World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess
Chapter 115 - Night Hijack
Chapter 115 Night Hijack
Zhao was startled and looked at Su Muge in surprise.
“What are you talking about? Leave? Where can we go? Stop talking about this in the future. If your father hears it, I’m afraid he will be angry.”
Su Muge smiled noncommittally and changed the topic.
“Haitang is going to be raised as a concubine by your grandmother.” Zhao suddenly said. She didn’t want Su Muge to know this, but she thought she had grown up and should learn to deal with it if her husband wanted to take a concubine in the future.
Su Muge was not surprised by this result. According to Old Lady Su’s attitude towards Haitang, she wouldn’t let her be an inferior concubine. However, whether she was superior or inferior, she was a concubine after all.
“Okay.”
“She seems to be a good girl, but she also has her scheme.”
Without a scheme, she wouldn’t have followed Old Lady Su to the capital. If she wanted to stay here, she would have to take some measures.
Su Muge returned to her room. Since she had slept too long before, she was full of energy now and couldn’t sleep at all.
“You may retreat and rest. I’ll read a book before going to sleep.”
Su Muge didn’t like to be guarded when she was sleeping, which Yueru knew well.
“If there is anything we can do for you, just call us.”
“Okay.”
Su Muge took out a medical book and read it carefully.
Time was passing quietly.
Suddenly a night wind blew, making the candlelight in the room sway gently, thus she couldn’t continue reading the book.
After rubbing her eyebrows, Su Muge closed the medical book and prepared to sleep.
However, the instant she stood up, a sharp sword appeared within an inch away from her throat.
Su Muge looked at the masked man in front of her. “King Dingxi sent you here?”
The man in black was slightly surprised; he didn’t expect Su Muge would say so.
“Since you know it, follow me obediently.”
“To where?”
“Where you should go.”
“To treat King Dingxi’s eldest son? Make it clear, so I can decide whether to carry my medical kit.”
The man in black was stunned again. “Take it.”
Su Muge put on her robe, turned to open her medical kit, took out several porcelain bottles from the drawer, and put them in.
“Let’s go.”
Seeing her calm appearance, the man in black was amazed; she seemed to be a doctor ready to visit a patient at any time.
The man in black took out a silk ribbon and tied it around Su Muge’s waist. Then he took her to fly away from Su Mansion.
Su Muge was forced to experience a flight with light skills at night. To be honest, she didn’t feel very good.
The man in black took her to a very remote private house.
The house was dark. The man in black walked to a room and knocked at the door. After a while, someone opened the door and glanced at Su Muge behind him.
“Blindfold her.”
“Okay.”
The next moment, Su Muge was blindfolded.
The man in black pulled the silk ribbon around her waist and walked her in. Hearing the sounds of “click”, she was aware of the secret tunnels.
“Mind the steps.”
Sure enough, after Su Muge walked in, she felt a cold wind and the temperature was much lower.
After walking for more than a quarter, the man in black stopped and the blindfold was pulled off her face.
Seeing a door in front of her, she was standing in a courtyard, which was very similar to the yard which she just arrived.
“Your Royal Highness, she’s here.”
The room was flickering with yellowish light inside. In a while, the door was opened and King Dingxi came out.
“Miss Su, you have won one game. Whether you can win the next game depends on your capability. Come in.”
Su Muge understood the meaning of King Dingxi. In the cell, she made a bet with him on Xia Houpo’s legs. She bet that King Dingxi would need her to heal Xia Houpo’s legs. Now that she came, she had won the first round.
But if she couldn’t cure Xia Houpo, she would be probably killed by King Dingxi at any time!
Inexplicably, Su Muge suddenly thought of Xia Houmo’s ascetic face...
She shook her head to get rid of these messy thoughts and followed King Dingxi into the room.
There was nothing special about the furnishings in the room. A figure was sitting in the room with his back to them; he must be Xia Houpo, the patient she was going to treat today.
“Po’er, the doctor I find for you has come.” King Dingxi said gently.
Su Muge took a look at him unconsciously; she had to admit that King Dingxi was a kind father to Xia Houpo.
“Why do you make such an unnecessary move? Anyway, my two legs have long been abandoned. Even the gods in heaven can’t save me!”
“Nonsense! How can you give yourself up?!”
Xia Houpo suddenly came to himself and looked at King Dingxi with red eyes. “Father, I’ve already given up. Why bother you!”
Su Muge looked Xia Houpo up and down silently.
He didn’t look like King Dingxi at all. King Dingxi’s face was covered with beards, and his body was tall and strong.
Xia Houpo looked much gentler. On his oval face, his narrow and big eyes were similar to those of Infanta Ceylon. At this time, he closed his thin lips tightly, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart.
“Give up? Is there anything in this world that you can’t do? You can’t give up before death!” After finishing his words, King Dingxi pointed at Su Muge. “Let her see you.”
With his lips turning pale, Xia Houpo stared coldly at Su Muge but didn’t say anything to refuse.
Su Muge tried her best to let go of the prejudice in her heart and regard Xia Houpo as a normal patient.
She put down her medical kit and walked to him.
“Your Royal Highness, you’d better tell me about his condition.”
King Dingxi called a man in his thirties. “Tell her everything about the eldest Master.”
“Yes. The eldest Master broke his legs three years ago. At that time, we had already set his broken bones. However, the broken bones didn’t recover unexpectedly and the eldest Master couldn’t walk normally.”
Su Muge squatted down. “No offense.” Before Xia Houpo could speak, she directly took out the scissors and cut his trousers open, exposing his legs inside.
Due to the lack of exercise for a long time, Xia Houpo’s legs had already had slight atrophic symptoms. This situation was a bit troublesome, so it was difficult for him to fully recover in a short time.
Seeing Su Muge at a young age, Xia Houpo wanted to ridicule her. But at the sight of her frowning look when he lowered his head, he inexplicably swallowed his words back into his stomach.
Su Muge reached out to touch his legs.
“Can you feel it?”
Xia Houpo said coldly. “Yes.”
The acupuncture points in his legs were still working, proving that his meridians and collaterals were still connected. In this case, the possibility of recovery was much higher.
His bones were indeed crooked, so he was unable to exert any energy while walking. In addition, he lacked proper treatment subsequently, making the condition of his legs worsened.
“How is it? Can you cure him?” Seeing Su Muge checking his legs and asking questions for a long time, King Dingxi asked in a low voice.
“I can have a try.”
“I want a definite answer!” Obviously, King Dingxi was unsatisfied with Su Muge’s answer.
Su Muge opened the medical kit and took out a packet of silver needles.
“Your Royal Highness, I’m not a god who can cure the disease with magic. I can only say that I have 50% odds of success.”
Fifty percent! It was already unexpected for King Dingxi and Xia Houpo!
However, King Dingxi deliberately put on a stern look. “You are still uncertain?”
“50%.”
“Well, have a try!”
“It’s just a fledgling little girl. How do you trust her so much?” Xia Houpo finally spoke. He thought that Su Muge was boasting. Even the famous doctors in the capital said that his legs were incurable. How could she claim that she had 50% odds of success?
“The eldest Master, do you think there is any worse result than now?” Su Muge spoke coldly.
“How dare you!” Xia Houpo shouted. He clenched his fists tightly and widened his eyes as if he would swallow Su Muge up.
He was so grumpy! She was just telling the truth.
“Po’er, let her treat you. If she can’t cure you, I won’t spare her life!”
Su Muge automatically ignored the conversation of the father and son, just waiting for them to make a decision.
“Okay, I’ll give you a chance.” Finally, Xia Houpo said while looking at Su Muge coldly.
Ridiculous! It seemed as if she was begging to treat him.
“There’s one thing that I have to make clear to Your Royal Highness and the eldest Master in advance.”
“What’s it? Tell us.”
“This treatment process will be very painful. I’ll break the bones of the eldest Master and reset them. If the eldest Master can’t bear it halfway ...”
“Impossible! If you can cure my legs, I can bear the pain no matter how severe it is!” Xia Houpo didn’t wait for Su Muge to finish her speech and interrupted with a fierce tone. In his view, Su Muge’s words were a humiliation to him!
Su Muge raised her eyebrows. Since she had his words now, she didn’t intend to use any anesthetic during the treatment.
“The eldest Master, you are really brave.”
Su Muge took out the silver needles and inserted them directly on his legs.
Acupuncture was to dredge his meridians at first; when the treatment was started, he would feel intenser pain!
When the needle was pierced in, Xia Houpo felt a slight tingling and sore feeling.
After the acupuncture, Su Muge left a prescription.
“Take the medicine according to this prescription for three days. After that, I’ll continue dredging his meridians by acupuncture. After seven days, I’ll break his bones and reset them.”
King Dingxi asked his man to check that prescription. The man nodded after reading it, proving that the prescription was fine.
“It’s getting late, Your Royal Highness. Can I go home?”
“As for this matter, I don’t want anyone else to know. Do you understand?” King Dingxi gave her a cold look full of coercion.
Su Muge frowned slightly. “Your Royal Highness, please rest assured.”
“Take her home.”
“Yes.”
Someone entered the room, covered Su Muge’s eyes, and took her back.
She returned to the Peachblossom Courtyard without disturbing anyone.
Su Muge put down her medical kit and sat down on the chair. Just as she was to go to bed, she heard a noise outside the door.
