Chapter 573: do you like him

Chapter 573 Do you like him

Su Ying: …

Is it really okay for you to be so curly?

Xiao Jin nodded in satisfaction, and happily led his wife to the back mountain.

The night is getting darker, and it is colder in the mountains than in the city.

At night, Xiao Jin went back to the main courtyard with Su Ying on his back to rest, and Bai Shuang turned off the lights in the room and then went out.

"Bai Shuang, where are you going? It's very cold outside at night, you should rest early." Zhou Qing was about to go back to the house to rest when she saw Bai Shuang walking outside the outer yard.

Bai Shuang paused slightly, thought for a while and said: "I'll go and see if the courtyard gate is closed."

Zhou slightly frowned, the gate of the courtyard was guarded by imperial guards, there was no need for them to check, she thought about it for a while, but followed Bai Shuang and walked over.

She followed behind, seeing that Bai Shuang didn't know what to say to the imperial guards outside the door, and the imperial guards let her out of the yard.

Zhou Qing frowned, what was she doing out so sneaky at night?

Zhou Qing followed Bai Shuang all the way to a small independent courtyard at the back of the villa. She knew that this courtyard was for the imperial guards who watched the night.

Zhou Qing waited outside the courtyard for about two quarters of an hour before seeing Bai Shuang walking out.

After confirming that Bai Shuang had left, Zhou Qing entered the courtyard. After asking the imperial guards, he saw Si Chen lying unconscious on the bed.

When Zhou Qing returned to the main courtyard, Bai Shuang was already sitting on the bed, and she didn't respond when she saw Zhou Qing coming in.

Zhou Qing closed the door behind her backhand, and observed Bai Shuang's expression calmly.

"Bai Shuang, I see that you always like to be distracted after returning to the palace. Although I haven't spent too long with you, I still regard you as a sister from the bottom of my heart. We are all people who serve by the empress's side. To win the trust of the empress, as slaves, we should all abide by our duties."

Bai Shuang looked at Zhou Qing, "I know, I also regard you as a good friend, your empress will always be my master, Zhou Qing, why did you suddenly tell me this?"

Zhou Qing asked straight to the point: "Do you know the man who was brought back to the backyard?"

Bai Shuang was slightly surprised. In fact, she didn't want to hide this matter, but she was still a little surprised when Zhou Qing found out, "How did you know?"

Zhou lightly looked at her and admitted, the suppressed tone in his heart was slightly relieved, "I saw you sneaking past just now."

Bai Shuang said anxiously: "I just went over to see if he is really going to die..."

"Do you like him?"

Zhou Qing's question directly stunned Bai Shuang, what did she like or not, she had only met him twice.

"Zhou Qing, don't talk nonsense, there is nothing, how can I like him, I don't even know where he came from, I, I don't have..."

Zhou Qing knew her in her heart when she saw her flustered appearance.

"Bai Shuang, don't worry, I still remember that the empress once told us that if we want to get married in the future, she will never object. It's not shameful to have someone you like, but according to what you said Yes, the origin of this person is unknown, so it won't work, have you ever thought about whether he has evil intentions towards the empress and the others?"

Bai Shuang's face turned pale, of course she thought about it, so after bringing Si Chen to the villa, she was also very disturbed. When she went to see Si Chen just now, besides wanting to know if he was awake, she was also worried, in case he...

"Zhou Qing, I know, I will never do anything to hurt my mother and the others."

Zhou Qing saw that she was not looking too engrossed to extricate herself, and exhaled again, "Just in case, let the imperial guards investigate after people wake up."

Bai Shuang nodded, "Okay."

Zhou patted her on the shoulder lightly, "Okay, don't think about it, go to bed first, it's hard not to get enough sleep in winter."

Bai Shuang was so upset that she couldn't sleep, but she followed Zhou Qing to lie down.

There is only one day of rest, so Xiao Jin will get up and go back to the city before dawn the next day.

Su Ying opened her eyes in a daze and saw that Xiao Jin had changed into the dragon robe.

Xiao Jin came to her, held her face and kissed her on the forehead, "I'll go back to the city first, and you'll go back with Ji'er and the others when you wake up later."

Su Ying groaned, turned over and continued to sleep, "Be careful on your own way."

"kindness."

When Su Ying opened her eyes again, it was already bright outside.

I can vaguely hear the sound of two babies reading in the cubicle. They are really two hardworking bees.

After Su Ying made a noise, Zhou Qing pushed the door open and walked in when she heard the noise.

"The empress is awake."

Su Ying moved her sore legs and asked, "What time is it?"

"Go back to your mother, it's already past the hour."

Su Ying raised her eyebrows, has she actually been asleep for so long?

"Ji'er, have they all eaten?"

"Yes, the eldest prince and the others have already had breakfast."

"My little slob, I need to get up." Er Bao couldn't help but came over when he heard the commotion here.

Su Ying pinched her soft little face, "Do you want to eat some more with Auntie?"

Erbao shook his head, "Ling'er can't eat too much, otherwise he won't be able to fly when practicing lightness kung fu."

The corners of Su Ying's eyes twitched, "The lightness kung fu has nothing to do with your weight."

"Hmph, Ling'er, don't turn into a chubby little meatball, I'm going to study and pull my mother, you should eat obediently."

Su Ying looked at Er Bao who left with short legs, and had the illusion that she was the baby...

In the morning, He Shouyi made sweet wine egg soup, chicken noodle soup and fried eggs, which Su Ying loved to eat.

After eating, Su Ying felt comfortable all over.

"My lady, people from Jingzhao Yin's mansion have come from Zhuangzi, saying that there is a key criminal they want to arrest in Zhuangzi, I implore my lady to hand over the prisoner to them." The voice of the palace maid sounded outside the door.

Su Ying asked puzzledly: "Prisoner? Why didn't I know when the prisoner was hidden in the villa? Let them come in, and I will ask, what kind of prisoner dared to hide in my villa."

Zhou Qing glanced at Bai Shuang, and saw a panicked look on her face.

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to tell your Majesty." Bai Shuang walked up to Su Ying and knelt down, her eyes were red.

Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"Yes, it was the servant who rescued a man yesterday when he was picking plum blossoms on the back mountain. The servant was worried that he would freeze to death in the snow, so he called the imperial army and temporarily placed him in the place where the imperial army lived at night."

She seemed to have vaguely heard something about this matter from the conversation between Zhang Shuming and Xiao Jin last night, but since the matter was reported to Xiao Jin, it shouldn't be a big problem, so she didn't ask in detail.

I just didn't expect that this person was actually rescued by Bai Shuang.

"Saving people is not a big problem."

"Yes, it's just that the servant doesn't know where he came from. I saved him once before the servant returned to the palace."

Su Ying's brows and eyes darkened slightly, "What's going on?"

Bai Shuang could only tell Su Ying about saving Si Chen in the city.

After Su Ying listened, her brows and eyes gradually sank.
