Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
11. Returnees

Bai Xueyun woke up and found herself lying on the carriage she was riding on to get to the main palace.

He stared at the roof of the carriage for a long time before he finally realized what had happened before.

Then, he got up suddenly and he turned around to look around, seeing prince Chen lying beside him.

Bai Xueyun reached out to touch Chen's forehead and found that his body temperature had dropped, which made him feel relieved. And then, he daydreamed, remained silent.

The attitude of the emperor towards Chen was very subtle. Chen's current situation, which allowed anyone to underestimate him could be attributed to the emperor.

Based on this stance, Xueyun would speculate that the emperor actually wanted Chen dead.

However, when the emperor ordered him to save Chen, the anxiety and anger were also genuine. Of course, Xueyun saw no sign of a father who was worried about the emperor.

Therefore, Bai Xueyun had a theory in mind. Could it be that prince Chen had something that the emperor feared or wanted? So, even though he hated Chen, he would not let him die.

If that is the case ...

Bai Xueyun narrowed slightly, and a hint of ingenuity appeared in her eyes.

When the carriage finally came to a stop, Bai Xueyun, who had returned to her consciousness, lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Qing Yan sending someone to take a loveseat.

Bai Xueyun called out to him, "Qing Yan."

Qing Yan turned around in shock, "an empress, are you awake yet?"

"Hm." Xueyun continued, "How did prince Chen and I get back to the carriage?"

"I don't know, a servant from the Palace told me to drive the carriage in the main Palace. After I arrived, the prince and you were taken to the carriage." Qing Yan recalled what happened at that time and responded anxiously.

"Oh, I get it." With that, Xueyun returned to the carriage and glanced at the unconscious Chen, before she bowed and tendered Chen's body in her hands, "prince, I hope you don't mind."

Bai Xueyun thought that she would hold a light body, as Chen looked thin. However, when Chen made his rendezvous, he found that Chen's weight exceeded his expectations, which made him stumble and almost fall with Chen on his arm.

Fortunately, Bai Xueyun managed to stabilize herself in time, but she was quite surprised at how heavy Chen was, which did not match her appearance.

Qing Yan's voice came from outside, "embress, let me bring the prince down from the carriage."

Xueyun regained her senses and replied, "i'll do it."

With that, he got off the carriage with Chen in his hand. He placed Chen on the padded chair that was ready outside gently, and he set his gaze on Chen, sizing up the unconscious person without holding back.

No matter how hard he tried, he could not match the weight on his arms now with a weak face on the soft chair with his thin body.

The servants brought Chen back to his residence, and Bai Xueyun followed.

This self-healing ability of the body shocked Xueyun once again. He thought that it worked on physical injuries, but surprisingly, it could do more than that.

When he took care of Chen, he must have suffered from heat stroke and even dehydration, but at this moment, not only did the summer heat inside his body disappear, but also the symptoms of dehydration disappeared, he said, which means his self-healing abilities have made him recover to the best condition.

While Bai Xueyun was thinking, Chen had already been brought back to his residence.

"You can all go." Bai Xueyun walked in and dispersed the crowd.

Shortly after, Xueyun and Chen were left both in the room.

Bai Xueyun moved the chair beside Chen and sat down, before she placed her fingers on Chen's wrist. As usual, he could not feel Chen's pulse.

Bai Xueyun was not so surprised this time, but her eyes were filled with an irresistible curiosity. It was like a small insect gnawing at his heart, making him feel itchy.

While Bai Xueyun was staring at Chen, the images as she looked after Chen in the main Palace treatment room appeared in her mind. It was an urgent situation at the time and Xueyun did not pay much attention. In retrospect, when he took off Chen's clothes, that body looked like it was pale but not too thin. Did he see the muscles in Chen's body? Xueyun wondered.

A simple way to verify his memory was to take off Chen's clothes now. After all, Chen was just lying in front of him, unconscious. There's the best chance he can get.

No sooner said than done. Bai Xueyun started to undress Chen after she glanced at Chen with a guilty conscience.

As soon as Xueyun unbuttoned her collar, she was blown away by that delicate and soft skin, which would even reflect light.

Bai Xueyun could not help but gulp down. In her previous life, she did not care so much for a man, going and getting out of dangerous situations all year, she had no time for a relationship. At this moment, when he suddenly saw a man who had everything to his liking, Bai Xueyun was inevitably attracted.

But he was rational enough to keep a hand away from Chen while he was still in a weak state.

Bai Xyeyu undressed Chen all the way down, and his chest and stomach were all visible. Other than fair and smooth skin, Bai Xueyun saw muscles as expected, which were not too strong but toned.

Bai Xueyun stroked Chen's body instinctively and it felt quite good, which was much better than her tattered body.

Bai Xueyun withdrew her hand reluctantly and put on Chen's clothes back before she met Chen's gaze as she looked up.

"prince, are you awake?" Bai Xueyun regained her senses, as if nothing had happened.

"Ms." Chen responded with a weak voice.

Bai Xueyun poured him a cup of tea and brought him over. He helped Chen get up with one hand and embrace his shoulder before giving Chen the cup.

A refreshing tea slipped down his throat and Chen felt much better.

Bai Xueyun asked with concern, "prince, how are you feeling now?"

"i'm fine." Chen waved his hand and looked at Bai Xueyun before he said with a slight smile on his face, "Well, my dear, what do you think of my figure? Are you satisfied with that?"

After hearing Chen's hoarse voice, Xueyun felt like it had a magical effect and made her feel numb all over her body.

However, he did not feel ashamed of being caught up in the act, instead, he looked at Chen and said, "the prince is indeed stout, indeed, which doesn't suit a patient who always stays in bed because of his illness."

With that, Bai Xueyun shrugged and looked at Chen with a smile, as if she was just asking an insignificant question, and she looked gentle and harmless.
