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
Jinghong stepped forward with the flagon and filled the cup for Su Muge, but she didn’t sit down. “My Lord, would you like to hear me sing or watch me dance?” Su Muge reached out and grabbed her wrist, forcing her to sit down beside her. “Ah!” “My Lord, what are you doing!?” Jinghong was stronger than Su Muge had expected, but she didn’t get rid of Su Muge’s hand after all. “My Lord, I’m just an entertainer!” Letting out a chuckle, Su Muge held Jinghong’s waist from behind, buried her face in Jinghong’s neck and took a deep sniff. Su Muge felt Jinghong’s body stiffened. Before Jinghong could break away, Su Muge let go of her. Jinghong glared at Su Muge with fiery red eyes and turned around to open the door, intending to leave. Su Muge made no moves. She poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip. The wine wasn’t strong but tasted a little swe
In the Blossoms Tower, Xia Houkun looked at Jinghong with a smile and drank up the wine in the glass. Jinghong watched Xia Houkun with her mind perturbed, wondering why she could consecutively encounter two of the most distinguished guests tonight. “What funny things did the King of Jin tell you just now?” “How could His Royal Highness tell me anything funny? He just made me sing songs.” Xia Houkun was not upset; instead, he enjoyed the dishes with chopsticks. “The man with the King of Jin in the room was quite unfamiliar.” “Yes, I’ve also met him for the first time.” Xia Houkun asked some more obscure questions but could get no useful information from Jinghong, so he let her retreat. “What the hell was he doing here?” Xia Houmo had always been a man of abstinence and would never appear in such a place before. After a while, the guard Yubei went into the room.
