Chapter 68 Internal Injury
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
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.
“His Royal Highness, my men couldn’t catch up with the King of Jin and found nothing wrong in the Blossoms Tower.”
Considering Xia Houmo’s light skills, it was normal for his men to lose trace of him.
“His Royal Highness, could it be that King of Jin came here after knowing your arrival…”
“Keep monitoring.”
“Yes.”
…
“It’s my privacy. I don’t have to report to you in detail, do I?”
“Privacy? General Lin is the backbone of our country. I naturally have to find out if anyone is going to harm him. If you conceal the clues and General Lin has any accidents later on, will you bear the responsibility?”
Su Muge frowned and glared at Xia Houmo, feeling her drunkenness rushing up again.
“Do I have anything to do with the matter between you imperial nobles? Why should I, a doctor, bear the responsibility for you?” Su Muge stumbled unsteadily but she was not afraid of the cold aura of Xia Houmo.
“Is there any law in this country? Do you make laws for fun in Chu?”
After shouting, Su Muge felt her frustration had disappeared a lot; she had been enduring grievance since she treated Old Lady Meng.
“Are you finished?” Xia Houmo just watched her quietly; he was not angry at all and seemed to get interested in her.
Su Muge snorted in her heart, thinking that these people were really masochists.
“I still have something to do. Excuse me.” She turned around to leave but was pulled back into a hard embrace the next moment.
“Ouch!”
Su Muge felt extremely painful, struggling to get rid of his arms around her waist.
“What are you doing? Let me go!”
Feeling her slender waist, Xia Houmo slightly lifted his arms and held up Su Muge, thus facing her eye to eye.
Su Muge stared up at him. “You, you pervert, let me go!”
Xia Houmo held her even tighter and slowly got closer to her.
Looking at the handsome face, Su Muge only felt her heartbeat getting faster and faster!
Just as the tips of their noses were about to touch one another, Su Muge gritted her teeth, retreated sharply and hit his nose hard.
“Ouch!”
Xia Houmo called in a low voice. And Su Muge took the chance to break away from him and looked at him provocatively from a few meters away.
Xia Houmo stepped towards her, with each step slow and stable, as if a hunting beast were gradually approaching his prey.
Su Muge was extremely nervous, wondering if she had infuriated him just now!
The air froze in an instant.
“Brave girl.”
Su Muge stood still and upright, unwilling to lose her momentum. But as Xia Houmo approached step by step, the air around him became too frozen to breathe.
“Tell me, what on earth do you want? !”
“Miss, Miss, what’s wrong with you?”
Su Muge suddenly opened her eyes and saw the cold moonlight and the familiar bed-curtain in the dimness. She took a deep breath. Damn it! Why did she dream about the demon Xia Houmo?!
In order not to worry Yueru, she calmed down and said lightly, “Nothing, just a nightmare. Go back to sleep. Don’t keep watching me here.”
Yueru whispered, “I’ll stay with you. Miss, call me anytime you want.”
Su Muge didn’t force her to go to sleep.
She closed her eyes and Xia Houmo’s words kept hovering in her mind.
“Never enter the Blossom Tower again.”
She vaguely remembered that these were the last words Xia Houmo left after he sent her back to Su Mansion. No, it should be an order!
She could finally get a breakthrough in General Lin’s illness. How could he forbid her to go further?!
She was also able to work on the illness based on General Lin’s condition, but it would take much longer.
With great anger, Su Muge wrapped herself with the quilt and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. Su Muge rubbed her eyes and frowned, feeling a severe headache.
Yueru, who was guarding outside, heard the movement and hurriedly came in with hot water.
“Miss, you are finally up. Madam is so worried that she wants to find a doctor for you.”
Su Muge rubbed her temples and asked Yueru to pour her a glass of water. After drinking the water, she felt much more comfortable.
“I’m fine. Tell my mother not to worry about me.” If her hangover was known to others, it might lead to unnecessary troubles.
“Miss, where have you been yesterday? You didn’t come back after dark; I was so anxious.” While she was in worry, she entered the room and found Su Muge fallen asleep in her bed with a smell of alcohol, which greatly startled her.
Su Muge lowered her eyes and took a sip of soup. “Ah, I was so absorbed in the good medicinal herbs that I forgot about the time. I got excessively tired and fell asleep as soon as I came back.”
How could she get such a strong smell of alcohol from medicinal herbs? Yueru didn’t ask more but decided to follow Su Muge the next time she went out!
“How’s my mother?” Since Zhao returned from Luoyin Temple, she hadn’t been in a rather good mood.
“Madam looks better now. Sister Meihua found that she smiled while holding the young master.”
Hearing that, Su Muge nodded; she didn’t want Zhao to torture herself with others’ faults.
After the meal, Su Muge went for a walk in the mansion by herself.
Yesterday, she went to Blossoms Tower to find out whether General Lin’s illness was caused by Jinghong.
She had gotten the answer after her contact with Jinghong yesterday. It wasn’t her. If she had a sexual disease that could infect General Lin, she would have had even more serious symptoms than that of General Lin; but her skin was smooth and her body had no peculiar odor.
On the contrary, the maid named Mi’er could probably be the root cause of General Lin’s illness.
While in meditation, she felt something suddenly thrown towards her.
Su Muge stepped back subconsciously and found a paper ball on the ground rolling to her feet.
Su Muge looked around and found no one; she quickly picked up the paper ball and opened it.
“Mi’er is dead.”
Su Muge suddenly put on a grave look and quickly put away the paper ball.
After returning to Peachblossom Room, she changed into a man’s suit and was about to leave.
“Miss, where are you going? Let me go with you.” Seeing this, Yueru stepped forward and stopped her.
Su Muge frowned. “No!”
“But Miss, I’m worried about you being alone …”
Su Muge wanted to keep it quiet and secret; if Zhao knew, she would definitely stop her from leaving the mansion. “Yueru, I have to go out because it is related to General Mansion. Do you know the consequence if the patient in General Mansion has any accidents?”
Hearing her words, Yueru turned pale instantly.
“Miss, you mean something goes wrong at General Mansion!”
Su Muge nodded. “So I have to figure it out. You stay here and take good care of my mother and little brother. Don’t let An and her daughter have any chance to make troubles.”
Yueru nodded. “Miss, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the courtyard!”
After coming out of Peachblossom Courtyard, Su Muge left Su Mansion through the back door.
To her surprise, as soon as she went out, she was stopped by a man. Looking up, she found him the guard of Xia Houmo named Donglin.
Donglin was also a little surprised to see Su Muge; he didn’t expect her to be so fast. “His Royal Highness has asked me to wait here for Miss Su.”
Su Muge went straightforward. “Where’s her corpse?”
“Miss Su, please follow me.”
Donglin led Su Muge out of the alley, got on a carriage and went towards the suburbs.
“What’s the matter?”
“After leaving the brothel, His Royal Highness asked me to keep an eye on Mi’er yesterday. Unexpectedly, Mi’er was killed while bathing. When the murderer was about to destroy her corpse, he was discovered and stopped in time by our men.”
Mi’er was a woman after all. Even if she was monitored in secret, she wouldn’t be peeped while taking a bath. The murderer must have taken the chance and killed the girl!
What a keen reaction!
The carriage stopped at a private house in the suburb. The whole alley was almost empty.
Su Muge got out of the carriage and followed Donglin into the innermost house.
The house was small, in which there was only one table; Mi’er’s body was placed on that table.
Su Muge stepped forward and lifted the mat covering her body, only to see Mi’er’s eyes wide open with sorrow and fear. She couldn’t rest in peace after being murdered with a grievance.
She removed her clothes and found her body full of red spots with black mattery blisters, which looked very disgusting.
“Her main artery was cut open and she bled to death. The wound is neat and fatal. He must have been a skilled murderer.”
On hearing her description, Donglin was surprised; he knew Su Muge had excellent medical skills, but he didn’t expect her to understand autopsy so well.
“She has been pregnant for three months,” Donglin said.
Su Muge was slightly shocked and reached out to touch Mi’er’s abdomen. The three-month-old fetus had gradually formed a human shape, and the pregnant woman’s belly would swell to a certain extent in the fourth month.
“Who is the father of the child?”
Donglin shook his head. “No idea.”
“Do you have vinegar and liquor?”
Donglin nodded and ordered his men to carry two jars of vinegar and liquor.
“Excuse me.”
Su Muge first wiped Mi’er’s body with vinegar before lancing her abdomen with a scalpel.
Donglin trembled subconsciously to see her open the belly composedly.
Su Muge was fully absorbed in her operation and dragged the fetus out of Mi’er’s belly.
“Ugh! (vomit)”
Looking at the thing covered with blood, Donglin felt a surge in his stomach.
