"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you got burned? Have you applied the medicine?" Mrs. Qin called out repeatedly, "Someone, come! Quickly get some burn medicine!"
The maids in the main room immediately became busy. Some brought ointment, some took soft pillows to put under Qin Hexuan's arms, and some waited by the side with white bandages.
Yue Tao took out the tool box for applying medicine, first picked out a small amount of burn ointment with an ivory pick, then changed to a pick that was wrapped with cotton and then wrapped with silk, dipped it in the ointment and gently applied it to the wound.
Mrs. Qin sat beside him and blew gently on him, asking from time to time: "Does it hurt?"
"Mom, it's just a minor injury, it's okay." Qin Hexuan didn't expect that just filing a complaint would cause such a big fuss.
Madam Qin comes from a family of military commanders, so she knows that such a small injury is nothing.
Not to mention anything else, the injuries my brothers in the family suffered from practicing martial arts are hundreds or thousands of times more serious than this.
She also knew in her heart that Qin Hexuan must have been injured during all these years in the Wen family.
But now she felt full of guilt towards her son, so naturally she couldn't help but make a fuss.
Even the Princess of Rui was very angry and said, "The prince said a few days ago that some barbarians would enter the capital soon, and asked me to bring a few more people with me when I go out.
"I didn't take it to heart at the time, thinking that families like ours would naturally bring enough people with them when they go out.
"No matter how brave those barbarians are, they definitely won't dare to provoke us..."
Princess Rui sighed as she spoke: "They are barbarians after all!"
Mrs. Qin had been devoted to her son recently, and Qin Songyin had been busy with his case, so she had no idea about this. Upon hearing this, she asked, "Sister, where did these Hu people come from? What are they doing in Beijing?"
"It was said that they were from a Mongolian tribe that had been beaten down and could no longer survive, so they came to the imperial court to seek refuge. They offered a recipe for breeding war horses and even offered to send their daughter to the palace as a hostage.
"If you ask me, this is ridiculous. What's the point of sending a daughter?
“But the emperor has been coveting Mongolian horses for a long time, and not only has he provided them with a place to stay, he has also promised them many benefits.
"The person He Xuan met might be this person."
After getting confirmation from Princess Rui, Qin Hexuan couldn't help but marvel at Qingtian's god-like memory. It was not just that he could remember everything he saw, he could even remember everything he heard.
But what he was more worried about at this moment was: "Aunt, I had a little conflict with the other party. Will it affect the family..."
Upon hearing this, Princess Rui laughed, raised her hand and rubbed Qin Hexuan's head and said, "What are you thinking about, kid!
"She is just the daughter of a leader of a poor Mongolian tribe. The emperor allowed her into the palace to give her face.
"How can she compare with you? She was always so arrogant and unreasonable. Let alone a conflict, even if someone beat her up, she would have to endure it!"
Princess Rui suddenly thought of something and stood up, saying, "No, I have to go to the palace and remind the Empress to not let this ignorant Hu girl corrupt the atmosphere in the palace."
Mrs. Qin understood that her sister's sudden entry into the palace was definitely not just to give the Empress a warning. She was probably worried that this matter would implicate Qin Hexuan, so she went to help inquire about the news.
After all, war horses are a big deal. If that Hu girl takes the initiative to file a complaint in front of the emperor, it is not impossible for the emperor to reprimand He Xuan in order to appease her.
But He Xuan had just returned to Beijing and was not familiar with the people in the Beijing circle. This would definitely damage his reputation, so he should do some work in advance.
This kind of thing should actually be done by her as a mother.
But after all, she is the Princess of Rui, and her relationship with the Queen is closer.
If it was Madam Qin herself, she would first have to submit a card requesting an audience, and then it would depend on whether the Queen had the time and the mood.
However, it was much easier for Princess Rui to enter the palace to meet the Queen.
So Madam Qin did not try to persuade her to stay. As she stood up to see her off, she whispered, "Thank you so much, sister."
"That's too formal. Hexuan is your son, but he's not my nephew, is that right?"
After seeing off Princess Rui, Qin Hexuan glanced at the clock in the corner. The hands had already moved two more than he promised.
He was worried that Qingtian would not be able to wait for him to return and would get anxious, so he was in a hurry to leave too.
Mrs. Qin held him aside and gave him a lot of instructions before letting him go.
Seeing the pointer move one more grid, Qin Hexuan became anxious and walked as fast as he could as soon as he left the house.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Song Tao circling around the door like an ant on a hot pan.
"Didn't I tell you to stay with Qingtian? What are you doing here?" Qin Hexuan was immediately furious. "Are you trying to tell me that I shouldn't have given you a chance last time?"
Song Tao was so frightened that his knees gave way and he fell to the ground, grimacing in pain, "Master, Miss Qingtian has fallen asleep. I'm looking for someone to watch over her inside!"
Qin Hexuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then what are you doing standing there? Are you grinding the millstone?"
Song Tao hesitated again and again and said, "Master, why don't you go in and take a look first!"
"What's wrong?" Qin Hexuan became nervous again and walked quickly into the house. When he reached the door of the inner room, he slowed down his steps.
Seeing this, the maid at the door wanted to bow, but Qin Hexuan sent her away with a wave of his hand.
He gently lifted the curtain and saw Qingtian sleeping curled up on the couch, holding a piece of paper that was almost completely blackened in his hand.
Qin Hexuan tiptoed into the room and tried to take the paper from her hand.
Qingtian whimpered and called out in a tearful voice, "Brother Qin..."
Only then did Qin Hexuan see the tears in the corners of her eyes.
