World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 148 - Be Gentle

Chapter 148 Be Gentle

When Su Muge returned to Bamboo Courtyard, Xia Houmo was already sitting in the room.

“Your Royal Highness, you’re back.” Su Muge had made medicine all day today. Although she was a little tired, she was in a good mood and had relaxed a lot to see Xia Houmo.

Xia Houmo gave her a cold look. “Go back to the mansion before dark next time.”

Su Muge sat down next to him. Thinking of hundreds of thousands of banknotes and various title deeds, she felt Xia Houmo’s expressionless face much softer.

“I have to explain everything clearly on the first day. Your Royal Highness, you must have been hungry. Yueru, prepare dinner.”

Xia Houmo had felt Su Muge’s mood change obviously, wondering why she could be so happy to make medicine.

After an exhausting day, Su Muge was hungry indeed and couldn’t wait to enjoy the dinner.

Seeing that she had no intention to stop after finishing two bowls of rice, Xia Houmo prevented her from eating another bowl of rice. “You’ve had enough for tonight.”

“Uh…” But she still didn’t feel full!

But considering that she would go to sleep after a while and it was really bad to eat too much, Su Muge put down the chopsticks.

After gargling, Su Muge took out the list she had made today to Xia Houmo. “Your Royal Highness, take a look and see if there is anything else to add.”

Xia Houmo took a glance at the list. He had to admit that Su Muge’s list was very detailed and focused.

“I intend to make the first batch of medicine to try the effect and improve it according to the effect.” So many imperial guards had to practice every day and would easily get hurt, so the first batch of medicine she was going to make was traumatic. Even if the effect was not so good, it wouldn’t cause harm to them.

“Okay.”

After Su Muge told Xia Houmo her plan, she suddenly thought of something and asked Yueru to bring her a gray bag.

“Your Royal Highness, Miss Liu said that your ankle was once injured and would hurt in winter. She also sent you a lot of foot-soaking medicine bags. After I checked the medicine in the medicine bag, I made some improvements. Would you like to have a try tonight?”

Xia Houmo revealed a flicker of delight in his deep and dark eyes. “Okay.”

After a quarter, Xinlan walked in with a steaming tub. Xia Houmo took off his shoes and socks and put his feet in the hot water.

His ankle was injured five years ago. It was in the cold winter. Because of the lack of timely treatment, it had become an old complaint and would cause a faint tingling every winter.

Su Muge squatted down, reached out to hold up his injured foot, and rubbed around his ankle with her fingertips.

“Do you feel pain, Your Royal Highness?”

Xia Houmo looked down at her serious and dedicated look, feeling a warm current spreading from his foot sole to his heart.

“No.”

For him, the pain in his foot is not a big deal.

Su Muge frowned. Thinking of Xia Houmo’s endurance, she felt it better to change the way to ask him. She directly pressed on his two ankles.

“Do you feel any discomfort?”

Xia Houmo moved his eyebrows, feeling a little hot to be pressed by her weak and soft hands.

“A little sore.”

After changing several points and confirming his feelings, Su Muge took out the silver needles and inserted them around his ankles.

“Your Royal Highness, your injury hasn’t been treated properly before, thus leading to an incompletely cured illness. But it’s not a big problem. I’ll acupuncture and knead your ankle these days and it will be cured soon.”

“Your Grace, the hot water is ready.”

“The acupuncture treatment will take a quarter of an hour. I’ll take a bath first.”

Xia Houmo leaned against the bed and nodded, but he kept his eyes fixed on her.

The bathroom was in a compartment of the room, only separated by a door.

Xia Houmo didn’t withdraw his gaze until Su Muge disappeared behind the door.

After everything was prepared, Yueru and others retreated, knowing that Su Muge didn’t like to be surrounded when she was taking a bath.

After a busy day, the most comfortable thing was to take a bath in the hot water at night.

Su Muge took off her clothes and slid into the hot water.

“Wow, it’s so comfortable.”

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, Xia Houmo darkened his eyes. The braziers burning in the room made him unbearably hot.

At this time, on the other side of the mansion, even if there were warm braziers in the room, Liu Rumeng felt unbearably cold.

Liu Rumeng twitched her lips and clenched her pale hands while looking at the maid coming to send a message with incredible expression.

“You said His Royal Highness asked Mr. Liao to find a husband for me?” She finished the sentence with all her strength.

That maid was terrified by Liu Rumeng. “Yes, yes, Miss Liu, Mr. Liao asked me to come and inform you and ask if you have any requirements…”

“Bang!”

The teacup on the table was swept to the ground by Liu Rumeng and fell into pieces.

“Requirements? Doesn’t he know my heart?”

Seeing Liu Rumeng out of control, little Xue hurriedly let the maid retreat and held Liu Rumeng.

“Miss, don’t be sad. This matter hasn’t been figured out yet. Don’t be cranky. Maybe it’s not His Royal Highness’s idea?” Little Xue’s words were like Liu Rumeng’s last life-saving straw.

“Yes, you are right. Mr. Liao had just gone to see the Rani yesterday. Maybe this is her idea. I have been in the palace for so many years, and His Royal Highness has never thought about letting me leave. It must be that woman. She is afraid and wants to get rid of me!” This thought gave Liu Rumeng a supporting point and made her calm down.

“Yes, Miss, how good His Royal Highness has been to you before! I thought His Royal Highness would take you as his concubine after the Rani entered Jin Mansion. Who knows the Rani is so intolerant!”

“No, I can’t let her succeed. She can never drive me away from His Royal Highness!” Liu Rumeng revealed a flicker of harsh countenance in her pale face.

…

In the bathroom filled with steams, Su Muge picked up the soap and was to wipe it on her body. With a slip of her hand, the soap fell to the ground.

“Oh.”

As she got out of the water and was to pick it up, it had already been picked up by another hand.

Su Muge was shocked when she looked up and met Xia Houmo’s deep and dark eyes.

“Your Royal Highness, you…” Su Muge subconsciously sank her body into the water.

Before she could sit still, Xia Houmo stretched out his arms and pulled her out of the water.

“Oh!” Su Muge exclaimed; she was completely naked!

Xia Houmo pulled the cloth on the screen to wrap her, took her out of the bathroom, and directly put her on the bed!

Su Muge was wrapped like a caterpillar and put on the bed. Before she could hide, he had already pressed on her body!

Su Muge looked at his handsome face in shock.

“Your Royal Highness, you, what are you doing…”

Xia Houmo’s whole body was tightened. He clasped her waist so tightly that Su Muge felt her waist would be broken!

“My Rani, is there anything important we haven’t done since our wedding day?” Xia Houmo’s voice was hoarse and charming.

Anything important?!

Of course, Su Muge knew what he meant!

Xia Houmo had a handsome face, long legs, and a good figure, so she wouldn’t refuse if something must happen between them!

But when it came, Su Muge was still shocked and unprepared!

“Your Royal Highness, the silver needles on your feet haven’t been pulled out yet. Let me pull them out for you…”

“I have pulled them out.”

Su Muge opened her mouth and wanted to say something more, but Xia Houmo sealed her lips with his.

It was not the first time that he kissed her, but Su Muge still felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest!

Xia Houmo took advantage of her unpreparedness and arrogantly invaded and occupied her mouth!

The quilt was kicked down to the ground by them. The rising body temperature gradually made Su Muge’s mind chaotic. Only when she felt a sudden cold on her body did she slightly recover her consciousness.

She opened her eyes and found Xia Houmo had also been naked!

Su Muge looked at him from top to bottom thoroughly!

She had to admit that Xia Houmo was not only strong outside but also inside!

“Don’t be afraid…” Feeling her trembling slightly, Xia Houmo gently hugged her in his arms and comforted her.

From Su Muge’s perspective, his words could swallow her the next instant.

“Your Royal Highness, I, I’m weak. Be gentle…”

Xia Houmo let out a low chuckle with unprecedented happiness.

“Okay.”

Just as Su Muge gritted her teeth and was mentally prepared…

“Your Royal Highness, I have something important to report.” Donglin’s voice came out suddenly and improperly.

Xia Houmo slightly paused but didn’t intend to stop.

“Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness?” Donglin raised his voice unconsciously.

Su Muge opened her eyes and pulled the quilt on her body so as not to be affected by Xia Houmo’s coldness.

Xia Houmo took a deep breath and dropped an unwilling kiss on Su Muge’s lips. “Wait for me to come back.” After finishing his words, he turned over and got out of bed. After picking up the clothes on the ground and putting them on, he opened the door and went out.

Su Muge looked at the bed curtain above her head and pressed her heart with a strong and fast heartbeat. Xia Houmo’s smell was still lingering around her.

Donglin finally saw Xia Houmo coming out. When he wanted to step forward to speak, he was suddenly frightened by his strong aura and took a step back.

“Your, Your Royal Highness …” Had he accidentally ruined His Royal Highness’s good night?! The resentment of His Royal Highness was so scary!

“Say!”

“Yes, yes, it’s Qingyu. His situation is getting worse. Doctor Gui asks you to go there, Your Royal Highness.”

After hearing that, Xia Houmo put on an even sullener face. “Let’s go.”

Su Muge, who was lying on the bed, felt that the person outside the door should have gone and exhaled a deep breath. However, she felt an inexplicable emptiness afterward. She rolled up the quilt and wrapped herself in it before she could finally close her eyes comfortably.

When Xia Houmo returned to the mansion after midnight, Su Muge had fallen asleep.

He unwillingly took off his robe, went to bed, and hugged her before closing his eyes.
