Chapter 170 Let Him Look for Trouble

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Liu Rumeng was beaten and stumbled to the ground. She was stunned to look at little Xue with a ferocious face.

“You are such a vicious woman with a malicious mind!” Little Xue completely disregarded Liu Rumeng’s life and death and scratched Liu Rumeng’s face with her sharp nails.

“Ah … Little Xue, what are you doing! Stop!”

Su Muge waved her hand, and Yueru and other maids stepped forward to pull little Xue away from Liu Rumeng.

“Your Grace, you must believe me. I really don’t know anything. The cloak is made by me indeed, but Liu Rumeng wanted to see if I have made it well after seeing it. So she took it to her room that night. I am really innocent …” Little Xue knelt down and cried to Su Muge as soon as she was pulled away.

There were several red and swollen scratches on Liu Rumeng’s face and neck, and she felt so painful on her face. She sat up with her arms supported on the ground, and her originally soft eyes were full of hate now.

“Your Grace, I didn’t expect you to use all your means to get rid of me!”

Su Muge almost laughed out loud when she heard it. She sat on the chair and put a preserved plum into her mouth.

“I use all my means to get rid of you? Liu Rumeng, you really think you are somebody?!”

Liu Rumeng stared up at her resentfully. “Isn’t it? You are jealous of me being with His Royal Highness for so many years. If it were not for you, His Royal Highness would definitely keep me in the mansion! Now, you are still unsatisfied. You want to drive me away and exterminate me. You are so vicious!”

Su Muge suspected that Liu Rumeng was sick with a very serious delusional disorder.

If Xia Houmo really had a slight feeling for her previously, she could have helped them get together.

But now, even if Xia Houmo wanted to keep her, she would never let her go!

“Drag her out and give her a punishment of fifty floggings before throwing her out of the mansion.” Su Muge no longer had the mood to continue talking nonsense with her.

Hearing this, Liu Rumeng widened her eyes in shock. “Su Muge, you can’t do this. How can you do this to me?”

The mama who was guarding the door outside walked in, escorted Liu Rumeng, and dragged her out.

“As for her …” Su Muge looked at little Xue.

“Give her a punishment of twenty floggings, and I don’t want to see her again in the mansion.”

“Yes.” Another maid came forward to take little Xue down.

“Thank you for not killing me, Your Grace. Thank you!”

Liu Rumeng struggled desperately. “I want to see His Royal Highness! I want to see His Royal Highness! Su Muge, you malicious woman! I want to see His Royal Highness!”

“What do you want to see me for?”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind.

Liu Rumeng was stunned at first, and then she immediately revealed a hope in her eyes. “Your Royal Highness … Your Royal Highness, please save me. Her Royal Highness is going to kill me, Your Royal Highness …”

Xia Houmo raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the maid on the side. “What did Her Royal Highness say?”

“Your Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness said to give her a punishment of fifty floggings before throwing her out of the mansion.”

Only then did Xia Houmo look at Liu Rumeng. “Her Royal Highness is kind. If you can survive, I will spare your life.”

Liu Rumeng looked at Xia Houmo in disbelief. She seemed to be completely stupefied without making a response, allowing the two mamas to drag her out.

Xia Houmo walked into the room and took off his robe.

Yueru retreated after taking it.

“Why not just kill her and feed the dog?”

Xia Houmo warmed up his hands beside the stove before sitting down next to Su Muge.

Su Muge glanced at him silently. “Your Royal Highness, I’m a kind person after all.” A punishment of fifty floggings could even make a man practicing martial arts like Donglin half-dead. If Liu Rumeng could really survive with her weak body, then she would be really blessed by the gods.

Xia Houmo hugged her in his arms and dropped a kiss on her ruddy lips. “My wife is kind indeed.”

Su Muge looked at his black eyes on his smiling face, felt her heartbeat accelerated, and looked away quickly.

“Your Royal Highness, why don’t you ask who has instructed her?”

“She won’t know who it is.” If Liu Rumeng knew it, she would have said it as a bargaining chip when she was dragged down. She was not stupid after all.

“Then … is it Second Prince?”

Now both of the two phoenix tokens were in Xia Houkun’s hands, and he should be the biggest beneficiary in any way.

Xia Houmo held her up and sat down on the couch. He leaned on the soft pillow and let her lean against his chest.

“Your Royal Highness, it’s daytime now!”

Su Muge was worried that he would be restless again, so she hurriedly got up in a panic.

“I can’t during the daytime?” Xia Houmo clasped her shoulders to stop her from moving.

Su Muge replied without thinking: “Of course not!”

As soon as he got her answer, Xia Houmo turned over and pressed her under his body on the couch.

“You mean, it can be done at night?”

Su Muge looked at his teasing eyes and felt like she had jumped into his trap!

“Your Royal Highness, we are talking about something serious!”

Xia Houmo slowly leaned down towards her and kissed her forehead. And his voice was gradually becoming hoarse. “What is more important than this moment?”

Xia Houmo didn’t wait for her answer and slowly moved his lips from her cheek to her full lips.

“Well …”

Su Muge attempted to push him away subconsciously, but his whole body was as heavy and stable as a mountain, which couldn’t be shaken. So she could only be controlled and occupied by him!

Xia Houmo pinched her waist gently with his big palm, and Su Muge whispered in fright. However, he took the opportunity to catch her tongue that wanted to escape and take possession of it.

Su Muge felt that she was breathing more and more rapidly and her body temperature was getting higher and higher. And she was also in a daze.

It wasn’t until a cool hand fell on her chest that she regained her senses slightly.

She took a deep and cold breath, and her lips finally escaped from Xia Houmo’s plunder.

“Your Royal Highness, my menstruation is not over yet. It is not over!” She said hurriedly.

Xia Houmo stopped his hand slightly and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “How many days has it been?”

“My menstruation is longer than others!”

Xia Houmo slightly strengthened his hands and took a deep breath before turning over and sitting up.

Just as Su Muge was about to exhale a sigh of relief, he leaned over towards her again and bit her ear. “I’ll let you go again. Next time, I’d like to see what excuse you have!”

“Your Royal Highness.” Donglin’s voice sounded outside the door at this time.

Xia Houmo stood up and went out.

Seeing that Xia Houmo had left, Su Muge simply remained lying on the couch while staring at the beam of the room absentmindedly.

“What’s the matter?”

Donglin was wearing a bad look. “Second Prince has already punished Vice-Commander Wang.”

The Vice-Commander Wang of the Imperial Guards was a trusted follower who had been raised and cultivated by Xia Houmo for so many years. Xia Houkun wanted to get rid of him as soon as he got the other half phoenix token. He was too anxious.

Xia Houmo’s expression was obscure.

“Let him go.” Xia Houmo would like to see what trouble he could make.

“Let them be low-profile and do not show up at this time.”

“Yes.”

In the backyard of the Jin Mansion, the sticks on the hands of two sturdy women fell down with a snap.

Liu Rumeng, who was lying on the bench, had a weak breath. And the dress on her back had been stained with bright red blood.

“Su Muge, if I survive, I will never let you go!”

“Forty-nine … Fifty!”

After the last time the stick fell down, Liu Rumeng, who was lying on the bench, had already been silent for a long time.

“Is she dead?”

They had done it according to the meaning of His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness without any mercy at all.

“Go to find a broken mat to roll her body up and throw it out.”

“Doesn’t His Royal Highness mean throwing her out of the mansion?”

“Even if she is not dead, she can’t live on like this. Find a carriage and throw her at an unmarked common grave.”

“Okay.”

…

After Xia Houkun got the phoenix token, he was very pretentious.

Anyone who was the follower of Xia Houmo before would be found out and punished by him with a random excuse. He just wanted to let these people know who would be their master in the future!

“Second Prince, someone from the injured barrack sent a message to ask how to deal with the wounded soldiers?” Xia Houkun’s trusted follower walked into the study to report.

Xia Houkun frowned. “Wounded soldiers? If they are ill, they will go to a military doctor for treatment. What else should they do?”

That trusted follower was a little bit awkward. “Your Royal Highness, those wounded soldiers got a strange disease. The King of Jin had taken a doctor to diagnose and treat them before, and one soldier with this disease had almost been cured. But, the doctor was the people of the King of Jin, and I don’t know where he is now… Therefore, the wounded soldiers in the injured barrack cannot be treated now.”

“Go to take my token and enter the palace to invite the best imperial doctor in the palace. I don’t believe that those imperial doctors have no way to cure the disease since the people of Xia Houmo can.”

“Yes, I’ll go right away.”

…

In the injured barrack.

There were more and more people with fever and diarrhea.

Xia Houkun’s trusted follower Han Yu invited the imperial doctor in the palace.

After taking the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, they still had no sign of getting better.

In just a few days, dozens of people died.

Han Yu was anxious at this time. He was afraid that these people would get the plague. The injured barrack was also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guards. Xia Houkun had just taken over the Imperial Guards recently. If there was a plague, he was afraid that he could no longer hold the phoenix token.

“Lord Han, three more people died today!”

Han Yu’s complexion was as dark as ink. “Pass my words on. From today, people in the injured barrack will no longer be allowed to leave the injured barrack. Anyone who dares to disobey my order will be punished according to martial law.”

“Yes.”

Han Yu did not dare to delay and hurriedly found Xia Houkun to report the situation.

Xia Houkun had just returned from the palace. The Prince of Xiliang Kingdom would soon reach to the capital, and Xia Hourui had ordered Xia Houkun to ensure the safety of the Prince of Xiliang Kingdom in the capital. When Han Yu was coming, Xia Houkun was about to order the imperial guards to be in a state of siege in the capital.

“Aren’t you in the injured barrack?”

Han Yu was wearing a sad look. “I can’t make a decision and could only ask you, Your Royal Highness.”

Xia Houkun sat down on the chair. “Tell me, what happened?”

“It’s still about the previous wounded soldiers. In fact, it can’t be said that they were injured or wounded. It is a disease. Many people have died these days, and the imperial doctor in the palace can do nothing with it.”

Xia Houkun put on a sullen face immediately. “Why did so many people die?”

“I’m incompetent, and the imperial doctor can’t cure… Every day, people are dying…”

“Useless things!” Xia Houkun got angry and pounded the table.

If something went wrong at this moment, he would just send the phoenix token to Xia Houmo in vain!

Xia Houkun was silent for a moment before saying: “Find a way to find the man taken to the injured barrack by Xia Houmo. And we must win him over by all means. As for the injured barrack… the news should be blocked first of all. We mustn’t let it be known by His Majesty!”
