After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

She didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, she was very touched that Xiao Jianting still cared about her feelings even though he was so injured.

But what made Xiao Jianting have such a misunderstanding? It was probably because she sighed when he showed her wound, and he thought she was frightened.

Li Yaoyuan took a deep breath and asked him with a smile, "Master Xiao, do you know why I was so frightened that I cried out?"

He shook his head.

She said: "I was also scalded when I was a child. My wet nurse immediately sprinkled medicine powder on the burned area. Miraculously, the wound did not blister and healed after a few days of using the medicine.

But there was a spot on my ankle that I hadn’t noticed and hadn’t been sprinkled with medicine powder. After a quarter of an hour, it started to swell and fester. I had to go back and forth for more than half a month before it was completely healed.”

She looked at the back of Xiao Jianting's hand, where there were several yellow and white blisters of various sizes. She couldn't help but frown again, "I was just thinking that if the young master had sought medical treatment immediately after being burned, perhaps the condition would not have been so serious until now."

After all, it was Xiao Jianting who was injured because of her, and she felt bad about it.

Xiao Jianting was concerned about the following point: "I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and my skin is rough and thick, but it still hurts so much. When Miss Li was burned when she was young, the skin of a child is very delicate, so wouldn't it hurt a hundred times more?"

Li Yaoyuan was stunned.

Xiao Jianting's face turned red again, "Sorry, I... didn't mean to offend the girl, I just... said it out of emotion."

She laughed dumbly and said jokingly, "This is the third time that you have apologized. Could it be that in your eyes I am such a petty person that I get angry and annoying at the slightest provocation?"

"No, sorry..." Xiao Jianting's throat choked, feeling that he was misunderstood. He was eager to explain, but he said the wrong thing as soon as he opened his mouth.

At this time, the doctor arrived. Xiao Jianting felt relieved as if he had been pardoned, but his face was still very hot.

Li Yaoyuan gave up her seat and asked the doctor to sit down and treat the patient.

When the doctor saw the wound, he smacked his lips and shook his head, "Sir, why did it take until now? If it had been treated earlier, it wouldn't be so serious."

Xiao Jianting and Li Yaoyuan looked at each other, and they both raised the corners of their mouths at the same time.

"Ahem...something delayed me just now." Xiao Jianting asked seriously, "Mr. Lin, will this affect my ability to hold the sword?"

Mr. Lin raised his eyes and looked at him as if he was a fool.

He was a military doctor in the barracks. He had treated hundreds of Xiao Jianting's wounds, if not thousands. The two had a good relationship, so he spoke bluntly, "Sir, this is a burn. It won't affect your sword-holding. At most, it will affect your chopstick-holding for a few days."

Mr. Lin sighed helplessly and took out tools from the medical box to treat his wounds.

Li Yaoyuan couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect that Master Xiao was calm and capable in front of outsiders, but so... stupid in private.

Hearing her laugh, Xiao Jianting felt even more embarrassed and wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

This is about as humiliating as falling off a horse.

Xiao Jianting silently turned his face to the other side...

Li Yaoyuan was afraid that he was really ashamed and would not dare to speak to her in the future, so she turned her body quietly and stopped looking at him.

She thought she was old-fashioned enough and was often teased by younger girls because of this, but she didn't expect that there was someone even more old-fashioned than her.

It's funny to think about him apologizing profusely...

Mr. Lin applied medicine to Xiao Jianting and told him not to scratch the blisters. Let the medicine seep in slowly and the water in the blisters be absorbed dry. Then it would be easier to deal with.

If you scratch the blisters, they are likely to become infected, pus oozing out, and rotting.

Fortunately, it was winter, so the medicine wasn't that uncomfortable, but because it was winter, the wound healed slowly.

Xiao Jianting thanked Mr. Lin and saw him off.

Turning around, his eyes met Li Yaoyuan's, and both of them were hesitant to speak.

“Xiao…”

"plum……"

The two swallowed their words and said in unison: "You speak first."

Li Yaoyuan knew that if she didn't speak first, he would keep pushing it away, so she had no choice but to say, "Mr. Xiao, thank you for what you did just now."

Xiao Jianting was stunned, "I should be the one to apologize to Miss Li."

He looked at her with a sincere gaze, "I know Miss Wang deliberately bumped into you, and I should seek justice for her, but..."

He has his reasons.

Li Yaoyuan shook her head, "I know you have no choice."

She turned around and looked at the high wall behind her. "I grew up in such an environment of intrigue and deception, so I know very well what it means to be cautious in words and deeds, what is family honor, when to endure and when to fight for it. I understand the difficulties in your heart."

He couldn't make a big deal about this because of the Xiao family. From the beginning, Li Yaoyuan didn't expect Xiao Jianting to make Wang Yuejiao's evil deeds public. Because she had a personal experience of this kind of insincerity.

She was surprised that he went out of his way to apologize.

The excuses Xiao Jianting had prepared were completely useless.

After hesitating for a long time, he said: "If Miss Li feels wronged, I will do my best to compensate her.

What does the girl want? Jewelry? Gold and silver jewelry? "

After saying this, he felt that it was too vulgar and an insult to Li Yaoyuan!

"What are your hobbies? Playing the piano? Painting? Writing poetry?"

This seems like prying into a girl's privacy, which is so offensive!

Xiao Jianting was so anxious that his face turned red.

Li Yaoyuan sneered, "Young Master, the greatest compensation for me is to take good care of your injuries. If you can no longer draw a bow or wield a sword because of me, wouldn't I become Liuli's sinner?"

Xiao Jianting realized belatedly that she was teasing him and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The two returned to the front hall together.

Xiao Jianting walked in front, and Li Yaoyuan was slightly behind him.

Passing by the flower garden, I found that the flowers in it had withered and fallen, and the grass and trees in the garden were sparse, creating a desolate scene.

Xiao Jianting sighed and said unintentionally: "If there were plum blossoms in the garden, they would be in full bloom right now."

Li Yaoyuan was inspired to write: "I am in the forest of ice and snow, not mixed with the fragrant dust of peaches and plums. Suddenly, a fragrance spreads overnight, spreading the spring to the world."

Xiao Jianting blushed in embarrassment, "Miss Li, I joined the army when I was six years old, and followed my father to the battlefield when I was thirteen. I have never read any books and can only vaguely recognize a few words.

I don’t understand the poetry you are talking about.”

For the first time, he regretted not studying more. Now, when chatting with girls, he couldn't even keep a conversation.

Li Yaoyuan admired his straightforwardness and never expected that her unintentional words would embarrass him.

"Sorry, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Jianting shrugged, "It's okay, you don't know anything about it, and it's the truth, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Miss Li is very talented, I am ashamed of myself."

She added: "Young Master, why don't you belittle yourself? I just know a few more words. Young Master Xiao fights in battle, defends the country, and protects the people, which is more admirable."

"Miss Li is too modest..."

"Mr. Xiao is young and promising..."

"Miss Li is well-educated and well-mannered..."

"Master Xiao leads the troops to fight..."
