Chapter 280 Plan to Leave
Pei Xuanyi stayed by Xixi's side all the time, fearing that such a situation would happen so that he could make timely rescue.
The reason why he did not prevent little Xixi from attending the palace banquet from the beginning was because he did not expect Qin Shu to accept the invitation of the princess.
The princess invited Qin Shu to the previous palace banquet every year, but Qin Shu never went.
Pei Xuanyi sighed, maybe this is fate.
He gave a look to the maid beside him, and the maid immediately understood.
The maid brought a kettle and wanted to add some water to Qin Xixi's cup, but she accidentally did not hold the kettle steady, and the water poured on Qin Xixi's clothes, wetting her front, causing little Xixi to whimper uncomfortably.
The maid's face turned pale.
She knelt on the ground quickly, not daring to say a word.
When the emperor heard Xiao Xixi's voice, he turned around and saw this scene, and couldn't help but get very angry.
"How do you do your job!"
Having made the emperor angry, the maid naturally had no good end. Just when the eunuch was about to pull the maid away, the little grandson interrupted at the right time.
"During the New Year, there is no killing order. The maid was just a momentary mistake. Let her live."
The emperor thought what the little grandson said made sense, and turned to Qin Shu.
"What do you think, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Shu was still immersed in the tension of Xiao Xixi's inner voice being exposed at this time, and nodded immediately after hearing this.
Not to mention that Xiao Xixi was just splashed with a little cold water, which would not have caused the palace maid to suffer an unprovoked disaster, not to mention that the palace maid's splashing of water gave Xiao Xixi a reason to leave early. Just when she was sleepy, she had a pillow. Qin Shu even suspected that someone was secretly helping them.
Coincidentally, at this time, the little grandson of the emperor made a suggestion.
"Xixi was frightened. Children can't stand the cold, and it's late August. Why don't we let the head of the Qin family and the princess take Xixi to change clothes?"
The reason why the princess was asked to go as well was because although the princess had been given the princess's mansion outside, she still had her palace in the palace.
Letting the princess go with her also provided Qin Shu with a safe place to change clothes for Xixi. Moreover, the princess happened to have a girl's dress that someone else had given her when she gave birth to Fu Jianning, but it just happened to be unused.
It can be said that the little grandson of the emperor had considered it carefully, and the emperor did not think much about it, and nodded in agreement.
And no one else had any objection to this. After all, in their eyes, Xixi was just a child who could not speak, and the sound just now obviously could not have come from her.
Although the princess was a little surprised that the little grandson of the emperor suddenly called her, she looked carefully at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, and it seemed that she was Pei Xuanyi's own person.
She still remembered the face of this palace maid, so this incident was directed and acted by the little grandson of the emperor.
The princess understood what he meant. The fewer people knew about Xixi's inner thoughts, the better. The best way now was to take Xixi away before Xixi expressed her feelings for the second time.
"Then I and the head of the Qin family will leave first."
The ministers hurriedly bowed and saw them off. Qin Shu's body was stiff, and she didn't dare to relax until she left the palace.
But there were palace maids walking with her, so Qin Shu didn't dare to say much.
The two of them took Xiao Xixi to change clothes, and Pei Xuanyi finally had time to deal with the Taifu and the others.
The Qin family's Xiao Si is Qin Xixi's brother. If Xiao Si is punished, Xiao Xixi will definitely be very sad.
Pei Xuanyi showed a thoughtful expression.
We have to think of a way not to let Xiao Xixi be sad.
The Taifu was still shocked and jumped up and down in anger.
"It must be a member of the Qin family. It's okay that the Qin family doesn't want to be punished, but they have to do this, this..."
The Taifu couldn't say what it was, but everyone could guess it.
The young grandson looked at the unyielding attitude of the Grand Tutor and immediately spoke out his thoughts.
"Grand Tutor, don't be impulsive. Today is New Year's Eve after all. How can you say such unlucky words on such a happy day?"
The so-called unlucky words must be what the Grand Tutor just said, that he wanted to hit his head against a pillar and die.
Concubine An had said this "New Year's Day" to the Grand Tutor more than once, and the Grand Tutor always sneered. Now that the young grandson said so, the Grand Tutor would naturally not back down.
"Today we have to make it clear. The Qin family is so thief-like. Can it reduce their crimes even if it is New Year's Eve?"
The Grand Tutor thought that the young grandson was also here to persuade him, so he immediately spoke out.
But Pei Xuanyi had a cold expression.
"The reason why the Grand Tutor said this is because he is worried that Master Tong will be bedridden from now on."
The Grand Tutor was moved when he heard this.
To be honest, Concubine An had said so much before, but none of them hit his pain points, and the little grandson's words made him understand why he was making a fuss here today.
Although the emperor sent the imperial physicians, they all said that Tong Chuanqiong could be cured, but it was inevitable that the root of the disease would be left, and it would be difficult to cure all at once. In
the best case, at most he would feel knee pain on rainy days, but if the situation was not good, Tong Chuanqiong might be useless from now on and could not stand up.
Although the probability of that situation was very small, the Grand Tutor could not help but worry.
That's why he had to lower his old face to plead with the emperor at the palace banquet, but he was just angry.
Since the young grandson said so...
"Does Your Highness have any solution?"
Pei Xuanyi nodded. He had
someone find a doctor long ago. "I do know a quack doctor. He has superb skills and excellent art. He can bring people back to life. It will definitely not be a problem for him to treat the good young lady and make her recover. However..."
The Taifu's mind moved. If this doctor treated Tong Chuanqiong, Tong Chuanqiong would definitely not become a useless person!
"Your Highness, please tell me. I will do my best."
"It's not a difficult thing. As long as the Taifu agrees not to pursue this matter from now on, I will try my best to find this doctor."
This matter is indeed not a difficult thing for the Taifu.
Originally, the Imperial Tutor was pursuing Tong Chuanqiong here because of his injury. Tong Chuanqiong was bedridden, so the Imperial Tutor had to resort to this last resort.
Since the little grandson now has a way to make Tong Chuanqiong recover, he also knows when to advance and retreat, and will not dwell on it anymore.
"Okay, then thank you very much, Your Highness. As long as Chuanqiong can recover as before."
The Emperor saw that the matter was resolved, and he hadn't taken any action yet, and his face was immediately very happy.
His attitude towards the little grandson became a little better, and he ordered a reward, letting the little grandson take these rewards as medical expenses for the quack doctor.
Pei Xuanyi smiled, but didn't say anything. He was still more worried about Xiao Xixi who was taken away.
After Xixi was taken away by Qin Shu and the others, that voice faded in everyone's mind, and only a vague impression remained.
