World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 166 - You Are Finally Back
Chapter 166 You Are Finally Back
A fugitive… You still had the mood to cook soy sauce chicken…
“Jin Mansion is in trouble now. Give me your most shabby clothes. I’m going out in a while.”
“Miss, it’s too dangerous for you to go out alone.”
“It’s okay. No one will notice a beggar at night.”
Cheng Ran had no choice but to give his clothes to Su Muge.
“Miss, let me send you over.”
Thinking that there was a carriage in their yard, Su Muge nodded.
“Send me to the street. Don’t get too close and lest you be found.” It was strange enough to drive a carriage on the street at night.
“Okay.”
“Well… Miss, those two men are…”
Su Muge glanced at the two in the room.
“Don’t worry about them.” After eating the chickens, the two would definitely leave.
“I’ll go to prepare the carriage.”
“Okay.”
Su Muge changed into the men’s suit, took out the potion, and wiped it on her face. Instantly, her snow-white skin turned into unhealthily dark.
After Cheng Ran got the carriage ready, Su Muge left with him.
In the hall.
Ali spit out the last chicken bone and licked his fingers with an appreciative smack of his lips.
“Master, the woman is gone.”
Jinglan took a bite of chicken without lifting his eyelids.
“Okay.”
When he finished eating the chicken in his hands, he wanted to grab Ali’s clothes to wipe his hands. However, Ali bounded a few meters away in fright.
“I’ve just changed my clothes this morning.” Ali gritted his teeth.
Jinglan glanced around the room and finally wiped his hands with the door curtain…
Ali pouted with disgust.
“Let’s go back.”
Jinglan returned to his chair and sat down.
“No.”
Ali jumped up. “Why!”
“The chicken she made is delicious.”
“So?”
“We have no money. But here, we have chickens to eat and beds to sleep.”
Ali was silent.
Jinglan stood up and sneezed gracefully. “I’m so sleepy. I’m going to bed.”
Ali stood still in a daze and watched him walk towards the room from which Cheng Ran came out…
Shameless!
…
“Second Prince, the Rani of Jin has run away!”
The man who escorted Su Muge hurried back to Jin Mansion.
“What? She has run away? Rubbish! You can’t even watch a woman!?” Xia Houkun got up from his chair.
“Someone, someone has hijacked her.”
“Who is it?”
“I don’t know. It was a child and a … man!” He paused and held back the word “good-looking”.
Xia Houkun kicked the man. “What are you still doing here? Hurry to chase them back!”
“Yes!”
Xia Houkun was so angry that his chest was undulating and his eyes were widened with anger. “Su Muge, do you think you can run away?! Put all the people of Jin Mansion into jail!”
“Yes!”
When Xia Houmo returned to Jin Mansion, all the people of Jin Mansion had been taken into prison by Xia Houkun.
Looking at the chaotic Jin Mansion, Xia Houmo revealed a homicidal intent in his dark eye!
“Your Royal Highness …”
The secret guards guarding in the dark flew out. The secret guards were good at hiding. When they found their disadvantaged position in the fight with the imperial guards, they hid up quickly to conserve their strength.
“Where are the people in the mansion?” He asked in a cold voice.
“They were arrested by Second Prince, who said that they were going to be jailed.”
“Where is the Rani of Jin?”
“We are incompetent and have not protected Her Highness …”
“Your Royal Highness!”
A familiar voice came from behind. When he turned around, he saw the familiar figure standing behind him.
Su Muge had never thought that she would burst into tears when she saw Xia Houmo now.
After Cheng Ran sent her over, she walked all the way to the gate of Jin Mansion. Looking at the empty mansion, she knew that Xia Houkun should have left. When she was about to enter through the back door, she saw a tall figure standing there.
Su Muge couldn’t help but speed up and trot to Xia Houmo.
Before she could come over, Xia Houmo couldn’t wait to step forward and to hug her tightly in his arms.
Su Muge embraced him tightly. “Your Royal Highness, you are finally back.”
Xia Houmo held her tightly, feeling her temperature and smell, and gradually calmed down. “Don’t be afraid. I’m back.”
“Let’s go inside.”
Just as Su Muge released her hands and was to step forward, she was directly held up by Xia Houmo.
Su Muge would usually struggle to get rid of him, but now she was greedy for his strong and warm arms.
Jin Mansion was in a mess. In the large mansion, there was nobody but the secret guards in the dark.
“It’s my fault. I should have burned that cloak immediately!” Su Muge told Xia Houmo the details of the incident. She gritted her teeth when she said that there were letters in that cloak!
Xia Houmo listened to her quietly. The more he heard, the angrier and sterner he became.
“Your Royal Highness, I ran away when I was escorted by the Imperial Guards. Xia Houkun would definitely convict me of absconding.” However, Su Muge didn’t regret it; she didn’t know what Xia Houkun would do to her!
How dare Xia Houkun search Jin Mansion so blatantly as soon as he got the half of the phoenix token?! Wasn’t he afraid of the Emperor?!…
No!
Su Muge suddenly realized something and looked up at Xia Houmo.
“Your Royal Highness, it’s the Emperor …”
Xia Houmo tapped on the table with his fingertips.
“If it weren’t for him, Xia Houkun wouldn’t have been so bold.”
So, the Emperor had acquiesced Xia Houkun to do so!
The Emperor began to express his scruple about Xia Houmo in action…
“Since he wants to take back the phoenix token, I’ll fulfill him.”
“Your Royal Highness …”
Xia Houmo stood up and stroked her hair.
“Stay in the mansion and wait for me to come back.”
“Where are you going, Your Royal Highness?”
“To the imperial palace.”
“Your Royal Highness, you are going to the palace?” Now Xia Houmo was accused of collaborationism.
Xia Houmo looked at the concern in her eyes and raised the corners of his lips. “Don’t worry. It’s not so easy to catch me.”
After that, Xia Houmo summoned the secret guards. “Protect Your Grace.”
“Yes.”
Xia Houmo strode away.
Xia Houkun had arrested all the people of Jin Mansion. He was still holding the evidence of collusion between Xia Houmo and Xia Housheng. Therefore, Xia Houkun was in a good mood.
“Your Royal Highness, shall we enter the palace to report to the Emperor?”
Just as Xia Houkun was to nod his head, he thought of the bad mental state of Xia Hourui. Once he asked to see him at night, Xia Hourui directly lost his temper. He didn’t want to turn such a good opportunity into nothing.
“Well, don’t disturb the Emperor. Let’s talk about it in the morning court tomorrow.”
If he reported it to the Emperor in the morning court, everyone would know that Xia Houmo was in danger. At the thought of the scene, Xia Houkun couldn’t help laughing out loud!
Xia Houkun didn’t know that Xia Houmo had already rushed to the imperial palace.
The guards guarding the palace gate were shocked to see Xia Houmo coming over on horses.
“Open the gate.”
Xia Houmo threw the horsewhip away and walked to the palace gate.
The imperial guards guarding the palace were still under his control. They did not dare to disobey his order and opened the palace gate immediately.
When Xia Houmo arrived at Yangyi Palace, Eunuch Yi was about to retreat for a rest. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he saw Xia Houmo coming over.
Eunuch Yi blinked. After making sure that he wasn’t mistaken, he stepped forward to welcome him.
“Your Royal Highness, pay my respects to you.”
Xia Houmo stopped with a poker face.
“I want to see His Majesty.”
Eunuch Yi was a bit awkward. “Your Royal Highness, His Majesty has already gone to sleep.”
Xia Houmo looked at him coldly with his dark eyes. “I want to see His Majesty.”
Being watched like this, Eunuch Yi started shivering all over. If he didn’t report it, Xia Houmo would definitely break in. “Your Royal Highness, please wait for a moment. I’ll go in to report.”
Eunuch Yi turned around, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, pushed the door open, and walked in.
After a while, Xia Houmo heard the sound of begging for mercy and smashing things inside.
After a moment, Eunuch Yi came out with a bitter face.
“Your Royal Highness, His Majesty let you come in.”
Xia Houmo kept his countenance and strode in.
In the chamber, Xia Hourui was wearing a bright yellow robe and sitting on the couch. Because of his bad mood, his neck and mouth were more crooked than usual, and he looked at Xia Houmo with particular hostility.
It was extremely difficult for him to fall asleep at night now, so he never allowed anyone to disturb him after he went to sleep.
“The palace gate was closed long ago. How did you come in?”
Xia Houmo lowered his eyes, standing in the hall.
“I broke in.”
Hearing this, Xia Hourui grabbed a soft pillow beside him and threw it towards him.
“You, you are so presumptuous. Now you even dare to break through the palace gate, don’t you?”
The soft pillow in the palace was quite heavy. And Xia Hourui was showing his age now, so he could not hit the target at all.
“I have something important to report to you, father.”
“Well, well, tell me, I’d like to see what you are going to say!”
Xia Houmo took out half of the phoenix token from his clothes and put it on the table.
Seeing the phoenix token, Xia Hourui widened his eyes slightly.
“What are you doing?”
“I can’t serve as the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guards.”
There was a flicker of dark light in Xia Hourui’s eyes. “Well, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry to take it back and go back. I want to take a rest now.”
Xia Houmo was still standing there motionlessly.
Xia Hourui frowned. “Why? You don’t even listen to me now?”
“I’m afraid that I can’t sleep after going back tonight. Tonight, Second Brother led a troop to search my mansion.”
Upon hearing this, Xia Hourui showed a surprised look. “What? He led people to search Jin Mansion?”
Xia Houmo revealed a slight and invisible sneer in his eyes. “Second Brother said that there were assassins in the palace and he had to blockade the city gate and search for the assassins in every household.”
Xia Hourui frowned silently
“At that time, I was still outside the capital city. And I just learned that Second Brother found a letter in collusion with the criminal Xia Housheng in my mansion.”
Hearing this, Xia Hourui sat up straight.
“What did you say? He found evidence of your collusion with Xia Housheng in your mansion!?”
“Yes, Second Brother has also arrested all the people of Jin Mansion and put them in jail. I know that I am a suspect now, so I have to return my half of the phoenix token to you immediately, father.”
