“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 asking for help was so displeasing. If he hadn’t saved her twice, she would have already driven him out.
“Me.”
“Nonsense, hurry …” Guima raised his head in shock. “What did you say?”
Su Muge yawned. “I mean, I detoxified myself.”
“You?!” Guima really jumped up from the chair this time.
Thinking it not enough to stimulate him, Su Muge took out a black pill from her bag and threw it to him. “This is the antidote. Take it back for study. I am tired.”
Guima took the medicine and sniffed. “You’d better not lie to me.” After talking, he rushed out of the window.
Su Muge went to the window and closed it tightly.
“It turns out that the guards are only strict around the Emperor!”
Early the next morning, Su Muge delivered the pill made of Concubine Qin’s heart blood to Jing’an Palace.
In the study outside Jing’an Palace.
Xia Hourui turned his back to Xia Houmo with his hands at his back.
“It’s my dereliction of duty this time. Please punish me, father.”
Xia Hourui didn’t look back and said blankly. “Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”
Xia Hourui slightly rolled his black eyes, appearing to be slightly surprised.
Before Xia Houmo could answer, Xia Hourui continued, “Do you think I don’t know? How can those fierce beasts get close to me easily? There must be some problems with the two black bears.”
Xia Houmo admired his father’s rigorous and careful thinking. “Yes.”
“I was first attacked by the beasts, and then the girl of Su Mansion had an accident. Do you really think I can perceive nothing? They are to kill me! It seems that I am too kind to them!”
Xia Houmo raised his dashing eyebrows slightly but didn’t express any opinion on the matter.
“Send someone to investigate secretly. If anything strange happens, come to tell me immediately.”
“Yes, father.”
“Your Majesty, Second Prince is awakened.” There came Eunuch Yi’s voice from outside.
Hearing this, Xia Hourui relaxed a little. “Your second brother has suffered a lot to save me this time. Come and see him with me.”
Xia Hourui and Xia Houmo entered the inner hall; Xia Houkun woke up and lay on the bed with a pale face.
Seeing Xia Hourui enter the house, he tried to get up but failed.
“Father…”
Xia Hourui stepped forward and asked him not to move. “You’ve just woken up and you are still weak. Don’t move.”
Su Muge stood aside and took a quick glance at Xia Houmo before lowering her eyes.
“How is Second Prince?” Xia Hourui looked at Su Muge and asked.
“Your Majesty, Second Prince has woken up and has no life risk now. But his injury is so serious that he has to rest for at least three months to be fully recovered.”
Three months!
“Sucks!”
As soon as Xia Houkun moved, he felt extreme pain in his back. He didn’t expect his injury to be so serious!
But looking at the look of his father, he felt his injury was not in vain. However, he was asked to rest for three months … within these three months, too much could happen!
“Father, it is just trauma. I’m not that fragile. How could I rest for so long?”
Su Muge said coldly, “Second Prince, you may not know that your bones have been bruised. You’d better take a quiet rest to recuperate so as not to leave any incompletely cured illness.
“Since that is the case, you just rest assured and take a good rest.” Xia Hourui gave the final word, and Xia Houkun dared not to refute it. He was so painful that he would rather die!
“Ninth brother, you are here too.” Xia Houkun seemed to have just seen Xia Houmo and smiled weakly.
Xia Houmo replied with an indifferent look. “Brother, you’ve suffered.”
Xia Houkun shook his head carelessly. “As long as our father is fine, it’s worthwhile for me to suffer a little bit. But the two black bears are too strange. Father was not in the deep forest at that time. How could the black bears come out? Ninth brother, haven’t you found anything strange during the inspection?”
Well!
He couldn’t wait to pick on Xia Houmo after just waking up.
Su Muge pouted, thinking the half-dead Second Princes was too anxious to succeed!
Xia Houmo kept his countenance. “The two black bears were drugged and rushed out.”
There was a flicker of panic in Xia Houkun’s eyes. “Someone intended to murder father. Father, this matter must be investigated.”
Xia Hourui’s expression had faded at this time. “Well, take care of your injury first. Don’t worry about other things.”
Seeing that Xia Hourui didn’t want to continue this topic, Xia Houkun stopped mentioning it again.
“Your mother has donated a whole bowl of heart blood to save you this time.”
“What?”
Xia Houkun just wondered where Concubine Qin was.
“Heart blood …”
“Yeah, I saw it with my own eyes.”
After a quarter, Su Muge and Xia Houmo came out of Jing’an Palace.
Xia Houmo walked in front, and Su Muge walked one step behind him.
“Heart blood. How can you think of it?!” Xia Houmo walking in front suddenly spoke.
Su Muge was not surprised that he could see through her intentional deeds.
“Thank you for your praise, Your Royal Highness.”
Xia Houmo suddenly stopped and turned slightly to look at her. “Am I praising you?”
Su Muge looked up and saw his exquisite profile; the golden sunlight sprinkled on his face, covering his outline with the dreamy golden light.
With a flicker of panic in her eyes, Su Muge promptly withdrew her sight. “I just take it as your praise, Your Royal Highness.”
Xia Houmo raised the corner of his lips. Watching her big rolling eyes, he suddenly wanted to ask what she was thinking.
“Glib-tongued! Do you want to know who the man in the forest is?”
Xia Houmo continued walking ahead but at a much slower speed; he seemed to be adjusting himself to Su Muge’s pace.
Thinking of the face she saw before her faint, Su Muge pursed her lips tightly. “Yes! “ At least she had to know who her enemy was!
“King Dingxi.”
“King Dingxi …”
Before going to the capital, she had obtained a profile of the bigwigs in the capital from Su Lun.
There was also a record of this king, but his information was very little.
King Dingxi, a half-brother of the Emperor, was said to have been particularly outstanding with a high momentum when the Emperor was a prince. Even the previous Emperor was very satisfied with King Dingxi.
But King Dingxi had made a mistake of insulting the last concubine favored by the previous Emperor, who immediately entitled him “King” and drove him to the fiefdom.
Only then could the Emperor rise and ascend the dragon throne.
King Dingxi used to be the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, but he was finally sent to the fiefdom. How could he be willing to accept his ending?
“He aims at me because I am detoxifying the Emperor?”
“Yes.”
She was really an innocent victim!
The two walked on the stone steps paved with white marble and met with another person head-on.
Su Muge found him an acquaintance, who also looked up at this time and met Su Muge’s eyes.
The man glanced at Xia Houmo who was walking in front of Su Muge and came close to them. “Pay my respects to you, King of Jin.”
Xia Houmo stopped and noticed that Meng Xiuwen looked up at Su Muge.
“OK.”
Meeting Meng Xiuwen’s eyes, Su Muge could only greet him, “Where are you going, the eldest Master Meng?”
“Oh, hearing that Second Prince has awakened, my father asked me to greet him.”
Seeing the two talking, Xia Houmo was very unhappy to be left aside. Especially when he saw Su Muge talking to Meng Xiuwen with a smile, his unhappiness was even stronger!
He moved slightly to block Su Muge behind him. “Since you are to greet Second Prince, go ahead.”
With Su Muge’s slender figure out of sight suddenly, Meng Xiuwen was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that he had something more important to do.
“Yes.”
Meng Xiuwen left reluctantly. When Su Muge was to continue walking, she found the figure was standing still in front of her.
She had to admit that Xia Houmo was really tall; especially when standing in front of her, he was like a mountain!
“Your Royal Highness?”
When Xia Houmo looked down at her, Su Muge could obviously feel his unhappiness.
He was in a good mood just now. Was he too emotional? Was he having a grudge against Meng Xiuwen?
“Meng Mansion has teased you over and over again, but you can keep so calm.”
Hearing this, Su Muge knew he was talking about her treating Old Lady Meng.
It was not surprising that Xia Houmo knew it; people like him might have investigated her completely long before.
“Your Royal Highness, everyone is living hard in this world. We’d better keep the peace of our mind, or we’ll be short-lived.”
Xia Houmo laughed out loud. “You are quite optimistic.”
Su Muge shrugged.
Xia Houmo still had something else to deal with, so the two separated after passing the corridor.
On the way back to her guest room, Su Muge met Su Jingwen who was specially dressed up.
However, Su Jingwen didn’t notice her but went to another arch.
Su Muge didn’t pay much attention. But just as she sat down after returning to her room, someone came to the door.
“Miss Su, Concubine Qin was terribly painful last night; the Emperor is very worried and asks you to go to see her.”
Looking at the messenger maid with a cynical smile, Su Muge could only pick up her medical kit again.
Couldn’t she bear such little pain?
“Then I’ll let you taste something else!” She thought.
