In the carriage, Song Shuwan was lying on Pei Huan. When she raised her eyes, she saw the man's face close at hand. Their breaths were intertwined, creating a bit of ambiguity for no reason.
Song Shuwan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she shrank back as if she had been burned.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
She quickly backed away, trying to avoid Pei Huan.
Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly shook, and Song Shuwan, who was unprepared, fell down again.
"Well."
There was only a muffled groan, and Pei Huan supported her: "Miss Song, if you bump into her like this a few more times, I will be dead."
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and could only say another disrespectful word in a low voice, and then quickly poked her head out: "What happened?"
At that time, the coachman had already had a chat with the people who blocked the carriage. Hearing this, he immediately replied: "They are here to seek medical treatment."
Seek medical attention?
Song Shuwan's eyes fell, and she saw a man in ragged clothes and two thin children. There was also an old man whose face could not be seen clearly lying on the ground.
The man noticed Song Shuwan's eyes and immediately stepped forward on his knees: "Your Majesty, please show mercy to your mother. Song Ren is willing to work as a cow or a horse to repay Your Majesty."
He kowtowed his head several times with "bang bang bang", and the two children behind him also followed suit.
Song Shuwan saw it and couldn't help but feel weak in her heart.
"Get up first. It's raining heavily outside. Get in the carriage."
Song Ren was stunned, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Men and women are not close to each other, but the common people still follow..."
Song Shuwan interrupted him: "The Crown Prince is also in the car, you don't need to worry."
Hearing this, Song Ren gritted his teeth and put the two children and his mother on the carriage, but he only sat on the shaft.
Song Shuwan didn't say anything, she just took the snacks in the car and gave them to the two children, and then checked Song Ren's mother's pulse.
During this period, Pei Huan remained silent.
It wasn't until he returned to the Hou Mansion that he said, "Place these people in Lan Yuan."
Lanyuan is a small courtyard next to Qingfengyuan. On weekdays, all the servants of Qingfengyuan live there, and it has little connection with the Hou Mansion.
Song Shuwan smiled: "Your Majesty has a kind heart."
Pei Huan said lightly: "Not as good as you."
Song Shuwan was stunned for a moment, looking at An Yi pushing him away, her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Is she kind-hearted?
Maybe some, but she didn't bring people back for no reason.
Less than half an hour later, Song Ren stood in front of Song Shuwan.
"Song Ren, a grassroots man, has met the imperial concubine."
Song Shuwan raised her hand slightly: "No need to be polite, it is fate that you and I have the same surname. However, I have seen your mother's body. She suffered a heavy blow to the heart when she was young. She has been injured for many years. There is accumulation in her heart and the high fever will not go away. I
I can treat it for you, but if she doesn’t take good health, she will suffer from recurrences in the future.”
"What do you think about this?"
Song Shuwan could cure it once, but she didn't have the heart to ask for it again and again.
Song Ren raised his eyes and suddenly lifted the corner of his clothes and knelt down: "If the imperial concubine is willing to save my mother, Song Ren will devote himself to the imperial concubine and die. He will never dare to have any dissent."
Song Shuwan stared at him steadily: "I do need someone by my side, but are you sure you want to follow me?"
Song Ren's forehead hit the ground with a bang: "As long as the Crown Princess saves Song Ren's mother, Song Ren will do his best."
He said it so firmly and without thinking, Song Shuwan sighed.
"Song Ren, you had expected today's decision, right?"
In other words, Song Ren's decision to stop the car today was probably not based on his will.
A trace of shame flashed across Song Ren's face, and his behavior today was indeed what he expected.
"Song Ren has nothing, only his body can equal the kindness of the imperial concubine."
Shaking her head, Song Shuwan motioned for him to get up: "I will treat this person for you, but you don't need to do your best for me. Judging from your words, you are also educated. I will have a medical clinic to open in a few days, and then you can go and treat him."
I'll take care of it."
She was looking for someone to manage the medical clinic. Song Ren's words and deeds had the demeanor of a scholar, and he could spare the dignity of a scholar, so he was a suitable candidate.
Song Ren saluted: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your kindness."
Song Shuwan gave Song's mother a prescription and gave Song Ren money to catch it.
As soon as he finished his work, he saw An Yi approaching, and knew that it was Pei Huan who was looking for him, so he passed by.
"How is Song Ren?"
Fang sat down, and Song Shuwan was confused by Pei Huan's question: "How is Song Ren? Why does the prince ask like this?"
Pei Huan said nothing, but raised his fingers slightly.
An Yi quickly stepped forward and said: "Song Ren, who topped the 13th annual examination on Tuesday, missed the palace examination for no reason, angered the emperor, and did not allow him to enter the court again."
Surprise flashed in Song Shuwan's eyes. She would take the first place in the test. Song Ren could be said to have stepped into the court with one foot, and the other foot was just to see how the emperor arranged it.
It is a pity that such a person missed the palace examination and angered the emperor.
However, this also revealed why he stopped the carriage and opened his mouth to repay the kindness with his body.
Song Ren, there is no way out.
Sighing, Song Shuwan poured a cup of tea: "Did the Crown Prince recognize him in the carriage?"
Pei Huan nodded slightly: "I met him three years ago. Song Ren is quite capable."
Song Shuwan's behavior while drinking tea was praised by the God of War of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Song Ren's ability must be more than good, right?
"Your Majesty, do you want Song Ren?"
She asked tentatively, and then Pei Huan asked: "Are you willing to give in?"
Song Shuwan was silent, Pei Huan really didn't hide his concern at all.
"If the prince wants it, Song Ren has to agree. His mother is weak and can be taken care of."
Speaking of this, Song Shuwan was a little confused: "Is it true that the emperor will not allow him to enter the court again?"
"You have no joke."
Hearing this, Song Shuwan stopped talking.
It rained all night and didn't stop until dawn the next day.
Song Shuwan had just finished washing when she heard the report from the maid outside: "Someone has come from Qingzhuyuan. It is said that the Marquis has invited the Crown Princess to come over."
Song Shuwan wiped the water off her hands, and when she heard this, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and finally she couldn't hold it back any longer.
"Let's wait over there."
"yes."
An hour later, Song Shuwan slowly entered the Qingzhu Courtyard, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a Cuju flying towards her, but she easily dodged it.
Pei Ji ran over right after him, his short, fat and plump appearance completely inhuman.
"It's you again, what are you doing here? Get out!"
Pei Ji pointed at Song Shuwan, with a slit in his eyes that showed anger.
Song Shuwan slightly raised the corners of her lips, bent down, and tapped her eyes with two fingers in a hook shape.
"Second Young Master, children who don't know the rules will be..."
"Song Shuwan!"
A sudden shout interrupted Song Shuwan's words. She followed the sound and found that the speaker was Mr. Hou.
"My daughter-in-law has met Mr. Hou."
Song Shuwan smiled and saluted, then walked past Pei Ji and the Marquis and entered the house. Before she could stand still, several people in the room raised their eyebrows.
Wen Yixiu of the Wen Mansion, Zheng Chengshou, the imperial physician, and...Ning Wang.
