Fortunately, no one died. Zhao Liang asked people to rest on the spot, set up a tent for Mu Bo, and asked the military doctor to check his wounds.

The assassin's sword was aimed at Mu Bo's heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and avoided the vital point, but the sword still stabbed very deep.

Mu Bo had fainted, and the military doctor, sweating profusely, helped him stop the bleeding and suture the wound.

In all his years as a military doctor, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Every once in a while, the military commander would be assassinated.

We haven't even reached halfway yet, and the current situation will definitely delay our progress. What should we do for the rest of the journey?

"How is the fifth prince?"

Zhao Liang turned around anxiously. The military doctor kept working on stitching up the wound on Mu Bo's chest, but his face looked very bad.

"General Zhao, to be honest, the Fifth Prince is seriously injured and it is definitely not suitable for him to travel in the short term. You should quickly think of a place for him to recuperate!"

Zhao Liang frowned after hearing this and could only ask someone to find a carriage to take Mu Bo to Qiu County.

The large army marched forward in a huge procession. When the magistrate of Qiu County heard that the team heading to the northwest was coming, he was so frightened that he hurried out of the city gate to greet them.

This is a team led by the fifth prince. If they are negligent and get beheaded, it will be a waste of time and effort.

He had already prepared a welcoming banquet, but when he met Zhao Liang, he was told that the fifth prince had been assassinated and injured, and he was asked to find a quiet courtyard to recuperate.

In such a hurry, there was no suitable yard to be found, so the first thing the magistrate of Qiu County thought of was his own home.

So he quickly sent someone home to inform his wife, asking her to pack up quickly and prepare to welcome the fifth prince.

Zhao Liang did not allow everyone to enter Qiu County. More than 100,000 people is not a small number. If they all entered the county, it would only cause panic among the people.

So he ordered the main force to find a wide area outside Qiu County to set up camp, while he took a team of people to protect Mu Bo and went to the home of Qiu County Magistrate.

The magistrate of Qiu County was named Qiu, and Qiu County was named because most of the population had the same surname.

Mrs. Qiu received the message at the last minute, and hurriedly took her maid to clean the house. She also had someone tidy up the hospital, and from that day on, she and County Magistrate Qiu lived in the side courtyard.

Miss Qiu just came of age in early spring this year. The young and beautiful girl was warned by her mother to stay in her own yard when she had nothing to do and was not allowed to go to the main courtyard.

She had seen him from afar when Mu Bo came, but had never seen his face, and she never saw him again after that.

Recently, a prince has been living in the house, and the security of the entire courtyard has been increased a lot. Teams of unfamiliar guards patrol by every once in a while, making Miss Qiu a little nervous.

That day, the little maid happily brought back a bowl of bird's nest from the kitchen. As soon as she entered the room, she said, "Miss, come quickly! The kitchen stewed bird's nest today, saying that it was made for that noble lady. The noble lady gave a bowl as a gift to the lady, but the lady was reluctant to eat it, so she asked the maid to bring it to you!"

A bowl of twisted bird's nest was placed in front of Miss Qiu. Miss Qiu blinked and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Where's my mother?"

"Madam is in the kitchen watching the newly hired cook cook!"

Ever since a prince moved into the house, the food, drinks and daily necessities have become much more refined than before.

Several more servants were hired for the house, including two more cooks in the kitchen.

Of course, the family does not have to pay for this money. Miss Qiu feels that the prince is quite humane in this regard.

Miss Qiu picked up the bird's nest and ate it in small bites. Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't eaten braised pork elbow for a while, and she didn't know if she could eat it in the next few days.

It is said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Mrs. Qiu also thought of Miss Qiu's desire to eat pork elbow.

Watching the cook busying around, Mrs. Qiu smiled and ordered, "Make a dish of braised pork elbow for lunch today! Your Excellency needs to take care of his body after being injured. He must eat something good."

"Okay, ma'am!"

The cook agreed with a smile, and after finishing the work in her hands, she stood up to check the medicine she was making for the nobleman. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she trembled her fingers, and some fine powder fell into the medicine jar.

The bubbling medicinal juice instantly devoured the powder, leaving only bursts of bitter medicinal smell floating in the air with the hot steam.

……

General House

After several days of detoxification, the toxins in Xiao Ruge's body have been almost cleared, and the remaining two points of toxicity can be detoxified by taking medicine.

The poison in Mu Gu's body had long been cleared, and because Bian Zhou had completely stimulated the medicinal properties of the black-spotted dragon beard grass in his body, his power increased dramatically.

Today was the last time to take a medicinal bath. Afterwards, Mu Gu held Xiao Ruge and changed her clothes.

Because the toxins were almost cleared, Xiao Ruge's skin returned to normal. Even the arm that was most seriously injured was no longer as dark as before.

"I had someone make you a new set of clothes a few days ago. Today is a good time to try them on and see if they fit you."

Mu Gu, like before, would talk to Xiao Ruge non-stop whenever he was alone with her, and he never got tired of it even if he got no response.

"I know you like light-colored materials, but I think this crabapple-colored bellyband is also very beautiful. I specially asked the embroiderer to embroider crabapple flowers on the chest. I'll put it on you!"

The unconscious Xiao Ruge's body was soft and she was unusually docile. Mu Gu liked her very much and gently put on the crabapple-colored bellyband for her.

Her snow-white skin looked even more creamy against the crabapple-colored fabric. Mu Gu couldn't let go of her. Even though she was already wearing pajamas, he couldn't help but kiss her smooth shoulders again and again.

After kissing enough, Mu Gu snuggled into Xiao Ruge's neck and gently sniffed the herbal scent on her body. He couldn't help but let out his depressed mood, and his arms around Xiao Ruge tightened unconsciously.

"Ruge, when are you going to wake up? I really miss the way you glared at me and hit me. Look, I've bullied you like this, why aren't you waking up yet?"

Warm tears wet the skin on Xiao Ruge's neck. Mu Gu didn't seem to notice and just held Xiao Ruge in his arms.

From the time they were poisoned to now, both Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu have lost a lot of weight. Xiao Ruge had a small frame to begin with, and now she is even thinner and smaller.

Just when Mu Gu was feeling extremely sad, a hand suddenly and gently stroked his head, so lightly that it seemed weightless.

"You're such a grown-up, why are you still crying?"

The faint voice reached Mu Gu's ears, causing him to open his eyes wide in shock, fearing that all this was just his imagination.

"I'm thirsty."

These three words finally woke Mu Gu up and made him sure that all this was true.

Xiao Ruge woke up!

"Ruge, you, you woke up!"

There was undisguised excitement in his voice, and Mu Gu couldn't help but tremble slightly.
