Chapter 383 Determining Responsibilities

Others didn't know Li Xuan, but Concubine Xian knew him.

There were many gatherings of royal relatives, and Concubine Xian saw this child often. It was because the child had a good-looking appearance that people could hardly forget him.

"How could he fall like this? Quick, send him to the nearest palace first and then ask an imperial physician to come." After Concubine Xian stepped forward to take charge, the chaos on the scene was stopped.

The young palace maid who served Concubine Xian wanted to help Li Xuan up.

Niuniu said hurriedly, "He wouldn't let the maid hold him."

The virtuous concubine immediately signaled to the eunuch beside her.

In the end, the injured Li Xuan was carried to the nearest palace by the eunuch beside Concubine Xian.

"I hit him, and I am sorry for him." Niu Niu said proactively.

Li Xuan did not mean to blame Niuniu, and said: "It was just what I was thinking about. I didn't look carefully when I walked. It's not your fault."

Niuniu still insisted, "But you are the one who got hurt. I am fine. You must blame me."

Li Xuan defended himself, "It's not based on who got hurt that we determine who is the victim. This has nothing to do with you. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. It was because I was not careful enough."

Niuniu tilted her head and said, "You are such a weird person. Why do you always take the responsibility on yourself?"

Li Xuan said in a matter-of-fact tone: "This is the fact, I am not biased at all."

Niuniu shook her head: "We didn't see each other, and we didn't pay attention to the people who might suddenly jump out at the intersection, so no matter how you calculate it, the responsibility should be 50-50 between the two of us."

Li Xuan added: "You are a woman, and I am a man, so I should be courteous to you. So it is not wrong for you to take all the responsibilities on me."

When Concubine Xian and Qin Jingshu heard this, they couldn't help but feel a liking for Li Xuan. Concubine Xian even praised him, "You are a child who has the demeanor of a gentleman at such a young age."

Only Niuniu said, "So what if she's a woman? Why can't a woman take responsibility?"

Li Xuan told Niuniu based on his long-standing knowledge: "Women are weak, and we men should always give in to them more."

Niuniu actually still hasn't realized where she is weak, and said: "But I don't think I'm weaker than you. When we collided, you were the one who got hurt. No matter how you look at it, you should be the weaker one."

Li Xuan: …

Although Li Xuan has all kinds of strange problems, his debating ability has always been good. He just thinks that he may be born unable to defeat the Gu family in an argument, which is why he is always left speechless by the Gu family.

Qin Jingshu is Niuniu's friend and has always been unconditionally supporting Niuniu. At this moment, she also nodded vigorously: "Niuniu is the best!"

When Niuniu heard this, she puffed up her belly with a hint of pride and said, "I think I'm awesome too."

Only the Concubine Xian felt that the current situation was a little strange. Instead of discussing who was the victim and who was the perpetrator, how did it suddenly become a comparison of who was more powerful?
Li Xuan took a deep breath and said, "The comparison between men and women is not a comparison between you and me, but a comparison between all men and women. I admit that I may be hurt because I am not as good as you, but this is definitely not the case for others."

But Niuniu said, "But I'm younger than you. If you can't even beat me, how can you prove that other men can beat other women?"

Li Xuan: …

"Besides, you said that other people must not be like this. Have you ever compared them? If you haven't made a comparison, does that prove that you are lying?" Niu Niu asked.

Li Xuan pursed his lips tightly, his expression changing constantly. He felt as if a year or two had passed. As if he had finally figured it out, he barely managed to stand up and bowed to Niuniu. "I am narrow-minded, I'm grateful for your advice," Li Xuan said.

Niuniu opened her big innocent eyes and said, "I thought you would refute me by saying that men are out in the open now, while women can only stay in the inner house."

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Some women stay in the inner house, while others go out. Living in the inner house is not necessarily worse than going out."

When Concubine Xian heard this, she looked up to Li Xuan. Although he was very young, and on the surface he looked like a conservative little gentleman, but inwardly he was an open-minded person.

Niuniu said: "It is my responsibility that you were injured. I will help take care of you recently."

Li Xuan looked at the little kid in front of him who was not even as tall as himself and said, "How can you help take care of me?"

"What do you need?" Niu Niu asked.

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I can take care of myself. Even if there is something wrong, there are eunuchs in the palace."

Niuniu sighed and said, "It seems that I really can't help you with anything."

Li Xuan added: "You don't have to keep thinking about how to help me. I don't blame you."

Niu Niu was not comforted by such a simple thing. The little girl held her chin with both hands, frowned and thought carefully about how she could help.

Not long after, the imperial physician arrived late with a medicine box.

Li Xuan did not suffer any bone injuries, but only had a few broken skin and bruises. The reason for the bleeding was because he fell to the ground, not because of a collision.

After the imperial physician treated his wounds, he prescribed a few more medicines and left.

"Empress Xianfei, I have to attend horse riding and archery lessons in the morning. Please send someone to escort me there." Li Xuan said.

When Concubine Xian heard that he was still going to class, she was immediately surprised and said, "You are injured so badly, I will send someone to ask for leave from the master for you."

Li Xuan was unwilling to fall behind in his studies.

Niuniu said, "If you are not feeling well but insist on going to the horseback archery class, and if you accidentally fall off the horse, won't the injury be more serious? By then, you will miss more lessons."

After hearing this, Li Xuan stopped worrying about attending class.

Concubine Xian asked a young palace maid to ask for leave for Li Xuan, and asked her eunuch to send Li Xuan back to the prince's residence.

"I will send someone else to take care of him. Don't think too much about it. It's more important to go to class." Concubine Xian personally sent the two little girls out of Baisun Courtyard.

After so much trouble, it was already past the class time. Gu Mingda was so worried when he saw the two empty seats. When he saw people finally coming and heard the palace maid quickly explain the whole story, Gu Mingda forced himself to wait until the get out of class was over before he carefully checked to see if Niu Niu was injured.

"I'm glad you're not hurt. Daddy was really worried that you might have gotten bumped or bruised." Gu Mingda said softly.

Niuniu said: "Neither of us looked at the road, but Brother Li Xuan was seriously injured. I still feel very sorry."

The guilty expression on the little girl's face made Gu Mingda, her father, feel extremely distressed.

"If you are really worried about him, you can send him more food suitable for his recovery." Gu Mingda comforted.
