turned white and he raised his eyes to look at the unfamiliar face in front of him.
"Am I still in the hospital?"
Ningdong nodded, "Of course. You fainted before leaving the hospital this morning. Thanks to the kindness of my princess, I saved you."
The beggar looked a little surprised.
"Princess Princess?"
"That's right, His Majesty's personally consecrated Princess Heyue has previously solved the plague in Tongzhi County and the poisonous plot in the western battlefield." When Ningdong said these words, his heart was filled with pride.
The beggar quickly captured the key to Ningdong’s words.
"Your princess is from Tongzhi County?"
"To be precise, it's Nanping Town under the jurisdiction of Tongzhi County. This is a well-known thing. What? You don't know?"
The beggar shook his head.
"To be fair, girl, I just came to Beijing recently."
Ningdong understood clearly, "No wonder."
Then she turned to look at him again.
"Anyway, now that the princess has saved you, she is your benefactor. I don't expect you to repay her in the future, but at least you can't harm her, you know?"
The beggar nodded feebly and said, "I will certainly not forget the great favor of saving my life."
Ningdong took a pillow and put it behind the beggar, stood up and said, "The princess previously told me to call her when you wake up. You wait first, and I will come as soon as I go."
The beggar nodded weakly and said nothing.
Within a moment, Chu Yue arrived.
"Ningdong, go get a bowl of porridge and fry his medicine. You can take the medicine after eating."
"Yes, Princess."
Ningdong felt blessed and exited the utility room.
The beggar on the bed nodded slightly towards Chu Yue.
"Before, I was too young to see Mount Tai. I hope the princess will forgive me."
Chu Yue shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm from the countryside, and I'm not a very polite person."
After the beggar had washed himself, he looked Zhou Zheng, which showed that he was also a handsome young man when he was young.
Perhaps he had been begging for a living over the years, and had not had a meal at all. He was also seriously ill, and his body was thin and gray hair had grown on his cheeks. It was difficult to estimate his age.
The beggar looked up at her.
"I heard from the princess's maid that the princess is from Nanping Town?"
"That's right, isn't uncle from Nanping Town too?" She is from Nanping Town, which is no secret in this capital city.
The beggar nodded and hummed, with nostalgia in his eyes.
"It is true that he is from Nanping Town, but he has been away for more than ten years. Now that I can see people from my hometown, I feel extremely friendly."
Chu Yue suddenly became interested.
"I'm from Banpo Village. I wonder where uncle is from Nanping Town?"
The beggar, who was originally full of nostalgia, was full of surprise after hearing where Chu Yue came from.
"A native of Banpo Village, the princess's surname is Lu?"
"No, my surname is Chu." Seeing his confused look, Chu Yue said with a smile, "But my fiancé's surname is Lu, and my father is a gambler, so he sent me to Banpo Village when I was thirteen years old. "
The beggar understands.
"I see."
Chu Yue looked at him, "Uncle knows the surname of Banpo Village so well. It seems that he is really from Nanping Town."
The beggar's eyes gradually dimmed.
"It's all in the past. I've been wandering around all these years, and I'm afraid no one in my hometown will recognize me."
"Uncle, it's not convenient for me to tell you my name, but I don't know how I will call you in the future?" Chu Yue looked at him and asked.
"My surname is Lu, and it's a long way." The man on the bed said with his eyes lowered.
Chu Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
"Uncle Lu's surname has the same pronunciation as that of my fiancé." She took the pulse of Uncle Lu on the bed and stood up, "It's fate that I can meet a fellow countryman in the capital. If Uncle Lu has nowhere to go for the time being, he'll wait until he recovers. After that, just stay and work in my medical clinic."
At this moment, Ningdong entered the utility room with a tray.
"Princess, the porridge is here."
Chu Yue hummed, "Uncle Lu, let's eat something to cushion our stomach. I'll get busy first."
Uncle Lu nodded slightly in the direction of Chu Yue.
"Princess, walk slowly."
After Chu Yue left, Ningdong smiled and placed the tray on the bedside table.
"I really didn't expect that Uncle Lu has the same surname as our uncle."
Uncle Lu weakly corrected him, "It's different. Your uncle's surname is Lu. Lu means Lu, and I am Lu from Lu."
He should have been dead long ago.
You must not get in touch with the people in Banpo Village again, so as not to implicate them.
It seems that once the injury is better, he still has to leave here.
…
When Chu Yue returned to Zhuangzi, Lu Xinghe was reading in the room.
"My husband didn't come into the city today?"
Lu Xinghe sat behind the table and shook his head slightly.
"The imperial examination is coming soon, I should be at Zhuangzi these days."
She smiled and came to Lu Xinghe's table.
"Guess what happened to me today?"
On weekdays, if she encounters something interesting, Chu Yue likes to share it with Lu Xinghe after returning home.
Lu Xinghe looked up at her.
"What?"
Chu Yue told Lu Xinghe about her encounter with the beggar this morning and how she treated the beggar.
"It's also fate. Who would have thought that a beggar I saved by chance would actually be from our Nanping Town."
Lu Xinghe nodded.
"The world is a big place and full of surprises. It's not surprising to meet a fellow villager in the capital. However, you must be on guard against others. It's always good to be more prepared."
Chu Yue hummed.
"I know, but from what I see, Uncle Lu may not stay in the hospital for a long time."
Hearing this, Lu Xinghe frowned and put down the book in his hand.
"His surname is Lu too?"
"The way of the road."
Lu Xinghe nodded, with a flash of disappointment in his expression.
"So that's it."
…
The next day, as soon as Chu Yue arrived at the medical clinic, she went to the backyard to give Uncle Lu a follow-up consultation.
"The pulse is still weak. Uncle Lu must have been seriously injured in the past, right?"
Uncle Lu nodded.
"It took me nearly two years to get better."
Chu Yue reached out and took the scissors and wound medicine from the tray, intending to change his dressing.
"Why doesn't Uncle Lu go back to Nanping Town? Don't you have any relatives or friends there?"
He just shook his head.
"Can not go back."
Hearing this, Chu Yue didn't ask in detail.
As soon as he came out after changing his medicine, he saw Ningdong trotting into the backyard.
"Princess Princess, Prince Jing is here."
"Prince Jing?" Chu Yue looked confused, "What is he here for?"
"I don't know, either." Ningdong quickly took the tray from Chu Yue's hand, "Princess, please go and take a look. The way I look at him is quite scary."
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
After Chu Yue finished speaking, she entered through the back door of the medical center and looked at the man standing in the hall. With a distant smile on her face, she bowed to Gu Jingning.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing came to visit us. It's He Yue's fault that he didn't welcome us from afar."
Gu Jingning had an unpredictable expression on her face. After smiling coldly, a pair of cold and bloodthirsty eyes like a beast looked at her.
"Princess Heyue is so courageous that she doesn't kneel down when she sees this king?"
