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
When Xia Houmo and Su Muge just arrived at the cave’s entrance, Zuoqiu and Zuowei came.“Lord, are you all right?”Both Zuoqiu and Zuowei were injured. Fortunately, their wounds were not deep, which would not cause much harm.“How about those people?” Xia Houmo asked.Zuoqiu frowned. “During the battle, those men in black seemed to get some messages. They left one after another without finishing the battle. We two tried to catch them up but were led to a maze, and we have just escaped.”“Take a group of people to explore where the cave leads.”Zuowei looked at the cave behind Xia Houmo and Su Muge doubtfully. Was there anything else in the cave?“Yes.”Zuowei sent out a signal, and the secret guards who ambushed in Dawang village would arrive soon.Xia Houmo looked at the sky and saw the dark clouds hanging low, which meant a rainstorm was coming.“Lord S
Su Lun looked at Su Muge, who showed him a gesture to keep silent.“Who is it?” Su Muge lowered her voice and asked.“Lord Su, it’s me,” answered Granny Fang.“Granny Fang, what’s wrong?”“Well, Lord, you didn’t have breakfast and I was afraid that you might be hungry, so I brought some food.”“No thanks, Granny. I ate some solid food outside. I am not hungry at this moment. You can go back to work.”“Ok, then I will go back first. If you are hungry, please let me know.”“Fine.”The sound of Granny Fang’s footsteps drifted away.Su Muge went back to her chair to sit down, looking at Su Lun, whose face was full of questioning.“Father, believe it or not, at this point, we should think about how to solve the following matters.”Of course, Su Lun knew what’s more important, and Su Muge was right on one thing.If she hadn’t pretended
“What’s going on here?” A clear and light voice came from behind. As soon as Su Muge turned around, she saw Xia Houkun in a dark blue robe patterned with auspicious clouds standing outside the door. At the sight of Xia Houkun, the chief soldier walked over quickly, greeting, “Second Prince.”Xia Houkun glanced at the patients on the ground and then at Su Muge, with a flicker of doubts deep in his eyes. “What’s wrong?” Xia Houkun asked. The chief soldier secretly gave a glare at Su Muge and answered, “Second Prince, these people are infected with the plague. I was to take them away, but Lord Su hindered us. I wonder what his purpose is!”Xia Houkun had been informed in the morning of a group of people here who were infected with the same disease. None of the imperial doctors he brought here could tell the cause after diagnosis. However, due to the large number of people infected at the sam
“Your Royal Highness, this is Su ... the eldest Miss Su’s medical kit given to you last night.” With the golden sunlight breaking through the clouds and illuminating the world, Xia Houmo returned to the county yamen after dawn. He opened the medical kit, in which several medicine bottles were orderly placed on a prescription. Xia Houmo’s eyes became dim. “What’s the matter?” Donglin recalled, “Miss Su hurriedly pushed the medical kit to me and left; at that time, my men seemed to have vaguely seen Second Prince’s followers.” Xia Houmo was suddenly struck by the words that his eyes darkened, exuding a cold and gloomy air. After closing the medical kit, Xia Houmo strode towards the door. Coincidently, Xia Houkun just arrived at his door. Xia Houkun stopped Xia Houmo. “Where are you going, ninth brother?” Xia Houmo gave him a cold glance and directly walked past
“Boohoo ...” The sound of a baby’s cry came into the room, gradually waking up Su Muge. Opening her eyes, she saw the half new blue bed-curtain and raised a slight smile. Inexplicably, this small courtyard made her feel a sense of belonging. She turned over and got up. On hearing the sound, Yueru pushed in with the washing basins. “Miss, you finally wake up. I thought you were going to sleep until noon.” Su Muge squinted at her. “Naughty girl, you have learned to make fun of me.” Su Muge sat in front of her dressing mirror. Looking at the striking birthmark on her eyes, she smiled with self-mockery. Having been in disguise for so long, she felt a little strange to suddenly see her own face. Having seen Su Muge staring at the mirror absent-mindedly, Yueru thought she was concerned about the birthmark on her face. “Miss, how about putting some of
