Chapter 85 Retaliation
Su Muge followed the ssenger maid in the villa illuminated by the lantern. Jing’an Palace was the Emperor’s chamber in the villa. Could it be that Xia Hourui was unwell again?
“Sister, I wonder why the Emperor asked to co over at this ti. What happened to him?” While talking, Su Muge stuffed a pocket of money into the maid’s hand.
Seeing this, the maid replied to her smilingly, “Miss Su, Second Prince was injured for the protection of the Emperor, and the Emperor was very anxious. But Second Prince was injured so seriously that the imperial doctors could do nothing about it. The Emperor heard that you have returned safely and asked you for help.”
Xia Hourui ant to let her save Xia Houkun!
Shit!
Xia Houyin had almost killed her, and now she was asked to treat Xia Houkun. Did they really think her a pushover!?
The maid led Su Muge to Jing’an Palace and a eunuch stepped forward to lead her in.
“Your Majesty, Miss Su is here.”
“Hurry, let her in!” Xia Hourui said in a hoarse voice.
Su Muge walked into the room quickly. Before Xia Hourui could open his mouth, Su Muge knelt down and choked with sobs and anger, “Your Majesty, please uphold justice for !”
Xia Hourui, who was about to speak, was confused by Su Muge.
He heard from Eunuch Yi that she had t a beast on the won’s hunting field, so he thought that she should have been scared.
Xia Hourui’s original anxiety was suddenly alleviated by Su Muge. “What are you doing? What justice do you want to do for you?”
Su Muge knelt on the ground and replied with a choking but resounding voice. “Your Majesty, I have no resentnt with Eighth Princess, but I don’t know why she wanted to kill . I went hunting in the hunting field on Eighth Princess’s invitation. However, Eighth Princess stabbed my horse and abandoned in the hunting field. Afterward, so n suddenly appeared in the woods and caught . If it had not been for the King of Jin, I would have been dead now.”
Jing’an Palace was terribly quiet, echoing Su Muge’s resounding cry.
Xia Hourui darkened his face, full of anger.
“Su Muge, what nonsense are you talking about? How dare you defa in front of the father?! How dare you?!” Xia Houyin rushed in from outside and reproached Su Muge angrily.
“Father, don’t listen to her nonsense. Why would I harm her for no reason?”
Xia Hourui said with an obscure expression. “Why would she slander you for no reason?”
Xia Houyin looked at Xia Hourui in shock. “I... Maybe she had so grudges with before, so she frad up.”
Xia Hourui made no comnt and looked at Su Muge, “Su Muge, you said Eighth Princess hurt you. Do you have evidence?”
“Yeah, you said I hurt you. Do you have evidence?” Xia Houyin rolled her eyes; she had let those n leave imdiately, and Su Muge had no way to catch them back!
“Your Majesty, the King of Jin sent a ssage that a few suspicious n were caught outside the villa. Those n claid to be followers of Eighth Princess.”
“Eighth Princess?” Xia Hourui questioned in a lower voice.
“Yes.”
Hearing this, Xia Houyin felt nervous suddenly. How could it be so coincident? She had already let those n leave. How could they co to the villa again!?
Su Muge kneeling on the ground was also puzzled. It was really a tily rain.
“Bring them to .”
“Yes.”
A few monts later, several young n were taken into the palace.
With great fear on their faces, they didn’t notice Su Muge kneeling on the ground for a while. Instead, seeing Xia Houyin standing aside, they cried and begged, “Eighth Princess, help, help us ...”
A trace of panic flashed across Xia Houyin’s face. “Who are you? I don’t know you at all!”
“Kneel!” The imperial guards pressed them to kneel on the ground.
Xia Hourui stood up with his hands on his back and looked at them from the eminence.
“Who are you?”
At the sight of the dragon robe on Xia Hourui, these n were so scared that they even dared not to speak. They shivered and so were so timid that they even cried out in fright.
“Your Majesty, please spare our lives. We really don’t know anything ...”
Xia Houyin was afraid that they would reveal her deeds and hurriedly interrupted him, “The Emperor is asking who you are and why you appear outside the villa!”
Hearing Xia Houyin’s words, they ca to their senses.
“Your Majesty, we are from the capital. So ti ago we heard that Your Majesty was going to hunt at this hunting field. We’ve always been so admiring Your Majesty that we are eager to take a secret look at your divine face outside the villa. If we have offended Your Majesty, we ask for your forgiveness.”
Seeing that their reaction was fairly quick, Xia Houyin secretly exhaled a sigh of relief. Su Muge, you could never drag down!
After one of them made a statent, the others would certainly echo with him. “Yes, Your Majesty, we’ve known our mistakes. Please forgive us, Your Majesty.”
Su Muge who had been lowering her head and kneeling aside revealed a mocking sneer on the corner of her lips.
Their response was quick, but ... it was not so easy to be let go!
When she looked up, she had been already full of panic. “You, you, it’s you! Help, Your Majesty! Help! ...”
Su Muge escaped away and moved towards Xia Hourui with a terrified expression; her horror looked so real.
Those young n were shocked for a while; seeing Su Muge’s appearance, they were all scared to death.
“Ghost! Ghost!”
The palace turned chaotic.
Xia Hourui’s forehead beca veined.
Eunuch Yi raised his eyebrows. “Presumptuous! Catch these offenders!”
The imperial guards suddenly reacted to catch those n.
“Your Majesty, it’s them, it’s them who caught in the forest and intended to push down the cliffs to kill !” Su Muge pointed at those n with red eyes.
Several n realized that Su Muge was alive and wanted to argue, but Xia Hourui didn’t intend to give them this opportunity.
“Take them to Jing Zhaoyin. I believe he knows what to do!”
“Yes.”
“Your Majesty, spare our lives! Your Majesty, spare our lives!”
The imperial guards blocked their mouths with rags and dragged them out.
Xia Houyin stood there embarrassedly. “Father, I’m going to see second brother.”
“Wait!”
Xia Houyin’s face turned pale. “Father ...”
Xia Hourui narrowed his eyes sternly.
“Co on! Send Eighth Princess back to her palace imdiately. Without my permission, she’s not allowed to leave her palace!”
Xia Houyin was to be grounded.
“Father, why? What mistake did I make?”
“Aren’t you clearer than ?”
Two mamas walked in and carried Xia Houyin out. When they were about to go out of the palace, Xia Houyin turned back and gave a malicious stare at Su Muge.
Su Muge, let’s wait and see!
Su Muge was very dissatisfied with Xia Hourui’s superficial punishnt, although she knew that it was unlikely for Xia Hourui to punish Xia Houyin severely.
“Thank you for upholding justice for , Your Majesty.”
Xia Hourui snorted gently. “Now, can you go in and treat Second Prince?”
Su Muge wiped the tears on the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, thinking that acting was really tiring.
She walked into the inner room with Xia Hourui and saw Concubine Qin sitting in front of the bed with red and tearful eyes.
She had obviously heard the movents outside just now, but she didn’t go out to plead for Xia Houyin. What did it an? It ant that she knew this matter or she made Xia Houyin do it!
She was clearer that Xia Hourui wouldn’t do anything to Xia Houyin for the sake of an official’s daughter, so she just pretended to be ignorant and stayed by Xia Houkun’s side.
“Your Majesty...”
Xia Hourui walked over, took her hands and hugged her gently into his arms.
“Don’t be sad. I won’t let anything happen to Kun’er. Su Muge, go and see Second Prince.”
“Yes.”
Su Muge walked to the bed. Xia Houkun was lying on his stomach in the bed, wrapped in gauze, but at this ti the gauze had already been wetted with blood.
“The imperial doctors can’t stop the bleeding on the Second Prince. Can you help?”
Su Muge asked to bring her dical kit to her and cut the gauze on Xia Houkun’s body with disinfected scissors.
In an instant, a bloody sll mixed with heat and dicine rushed into her nose.
The imperial doctors had given Xia Houkun dicine, but it didn’t work. He was still bleeding.
Xia Houkun’s wound had almost covered half of his back. His right scapula was almost visible.
Such a wound must be sutured; otherwise, it would be difficult to heal.
The reason why he kept bleeding might be that his main blood vessel had been hurt.
Seeing Su Muge standing there and doing nothing, Concubine Qin was afraid that she was unwilling to treat Second Prince even if she could cure him because of hatred!
“Miss Su, I heard that your mother had also been frightened in the woods. I wonder how she is now.”
Su Muge paused for a while and replied with a poker face, “Thank you for your care, Concubine Qin. My mother is all right.”
“That’s good. It’s so dangerous. You have to be careful next ti; you may not be so lucky if such accidents happen again.”
Su Muge suddenly clenched the scissors in her hand tightly; Concubine Qin was threatening her!
So Zhao’s accident was also associated with her!
Su Muge took a deep breath and cald down the anger in her heart. “Concubine Qin, you’re right.”
Concubine Qin thought Su Muge had already understood what she ant and stopped talking.
“Su Muge, could you cure Second Prince?” Xia Hourui said in due course.
Su Muge glanced at the wound on Xia Houkun’s back. Although this wound looked scary, it was not so difficult for her.
“Your Majesty, I’m willing to give it a try, but ...”
Xia Hourui frowned. “But what?”
“But I need sothing offered by Concubine Qin.”
Concubine Qin frowned. “What do you need?”
“Second Prince is seriously injured and has lost too much blood. If he goes on bleeding like this, he may have a mortal danger. Concubine Qin, you are his closely connected mother, so I need so of your blood.”
“What?”
