World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess Chapter 144 - Asking for Benefits

Chapter 144 Asking for Benefits

After breakfast, Xia Houmo left the mansion. He was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards and had to deal with the general affairs.

After Xia Houmo left, Su Muge didn’t intend to relax.

“Xinche, bring me the box of medicine.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge had little dowry. Since Zhao had few a.s.sets, her dowry was mostly from the Su family. And the rest was the rewards she received before and the medicinal materials she made by herself.

Su Muge took out all the medicinal materials and decided to make more medicine during this time.

There happened to be a small kitchen in the courtyard, so it was also very convenient for her.

“Your Grace, be careful. Don’t affect the wound.”

“Okay.” Su Muge replied without looking up and focused on the medicinal materials on the table.

She even didn’t know when Xia Houmo came back.

“Are these herbs so interesting?” Xia Houmo picked up a pill on the table and looked at it.

Su Muge raised her head and met Xia Houmo’s eyes. She looked at the sky. It should be in the afternoon now. Why did Xia Houmo come back so soon? Was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards so idle?

“Yes, they are very interesting. n.o.body can live without them.” Who could guarantee that he wouldn’t get sick all his life?

Xia Houmo raised his eyebrows and put the pill down. “You’re right.”

With Xia Houmo sitting in the room, she couldn’t concentrate at all and simply let Yueru take them away.

“Your Royal Highness, why do you return so early today?”

Xia Houmo walked up to her and held her up on his laps before she could react.

Yueru and others packed everything up silently and retreated, pretending to have seen nothing.

Xia Houmo had been too close to her recently, making Su Muge very uncomfortable.

“Your Royal Highness, what are you doing?!” They would be laughed at!

“I feel so cold that I want to hold you to get warmer.” Xia Houmo held her waist even more tightly but carefully avoided her wound.

“Your Royal Highness, if you feel cold, you can ask them to add more braziers!”

Seeing that she looked like a timid kitten, Xia Houmo was suddenly in a good mood and gently bit her neck with his soft lips.

“Ah!” The sense of touch made Su Muge cry out and her heart shiver.

“It’s enough to have you. I don’t need braziers.”

Su Muge was a little unbelievable. Wasn’t he supposed to be cold and arrogant?!

“Don’t forget, we are husband and wife now.” So all the intimate actions were justifiable.

Su Muge took a deep breath. Fearing that struggling too hard would affect her wound, she stopped moving.

With a beautiful girl in his arms, Xia Houmo smelled the faint fragrance of Su Muge’s body and slightly moved his hand around her waist.

“Su Muge, when can your injury recover? …” Xia Houmo sighed and dropped his chin on her shoulder.

When could her injury recover?

Su Muge was confused for a while. Suddenly, she felt something touching her thigh and could finally understand!

Sure enough, men were animals thinking with their lower body!

“Your Royal Highness, if you want, plenty of girls will come to your door?”

Hearing Su Muge’s words, Xia Houmo revealed a smile in his eyes. “It seems that the Rani doesn’t welcome those girls coming to my door?”

Su Muge was certainly unhappy to have a crowded backyard!

She was the Rani of Jin now and had to take charge of Xia Houmo’s backyard. She didn’t think it easy to manage those girls.

But of course, she wouldn’t say so.

“Your Royal Highness, as long as you like them, I will like them.”

Xia Houmo turned her face to him and slightly smiled. “Dishonest.”

Before Su Muge could retort, he sealed her lips with his lips.

Su Muge was stunned with her eyes widened and looked at the handsome face in front of her. She even forgot to breathe!

Xia Houmo gently pinched her waist, and Su Muge subconsciously opened her mouth. He took advantage of the opportunity to invade, attacked her mouth step by step, and occupied it completely.

“Breathe!”

It was not until Xia Houmo murmured on her lips that Su Muge suddenly realized to take a breath!

She pushed against Xia Houmo’s chest with her hands, but her strength was so limited that couldn’t resist his solid chest at all.

Xia Houmo didn’t let her go until she felt slightly numb in her lips. He looked down at her misty wet eyes and hoped to melt her into his body now!

Xia Houmo kissed her forehead and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice. “Don’t look at me with such eyes.”

Su Muge thought she was looking at him with anger, but she didn’t know how lovable she was now, like a frightened little deer.

Su Muge gritted her teeth to calm herself down and decided to take advantage of Xia Houmo’s good mood to ask for some benefits!

“Your Royal Highness, can I go out after I have recovered?”

Hearing her gentle voice, Xia Houmo only felt soft in his heart. He just wanted to hug her and didn’t expect to lose control of himself.

“What do you want to do outside?”

“Your Royal Highness, you should know that I have bought some children before.” She believed that Xia Houmo must have investigated what she had done thoroughly.

“Okay.”

“I want to see them now and then.” After Su Muge married Xia Houmo, she spoke in a more casual tone to him and Xia Houmo didn’t care.

“No more than two hours every time.”

Su Muge didn’t expect Xia Houmo to agree so easily. “Thank you, Your Royal Highness.”

“Saying “thank you” is not enough.” As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips again.

…

Three days later, Xia Houmo took Su Muge into the palace to thank the Emperor.

In Yangyi Palace, Xia Hourui sat on the dragon throne and let the two get up.

“I heard that you warded off the arrows for the King of Jin on the wedding day. I’m very delighted. A couple should be like this. Eunuch Yi, bring my 300-year-old ginseng to the Rani of Jin .”

“Yes.”

Su Muge bowed slightly. “Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty.”

“The Emperor’s mother has always been worried about your body. Go to greet her to let her rest a.s.sured.” Xia Hourui was to send Su Muge away to talk with Xia Houmo alone.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll pick you up later.” Before Su Muge left, Xia Houmo whispered in her ear.

Su Muge nodded slightly and retreated.

Seeing the two’s movements, Xia Hourui smiled. “You naughty boy, I thought you were ruthless and anestrous. But now, it seems that I am wrong.”

Xia Houmo was slightly embarra.s.sed and lowered his head to hide his emotions in his eyes.

After Su Muge left Yangyi Palace, a palace maid stepped forward to guide her.

Huaxi Palace of the Emperor’s mother was a little far away from Yangyi Palace, so Su Muge walked for a while.

The palace maid stepped forward to show her ident.i.ty to the mama guarding the gate. Then the mama stepped forward to greet Su Muge and came in to report.

This time, the Emperor’s mother didn’t let Su Muge wait too long. Soon, a palace maid came out to lead her in.

“Your Grace, the Rani of Jin is here.”

“Let her come in.” The Emperor’s mother’s weak voice came from inside.

Su Muge walked in with her head lowered. As soon as she entered the room, she sensed a smell of sour medicine.

The Emperor’s mother was leaning on the couch, covered with a golden-red brocade quilt. Nangong Ningxin was sitting beside the couch and rubbing her legs.

If she hadn’t seen the Emperor’s mother before, she couldn’t believe that the woman with lifeless eyes, sunken cheeks, and dry skin was the Emperor’s mother.

Nangong Ningxin beside her was also a lot thinner.

“Your Grace, pay my respects to you.”

Nangong Ningxin glanced at her and got up to bow to her.

The Emperor’s mother opened her eyes tiredly. “Get up.”

The Emperor’s mother had suffered a lot recently. She had just felt better these days, but she was much more emaciated. However, n.o.body could find the root cause.

“Thank you, Your Grace.”

“Sister Su, I heard that you were injured. Have you got better now?”

Su Muge believed that she was not familiar with Nangong Ningxin. How could she call her sister? Shouldn’t it be the Rani of Jin?

Su Muge said lightly: “Thank you for your concern, Miss Nangong. I’m much better.” After the scab fell off completely, there would just be the internal self-healing. In fact, she had recovered quite well.

“You were injured because you saved Mo’er?” The Emperor’s mother sat up with her body supported by her arms.

That night, only she and Xia Houmo knew what was happening in the room. Now both the Emperor’s mother and the Emperor have known. So they must have been told by Xia Houmo. Was Xia Houmo claiming credit for her?

“I didn’t think too much at that time.”

If given another chance, she would hide as far as she could!

“You’re a good girl. I haven’t given you anything for your marriage. He Mama, bring the brocade box I have prepared.”

“Yes.”

In a while, He Mama walked in with a rosewood brocade box.

The box with golden strokes was embedded with two gems in the lock. Not to mention the contents of the box, this box was very valuable.

“This is my gift for you. Keep it. Deliver a child for Mo’er as soon as possible. He is not young and should have a child.”

The elder’s gift couldn’t be refused. Su Muge thanked her and accepted the brocade box. As for the Emperor’s mother’s words, she would pretend to have not heard it.

“Open it. Do you like it?” the Emperor’s mother coughed.

“Yes.”

He Mama took out a small key and unlocked the brocade box.

There was a crystal clear jade bracelet in the brocade box. A golden phoenix was inlaid on the bracelet vividly. And there was a pair of pearl earrings with excellent color beside it. The earrings were also very precious but were far worse than the jade bracelet.

Nangong Ningxin was startled to see the jade bracelet and couldn’t hide her disappointment in her eyes.

“This jade bracelet was my dowry when I got married, which has been with me for years. Put it on.”

The jade bracelet was warm and flawless. It was indeed a rare piece of jade.

“Thank you very much, Your Grace. But I dare not to wear such a precious jade bracelet, for fear of b.u.mping and breaking it. If so, I’ll be heartbroken.”

“I think the pair of pearl earrings fit your clothes well, Sister Su. Let me put them on you.”
