Mu Yunyao felt even more wronged when she heard Su Qing's words. She directly pulled the blanket over her head and laid down on the bed, wrapping herself in a cocoon.
Only then did Mu Yunyao pull back the blanket, revealing a pair of eyes as she said rather pitifully, "I want to."
"Quickly get up. Although you are not allowed to bathe, you still have to wash your hands before eating."
Knowing that Su Qing was worried, Mu Yunyao didn't insist. After she finished eating the Eight Treasures Rice and drank a bowl of soup, she was forced to lie on the bed.
It was unknown if it was because she had slept too much in the day, but at night she became more energetic and could not fall asleep. Su Qing originally wanted to stay by the bed and watch over her, but she was finally persuaded by Mu Yunyao to return.
Mu Yunyao looked at the window. She couldn't help but think about the ice lamp from last night. Had it melted? It was a pity for that adorable, innocent cat ...
When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt that something was wrong with the window, as if a warm light had lit up the window.
Mu Yunyao got up and put on her clothes, then walked to the window and opened it. She saw that there was a rabbit lamp with a candle around it on the edge of the window. The light was warm and swayed with the wind, but it didn't extinguish.
In the outer room, Jin Lan heard movement in the room and quickly asked softly, "Miss, do you have any orders?"
Mu Yunyao's hand trembled as she closed the window, "I'm going to get up and drink some water. I'm fine now, rest."
"Yes, Miss, if there's anything you need, feel free to tell me."
"Got it."
The warm light of the ice lamp shone through the window. Mu Yunyao withdrew her gaze and returned to her bed with a calm expression. Not long after, she fell asleep.
The next day, her chills were still as bad as before, and they were much worse than yesterday. This worried Su Qing, so she went to invite Dr. Zhang Chun to come over and change the flavor of the medicine for a few more days.
Mu Yunyao knew her own condition, but if she persisted in drinking the medicine, she might cause Su Qing to become anxious. Thus, she forced herself to drink the bitter medicine.
Jin Qiao brought over a charcoal bowl. Jin Lan slightly opened the window a crack and took a breath of charcoal from the room."Miss, I don't know why, but there were water stains on the window sill today. Your servant saw that the snow hadn't melted, so how could there be water stains?"
"Maybe he didn't do it yesterday."
Being sick with a bad appetite and having to drink medicine, Mu Yunyao felt bitter in her mouth and didn't want to eat anything. However, she forced herself to eat more for the sake of An Su Qing's heart.
Nightfall, Mu Yunyao was lying on her bed, tossing and turning. After a while, she suddenly heard some movement by the window. She got off the bed, put on her clothes and walked over, but unfortunately, she could only see the cold lights and no one.
This time, it was actually a galloping horse ice lamp. The horse's hooves were raised into a hiss shape, giving it an exceptionally handsome appearance.
Mu Yunyao's eyes darkened as she lightly sighed. After holding the ice lamp for a while, she closed the window.
Every night for the next ten days or so, an ice lamp would appear at the window. She carefully counted everything except for the cat that was given to her on the first night.
But that night, Mu Yunyao waited for a long time, but didn't see the appearance of the ice lamp. It wasn't until the horizon lit up with faint light that she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep.
When Jin Lan saw Mu Yunyao's appearance, she was even more worried in her heart, "Didn't Miss get better yesterday? Why does it look so serious today? "
Mu Yunyao shook her head. Her gaze fell by the window, and her eyes were calm without the slightest ripple: King Yue must have finally given up, right? Since that was the case, she could now feel at ease.
Suppressing the disappointment in her heart, Mu Yunyao's heart once again returned to its calm state. It was just that there had been a ripple before, how could it be the same as before? It was just that she hadn't discovered it yet.
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the Garden of Embroidery is about to open. Are all the lanterns and the like ready?"
Jin Lan hurriedly nodded."Miss, this servant will go take a look. Steward Qin, you have already prepared everything according to your orders."
Mu Yunyao nodded her head, "That's good. Tomorrow is the opening day of the new year, so naturally we have to be lively and lively."
"Yes, look at the color of the sky today. Tomorrow is a good day, so we'll definitely be able to get something good."
Jin Lan was a little worried about her body."Miss, your current cold is not too good. Master Cao and Madam Jin have also sent word that you should rest well. Why don't we wait until after you've recovered?" They appreciate me out of affection, but no matter what, I still have to pay my respects during the Lantern Festival. This is my filial piety, but I am sick right now, so I shouldn't stay too long with my foster mother.
"It won't worsen the condition."
"Yes, then this servant will go down now to count the gifts."
"Go."
Within the embroidered garden, Zhang Chun carefully helped the King to bandage his hands, "Your highness needs to take extra care to recuperate. As of now, it's not easy to heal your wounds in the winter, in two days you'll have to ride back to the west of Guangdong. If your wounds aren't healed, who knows how much pain you'll suffer along the way."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
"Your Highness is too polite, I will take my leave."
Steward Qin brought the food over, and upon seeing King Yue's appearance he could not help but feel his heart ache: "Prince, how could you accidentally injure your hand? The wound is so deep, you can even see the bone.
"It was just a moment of carelessness. Uncle Qin, there's no need to worry."
"This old servant has been serving master for many years, how could I not worry? Please do not carve that ice sculpture for now. If Miss Mu likes it, this old servant will buy a few for you to choose and send over."
The prince had carved an ice sculpture in the daytime and sent it over in the dead of night. He was afraid that if someone found out, he would have to retrieve it before daybreak. After tormenting himself for so long, he had lost all his weight.
"She's sick now, so it's not convenient for her to go out and enjoy the scenery. I was just looking at her pitiful appearance and having earned so much money for us, so I thought of a way to let her enjoy it a little."
"Yes, the prince has always been kind-hearted."
Yu Yi, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but raise his head and silently grin. If one were to say that the prince was kind and benevolent, those people on the western border of Guangdong province who turned into bones would probably jump up and shout in disapproval!
Yue Yang solemnly nodded his head: "Alright." Steward Qin withdrew himself and looked in the direction of the Su residence. He sighed and comforted himself with the thought, "Good things are always hard to come by. Good things are always hard to come by ..."
