Chapter 654 - 651: Adventure_1
Inside the room, Lu Ninghuan had already bandaged Bai Qingyan’s wound. Bai Jinse helped Bai Qingyan lean against the pillow.
Bai Qingyan moved her body with difficulty; with each breath, her chest felt as though something was pulling it, making the pain unbearable.
Bai Qingyan looked at Bai Jinse, whose eyes were red, and a faint smile appeared on her pale lips. Watching Bai Jinse tearfully, a warm feeling arose in her heart. She gently wiped away the tears on Bai Jinse’s face. "I’m sorry, did Eldest Young Lady scare you?"
Bai Jinse wiped her tears with her sleeve and lowered her swollen eyelids.
Chun Tao lit incense to disperse the smell of blood in the room. Her eyes red, she brought a cup of hot water through the curtains and handed it to Bai Qingyan, speaking softly, "Eldest Young Lady, Mr. Xiao is still in the side room. He said he was ordered by the Crown Prince to stay until Eldest Young Lady is safe and sound before leaving. Doctor Hong cannot tell Mr. Xiao about Eldest Young Lady’s current condition and can only wait with Mr. Xiao in the side room."
"Chun Tao, please ask Mr. Xiao to come in. I have something to say to him!"
From the moment Xiao Rongyan arrived at the Bai Mansion to protect Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinse had guessed that Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan had a special relationship. She had just heard that Xiao Rongyan carried her eldest sister into the mansion. Moreover, her eldest sister didn’t seem to hide her injury from Mr. Xiao. It seemed their relationship was indeed unusual.
Chun Tao responded and went out to call Xiao Rongyan. Bai Qingyan gently grasped Bai Jinse’s small hand.
"Grandmother doesn’t know about my injury yet. Eldest Young Lady wants you to tell Grandmother, and tell her the truth. This time, I had to reveal too much to protect the Emperor. To return to Shuoyang safely, this was the only strategy. Tell Grandmother not to worry." She raised her hand and touched Bai Jinse’s head. "Change your clothes and then go to Changshou Courtyard, okay?"
Bai Jinse nodded, stood up, and tucked the blanket around Bai Qingyan’s legs. "Eldest Young Lady, rest well. I will go tell Grandmother now. I will explain everything so that Grandmother won’t worry. Eldest Young Lady, don’t worry."
