“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.
“The child’s father is General Lin.” After Su Muge left the house and returned to Su Mansion, she took out the blood sample of General Lin and mixed it with the blood of the fetus as well as some medicine. The medical reaction proved that the child’s father in Mi’er’s belly was General Lin. While examining Mi’er’s body, she found not only her soles but also her toenails black. This was not the symptoms of the sexual disease but a toxication. After cutting open the blood vessel on Mi’er’s feet, she found no blood in it. It must be a toxin which could cause blood clotting. Su Muge frowned and found an old medical book from the box. The book was sent to her by Xia Houxi to express her gratitude. It recorded all kinds of rare herbs that could be used as medicine. She remembered that the consumption of the petals from a kind of flower could lead to the symptom of blood clotting. “I found it!
After returning to Su Mansion, Su Muge went straight to Peachblossom Courtyard. On entering the yard, she heard gentle chuckles from Zhao. Slightly frowned, Su Muge looked at Yueru and stepped into the room. When they arrived at the door, they ran into Meihua coming out with cold tea, who was taken aback at the sight of Su Muge and Yueru. “Eldest Miss, I’m sorry! You must be frightened by me.” Meihua instantly apologized. Su Muge found her quite normal, without even the slightest trace of anxiety. “You told Yueru that my mother felt uncomfortable. What’s the matter?” Hearing that, Meihua felt a little ashamed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have sent the message before figuring out the actual situation. Please forgive me, eldest Miss.” Thinking of Meihua’s expression at the time, Yueru knew that she had been serious with the message, so she asked, “What’s going on?”
“With so broad and profound medical knowledge in the world, nobody can be a master in all aspects. I just know more about a few aspects of them.” Su Muge was not humble or overbearing, which attracted Concubine Qin’s attention. As Xia Houxi was about to speak, Xia Hourui who was sitting behind her suddenly gave a heavy cough and then gasped violently. “Eh-hem.” The gasping sound was like the sound of playing rusty accordion bellows, which gave people goosebumps. “Your Majesty, how are you feeling! Hurry up, call the imperial doctor!” Concubine Qin made a quick reaction and stepped forward to support Xia Hourui with anxiety in her eyes. Eunuch Yi was terribly frightened and hurriedly asked the palace people to find the deputy director of the Imperial Institute of Medicine. Standing there at a loss, Xia Houxi and Xia Houyin were also terrified by this sudden accident. “Fathe
