Chapter 343 I Won't Hurt You

Zhao Meiren's scream shocked everyone present.

Everyone looked at Zhao Meiren.

I saw that half of her body was wet, and the scalding hot water soaked through the clothes, causing her to be in constant pain.

The exposed skin was red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blistered in some places.

The stall owner was frightened and froze in place, not knowing what to do.

The children also hurriedly stepped back, not daring to approach Zhao Meiren.

Xiao Xixi's reaction was the fastest, she quickly asked the Yulin guards to help Zhao Meiren into the carriage, and then hurried back to the inn.

After the imperial doctor helped Zhao Meiren to treat the burn on her body, she said to Concubine Xiao who was standing beside her.

"The little lord has a large area of ​​burns, and the burns on the neck and the back of the hands are the most serious. Wei Chen has given her a special ointment for burns. Next, as long as she takes a good rest and takes medicine and changes the medicine on time every day, there should be no problem. What a problem."

Zhao Meiren, who was lying on the bed, asked with difficulty, "Then will there be scars on my body?"

The imperial doctor answered truthfully: "Scalding will inevitably leave scars. Weichen has several remedies for scar removal, which can help you lighten the color of scars."

Zhao Meiren stared into his eyes and asked, "Can it only be lightened? Can't the scar be completely removed?"

"I'm afraid I can't."

If the scars cannot be completely removed, this means that Zhao Meiren can only see people with scars in the future. What is the difference between this and disfigurement? !

Zhao Meiren could not accept this cruel reality.

She cried like crazy: "You can't even get rid of a scar, what kind of imperial doctor are you? Get out of here! Get out!"

The imperial doctor knew that she was in a bad mood right now, so he didn't take her rebuke to heart, he cupped his hands to her and backed out silently.

Xiao Xixi saw that Zhao Meiren was in deep despair and looked like she had lost her sense of reason. She knew that no matter what she said at this time, Zhao Meiren would not listen, so she simply walked out.

Xiao Lingfeng had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Concubine Xiao came out, he immediately greeted him and asked.

"Miss, are you not hurt?"

Xiao Xixi shook her head: "I'm fine, Zhao Meiren was injured."

Xiao Lingfeng already knew the general process of the matter from the mouths of the Yulin guards. Because of the distance and the chaos on the scene at the time, the Yulin guards could not see how the stove was overturned.

But Xiao Lingfeng already had a judgment in his heart. He looked left and right to make sure that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice.

"Niangniang, how do you plan to explain this to the prince?"

Xiao Xixi: "Of course, tell the truth."

Xiao Lingfeng frowned: "How can you tell the truth about this kind of thing? What if the prince blames you for this?"

Xiao Xixi asked back: "I didn't do this, how could the prince blame me?"

Xiao Lingfeng originally thought that his eldest daughter was very smart, but now, he felt that she was really stupid and naive.

The harem battle has always been omnipotent. Today, whether or not Concubine Xiao did it, in the eyes of others, it has nothing to do with Concubine Xiao. Zhao Meiren will definitely seize this point and die. Also drag Concubine Xiao into the water.

If Concubine Xiao wanted to tell the truth, what was waiting for her would be the crown prince's fault.

Xiao Lingfeng said in a deep voice, "You have to listen to me on this matter. You must never tell the truth to the crown prince. You have to take yourself out and let Zhao Meiren bear the consequences alone."

Xiao Xixi: "She should bear the consequences for this matter."

She had deliberately persuaded Zhao Meiren to stay at the inn with peace of mind. It was Zhao Meiren who had to go out.

Since Zhao Meiren made her own choice, she has to be responsible for all the consequences. Xiao Xixi doesn't feel that she has to take any responsibility for this matter.

Xiao Lingfeng's brows furrowed even tighter.

"How can things be as simple as you think? I've already had the stall owner who sold roasted sweet potatoes arrested, and the children are also temporarily imprisoned. I'll have people arrange everything and promise not to. Let them say something they shouldn't say. Go back and wait for the prince to ask about it. You said that you were frightened at the time and didn't notice how Zhao Meiren was injured. If the prince doesn't believe it, you can take it there. Pushing on a few kids, whatever, you just have to get yourself out of this thing."

Xiao Xixi became more and more confused: "What did you arrest those people for? They are innocent."

Xiao Lingfeng emphasized in a serious tone: "Your top priority is to ensure your innocence. Whether others are innocent or not has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Xixi still shook her head: "That won't work."

Xiao Lingfeng was speechless at her stubbornness and stupidity, but what could he do? This is his daughter. Her honor and disgrace are related to the future of the Xiao family. Even if her brain is not good, he has to find a way to help her.

"You just do as I say. I'm your father, and I won't hurt you."

At this time, a palace maid came over with the soup that had just been boiled.

Xiao Lingfeng immediately took a step back and bowed his hands to Concubine Xiao.

"There is still something to do at the end, so let's say goodbye first."

He turned around and strode out of the inn.

Xiao Xixi returned to her room and saw roasted sweet potatoes, roasted corn, and roasted chestnuts on the table.

These were all bought by her before, and she couldn't finish them in time, so they were brought back.

She didn't know when the prince would come back. The incident happened to Zhao Meiren just now, and she couldn't go out now.

Being idle is also boring, Xiao Xixi picked up a bag of roasted chestnuts and went to the room of the eldest prince Luo Yechen.

Luo Yechen was lying on the bed to recuperate at the moment, and a palace maid knelt beside the bed and beat his legs.

When he saw Concubine Xiao coming, he couldn't help but twitch.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Xixi found a seat and sat down on her own, peeling chestnuts and saying, "I heard that you are ill, I will come to see you."

Luo Yechen looked at her familiar posture, and the corners of her mouth twitched even more: "Are you here to visit a doctor, or are you here to pass the time?"

"Mainly to see you and pass the time by the way."

Luo Yechen seriously suspected that the primary and secondary relationship between the two had been changed by her.

Luo Yechen happened to be idle and bored, and asked, "It was noisy outside just now, what happened?"

"Beauty Zhao is injured." Xiao Xixi threw the peeled chestnut meat into her mouth.

Luo Yechen was quite curious: "How did you get hurt?"

"Scalded by boiling water."

Luo Yechen was speechless: "Can't you explain the matter from the beginning to the end in one breath? Why do you have to ask me a question before you say it?"

Xiao Xixi: "Because I'm lazy."

Luo Yechen was very angry at her unreasonable and strong appearance.

"How did the prince fall in love with you as a woman?"

Xiao Xixi thought for a while before seriously saying, "Probably because I'm salty."
