Chapter 1017: Simple truth
Bai Zhi got up and said: “It’s just a piece of skin. It’s not that important.”
She never depends on her appearance to eat. In her opinion, the best face was not as good as having a useful mind.
Xiao Qing disagreed with her words: “As a woman, isn’t it better to have good skin, more than anything else?”
Bai Zhi wanted to go out, but after hearing her words, she immediately stopped and looked back at Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing was fifteen years old this year and has reached the age of marriage. She was slightly taller than her, and she has a delicate appearance, like a little girl next door.
“Human skin has a shelf life. No matter how good the color is, it can’t stand the ravages of time. If the owner of this skin has nothing but her skin, what should she do when her face gone old?”
Xiao Qing couldn’t understand it. She simply blinked because she doesn’t know how to answer.
Bai Zhi patted her chest and said: “The only thing that can withstand the ravages of time is the human heart and mind. People who can live a lifetime ultimately rely on these two things.”
Xiao Qing seemed to understand. Her eyes were filled with worship as she keep looking at Bai Zhi.
Human insights really can limit a person’s thinking. Why can’t she tell these profound truths?
Obviously, this was a very simple truth!
Bai Zhi smiled when she saw her enlightenment, then turned around with the medicine box.
Back in the front courtyard, Song Lang and Old Yuan were talking. The two seemed to be arguing. Their faces don’t look so good.
Hearing Bai Zhi’s footsteps, Song Lang shut his mouth and winked at Old Yuan.
Old Yuan sighed helplessly, turned around, and walked back.
“Are you arguing?” Bai Zhi stepped forward and asked.
Song Lang shook his head: “No.” He didn’t want to say it, but seeing her look curious, he spoke again: “He proposed to leave the capital and said that it is no longer safe.”
“What he said is not wrong. It is indeed no longer safe here, especially after you gave me the prescription.” She looked at Song Lang’s face as she continue to ask: “Knowing this, you still have to give me the prescription?”
Song Lang nodded his head without thinking, “Yes, I still want to give it to you.”
He handed the paper he had been holding in his hand to Bai Zhi: “What I promised will be done naturally.”
Bai Zhi took it bluntly, unfolded the paper in half, and a string of medicine names came into view.
Looking at the names of these medicines, her complexion changed. She had seen this medicine prescription.
Where has she seen it? She couldn’t remember it for a while, but she was 100% sure that she have seen this prescription. But where is it?
“What’s the matter with you?” Song Lang asked urgently when she saw that her expression was wrong.
Bai Zhi hurriedly shook her head: “It’s okay, I’m okay.”
After receiving the prescription, Bai Zhi said to Song Lang: “Actually, Mr. Yuan is right. You really should leave. You can leave now.”
Song Lang pursed his mouth and didn’t speak, but his eyes fixed on Bai Zhi. A thousand words in his eyes was self-explanatory.
Bai Zhi pretended not to see it and said in a low voice: “You offer a life-saving remedy, Prince Jin will not embarrass you, but it is difficult to guarantee that others will not take advantage of this matter. Especially-people from the Kingdom of Jin.”
The crown prince and princess of the Kingdom of Jin encountered things like this in Chu Country. The Jin Country must have received the news at this time. It will be impossible for them to just leave it alone, they will definitely send someone to the capital to investigate this matter.
At that time, he, the son of the rebellious minister, might also be in danger. Coupled with his previous cooperation with Chu Feng, once Chu Feng was held accountable, how could he escape?
