Chapter 184 Xue Ruoxue is a ruthless person
The footsteps of the official were getting closer and closer, and Lin Ying could be heard saying, "Sir Xie, although my family is a small official of the sixth rank, Ruoxue is the granddaughter of Prince Ruyang. If you really test her, aren't you afraid that there will be a rift between Prince Ruyang's mansion and the emperor?" Xie Yicheng
smiled, "Madam Li, you are too serious. The emperor is sympathetic to his subordinates, and Prince Ruyang is loyal. How could they have a rift ?
The emperor insisted that I go through this because someone was gossiping behind my back, saying that the thief was a woman. It just so happened that Miss Xue went to the Ministry of Rites that day, and Master Xue was going to take the imperial examination, and the rumors were very unpleasant.
The emperor said that he couldn't let the loyal couple suffer in the future, so he thought of this way, in order to prevent Xue from being wronged . The young lady was embarrassed, but the emperor treated everyone equally, and even asked Lord Su Lingxi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, to be examined."
Xie Yicheng talked for a long time, but he still couldn't stop Lin Ying's mouth. She said, "Our Ruoxue's health was not good to begin with, and she has been sick these few days. If she gets angry and gets hurt, how can I explain to Prince Ruyang?"
Xie Yicheng pointed to the nanny next to him and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Madam Li, the emperor sent a nanny from the palace just to check on Miss Xue. We are just going through the motions to prevent Miss Xue from being disturbed by gossip."
The nanny in the palace was a very important person to Lin Ying. The emperor was able to consider it to this extent, probably for Ruoxue's reputation.
Lin Ying changed her tone and said politely, "Then it's Aunt Lao, please come this way!"
Xue Ruoxue heard the person getting closer and closer, she untied the bandage on her arm, gritted her teeth, and stretched her arm directly to the boiling medicine stove.
"Ah..." Xue Ruoxue's screams spread far away, Xiao Cui didn't care about the rules Xue Ruoxue had set, and rushed in, only to see Xue Ruoxue lying on the ground with an overturned medicine jar beside her.
"Miss, Miss!" Xiao Cui shouted in panic, "Someone come, Miss was burned by the medicine jar!"
Xiao Cui's shout attracted everyone outside, and Lin Ying and Xiao Cui helped Xue Ruoxue up. Her clothes were stuck to her arm, and the shocking wounds were visible to the naked eye.
Lin Ying shouted anxiously: "Ruoxue, why are you so careless? Oh my God, how can you be so badly injured? How can I explain to your mother?"
Even so, Xie Yicheng still winked at the nanny, and the nanny understood and went up to support Xue Ruoxue, trying to lift her clothes to check the wound.
But Xue Ruoxue was too cruel, and the place where she touched the stove was no longer visible.
The nanny looked concerned: "Madam Li, Miss Xue's injury is serious. It must be treated in time, otherwise it will be bad if she leaves a scar."
Xue Ruoxue looked at Lin Ying with guilt and said: "Aunt, I wanted to pour a bowl of medicine myself, but I suddenly felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily, so I fell down!"
Lin Ying glared at Xiao Cui and scolded: "This is how you take care of your young lady. Does she have to do it herself to boil medicine? Come, drag Xiao Cui away and give her twenty strokes of the cane."
Xiao Cui felt more uncomfortable when she saw the young lady was injured than when she was injured herself. She apologized vigorously: "Miss, it's my fault. I'll go and accept the punishment now!"
Xue Ruoxue held Lin Ying and begged: "Aunt, don't blame Xiao Cui. It was my own carelessness. You spared her."
Lin Ying said: "You haven't thanked your young lady yet. You are so careless, but your young lady still pleads for you."
Xiao Cui blamed herself very much, and said angrily, "It's my fault. I deserve to die!"
Xue Ruoxue then said, "These two people look unfamiliar. I wonder who they are..."
Lin Ying said unhappily, "This is Lord Xie, the Prefect of Jingzhao, and this is the maid in the palace. They are here to investigate the thief who sneaked into the library. They said that the thief was injured, and they want to investigate all the people who have been to the Ministry of Rites in recent days!"
Xue Ruoxue hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sick and confused, and I've delayed you. Since you are here to investigate me, please step aside and let the maid verify my identity so that you can report to the emperor."
Xue Ruoxue was so sensible that Xie Yicheng felt embarrassed.
He said in embarrassment: "The young lady was ill and now injured. I shouldn't disturb you, but the procedures should still be followed. Let the nanny take a look, so that everyone can report to the emperor."
Xue Ruoxue's face was pale, but she still looked considerate, which made the nanny have a good impression of her.
In the end, of course, nothing was found.
Instead, the Empress Dowager asked the nanny who came to examine her to personally bring Xue Ruoxue scar-healing ointment and asked her to walk around the palace more often after her injury healed.
Lin Ying was originally very angry, but when she saw the Queen Mother personally asking about this matter, she became happy again. She said cheerfully: "Ruoxue, you have turned a disaster into a blessing this time. You have won the favor of the Queen Mother. You will not have to worry about finding a good husband in the future!"
Although the Queen Mother's move was more to appease Xue Ruoxue and prevent the people in Ruyang Palace from making trouble, Xue Ruoxue was very happy. In the past, Shen Qingyu tried her best to get close to the neglected eldest prince.
Now, because of Xue Ruoxue's identity, she not only met the eldest princess, but now, the Queen Mother also gave her some face.
Xue Ruoxue sighed, power is really a good thing. A little heterosexual granddaughter of the royal family, no one dares to despise her. If she sits on the seat above thousands of people, how comfortable it would be.
Xue Ruoxue's desire for power was further magnified.
Because of the reasonable treatment, Xue Ruoxue's injury gradually healed.
But Xue Chenguang still felt resentful about Jingzhao Yin coming to Xue Ruoxue's house to examine her.
He said angrily: "Xie Yicheng is really too much. Ruoxue is a delicate and weak girl. Even if you use your toes to think, you know that it is impossible for her to be a thief who sneaked into the library. Besides, why did you steal the test questions?"
After saying that, he thought of Xue Ruoxue asking him to plagiarize poems, and he became suspicious in his heart, but soon, he felt that he was too ridiculous.
He watched Ruoxue grow up since she was a child. How could she enter the library and get away with it when she couldn't even walk on the ridge of the field?
Xue Ruoxue comforted Xue Chenguang kindly: "Brother, Lord Xie is also following orders. The emperor has spoken, what can he do? Am I fine?"
Xue Chenguang said: "I think this emperor is also confused!"
Xue Ruoxue quickly blocked Xue Chenguang's mouth and said: "Brother, you can't say this casually. What if the emperor wants to find fault again? Isn't it false accusation?"
Xue Chenguang was stunned. He was right. The emperor was hitting the Ruyang Palace.
So far, Xue Chenguang has been dissatisfied with the royal family.
Zhao Wanyue and Su Lingxi talked about Xue Ruoxue's injury, and they still blamed themselves: "Do you think we are too worried? Maybe this matter has nothing to do with Xue Ruoxue!"
Su Xiaoxiao threw the milk jug away: [If it wasn't her, then who else could it be? But Xue Ruoxue was really cruel. In order to eliminate suspicion, she burned herself like that. Thinking about how she had been tortured by that little injury, it was quite comforting. ]
