Chapter 64: Another Beloved Concubine

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She indeed looked like a spoiled concubine.

Xia Muqing took a step forward and asked politely, “Miss, what’s the matter?”

Lady Tie raised her head and her phoenix eyes darted to Xia Muqing. “That’s it?”

Xia Muqing was speechless.

She was the first to make her stand clear. “If you’re here because of rumors, don’t worry. I’m not interested in your king.”

Lady Tie widened her eyes and looked at Xia Muqing hesitantly, as if she was testing the authenticity of her words.

Xia Muqing graciously allowed her to scrutinize her.

Lady Tie finally smiled and said, “At least you’re smart.”

Only then did Xia Muqing realize that she had a pair of beautiful dimples when she smiled.

Xia Muqing felt an urge and wanted to touch them.

Lady Tie had already quickly retracted her smile.

Xia Muqing felt a little regretful. Thinking of the jewelry Ye Qingxuan had just given her, she waved her hand and gave her a box of jewelry.

Lady Tie stared blankly at her, not knowing what to do.

She mumbled a thank you softly.

Xia Muqing only found her adorable and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek.

Lady Tie acted like an innocent girl who had been teased. She covered her face and said, “You, what are you doing!”

After shouting, she rushed off and didn’t even wait for her maids.

The servants exchanged glances with one another. Finally, they bowed to Xia Muqing and ran after her.

Xia Muqing laughed out in amusement. She felt that Ye Qingxuan had a good taste in picking women. These two girls were quite cute.

She strode to Ye Qingxuan’s room.

After applying the needles as usual, she said, “Your Highness, this is the last acupuncture treatment. Next, you can slowly try walking and restoring your calf muscles. However, the poison in your body has not been completely purged. You still need a medicinal herb, the Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus.”

Ye Qingxuan wanted to give instructions but was stopped by Xia Muqing.

She said, “The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus is rather special. It needs to be taken immediately after plucking it to achieve the effect of detoxification.”

What she meant was for Ye Qingxuan to retrieve the snow lotus himself.

Ye Qingxuan arched his eyebrow and nodded.

Xia Muqing nodded in satisfaction at the sight of such an obedient patient.

She continued, “There’s no hurry. The poison has already been extracted and transferred to your skin. It won’t damage your internal organs. You should practice walking slowly first. After your legs have recovered, you can go and get the snow lotus.”

Ye Qingxuan nodded.

Xia Muqing returned to the courtyard and saw that the black eagle who had just returned.

The black eagle reported to her excitedly about what it had gathered.

It was true that a spirit treasure would be unearthed in the mountain range, but the exact details were unknown. The location was in the depths of the Sunset Mountains, so no matter what it was, it would be an extraordinary treasure.

Xia Muqing nodded. As long as there was a chance, she had to try.

Every time a spirit treasure was about to appear in the mountain range, a natural barrier would appear in the periphery of the mountain range. Once the time was up, the barrier would be opened and everyone could enter. At that time, it would all depend on their skills.

Now that the barrier had appeared, no one knew when it would open.

Xia Muqing thought that since the treatment with Ye Qingxuan had been completed, she could set off now that the Xia family was the only thing left.

She sent a few secret guards from the King’s residence to investigate the situation between Prince Yu and the Xia family.

When Prince Yu found out that Xia Muqing had really been taken in by Ye Qingxuan, although he felt that it was a pity, he didn’t dare to snatch her from a tiger.

He had no choice but to look for the Xia family again.

Prince Yu insisted that the Xia family had to compensate him with a girl.

Xia Jingtian still treasured Xia Churan very much, and so he rejected him firmly. It was obvious that he couldn’t benefit from Prince Yu anymore. He couldn’t give his only precious daughter to him.

Xia Churan had to admit that she was relieved to hear that.
