World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 146 - Miss Liu

Chapter 146 Miss Liu

After Yueru and others went out, Su Muge sat on the bed and took off her clothes to reveal the wound on her back.

She couldn’t see the wound on her back. Now the scab on the wound had slowly come off, but she still felt some pain in her chest when she did chest-expanding exercise.

Su Muge looked at her palm. She hadn’t used her extraordinary talent for a long time.

She sat down with her back to the bronze mirror, took a dagger in her hand, and gently cut the scab open. Soon, there was blood flowing out of her wound.

Her extraordinary talent had a good effect on healing external wounds, but it was unknown whether it had a curative effect on internal wounds.

Su Muge endured the pain and put her palm above the wound.

In a while, she felt her palm slowly heating up and a force rushing into her wound.

Su Muge felt a little out of breath, but she gritted her teeth and endured the pain.

With sweat running down her forehead, her entire back was covered with sweat beads in a while. When she moved her hand away from her back, Su Muge had been entirely wet with sweat.

The wound that had just been cut open had already healed. She lifted her chest and found the previous pain completely disappeared.

Su Muge looked at her palm with a smile. It was so different to have an extraordinary talent!

Su Muge wiped the sweat on her body with a handkerchief and changed into a light dress, feeling much refresher than before.

It had stopped snowing outside, and the snow on the road had been swept away to prevent slipping.

“Yueru, let’s take a walk outside.”

“Your Grace, it’s too windy outside.”

“I’ll just put on more clothes. Since I haven’t shown up for so long, I have to let the people in Jin Mansion know my existence.”

Yueru wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t say anything to refute Su Muge.

After putting on a fox fur cloak and taking a hand warmer, Su Muge went out of the room.

As soon as she went out, Su Muge was hit by a cold wind and shuddered. She almost flinched and wanted to retract, but she gritted her teeth and continued to move forward.

Without any decoration in Jin Mansion, it was even more desolate and bleak now with endless snow.

Su Muge walked slowly on the bluestone paved road, getting familiar with the route and environment of the mansion.

On the way, they had met many bodyguards and servants, but few stepped forward to greet, while most of them just looked at her with curiosity. She was quite invisible in the mansion now.

After the trip around Jin Mansion, even Yueru, who had already changed her view of Jin Mansion, put on a sullen face. The people in Jin Mansion were too presumptuous!

Being tired of walking, Su Muge planned to take a rest at the warm room at the end of the corridor. However, as soon as they walked over, several maids came out with some pots of flowers.

“Be careful. If you bump them and His Royal Highness blames you, you’ll be doomed.” A mama dressed in a navy blue cotton robe ordered the maids to carry the flowers.

“Your Grace, could these flowers be prepared for you by His Royal Highness?” Since the winter in the capital was too cold, except for plum blossom, almost all other flowers would be dead now if they weren’t carefully cultivated in the warm room.

Xia Houmo was a prince of the royal family, so it was not a big deal to cultivate flowers in a warm room.

It was his thought that was rare.

“I’ll go and ask.” Xinlan was quick. Before Su Muge could stop her, she had stepped forward.

“Mama, where are these flowers to be delivered?”

The mama glanced at Xinlan. “Of course, to Miss Liu’s room.”

Hearing her words, Xinlan withdrew her smile on her face.

“Mama, I’m new here. I wonder who Miss Liu is. Could you please tell me?” While speaking, Xinlan stuffed a purse into her hand.

Only after checking the weight of the purse did the mama accept it with satisfaction.

“Who doesn’t know Miss Liu in Jin Mansion? She is the most cherished girl of His Royal Highness. Don’t provoke her when you serve in the mansion in the future; otherwise, you’ll be doomed.”

Hearing this, Xinlan clenched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand tightly and managed to put on a smile before she returned to Su Muge.

There was no change in the expression on Su Muge’s face. She just said gently, “I’m a little tired. Let’s go back.”

Xinlan stepped forward to support her. “Yes, Your Grace. Mind your step.”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows seeing Xinlan’s guilty look.

The mama’s voice was loud enough for her to hear. She might just want her to hear and raised her voice deliberately. However, it was not a big deal for Xia Houmo to have a woman in his backyard; otherwise, he would be suspected if he was impotent!

Su Muge ignored the discomfort in her heart and returned to her courtyard.

As soon as Su Muge returned to the yard, a maid came to report that Miss Liu was here asking to see her.

Xinlan put on a sullen face. “When the Rani was injured, she didn’t come to see her. What is she going to do now?”

Su Muge leaned on the couch lazily. “Since she’s here, let her in.”

“Yes.”

In a while, the curtain was lifted, and Xinlan led a woman wearing a white fox fur coat into the room.

Su Muge slightly raised her eyes and glanced at her.

With arched eyebrows, almond-like eyes, cherry lips, and a thin oval face, she was a gentle and beautiful girl. But she was a little pale and looked like a weak girl.

“Your Grace, pay my respects to you.”

“Miss Liu, no need to be over-courteous. Yueru, give a little stool to Miss Liu.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you, Your Grace.”

A maid stepped forward to help Liu Rumeng take off her cloak and helped her sit down on the stool.

“I wanted to come to greet Your Grace before, but His Royal Highness ordered that nobody could disturb you. So, I dared not to come here until now. Are you getting better, Your Grace?”

“I’ve been much better already. But, Miss Liu, I find you quite weak. You’d better not move around in such a cold day.”

Liu Rumeng coughed gently and looked at Su Muge softly with wet eyes. “Besides coming to greet you, I’m also here today to ask if you would like to put some delicate flowers in your yard. His Royal Highness has never loved those flowers and plants, but I love to put some energetic things in the yard to make it livelier. Therefore, His Royal Highness specially found a gardener to Jin Mansion to grow some flowers and plants in the warm room.” Liu Rumeng said with a slightly happy smile on her pale face.

But Yueru and others found her smile so harsh!

Su Muge sat upright, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip. She held the carved jade porcelain cup in her hand and rotated it gently while watching the rotating tea leaves in the cup with a smile.

“I’m not interested in those flowers and plants. Miss Liu, just keep it yourself.”

“If so, please just ignore my words, Your Grace. I’ve made some medicine bags for His Royal Highness to soak his feet. His Royal Highness’s right ankle has been injured before and will tingle every winter. It will be a lot more comfortable for him to soak his feet with the medicine before going to bed every night.”

As Miss Liu was speaking, she let the maid behind her step forward with a tray of a dozen medicine bags neatly placed on it.

“Miss Liu, you are so considerate.” Su Muge kept her countenance.

“So, I won’t disturb you, Your Grace. Please excuse my departure.” Seeing no difference in Su Muge’s expression, Liu Rumeng left after a while.

Xinlan glared at her back, walked into the room, and smelled the medicine bags. “Your Grace, what should we do with these medicine bags?”

Su Muge opened a medicine bag and found most of the herbs were used for dispelling coldness and keeping warm. “She sent them to His Royal Highness, so we should certainly keep them for His Royal Highness.”

“Is she better at dispensing medicine than Your Grace? It’s so ridiculous for her to show off in front of you.”

Su Muge smiled. “It’s her goodwill after all.”

On the other side, after Liu Rumeng left Su Muge’s courtyard, her maid little Xue who was holding her looked around and whispered, “Miss, what kind of temperament do you think the Rani has?”

Liu Rumeng gathered her cloak and looked at the snowy ground with a gentle frown.

“What do you say?”

“I think she is not easy to get along. Miss, you should hold on to His Royal Highness, since he is the only person who could protect you. Even if she is the Rani, she can’t disobey His Royal Highness after all.”

Liu Rumeng pursed her pale lips slightly. “I just want to be with His Royal Highness in my life... If she can’t tolerate me ... I won’t let her take control of me!”

At night, when Su Muge was about to go to sleep after bathing, Xia Houmo came back.

Su Muge who was only wearing underpants subconsciously hid her body in the quilt. As she turned around, she saw Xia Houmo walking in with cold air.

“Your Royal Highness, you’re back.”

Xia Houmo took off his cloak and threw it on the screen. After cleaning his hands in the wooden basin, he strode to the bed and held her in his arms.

“Oh.” Su Muge whispered and shivered after feeling the coldness in his body.

“Have you had dinner, Your Royal Highness?”

“No.”

Xia Houmo was originally to stay in the camp on the outskirts of the city tonight, but when night fell, he couldn’t help thinking of Su Muge’s bright eyes, so, he came back before the city gate was closed.

“Yueru, go to the small kitchen and bring a bowl of wontons in.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge was held like a puppet; she twisted her body to break free from Xia Houmo’s arms and got out of bed.

“Your Royal Highness, Miss Liu sent you something today.”

Hearing that, Xia Houmo kept his countenance.

“You keep it.”

“Your Royal Highness, aren’t you curious about what it is?”

“No.” Xia Houmo stood up, held her up, and put her back into the quilt.

“I have something to tell you.”

Seeing his solemn look, Su Muge sat up straight and listened to him carefully. “Yes, Your Royal Highness?”
