C460 County magistrate xiao na (1/2)
”Eldest Miss, Eldest Miss!”
”Eldest Miss, what's wrong?”
On the other side, Qing Dai also rushed over to Lian Ruyue's side and kneeled beside her with Leng Mei, crying as she called out to her.
”Yue Er, what happened to you?” Even Yan Qing ran down from the platform. ”Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician …” As soon as the imperial physician squatted down beside Liang Runan, he was immediately pulled by Lian Yan Qing to Lian Ru Yue's side. ”Quickly let my daughter see, why did she suddenly faint?”
”Father, my eyes can no longer see.” On the other side, Liang Runan screamed out in fear.
In the end, the imperial physician had no choice but to have his servants set up a tent at the edge of the field, where he arranged Lian Rue and Liang Runan to be inside to treat the two of them at the same time.
The temporary tent was too small, and the rest of the people were waiting outside anxiously. The emperor had sent Feng Degui over to inquire about the situation.
Inside the tent, Lian Lianyue lay beside Liang Runan. When Liang Runan lowered his hand, the imperial physician discovered that there was a cut on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, just a few inches away from her eyeball.
”Imperial Physician, there's poison on my face, so my face will rot. Y-you, quickly help me wash it off.” Liang Runan was scared out of his wits.
”Poisonous?” The imperial physician gave a start. ”What poison?”
”I, I don't know what poison it is either.” Liang Runan's heart thumped in his chest, feeling extremely regretful.
Lian Ruyue watched from the side, cold and detached. When the imperial physician ordered the servants to bring warm water over, she looked at Liang Runan and said:
When I first picked up the ball, I had already wiped off the powder and even grinded it a few times on the ground. So, your face was only scratched by a sharp weapon and won't rot.
”…” Liang Runan suddenly turned his head and looked at Lian Ruyue like he was looking at a ghost. He only saw that at this moment, she did not have the slightest bit of weakness and paleness from before. She was currently looking at him indifferently. Was it an act?
From the beginning to the end?
She felt as if someone had stabbed her in the heart. ”You, you know all about it?”
”Heh …” Lian Ruonan laughed coldly, ”How could I not see through Xiao Rou's little scheme? I just didn't expect that the great eldest miss of the Liang Prefecture, the one who was praised by both the emperor and his imperial concubines, would be led away by such an ill-intentioned girl.”
When Liang Rushan heard this, his face immediately flushed red and he bit his lower lip.
”She must have told you that I was the one who broke her leg, right? She must also have said that Aunt Xiao and Third Sister were chased away by me.” Lian Ruyue glanced outside the tent. The imperial physician was still instructing the servants to prepare warm water, handkerchief, and other things before continuing.
Liang Runan's heart quivered slightly. Lian Ruyue's words had hit the mark.
”Then did she say that when she colluded with Consort Xuan to harm me? In order to protect myself and counterattack, Concubine Xuan turned around and kicked her off her horse, causing her to be bitten by a tiger? And the aunt in our house was abandoned by our father because her son was harmed? ”Although I am a direct descendant, as for the matters of concubine and concubine sister, naturally only grandmother and father can decide them. Our Lian family has its own rules, how can I be reckless?” Lian Ru Yue secretly observed Liang Runan's expression and said, ”I don't know how many people Xiao Rou has spoken to. I didn't expect that Miss Liang's words would have such an effect. It really surprised me when I heard your name.”
Liang Runan bit his lower lip, his hand gripping the hem of his skirt as he remained silent. She absolutely did not expect that even Xiyue would be able to see through each and every one of her actions.
At this moment, the imperial physician opened the tent flap and entered with a maidservant carrying hot water.
Lian Ru Yue stopped talking and slightly closed her eyes. The maid wiped her hands and face, and the imperial physician gave her a pulse. She didn't notice anything strange, so she finally said —
”The county magistrate was probably frightened by that ball, and is fine. Rest for a while and drink the soul calming medicine.”
”Thank you, Imperial Physician.” Lian Lu Yue politely nodded.
On Liang Runan's side, she had already quieted down and no longer cried out. She let the imperial physician wipe away the bloodstains on her face, anoint it with ointment, and then use a white cloth to bandage it.
