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
After sending Xia Hourui and Xia Houyin back, An Mama held Concubine Qin to take a stroll in the imperial garden. “It’s getting colder. Ask the imperial kitchen to make some mutton bone soup for the Emperor to warm up his body.” Concubine Qin gently fiddled with a gorgeous orchid with her slim and fair fingers and said with a soft tone which made people feel like the spring breeze. An Mama answered with a smile. “Yes, Your Grace, you’re really nice to the Emperor wholeheartedly.” Concubine Qin raised the corner of her lips, but didn’t put on a smile. An Mama glanced at the maids behind them, and the maids knowingly stayed away from the two. “Your Grace, why didn’t you stop Eighth Princess just now? The Emperor seemed not to be pleasant about the competition?” “Since the Emperor started to feel unwell, he has only allowed Deputy Director Chen to treat for him. Of the whole Chu, only Depu
Deputy Director Chen gave out a slight sneer. After practicing medicine for many years, he could certainly see if a man is alive or dead. Su Muge covered her hands with the cotton cloth soaked with blood. She took a deep breath, and then stimulated the extraordinary talent in her body. Soon, she felt a heat flow from her palm. She looked up at Deputy Director Chen with a serious and solemn expression. “He was just in temporary shock; he’s not dead!” On hearing this, Deputy Director Chen widened his eyes with anger. He just kindly reminded her out of pity. Ungrateful! Huh, he’d like to wait and see her cry and beg when she lost the competition! Xia Houmo’s eyes fell straight on Su Muge’s hand covered by the cotton cloth. While almost everyone was thinking that Su Muge was bound to lose, Su Muge threw away the cotton cloth, stood up to take the medicine on the table, applied the medicine on the wound,
“Your Majesty!” Deputy Director Chen took a few steps forward, intending to treat Xia Hourui. Concubine Qin stepped forward from behind the screen and stopped Deputy Director Chen. “Deputy Director Chen has treated Your Majesty for so long, but no improvement has been seen. Miss Su has excellent medical skills and has just defeated your apprentice. Let Miss Su come to see Your Majesty!” Xia Hourui was already a little unconscious at this time, half-lying on the dragon throne. Xia Houmo stood up and stepped forward. “Your Majesty is feeling unwell. Ministers, you may retreat.” Knowing that their presence was no longer welcomed, the ministers got up and retreated. Obstructed by Concubine Qin, Deputy Director Chen was a little annoyed. “Your Grace, Your Majesty has always been treated by me. Please step aside. Your Majesty’s illness treatment can’t afford to be delayed!” Deputy Director Ch
Surprised to see Concubine Qin and Xia Houkun coming over, Eunuch Yi immediately came to his sense and stepped forward to make a bow. “Concubine Qin, Second Prince, pay my respects to you.” Seeing the door closed, Concubine Qin gazed at Eunuch Yi. “I heard the Emperor is awake. I’m very worried, so I come to see him with Second Prince. Why don’t you serve inside, Eunuch Yi? Is the Emperor talking with anyone?” Eunuch Yi laughed. “That’s very nice of you, Concubine Qin. The Emperor is awake, and the King of Jin is inside now.” Hearing this, Xia Houkun revealed a flicker of displeasure in his eyes. The foxy Xia Houmo had ruined his schemes over and over again and always took the lead to claim credit! “King of Jin must be worried about father, too. I’m really ashamed to be a prince.” While speaking, Xia Houkun walked towards the room. Seeing this, Eunuch Yi promptly stepped forward to stop him.
