Su Muqing saw that Madam Zhou had come out. Her face showed some embarrassment.
"I, I just wanted to give you something to taste. I didn't mean to peek. No... I wasn't peeking at you... I just heard someone talking inside. I heard you crying. So I was preparing to leave and come back later! It's not..." Su Muqing gestured with the chocolate in her hand, trying to explain herself quickly.
She was afraid Madam Zhou would misunderstand her as prying into someone else's privacy! But she felt like she was digging herself deeper. That wasn't what she meant at all, but the way she said it made it sound different?
Unexpectedly, Madam Zhou didn't care about her explanation. Instead, she grabbed her hand with tears in her eyes and pulled her into the room. Then she quickly closed the door! "Miss Su, it's you, isn't it? You have a way to save him, right?" After speaking, she knelt down towards her.
Su Muqing: ??? What was wrong with these ancient people? Why did they like kneeling so much? Couldn't they just talk things through?
"Auntie! Pfft~, no, madam... please get up quickly. You are so much older than me, how can you kneel to me? Get up, get up quickly." Su Muqing, startled, quickly pulled Madam Zhou up.
During this push and pull, the chocolate, which had already been unwrapped, was melted by their heightened emotions and body heat! However, neither of them noticed it at the moment.
After Su Muqing pulled Madam Zhou up, she subconsciously looked around the room. Only then did she see a person lying on the bed. His limbs were being held down by several other people, and his body was still trembling slightly. The hair that had fallen by the bedside was all white. She assumed he must be a very old man.
At such an old age, he still required so many people to subdue him! He really was strong for his age!
Wait, something was wrong! With so many people, how could they bully one old man? It seemed Madam Zhou couldn't stand it and was crying because she couldn't help!
Madam Zhou: It was true that she couldn't help, but it wasn't exactly because she couldn't stand it!
Pulled by Madam Zhou to the bedside, this was Su Muqing's first time seeing Huo Qiyuan.
She almost screamed and cheered! Realizing the environment was not suitable, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. The melted chocolate smeared all over her face, her mouth area was black.
Su Muqing also realized something was wrong. She opened her palm and looked! Oh my goodness~ She quickly stuck out her tongue and licked the chocolate around her mouth into her mouth. Ugh, ugh, ugh... Quickly wipe it clean with her sleeve!
Huo Qiyuan, who was enduring a fate worse than death due to the potent poison and was on the verge of suffocation from the fiery flame fruit, vaguely saw a young girl in his daze. However, this young girl... was rather indescribable.
Her face was covered in dark mud, black and messy. What was most incomprehensible was that the young girl then stuck out her tongue and ate the mud around her mouth...
It looked a bit... disgusting!
Huo Qiyuan was stunned on the spot. He even forgot the pain in his body at that moment! What kind of monster was this? Or had he already died? Otherwise, why would he see a ghost eating mud?
Madam Zhou and the others thought Su Muqing was frightened by Huo Qiyuan's appearance. Xu Fu felt a little displeased, thinking her behavior was too improper. He also felt that Madam Zhou shouldn't have let the young master's face be seen without understanding the girl's character!
One should know that the dog emperor, this hypocrite, to show his benevolence, had never confirmed the young master's death. He had said that if he was alive, he must be seen, and if he was dead, his body must be produced. He had also issued sea arrest warrants to various prefectures and counties. He had hypocritically stated that even if Huo Qiyuan was caught, he would only be confined, not punished, and that a trace of the Huo family's bloodline would be preserved!
Anyone who discovered Huo Qiyuan would be rewarded with silver. This was clearly wanting people across the country to catch the young master. Such ruthless pursuit was simply unforgivable!
Fortunately, the young master had been in the army for a long time, and due to the poison, his appearance and hair color had changed considerably. However, he still had his former looks. If she saw the portrait of the young master on the sea arrest warrant in the future, it was impossible to guarantee that she wouldn't betray the young master!
If Su Muqing knew what Xu Fu was thinking at this moment, she would definitely shout three times, you're overthinking it! Really! Her expression wasn't because she was scared by the man's appearance. It was because she was struck by his handsome face!
Wow! Her dog eyes were truly blinded! This was not an old man at all! This was a true male god! Although he didn't look his best at the moment.
This head of silver hair was like a celestial being from the heavens! His handsome face, rosy and slightly sweaty. His lips, bright red, with dark red bloodstains on them.
And those slightly red, watery eyes, and the small tear mole at the corner of his upward-curving eyes. Together, they were devastatingly sexy!
