The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife: The Sly Lady - Chapter 224

Chapter 224

Taking off one of her hairpins, Murong Xue reached for the silver needles set within before inserting them into the man’s acupoints and turning them gently .

After a while, the man stopped frothing at the mouth, his eyes coming back to normal, and his body stopped cramping . “Thank you very much, Miss!” He stared at Murong Xue with his bright eyes after regaining his eyesight, and his voice was weak but filled with sincerity .

“You are welcome . Since you are suffering from a serious disease, I will provide a prescription . You will recover gradually if you take one dose per day . . . ” Murong Xue chuckled .

An almost imperceptible strange light skimmed across the man’s dark eyes . “You can cure epilepsy?” He had visited various eminent doctors, but all his efforts were in vain . . .

“To some degree!” Murong Xue smiled . Epilepsy, incurable in ancient times, was treatable in modern society . When learning poisoning, she also gained some insight into the treatment of some common and special diseases, including epilepsy .

“However, considering the serious wound on your head, it will take such a long time for you to completely recover . ”

The man squinted at Murong Xue . “How did you know my head used to be badly injured?”

Murong Xue smiled . “Epilepsy can be divided into two kinds, the congenital kind and the kind induced by the wound on head . Since you’re strong, and your heartbeat is forceful enough, your epilepsy must have been caused by the wound . ”

“What a smart girl . ” The man, staring at Murong Xue, nodded with admiration . “Since I must leave now for some important affairs, I will visit you in acknowledgement of your assistance and get the prescription some other day . Take care!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man hurried forward before disappearing in the alley nearby in a moment . . .

“I haven’t told him the address yet . Does he know where to find me?” Murong Xue frowned at his receding figure .

“He should have known it already . Even if he hasn’t, it will be easy for him to figure out . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left without hesitation . . . ” Ouyang Shaochen stared at the alley where the man disappeared, a meaningful gleam skimming across his eyes . . .

“There are thick calluses on his right hand, his eyes were filled with august aura typical for a veteran fighting on the battlefield . However, the aura has been diluted, which might be a proof of his leaving the army years ago . Given his epilepsy and the top-level Qing kung . . . It’s highly possible that he, like General Lu and Qi, used to be a soldier leaving the army for his serious injury . . . ” Murong Xue murmured .

Ouyang Shaochen nodded lightly, his eyes as dark as a fathomless lake . “Maybe . . . ” 

“Ouyang Shaochen, Murong Xue, I have been searching for you for such a long time . ” Mu Liufeng complained while coming over in vigorous strides, his ebony robe fluttering in the wind, well matching his inborn elegance and evil charm!

Catching a glimpse of Murong Xue’s delicate cherry lips, he frowned a little . “Murong Xue, what happened to your swelling lips?”

Murong Xue stroked her slightly swollen lips before answering in anger, her eyes gleaming unnaturally, “It’s a mosquito bite!”

“Are there mosquitoes in such a windy place?” Mu Liufeng, looking around at the streets extending in all directions, didn’t believe her words at all .

“There were mosquitoes before the wind started blowing . ” Murong Xue prevaricated . In case he would continue the topic, she added in a hurry, “What do you want us for?”

“There is something for you!” Mu Liufeng, ignoring the previous topic, was ready to reveal his surprise . He took his hand out from behind his back, on whose palm there was a snow-white rabbit with two long ears, fat and lovely .

“Where did you get it?” A wisp of gleam skimmed across Murong Xue’s eyes .

“I bought it from a hunter on the street forward, who had hunted many rabbits . I picked the most lovely one for you!” Mu Liufeng chuckled while stuffing the rabbit in Murong Xue’s hand .

“Thank you!” Murong Xue said with a smile before turning to the rabbit who was staring at her blankly with its round eyes . Its cuteness nearly made her heart melt .  

Standing in front of Murong Xue, Mu Liufeng was stroking the rabbit’s ears and head happily . They were really like a couple looking after the rabbit together .

With his handsome face turning slightly sullen, Ouyang Shaochensaid coldly, “As exhausted as we are, we intend to go home to have a rest . Please help yourself, Mu Liufeng . ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Shaochen snatched Murong Xue’s wrist before dragging her away in big strides .  

Catching up with them, Mu Liufeng said smilingly, “Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well pay a visit to Lord Freedom’s Mansion with you . . . ”

“We don’t have time to entertain guests,” Ouyang Shaochen retorted coldly, his pace quickening .

Not minding at all, Mu Liufeng chuckled . “It doesn’t matter . I can walk around by myself . By the way, I haven’t been there for many days . . . ”

“I don’t want to be bothered during my rest . You can go there later . ” Ouyang Shaochen said coldly before making a signal . Two invisible guards suddenly turned up, blocking Mu Liufeng’s way .

Watching Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue’s figures gradually fading into distance, Mu Liufeng shouted anxiously, “Ouyang Shaochen, I used to visit the mansion when you were resting . How come I have never heard that you don’t want to be bothered before . . .

“I have developed a new habit . Isn’t it okay?” Ouyang Shaochen cast a glimpse of him with his eyes full of arrogance!

Mu Liufeng was speechless . The Lord Freedom’s Mansion was his home, where he could do everything he wanted . What a stubborn and arrogant man!

Dragged forward by Ouyang Shaochen in a tremendous speed, Murong Xue, not being able to catch up with him, went out of breath gradually . “Stop, stop . . . Ouyang Shaochen, even if you are craving for a rest at home, it’s not necessary to walk this fast!”

Ouyang Shaochen stopped before lowering his head to look at Murong Xue, “Are you tired?”

She nodded, saying angrily, “Knowing nothing about Qing Kung, of course I would feel tired . ”

“Then why are you still holding this rabbit? Throw it away . You will feel better . ” As Ouyang Shaochen said, he took the rabbit away from her arms by snatching its long ears before pitching it to the crowd with a quick flick of his wrist . . .

“Ouyang Shaochen, what are you doing?” Murong Xue, with a cold gleam skimming across her eyes, removed his hand from her wrist with all her strength before dashing towards the crowd . With pedestrians coming and going on the street, the rabbit had already disappeared without a trace . . .
