In a room with dim light, two figures were sitting opposite each other.
Guima looked at Xia Houmo with coziness, playing with a tea cup in his hand.
On the other side, the face of Xia Houmo was cold as ice, with the chill around him preventing any stranger from coming nearby.
“Achoo!” Guima rubbed his nose with his hand. He had used too much scented soap and the smell was a bit aggressive.
“So Lord, what do you want me here for?”
“I was poisoned.”
“What?” Guima jumped up to his feet, with his laziness look disappeared within one second, he walked behind Xia Houmo and felt his pulse.
His face was now in seriousness.
“You were poisoned by the Red Blaze!”
Without many expressions on his face, Xia Houmo took his hand back.
“Yes.”
“When was that?”
“About half a month ago.”
After he heard about the answer, Guima frowned an
After a moment of pause, Su Muge turned her head and looked at Meng Xiuwen.“Eldest Mast Meng, what else?”A few days ago, the Meng family had sent someone to tell her that she didn’t need to go to the Meng mansion anymore for treating Old Lady Meng. On that day, Su Muge had given the person a note to take back. And then here was the meeting between her and Meng Xiuwen.“My grandma...” Meng Xiuwen wanted to explain to her why they had stopped her treatment for Old Lady. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that there was no need for it, since in either way, she would take it as an excuse of them wanting to get rid of the Su family.“Eldest Master Meng, there’s no need to talk about it. The Meng family has already done me a great favor.” Su Muge raised the little box in her hand and explained. She treated Old Lady Meng, and the Meng family helped her find the things she needed. Now, they owed each other nothing.“G
The rain fell on the muddy ground, with the air moist and smelly all around.Following the driver’s direction, Su Muge saw a white swollen body lying under the wheel of their carriage!Su Muge put on her straw rain cape and jumped out of the carriage. “Make the carriage go backwards a bit.” The driver’s hands were shaking, he pulled the reins, and made the carriage go backwards with difficulty.When the carriage moved away, a corpse was exposed on the road.Su Muge took out the sheepskin gloves when she used for making her medicine and put them on, turning the front of the body over.From the body’s livor merits and the extent of the swelling, it could be implied that the body had been dead for at least five days.“It’s, it’s, Hu, Old Man Hu, it’s Old Man Hu!” The driver was huddled in his seat. In such a situation, he would not even bother to think about why a young miss could remain so calm
Su Muge glanced over her shoulder now and then when she was driving the carriage.She had already noticed it from last night that the person hiding in the woods had been keeping an eye on their movements, so she had hardly slept.The one in the woods didn’t show up until the old woman and her grandson appeared, which meant that his target was those two.The old woman and her grandson looked as if they were just ordinary people. There was no doubt that she had to pay more attention to the suspicious person who appeared in Zhou county at this time.If she had not taken the two with her, they could have been killed by the man last night.The three of them finally arrived at Zhou county before it was dark.Just as the old lady said, the shops were closed and there were few people in the street.And those who were in the street were carrying their luggage with a hurry to leave Zhou county.
“Ok, you go to settle them down first,” Su Muge said, turned around and went back to the temporary ward.Adviser Li was entirely struck dumb. “Lord Su…”“Bang!”The door was shut. Adviser Li got snubbed. He was so anxious that he could cry.It was said that Lord Xia held the third-ranking or even higher position in the imperial court, and the imposing manner he carried was something to be held. Adviser Li had never seen anyone like him in his life. Now that such a high-ranking lord had arrived, Lord Su didn’t work on trying to please him, nor did he even go to receive him immediately. Wasn’t he just trying to throw his title away!Adviser Li could do nothing but went back to the county yamen alone.Su Muge went to see the boy. During the preliminary check, it seemed that he was having a fever, but after taking his pulse carefully, she realized that there was something wrong with his lungs.
It was already noon?!The sky was overcast with no sign of time. Su Muge had no idea that she would wake up at midday, and the only thing she could remember was that she did not sleep well last night.“So, what kind of plan do you have against the flood, Lord Su?”Xia Houmo changed the topic of their conversation, and Su Muge was clever enough to contend with him. She said, “Lord Xia, please follow me to the study, and we’ll talk about the details there.”“Sure.”The two of them stepped in, and Granny Fang left after she served the tea.A detailed topographic map of Zhou county was opened in front of them by Su Muge, and her hand pointing at the river that went through the whole county.“In my opinion, it’s crucial to build a dam now, and to raise the river bank with sands and stones...”At first, Xia Houmo only listened with a devil-may-care attitude. But then his face became mor
Su Muge took one step back. “I have to visit the other patients again, please wait here, Lord Xia.” “You couldn’t help anyway!” thought she.Xia Houmo didn’t refuse this time. “Fine.”After getting rid of this troublesome “tail”, Su Muge let out her breath in a long exhalation and went to another ward with her medical kit.Gazing at her receding figure, there was a slight coldness in Xia Houmo’s eyes. “Zuowei.”Zuowei came in from the outside upon his master’s call.“My Lord.”“Where has Guima gone?”“Doctor Gui has left Yanxia pass, and should be on his way to the land of southern barbarians.”Xia Houmo lifted his dark eyes a little. “He went to the land of southern barbarians?”“Yes.”“Fine, let him go.”“Lord, are you looking for Doctor Gui because you’re not feeling well? How about passing the message and ask people to bring
There was a moment when Su Muge wanted to cry. Why was she so unlucky? She dared not to think if her identity was unveiled, what would happen to her. Would this royal highness, the King of Jin, get angry with her and directly put her to justice?!Indeed, one could never win a game played with God!Xia Houmo kept his promise and had her scalpel made before dark according to her previous drawings. After knowing his identity, she was no longer surprised at his high efficiency.It would only be a joke if a person who was among the highest rank of people in the country like him had no ability superior to a normal village man.Su Muge took a scalpel and checked it carefully. It’s rougher than a modern scalpel, but she believed that if he had been given two more days, he could have made the scalpel even better than the modern one.Just as she was about to cut her fingertip with the edge of the scalpel as a trial, her waist wa
“What happened?” Su Muge asked in a low voice, which was particularly abrupt in a strange and silent street.She frowned and quickly pulled out the dagger on her leg in a state of full alert.Opening the carriage curtain carefully, she clearly saw her driver lying on the ground with a light moonlight.Suddenly, there was a violent gust of wind which startled her. She quickly pulled the curtain aside and jumped off the carriage. After several rolls on the ground, she finally found her balance.A dark figure went in front of her, and there was blood dripping from the sharp sword in his hand.“What do you want!”“Hand it over, or you’ll die!”Su Muge frowned, obviously confused by those words. Hand it over? What does this man mean?The man in black took her silence as a rejection and was irritated. He raised his sword with a snort and was ready to fight.Su Muge had only
The abbot just came back to his senses and stepped forward with a frown. Before Jiang Yingxue came in, he checked the princess's pulse. At that time, the princess's pulse had been blocked and the situation was very dangerous. At this time, he had to quickly use a needle to clear the princess's heart pulse. , but even in this case, the princess's situation will be very dangerous.But now that Jiang Yingxue has applied pressure on the princess, the blocked heart veins have been slightly unblocked. If nothing else, at least as Jiang Yingxue said, the princess is no longer in danger of her life.Jiang Yingxue stood aside and quickly glanced at King Jinling. He was wearing a very simple dark-colored robe, with a mutton-fat jade belt tied around his waist, which made him taller and taller.He had a pair of majestic sword-shaped eyebrows. Originally, there should be a pair of deep and sharp eyes under such eyebrows, but the look he cast on the princess was particularly ge
Jiang Yingxue almost lost her voice and asked, "Didn't you install a pinhole camera on me?""Your Majesty is really clever."Su Yuchen held the reins and slowed down the horse."My lord, why did you break off the engagement in the first place?""What did you say?" Jiang Yingxue's words were not loud, but Su Yuchen heard them, but he still asked.Jiang Yingxue shook her head suddenly. She was really crazy. She asked what she was doing for no reason!"Nothing, I, I want to find Mr. Han. I have something to ask him.""You have a lot to ask him."Jiang Yingxue had something on her mind and didn't notice anything wrong with the tone of his words.Su Yuchen took Jiang Yingxue to the door of the palace."Your Majesty.""This king has something else to do, you can go find it yourself.""Thank you, Your Majesty."When Jiang Yingxue walked into Mr. Han's yard, she always felt that something was wrong, as if there we
When Jiang Yingxue woke up early the next morning, her heart sank when she looked at the red line that had extended to the base of her palm.This grows too fast! With the speed at which the red thread was growing, she was afraid that if she didn't get the artifact, she would go see King Yama first!I wonder if Mr. Han has any way to slow down the growth of red lines.With something on her mind, Jiang Yingxue couldn't sit still. After breakfast, she was ready to go to Prince Zhan's Mansion to find Mr. Han.Because she was in a hurry, Jiang Yingxue asked Chu Yi to drive the car faster. When she reached a street and was about to turn, someone suddenly rushed out on horseback.Chu Yi was shocked and quickly tightened the reins in her hands, but the opponent's speed was too fast. Even though she pulled the reins immediately, the opponent's horse still hit her."ah!"Jiang Yingxue only felt a violent tremor outside the car, and she was almost knoc
"Your Majesty, those are not sesame seeds, they are the particles that originally grow on the red fruit. They are edible."Bai Linghan felt that his face had been lost due to this red fruit!"Get out!"Jiang Yingxue rolled her eyes inwardly, she was such a bad tempered person."Yes, slave, please leave."After Jiang Yingxue left the house, she went directly to the small kitchen behind the palace. Just kidding, how could she leave without getting the Phoenix Pendants!The people from Nayu Kingdom have just arrived, so no one will use the small kitchen."The emperor has gone to bed. You all go outside and keep watch. The emperor likes peace and quiet, especially at night. There shouldn't be any noise.""yes."Jiang Yingxue lay beside the door, listening to the noise outside, and climbed out of the window.She climbed to the eaves neatly, and carefully came to the roof where Bai Linghan was. She removed the tiles on the roof,
In the imperial palace, in the royal study."Your Majesty, the Great Xia Great War will be held in less than half a month. Now the honor guards from various countries have entered the borders of Daxia and will reach Bianjing City in less than ten days."Emperor Shang Zong pondered the lock on his hand and raised his head after hearing this."Just follow the management arrangements from previous years."Wen Dahai glanced at Emperor Shang Zong who was looking at him intently and felt helpless. "Your Majesty, the honor guards from various countries have arrived. Who does Your Majesty think would be more appropriate to receive them?"Emperor Shang Zong put down the lock in his hand and walked around the study twice with his hands behind his back."What do you think, boss?""The eldest prince is prudent in his work, so he can naturally take on big responsibilities." Wen Dahai said hurriedly."It's stable, but it's too boring. Why don't we l
Jiang Yingxue hid in the firewood shed in the backyard of Huawang Mansion, looking at the blood gradually drying on her palms, her heart was filled with despair!True dragon blood, not the emperor, nor the prince who might become the emperor in Bianjing! Who else could it be? Could it be that they are those young princes who are not taken seriously by the emperor at all, who have no support from their mother's family, who have absolutely no sparkle in them?or it could be...King of Jinling?When warriors from all over the world went to Daxia to hold a battle, King Jinling would also come back. It happened that she also wanted to confirm whether Su Muge was with King Jinling.Jiang Yingxue walked out of the woodshed, opened the door to the backyard of the palace smoothly and walked out.It was true that Baili Xun had people blockade the palace, but the speed of those people could not compare with Jiang Yingxue. By the time the guards came, Jiang Y
Are you afraid of him?Facing such a powerful man with great kung fu, she was afraid of confronting him. However, no matter what Su Yuchen's mentality was after getting along with him during this period of time, Jiang Yingxue felt that he would not kill her. life, so she couldn't say she was afraid of him."Your Majesty, do you want me to be afraid of you?"Su Yuchen looked at her and didn't answer.Jiang Yingxue smiled. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me today." As she said that, she felt blessed and followed Wen Dahai.It wasn't until Jiang Yingxue's back disappeared from sight that Su Yuchen turned around and left the palace.It was already the second watch. After surviving the sleepiest time, Jiang Yingxue was no longer so sleepy.She lay on the bed and looked at the green tent in confusion. After today's banquet, the emperor should grant marriages to his sons soon. Judging from the emperor's attitude today, he also planned to settl
Jiang Yingxue looked around, but there was no one there."Strange, where have people gone?""Little eunuch? Little eunuch?" She stood outside the rockery and waited for a while, then frowned after making sure there was no one inside.It was unlikely that the little eunuch got lost in the rockery, and it was also unlikely that he would just leave without confirming whether she had followed him out. Where did that person go?While Jiang Yingxue was confused, there was a sound of footsteps behind her. Jiang Yingxue turned around and looked at the visitor alertly. It was a palace maid wearing a peach-colored palace dress.Jiang Yingxue looked at her and felt that this person looked familiar."Greetings to Miss Jiang, this slave is Wanlian who is serving Concubine Hao. Just now, Xiao Dunzi suddenly felt sick in his stomach and ran to the latrine. When he saw the slave, he asked the slave to come and send Miss Jiang to the guest hall."It turned o
Everyone focused their attention on the lock in the hand of Jiang Yingxue."This lock is made with great care by me. You can't possibly..."There was a "click", and the emperor's unfinished words were stuck in his throat.The lock is open!The emperor's eyes were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets!Everyone held their breath and their hearts were raised. Jiang Yingxue opened the lock made by the emperor. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face! ?Everyone was waiting to see how angry the emperor would be and how he would punish Jiang Yingxue. But who knew that after the initial shock, the emperor ran to Jiang Yingxue with an earnest look on his face."You little girl, I thought you were interesting before. Tell me, how did you open this lock?""The emperor's locks are very exquisite, and I just tried my luck to open them." Just kidding, Jiang Yingxue has been a professional locksmith for more than ten years, and even
