Chapter 176 Mu Qing is Missing

The princess brought the imperial physician in and pointed at the man on the bed, saying, "Take his pulse quickly! As long as we can cure him, money is not a problem!"

The imperial physician took a look, panting, and broke out in a cold sweat.

He felt that the princess was too arrogant and too crazy!

She actually moved Lu Yunjue to her bed in broad daylight and made him look like this!

Hu Xiner sat by the bed, extremely worried, not only because of Mu Qing's unconsciousness, but also because those killers were so vicious that they probably wouldn't let him go.

If they don't dare to chase them to the princess's mansion, will those people go to the Lu family to commit crimes?

She winked at the eldest princess, and the two of them went outside to sort out what had happened.

"They're hiding a murderer right at the foot of the Imperial City! I'm going to have my father destroy that shabby Taoist temple!"

The eldest princess was extremely angry.

Hu Xin'er quickly said, "This matter must not be made public."

The princess was very surprised. This was not Hu Xin'er's style, unless...

"You are hiding something from me!" She looked straight into Hu Xiner's eyes.

I never expected that just one sentence would make the eldest princess suspicious.

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Hu Xiner told the whole story.

"...I'm not hiding this from you on purpose. I just want to get to the bottom of things first so you don't worry."

She had tried her best to be tactful, but the eldest princess was still furious, her eyebrows raised: "I almost lost my life accompanying you, and you actually don't trust me? You are so heartless!"

"Keep your voice down, be careful there are ears on the other side of the wall!" Hu Xiner covered the eldest princess's mouth, but she waved it away with a sneer.

Hu Xiner sat on the stone steps a little disappointed. After escaping, her body was very tired, and her heart was even more tired.

"Why don't you explain? Do you look down on me?" The eldest princess squatted beside her and glanced at her.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xin'er said honestly: "There's nothing to argue about. I was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you."

When they discovered that Mu Qing's identity was in doubt, both she and Mu Qing were a little nervous.

But after experiencing today's life-and-death crisis, Hu Xiner realized that she should never distrust her friends.

Even if Mu Qing's identity is fake, the friendship during this period is real.

The genuine guilt in her eyes made the eldest princess feel a little embarrassed: "It's okay, I'm always magnanimous. Since the matter is so serious, let's take Aunt Lu to the princess's residence!"

She stood up and walked inside, and heard Hu Xin'er softly call out, "Nangong Yue!"

The eldest princess turned her head in confusion.

Hu Xiner's eyes were a little moist: "Thank you."

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and smiled, waved her hand, and went in to ask Erdong to go and pick up Lu's mother.

As soon as Erdong left, Xiaolan rushed in: "Princess, I heard that you summoned the imperial physician. Are you injured?"

Behind her, the twin handsome boys, the white-robed swordsman, the embroidered boy... all came over to ask about her well-being.

Suddenly, all the flowers in the room bloomed. The eldest princess waved her hand, and the lovers suddenly fell silent.

"This princess is fine, let's go!"

The handsome boys' eyes turned red, and they asked in unison: "Does the princess have a new lover outside and doesn't want us anymore?"

The other concubines also showed expressions of condemnation or resentment.

The eldest princess raised her chin proudly: "The new love you are talking about, is it Erdong or Lu Yunjue?"

The gazes of the concubines instantly fell on the bed...

Hu Xin'er quickly stood in front of the bed: "Don't talk nonsense, Lu Yunjue is my husband!"

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess waved her hand domineeringly: "They are both mine!"

Xiaolan applauded enthusiastically: "As expected of the charming princess!"

She also winked at Hu Xin'er, asking her not to destroy the princess's elegant image.

Hu Xin'er was heartbroken. It was already this late, and this unreliable guy Nangong Yue was still pretending to be cool!

Just as the princess was getting carried away, Erdong came over with Lu's mother and said with a dark face, "The person has been brought here."

Then he left in anger.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, several kind-hearted lovers offered to help take care of Mrs. Lu.

Hu Xin'er was very grateful: "Thank you for your help!"

The embroidered boy smiled softly: "Thank you for taking care of our eldest princess on weekdays."

The concubines all left, and the room finally quieted down. The imperial physician reported, "Princess, I have finished my acupuncture."

The two came to the bed and saw that Mu Qing had fallen into a peaceful sleep.

"Thank you, Imperial Physician!" Hu Xin'er asked gratefully, "When will my husband wake up?"

"This..." The imperial physician was unsure and only advised: "As long as you take the medicine on time, you will wake up one day."

Does that mean there's a high chance he won't wake up?

Hu Xiner's heart was chilled, and from then on she took care of her husband without taking off her clothes.

Mu Qing was unconscious and couldn't take the medicine, so she drank it herself and fed it to him mouthful by mouthful.

During this time, Erdong brought good news: "The comic book about the nanny dad has been printed. How are you going to sell it?"

Hu Xin'er had no intention of doing business at this moment: "You and the Princess can handle it!"

Erdong didn't understand this, so he had to go find the eldest princess.

Ever since Erdong misunderstood her, the princess had lost interest in even going to the backyard to listen to music. She hurriedly explained, "What happened that day..."

Erdong directly stated his intention: "What are you going to do with the comics business? Hu Xiner asked me to come to you."

The princess paused and said, "Mu Qing hasn't woken up in a few days. My heart is full of Mu Qing now. Don't distract her anymore. Let's just handle this between the two of us!"

Erdong was very reluctant, but for the sake of business, he could no longer hide from the eldest princess.

At night, the wick that had not been refueled for a long time struggled to burn in the oil bowl.

The handsome man on the bed moved his fingers, then shouted unconsciously: "Water..."

The sound was extremely faint, but Hu Xiner, who was sleeping in front of the bed, woke up immediately. Seeing Mu Qing open his eyes on the bed, she burst into tears of joy.

"How many days have I been unconscious?" Mu Qing asked with difficulty.

Hu Xin'er went to pour water: "Three days and three nights!"

Mu Qing looked at her haggard appearance and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Thank you for your hard work, Xin'er."

Hu Xin'er didn't care: "As long as you're okay!"

After drinking the water, Mu Qing slowly said, "I dreamed of many things while I was unconscious. The woman in the small statue is the mother in my memory."

As he spoke, he pulled out the soft blade from his waist. "This is what my mother gave me. I only remember that she seemed to be dying, spitting blood. She handed the dagger to me and told me to live well, and then she died."

Other than that, he doesn't remember anything.

Hu Xiner fell into deep thought. It seemed that Mu Qing was really not Lu Yunjue.

She comforted Mu Qing: "Don't think too much, just take care of your health first!"

Mu Qing looked at her: "Xin'er, I want to hug you and sleep for a while..."

Hu Xiner snuggled into his arms and gradually fell asleep.

Because I had been sleepy for many days, I slept particularly soundly that night.

But when she woke up, she found that there was no one beside her pillow, Mu Qing was gone!
