Hearing Yue Yang's words, Mu Yunyao frowned, "Fourth Master, the Mausoleum City is quite a distance away from the western part of Cantonese, and the wounds on your body are extremely severe. If we were to depart now, would you still want your life?"
"I have left the west of Cantonese for a long time. I received a message earlier. Servant Yan and the northern border are about to take action. They are scheduled to return in a few days. Time is of the essence." "No way!" Mu Yunyao retorted, "You brought a body full of wounds back to western Guangdong. Not only will you not be able to help, you will also make your subordinates worry for you. If the news were to leak it, then we will let Servant Yun and the people at the northern border know whether or not you can return safely.
"Recuperate. No matter what, you have to heal your injuries by at least fifty percent before leaving."
King Yue raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yunyao before frowning as he said, "I had an injury worse than this before, and in the end I wasn't really hurt ..."
"That was previously due to the irresponsible actions of the doctor by your side. I am the one who is treating your wounds now. Whether or not I can make the long journey is up to me."
"But the situation in western Guangdong is urgent ..."
"The west of Cantonese has a lot of friction all year round. You've been in the west of Cantonese for so many years. Don't tell me that without you, those people under you wouldn't know how to fight?"
Yue Yang pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, not saying another word as he silently assented to Mu Yunyao's decision. Steward Qin quietly left the room, closing the study door behind him. He sighed, [The prince is stubborn, nobody can change his personality as long as he makes up his mind. Furthermore, the west of Guangdong Province is bitter and cold.
Mu Yunyao cleaned the blood off her hands. Looking at her sleeves that were also stained with blood, she frowned."Fourth Master should take good care of it first. I'll go back and change my clothes first. I'll write the prescription later and get someone to boil it and send it over."
Seeing that Mu Yunyao was about to leave, King Yue could not help but speak, "I have already arranged for the salt that we have snatched to temporarily be hidden according to our previous plan. We can only wait until the news has passed before thinking of a way to transport it to other places." Mu Yunyao turned around and saw that the King Yue was staring at her with a clear and cold gaze. There was an undetectable trace of wariness in his eyes which made her heart go soft. She hurriedly withdrew her gaze and said, "Now that we are in the limelight, we can slowly plan for these matters. Fourth Master, please rest first.
"
Mu Yunyao passed through a side door and returned home. Jin Lan and Qin Qiao hurriedly came over. Seeing the blood on her sleeve, they were instantly alarmed."Miss, are you injured?"
"No, I bandaged someone's wound." Returning to her room, Mu Yunyao finished bathing and changed into a new set of clothes. The little Snow Fox jumped onto the soft couch next to her and closed her eyes. Mu Yunyao caressed the Black Fox's smooth fur as her thoughts drifted away. After a long while, she let out a heavy sigh, "If it was before, even if I heard that the Winged King was rushing back to Western Guangdong with a body full of wounds, although I didn't agree, I wouldn't say anything more. But now, hearing that he is going to do this, I can only sigh deeply."
His first reaction was to stop it ...
Although she did not want to admit it, her subconscious reaction could not fool people. In her heart, the Titan King was different from before.
Jin Lan walked in with the box."Miss, the medicine has been prepared."
Mu Yunyao paused as she touched the Snow Fox. She stood up and opened the lid of the food box to examine the soup carefully, "Have several taels of silver to deliver to Supervisor Qin."
"Yes, miss." That night, Su Qing came back from the Nebula Market and couldn't help but talk about the recently reported case of Salt Government."I really don't know who had the guts to kidnap the salt ship by the river. Today, someone came to the Nebula Market to buy clothes and talk about the death of someone on the river."
"Many people have caused a huge commotion..."
When Mu Yunyao heard this, the expression in her eyes slightly moved. Did she die or injure a lot of people ...? Even the King was injured by the arrow, it must be extremely dangerous to be able to snatch the salt boat.
"Yao'er, what happened to you?" She couldn't help but call out to her, "It's all because of mother. To actually talk about this with you, it's really scary after hearing it. I think you're not that spirited in the last two days. After dinner, you should go back and rest early."
"I'm fine. It's just that after listening to mother's words, I wonder who was so capable to snatch away the salt ship?"
"The imperial government will naturally find out about these matters. How can ordinary citizens like us keep our mouths shut? Alright, stop thinking so much. Hurry up and eat something and rest early."
After accompanying Su Qing and finishing her meal, Mu Yunyao had already gone back to her room. She was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep soundly. At midnight, she suddenly heard a sound from the window, "Miss Mu ..."
Mu Yunyao abruptly opened her eyes and sat up. Her hand subconsciously felt for the dagger under her pillow."Who is it?"
"Miss Mu, it's Yu Heng. The fourth master's body is burning. Steward Qin wants me to invite you over to have a look."
"I understand. I'll be there shortly." Mu Yunyao quickly got up and put on her clothes, then followed Yu Heng to King Yue's residence.
When Supervisor Qin saw Mu Yunyao, he hurriedly came over to welcome her."I'm really sorry for disturbing Miss at such a late hour!"
"There's no need to be courteous, Steward Qin. How is Master Four?"
Supervisor Qin led Mu Yunyao to the bedside."It's been two hours since I've had a fever. I can't wake up even when I'm in a daze."
Mu Yunyao hurriedly went forward to take a look at Yue Yang's pulse, then removed the gauze to look at the wound on his back."The poison in Master Fourth's body has already been mostly cured, and the wounds on his body have been treated properly. It's normal to feel a little hot right now, but you shouldn't be able to wake up, right?"
"That's right. I really couldn't make up my mind, so I invited Miss Mu over."
"First, think of a way to remove the heat from Master Four's body, and then we'll see if we can wake him up." As she said that, Mu Yunyao smoothed out King Yue's sleeves and was about to stand up to write the prescription on the table, but just as she was about to move, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly turned her head to look at the Titan, who was grabbing onto her wrist, "Fourth Master, you're awake?"
Duke Yue's eyes were still tightly shut, but the hand that was holding Mu Yunyao was extremely forceful, causing her to wrinkle her brows in pain.
Steward Qin hurriedly stepped forward and tried to pry away Yue Yang's hand, but he realized that the more he tried to pry away Yue Yang's hand, the more strength he exerted: "Miss Mu, look at this ..."
"I'll say it. Write down the prescription and have someone boil the medicine."
Steward Qin hurriedly nodded his head, and after writing the prescription, he left the room.
Only the King Yue and Mu Yunyao were left in the room. The candle flame on the table flickered for a bit before exploding into a flower. Mu Yunyao sat on the side of the bed, her wrist being tightly grasped by Yue Yang, causing her bones to ache from the pain. However, when she slightly moved, Yue Yang's grip tightened, and she could only give up and let him hold her hand.
