World-shaking First Daughter: Powerful Medical Princess-Chapter 114 - She Was Innocent

Chapter 114 She Was Innocent

King Dingxi was wearing a robe embroidered with a five-claw golden dragon; Infanta Ceylon followed him into the hall.

“Your Majesty, pay my respects to you.”

“Your Majesty, pay my respects to you.”

The Emperor glanced at the two with his dim eyes and revealed a faint smile on his face.

“Get up.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Infanta Ceylon seemed to be no different from her state a few days ago; she was just much quieter than before.

“Ceylon, you have recovered?”

“Your Majesty, I’m much better.”

“You remained unconscious for so long and woke up as soon as your father came. You are really connected father and daughter.”

King Dingxi stepped forward and knelt. “I entered the capital without permission. Your Majesty, please punish me.”

The Emperor’s look was a bit gloomy. “You are just for Ceylon. I’ll let you go this time. Since you have already come and the New Year is coming, stay in the capital and celebrate the New Year before going back.”

“Eh …” King Dingxi revealed a look of embarrassment on his face.

“Why? Do you have anything urgent?”

“No, I don’t. Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty.”

King Dingxi glanced at Infanta Ceylon, and Infanta Ceylon knowingly replied, “Your Majesty, I have something that I must tell you today.”

Xia Hourui raised his eyebrows.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“I accidentally fell into the water by myself. It has nothing to do with Su Muge. My maid claimed that Su Muge was the person who pushed me into the water for fear that she would be punished for not serving me well.”

Xia Hourui went to the dragon throne, sat down, and looked at Infanta Ceylon. “You mean, Su Muge has nothing to do with this matter?”

“Yes, she didn’t push me into the water.”

“Since Su Muge is wronged and she has also been imprisoned for this incident, you should send a gift to Su Mansion as compensation after she is released.”

“Yes.”

“Third brother, you have rushed to the capital day and night without a good rest. Go back for a rest.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Please excuse my departure.”

“Your Majesty, please excuse my departure.”

After King Dingxi and his daughter left, Xia Hourui called Eunuch Yi.

“Ceylon had a serious conflict with Su Muge?”

Eunuch Yi bowed and said, “I’ve sent people to inquire. It is said that Infanta Ceylon almost hit Miss Su on the street, and the two had a dispute. Their grudge must have been generated at that time.”

Xia Hourui narrowed his eyes and turned the jade beads on his hand. “What kind of person is Ceylon? If she hates someone, she will even scratch his or her face. With such deep hatred with Su Muge, how can she let her go so easily?”

“It may be that King Dingxi doesn’t want to make a fuss; he wants the problem to be solved as soon as possible.”

Xia Hourui took up his teacup without taking it seriously. “Continue to watch on him. I don’t believe he has rushed to the capital day and night!”

“Yes.”

…

In the prison.

Two officers opened the door of the cell.

Lord Fang in an official uniform came in with a smile. “Miss Su, I’m here to take you out.”

Su Muge stood up. “Take me out? Have you determined that I am innocent?”

“Yes, Infanta Ceylon has woken up and said that she had accidentally stumbled into the lotus pond and it had nothing to do with Miss Su.”

Infanta Ceylon had proved her innocence?

Su Muge felt very unbelievable and finally understood at the thought of her talk with King Dingxi.

“Okay.”

Su Muge was released from prison. Su Mansion had received the news, and Zhao was in the carriage to take her back from person.

Having been imprisoned for several days, Su Muge couldn’t adapt to the dazzling daylight outside when she walked out of the cell, feeling her eyes very uncomfortable.

“Miss …” Choking with sobs, Yueru ran over and helped Su Muge put on the cloak she brought.

“Mumu …”

Zhao grabbed her hand tightly with red and tearful eyes.

“Madam, let’s get in the carriage first.” Meihua said softly.

Zhao nodded and pulled Su Muge into the carriage.

“Miss, have some water.”

Su Muge took it over and drank it up, feeling much more comfortable in her throat.

“Mumu, you have suffered so much …”

“Mother, sorry to make you worried.”

Zhao shook her head. “As long as you can come back safe and sound, I’m very happy.”

The carriage stopped outside Su Mansion.

Su Muge got out of the car and was about to follow Zhao into the gate. Suddenly, a pot of dog blood was splashed towards them.

Su Muge responded quickly to pull Zhao away.

Zhao was stunned and immediately irritated.

“What are you doing?!” She had been keeping the house for a period and had been much stronger than before.

Seeing Zhao angry, the old mama was not afraid. “Madam, this is ordered by Old Lady. She said that that the eldest Miss had entered the prison and asked me to splash some dog blood to get rid of the ill-fortune.”

Zhao’s face was pale with anger, but she couldn’t scold the old mama; otherwise, she would be going against Old Lady.

“Get away!”

“Yes, I’ll retreat.”

Seeing Zhao angry, Su Muge stepped up and held her hand. “Mother, don’t be angry about some irrelevant people. It’s not worthwhile.”

Zhao took a few deep breaths before calming down.

“I know, I just…well, forget it. I have had bathwater prepared for you. Go back to take a bath first, and then go to greet your grandmother.”

“Okay.”

After Su Muge separated with Zhao, she returned to Peachblossom Courtyard.

The maids have prepared the juice of wormwood leaves for her bath, which could help exorcise evil spirits and ill fortune.

She didn’t care about this. At least, wormwood leaves could help dispel the coldness and dampness in her body. Having spent so many days in prison, she really should take a good bath.

Soaking her cold body in the warm water, Su Muge exhaled comfortably.

After a period of careful nursing, her body had been much better than before. Her yellowish skin had become fairer and smoother, and even her breasts have had become larger. Now she looked much more mature.

Lying in the bathtub, she began to feel sleepy either for the bath was too comfortable or for her being too tired.

Then she fell half asleep and half awake.

When she woke up, she had already been lying on her soft bed. She opened her eyes and looked around the room; it was dark.

“Yueru?” Su Muge gave a soft call. Hearing her voice, Yueru who was waiting outside pushed the door in.

“Miss, you are finally awake. If you don’t wake up, Madam will be too anxious.”

Su Muge moved her body and prepared to get up. But as soon as she moved, she felt her whole body so painful that it seemed to have been run over by a carriage.

“How long have I slept?”

“Miss, you have been asleep for a day and a night. We waited outside the bathroom for a long time but hadn’t heard any movement. I was afraid that any accident would happen to you, so I entered and found you asleep in the bathtub. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t wake you up. Later, several maids held you out of the water onto your bed. And you have been sleeping until now.”

She hadn’t even noticed that she had slept for so long.

It was reasonable after all. During these days in the cell, although she didn’t reveal any feelings and emotions, she was quite afraid in her heart and her spirit had always been in a tense state.

Now she could finally relax as soon as she came back, so it was quite normal for her to sleep for so long.

“Madam has made cubilose porridge for you, Miss. You haven’t eaten anything for so long. I’ll bring you the cubilose porridge right away.”

Cubilose was nourishing and mild, which was suitable for Su Muge to eat at this time.

“Mother is so considerate.”

Su Muge got out of bed and moved her limbs. After a little exercise, she felt not so sore in her body. She didn’t put down the spoon until she drank up two bowls of cubilose porridge.

Xinche walked in with warm water, wearing3 a strange look.

Seeing her look, Yue teased her, “What’s wrong with you? Are you bullied outside?”

Xinche pursed her lips. “Our eldest Miss is so powerful. Who dares to bully people of our Peachblossom Courtyard now?”

Xinche was right; now that Zhao was in charge of the whole Su Mansion, nobody dared to treat them as rudely as before.

“Then what’s wrong with you?”

Xinche glanced at Su Muge and hesitated.

Su Muge put down the bowl and smiled, “Why? You don’t know if you should tell me?”

“Miss …”

“Tell me, I guess you can’t hold it back either.”

Xinche made up her mind and said, “Miss, there is something wrong with Madam.”

Hearing that it was related to Zhao, Su Muge withdrew the smile on her face.

“What’s up? Make it clear.”

“It’s, in fact, not Madam, but My Lord.”

“My Lord?”

“Yes, My Lord slept alone in the study last night, but unexpectedly, when he got up this morning, he found one more person on his bed…” After finishing speaking, Xinche became flushed.

“What?” Su Muge was slightly stunned.

“Who is it?”

“It’s, it’s Lady Haitang!”

In other words, Haitang got on Su Lun’s bed?

“Mother is dealing with this matter?”

“Yes, Madam said that this matter shouldn’t be told to you for a while, but I thought you would have to know it sooner or later.”

“Silly girl, how could you tell Miss such things? Hurry back to work.” Yueru reacted and knocked Xinche’s head with a tone of blame.

Xinche convicted her guilt and ran away.

“Miss, Madam will handle it well.”

As the Miss of Su Mansion, Su Muge shouldn’t have been told this kind of dirty things.

Su Muge shook her head carelessly. She had sensed something wrong with this Haitang before, feeling that something would happen to her sooner or later.

“Keep an eye on them, and report to me immediately if anything happens.”

“Yes, I’ll go right now.”

At night, Zhao returned to Peachblossom Courtyard with a tired look.

Su Muge took the initiative to rub her shoulders and gave her a massage.

“Mother, you must be tired?”

Zhao wanted to shake her head, but she sighed helplessly at the thought of the mess.

The small Su Mansion had been so hard to handle, not to mention those rich and noble families.

“It’s not a big deal to work hard for you and Mo’er.”

Su Muge reduced the strength of her hands. Either in this era or her era, there were so many women enduring all kinds of hardships for their family and children which were not warm at all.

“Mother, if you feel tired or unwilling… let’s leave here.”
