Shen Zhixi and Song Lianzhou looked at each other and were speechless for a long time.
Since the queen wants to see her, she has to see her even if she doesn't want to.
"Oh." She replied softly, turning back to lift the car curtain, "I know."
The atmosphere darkened, and the passion and desire just now seemed like a big dream that had never happened.
Song Lianzhou also looked back. Of course he knew the resistance in Shen Zhixi's heart, and also understood her thoughts beneath the surface, but no matter what plans or plans she had, this time, he had the final say on the outcome.
As for his previous promise to let her go back to Yanzhou, it was not a lie.
He will let her go back, but he will also go back with her by then, which is not a lie.
When the carriage arrived in front of the hospital, he helped Shen Zhixi get out of the car.
Even though she had some concerns in her heart, Shen Zhixi showed no trace and cooperatively held Song Lianzhou's hand and walked into the hospital together. Song Lianzhou did not ask the doctor at the medical center to give her medicine, but planned to come in person.
The two entered the cubicle and closed the curtain.
Shen Zhixi sat on the bed, and Song Lianzhou pulled up a stool and sat in front of her.
He untied Shen Zhixi's clothes again, exposing his entire shoulder. He applied the medicine very gently and carefully. After applying the medicine on the front, he stood up and carefully applied it on the back, and finally wrapped the gauze in circles.
Everything is so familiar.
Shen Zhixi took care of him in the same way in the bamboo house before.
She sighed softly and waved away the strangeness in her heart.
"What's wrong?" Song Lianzhou noticed and asked.
"No, I'm just curious, has Mr. Guojiu ever taken care of others so considerately?" She asked casually to divert her thoughts.
While Song Lianzhou was tying the gauze, he glanced sideways at her face and replied, "Yes, a lot."
a lot of?
Shen Zhixi suddenly became interested. Didn't he hear that Uncle Song Guo was not a womanizer?
She was curious, but when she saw Song Lianzhou's face turned dark, he said: "Brothers who were injured on the battlefield, I always take care of them so carefully."
Hearing this, Shen Zhixi felt shriveled, it turned out that she was narrow-minded.
"What are you thinking about?" Song Lianzhou asked her.
She quickly denied it and replied: "No."
Song Lianzhou retracted his hand and closed the opened medicine jar. After a long time, he said aloud: "There has never been a woman other than you."
His tone was very calm, as if he didn't care.
After saying that, he turned around and placed the covered medicine jar on the table behind.
When he turned around again, his expression was still indifferent.
But the weight of his words of explanation can be understood by those who understand.
"I'll take you back in a while, and then I have to go to the military camp. I'll go to the Marquis Mansion to find you when I come back in the evening." Song Lianzhou was talking, his hands were not idle, and he put back on the clothes she took off when applying the medicine. .
"What do you want from me?" Shen Zhixi asked with his face raised.
Song Lianzhou looked at her and replied, "I'm looking for Wan Ying."
"Looking for Wanying?" Shen Zhixi raised his voice, feeling very nervous, "What are you looking for Wanying for?"
"Cultivation of feelings." He answered.
Shen Zhixi stared at his plain expression, but deep down he felt anxious.
"No?" he asked again.
Shen Zhixi did not refuse. If she said not to offend him, it would be more troublesome for him to ask for an imperial edict to take Wan Ying to the uncle's house.
He reached out his hand and pulled her up.
Before leaving the cubicle and preparing to leave, a person rushed in from the door of the medical center and almost hit him.
But after taking a closer look at her appearance, Shen Zhixi was slightly surprised.
The man was also surprised when he saw her.
"Boss Shen, is it really you?"
The speaker was Yang Xinyue, the daughter of Yanzhou Magistrate Yang Zhengwei.
Yang Xinyue was overjoyed and wanted to come forward and hold Shen Zhixi's arm to show her excitement. She was extremely happy to meet a fellow villager thousands of miles away. Yang Xinyue often buys things in Shen Zhixi's shop, and with her status, Shen Zhixi also recognizes her.
But when she saw Song Lianzhou next to Shen Zhixi, Yang Xinyue looked fearful again.
Back then, she was afraid of Song Lianzhou.
Now that we see each other again, I am still afraid and stuttering when I speak.
"Uncle Guo, Xinyue has seen you before, but you haven't seen him for many, many years. You are still very handsome."
When Song Lianzhou was at Magistrate Yang's house, his eyesight was not yet healed, and later he returned to Qingyao Village and did not see Yang Xinyue again until he left. He did not recognize Yang Xinyue, but he only vaguely felt that the voice was slightly familiar.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Yang Xinyue scratched her neck and felt embarrassed.
"Yes, your eyes were not healed when you were recuperating at my house. It's normal for you to not remember Xinyue before you have seen her. I am Yang Xinyue, the daughter of Yang Zhengwei, the magistrate of Yanzhou. Haha... What a coincidence, I met you here. you."
After hearing this, Song Lianzhou recalled it.
At the same time, I also recalled some old things. After hearing the voice of the so-called "aunt" at the gate of Yanzhou City, I vomited blood in the street.
Thinking of that, he unconsciously looked at Shen Zhixi.
Shen Zhixi turned back to look at him, and seemed to be aware of it. She felt that his eyes were particularly strange, and it made her cheeks feel hot for no reason. She quickly looked away to look at Yang Xinyue in front of her.
"Yes, what a coincidence. Why did Miss Yang come to Yuejing City?"
When asked about this, Yang Xinyue's smile immediately dropped, and she replied with a look of sadness in her eyes: "I'm here to participate in the draft."
"Draft..." Shen Zhixi was also stunned for a moment.
But yes, the palace draft happens every three years, and this year happens to be the year of the draft.
Every time there is a draft, women from official families of suitable age from all over the country must enter the palace to be drafted.
She remembered that Yang Xinyue held a grand banquet three years ago, and she, as the richest man in Yanzhou, was among the invited guests.
Yang Xinyue is now almost eighteen years old, and she is of the right age.
The official draft is still one or two months away, so Yang Xinyue should have come early to settle down and prepare for the draft.
But it looked like she was unwilling to enter the palace. Once she entered the palace, she would be trapped and die in that imperial city for the rest of her life, without any freedom.
Shen Zhixi was about to speak again, but Song Lianzhou beside her interrupted her to continue the conversation.
"It's time to go back," he said.
Shen Zhixi glanced back at him and seemed to reply that he understood.
"I...I don't wish Miss Yang success in the draft. I wish you will get whatever you want."
Yang Xinyue obviously didn't want to enter the palace. It would be a sin for her to wish her success.
Her words made Yang Xinyue's eyes light up, but when she thought about the draft later, she immediately darkened her eyes and only replied, "Thank you, Boss Shen."
With Song Lianzhou waiting here, Shen Zhixi didn't dare to talk any more.
When the two of them stepped out of the door of the medical center, Yang Xinyue took two steps forward to pursue her. When she opened her mouth to shout, she secretly held back.
"Miss, are you going to ask Wei Hong?"
Yang Xinyue turned to look at the maid behind her, and choked back with sobs: "Isn't that elm head only interested in his young master? Why didn't you follow him today?"
"Miss……"
"Forget it, I asked him what he was doing, and he was a liar. He clearly promised to give me a gift for hair extensions, but it's just that I didn't see the gift. He didn't even write a letter in so many years, not even one... He He obviously promised me. Liar, I don’t want to see him again.”
After saying that, he turned back and went inside, raising his hand to wipe the tears from his face.
*
In front of the gate of Ning Chenghou Mansion.
Song Lianzhou helped Shen Zhixi out of the car and told her, "I'll come see Wan Ying later."
