CHAPTER 395 (1): DON'T RANDOMLY RUB AGAINST
Translation: Rakumon
“Don’t worry, Imperial Physician Zhao; I will inform Prince Hao.”
“This humble subject will take my leave then.” Imperial Physician Zhao bowed and took out so dicine from his dical box, placing them on the table. “Simr this dicine for Tan Ge. Her injury will be fine after drinking it.”
“Alright, thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician Zhao.” Su Xi-er took the packet of dicine, preparing to head to the boiler room and hand it to the palace maid waiting upon Tan Ge.
Imperial Physician Zhao then turned to leave the main hall, heading out of the Imperial Library.
Before Su Xi-er reached the boiler room, she saw the palace maid walking out with a bowl of red bean soup. Aware of Su Xi-er’s status, she deferentially bowed and greeted, “Miss Xi-er.”
“How’s Tan Ge doing?”
The palace maid shook her head. “Her recovery isn’t going well. She’s feeling weak all over, and her complexion looks unhealthy. When I asked her today, she said that her wound still hurts. Her body was originally weak, so it’s already quite a feat for her to survive after getting shot by an arrow.”
“Simr this dicine and prepare it for Tan Ge to drink tomorrow. I will bring the red bean soup to her.” Su Xi-er passed the packet of dicine to the palace maid with one hand, taking the bowl of red bean soup with the other.
The palace maid took the packet of dicine and went back inside the boiler room, leaving Su Xi-er to bring the bowl of red bean soup to Tan Ge’s room.
When Su Xi-er entered the room, Tan Ge was still awake. Thinking that it was the palace maid returning, Tan Ge said, “Just leave it there for now. I’m unable to drink it at the mont.”
“It’s cold outside, so it’d be better to drink it while it’s hot.”
Su Xi-er’s voice sent shivers down Tan Ge’s spine. She imdiately supported herself against the bed, trying to get up.
“Don’t move, I’ll help you up.” Su Xi-er set the bowl down before going to help Tan Ge sit up.
“Why did you co back to the Imperial Library? It’s not safe here. What if soone tries to harm you again...” Tan Ge pursed her pallid lips as she looked at Su Xi-er in worry.
“Grand Tutor Kong doesn’t have an estate, so the Imperial Library is his ho. As his goddaughter, I have to marry from the Imperial Library.” Su Xi-er properly tucked Tan Ge under the quilt before standing up and bringing the red bean soup over.
“Open your mouth.” Su Xi-er blew on the soup and fed it to Tan Ge.
Watching Su Xi-er’s earnest appearance, Tan Ge was slightly moved. Su Xi-er is so nice to . Does she really not suspect at all?
“Su Xi-er, what did Imperial Physician Zhao talk to you about?” Tan Ge softly asked.
“Chao Mu’s death,” Su Xi-er faintly replied.
A trace of agony erged in Tan Ge’s eyes. “It’s all because of Commandery Prince Xie, but he’s so powerful. How can we make him pay for killing Chao Mu?”
“We’ll consider this matter over and done with. Tan Ge, you should leave the imperial palace, and flee to a faraway place. That way, you’ll be able to break free of Commandery Prince Xie.” Su Xi-er didn’t tell her that not pursuing Chao Mu’s death was only temporary.
