"I don't think so. The two children are innocent and pure, with no ill intentions. They only care about their family, so it's not surprising they would do something like this. However, I am curious..."
Song Wuji took a sip of tea, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, clearly intrigued by the matter.
"What is the young master curious about?"
Qingsong couldn't guess his thoughts, so he scratched his head and couldn't help but ask again.
"I'm curious if the two of them will end up together. I guess not!"
"Why does the young master say that?"
Qingsong was a guard with high martial prowess. He couldn't comprehend such schemes. This was why the King of the Western Regions was willing to place Qingsong by Song Wuji's side, fearing betrayal. However, the King of the Western Regions probably never imagined that someone like Qingsong, who possessed martial strength but lacked the ability to think, would be fond of a strategist like Song Wuji.
"You'll see, Baili Jingxuan and Gu Qianying will never end up together."
Song Wuji was a strategist, always calculating. At this moment, he was confident.
In fact, from the first moment he saw Gu Qianying and Baili Su, he felt something was amiss. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. If it weren't for the saying about past and present lives, he might have even thought that Gu Qianying and Baili Su were together in a previous life.
However, judging by the current situation, it was inevitable that Baili Su would fall for Gu Qianying, and his own sister would have no chance.
It wasn't a major problem, as the two of them hadn't expressed their feelings yet, and he wasn't in a hurry; he could wait patiently.
Meanwhile, after the two children returned, they were naturally reprimanded by Gu Qianying. However, after thinking it over, she didn't get angry with Xiao Yihao and the others. Instead, she comforted Baili Mengran.
From this information, she also gained some insight: the Baili family was indeed plotting something, and these matters were even being kept from her.
Gu Qianying knew some of the inside story but said nothing.
The next day, Gu Qianying went to Baili Su's room as usual to detoxify him.
"Did you not hear anything yesterday?"
Gu Qianying didn't say anything, but Baili Su was the first to speak. Seeing Gu Qianying's still composed demeanor, he found it somewhat strange.
"What sound?"
Gu Qianying feigned curiosity and asked.
His detoxification had now reached the third stage, and his complexion looked much better, far from the deathly pallor he had before. Looking at Baili Su like this, Gu Qianying was somewhat satisfied, as this was the greatest affirmation a patient could give a physician.
"Someone said I might escape."
Baili Su took a sip of tea, finding it somewhat amusing to watch her busy herself with the silver needles, yet feeling an inexplicable peace in his heart.
These days, she kept coming to detoxify him, which had given him a sense of tranquil years, making him even feel as if they had known each other for a long time.
"Why would you escape? Don't you want to marry Song Yu'er? She is indeed willful. If you really marry her, you might suffer in the future."
Gu Qianying put away the silver needles and teased Baili Su, not wanting to pry into others' privacy.
"Who's to say you're wrong?"
Baili Su gave a wry smile and looked at his slightly flushed hands, feeling helpless. If he were as healthy as his elder brother, perhaps things would not be like this. Perhaps the Baili family could contend with the Song family.
Baili Su always felt a sense of helplessness.
"Don't overthink it. Your poison has just been detoxified, and excessive worry is not good for you."
Seeing him sighing, Gu Qianying reminded him again. She wondered what Baili Su thought about all day, being so stressed. If he weren't poisoned, who would be?
"I do want to tell you something. I often had dreams when I was a child, and even after I grew up, I would have such dreams. In my dreams, there was always a tall and handsome man, who seemed somewhat similar to me. He would always appear in my dreams and say strange things. Sometimes I even felt that these were real events that happened in my past life, but how can a person have memories of a past life?"
"I also felt it was impossible, but the dream told me that he was real, truly existing. Every time, he would come to my dreams and tell me these things, but as soon as I woke up, I would completely forget what he said. I only remembered that he always wore a moon-white robe, his hair was tied up high, and he seemed a bit older than me."
Baili Su spoke for a long time. Gu Qianying listened, somewhat stunned. It seemed unlikely for a person to have memories of a past life, but his account was so vivid that it made one doubt the truth of the matter.
However, she found it a bit strange. How could a real person exist in such a situation?
She said, "Are you sure it's not a hallucination caused by the poison?"
To her surprise, Baili Su smiled and said, "No, I feel that these were real events. But I just can't remember when these things happened. I haven't told anyone about these things, but seeing you, I felt a sense of familiarity, which is why I wanted to tell you. I always feel like you have appeared in my dreams too, but I can't remember."
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Su felt that what he said was wrong. In the Western Regions, only the dead appeared in dreams. Dreaming of Gu Qianying? But she was standing right in front of him, alive and well. How could he dream of her? Wasn't that cursing her?
He quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I was talking nonsense. Please don't mind me today."
Gu Qianying waved her hand and said, "It's alright, you should rest well."
Gu Qianying wouldn't argue with someone who was bedridden and recovering from a serious illness. It was natural to speak without thinking, and she wouldn't be so petty.
"Did you continue to have such dreams after you grew up?"
The medicinal properties of this Tianzhu Man poison were fierce, and ordinary people couldn't withstand it. It was already difficult for Baili Su to persist until now. Moreover, the fact that Baili Su could still dream proved that his physical constitution was extraordinary. If he were properly cared for, he would undoubtedly be a healthy person who could live to a ripe old age.
It was just unexpected that he would be framed like this and given such a potent drug. If he recovered, he would likely only be an ordinary person, plagued by illness.
Thinking of this, Gu Qianying felt a sense of pity. As a physician, the last thing she wanted to see was such a scene.
However, she didn't tell the Baili family these words. She would do her best to cure Baili Su, at least to help him recover.
