World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 159 His Royal Highness Was Interested in Men

There were no buildings in the injured barrack except for the tents that were set up.

The wounded soldiers were all placed in a large tent in the back.

“Your Royal Highness, here we are.”

The vice general stopped at a tent.

Xia Houmo led Su Muge in. The tent was very large, containing at least twenty flat wooden beds.

Seeing someone coming in, the soldiers in the tent got up quickly.

“Hurry to greet His Royal Highness.” The vice general followed in and reminded the soldiers since not everyone was lucky enough to meet Xia Houmo.

“Your Royal Highness, pay my respects to you.” As soon as the wounded soldiers heard that Xia Houmo came here, they bowed in surprise one after another to salute.

“You are injured. Don’t be over-courteous. Get up.”

“Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

“His Royal Highness knows that you are injured and has specially delivered medicine to everyone.”

Xia Houmo glanced at Donglin who knowingly ordered to carry the medicines in.

Su Muge gritted her teeth and got rid of Xia Houmo’s hand, “Your Royal Highness, please let me show them what medicine they should use.”

Xia Houmo put on a cold look; he didn’t want Su Muge to touch so many men!

Su Muge quickly stepped forward to let the soldiers sit down.

However, before Xia Houmo made an order, the wounded soldiers dared not to sit. They wondered who this handsome man was who seemed to be familiar with His Royal Highness!

Seeing the wounded soldiers not cooperating, Su Muge gave Xia Houmo a helpless look.

Xia Houmo glanced at the wounded soldiers coldly before speaking lightly. “Sit down.”

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Su Muge approached the wounded in order.

Most of the wounded suffered from skin traumas, and two of them had slightly injured bones.

Su Muge opened the box, put on the gloves, and took out a few bottles of medicine.

“I need water to clean the wound.”

Seeing that Xia Houmo didn’t say anything, the vice general immediately asked to bring the water in.

Su Muge cleaned their wounds lightly and bandaged them.

“How does this medicine feel?”

“When the medicine is applied, it feels refreshing and cool, and the wound is not as painful as before.” Moreover, this handsome young man was very gentle while handling the wounds and bandaging, who was much better than a military doctor! However, he secretly glanced at His Royal Highness who was wearing a scary look when the young man was dressing their wounds!

“The traumatic wounds will generally scab in about seven days, but with this medicine, the scabbing process can be completed at least two days in advance. Of course, the premise is that the wound is not infected. You’d better not make the wound wet these days. In case that you have touched the water, you must change the dressing for the wound in time.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge came to the two wounded soldiers with broken bones, but their bones were not seriously broken but just cracked.

“After applying this medicine to your wounds, you should pay attention to this injured hand to avoid secondary injury.”

Su Muge opened another porcelain bottle and applied the medicine to the wound.

At first, the wounded hadn’t much feeling, but it didn’t take long before he felt his broken bones burning uncomfortably.

“Hold on. Don’t scratch your hands. If you can’t stand it, just blow your wound. This feeling will disappear after a quarter of an hour. Apply this medicine to your wounds three times a day. According to your condition, you can recover completely in ten days.”

“Thanks, thank you very much.”

After finishing her work, Su Muge turned to Xia Houmo. “Your Royal Highness, let’s go to the next tent.”

Xia Houmo nodded with a stern look.

“Donglin, call two military doctors here.” Just as they got out of the tent, Xia Houmo said.

Su Muge didn’t object to it. It would be more efficient if someone could help her.

The wounded in the next tent had a fever or a headache. Su Muge put on a mask and stopped Xia Houmo who was about to enter.

“Your Royal Highness, please just wait outside. The disease inside is highly infectious.”

“No problem.” Xia Houmo didn’t take it seriously, thinking that it was just a headache and a fever.

But Su Muge stood firmly outside the tent without moving.

“I can’t rest assured. Your Royal Highness, you’d better wait outside.”

“Are you worried about me?” Xia Houmo looked down at her. The previous coldness in his eyes had long gone, and there was only a warm light.

He was not stupid. He could feel that there was still something between Su Muge and him to prevent them from getting closer. He had always wanted to break it through, but this little woman was like a wild cat; as long as he went a step further, she seemed to feel dangerous and stepped back without hesitation. The faster he chased her, the faster she escaped!

The vice general and others all lowered their heads one by one, pretending to be deaf and have heard nothing!

His Royal Highness... Was His Royal Highness really interested in men now? They had been with His Royal Highness for so many years, but they had never seen him talk to anyone like this!

It was just...too scary!

Su Muge felt the weird atmosphere around her and kept telling herself that they didn’t know who she was anyway!

“Yes, of course, I’m worried about Your Royal Highness!” Su Muge gritted her teeth.

Hearing what he wanted to hear, Xia Houmo raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.

“Well, I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

“Okay.”

The two military doctors also arrived and entered the tent with Su Muge.

As soon as they walked in, Su Muge felt a pungent smell in the large tent.

Although everywhere had been wrapped up in winter and it was normal to have a little odor, the smell in the tent was a little bit like the smell of rotten corpses.

Su Muge glanced in the tent, which was different from the first one. The people in this tent were all lying on the wooden beds, and no one noticed when they came in.

“Open the window a little bit to ventilate the tent. The smell here is too intolerable.”

“Yes.” A military doctor rolled up the curtain of the tent slightly.

“What’s wrong with the people here?”

These two military doctors happened to be responsible for the patients in this tent. Hearing Su Muge’s question, they hurriedly replied, “They all have a fever and a cough.”

They should not be called the wounded but patients. They were sent here after getting sick.

“Fever?”

Su Muge took off her gloves and reached out to touch the forehead of one of the patients. It was hot indeed. Then she checked his mouth. Judging from the condition of his tongue, it was indeed like a fever.

After checking the conditions of several soldiers in succession, she found that they showed similar symptoms.

“When were these patients sent here?”

“Four to five days ago. They are all imperial guards.”

“What have they eaten these days?”

“People with a fever should eat light things, so they have been drinking rice porridge these days.”

It was strange. If they had eaten light things, the smell in their mouth should be the smell of fermented medicine instead of a heavy rancid smell.

“In addition to the symptoms of fever and cough, are there any other abnormalities?”

The two doctors thought for a while and shook their heads. “We haven’t found anything wrong.”

Su Muge looked at the prescriptions written by the military doctors and then added a few more viricidal medicines.

“Let them take this medicine for a day. If their symptoms have not shown any signs of improvement at this time tomorrow, inform His Royal Highness immediately.”

Seeing her serious look, the two military doctors instantly felt that they hadn’t fulfilled their duties. This young man seemed to have a good relationship with His Royal Highness. If he said anything about their dereliction of duty in front of His Royal Highness...

Thinking this in their mind, both the military doctors took the prescription very seriously.

“Master, rest assured, we’ll take good care of them.”

“Okay.”

Su Muge took out a red porcelain bottle from the box, poured out the pills, and fed one to each patient.

“Pay attention to ventilating the tent these days. If they are afraid of the coldness, add more charcoal braziers inside the tent.”

“Yes.”

After Su Muge walked out of the tent, she took a deep breath of the fresh air outside!

As soon as she went out, she saw Xia Houmo standing outside with his hands at his back.

She had to admit that this man was really tall. For a moment, Su Muge suddenly felt that she would not feel afraid of anything as long as she was with him.

Hearing the movement behind him, Xia Houmo turned around.

“Your Royal Highness.”

At the sight of her, Xia Houmo reached out to wrap her little hands in his big palms.

“Finished?”

Feeling his warm hands, Su Muge raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

“Yes, but the patients in this tent are a little bit strange. I’ve made the military doctors pay more attention to them. If there is an accident, they will tell you immediately.”

“Strange?”

“Yes.” Su Muge described the conditions of the patients roughly to Xia Houmo.

“We’d better quarantine the people in this tent temporarily, but we should carry it out quietly to avoid panic.”

Xia Houmo looked back at the vice general behind him. “Got it?”

“Yes, I see.”

And then, Su Muge went to the rest two tents. Fortunately, the illnesses of the patients in these two tents were more common, so it didn’t cost her much time.

“I’ll leave these medicines here. I still have confidence in myself.”

After the medicines took effect in a few days, she could continue to make the second batch of medicines.

Xia Houmo led her out of the injured barrack and the two got into the carriage.

The outskirts of the city were really cold. Moreover, the snow was melting now, making the temperature even lower.

As soon as they got into the carriage, Su Muge was embraced by Xia Houmo.

Su Muge was surprised that Xia Houmo’s hands were still as fiery as fire after he had been standing outside for so long.

“How is Qingyu?”

“I’ve cleared up the toxins in his body completely. As long as he cooperates with my treatment, he will recover within half a month.”

Xia Houmo caressed her hair and dropped a gentle kiss on her forehead.

“The Emperor’s mother’s birthday is coming soon. I’ve prepared a birthday present for her.”

The Emperor’s mother’s birthday?

At the thought of that old woman, Su Muge couldn’t have any good feelings for her.

“Your Royal Highness, you are so thoughtful.” She should have been responsible for such kind of work.

“The Prince of Xiliang Kingdom and the messengers of the East Qi will come to congratulate the Emperor’s mother’s birthday. Therefore, the capital will be strictly guarded these days. Don’t leave the mansion casually.”
