It was already past midnight, and the snow outside the window was falling. She couldn't help but glance out the window, wondering why Shen Jue came to see her at this time.
The pen in his hand paused for a moment, then he looked at A Tao and said, "Go and ask Shen Shoufu to come in."
A Tao bit her lower lip and said, "Master Shen has already come in."
Before Bai Yu'an could react, she saw Shen Jue walking in from behind the curtain.
When Shen Jue came in from outside the curtain, he immediately saw Bai Yu'an sitting in front of the case holding a brush.
I saw him sitting next to a warm candle. The candlelight reflected on his smooth cheeks. He was wearing a white coat and a green robe. A few strands of long hair fell from his forehead, which made the pure and upright person look a bit awkward. So orderly.
The deserted figures in front of him seemed to be distanced by him, even if they were looking at each other.
But the jade-colored face was gentle, and the calm eyes couldn't hide the beauty of that face.
It was the first time that Shen Jue cared so much about a person's appearance, and he once reflected on himself that maybe he was not just obsessed with his appearance.
But he had never seen such a person in officialdom.
His eyes noticed the medicine bowl on the table again, but how could such a person...
Don’t lift...?
Seeing that Shen Jue was standing still, Bai Yu'an put down his pen and asked Ah Tao to pour the tea. Then he stood up and said to Shen Jue, "Shoufu Shen has something to say, why don't you go out to the front hall to say it?"
However, Shen Jue walked straight towards Bai Yu'an, and finally stopped just one step away from Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yuan only felt a shadow cast in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he saw Shen Jue's clothes in front of him.
She couldn't help but look up at Shen Jue in confusion, frowned and asked, "What does Shen Shoufu mean?"
Shen Jue looked down at Bai Yu'an and smiled, lifted his robe and sat on the high stool next to Bai Yu'an: "It doesn't hurt to talk here."
Bai Yu'an stared blankly at Shen Jue who had already sat down on the stool. It was not easy to invite anyone out at this time, so he had to sit on the chair again and asked, "What is Chief Minister Shen looking for?"
But Shen Jue glanced at the medicine bowl on the table, looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Master Bai, why don't you drink the medicine first?"
Bai Yu'an was stunned again.
At this time, Wei Ruyi quickly brought the medicine to Bai Yu'an and said, "Sir, if you don't drink it, the effect of the medicine will expire."
Bai Yu'an glanced at the medicine in front of him and said calmly: "I'll talk to Shen Shoufu first. You take it out first. I'll drink it later."
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an with a calm look in his eyes: "Master Bai, just to have a few words with me, you didn't even drink medicine?"
Bai Yu'an's face looked slightly ugly, and he heard Wei Ruyi's voice next to him: "Sir, this tonic will get cold if you don't drink it."
Shen Jue glanced at the medicine bowl in Wei Ruyi's hand: "Is this the recipe for today's body-replenishing medicine?"
Wei Ruyi nodded and made an excuse: "My lord, the cold is not over yet, so this medicine will replenish your body."
To Shen Jue, these words were just deception. He looked at Bai Yu'an with a non-smile: "The people around you are so worried about your health, why don't Master Bai drink first?"
"Drinking a bowl of medicine won't waste much time."
At this time, A Tao was standing behind Bai Yu'an, looking at the medicine bowl but hesitating to speak, turning his back to wink at Wei Ruyi.
However, Wei Ruyi's heart was focused on the medicine bowl and she never even glanced at A Tao.
Bai Yu'an was silent, and looked at Wei Ruyi's concerned and expectant eyes. Still a little unbearable, she took the medicine and drank it while enduring the bitterness.
Fortunately, the bowl was not big. Bai Yu'an resisted the nausea and put the empty bowl into Wei Ruyi's hand.
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an worriedly, and Bai Yu'an waved her hand to make them all retreat.
When there were only two people left in the room, Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue and said, "What's the matter with Chief Shen coming here so late at night?"
Shen Jue glanced at the water color remaining on Bai Yu'an's lips, and her face, which was aloof and indifferent, seemed to have been brought out a little bit of sadness.
Looking towards the collar that was tightly covered by the collar, he said quietly: "I heard that Lord Bai met Princess Jianing today?"
Bai Yu'an didn't know where Shen Jue got the news, and wondered if this matter had already spread.
At that time, they were on the top floor of the painting ship, and there were only a few private rooms. Could it be that Princess Jianing made a fuss again?
But what does this have to do with Shen Jue?
Thinking of Bai Yuan holding the stove, he lowered his eyes and said lightly: "We met."
Shen Jue lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Yu'an's indifferent expression: "I heard that Lord Jianing is going to the Queen Mother to confess to you. What is Lord Bai going to do?"
Bai Yu'an glanced at Shen Jue and said, "I have no regrets in my heart. When I get in front of the Queen Mother, I will tell you the truth."
Shen Jue's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "Princess Jianing is the niece of the Queen Mother. Does Mr. Bai really think he can escape unscathed this time?"
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue indifferently, seeing the ridicule in his eyes, frowning and whispering: "Justice is in the heart of the people. I don't think I am at fault."
Shen Jue snorted and shook his head: "There is a lot of room for maneuver in the officialdom. If Mr. Bai goes all out to touch it, what good results can he get?"
"Master Bai, you might as well think about who can help you at this moment."
What does this mean?
If you ask someone for something that is right for you, doesn't that mean you admit that you are wrong?
Bai Yu'an looked at Shen Jue with a cold face: "Shen Shoufu doesn't need to persuade me, and I don't need anyone's help."
Shen Jue sneered, but she was as aloof as ever and did not appreciate his favor.
Standing up from the stool, Shen Jue looked down at Bai Yu'an again.
Pursing his lips, he turned around and walked out without saying a word.
A Tao saw Shen Jue go out and saw the deep expression on Shen Jue's face. She couldn't help but quickly entered the room and said to Bai Yu'an: "What did Master Shen and Young Master just say?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head.
A Tao didn't ask any more questions and said, "Sir, I'll go get some water and wash myself."
Just as Bai Yu'an was about to nod, he felt something coming out of his nose. He touched it with his hand and was shocked to see the blood on his fingertips.
He quickly raised his head and asked A Tao to get the handkerchief.
A Tao was also frightened by this scene and quickly went to get a handkerchief to hold on to Bai Yu'an.
Wei Ruyi who was outside heard the commotion inside and hurriedly came in. Seeing this situation, her face turned pale with fright, and she burst into tears: "Sir, how could this happen?"
Bai Yu'an waved his hand, gasped and whispered: "It should be too much."
Wei Ruyi started crying: "What should we do?"
Bai Yu'an took advantage of the situation and said: "This medicine is too powerful. You don't have to take it for now. We will talk about it later."
Wei Ruyi didn't dare to endure it any longer, so she wiped her tears and nodded: "I will listen to you, sir."
Bai Yuan spent a while with a pale face. When the bleeding finally stopped, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked Wei Ruyi, who was whimpering next to her, to fetch hot water before taking off her coat.
After washing up, Bai Yu'an finally lay down on the bed and sighed. A Tao sat on the edge of the bed worriedly and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with the young master?"
Bai Yu'an didn't think anything else, but felt a little dry in the mouth, so he asked A Tao to get a cup of tea.
After drinking tea, Bai Yu'an said to A Tao who was still guarding him: "Go to sleep. I will call you if something happens."
A Tao then went to blow out the lamp and went out.
