“What did you say? My grandmother has arrived in Su Mansion?” Su Muge looked at Xinche and asked.
Xinche nodded.
“A little maid sent the message that Madam has gone over and you should go as soon as possible.”
At the thought of her emaciated grandmother, Su Muge couldn’t help but be excited.
“Well, comb my hair.”
She usually liked to wear a ponytail casually in her yard.
After dressing up, Su Muge came to the front hall. As soon as she walked outside the room, she heard some gentle sobs and Wang’s excited voice.
“Sister, Su Mansion is so gorgeous. You are such a lucky dog. Now that you are in charge of Su Mansion, you must have a say. We’ll stay with you from now on. You haven’t been able to go back and see mother all these years, so now you shall take this opportunity to show filial piety to her.”
Zhao had never expected that she could see Zhang again, so she was absorbed
Su Muge rapidly stepped forward to support Zhang who had been pushed by Wang. “Grandma, are you okay?” Zhang looked back at Su Muge apologetically. “It’s my fault. If I had known their malicious intention, I would never have let them come here.” Su Muge hinted Yueru to come and hold Zhang. “How could it have anything to do with you, grandmother? Some people are too ambitious and aggressive. How can you stop them?” “This marriage contract has been sealed in the county yamen. You can’t deny it!” While speaking, Wang folded the marriage contract and put it away. Su Lun narrowed his eyes. “Come on, bring me the thing!” Hearing the words, the guards who were guarding outside rushed in. Seeing so many people, Zhao De was scared to death. “You, what are you doing? How dare you snatch it?!” Su Lun raised the corner of his lips with a sneer and waved his hand gently.
“Do those of your Zhao family want to kill me? If His Majesty knows this matter, the consequences will be unimaginable!” Su Lun wore a fierce look. When he was about to slap on Zhao’s face again, the door was slammed open. Su Muge walked in with a sullen face. “Do you think His Majesty doesn’t know yet?” Su Lun stared at Su Muge. “What did you say?” After Su Lun sent the Zhao family away last night, Su Muge always felt upset. She asked Xinlan to send Cheng Ran a message to pay attention to the situation outside. Not long after Su Lun returned, Cheng Ran delivered the news to her. “Father, you haven’t figured it out yet. Early in the morning, they stopped Princess Linghua who was on her way to the Imperial Palace. Do you think this matter can be hidden from His Majesty?” “What did you say? They stopped Princess Linghua?!” Su Lun was shocked; he couldn’t imagine those countrymen dared to do such a thing.
“Madam, Miss, please get off.” The road to the altar was too narrow for the carriage to get through, so they had to walk to it. The onlookers were blocked on both sides of the street. Su Muge looked up from afar and could vaguely see the altar. There was a large open space below the altar. All officials and their families stood by their ranks, so the Su family could only stand in the back. “His Majesty is coming ...” Hearing a sharp voice, everyone knelt. Su Muge squatted down and looked up slightly; a bright yellow figure appeared in a distance. Xia Hourui was wearing a golden dragon crown and a dragon robe which was more complicated than usual. The imperial astronomer bowed forward. “Your Majesty, it will be the auspicious time after a quarter of an hour.” Xia Hourui nodded and turned to step on the stone steps leading to the altar. The altar was nearly thi
“Miss, it is said that the altar was already in chaos. Fortunately, we have left quickly; otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to leave at this moment.” After getting the news, Xinche was still terrified at the thought of the riotous scene. “Send my order: nobody is allowed to get out of the mansion.” “Yes.” Su Muge sat in her room and suddenly thought of Xia Houmo’s words before he left for Xiangshan Mountain. He asked her to keep alive. Had he known that this matter would happen? King Dingxi had risen in rebellion in the end. No matter what the result was, she could do nothing about it. “Mumu, will your father be in danger?” Zhao had been restless after returning to Su Mansion with Su Muge. She felt guilty for ignoring Su Lun and Old Lady Su when they left. “Mother, father and grandmother are both well protected by the guards. They’ll be fine.” “Madam, Miss, Lord Su and Old La
Su Muge put the willow leaves behind Xia Hourui and waited. Then she took out some medicine powder from her medical kit and burned it with fire. Instantly, the room was filled with a smell of burning medicine. “Rustling” In a while, there were some strange sounds in the room. Su Muge moved Xia Hourui’s body to check the willow leaves under his body. Some had already been gnawed. “This, this is ...” Finally, Su Muge could be sure that Xia Hourui was poisoned by poisonous insects. “All the poisonous insects love willow leaves. Once they smell willow leaves, they can’t help getting out. But they move so fast that ordinary people can’t catch them.” “So, what shall we do?” Su Muge frowned; it was hard to handle indeed! “Eunuch Yi, there are troops reaching the palace gate!” “What?” Eunuch Yi was scared with a pale face. “H
“Your Royal Highness, they have discovered King Dingxi. With no more than one hundred people around, King Dingxi can’t escape at all.” Donglin looked towards the mountain. Having been chasing his men for so many days, they finally had an opportunity to encircle and suppress them. Xia Houmo kept his cold expression. “Send more people. Don’t let him run away.” “Yes.” ... On the mountain, King Dingxi was pulled into the dark by a black figure. He lifted the sword in his hand. “Don’t be nervous. I’m here to help you, Your Royal Highness.” King Dingxi paused and stared at him with question and vigilance. “Who are you?” “Don’t mind who I am. You just need to know that I can help you leave the Chu.” “Conditions?” King Dingxi was not stupid and would not believe that someone would help him for no reason. “Of course, I have conditions. But
“Your Majesty, they are arriving.” Xia Hourui was waiting outside the palace gate in his carriage, and a palace people ran forward to report. Xia Hourui suffered a minor stroke. However, the treatment was relatively timely. Even if he couldn’t recover completely, his condition was much better than when he woke up. His mouth and his neck were still twisted, but he had stopped drooling after recovering his consciousness. “Hold me up.” Xia Hourui’s voice was hoarse. “Yes.” Eunuch Yi stepped forward and held Xia Hourui out of the carriage. The queue of the Emperor’s mother had already arrived outside the palace gate. The Emperor’s mother was held out of the carriage by a maid, and Xia Hourui stepped forward. “Mother, pay my respects to you.” The Emperor’s mother looked at Xia Hourui and revealed some excitement on her indifferent face. “My dear son!” The Emperor’s mother stepped forward to
As soon as Xia Houzhen and Xia Houkun sat down, many officials stepped forwards and surrounded them. Su Muge withdrew her eyes and continued eating and drinking on her chair. Soon, all the pastries on Su Muge’s table were finished. After drinking plenty of tea, she was very full. “Mother, I’m going to the toilet.” She whispered to Zhao. Since there were too many people in the palace, except for some high-rank officials who could bring their attendants, other attendants had to wait in the outer hall. “The road is slippery in snowy days. Be careful.” “Okay.” As soon as Su Muge walked out of the hall, she felt a cold wind. A little maid came up to show her the way. The toilet was in the courtyard behind the main hall. “Miss Su, this way please. I’ll prepare a warm handkerchief for you.” The warm handkerchief was used to wipe hands afterwards. “Thank you.”
