Bride of the Dragon Emperor

A beautiful woman in coral-reef robes was rushing her way to her emerald courtyard. Her brows were wrinkled and lines appeard in the middle. Her lips tight. There was a sign of Impatience on her beautiful face.

The moment she reached emerald courtyard, she was greeted by the fresh look of green colors painted in every single part of the house.

She ignored all the servants' greetings and directly went inside Muyue's sleeping chamber.

As soon as she sees the woman coming, the girl at the bed quickly called out to her in a rush tone. Her voice raspy and shaky "Mother!"

Hearing the pitiful voice of the girl, Liang Murong rushed to her side and gently hold her hand. Her face was full of worry as she stare at the almost crying girl infront. "My poor Yue-er" she gently rubbed the girl's delicate hands with hers.

"Mother.." Seeing a tears falling down from her eye, she immediately raise her hand to wipe it with her handkerchief "Don't cry, mother's here"

After comforting the girl, she turned her gaze at the doctor who is standing at the corner of the room. "Doctor, wha-what is muyue's condition? I-is the injury serious?"

"To respond Lady Liang, Young Miss Liang's injury was caused by scalding. Not only her hands,but it also affect a large part of her leg. Luckily, the temperature of the tea was lower than the water's normal boiling point, thus it only affect the outer layer of the skin.

The severity of the symptoms depends on the seriousness of the burn. Thus, one will only experience redness on the affected skin, swelling, and pain."

The woman glanced at the pitiful girl then looked at the girl's burns on her leg.

There formed three big swelling skin that looked like scary red ballons.

"Though this was just a superficial burn, scalds can be painful and dangerous. So, a proper treatment should be applied through the whole medication."

The doctor then further discussed the proper treatment of the injury. After giving the prescription, the servants escorted him towards the entrance and left.

Now that it was only Liang Murong, Muyue and a servant named Shu-er were left in the room, they quickly engage in a serious talk with hush voices.

Liang Murong straightened her back and faced Muyue with a serious expression. "Yue-er, tell mother what exactly happened at the main hall? Why were you splashed by the hot tea?"

With a guilty expression, Muyue bowed her head and pursed her lips. With a pitiful face she raised her head and looked at her godmother. Then, she started crying.

"*sob* Mother!!!!
