“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
Suddenly, Xingyu’s painful or joyful moan came from the room, followed by a frightened scream. After a while, the disheveled guard and Xingyu were escorted and taken out by Li Mama. Xingyu’s face was still flushed with affection, but her body was trembling severely as she looked at An. “Ma’am, Madam, please let me, explain ...” An squinted gloomily at her. “You are the eldest Madam’s maid, so it’s her instead of me to decide how to dispose of you. Since your parents are both long-term servants in our mansion, you’d better tell the truth.” Li Mama held Xingyu, and gave her a secret pinch, making Xingyu almost burst into tears. Xingyu was clear about An’s implication; she was threatening her with her parents! “Madam, please forgive me! I have no idea how it happened. After the eldest Madam offered incense to Buddha, she came to the guest room for a rest and asked me to bring her a cup of
“What do you want to do!?” Hardly had Su Lun returned to Su Mansion at dusk when he heard the incident in Luoyin Temple. Then he immediately went to An’s courtyard with a sullen face. No sooner had An put on a smile than she was frightened by Su Lun’s scold. Seeing this, Li Mama hurriedly led the maids out of the room, closed the door and guarded outside. Looking at Su Lun’s widened angry eyes, An was also vexed. “What do you mean, My Lord? I have no idea what I have done that would make you so angry.” Su Lun snorted coldly. “You don’t know what you have done? I am absolutely clear about Zhao’s personality after so many years. She couldn’t do that kind of things even if she was ten thousand times bolder than she is!” Hearing this, An realized that Su Lun had known about the incident in Luoyin Temple. With no evidence left behind, she couldn’t be accused of any crime. Howev
