World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess

Chapter17 Poisoning

It was not only his face but also his lofty and noble temperament that fascinated others. He seemed to be a sword to be unsheathed. Even if he stood still, he looked scary.

The man wore a white gown with dark patterns and had a jade belt on his waist, which demonstrated he was slender and straight. Despite this, Su Muge thought his white gown was like a battle robe because of the formidable ambiance.

Xia Houmo looked ahead, without giving a glimpse to Su Muge without any rest.

Hua Zheng wore a sweet smile on her dainty face the moment she saw Xia Houmo and said, “Your Royal Highness, were you OK last night?”

“Is everything done?” Xia Houmo ignored Hua Zheng’s inquiry and said to his bodyguard.

“Your Royal Highness, everything is OK.”

“Start off.”

What Xia Houmo said made Su Muge returned to herself. She thought that man didn’t know a little about romance and didn’t have any tenderness toward women. The princess had a crush on him evidently, but he even didn’t respond to her.

Xia Houmo left the inn and didn’t even give Hua Zheng a look.

There was a shade of gloom in Hua Zheng’s eyes.

“Princess, please.”

A maid held Hua Zheng, and they walked out of the inn and got into the carriage. The huge group of soldiers and horses disappeared in the street quickly.

On the official road, Xia Houmo sat on a fully black winged steed. Donglin rode forward and whispered to Xia Houmo, “Your Royal Highness, that assassin didn’t say anything.”

Xia Houmo held the rein more tightly, with deadly coldness in his eyes.

Donglin lowered his head and kept silent. Xia Houmo’s coldness made him break into cold sweats on his forehead.

The Royal Highness met the princess of East Qi (a country) under imperial order a month ago. They had been attacked more than ten times on their way.

Princess Hua Zheng was sent by East Qi to the emperor for connection through marriage. If she had something with Xia, he would be in trouble!

Xia Houmo was filled with coldness all over the body. “Say nothing? Mince him and feed a dog! Investigate who he’s serving!”

“OK.”

Xia Houmo squinted and said, “Let Guima come to see me.”

“I got it.”

...

Su Muge walked out of the inn and got the address of Zhao village. She drove the carriage and went to Zhao village.

The road was not flat and her hands that pulled the reins became weak.

The sun was hotter and hotter and she was going to faint.

She closed her eyes and shook her head; however, her heartbeat sped up unreasonably.

She drove the carriage to one side and leaned on the carriage, covering her heart and breathing quickly.

“How strange it is. What’s wrong with me!”

She wanted to wipe off the sweat with her hand, but she saw her palm became dark!

Su Muge was shocked, looking at her palm blankly.

She took a deep breath and felt her pulse quietly.

After a moment, she frowned strongly.

Damn it. She was poisoned!

Was it An that poisoned her?

Suddenly, there was severe throbbing pain in her body, as if someone reached her stomach and stirred up her internal organs. She was so painful that she was to scream out!

How fierce the poison was!

Su Muge struggled to stand up, but she was so painful that she was to faint.

Finally, she drove the carriage to the foot of a hill with her last strength. She was unable to sustain any longer and fell on the carriage.

“Ring. Ring...”

“Walk and walk. Travel and travel. Being ignorant and incompetent and I was not anxious...”

There were some crisp bell rings and brisk footsteps at the empty and quiet foot of the hill. A spare figure appeared from another side of the hill.

He wore a faded Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk with only sporadic hair, which looked very funny.

The Taoist priest caught sight of Su Muge who fell on the carriage and walked towards her...
