Chapter 37 Your Highness Has Been Waiting For You For A Long Time
Bo Ying wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and also threw it on Jiang Si. She smiled and thanked her, but it was raining heavily and neither of them could hear what they said clearly.
Jiang Si was already soaked to the skin, and even though she tightened her raincoat, she was still shivering from the cold.
The rain was so loud that the movement inside could no longer be heard. Jiang Si hugged her body tightly, her feet were already swollen.
The carriage walked for a long time, and it kept raining. It was so gloomy that it was hard to tell what time it was. It was not until we reached the border of Nan County that we found a restaurant. By then, the rain had subsided, and Xu Pingyan's carriage had stopped outside the restaurant. Bai
Fu held up an umbrella and helped Xu Zhi'ai out of the carriage. He seemed to only think that Jiang Si was a stranger. There was no emotion in his eyes, but his eyes were dark and gloomy, with a cool chill. He didn't even glance at her.
Already entered the house.
Jiang Si put on her bamboo hat and raincoat, and got out of the carriage with her feet wet. She stood in the rain with a pale face, not knowing where to go. If she followed them into the restaurant, how would she face Xu Zhihui and Bai Fu? Xu Zhihui and Bai Fu?
Zhihe had disliked her for a long time, and Baifu only had Xu Zhihe in her heart. Boying had always ignored her, not only her, but Boying never dared to pay attention to any woman around Xu Zhihe.
.
The cool breeze wrapped in the dense rain blew through the bamboo hat and hit her face. Jiang Si sneezed several times. She felt that she was hot and cold, top-heavy and light-headed. She was trembling all over just standing there, in a daze.
I can't stand steady anymore.
At this time, I heard someone rushing towards me through the rain all over the ground, and asked earnestly, "Why is the girl here alone?"
Jiang Si heard the sound and raised her eyes. The rainwater hung on her long eyelashes like a curtain. Through this curtain, she could vaguely see the clear and worried face of Xu Pingyan, who was holding an umbrella.
Jiang Si smiled and called out "Four Young Masters" in a low voice. She wanted to bend down and salute, but she suddenly fell down. Xu Pingyan hurriedly supported her. Her face was pale and her whole body was hot, as if she was suffering from high fever.
Xu Pingyan stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and sure enough, her forehead was burning.
In a hurry, he threw down his umbrella and hurriedly picked her up.
Although Jiang Si was extremely vain and weak, she was still quite sober. At this moment, she was afraid that Xu Zhihe would see her and scold her for tainting a man from the Xu family, so she hurriedly whispered, "Young Master, please put me down!"
The rain started to fall again, and the guards rushed over to hold umbrellas for Xu Pingyan and Jiang Si. Xu Pingyan hugged Jiang Si and quickly got on the carriage, saying, "Go to the doctor quickly!"
The guard lowered the curtain, untied the horse's reins, and drove out at a high speed.
The coir raincoat was all wet and dripping with water. Xu Pingyan took off her coir raincoat and piled it in the front room of the carriage. Seeing that she was shaking all over, he took off his coat and wrapped it around her. Suddenly he remembered that there were other things in the baggage in the carriage.
With a lot of changes of clothes, he took a few more robes and put them on her, and asked, "Is it still cold?"
Jiang Si finally felt better. She wrapped her robe tightly and looked at Xu Pingyan gratefully. "Thank you, sir. It just stained your robe."
Xu Pingyan smiled and said, "There is no need to say such things."
Then he asked, "Why didn't you go to the restaurant just now?"
Jiang Si said with a pale face, "I'm just a servant."
Xu Pingyan said, "There seems to be a difference between you and King Yan."
Jiang Si lowered her eyes, and the remaining rainwater on her bun slowly dripped down her cheeks. It was different, she was not even comparable to the lowest maid.
Seeing that her expression was very bad, Xu Pingyan paused for a while, and then said after careful consideration, "I have something that maybe I shouldn't say."
"Sir, please tell me."
"My second brother," he thought over and over again, "if you can stay away from him, you'd better stay away from him!"
Jiang Si's tears were faint, and she bit her lip gently. If she could really stay away from him, she only hoped that she would stay far away from him in this life, the next life, and every life, and would never be so entangled with him again.
"I want to ask the Fourth Young Master..."
"Girl, just ask."
Jiang Si groaned, "In this land of Bashu, how difficult is it to find someone?"
Xu Pingyan said, "The world is so big, if you want to hide, how can you find it so easily?"
"So, is it possible to achieve 'No matter how far or where you reach, you will not die'?"
Xu Pingyan stared at her for a long time before saying, "Why does the girl ask like this?"
Jiang Si just stared into his eyes and asked, "Master said, can it be done?"
Xu Pingyan muttered, "If you can avoid it, you won't be able to do it."
Only then did Jiang Si smile. She took a long breath and murmured, "Thank you, sir."
"Did King Yan say this to you?" he asked.
Jiang Si lowered her head and said nothing, then smiled for a moment and said, "I was just asking."
Xu Pingyan said solemnly, "If you need anything, you can talk to me."
Jiang Si raised her eyes and looked at him. He was sitting on the opposite side with a sincere expression and his movements made people feel like a spring breeze. Therefore, her heart, which had been cold that day, slowly warmed up.
After seeing the doctor, she drank medicine, and her sprained foot was bandaged. After getting on the carriage, the guard bought some hot buns, which were extremely fragrant. Jiang Si didn't eat much that day, although she was hungry early.
, but due to the cold and fever, I felt nauseated after smelling the meaty aroma of the buns.
There was not much conversation along the way, but when the carriage returned to the restaurant where it had just stopped, Xu Pingyan said, "I will go to Nanjun alone tomorrow, and you will also go to Bajun. The terrain in Bajun is steep, and the disaster is more severe than in Nanjun. You have to be careful.
.”
Jiang Si nodded, unable to hide the melancholy in her brows. She and Xu Pingyan were just acquaintances, but he was able to take care of her along the way. Come to think of it, even these brothers have very different temperaments.
Seeing him stern again, he said, "I hope you will be fine when I see you again."
*
When we got off the carriage, the sky was already dark, and dark clouds were pressing over the city. The rain stopped soon, and then started to rain again.
"Girl, go first." He stood with his hands behind his back, not touching her for fear of causing her further trouble.
Jiang Si hugged the medicine tightly and smiled gratefully at him. Xu Pingyan also smiled and stood in the rain, "The foot injury is not healed, the road is slippery, be careful."
He reminded me kindly.
Jiang Si raised the corner of her robe, which had already been soaked. Because there were no clothes to change in Xu Pingyan's carriage, and she was still very hot. Fortunately, she was still wearing Xu Pingyan's robe, which made her feel much warmer and kept the coldness away.
The rain could not stop outside.
Jiang Si limped into the restaurant. Candles were already lit in the restaurant, which was dimly lit. There were only a few casual guests in the restaurant, eating meat and drinking wine on the first floor.
Boying was standing at the door of the stairs holding a sword like a Rakshasa. When he saw her coming in, he asked sadly, "Where did the girl go?"
Jiang Si's heart skipped a beat, but she just bowed and saluted with a calm face, "General."
"Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time." He said coldly, and then led her up to the second floor. Bo Ying walked quickly, and his riding boots stepped heavily on the creaking stairs, which made Jiang Si's heart skip a beat.
She was also trembling, and she limped forward, feeling cold all over her body.
Arriving at the door of the guest room, Boying opened the door and said into the room, "Your Highness, we are here."
