World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 164 Habit Is a Terrible Thing

Su Muge felt a little amused.

“You’re alive or I’m dead.”

Fang Shanquan was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted with a smile on his face. “Yeah, I forget... Ouch!” He smiled so hard that he touched the wound on his belly and frowned in pain.

“Don’t move. Be careful not to tear the wound.”

“I, I won’t move, I won’t move...” Fang Shanquan hurriedly and obediently lay down and kept motionless.

Su Muge took out two bottles of medicine from her medical kit.

“Take the medicine in these two bottles three times a day for seven days and one pill for each type.”

The military doctor stepped forward to take over the medicine and bowed to respond.

“Doctor, did you really open my belly?”

“Yes, I also cut out your necrotic intestines. Would you like to see it?”

As soon as the two military doctors heard it, they were scared and wanted to run away!

“My, my intestines? You, you cut my intestines?” Fang Shanquan was shocked.

Su Muge nodded. “The intestine has already been necrotic. If I don’t cut it out, you may not be able to keep your life in the future.”

“Then, can I live without the necrotic intestines?” In their mind, every part of the body was indispensable.

“Aren’t you living well now? Well, have a good rest and I’ll have to leave now.” She must hurry back to the mansion to find out the situation.

“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

Su Muge walked out of the tent, and Vice General Zhang was waiting outside.

Su Muge looked around and found Xia Houmo missing.

“I wonder how to call you, Master?” Xia Houmo had specifically ordered him to listen to Su Muge before leaving.

“My last name is Su.”

“Oh, it turns out to be Master Su. His Royal Highness left two hours ago. If you are going back to the capital, I’ll send people to prepare a carriage for you, Master Su.”

“Okay.”

“Yes.”

As soon as Vice General Zhang left, Donglin came.

“Your Grace.”

“Well, where did His Royal Highness go?”

“His Royal Highness went to Wuzhen that is thirty miles away and said that he would be back before dark.”

Su Muge nodded without asking what Xia Houmo was doing.

“Let’s go back.”

“Yes.”

In an exquisite house in Wuzhen.

Xia Houmo in a black robe sat opposite a man in a dark red robe in the pavilion in the courtyard.

The man dropped the black piece in his hand and gave Xia Houmo a rather proud look.

“My dear nephew, I will win!”

Xia Houmo kept his countenance and threw the white piece back into the tray. “Uncle, you won.”

Seeing this, King Nanyang shouted with dissatisfaction. “You haven’t made a move yet. Your uncle is a gentleman. Don’t make others think I’m bullying you. Make a move. I want you to be sincerely convinced.”

Xia Houmo picked up a white piece and threw it casually on the board.

King Nanyang’s smiling face suddenly became stiff. The originally settled situation was instantly reversed and there was no room for another reversal! “This, this is wrong! You can’t be like this! You throw it at will. You have to make another move. It doesn’t count.”

Zuo Wei couldn’t bear to see it and looked away. King Nanyang was a famous bad Go player. Whoever played Go with him would get angry with him... His Royal Highness was really patient with him.

It was getting dark and the cold wind started blowing.

“Let’s stop here.” Xia Houmo stood up and walked into the room.

King Nanyang was annoyed and swept the Go board to the ground with anger. “Well! Let’s stop!”

With a warm breeze in the room, King Nanyang took off his cloak and threw it aside. He took a sip of the tea delivered by his maid and said with a satisfied smile: “Well, the tea of Shangyun prefecture is the best. I’ve brought a lot here this time. Take some back when you go home.”

Xia Houmo picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

“Uncle, you are supposed to arrive in the capital ten days later?”

On the Emperor’s mother’s birthday, King Nanyang Xia Houqing would, of course, go to congratulate his mother.

King Nanyang told Xia Hourui in his letter that he would arrive ten days later, but he had been in Wuzhen now, which was only thirty miles away from the capital.

King Nanyang was titled at almost the same time as King Dingxi. Unlike King Dingxi, King Nanyang had been low-key since he was a prince.

He had no strong maternal power or outstanding talent to be appreciated by his father; he even had the most mediocre appearance. As a result, his conditions were actually better than King Dingxi; the fiefdom assigned to him was not far away from the capital and was quite rich.

“Why are you still as annoying as before? Can’t you say something I like to hear?”

Xia Houmo put down the cup in his hand. “What do you want from me, uncle?”

“I can’t see you if I have nothing to do with you? I have hugged you when you were a kid anyway. How could you be so ungrateful?”

Xia Houmo patted his sleeves and stood up. “If there is nothing else, please excuse my departure, uncle.”

“Eh? You are really leaving?”

Xia Houmo paused slightly. “Uncle, do you have anything else?”

King Nanyang pursed his lips and stroked his beard on his face. “I heard that Xia Housheng ran away?”

Xia Houmo glanced sideways at him. “When did you start to care so much about the court?”

King Nanyang snorted and waved his sleeves, saying, “I have had several fights with him. If he is dead, let me know. I’ll secretly bury him.”

Xia Houmo didn’t answer, turned around, and walked out of the room.

“Hurry to bring a bag of tea. Haven’t seen my guest is leaving?”

Before King Nanyang could finish his words, Xia Houmo had disappeared in the courtyard.

The maid almost cried out. “Your Royal Highness, the guest, the guest is gone.”

King Nanyang blew his beard and sat on his chair. “Fine, I’ll find someone else to play Go with me. Humph.”

On the other side, after returning to Jin Mansion, Su Muge found Guima and told him about the situation.

“This is the intestines I have cut off. Oh, by the way, I’ve brought a corpse back and put it in your room.”

Guima looked at the black intestines in the porcelain plate and wished to put them into Su Muge’s mouth.

“Why don’t you put the corpse in your room?!” He stared at her and gritted his teeth.

Su Muge paused. “I’ve really thought about it. But I’m afraid that His Royal Highness would disagree.”

Yueru and others lowered their heads silently, pretending to have heard nothing.

“You!” Don’t think I’ll be afraid of you due to Xia Houmo!

Guima snorted, grabbed her medical kit, and turned away.

“Let’s wait and see!”

Feeling a little tired, Su Muge leaned on the chair and asked Yueru to rub her shoulders.

“Your Grace, it’s getting late. Are you hungry? Would you like to have dinner now?”

Su Muge nodded with her eyes closed. “Okay, bring it up. I’m a little hungry.”

She rubbed her face and found her face much plumper.

She was lean, and her fat consumption was faster than ordinary people, so it was not easy for her to become fat.

The dinner was served — five dishes and one soup, two of which were Xia Houmo’s favorite dishes.

She had been having meals with him during this time. And now, she was actually feeling a bit lonely to have dinner alone. The habit was indeed the most terrible thing in this world.

After having dinner and sitting alone for a while, Su Muge asked Yueru to prepare hot water for her to soak her feet before going to bed.

She didn’t know where Xia Houmo had gone and he hadn’t returned yet.

Unexpectedly, as she was about to go to bed after changing into clean underwear, Jin Mansion was surrounded by a group of troops.

The headed Xia Houkun sat on the horse, squinting at Jin Mansion in front of him.

“Get in and search!”

Seeing this, the guards outside the gate of Jin Mansion stepped forward to stop them.

“Who dares to break into Jin Mansion?!”

Xia Houkun sneered. “Who? Someone intends to assassinate the Emperor tonight. The Emperor ordered to search all the mansions. If you don’t cooperate with us, you are resisting the imperial edict!”

The guards of Jin Mansion glanced at each other.

“Hurry to report it.”

“Okay.”

A guard hurriedly ran into the mansion.

Xia Houkun chuckled. “It’s useless to tell anyone! Get in and search!”

With Xia Houkun’s order, the imperial guards behind him rushed forward.

There were only a few guards outside Jin Mansion, so they were not their opponents at all. Soon, the imperial guards broke into the mansion.

The secret guards of Jin Mansion had always been protecting the mansion secretly; they could not appear casually without an order.

Secret guard A, “These people are so bold! How dare they break into Jin Mansion so arrogantly?!”

Secret guard B, “I really want to kill them!”

Secret guard C, “I’ve sent a message to His Royal Highness.”

In Bamboo Courtyard.

Just as Su Muge lay down, she was called up.

“Your Grace, Second Prince has surrounded the mansion with imperial guards, saying to search for the assassins who wanted to assassinate the Emperor.” Yueru entered the room and said with a stern look.

“Search assassins?” As she was saying, Xinche helped her dress up.

“Yes, it is said that they have come in now.”

“How dare them! Where are they now?”

“Second Prince is already waiting in the front hall.”

Su Muge asked Yueru to comb a round bun behind her head.

“Yueru, stay in Bamboo Courtyard and guard our people and staff.”

“Yes.”

When Su Muge reached the front hall, Xia Houkun was sitting inside and playing with a mutton-fat jade ring.

“The Rani of Jin arrives.” The maid announced.

Xia Houkun looked up at Su Muge with a mysterious smile on his face.

“Miss Su... No, I should call you ninth sister-in-law now. Ninth sister-in-law, nice to see you again.”

Su Muge calmly walked to the chair and sat down before taking the tea from a maid.

“Second brother, your sudden visit so late at night is so unexpected.”

“I can’t disobey the Emperor’s order.”

“Oh? I wonder what the Emperor’s order is that makes you take so many people to search in Jin Mansion at midnight.”

Xia Houkun looked at her with a faint smile. “The Emperor was nearly assassinated. The assassin has escaped and is seen to have run in this direction. I’m afraid that the assassin will attack again, so I have to search in the mansion. Please don’t mind, ninth sister-in-law.”
