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
Meng Xiuwen had been waiting for a reply from Su Muge in Meng Mansion for nearly ten days, but failed. The batch of medicines had been sent to Zhou County a few days ago, and Second Prince had particularly written a letter to his father to express his gratitude. He couldn’t understand why Su Muge had offered such a good idea to Meng Mansion instead of offering it to Su Mansion. So he sent her a banknote worthy of 500 Liang, claiming to express his sincere gratitude, but his actual purpose was to test her motivation. However, like a stone thrown into the sea, he received no reply at all. He couldn’t help doubting his suspicious mind; maybe Su Muge actually did this out of kindness. Su Muge would never tell Meng Xiuwen that her purpose was in fact to earn money! Without money, she could do nothing. Therefore, she must find a way to earn some. She knew that An would never app
Unwilling as she was, Su Muge decided to attend the welcome dinner for the sake of Zhao. However, Zhao was unwilling to attend. Su Muge knew that Zhao was afraid that An and Su Lun would be angry. After all, Su Lun had told her that her appearance would make him lose face in front of the public due to her inferior status. Su Muge asked Hongmei and others to retreat and sat down with Zhao. “Mother, are you going to hide forever?” Zhao didn’t dare to look at Su Muge; actually, she knew exactly what Su Muge wanted to say. Su Wenmo would grow up one day, so she couldn’t hide the real identity of his mother from others forever. But… As Su Lun said, her status was so inferior that it would only make others laugh at her two children. Su Muge knew exactly what she was thinking. But she didn’t intend to allow her to shrink back. One must learn to become stronger. “Mot
Su Muge frowned while covering her sore nose, in fear of becoming flat-nosed. “You…” Rubbing the tip of her nose, Su Muge looked up. Having seen the man in front of her, she subconsciously took several steps back! “Xia ... Lord Xia!” She was too unlucky. How could she bump into Xia Houmo here? ! Xia Houmo was wearing a dark red checkered robe with narrowed-sleeves; his waist was tightened by a black jade belt. Even though Su Muge had met him many times before, she still felt uneasy every time she encountered him. The man’s aura was too powerful, always giving her an invisible sense of oppression. Xia Houmo looked down and caught sight of her big panic eyes. With the moonlight shining lightly on her little faces, her eyes looked extraordinarily clear and bright. But the dangling black hair had obscured much of her glory. “How do you know me?” Su
“How did you cure the plague?” Su Lun fixed his sharp eyes on Su Muge’s face as if to say, if you dared to lie, I would expose your lie immediately! Su Muge didn’t expect that Su Lun would ask her to come over and explain this. She indifferently blew the tea in the cup and said smilingly, “Father, you may have forgotten.” “What?” Su Lun frowned. “I have died once.” Having heard this, Su Lun suddenly changed his countenance. “Don’t think you can fool me like this! I never believe in ghosts and gods!” “Father, you have not experienced death. How can you be so sure that there are no ghosts or gods?” Looking at Su Muge’s face in the candlelight, Su Lun found that, reflected by her pale complexion, the dark red birthmark on the corner of her eye became much scarier. Even though he had never been attentive to his truth-born daughter, he could also kno
