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
“Ah! Monster!” Xia Houyin staggered back in shock and fell on the ground. Xia Houxi was also shocked to see Su Muge’s face and was unable to speak for a while. With gruesome eyes, Su Muge looked at Xia Houyin on the ground with a grim smile. “Her Royal Highness, are you satisfied with what you see?” While speaking, she walked slowly towards them. Xia Houyin was so scared that she shrank back. “You, you monster. Come on. Hurry up, catch this monster!” Upon hearing her words, the palace maids waiting outside rushed into the pavilion. They were also shocked to see Su Muge’s face, but they were not as timid as the princess and rushed towards Su Muge. Su Muge took a step back, dodged all the people coming at her, and directly went down the pavilion. “Since you have nothing serious, Her Royal Highness, please excuse me.” “You, you monster. How dare you run away?” S
“Ah! So ugly! Just as Eighth Princess says, she looks really scary!” A woman with a round face in a peach-pink silk dress screamed in horror. “Was it she who deliberately drowned you in water in Shunyang prefecture? What a vicious woman!” A woman in blue also put on a scared look. “Don’t say that about my eldest sister. She was just joking with me.” “How could anyone joke about life?!” Before Su Muge could swallow down the snack, she had been surrounded by a swarm of chattering young women. No doubt, they were headed by Su Jingwen, her younger sister who was hard on her. The young ladies were looking at Su Muge as if she were a beast in the zoo, making her really upset. “Don’t say that. My eldest sister has been praised by the Emperor for her medical skills...” Su Jingwen’s said so for no reason, making the noble ladies even angrier. It was known to all that the Emperor’s
Su Muge stopped to take the pulse of Ninth Princess. Although her pulse was still weak, at least her heartbeat recovered! Su Muge exhaled a sigh of relief, with sweat oozing on her forehead. She raised her hand to wipe it and stood up. “Hold her up and seat her on a chair.” Ninth Princess’s revival made her maid unable to recover from the shock. It wasn’t until Su Muge turned around to leave that the maid stepped forward in a daze and helped Nine Princesses sit on the chair. Ninth Princess opened her eyes with a pale face and weak breath. She looked at everything in front of her, blank-minded. She covered her chest with her hands, knowing that she must have had a heart attack; otherwise, her heart wouldn’t be so uncomfortable now. “Here comes the medicine. Here comes the medicine for Ninth Princess.” The maid finally brought the medicine for Nin
“Who is it?!” A black figure slowly stepped out of the woods behind her. After seeing his face, Su Muge froze for a moment. “You ... Lord Xia?” Xia Houmo glanced over her from top to bottom with his dark eyes, as if he was determining whether she was injured. “You’re so lucky.” Su Muge blinked. “Ah-choo!” She rubbed her nose, feeling that the weather was really getting cold. After half a quarter, Su Muge and Xia Houmo sat opposite to each other by the fire. Su Muge was still wet with water dripping down her body; the wind in the forest was so cold that she shivered. Xia Houmo watched her frosty lips with his dark eyes lowered. He stood up, walked to her and pulled her up. “What, what are you doing?!” Su Muge staggered. She looked down and found that his long and slender fingers were undressing her! “You,
The study room quieted down instantly; Xia Hourui narrowed his eyes, with a little bit of frustration shown on his face. “I heard that Su Lun’s daughter saved Xi’er on the barge?” The fire on the barge and the assassination of noble ladies and masters were widely implicated. So Xia Hourui must have been informed in detail. “I’ve heard that.” “After a few days’ stay in Shunyang prefecture, have you got some clues?” Xia Hourui’s question seemed normal but they actually implied his doubt about Su Muge’s medical skills. Xia Houmo slightly turned his black eyes, knowing that no matter what he answered, he would put Su Muge into a certain situation. “She’s smart.” Hearing this answer, Xia Hourui smiled and stopped asking. “I’m tired, you may retreat.” “Excuse me.” After Xia Houmo left, Eunuch Yi came in with tea. Xia Hourui took a sip of
“Madam ...” The Mama waiting beside called in a low voice. Mrs. Lin waved at her with a cold smile, meaning that she didn’t have to worry. “He didn’t care his own reputation. Why should I care?” And then she turned to Su Muge. “Miss Su, in fact, I asked you to come here not to treat me, but the General.” Su Muge stayed calm without showing even a hint of surprise, which made Mrs. Lin think more highly of her. “What’s the matter with General?” “A shameful disease.” The old Mama stepped forward and helped Mrs. Lin stand up. “Miss Su, please come with me.” Su Muge asked no more, carried her medical kit and followed Mrs. Lin out of the yard. General Valgime Mansion was very large, but the internal building structure was very simple. As a result, the mansion appeared to be a little empty. After a quarter’s walk, they stopped in front of a remote courtyard. “Madam,
The carriage passed through a lively district and stopped at Luoyin Temple on Tongluo Street, northwest of the capital. “Miss, here we are.” Su Muge quickly got off the carriage and walked into the temple. The Luoyin Temple on the outskirts of the city was not large, but was frequently visited. Every first and fifteenth day in a lunar month, many people would come to offer incense. As soon as Su Muge walked in, she was overwhelmed with a heavy smell of burning incense. It was the fifteenth day today, so there were many pilgrims in the temple. Su Muge went into the temple hall and looked around, but she could not find a single trace of Zhao inside. Seeing a six or seven-year-old monk cleaning the temple hall, Su Muge stepped forward. “Excuse me, master, I wonder if the madam of Su Mansion is here.” She asked. Visitors to the temple were all registered. “Amitab
