Life spared by a half inch.

Chen Rui has already lost her calm seeing the blood-stained hand of Li Xue. Though she wasn't able to see the cut on her neck yet, the stink of the blood reaching her nostrils was enough to flare her temper up at the situation. When she planned to bring Li Xue here, she never thought that something like this could also happen under her nose. Li Xue could also get harmed with her around. 

Right when she was about to lose the whole, Li Xue reached her, almost guessing her state. "Y-Your Highness. I am fine. It's just a small cut. I am sure. I will be better once the doctor has a look at it." She said and her words were also a reminder to the lady that in front of people she couldn't let go of her composure that's suited to her title.
