When the queen heard the news, she quickly ordered people to find something from the warehouse and send it to Qingtian to calm him down.
This matter alarmed the palace and soon spread to everyone in the court and the country.
Mrs. Qin also brought Qin Hexuan to visit Qingtian.
Qin Hexuan said to Qingtian, "Master said that if you're not feeling well, you don't need to go for the next few days. Wait until you're better. There's no rush these few days anyway, and you don't have to worry about falling behind in your studies."
Qingtian moved her little toe, which was wrapped up like a small bun under the quilt, and said helplessly, "Brother Qin, I'm really fine. Please tell Master not to worry. This is just a minor injury and won't affect anything."
"So where exactly was he injured? My father said it was quite serious, and he even said that the Empress had punished the two maids for it!"
"Ah?" Qingtian was startled when he heard this and said quickly, "The Imperial Aunt punished the two maids? But this is not their fault at all. It's all my fault that my shoes were a little tight and I didn't tell Mother.
"What should I do? I'm the one who got them punished!"
Qingtian seemed very afraid of being punished.
Because after Shan Lao Da had a son, the couple often found various excuses to punish Qingtian. They either beat her or scolded her, and sometimes they even locked her in a pigsty or vegetable cellar.
The two nuns who taught me the rules were very kind and treated me well. What should I do if I was punished for my injury?
The more Qingtian thought about it, the more worried he became, and he was almost crying.
Qin Hexuan was startled by her and quickly said, "What I just said was just hearsay, it may not be accurate.
"Don't cry, I'm going to go find my mom and ask her about this, okay?
"Actually, I think these are definitely rumors. The Queen is such a gentle person, she would definitely not punish others so easily."
"Really?" Qingtian raised her little face and looked at Qin Hexuan with red eyes, "Brother Qin, don't try to trick me."
"No, no, I'll go and ask you clearly right now." Qin Hexuan quickly got up and went to the outer room to ask Mrs. Qin about the situation, and inevitably got scolded.
In the end, Princess Rui assured Qingtian again and again that neither of the two maids had been punished and that she would be able to see them again in a few days after her toes healed. Only then was the matter over.
