World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter 139 The New Year

“Your Grace, don’t scare me!”

The air in Huaxi Palace was too frozen to breathe. The Emperor was sitting in the hall with a darkened face, and the imperial doctors were kneeling on the ground in a line.

Today, the Emperor’s mother was quite normal when she woke up. After breakfast, she suddenly felt pain in her heart. Her palace maid immediately went to invite the imperial doctor. When the imperial doctor arrived, the Emperor’s mother had already passed out due to the severe pain.

After the imperial doctor took her pulse, he found no serious problem with the Emperor’s mother except for heart-Qi deficiency. So, he could only prescribe some medicine to relieve her pain.

However, after drinking the medicine, the Emperor’s mother woke up and began to vomit until she fell into a coma just now.

“What can you do?! The Emperor’s mother has just got heartache, but you can’t do anything about it!” Because of his anger, the mouth of the Emperor became more and more skewed, and even his fingers couldn’t help shaking slightly.

“Your Majesty, we are incompetent. Please don’t be mad ...”

“Your Majesty, the eunuch going to invite Miss Su is back.”

The eunuch who went to Su Mansion walked into the room and bowed.

“I ...”

“Well, where is Su Muge?”

The Emperor waved his hands to omit the courtesy.

“Your Majesty, Miss Su is sick.”

The Emperor frowned. “What? She is sick? At this time?!”

The Empress frowned slightly. “What illness is Su Muge suffering from? Is it serious?”

“Your Grace, it is said to be a cold, and she is still lying on the bed at the moment.”

“Your Majesty, please let me take an imperial doctor to Su Mansion. I hope that the imperial doctor could cure her disease, so she could enter the palace and see the Emperor’s mother as soon as possible.” Nangong Ningxin looked at the Emperor with red and tearful eyes.

The Emperor knew that she had been with the Emperor’s mother since childhood, and her affection for the Emperor’s mother was incomparable. Even her grandchildren were not so intimate with her.

“Since you want to go, just go ahead.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you.” Nangong Ningxin stood up and came to Deputy Director Chen with a bow. “Please go with me, Lord Chen.”

The Emperor nodded.

Deputy Director Chen followed Nangong Ningxin out of the palace.

When Nangong Ningxin took the Deputy Director Chen to Su Mansion, Su Muge had just finished drinking a bowl of cubilose porridge. Knowing that the two were coming, she just asked Yueru to add two more braziers in the room, and the room was as warm as in summer.

“Miss Nangong, our eldest Miss is sick now. Please wait in the wing-room so as not to be infected.”

“Don’t worry. I’m here to see Miss Su, so I must get in with the doctor.”

The door was opened and then a gentle and graceful figure came to Su Muge’s bed.

Su Muge opened her eyes “weakly” and was slightly surprised to see Nangong Ningxin’s face.

“Miss Nangong, you are here?” While speaking, she was about to get up.

Nangong Ningxin reached out to hold her. “Miss Su, don’t get up. His Majesty heard you were sick and let me take imperial doctor Chen to come and see you.”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows secretly. Deputy Director Chen? The one to whom she had rolled her eyes in her heart?

Yueru stepped forward to help Su Muge sit up on the bed and put a cushion behind her back.

Since Deputy Director Chen was uncomfortable and retreated while detoxifying Xia Hourui, he hadn’t participated in the whole process and had almost been marginalized by Xia Hourui. He couldn’t continue to be the deputy director for long.

“That’s very nice of you, Deputy Director Chen.”

Deputy Director Chen put his medical kit down and stepped forward. Yueru put the bed curtain down, and Su Muge stretched out one hand for Deputy Director Chen to take her pulse.

As Su Muge thought, Deputy Director Chen had deep resentment against her. But Su Muge would be the wife of the King of Jin who he dared not to offend. So even if he was unhappy, he concealed his feelings.

After taking the pulse, Nangong Ningxin asked with a worried face, “Imperial Doctor Chen, how is Miss Su?”

“Miss Su has caught a cold and should stay in bed for recuperation for a few days. Don’t go out to be blown by the wind, or your illness will be aggravated.”

Nangong Ningxin nodded. “Miss Su, take care of yourself.”

“Thank you for your concern, Miss Nangong.”

Nangong Ningxin wanted to stay a little longer, but the air in the room was too hot for her to breathe, so she could only leave.

“The Emperor’s mother is still in a coma, so I can’t stay for long. See you next time.”

“Yueru, send Miss Nangong and Deputy Director Chen out.”

“Yes.”

The temperature in the room was so high that Nangong Ningxin was already sweating after a while. Just as she went out, she was hit by a cold wind. It was so cold that she shivered and hurriedly wrapped herself in her cloak tightly.

After sending them away, Yueru returned to Peachblossom Courtyard. Su Muge had already got up and started to deal with the snowdrop.

“They are gone?”

Yueru nodded and took out a purse from her pocket.

“This is given to me by Miss Nangong.”

Su Muge opened it and found 10 Liang in it. She was so generous.

“What did she say?”

“She only asked me to serve you well and help you recover soon.”

Su Muge raised her eyebrows with a smile and continued to fiddle with the medicine in her hand. “Since she gives it to you, just keep it.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Yueru sat back on the chair, picked up the embroidery, and continued to embroider.

“Why don’t you go to the palace to treat the Emperor’s mother, Miss?” Yueru asked casually.

“Why ...” It was because the Emperor’s mother’s illness was caused by her medicine. After she tried to annul the engagement of marriage, she met Nangong Ningxin and drugged in the millet porridge.

It wouldn’t kill her, but she would suffer a lot to pay the price for what she had done!

“Because I’m sick... I’ve just been diagnosed by Deputy Director Chen. I’ve caught a cold and have to stay in bed for recuperation.”

Yueru smiled and stopped asking.

When Nangong Ningxin returned to the palace, the Emperor’s mother had woken up.

It had only been a few hours, but the Emperor’s mother looked so pale and scary.

“Your Grace, you are finally awake. I’m really scared.” Nangong Ningxin knelt beside the Emperor’s mother with red eyes and choked with sobs.

The Emperor’s mother was doubtful. “What’s wrong with me?”

The Emperor looked at her mother with a confused look. “Mother, don’t you remember?”

The Emperor’s mother thought for a moment with a frown and shook her head. “I can’t remember it. I only remember that I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. As for what happened afterwards ... I can’t remember anything at all.”

The people in the room looked at each other. They could clearly remember the Emperor’s mother’s painful face when she covered her heart. She shouldn’t have forgotten.

“Mother, it’s nice to see you wake up. Doctors, you stay in Huaxi Palace. If the Emperor’s mother has any accident, you’ll be doomed!”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor’s mother would never imagine that this was just the beginning of her nightmare.

Every night, she would start to have chest pain after midnight. The pain made her unable to make any sound and her whole body weak. Even if she wanted to call people, she couldn’t make a sound.

The pain would last for almost the whole night. But after waking up the next day, she would forget what happened last night. It was just that her spirit was getting worse and worse.

The imperial doctor only said that the Emperor’s mother might be too anxious and suggested her to relax.

Seeing that the Emperor’s mother had no serious problems except for her worse spirit, the Emperor no longer asked Su Muge to enter the palace.

Soon, the New Year was coming.

This was the first time for Su Mansion to spend the New Year in the capital, and it was also the first New Year for Su Muge to spend in this world.

“Send these medicines to the drug store. And send the products I have bought for the New Year to Cheng Ran and the children.”

“Okay, I’ll do it right away.”

Su Muge revealed a slight joy on her face. The store selected by Cheng Ran had been sorted out now. These days, she was thought to be preparing her dowry at home, but she was actually making medicine. After the Lantern Festival, her drug store would be opened. It was so exciting to think about it.

“Miss, they have all been loaded.”

“Okay, let’s go now.”

Yueru was a little embarrassed to see that Su Muge wanted to go out with them.

“Miss, there are two days before the New Year. The street must be crowded, so you’d better not go out. What if someone meets you on the street?” Su Muge would get married soon after the New Year’s Festival. If she was seen on the street at this time, she would definitely be discussed.

“I won’t walk on the street, so nobody would see me. Let’s go and return early.”

Su Muge ignored Yueru’s worry and walked out of the room holding a hand warmer.

For security, Cheng Ran had changed their house twice. And now they were in a street-fronted house on an all-round street.

The house was the smallest one on this street, but the location was very good. If anything happened, it was easier for them to escape.

Su Muge’s carriage stopped at the more concealed back door, and Chen Chen came to open the door shortly after she knocked at the door.

“Miss, why are you here?”

Su Muge gently pinched his small face and walked into the yard. The children had stopped their lessons and were all preparing for the New Year in the house. Hearing Su Muge’s arrival, they came out of the house.

Hearing the movement from outside, Zhang, who was busy in the kitchen, wiped her hands and came out. At the sight of Su Muge, she put on a smile on her face.

“It’s Mumu.”

“Grandmother, what are you cooking? It smells so good.”

After being brought here by Cheng Ran, Zhang was a little unhappy at first. But these children were all sensible and well-behaved, trying their best to amuse Zhang. Gradually, Zhang became open-minded and took the initiative to cook for the children. Seeing the children’s satisfied smiles, she was also very happy.

“I’m making lunch. Have dinner with us before going back. It’s so cold today. You can’t be starved.”

“Okay, I haven’t eaten the glutinous rice cake you make for a long time, grandmother. I miss the taste of it so much now.”

“Well, I’ll go to make more for you.”

“I’ll help the old lady.” Yueru followed Zhang into the kitchen.

The children decorated the yard to make it more festive.

Although the weather was cold, Su Muge felt so warm in this small courtyard.
