Chapter 117 Falling Ill
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“Ceylon, stop!” A fierce shout resounded in the darkness. King Dingxi was striding to them, with a pair of eagle eyes fixed coldly on Infanta Ceylon.
Infanta Ceylon frowned and withdrew her strength. But the barbs on her whip hooked on the guard and tore off the entire front part of his rode.
“What are you doing here?” King Dingxi stared at Infanta Ceylon and asked with a chilling tone.
Infanta Ceylon sneered. “Father, you’ve brought brother to the capital. Is it wrong for me to see my brother as his sister?!”
“There’s no need for you to worry about your brother. Send the infanta back to the palace.”
“Yes.”
Two ghostly figures flashed out of the darkness in front of Infanta Ceylon.
“I can go back, but you have to give her to me!” Infanta Ceylon pointed directly at Su Muge with her whip.
Su Muge looked up at the angry face of Infanta Ceylon and raised the corner of her mouth coldly. “Your Royal Highness, I should go back.”
King Dingxi looked at the man in a robe who nodded at him. Then King Dingxi hinted the secret guard to take Su Muge away.
Seeing Su Muge taken away, Infanta Ceylon went angry with red eyes. “You have taken advantage of me to return to the capital. Now that I just want to kill her, how could you stop me?!”
Su Muge, who had been blindfolded, paused and suddenly realized something.
It turned out that Infanta Ceylon’s falling into the water was just a scheme of King Dingxi!
Just to get a reason to appear in the capital!
He traveled a long distance to the capital day and night for the sake of his beloved daughter. Even if the Emperor blamed him, he would get the sympathy of the public. If the Emperor gave him a heavy penalty, the Emperor wouldn’t be regarded as righteous and benevolent. What a clever scheme!
King Dingxi was also irritated and fixed his sharp eyes on Infanta Ceylon, making her shudder.
“Take her back!”
“Yes.”
Su Muge was taken back to Su Mansion. She was very tired, but she couldn’t fall asleep in bed.
She felt herself so cowardly. King Dingxi almost killed her in the woods, but now she was actually treating his son’s legs!
Then she began to think about how to avenge herself quietly. King Dingxi’s kung fu was quite excellent. And there were many hidden masters around him, who were not only masters of martial arts but also masters of poisoning. So, it was difficult for her to poison him!
With so many thoughts in her head, she didn’t sleep well that night.
After Su Muge left, a black figure in a huge black cloak walked out, with his entire body wrapped and hidden.
The black figure walked into Xia Houpo’s room, glanced at his bandaged legs, and reached out his hand…
When his hand was about to touch Xia Houpo, King Dingxi grabbed his wrist. “What are you doing?”
The man stopped. “Since she can detoxify His Majesty, she must have some excellent medical skills. I just want to have a look. Your Royal Highness, don’t be so nervous.”
King Dingxi narrowed his eyes and released his hand.
The Emperor was indeed poisoned by him. His actions were so secret that the Emperor didn’t become aware of the poison until he felt unwell.
He originally thought his plan would be carried out as he wished. Unexpectedly, Su Muge appeared suddenly and detoxified the Emperor!
Since the Emperor didn’t die, many of his schemes would have to change!
But it was undeniable that Su Muge was useful indeed…
“Your Royal Highness, you’ve always disallowed me to treat the eldest Master’s legs, but you believe in a fledging little girl.”
Hearing this, King Dingxi revealed a flicker of sternness in his eyes. “What are you going to use to treat my son’s legs?!”
“My poisonous insects can make the eldest Master stand up in a short time.”
King Dingxi snorted. He would never allow poisonous insects to be used on his son.
“Your Royal Highness, you must have your plan after entering the capital this time?” The man in black chuckled with a viperish and chilling voice, making people shiver.
King Dingxi smiled with confidence in his eyes. “Since I’ve come, I won’t certainly go back!”
…
Su Muge woke up with a severe headache. She opened her eyes in a daze, feeling her body as heavy as lead.
She tried to open her mouth but found her lips sticking together. She struggled to stand up with all her strength but lost her footing and fell off her bed.
Su Muge closed her eyes tightly, waiting for her body to fall to the ground. However, the expected pain didn’t come; she felt a pair of strong arms holding her up.
Su Muge opened her eyes slowly; in a daze, she saw an incredible face in front of her. “Your Royal Highness …”
She tried her best to speak, but her voice was as hoarse as a broken bellow.
Su Muge shook her head to become soberer. Was it an illusion? How could she see Xia Houmo?
She hadn’t seen him for a long time since they separated at the gate of Su Mansion last time.
Xia Houmo frowned with his dashing eyebrows and fixed his eyes on Su Muge, who collapsed in his arms. She looked more delicate than usual with her flushed face.
After he returned to the capital, he suddenly thought of her for some reason. Before he could figure out the reason, he had already been in her room.
As soon as he entered, he saw her almost falling off the bed.
Xia Houmo held her to the bed and put her down. As he turned around, he found his sleeves tightly grasped by her.
“Water, water …”
Looking at her fair hands, Xia Houmo pried them open gently, walked to the table and poured her a cup of hot water on the stove.
After he fed Su Muge the water, he was surprised suddenly. How could he take care of her so smoothly?
He frowned and stood up suddenly. Looking at Su Muge’s small face, he had a very strange feeling in his heart, which he had never had before.
This uncontrollable feeling made him very unhappy. He gave her a deep look and disappeared from the room in a blink of an eye.
After drinking a glass of water, Su Muge still felt very thirsty. She moved her body and instantly fell to the ground.
“Bang!”
Hearing the sound, Yueru and Xinlan called her several times but didn’t get a response. Then they broke into the room and found Su Muge lying on the ground.
“Miss, you, what’s wrong with you?”
Yueru held Su Muge up and found her flushed in a daze.
“Oh, it’s so hot. Sister Yueru, Miss is sick.”
“What’s wrong with Miss?” Xinche walked in and hurried forward to help.
“Xinche, we’ll hold Miss onto the bed. You go to find Madam and ask her to invite a doctor.”
“Yes, I’ll go right now.”
Su Muge felt cold on her face; someone opened her mouth and poured bitter medicine into her mouth.
“Hmm…” Although she was specialized in Chinese medicine since childhood, she hated taking Chinese medicine the most.
“Mumu, you can get better after drinking the medicine.”
Seeing Su Muge spitting out the medicine, Zhao pacified her softly. Su Muge must have heard her and obediently drank up half a bowl of medicine.
Yueru took over the medicine bowl with red and tearful eyes. “It’s my fault. I didn’t come to look after Miss at night, leaving Miss cold and sick.”
Zhao was also very worried. It had been a long time since Su Muge fell ill last time.
Meihua appeased Zhao gently, “Don’t worry, Madam. The doctor has said Miss’s body is tough, and it won’t take long before she gets better.”
Su Muge woke up at noon the next day.
She opened her eyes, looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and sat up.
She reached out to touch her forehead; she had returned to normal temperature.
Su Muge laughed at herself; how could she fall ill because of such random thoughts?
She looked around the room, feeling that she had seen Xia Houmo when she was sick …
It must be an illusion. How could Xia Houmo come to her at that time?
Yueru came in with medicine and became very happy to see Su Muge wake up. “Miss, you finally wake up. I am so terrified.”
Su Muge looked at her dark circles, knowing that she must have stayed up for a long time. “You have stayed up?”
“Miss, you are still running a fever. I can’t fall asleep. Now that you are awake, Madam can finally rest assured. I’ll tell them to inform her.”
Since she had been hungry for a long time, Su Muge only had a bowl of vegetable porridge.
“Miss, drink the medicine first.”
Looking at the black medicine, Su Muge frowned subconsciously. But for her body, he gritted her teeth and drank it up.
Due to her illness, Su Muge stayed at Peachblossom Courtyard for three days without ever leaving the courtyard.
In the early morning of the fourth day, she couldn’t bear it anymore. She stretched herself, put on her shoes, and got out of bed. Then she pushed open the window to breathe the fresh air outside.
“Miss, how can you get up? You haven’t recovered yet. Don’t catch a cold again…” Seeing Su Muge standing by the window, Yueru said anxiously.
Su Muge smiled carelessly. “I’ve been in bed for so many days and I’ve recovered already. If I don’t get up and move around, I’ll be really sick.”
“Let me help you change clothes. It’s getting cold now and will snow at any time.”
Su Muge stood by the window and breathed for a while; the blowing wind was bone-chilling indeed.
“It’s going to snow in the capital in winter.”
“Isn’t it? I heard that it’s going to be heavy snow in the capital.”
After breakfast, a maid came to report that Infanta Ceylon had come and wanted to see Su Muge.
“Infanta Ceylon? Miss, she, will she…” Yueru went pale and looked at Su Muge worriedly.
“Look at you. Can she swallow us? It’s in the capital not on King Dingxi’s fiefdom.”
Su Muge changed into a lunar-white dress and went to the front hall.
“Bang!”
“How dare you serve me such inferior tea?!”
“Your Grace, please spare my life…”
As soon as Su Muge walked to the door, she heard the sound coming from inside.
Su Muge lifted her dress and walked in.
