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.
Su Muge lifted her foot and kicked his wrist, making the stick fall to the ground. “Since he has stolen your things, report to the officials. I believe the government will look into this. You’d better be prepared to explain clearly where the money was placed, what it looked like, when it was lost and when it was stolen by him, as well as where is the stolen money now. If you can’t tell, don’t blame the official for being rude to you!” Hearing her words, Old Third Zhang turned surly. “Who are you, little bitch? Get out of here! Or I’ll hit you as well!” Old Third Zhang raised the stick in his hand and slammed towards Su Muge. Just as the hidden secret guards wanted to stand out, Old Third Zhang had been covering his eyes and rolling on the ground in pain the next moment. Secret guard A asked, “When did she take the action?” Secret guard B shook his head. “I didn’t see it!” Su Muge leisurely clapped he
In the Yangyi Palace of the Imperial Palace. “Your Majesty, Doctor Chen and Miss Su are here.” A little eunuch walked into the hall and whispered, for fear of disturbing Xia Hourui who was resting on the couch with his eyes closed. Concubine Qin was leaning against the couch and rubbing the legs for Xia Hourui; hearing the words, she revealed a flicker of harsh countenance in her beautiful eyes. Xia Hourui opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Let them in.” “Yes.” Concubine Qin looked at Xia Hourui with a smile. “Your Majesty, Miss Su is skilled in medicine. I believe she’ll help you recover.” Xia Hourui suddenly fainted during the competition of Su Muge and Zhang Yue three days ago. At that time, Concubine Qin highly recommended that Su Muge should treat Xia Hourui but she was stopped by Xia Houmo. Concubine Qin thought it would annoy Xia Hourui, but he seemed to b
Not until Su Muge returned to Peachblossom Courtyard did she take out the two invitations to the hunting party and put them on the table. At first glance, there was no difference between the two invitations, but a closer look revealed that the flowers inlaid in the lower right corner of the invitations were different. The invitation Madam Lin gave her was with a golden peony flower, but the invitation given to her by the little maid in the Palace was with a lunar white orchid. “Miss, these are invitations to the hunting party?” Yueru entered the room with tea and said in surprise at the sight of the invitation on the table. “You can recognize?” Yueru nodded. “I saw Yu’er of the second Miss show it off a few days ago, thus getting to know about it. Miss, I’ve heard from Yu’er that this hunting party invitation is extremely rare. Those who could attend are mostly nobles and official families of the cap
Su Muge stared at Xia Houmo who directly sat down in the carriage. After sitting down, Xia Houmo looked towards her. “Since you like this jade porcelain teapot patterned with birds paying homage to the phoenix so much, I’ll give it to you.” Su Muge looked down and found she was holding the teapot tightly as if she was reluctant to let it go. She put the teapot back onto the table embarrassedly. “Didn’t you just ride away?” Why did he come back?! Xia Houmo took the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. “The weather is getting colder and I suddenly feel like riding the carriage.” Su Muge nodded. In the narrow space of the carriage, she always felt overwhelmed by the breath of Xia Houmo. Seeing her sitting in the corner like a kitten, Xia Houmo felt like teasing her. “Have you received the invitation to the hunting party?” The hunting party was t
When Su Muge and Zhao walked out of the door, Su Lun and An had already got into the carriage. Without many carriages in Su Mansion, Su Muge and Zhao could only sit in a carriage. The hunting party could be said to be an annual large-scale event in the noble circle in the capital. Every mansion with invitations must gather outside the Palace gate and set off for the hunting field outside the city in a unified formation. On the way from the capital to the outskirts of the city, there would be an activity of scattering copper coins and all common people present could pick them up. Su Lun’s official rank wasn’t high, so his carriages could only follow behind the carriages of those noble families. “Miss, the Emperor will attend the hunting party this year.” Xinlan, who was following the carriage outside, approached the curtain and whispered. Su Muge came out this time with two maids, Xinlan and Xinche, and left Yueru
Xia Houyin revealed a hint of anger in her eyes while watching Su Muge approaching slowly. Only after getting close did Su Muge notice that her riding suit was much similar to Xia Houyin’s. Except for the same color of bright red, their matching belts looked almost the same. Such a coincidence! Su Muge didn’t care, but Xia Houyin was unhappy. Especially when she saw the pattern of peacock tail on the corner of Su Muge’s eyes, she couldn’t help becoming jealous. “Besides your ugly face, you’re even scarier with that kind of disgusting thing on your eyes. Only you Su Muge can do this!” Su Muge didn’t want to argue with her. “I dare not to scare Your Royal Highness with my ugly face. Please excuse my departure.” Seeing that Su Muge really wanted to leave, Xia Houyin was in a sulk. “Su Muge, do you want to be driven out of the hunting field? Come back quickly!” O
