Chapter 59 Alive!

“Ah! So ugly! Just as Eighth Princess says, she looks really scary!” A woman with a round face in a peach-pink silk dress screamed in horror.

“Was it she who deliberately drowned you in water in Shunyang prefecture? What a vicious woman!” A woman in blue also put on a scared look.

“Don’t say that about my eldest sister. She was just joking with me.”

“How could anyone joke about life?!”

Before Su Muge could swallow down the snack, she had been surrounded by a swarm of chattering young women.

No doubt, they were headed by Su Jingwen, her younger sister who was hard on her.

The young ladies were looking at Su Muge as if she were a beast in the zoo, making her really upset.

“Don’t say that. My eldest sister has been praised by the Emperor for her medical skills…” Su Jingwen’s said so for no reason, making the noble ladies even angrier.

It was known to all that the Emperor’s award was a great honor. But how could this ugly and vicious woman receive it?

“Eldest sister, you must be boring here alone. Why not join us and have fun?” Su Jingwen’s came forward with a sisterly look, showing as well a hint of fear in her eyes looking at Su Muge.

In the eyes of others, she seemed to have an instinctive fear as if she had been bullied and oppressed by Su Muge for a long time.

Now she was acting. But Su Muge had a talent to do so, too.

She secretly pinched her palms, and her eyes turned red instantly. Then she looked at Su Jingwen with a flattered look.

“Really? That’s so great!”

Su Jingwen just wanted to lead these noble ladies to laugh at her. How would she be willing to get her acquainted with them!

For a moment, the smile on her face turned stiff.

“Here comes Eighth Princess! Ah, Ninth Princess is here, too!”

With a shout in the crowd, everyone immediately turned around and looked back.

Su Jingwen had no time to deal with Su Muge. She turned around and stepped forward.

Su Muge raised her eyes slightly and saw Eighth Princess in a pale-pinkish-grey gauze dress, followed by Ninth Princess in a nattier-blue dress who especially summoned her the other day.

Su Muge had no good impression on these two princesses; she just wanted to take this opportunity to walk around in the capital.

“Pay my respects to you, Eighth Princess, Ninth Princess.”

Eighth Princess sat down on the first seat, with a pair of vigorous eyes raising slightly, revealing a royal air of arrogance.

Nine Princess sat down beside her, with a much more indifferent look, as if everything around had nothing to do with her. However, she was searching through the crowd, as if she were looking for something.

“Get up. I’ve been quite boring in the palace these days and just want to come out to relax. There is no need to be restrained.”

Like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars, Eighth Princess had been clustered round in no time.

“That, is that’s Second Prince over there?”

“Second Prince. It’s really His Royal Highness!”

With coquettish sounds on the barge, the noble girls who were just around Eighth Princess all turned their languishing eyes to the boat opposite to theirs.

Out of curiosity Su Muge looked up to the other side, only to see faintly a familiar slender figure.

“Bang-bang”

“Fireworks! Look, it’s a display of fireworks!”

Suddenly, the fireworks exploded in the sky, attracting everyone’s attention.

Su Muge also looked into the sky, wondering why someone set off fireworks during the daytime when nothing could be seen.

“It’s across the shore …”

“Look, someone is spreading flowers into the water. Wow, it’s so beautiful!”

“Really! So beautiful! Who is it?”

Hearing this, people on the boat crowded onto the deck to watch the scene of bustle. For a while, the deck was a little chaotic with the noise, making the boat shaking under their feet.

Eighth Princess also walked over to watch the scene of bustle curiously.

“Boom”

“Ninth Princess, are you feeling alright?”

A sharp exclamation suddenly blasted out. Unfortunately, since the fireworks were too loud and the deck was too noisy, few people noticed the situation at all.

Su Muge was originally standing in a less-crowded place. The noble ladies had rushed to the deck, leaving even larger space around her.

On hearing the sound, she turned to look for the source and found Ninth Princess who had been sitting in the chair just now was curling up and covering her chest in a painful look.

“Hurry up! It’s Ninth Princess’s heart attack. Go and get her medicine!” The palace girl beside her shouted.

“The medicine, I haven’t brought it with me. Go and find the imperial doctor right away!”

At this time, Second Prince Xia Houkun, who was standing on another boat, looked at the people scattering flowers on the water with a frown and turned to his follower. “Go and find out what happened there.”

“Yes.”

Su Muge found that the noble ladies dared not come forward anymore after seeing the princess’ symptoms, for fear of getting into trouble.

Curling up in her chair Ninth Princess was increasingly breathless. Last time when she saw the princess in the Imperial Palace, Su Muge had noticed her abnormal complexion.

Su Muge looked at her lips gradually turning purple and frowned. Without much hesitation, she pushed the crowd aside and went forward.

As a doctor, she wouldn’t stand watching a living life to perish in front of her.

“Who are you? What are you doing?”

The maid beside Ninth Princess looked at her with alert.

“I can maintain her life until you get the medicine.”

The maid was stunned, and before she could speak, Su Muge stepped forward and held Ninth Princess’s hand.

Just as she felt her pulse, the princess had a sudden heart arrest!

With her pupils narrowed, Su Muge held up Ninth Princess from the chair and laid her flat on the ground.

“You, what are you doing to Ninth Princess!”

At this time, the people watching the scene on the deck were finally aware of the situation here.

“Ah! What happened to Ninth Princess?”

Soon, many people gathered around.

In the crowd, Su Jingwen looked suspiciously at Su Muge who was half-kneeling beside Ninth Princess, wondering what she was doing.

“Is Nine Princesses hit by a heart attack?”

“I’m afraid so. Who, who is that? What is she doing to Ninth Princess?”

Hearing this, Su Jingwen came to realize that Su Muge intended to rescue Ninth Princess. Who did she think she was? Didn’t she know that she was saving a princess?

She actually thought her medical skills excellent?

But if Ninth Princess had any unexpected misfortune, Su Muge would be doomed! At the thought of this, Su Jingwen secretly felt pleased.

“Extend her body.” Su Muge said with a serious look. Now encountered with a sudden cardiac arrest, she had to be given an emergent cardiac resuscitation right away, otherwise, the princess would die.

“What the hell are you doing to Ninth Princess?”

“She has stopped breathing now. Without emergency aid, she could only die.” Su Muge’s eyes were calm, but her words made the maid paralyzed.

“What? Ninth, Ninth Princess, stopped, stopped breathing …” The maid reached out her trembling fingers under the princess’s nose with her whole body stiffened instantly.

Ninth Princess, really, really had no, no breath!

“Really, really has no breath …” The maid was horrified.

Seeing that no one dared to come forward and help, Su Muge could only lay down Ninth Princess’s body quickly, clenched her hands and compressed her chest several times, but her heartbeat showed no signs of recovering.

She compressed her external chest repeatedly with her hands overlapped.

“Ninth Princess has no breath. You, what are you doing!” The maid was shocked to see Su Muge’s action.

“What? Ninth Princess has no breath?”

“Ah, so scary!”

Hearing that Princess Nine was dead, all the people present were pale and scared and even dared not to look at the person lying on the ground.

“Within a minute after cardiac arrest, there is a good chance to rescue her.”

Su Muge didn’t stop external chest compression on Ninth Princess; instead, she pushed over and over again. She looked calm and serious as if nothing could disturb her.

Xia Houkun, standing on the deck of the other boat, noticed the situation here.

These noble ladies had always been dignified with suitable decorum in front of people. Such a mess was actually rare.

“Send someone to see what happened over there.”

“Yes, right away.”

A few minutes later, the guard who went to inquire about the information came back.

“What’s up?”

“Second Prince, it is Ninth Princess’s heart attack.”

Hearing this, Xia Houkun frowned. “Let’s go for a look.”

Xia Houkun didn’t want to get into any trouble; but if he took no action, this incident would surely be known by his father, who would definitely feel him too cold-blooded and indifferent to his sister.

“Here comes Second Prince, His Royal Highness.”

“It’s Second Prince, His Royal Highness.”

“His Royal Highness, Ninth Princess, Ninth Princess stopped, stopped breathing …”

Xia Houkun walked into the crowd and saw Su Muge kneeling on the ground and constantly doing the cardiac resuscitation to Ninth Princess.

Her movements were simple and weird and kept repeating.

“What are you doing?” Xia Houkun asked with a flicker of doubts in his light eyes.

“I’m saving her life.”

Su Muge didn’t look up.

“Save her …”

“My eldest sister, you have no grudge against Ninth Princess. Now that Ninth Princess has passed away, why are you still holding on to her? Do you still want to win the favor of His Royal Highness, Second Princess, using Ninth Princess!” Su Jingwen found Xia Houkun’s notice on Su Muge and went forward, choking with sobs.

Her words meant that Su Muge did this not to rescue Ninth Princess, but to steal the spotlight of the public and win Xia Houkun’s attention!

“Eldest sister, Ninth Princess’s heart disease is difficult to cure even for the imperial doctors. Do you think you can really save her?”

How wicked she was to attract attention by the death of a princess!

All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes on Su Muge changed.

Su Muge stayed calm with her hands kept pushing.

Xia Houyin didn’t expect Su Muge to come. Thinking of the previous event, she reached out and pushed her with a flicker of ruthlessness in her expression.

Su Muge lowered her eyes and avoided her hands dexterously.

Xia Houkun’s good-looking dashing eyebrows frowned slightly. Obviously, he agreed with Su Jingwen’s statement to some extent. When he was about to order to take her away, Ninth Princess who had no breath at all suddenly moved.

“Whoo”

“Ha”

Ninth Princess suddenly panted, scaring the nobles to screams.

“She’s alive!”
