Mother Tian hurriedly rolled around holding the tablet and stood up. She carefully held the tablet in her hands and looked at Empress Dowager Tian to plead guilty: "It was all my fault... Please punish me, Empress Dowager!"
How could Empress Dowager Tian have the heart to punish her? Her daughter's spirit tablet was almost damaged. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She felt dizzy and finally stood up. She reached out her hand without hesitation and touched the spirit tablet herself. She pursed her lips and checked it tremblingly. She was relieved when she found that there was indeed no damage at all.
The little palace maid Qinghe beside her hurried to support Tian Xun who was still on the ground.
"Oh! Miss Tian, your hand is bleeding!" Qing He opened her eyes wide and hurriedly wanted to help Tian Xun stop the bleeding. Seeing that Tian Xun's wound was a little hideous, she couldn't help but gasp.
This commotion has attracted the attention of the people around. Tian Xun bit his lip, his eyes full of tears, but he still gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's not a big deal, it doesn't hurt, the spirit tablet of Her Royal Highness the Princess is more important."
As she spoke, she hurriedly asked Mother Tian, "Mom, are you okay? How is His Highness's spirit tablet?"
What a kind-hearted girl! Everyone couldn’t help but admire her in their hearts.
Queen Mother Tian was very moved, and she even spared some attention and tenderness for her: "It's okay, it's okay, you little girl..."
As she spoke, she took a few steps forward. When she saw the wound on Tian Xun's elbow, she couldn't help but be stunned. She didn't expect Tian Xun's injury to be so serious.
Seeing that the skin on her elbow was all broken and bleeding, she frowned and said, "How can it be okay? Hurry up and ask the doctor to take a look."
At the same time, he asked someone to take Tian Xun back to the palace first.
Tian Xun refused, hesitating and shaking his head: "My queen, I also want to do my best for His Highness, so I'd better wait until the ceremony is over before I go back."
"It's not a big deal at this moment." Even though she knew that Tian Xun was a girl with a lot of plans in her mind, and that she said this to please herself, Tian Xun had indeed risked her life to save the spirit tablet just now. Empress Dowager Tian had a better impression of her, and was even more moved by her words. She frowned and reprimanded her, "I know you are filial and kind, but this is not the time to show off. Everyone has seen your sincerity just now, and Jingming must have seen it too. Okay, go back and bandage your wound, or you will leave any scars. After all, you are a girl."
Tian Xun responded timidly with a "yes" and subconsciously looked at Xiao Heng beside her, but found that Xiao Heng was not looking at him, but at Tian's mother. She couldn't help but be startled.
When Empress Dowager Tian saw her go to see Xiao Heng, she immediately understood what was going on. After a moment's thought, she said, "Ah Heng, please help me send her back."
Xiao Heng reacted, his eyes fell on Tian Xun for a moment, then quickly moved away, shaking his head lightly: "I'm afraid this will damage Miss Yu Tian's reputation, so let the housekeeper in your palace go."
Queen Mother Tian did not force him. She had a good understanding of Xiao Heng's personality and knew that he would be soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. Once he made up his mind, he would be disgusted if you forced him to do something. So she just coughed and said, "Yes, what Ah Heng said makes sense. In that case, let Xiao Xun go back and rest first."
After a pause, he gently comforted Tian Xun: "I will come to see you when I get back. You take a rest first."
Tian Xun felt a huge gap in his heart.
avoid arousing suspicion
Anyone in the world can say such things, but it is particularly ridiculous for Xiao Heng to say such things. Is he, Xiao Heng, a person who cares about his reputation and these red tapes?'
At the palace banquet in the evening, he was the one who stood in front of Su Yao and shot the black bear to death!
Why didn't we need to avoid suspicion at that time? Is it because it was Su Yao that we didn't need to avoid suspicion
She felt ashamed and embarrassed, and also found it very confusing. She couldn't help but look straight at Xiao Heng
Doesn't Xiao Heng have a heart? !
She has been working hard to deliver messages to Xiao Heng during this period of time, but she cares more about any movement than Xiao Heng himself. Is he really unaware of anything
Xiao Heng was also looking at her. When he looked at her, his eyes were clear and without any emotion, as if in his eyes, she was just a tree or a blade of grass, and there was not a trace of appreciation in his eyes.
Tian Xun closed his eyes, and with tears in his eyes, he stood up with the help of Qinghe. He waited until they returned to his dormitory without saying a word.
Qing He was a little worried and hurried over to cut the fabric off the injured area, fearing that the wound would stick to the clothes.
Tian Xun dodged without any expression, and shook her head to indicate that it was not necessary. When she met Qing He's puzzled gaze, she suppressed her annoyance and smiled at Qing He: "I'm afraid of pain, let's wait until the imperial physician comes. Qing He, please pour me a cup of tea, I'm a little thirsty."
Qinghe didn't dare to move anymore, and quickly put down the things in her hand and went out.
Only Tian's mother and Tian Xun were left in the dormitory.
Seeing the shocking injury on Tian Xun's elbow, Tian's mother couldn't help but remind him, "If your clothes stick to the wound, it will take longer to heal."
"I know." Tian Xun raised his eyelids and glanced at her, then curled the corners of his mouth lightly: "So what? Only if the injury is impressive, will the Queen Mother remember why I was injured."
Mother Tian wanted to say something but stopped herself. She had realized that the little girl in front of her only looked gentle, but in fact she was more thoughtful than anyone else.
She didn't dare to say anything more, and could only sigh heavily: "I have done what I promised to do for you, girl, if you have no other instructions..."
Before Tian's mother could finish, Tian Xun interrupted her: "What are you talking about, mother? We have only just started. There are still many places where I need your help. If you say so, then I have worked in vain."
Mother Tian was stunned: "But you clearly weren't... "
"Nothing?" Tian Xun looked at her with a half-smile: "What did I say? I said that I had to rely on mom to get the full trust of the Queen Mother, but why didn't mom listen? Is this considered complete trust now?"
This is just the beginning.
Mother Tian's mouth was dry and her tongue was parched. She felt that her whole back was filled with gloom when she was looked at by her. Before she could say anything, the imperial physician came. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned. When the imperial physician came in and saw Tian Xun's injuries, she couldn't help frowning: "This won't do. The girl's wound is stuck to her clothes. Now we have to cut open her clothes. I'm afraid that the girl will suffer a lot, and the scar may be bigger..." (To be continued)
