Shi Qingxue blinked and made a decision secretly. There was a bit of bitterness and embarrassment on his face, as if he had been forced to do nothing.
Only then did she have to tell the truth, "Mother, it's all Qingxue's fault, don't blame sister! Those words were told by Qingxue to Yanyan."
"What?" Ling Ruiyin was stunned.
Shi Qingxue's little face showed a bit of pity, and she sobbed softly: "Because I have always had a dispute with Yan Yan before, and I was worried that she would use her good at painting to embarrass me this time, so I asked my sister to go with Yan Yan. Yan said those words just to dispel her thoughts. Otherwise, it would be too late for Big Sister to hide this scandal, so how could she announce it to the public?!"
Qin Yanyan thought that these two sisters were working together to fool her. She was so angry that she almost jumped up. She pointed at Shi Qingxue's nose and scolded: "Shi Qingxue, you deliberately plotted against me! You are so treacherous and despicable!"
The words used were not merciful at all, causing others to frown and worry about the upbringing of the future fourth prince.
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Yanyan. I apologize to you. If you really want to punish me for this, I will admit it." Shi Qingxue nodded in good temper, with a sad expression on her face that said I was wrong. , The attitude of admitting mistakes is very good.
But before Qin Yanyan could come up with a punishment plan, she sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I made so many calculations, but I never thought that my right hand would be injured, so I have no advantage at all in archery.
This incident tells us that a person must not do bad things, otherwise even God will not let you go! "
There were whines and sighs, as if he had no choice but to accept the fate.
Obviously everyone guessed that Shi Qingxue was pretending on purpose. How could she be helpless? She was simply being good despite getting an advantage!
Ling Ruiyin was amused by this helpless look and couldn't let go of her anger. She couldn't help scratching her little nose and scolded with a smile: "You have learned a lesson?"
Shi Qingxue nodded hurriedly, "Yes! You don't even know that I never thought that you would take archery as a competition event. At that time, I really felt that I had done something wrong for myself! But I didn't want to be that Deserters, I can only bite the bullet, I'm afraid my hands are really useless!"
The fear and panic shown on her little face were just right and would not make people feel fake or exaggerated, but these were not reasons for Ling Ruiyin to stop pursuing the matter.
The old lady's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the gauze on Shi Qingxue's right hand being dyed red again.
Just like Shi Qingxue said, no matter who was right or wrong in this matter, she had learned a lesson. Since the 'sufferer' requested that the matter end here, she waved her hand to stop Qin Yanyan who still wanted to speak, and said calmly Said: "Okay! As the Ai family said before, the competition is about participation, the result is not important. In the past two days, you have allowed the Ai family to see your exquisite archery skills. The Ai family is very satisfied. This matter is over That’s it!”
One sentence sealed the deal, and even if Qin Yanyan was not angry, he could only stop playing.
As soon as the Queen Mother left, everyone went back to their homes. Only Shi Baoning stood beside Shi Qingxue, neither walking nor talking.
Shi Qingxue didn't speak either. She was waiting for an answer, or rather an explanation.
However, Shi Baoning just opened his mouth, turned around and left without saying anything.
"The eldest lady is really too much. It was obviously her fault. You helped her clean up the mess, but she left without even saying thank you. I have never seen such shamelessness..." Dongshuang really felt sorry for her master. Feeling worthless, I would say anything.
Xia Mang quickly scolded the person, glanced at Shi Qingxue, and said: "If you talk nonsense again, be careful and I will sew your mouth shut with a needle."
Dongshuang was so frightened that she quickly covered her mouth, really afraid that Xia Mang would do something. But after taking a closer look, she realized that the other party was playing tricks on her again. She cried and scolded: "Xia Mang, you are so bad, you try to scare me. I hate it." you… "
The two maids made a fuss again, as if they had forgotten all the unpleasant things.
In the past, Qingxue loved to watch the two of them playing tricks, but these two days she had consumed so much energy that she couldn't bring herself to laugh and joke with the maids, so she dragged her tired body back to her bedroom.
As soon as Shi Qingxue arrived at her private room, she was startled by the people inside. Xia Mang Dongshuang, who was following behind, looked at each other and retreated in a tacit understanding, and thoughtfully closed the door for her master.
But Dongshuang was still a little worried, "Liu Niang hasn't left the cabinet yet, isn't it good for us to have a man and a woman living together in the same room like this?"
"Why didn't you object when His Highness the Fourth Highness came to Liu Niang's boudoir before?" Xia Mang walked back slowly.
And now Shi Qingxue obviously trusts that man more than the fourth prince. Didn't you see how Shi Qingxue became so distracted when the man didn't show up these days
Dongshuang scratched her head and agreed with Xia Mang's words spinelessly, saying only: "What should I do with Liu Niang's hand? The imperial doctor said we must apply medicine on time!"
Xia Mang rolled her eyes angrily and cursed the girl for her lack of expression, "otherwise, what do you think Prince Mo is here for?"
She could see the gauze and medicine bottle in Mo Junyang's hand at a glance. Isn't it clear that they were used to apply medicine to her master
In the room, Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junyang without reacting for a while. It was not until the other party stepped forward and grabbed her hand that she retracted her hand in shock and stammered, "Why are you here? "
Mo Junyang looked at her deeply, stubbornly grabbed Shi Qingxue's hand again, and whispered, "Don't move, I'll give you medicine."
The words 'Don't move' were more effective than the emperor's order. Shi Qingxue really didn't move. She obediently allowed the man to remove the gauze for her, wipe away the blood stains that seeped out due to excessive force, and then apply the medicine and bandage again. .
Seeing the snow-white gauze wrapped around her hands, Shi Qingxue couldn't help but asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Mo Junyang was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, I'll leave later."
"That's not what I meant, I..." Shi Qingxue actually wanted to see Mo Junyang, but when she actually saw him, it seemed that it was different. She hadn't figured out how to show off with Mo Junyang yet. Now, I feel a little uncomfortable with the other party's attitude.
Why does it seem like she doesn't want to see him anymore
Shi Qingxue's mind turned around and she pouted, complaining aggrievedly: "You are actually the big bad guy!"
Mo Junyang was so heartbroken by this sight that he didn't even want to say the lines he had originally prepared. He just responded spinelessly: "Well, I'm a bad guy."
Completely implemented the 'you are so beautiful, I love you so, and everything you say is right' rule.
Shi Qingxue had nowhere to get angry.
She thought for a while, then plucked up the courage to speak: "Mo Junyang, I remember that His Highness the Crown Prince got smallpox when I was a child."
Mo Junyang made a movement in his hands, but without raising his head, he made a low 'hmm' sound.
Shi Qingxue waited for a long time but there was no follow-up. Just looking at Mo Junyang's usually calm look, she thought the two were gossiping.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Smallpox! But it can kill people, but he is cured!"
Mo Junyang was silent for a longer time, but he lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly. He could only hear him saying flatly: "Well, Shen Luo is cured."
Still nothing to hide at all.
For a moment, Shi Qingxue really wanted to ask Mo Junyang directly, "Is he also reborn?" She was even sure that if she asked directly, the other party would not lie to her.
But she still held back, and after letting Mo Junyang bandage her wound, she stared at the slender fingers in a daze.
"Okay." Mo Junyang said so, but he didn't look like he was going to take back his hand.
Shi Qingxue didn't retract her hand, and didn't even look at Mo Junyang. She just lowered her eyes and looked at the hands held by the two of them, and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "What does it feel like to be a proton?"
Mo Junyang froze. Even though he was fully prepared to deal with Shi Qingxue, he was stunned and silent when faced with the other party's unconventional questions.
But Mo Junyang was stunned for only a moment, and then he smiled at Shi Qingxue, which was very gentle.
A soft whisper slowly flowed into Shi Qingxue's ears, "I don't remember, it happened decades ago."
Shi Qingxue was stunned. She had not expected or thought that Mo Junyang would confess everything to her so calmly yet so cryptically.
Although, she really just wanted to know how Mo Junyang felt.
After Shi Qingxue got the answer, she suddenly found that she was not as angry or ashamed as she had expected, but was in a calm mood that she had never imagined.
There are just some things you should still say: "I'm sorry."
Mo Junyang raised his head suddenly, his eyes suddenly burst into fierce light, which made Shi Qingxue shrink back in fright, and withdrew her hand from the opponent's hand.
Mo Junyang just smiled to himself: "I'm sorry for what?"
Shi Qingxue was speechless.
She didn't know why she was sorry. She clearly faced Mo Junyang when she was about to die in her previous life, but she could still face him without any guilt, and she didn't feel at all that she had done anything wrong.
Now Shi Qingxue didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, she just thought of Mo Junyang's reaction after her death... She closed her eyes and suppressed her emotions.
Maybe she would never tell Mo Junyang that she had been by his side for nearly fifty years.
Mo Junyang couldn't understand what Shi Qingxue was thinking, but he could see through the guilt in her troubled eyes.
What are you feeling guilty about
The only thing he didn't need was guilt.
The smile on Mo Junyang's face became even bigger, his expression became colder, and he said word by word: "You are not sorry for me. Don't..."
Dislike me.
Mo Junyang didn't say the last three words.
He turned away, suppressed the emotions that shouldn't exist, and asked calmly: "What happened today? How did your hand get hurt?"
"It's okay, I..." Shi Qingxue was just about to fool around, but when she saw Mo Junyang looking over, she unconsciously told everything that had happened in the past few days.
Even the embarrassing gap between the sisters was not concealed, and she had formed a natural trust in Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and thought deeply, and murmured in a low voice: "Shi Baoning!"
