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
“Lord, the man has confessed.”Xia Houmo was reading through the map, and he paused.“He confessed?”“Yes.”In fact, Donglin was also a little suspicious. After all, last night, the man was tortured almost to death and he said nothing. The man was stubborn and reluctant so that Donglin thought it would take him another two or three days before he would tell them anything. But now, he had confessed, not even managed to hold on to the next morning.Gently stroking his jade thumb ring, Xia Houmo asked in a low voice, “What did he say?”“He said it was on that Eldest Miss Su.”Xia Houmo lifted his dark eyes. “On Su Muge?”“Yes. He said he had hidden it on a boy, but when he went to the boy later, it was gone. The eldest Miss was with him all this time, so he said the eldest Miss must have taken it.”Donglin glanced at Xia Houmo, and continued, “That child, Tong’er, was br
Su Muge caught hold of Granny Fang, who staggered.“Ganny Fang, don’t worry. Let’s make things clear first.” Su Muge walked towards the county yamen with Granny Fang in her arm.The voice of Granny Fang was a bit trembling.“It was...was at dusk, I was preparing dinner for everybody and asked Tong’er to get me some water, but he didn’t come back for a long time. I was worried and went to look for him. But I’ve searched the whole county yamen and he was nowhere to be found...” said Granny Fang, who was already crying.“Lord Su, please help us. Tong’er is the only son and heir in our family, and I can’t let anything go wrong with him...”Su Muge helped Granny Fang get in the room. “Granny Fang, don’t worry. I’ll send people to look for him now. Tell me what places Tong’er likes to go in his spare time. Is there any chance he went to play with other kids and forgot to come back?”Granny Fang kept crying and s
Donglin took out a black porcelain bottle and put it on the table. “The map on the child showed because of this potion.”After Xia Houmo agreed to give her one night, Su Muge had managed to cool herself down.Su Muge put Tong’er on the table, with his whole back exposed, she soon took out a handkerchief to cover most of his back, leaving only half a palm of it outside for observation.Xia Houmo’s eyebrows raised a bit.A pungent smell went out as soon as Su Muge opened the porcelain bottle Donglin had given her.“I need to fetch something from my room,” Su Muge said, looking at Xia Houmo.He nodded.Not until she went out of his room, did she find that her back was soaked in sweat.She swore to herself that once it was all done in Zhou county, she would definitely keep her distance from this man!Inside the room of Xia Houmo, Donglin was looking at Tong’er on the table with
“The illness has not been determined yet. You should not make any rumor about it!”The young medical assistant was terrified by Su Muge, and he nodded with obedience.“Ask Adviser Li to clean out several quiet rooms and arrange the patients according to their ages and genders.”“Yes.”Now it was certain that the general medicine would become the nutritious agent for those worms. Therefore, Su Muge hadn’t written any prescription to these people.When she came out, Xia Houmo had gone.“Adviser Li, go and find out whether there is anything in common among those people who have the disease.”Adviser Li remained speechless for a while and scratched his head in confusion while watching the figure of Su Muge leaving. “Why did Lord Xia and Lord Su say the same thing? Can there be any connection between those who got sick?”After thinking, Adviser Li sent people to investigate it immediat
“Lord Xia, what are the things in common of those people?”“Adviser Li said the sick ones are from the same village.” Su Muge frowned. “They are from the same place?”“Yes. Now the flood has receded, would you like to go and have a look, Lord Su?”Su Muge didn’t answer. The patients’ situations were still unsure, and she would be worried if she just left.“The Magistrate of Zhou county was flooded away in that village,” Xia Houmo said in a deep voice, as he noticed Su Muge’s silence.“What!” Su Muge lifted her head in shock.“Since Lord Su is unwilling to go, just stay there and cooperate with the second prince. Donglin, get the horses ready.”“Yes, my Lord.”If there was something related to the disease in the village, it wouldn’t be a waste to go.“Lord Xia, I would like to go with you.”Xia Houmo’s lips slightly raised, and he walked out
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
