After leaving the hotel, they returned to the mansion. The wind on the streets was strong in late autumn. Xiao Ruge's body had not fully recovered yet. After being blown by the wind for a while, her head began to hurt.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, Mu Gu noticed the pale face of Xiao Ruge, and immediately reached out to hold her against his chest. He didn't know it until he touched Xiao Ruge's hand, but he found that the person in his arms was incredibly hot.

"Xiaoyu'er, Xiaoyu'er? How are you?"

Mu Gu hurriedly hugged her tightly and kept asking about Xiao Ruge's condition. Xiao Ruge just felt very cold at this time, and her consciousness was blurred and she couldn't respond to Mu Gu's words at all. She just felt that there was a heat source beside her that made her move forward involuntarily.

Mu Gu watched the person in his arms keep jumping towards him, and was a little overwhelmed. If it were normal, Xiao Ruge would not take the initiative to approach him. When people are not sober, they will subconsciously express their deepest feelings. In Mu Gu's view, Xiao Ruge's actions are a sign of dependence on him and a sense of security.

Although he was happy for a moment, he was more worried about Xiao Ruge's health.

Mu Gu didn't hesitate and immediately raised his hand to pick the man up by the waist, then pushed the door open with his elbow. The guards inside the door suddenly became flustered when they saw Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge in his arms.

"Your Majesty, I'll go get the doctor!"

Mu Gu's subordinates were all very smart and sensible. After seeing Xiao Ruge's situation and Mu Gu's request, they immediately took the initiative to leave the mansion and jogged all the way.

Xiao Ruge is the future wife of the prince, so she must not slack off or delay in matters concerning the wife of the prince.

Mu Gu tacitly agreed to the words of his guards and carried Xiao Ruge into the side room.

"Go, get a basin of hot water."

After finishing their daily necessities, the maids would wait together in various areas. The maids waiting at the door of the wing rooms were the most efficient. After seeing Xiao Ruge's flushed face and rapid breathing and Mu Gu's anxious look, and hearing Mu Gu's orders, they immediately went to prepare things.

Mu Gu kicked open the door of the wing room and put the person on the bed. Looking at Xiao Ruge who was frowning in pain, Mu Gu couldn't help but blame himself. It was indeed his fault. Seeing that Xiao Ruge had recovered a lot in the past few days, he thought that Xiao Ruge was fine. But he was still careless. His body had not recovered well, and he was running around so much. He was really worried that Xiao Ruge would develop a chronic illness.

"Dad... Dad! Don't go!"

Xiao Ruge screamed in fear, waving her hands in the air as if trying to grab something. Mu Gu was stunned and quickly held Xiao Ruge's hand. When he saw Xiao Ruge's breathing gradually calming down, Mu Gu also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that the death of General Xiao had always been a pain in Xiao Ruge's heart. General Xiao was harmed by a villain back then, which eventually led to the tragic death of Xiao Ruge's family. Xiao Ruge had to go through a nightmare at that time.

After confirming his relationship with Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu felt sorry for the torture and discomfort she suffered every time she experienced nightmares, so he had been secretly investigating what happened to General Xiao in the past. Unfortunately, there had been little progress, and the problem had not been solved until now.

Mu Gu held Xiao Ruge's hand, relying on the warmth of his palm to give her the strength to fight the nightmare. He bit his cheek tightly. If he couldn't make the woman he loved safe and worry-free, then what kind of man was he? He would be a coward.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yu'er. I will find out who murdered General Xiao and I will clear your family's name."

Perhaps it was because of Mu Gu's words that Xiao Ruge's breathing became completely stable, like a reassurance.

……

"Madam Ling had a fever due to being exposed to too much cold wind. The prince wiped her body in time and the fever has been brought under control.

After that, just press this house and drink the medicine for three days, and you will be cured. "

Mu Gu nodded and handed the prescription handed over by the elderly doctor to his subordinates.

The elderly doctor had always been the doctor hired by Prince Mu Gu's palace. He was familiar with Mu Gu's situation. In addition, Mu Gu treated him with great respect, so Mu Gu was able to listen to what the old doctor said.

"Your Majesty, please do not think I am too talkative. I have checked Madam's pulse. If I am not useless, Madam was poisoned not long ago. It was very serious. She has just recovered a little. There is still some residual poison in her body. You must be careful and do not let Madam catch a cold again."

Mu Gu nodded and took the old doctor's words to heart.

"Thank you, sir. Please go with the guard at the door to collect the silver."

The old doctor bowed slightly, packed up his medicine box and went out. Mu Gu always treated those old men who were sincere or capable with great respect, and the rewards he gave them were always the most generous. This was one of the reasons why Mu Gu was so popular.

Xiao Ruge, who was lying quietly on the bed, had lost her fever and her breathing became smoother, but her hands were still tightly holding Mu Gu, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let go.

Mu Gu also wanted to stay with Xiao Ruge forever, but there was a more important issue at the moment, which was to set a death trap for Xiao Ruge and Xiao Mingyue. Although there was still enough time, Mu Gu was always a person who was loyal to making full preparations in advance.

"Little fish? Little fish?"

Mu Gu called out softly to Xiao Ruge, who had her eyes closed. But how could Xiao Ruge, who was sleeping so soundly, respond to him? After calling her several times, Mu Gu sighed and tried to slowly pull his hand out.

But Xiao Ruge's hands were clasped so tightly that it was almost impossible to pull them back with one hand. Mu Gu took a deep breath and held it, then stretched out his other hand and began to pry Xiao Ruge's fingers apart.

One stick, two sticks, three sticks...

Just as the last finger was about to release, Xiao Ruge, who had been lying quietly, suddenly whimpered. This startled Mu Gu, and he quickly patted Xiao Ruge's shoulder to comfort her.

"Little Fish, be good. I'll be back to accompany you after I finish my work, okay?"

Perhaps Xiao Ruge really heard Mu Gu's words to coax her, she slowly loosened her fingers, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

After all, she is still a young girl. No matter how strong she is outside, she still needs to be coaxed.

Mu Gu's eyes were full of affection. He gently stretched out his slender and white hands and gently rubbed Xiao Ruge's fluffy and soft hair. Looking at her curled up in the quilt like a little cat, his heart almost melted.

His hand moved to Xiao Ruge's shoulder. The shoulder blade was so hard that it felt like there was no flesh attached to it, and it was very uncomfortable to touch.

Mu Gu frowned.

"Still too thin."

He thought that when Xiao Ruge woke up, he would have to ask the kitchen to prepare delicious meals for her every day so that she could recover her health.

But before that, the most important thing is to solve the current trouble for Xiao Ruge.
