"Miss, what's going on?"

Looking at the unconscious Mu Gu, Sun Yan and several other bodyguards had serious expressions.

"I found him on the way. He's been poisoned. Please help me prepare a clean room and a few buckets of hot water!"

While giving instructions, Xiao Ruge quickly wrote the prescription. After finishing, she handed the two prescriptions to Sun Yan and asked him to go to Jishan Hall to get the medicine.

Jishantang is also Xiao Ruge’s family business. Because it often provides free medical consultations, it is a famous medicine shop in the capital.

"Be careful when you go out and come back, don't let anyone follow you."

Xiao Ruge gestured to Mu Gu and reminded Sun Yan.

She was afraid that the people who were chasing Mu Gu were still looking for someone on the street. If they found something wrong with Sun Yan and followed him back, she would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, Miss!"

Sun Yan said this, turned around and strode out.

At this time, Mu Gu had been placed in a clean room. Xiao Ruge asked someone to bring a jar of rice wine and ordered someone to strip Mu Gu of his clothes.

Then he took out the needle bag he carried with him and started giving him injections.

She first protected Mu Gu's heart meridian to prevent the poisonous insect from running around and destroying his heart meridian, and then slowly forced the poisonous insect into Mu Gu's chest.

"Miss, the water is coming!"

Someone brought in a large bucket of hot water, and Xiao Ruge ordered them to carry Mu Gu in.

At this time, Sun Yan also came back with the medicinal herbs. Xiao Ruge took a packet and smelled it, then asked someone to boil the other packet with five bowls of water into one bowl, and then asked them to go and guard outside.

She threw the packet of medicine in her hand into the bathtub in batches. The boiling hot water instantly stimulated the effect of the medicine, and a bitter smell floated in the mist.

The poisonous insects gathered in Mu Gu's chest seemed to feel threatened and immediately started running around restlessly, but because their meridians were blocked, they could only wriggle wildly in that small area.

Perhaps it was too painful, the unconscious Mu Gu groaned with his brows tightly furrowed.

Xiao Ruge pinched his cheeks to force him to open his mouth, threw a pill in, watched his throat slide and swallow the pill, then let go.

He turned around, took a wooden basin and placed it in front of Mu Gu. He reached out and pressed a few acupoints on his back. Mu Gu "wow" and spit out a large mouthful of blood, which fell right into the wooden basin.

Along with the blood that was spit out, there were also many tiny twisted insects, which made people's scalps tingle.

Xiao Ruge burned the poisonous insects with rice wine and turned to look at Mu Gu.

After spitting out the bugs, Mu Gu's complexion looked much better, which made her feel relieved.

After wiping the blood from the corner of Mu Gu's mouth with a clean handkerchief and feeding him a pill, Xiao Ruge sat aside tiredly to drink some water.

After drinking a glass of water, she turned to look at Mu Gu who was still unconscious in the bathtub. Her brows furrowed deeper and deeper, wondering who had done such a cruel thing to Mu Gu.

After changing Mu Gu's water, he finally woke up.

At that time, Xiao Ruge was pulling out the silver needle from his body. Just when it reached his chest, the man grabbed her wrist.

"You're quite strong, and your body recovers quickly!"

Xiao Ruge looked at him with a curled lip corner.

When he saw clearly who was in front of him, Mu Gu slowly loosened his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you!"

Xiao Ruge curled her lips and continued to pull out the needle.

"You don't seem surprised to see me."

Mu Gu thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and asked irrelevantly, "Including that night, this is the second time you've saved me. How should I repay you?"

Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows, carefully put away the silver needle, and looked at the man in the bathtub leisurely.

"How do you know it was me who saved you last time?"

Mu Gu looked at her and said softly, "You have a faint herbal scent."

Xiao Ruge blinked, lowered her head and smelled the clothes on her body, only smelling the scent of soapberry, and no other herbal scent.

"Are you kidding me? Why can't I smell it myself?"

Mu Gu smiled and did not answer the question.

At this time, there was a knock on the door. The medicine was ready, and Sun Yan walked in with the medicine.

When he saw Mu Gu who had woken up, his eyes were somewhat unfriendly.

Xiao Ruge looked at Sun Yan, who was like a lion dog protecting his territory, and patted his shoulder with a smile.

"When he's better, let him go!"

Sun Yan didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.

"By the way, I came out tonight for something, come with me."

Watching Xiao Ruge and his men leave the room, Mu Gu felt a little stuffy in his chest. He stared at the two figures reflected on the door panel with a heavy look in his eyes.

Outside the door, Xiao Ruge took out a small box from her bag and handed it to Sun Yan.

"Here are some of the properties of the General's Mansion. Now I am the only one left in the family. There is no point in keeping them. It is better to sell them and secretly train a group of assassins."

"Uncle Sun has been doing this for years. When you have time, please help me hand these over to Uncle Sun and let him handle it."

Sun Yan opened the small box and took a look. Inside was a thick stack of land deeds.

"Miss, don't you want to keep some for yourself?"

"I'm keeping them. These are the parts that don't attract attention and are easier to sell."

Xiao Ruge smiled and patted Sun Yan's shoulder. "I originally wanted to go to the manor and tell Uncle Sun in person, but who knew I would meet the Seventh Prince."

When talking about Mu Gu, Sun Yan's eyes were full of disgust.

"Miss, this man is a trouble. We should stay away from him."

"I know, I will."

Xiao Ruge gave Sun Yan a bright smile, motioning him to go and do the work, while she stretched out her hand and pushed the door.

Inside the room, Mu Gu kept staring at the tightly closed door until it was pushed open from the outside, then he looked away.

"Come, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, drink the medicine!"

Xiao Ruge picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Mu Gu with a smile.

Mu Gu tilted his head slightly and looked at her pitifully, "I feel so weak that I can't even hold the medicine bowl."

"Tsk, as a man, how can you be so delicate?"

Xiao Ruge didn't buy it and stretched her arms forward again.

Mu Gu sighed and slowly raised his arm to take it. However, when Xiao Ruge was about to let go, his wrist weakened and he was about to drop the medicine bowl. Scared Xiao Ruge, she hurried to steady it.

"Did you do it on purpose?"

"I really don't have the strength."

Mu Gu smiled bitterly.

Xiao Ruge frowned and looked at him for a while. Seeing that his face was indeed pale, she had no choice but to resign herself to feeding him the medicine.

After taking a spoonful of the medicine, the bitter taste made Mu Gu frown, but it made Xiao Ruge laugh.

“Good medicine tastes bitter, so don’t waste even a single sip!”

Seeing her bright smile, Mu Gu stared at her and opened his mouth to drink the second spoonful.

He admitted that he was just pretending, but in front of Xiao Ruge, he just wanted to act weak and attract this woman's attention.

I don’t know when it started, but he always pays more attention to Xiao Ruge.
