On the second day, the snow outside was slightly lighter, but Bai Yu'an inside the house became more and more sick.
The last time she stood in the cold snow all night, she was admitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate again before she recovered. A Tao's heart felt like a knife piercing her heart when she heard the uncomfortable coughs in the room.
She went in with the medicine and saw that Bai Yu'an's forehead was covered with sweat and his hands were very cold when she touched them. She quickly helped Bai Yu'an stand up: "Drink the medicine first."
The concoction had a strong taste. As soon as it came close to Bai Yuan's lips, she couldn't help but retched. She stretched out her weak fingers to push the medicine bowl away, and said in a voice so thin that it was almost inaudible: "I can't drink it."
A Tao was so anxious that she quickly asked Wei Ruyi to get the candied fruit, and then mixed the candied fruit and fed it to Bai Yu'an spoonful by spoonful.
Bai Yu'an had no strength. Seeing A Tao's anxious look, she wanted to comfort her, but she didn't even have the strength to speak. She coughed unbearably when she opened her mouth.
Her black hair falls softly on her waist, making her look even weaker.
She coughed so hard this time that the finger bones that she rested on the edge of the bed turned white. At the end of the cough, the handkerchief was faintly stained with blood.
Wei Ruyi was so frightened that she cried again. No matter how cold it was outside, she picked up her cloak and said, "I'll go out to find Doctor Wang."
Bai Yu'an had no strength to stop him, holding his chest and gasping uncomfortably.
A Tao cried in her ear: "What are you trying to do to offend the Queen Mother? Why do you want to be a prostitute? Now you are in such a state of desolation. If my wife back home knew about this, I don't know how she would cry."
"That's all. If you want me to say who wants to be the official, I'll either offend this one or that one all day long."
"At worst, if you feel better this time, you can resign and go back to your hometown to be a wife. It won't cost you your life."
Bai Yu'an listened to A Tao's frustrated words and smiled, but there was a long silence with his eyes lowered.
Not long after, Wei Ruyi ran in, threw herself in front of Bai Yu'an's bed and cried, "Doctor Wang went on a medical visit and said he wouldn't come back until night."
A Tao pulled her away and couldn't help scolding: "Why are you crying, do you think the young master is not annoying enough?"
Wei Ruyi had tears in her eyes, feeling aggrieved, but unable to say a word to refute, so she could only shrink to one side sobbing.
A Tao glanced at her with disgust again: "You've been crying and crying all day long, and the house is almost flooded with you."
Wei Ruyi cried pitifully. After being scolded by A Tao, she did not dare to cry anymore. She wiped her tears and looked at Bai Yu'an aggrievedly.
Bai Yu'an saw that Wei Ruyi was crying pitifully, and wanted to make A Tao treat others better, but in a blink of an eye, she saw Wen Changqing coming into the house.
I saw him wearing a dark gown with a large cloak on the outside. He had a handsome face but pursed his lips, and his movements were quite public.
I saw that there was a follower behind him. The boy had several boxes folded in his hands and put the boxes on the table as soon as he came in.
Seeing Wen Changqing come in, Bai Yu'an felt bitter in her heart, but she still managed to smile and said, "Brother Wen."
Wen Changqing went over and sat next to Bai Yu'an. He didn't hesitate with his big hands. He walked over and touched Bai Yu'an's smooth forehead. He found that it was extremely hot, so he quickly asked with concern: "Have you asked the doctor to take a look?"
Wen Changqing has always been straightforward. The two of them were in the same high school year, both in Hanlin, and had a good relationship, so there was nothing wrong with such an action.
Bai Yu'an didn't want to trouble anyone, so she gasped slightly and nodded, then said softly: "It's just typhoid fever. Brother Lao Wen has gone on a trip."
Wen Changqing looked at Bai Yu'an, knowing that he had never shown his temper, and there was a bit of worry and self-blame in his eyes under his sharp eyebrows: "Logically speaking, I should have picked you up when you were released from prison, but I happened to be busy with business and was delayed. You won’t blame me.”
Wen Changqing's temperament is not as reserved as Bai Yu'an's, and she doesn't have those delicate thoughts. Bai Yu'an naturally understands, but she doesn't have the strength to speak. She leaned on the soft pillow behind her and shook her head and said, "I understand what Brother Wen means."
Wen Changqing looked at Bai Yu'an's desolate appearance, very broken and pale, but that face was as noble as jade, a little more moving than a woman's, and it was hard to look away.
I also remembered that when Bai Yu'an was a high school prospect, he was riding on a tall horse, dressed in red, and the begonias on his temples were not even half as colorful as him, and he fascinated half the women in the city.
Moreover, his eyes were cold and unconcerned with the world, which led everyone at that time to privately call him Guanyin in White. There were countless people who painted his appearance, which shows that Tanhua was worthy of his reputation.
Wen Changqing looked at Bai Yuan's shallow smile again and sighed again, thinking of Guanyin who had fallen into the mud.
He suppressed the strange thoughts in his heart and couldn't bear to disturb him by talking more. He turned to A Tao and said: "I brought some prescriptions and medicinal materials to nourish the body. You can take them now."
Looking back at Bai Yu'an, Wen Changqing's eyes were eager: "Don't refuse the things I bring you. I know you don't have much money now, and you were fined a salary by the emperor. If you have any difficulties in the future, just talk to me. I If I can help you, I will help you too."
"As for the injuries on your body, I went to the imperial doctor to prescribe jade muscle ointment for you, and then I asked A Tao to rub it on you. If it leaves a scar, no girl will like you."
Bai Yu'an saw Wen Changqing's serious look and smiled: "I naturally dare not refuse Brother Wen's friendship. I can only wait until I feel better before inviting Brother Wen to go boating and make tea."
Wen Changqing laughed and wanted to pat Bai Yu'an on the shoulder as usual, but seeing Bai Yu'an's current appearance, he still held back and said: "Then you have to get better quickly. Making tea in winter is the most elegant. When the time comes, You play the harp, I'll play the flute, and then I invite Brother Gao to have a few drinks together, look at the moon and write poems, it's very elegant."
Bai Yu'an smiled lightly and wanted to speak, but couldn't help but cough.
No matter how much she could bear it, Bai Yu'an held on to the edge of the bed with a pale face. The handkerchief covering her lips changed again and again. Finally, she couldn't even hold it on anymore. It was A Tao who held her up, and this scene finally passed.
With red eyes, A Tao asked Bai Yu'an to lean into her arms and choked slightly: "Young master, please rest."
The white middle coat made her even thinner. Her thin white fingers rested feebly on the edge of the bed. She could only hear Bai Yuan's labored breathing: "Brother Wen is laughing at this."
Wen Changqing felt uncomfortable seeing Bai Yu'an like this. He clenched his fists and whispered: "Why do you and I have to talk about this? It's just that I'm disturbing your purity by staying here. You take good care of yourself today, and I'll come see you tomorrow."
He whispered again: "Don't think about those things in the court anymore, and don't offend the Queen Mother again in the future."
Bai Yu'an didn't want to show this appearance in front of others. After hearing Wen Changqing's words, he was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay..."
Wen Changqing stood up and took another deep look at Bai Yu'an. He paused for a few moments before sighing and turning around to go outside.
