CHAPTER 395 (1): DON'T RANDOMLY RUB AGAINST ME

Su Xi-er waved her hand . “Many thanks for the reminder, Imperial Physician Zhao . We shall put a stop to this investigation for now . ” It has now turned into a complicated web . We will deal with the Empress Dowager and Commandery Prince Xie one by one in the future . I won’t let Chao Mu’s death be in vain .  “Miss Xi-er, Commander Wu also came by the Imperial Physician Institute to ask me questions . Since it seems that Prince Hao is also looking into Chao Mu’s death, I hope that you can relay this information to him . ” Imperial Physician Zhao respectfully said . He was already treating Su Xi-er as Princess Consort Hao, not daring to forget his etiquette .

“Don’t worry, Imperial Physician Zhao; I will inform Prince Hao . ”

“This humble subject will take my leave then . ” Imperial Physician Zhao bowed and took out some medicine from his medical box, placing them on the table . “Simmer this medicine for Tan Ge . Her injury will be fine after drinking it . ”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work, Imperial Physician Zhao . ” Su Xi-er took the packet of medicine, preparing to head to the boiler room and hand it to the palace maid waiting upon Tan Ge .

Imperial Physician Zhao then turned to leave the main hall, heading out of the Imperial Library .

Before Su Xi-er reached the boiler room, she saw the palace maid walking out with a bowl of red bean soup . Aware of Su Xi-er’s status, she deferentially bowed and greeted, “Miss Xi-er . ”

“How’s Tan Ge doing?”

The palace maid shook her head . “Her recovery isn’t going well . She’s feeling weak all over, and her complexion looks unhealthy . When I asked her today, she said that her wound still hurts . Her body was originally weak, so it’s already quite a feat for her to survive after getting shot by an arrow . ”

“Simmer this medicine and prepare it for Tan Ge to drink tomorrow . I will bring the red bean soup to her . ” Su Xi-er passed the packet of medicine to the palace maid with one hand, taking the bowl of red bean soup with the other .

The palace maid took the packet of medicine and went back inside the boiler room, leaving Su Xi-er to bring the bowl of red bean soup to Tan Ge’s room .

When Su Xi-er entered the room, Tan Ge was still awake . Thinking that it was the palace maid returning, Tan Ge said, “Just leave it there for now . I’m unable to drink it at the moment . ”

“It’s cold outside, so it’d be better to drink it while it’s hot . ”

Su Xi-er’s voice sent shivers down Tan Ge’s spine . She immediately supported herself against the bed, trying to get up .

“Don’t move, I’ll help you up . ” Su Xi-er set the bowl down before going to help Tan Ge sit up .

“Why did you come back to the Imperial Library? It’s not safe here . What if someone tries to harm you again…” Tan Ge pursed her pallid lips as she looked at Su Xi-er in worry .

“Grand Tutor Kong doesn’t have an estate, so the Imperial Library is his home . As his goddaughter, I have to marry from the Imperial Library . ” Su Xi-er properly tucked Tan Ge under the quilt before standing up and bringing the red bean soup over .

“Open your mouth . ” Su Xi-er blew on the soup and fed it to Tan Ge .

Watching Su Xi-er’s earnest appearance, Tan Ge was slightly moved .  Su Xi-er is so nice to me . Does she really not suspect me at all?

“Su Xi-er, what did Imperial Physician Zhao talk to you about?” Tan Ge softly asked .

“Chao Mu’s death,” Su Xi-er faintly replied .

A trace of agony emerged in Tan Ge’s eyes . “It’s all because of Commandery Prince Xie, but he’s so powerful . How can we make him pay for killing Chao Mu?”

“We’ll consider this matter over and done with . Tan Ge, you should leave the imperial palace, and flee to a faraway place . That way, you’ll be able to break free of Commandery Prince Xie . ” Su Xi-er didn’t tell her that not pursuing Chao Mu’s death was only temporary .
