It was already very late when A Tao received Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yuan got on the carriage and leaned behind her, not wanting to say a word.
A Tao asked the carriage to go back and looked at Bai Yu'an again.
Bai Yu'an then looked at A Tao and couldn't help but smile when he saw the hesitant expression on A Tao's face: "It's okay."
She looked like nothing was wrong. A Tao wanted to ask, but when she saw that Bai Yu'an had closed her eyes, she bit her lip and held back.
As soon as they returned to the yard, Chen's mother came towards Bai Yu'an to greet her.
It was rare for Mother Chen to take the initiative to look for Bai Yu'an at night. When Bai Yu'an saw this, she stopped and looked at Mother Chen: "Is there something wrong, Mother Chen?"
Mother Chen's eyes were red and she wiped her tears with her sleeves: "I just want to thank you for inviting the imperial doctor from the palace to see my son."
Bai Yu'an thought that Gao Han had asked the imperial doctor to go directly to the address she gave her. Seeing Mrs. Chen wiping her tears, she asked in a low voice, "But what disease did you find?"
Mother Chen's tears started to flow even more fiercely: "Doctor Fang came to diagnose my son this afternoon and said that my son has rheumatic syndrome."
"It is said that this disease cannot be cured. Now there are not many days left. I can only wait to die."
Mother Chen was so heartbroken as she spoke that she could hardly speak, and she was a little unsteady on her feet.
Bai Yu'an held up Mother Chen who was about to fall to the ground from crying. She looked sad and said in a low voice, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Mother Chen cried and raised her head, grabbed Bai Yu'an's wrist with both hands and knelt down: "My lord has always been generous to this old slave, but my son is pitiful. I may not be able to take care of you these days."
"Please allow me to allow this old slave to temporarily stop serving you."
Bai Yu'an hurriedly bent down and helped Mother Chen up: "Mother Chen, you don't have to be like this. Of course, family matters are important."
"It's just that I have a lot of things going on lately, so I won't be able to visit again until I have free time."
Mother Chen cried even more when she heard this. Even though Bai Yu'an supported her, she refused to get up: "Sir, you are so bodhisattva-hearted. It is your blessing to meet me. I don't dare to ask for more."
"In the future, if you still need a woman to cook and cook, I will definitely come over to serve you."
Bai Yuan lowered her eyes and said, "Things at home are important. Mother Chen doesn't have to be like this."
As she said this, she asked A Tao next to her to come over and help Mother Chen up together.
Mother Chen was still wiping her tears and choking again: "I've packed my things, and I'm going to take care of my son early tomorrow morning. Please take care of yourself, sir."
Bai Yu'an nodded silently and touched her body but couldn't find anything. She could only whisper to Mother Chen: "It's a pity that I can't help you now. If there is someone I can help in the future, Mother Chen will speak up." that is."
Mother Chen nodded hurriedly and burst into tears again.
A Tao persuaded her for a while, until she finally persuaded Mother Chen to come into the house. Bai Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the back room.
As soon as he arrived in the back room, Bai Yu'an leaned on the armchair, put one leg on the high stool, and asked A Tao to get the ointment.
The legs were put up, and the red official robe was pulled down, revealing the pure white trousers underneath.
It's just that the knees of the white pants were stained with blood at this moment. Although it wasn't stained much, it was still a bit scary to look at it.
A Tao asked hurriedly: "Where was the young master injured? Why didn't you tell me for so long?"
Bai Yu'an was very tired. He didn't sleep much last night. Today, he accompanied the little emperor to follow the absurdity. At this moment, he was exhausted and didn't want to say a word.
Under the candlelight at night, half of his face seemed to be in the snow under the moon, blown out of a storm by the heavy snow.
The red clothes are messy, and the brocade is as bright as the moon and pomegranate fire, but the eyebrows and eyes are pure and white, as deserted as a cold spring.
Bai Yu'an leaned his head on the chair, his sleeves hanging on the ground, and his fingers and hands were hooked on the armrests of the chair, swaying as if he was about to fall down the next moment.
As soon as she raised her eyelids, the candle flame fell into her eyes. Bai Yu'an exhaled: "Bring it first and then talk about it."
A Tao stopped asking and quickly went to the cabinet to get the medicine.
After taking the medicine, A Tao looked at the trouser legs and hurried out to get hot water.
When A Tao came back, Bai Yu'an leaned on her tiredly and asked Xiang A Tao: "Why isn't my cousin here?"
A Tao squatted at Bai Yu'an's feet, made hand movements and said, "Master Yuan Qing went out in the morning. He said he had met some fellow villagers, so he invited him out."
Bai Yu'an nodded. Before the exam starts, many candidates will get to know each other's hometown and teachers, so that they can take care of each other if they win the Jinshi in the future.
Bai Yu'an didn't ask any more questions. She lazily tilted her head and leaned on the armrest, watching Ah Tao carefully roll up her trouser legs little by little, and then asked softly: "Where is Changjing?"
A Tao stared at Bai Yu'an's calf and moved very gently: "I asked Mother Chen to take care of me when I left. Mother Chen said just now that Brother Jing fell asleep, and he will probably have to sleep until tomorrow."
The wound on his knee was exposed with A Tao's movements, and A Tao couldn't help but let out a cry, as if it hurt him.
The skin and flesh of a person who has been studying since childhood should be so precious. There is no blemish on the calf. It even shines white under the candlelight, so that the wound looks a bit scary.
Bai Yu'an raised his eyes and looked over, feeling that it was okay.
It was just a long, thin scratch from a piece of bamboo. If I hadn't walked, I probably wouldn't have shed so much blood.
A Tao soaked the handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood on Bai Yuan's knee.
She asked again: "Young master came out of the palace so late, is he playing chess with the emperor again?"
Bai Yu'an's eyes were elsewhere, and he didn't know if he heard A Tao's words, so he let out a lazy hum.
A Tao raised his head and glanced at Bai Yu'an. Seeing the absent-minded laziness, A Tao sighed, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Bai Yu'an looked absent-minded on the face, but in her heart she was very confused, thinking about Gu Yiyi.
Spring is about to begin in less than half a month.
Bai Yu'an was lost in thought when she suddenly felt a pain in her knee. It turned out that A Tao had touched the wound.
A Tao saw Bai Yu'an looking over and couldn't help but say: "This wound looks like it was scratched by something. What else could the young master be scratched like this in the palace?"
It wasn't that Bai Yu'an didn't want to tell Ata, but he didn't have the intention to talk. As soon as the conversation started, Atao was about to break the casserole and ask the truth.
Rubbing his eyebrows, Bai Yu'an knew: "Xu must have been scratched by something on the road."
A Tao glanced at Bai Yu'an and complained, "Young master, you don't even look at the road when you walk."
"Even the robe is torn. I have to sew it for you today. Otherwise, how will you wear it tomorrow?"
Bai Yu'an responded perfunctorily, and then said: "You can give money to Mother Chen when she leaves tomorrow. There is a little girl in the house. It is really not easy to have such an illness."
