Chapter 23 Take Off Your Clothes
"Hey! Sister Xue, please don't move!"
Xue Youli threw the quilt in his arms onto the bed and rushed to Xue Qingyao.
Seeing that she was about to stand up, Xue Youli grabbed her shoulder and pushed it down suddenly, his face tense and concerned. "A broken arm can be a serious injury. If the hand bones are dislocated, it can easily cause infection and necrosis. In serious cases, amputation will be required, and you will become a one-armed nobleman!"
Xue Qingyao didn't expect her to be so strong. She just felt her shoulders sink and she fell back to the ground.
The fall was so severe that she felt her tailbone was about to break.
Xue Qingyao sat on the ground for a long while before his brain started to function again.
She is not an ignorant child, how could she be frightened by Xue Youli's few words?
"Sister Xue, I didn't want to see you punished by the emperor for an unintentional mistake, but why did you bully me like this? Is it because I was also left behind by the emperor to take care of his illness, which hindered your eyesight?"
These words sounded like an accusation, and it was almost as if he was pointing at Xue Youli's nose and saying that she was arrogant and intolerant because of her favor.
Well, since Xue Qingyao keeps saying that he was bullied, if I don't prove the guilt, wouldn't I be suffering this injustice in vain?
"Sister, you misunderstood me. I was worried that your arm was injured and you didn't know it. If you delay treatment, it will hurt yourself. I am not talented, but I know a little about medicine. Please help your sister."
As Xue Youli spoke, his other hand grabbed Xue Qingyao's arm with lightning speed.
The next moment, there was a crisp "click" sound, and she removed Xue Qingyao's arm on the spot.
"Ah!" The sudden severe pain made Xue Qingyao scream, and his face turned pale as paper in an instant.
Xue Youli turned her head and looked at the man sitting on the bed watching the show, "Your Majesty, Sister Xue's arm is indeed broken. In my opinion, you should ask an imperial physician to come and take a look at her as soon as possible!"
Xue Qingyao was in pain and anger. With red eyes, she complained to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, it was her! She broke my hand on purpose! I am in so much pain..."
Xue Youli staggered back two steps, her pretty face full of disbelief, "Sister Xue, didn't you say your arm was broken? Why are you saying now that I broke it? I'm a weak woman who finds even holding a bowl too heavy for long enough, how could I have the strength to break your arm?"
She, she actually dares to pretend to be innocent?
Xue Qingyao was so angry that she almost spit out a mouthful of old blood on the spot, "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Didn't you just tell the Emperor not to punish me? Why did you change your mind again? Could it be that what you said before was not true?"
Xue Youli looked as if he had suffered a great injustice, but he sneered in his heart.
[Xue Qingyao, today I will expose your true colors to Murong Che! As long as Murong Che is not stupid, he will never trust you in the future!]
Xue Qingyao was left speechless by Xue Youli's questions.
She fought with Xue Youli several times and was defeated each time.
Now Xue Youli broke her arm in front of the emperor and slapped her in the face.
She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only grit her teeth and continue to act weak, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. Sister Xue misunderstood me...ah...my arm hurts so much..."
At this moment, she was isolated and helpless, and the only way to resolve her predicament was to use the injury to her arm to end this topic that she had brought up as soon as possible.
Murong Che glanced at her and said casually, "Wang Defa, go get the imperial physician for Ms. Xue."
"yes."
Wang Defa quickly invited Dr. Cheng from the Imperial Hospital to come over.
After Doctor Cheng examined Xue Qingyao's injuries, he grabbed her arm and exerted a little force.
After a crisp sound, he stood up and bowed to the man on the bed, "Your Majesty, Mr. Xue's arm has been reattached. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
"Um."
Murong Che responded, and after Doctor Cheng left, he said directly to Xue Qingyao, "Since Doctor Cheng asked you to have a good rest, you should go back first."
Xue Qingyao's face turned even paler when she heard this than when her arm was removed. "Your Majesty! My hand is fine. Please don't chase me away! I want to stay here and serve you!"
Just now, all the concubines in the harem saw that the emperor left her and Xue Youli behind. If she left now, what would those women think of her?
He must think that she is not as good as Xue Youli, who was driven out of the Changsheng Palace by the emperor!
Therefore, she absolutely could not leave Changsheng Palace before Xue Youli.
Murong Che could guess what she was thinking. Seeing that she insisted on staying, he ignored her and turned to Xue Youli beside him and said, "I'm thirsty. Lady Xue, pour me a cup of tea."
"yes."
Xue Youli quickly poured the tea and brought it to the bedside.
She glanced at Xue Qingyao, who was full of jealousy, and deliberately said loudly, "Your Majesty, the tea is a little hot. Let me blow it for you."
[Xue Qingyao, since you are staying here and refusing to leave, then open your eyes and watch me and Murong Che show our affection. I swear, if I don't piss you off to death today, I will take your last name.]
Murong Che listened to her inner thoughts and almost laughed out loud.
She has the same surname as Xue Qingyao, and her surname is still Xue. What's the point of taking this oath?
He muttered silently in his heart, raised his eyelids, and looked at Xue Youli who was blowing the tea with his cheeks puffed out, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
After the tea had cooled down, Xue Youli said, "Your Majesty, come, let me feed you."
As she spoke, she put her arm around the man's shoulders and thoughtfully brought the tea to Murong Che's mouth.
Xue Qingyao stood by and watched the two of them being so affectionate with each other, and he almost bit his teeth in hatred.
Since God gave her a new life, he should have stood on her side. Why did he let her lose to Xue Youli again and again?
In front of the bed, as Xue Youli approached, Murong Che could smell her refreshing and pleasant fragrance.
For some reason, his mind suddenly recalled the scene of her kissing him last night.
Murong Che's ears felt hot, and he quickly took the teacup from her hand, "Ahem! I'll drink it myself."
After drinking, he handed the cup to Xue Youli, but he didn't look at her, "Pour another cup."
"yes."
This happened several times, and Murong Che discovered that he could only clearly hear what Xue Youli was thinking when she was within ten feet of him.
Once the distance exceeded, he could no longer hear her thoughts.
He tried hard to recall the details of his recent interactions with Xue Youli.
Suddenly I realized that since Xue Youli kissed me last night, I seemed to be able to hear her thoughts without any contact with her.
It's just that I was stunned by her kiss at that time and didn't notice it at the first time.
Does this mean that being in close contact with her will help me eavesdrop on her thoughts?
After coming to this conclusion, Murong Che decided to find another opportunity to verify his guess.
So, Murong Che made another excuse, saying that his body was sticky, and ordered someone to bring a basin of warm water over, "Lady Xue, come here and wipe my body for me."
"yes."
[It's just a cold, how can it make me so exhausted? It seems that being a favorite concubine is not something that ordinary people can do! ]
Xue Youli complained in her heart, but she did her job very clearly.
She placed the copper basin filled with warm water beside the bed and then reached out to pull the man's collar.
Murong Che looked at her bold movements and grabbed her hand, "What are you doing?"
Xue Youli met his inquiring gaze, her beautiful almond eyes were full of frankness, "Take off your clothes, if you don't take off your clothes, how can I wash your body?"
