“All of you go elsewhere to find the leopard.”
“Yes.”
After entering the hunting field, Xia Hourui ordered the officials to disperse, leaving only ten people to follow him.
Xia Houmo and Xia Houkun followed Xia Hourui into the forest.
“Father, look, it’s a leopard!” Xia Houkun pointed forward. Xia Hourui followed his line of sight and saw a leopard creeping in the grass. Judging from the gesture of the leopard, it was also waiting for a hunting opportunity.
Xia Hourui stretched the bow in his hand to its utmost and aimed at the leopard which slowly looked towards him.
Just as the arrow in Xia Hourui’s hand was about to be shot, the leopard suddenly rushed deep into the forest.
“Hurry up! Disperse to encircle and catch it!” Xia Hourui was immediately interested and let everyone chase after the leopard.
Xia Houkun rushed to the front, appearing to be the most earnest one.
Su Muge endured severe pain and climbed out of the dim house. Her antidote pill hidden in the hairpin had been taken away, so she was unable to deal with the poison in her body now! She was in a mountain forest, where it might be possible to find herbs to alleviate the toxicity. She only hoped that she was lucky enough not to encounter any beasts. But in a while, her forehead has already been covered with sweat beads and her hands were gradually covered with blood. “Howl, howl …” A low howl resounded in her ears; Su Muge became nervous suddenly. If one was out of luck, even water would plug one’s teeth! She slowly looked up and saw a pair of eyes glittering with a green light in the forest. It was a wolf! The wolf seemed to have sensed the weakness of the prey and quietly walked out of the forest towards Su Muge step by step. Su Muge closed her eyes. When she
Su Muge felt so cold as if she had been thrown into ice and snow and shivered. “Cold, so cold ...” Xia Houmo looked at the skinny girl shivering in his arms and slowly reached out to hug her. “Well…” Feeling the warm temperature of Xia Houmo, Su Muge hummed comfortably and stayed in his arms with a comfortable position. Xia Houmo put his thick palm gently on her thin shoulder. On touching her, he felt like getting an electric shock and held her more tightly into his arms. The moment when her small face pressed against his chest, he felt a warm current flowing towards his heart. It seemed nice if he could hold her like this forever. ... Su Muge felt a little bitter in her mouth and frowned uncomfortably. Gradually, she recovered her consciousness. “Look, she wakes up.” “Well!” Feeing a pain in the point between her thu
Su Muge followed the messenger maid in the villa illuminated by the lantern. Jing’an Palace was the Emperor’s chamber in the villa. Could it be that Xia Hourui was unwell again? “Sister, I wonder why the Emperor asked me to come over at this time. What happened to him?” While talking, Su Muge stuffed a pocket of money into the maid’s hand. Seeing this, the maid replied to her smilingly, “Miss Su, Second Prince was injured for the protection of the Emperor, and the Emperor was very anxious. But Second Prince was injured so seriously that the imperial doctors could do nothing about it. The Emperor heard that you have returned safely and asked you for help.” Xia Hourui meant to let her save Xia Houkun! Shit! Xia Houyin had almost killed her, and now she was asked to treat Xia Houkun. Did they really think her a pushover!? The maid led Su Muge to Jing’an Palace and a eunuch stepped forward to lead her in
“Second Prince has lost too much blood and needs the blood of his immediate family as the guiding drug.” Concubine Qin clenched the handkerchief in her hand. “To save Kun’er, I’m even willing to donate my life, let alone some blood. How much blood do you need?” Seeing Concubine Qin’s appearance of a loving mother, Su Muge revealed a trace of irony in her eyes, wondering if she could continue saying her grandiose words later on. “Concubine Qin, please rest assured. I don’t need much blood; a bowl is enough.” Hearing it, Concubine Qin secretly exhaled. A bowl of blood was not much indeed. She was still fine after having lost much blood during the menstrual period every month. “Okay, come on, get a bowl.” Xia Hourui was touched by the affection of this mother and son. Although he was Xia Houkun’s biological father, he could do nothing due to his poor health. Suddenly, Xia Hourui looked at
“There you are at last! You’re so hard to find!” Su Muge abruptly looked up with a headache at the man who suddenly entered her room. “My Lord, I wonder why you break into my room at night?” Guima sat down on a chair with a posture showing that he had known everything. “I came here for only one purpose. Tell me, who detoxified the Red Fire in your body?” Su Muge had known that Guima would ask her this question as soon as she saw him after waking up. At this point, Su Muge didn’t intend to pretend to be ignorant. “Why, you haven’t made the antidote of Red Fire yet?” Hearing this, Guima almost jumped up from the chair. “Nonsense! I’ve made it long before!” “Then why do you ask me?” Guima wouldn’t admit that he wanted to know who got the antidote of Red Fire before he did. “Just tell me! Don’t talk so much nonsense.” His attitude of a
“Concubine Qin, your wound hasn’t healed yet, so you can’t move.” Su Jingwen nervously placed a cushion behind Concubine Qin’s waist. “Concubine Qin, the eldest Miss Su is here.” With a flicker of hatred in her eyes, Concubine Qin immediately returned to normal. “Let her in.” “Yes.” Hearing that Su Muge is here, Su Jingwen widened her eyes and stood aside unpleasantly. Su Muge walked steadily into the room and bowed to salute. “Pay my respects to you, Concubine Qin.” “Get up.” Su Muge got up. Concubine Qin leaned on the edge of the bed with a pale face and a bad spirit. Her phoenix eyes were no longer fierce and sharp but weak and delicate. “I heard that Second Prince has already been awake. Su Muge, it’s your credit.” Su Muge responded blankly, “Thanks to your heart blood, Second Prince can wake up so soon.” Looking
“Miss, please forgive my laziness. Last night, I fed the young master a little bit more before going to bed. But he didn’t fall asleep until he finished hiccups. I found him not over-fed, so I went to sleep.” Fang choked with sobs. Usually, little Wenmo would have to drink milk at least once every two hours. However, due to her laziness, Fang fed him too much at one time and omitted his meals for the whole night. Su Muge looked at Meihua. “Did the young master cry in the night?” During Zhao’s absence, Meihua slept in the outer room of little Wenmo’s room at night, while Fang slept in the inner room. Meihua shook her head. “No, the young master didn’t cry last night.” Children would cry whenever they were hungry or wanted to urinate. However, after drinking so much milk before going to bed last night, little Wenmo hadn’t urinated or felt hungry during at least 8 hours. Su Muge glanced at the other mai
Donglin took a deep breath, wishing to swallow down the bear paw on the table! He felt so amused at the thought of the little maid’s shocked look while holding the gold ingot rewarded by His Royal Highness. “Your Royal Highness, what about us testing the bear paw soup and the roasted bear paw?” “Yes, Your Royal Highness, let us see if it’s poisonous.” They wondered how Miss Su had cooked the bear paws, which smelled so good! Hardly had Donglin and Zuoqiu finished speaking when Xia Houmo gave them a stern look. “No, you may retreat.” Donglin and others reluctantly retreated while watching the bear paw on the table. “Do you think His Royal Highness will eat it?” Having been with Xia Houmo for many years, they knew that Xia Houmo wouldn’t eat anything casually. “This is hard to say. It smells so good after all.” Zuowei punched Zuoqiu. “Do you think His Royal Hig
