Chapter Seventy-Two: The Price of Loss

After sending Xiahou Rui away and letting Xiahou Yin go back, Mama An helped Concubine Qin to stroll in the back garden of the palace.

"It's getting colder and colder, go back and ask the imperial dining room to boil some mutton bone soup for the emperor to warm up."

Qin Guifei's green jade fingers gently played with a delicate orchid, and her voice was soft like a spring breeze.

Mama An responded with a smile. "Yes, Niangniang is really good to the emperor, and her whole heart is hanging on the emperor."

Concubine Qin hooked the corners of her lips, but she was not smiling.

Mama An glanced at the palace maids behind her, and the palace maids would deliberately stay away from the two.

"Why didn't Niangniang stop the eighth princess's words just now, the old slave didn't seem to be very happy with the competition when he saw the emperor?"

"Since the emperor has been unwell, he only let the Chen Yuan judge treat him, looking at the entire Chu State, and because there is Chen Yuan and the old eunuch to know how his body is, I don't know the emperor's physical condition, this palace is really uneasy!"

Mama An was silent when she heard this, Concubine Qin's father was the left minister of the dynasty, and the second prince was also very good among the princes, and he had a great advantage in the matter of establishing a prince.

Then there is the eldest prince raised under the name of the queen, although his biological mother is not obvious, but she occupies the name of an eldest concubine, and she is also sleek, and she is a strong opponent for the second prince.

However, what made Qin Guifei anxious the most was not the eldest prince, but the King of Jin, who had great power without the support of his mother's family!

The King of Jin has heavy troops outside, guarding Yanxia Pass, and is the commander of the forbidden army inside, which is far inferior to either the eldest prince or the second prince!

In such a situation, Qin Guifei naturally needs to have more information in order to be fully prepared.

Among them, the biggest variable is Xia Hourui's body......

"Chen Yuanju and Gonggong Yi are both emperors, they will never reveal the emperor's physical condition, so the palace can only find another way......"

If Su Muge can win the game tomorrow, then she has a way for her to treat the emperor!

……

"What are your chances of winning tomorrow's competition?"

It didn't take long for Su Lun to hear that Su Muge was going to compare his medical skills with Chen Yuan's apprentice, and he couldn't wait to go back to the house immediately to ask Su Muge for clarification.

Su Muge is not nervous about tomorrow's competition, and it can be seen from the method of Chen Yuan's treatment awarded to the emperor that it is difficult to say who wins or loses compared to him, let alone his apprentice.

"My daughter hasn't even seen Lord Chen's apprentice, so how can she know?"

Su Lun's face sank, and he walked around the room twice with some anxiety.

"No matter what, you must win tomorrow's competition!"

Su Muge's eyelids raised, and he took a leisurely bite of the pastry, but did not respond.

After returning to the Peach Blossom Courtyard, she put all the medicines and powders she had made recently into the medicine box.

This emperor is too chicken thief, saying that it is a competition, but she can only know the content of the competition on the day of the competition, so she must be fully prepared.

"No matter what the result is tomorrow, you don't want to anger the nobles, my mother just hopes that you will be at ease." When Zhao learned about the competition, his worried pair frowned.

That's in front of the emperor, if something goes wrong, you'll lose your head!

"Mother, I will do my best, as for winning or losing...... Even if the emperor loses, he won't embarrass me as a little girl. ”

That being said, where can the Zhao family rest assured.

"Mu Mu, my mother knows that you have an idea, but this capital seems to be prosperous, but there are too many things we don't know underneath, this time, my mother asked your father to find you a good family, you ...... Don't go to see people again, do you? ”

Su Muge looked at Zhao's undisguised worried eyebrows and softened his voice. "Mother, there are some things that we don't want to want to do, they won't happen, what my daughter has to do now is to make herself more capable of protecting herself and you."

Zhao's eyes turned red for a moment, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

……

Early the next morning, Su Muge entered the palace with Su Lun.

However, Su Lun had to go to the court first, and she was taken to a palace.

The competition is to be after noon, let her enter the palace early in the morning, and then hang her here, is this giving her a dismount?

Near noon, a palace maid dressed in a blue palace dress walked in with a food box.

"Miss Su, the slave maid is Ling'er who is waiting for Concubine Qin, and Concubine Qin learned that Miss Su entered the palace early in the morning for fear that Miss Su's belly would be empty, so she asked the slave maid to send Miss Su some food."

Ling'er opened the food box, which contained three dishes and one soup, the dishes seemed ordinary, but they were very exquisite.

Su Muge quietly got up and thanked him.

"Thank you Concubine Qin for your concern."

"Our concubine Niangniang said, this afternoon's competition is afraid that it will be a physical work, and Miss Su can go to the side hall to rest after she is full."

Su Muge's eyes flashed slightly.

Donkey work?

Qin Guifei is showing favor to herself.

"Thank you, Lady Niang, for mentioning this."

After Ling'er left, Su Muge didn't go to the side hall after eating, and only closed his eyes slightly on the chair to recuperate.

There are many ways for these nobles, and Concubine Qin naturally showed her favor not because she felt that she matched her eyes, but because she felt that she would be useful in the future, so she would leave a good impression first, but it was just a few good words and a meal, and it was not difficult for her.

"Miss Su, Miss Su, the emperor asked someone to spread the word that Miss should go to the Purple Hades Palace, and the competition will start soon."

Su Muge nodded, and walked towards the Purple Hades Palace with the medicine box on his back.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that when she came to the Purple Hades Palace, it was already full of people!

"Su Muge arrives at ......"

With the singing of the palace people, Su Muge walked into the main hall.

Su Muge didn't squint and stepped forward to salute.

"See the Emperor."

Xiahou Rui sat at the top of the main hall, still wearing a dragon robe.

"Get up."

"Your Majesty."

Su Muge's eyes swept around the hall, and he saw Xiahou Mo's figure!

Xiahou Mo sat under Xiahou Kun, and when he saw her at this time, he only glanced at her lightly and then withdrew his gaze.

Behind Xiahou Rui stood a big eight-open screen, if she guessed correctly, Qin Guifei and Xiahou Yin were sitting in the back.

There were also many officials in official uniforms present, almost all of whom had never seen them, and Su Lun could only mix in the last and most inconspicuous position among these people.

This position was reserved by Xiahou Rui because he was Su Muge's father.

"Yesterday you said that you were going to test your medical skills with the apprentice judged by Chen Yuan, and I thought about having someone find some patients for you, bring them up." Xiahou Rui said.

After Xiahou Rui's words fell, the guards carried up the wounded one by one with wooden planks, and those people lined up in the main hall, and the hall was filled with the smell of blood for a moment.

"There are a total of twenty wounded here, you only have one hour, you have to treat all the wounded, and finally ask the doctors of the Tai Hospital to judge, if you win, I have a big reward, as for what to do if you lose......

Xia Hourui said, turned his eyes to look at Chen Yuanju who stood up, and a young man in a cyan robe stood behind Chen Yuanju and bowed forward.

"Your Majesty, Cao Min Zhang Yue, today on behalf of the master and Miss Su, if the grass people lose, they are willing to cut off their hands, and they will no longer practice medicine in this life!"

Hearing the sound, Xiahou Mo, who picked up the wine glass, paused his fingertips slightly, and his eyes swept to Su Muge.

Xiahou Rui looked at Su Muge. "Su Muge, what do you think?"

I saw that Su Muge's face did not change and stepped forward. "The folk girl has no opinion."

Gonggong Yi asked the palace people to bring up a round table, on which were placed various medicinal herbs, and immediately took out the hourglass and stepped forward. "Competition, start now!"

"Knort"

With the sound of a gong and drum, Su Muge and Zhang Yue walked to the injured person who was carried up.

Zhang Yue first checked the injuries of each injured person, and then selected the person with the least injured injury to start treatment.

Su Muge also checked the condition of the injured person, but finally walked in front of the most seriously injured person.

This person's thigh was scraped horizontally, the wound was very large, and the flesh and blood on his thigh flew out, and when Su Muge untied the cloth covering his body, there were a lot of inhalation sounds in the hall.

Su Muge looked at the blood that kept pouring out of his thighs, and his brows condensed.

This man has injured a major artery, and if the bleeding does not stop, it will not be long before he will lose so much blood and die!

Su Muge took the cotton cloth and pressed the wound hard, trying to stop the bleeding.

On the other end, Zhang Yue has already completed the bandaging and treatment of the first injury, and he is constantly taking medicine from the round table, the medicine on the round table is limited, which side has finished taking it, then there will be none!

When Zhang Yue walked to the second injured person, he glanced up at Su Muge, and there was a smug sneer hidden in his eyes.

It's really stupid, since the person who is most seriously injured is chosen to be treated first, this is not only a waste of time, but it may not be able to cure the person, but a yellow-haired girl also wants to compete with him, it's ridiculous!

Su Lun, who was sitting in the corner, saw that Zhang Yue had more and more patients bandaged up, and couldn't help but feel anxious, if she lost, she was going to have her hands broken, she finally had some use, if her hands were wasted, what else did he want her to do!

Xiahou Kun was bored, turning the wine glass in his hand and looking at Su Muge squatting in the hall, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this figure was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

"No, this blood can't be stopped!" Su Muge watched the cotton cloth on her hand completely stained red with blood, and the patient's vital signs were getting weaker and weaker, and her heart sank slightly.

The poison in her body has been cured, and the ability in her palm can be used, but she has to be in front of so many people......

Su Muge gritted his teeth secretly!

Damn it!

"He's dying, so if you don't want to lose too ugly, let's change people."

The ghost sent the gods, Xiahou Kun spoke, and the voice in the quiet hall was really abrupt.

Su Muge's lips pursed, but she didn't move, Xiahou Kun secretly said that she didn't know what to do, so she snorted lightly and didn't speak again.

Just when Su Muge was trying to use the ability of his palm, the person on the wooden board suddenly suffocated, his head tilted, and he ran out of breath!

"The man, dead."
