The imperial physician had just come to take a look, the burns on his back could not be worn with heavy clothes, as it would not worsen the injury by keeping his breath, so King Yue only wore a light silk shirt over his body. At this moment, the clothes on his back were opened, and a dense chill could be felt coming up from the inside, causing King Yue's heart to uncontrollably tremble.
"Yunyao, this injury isn't serious, you just need to rest for a few days."
Mu Yunyao's emotions were in turmoil. Last time, King Yue had personally led a group of people to cut off the salt ship and caused severe injuries. Back then, she had personally bandaged the ship without any special feelings.
Mu Yunyao extended her finger and lightly touched the edge of his wound, causing King Yue to unconsciously take in a deep breath. She was so shocked that she promptly retracted her finger."Fourth Master, is it very painful?"
Yue Yang clenched his fingers into a fist, covering his ears with his hair, "Pain!"
"I brought some medicine to help you apply, but the wound is scalded and cannot be bandaged. Fortunately, the weather is cool these days and the wound will heal faster." As Mu Yunyao spoke, she gently and quickly helped the King to treat his wounds.
Instead, he focused all of his attention on Mu Yunyao's fingertip. Her movements were very gentle, as though a gentle breeze had brushed past, and brought about a slightly numbing itch. That feeling seemed to be able to pierce through his heart, causing his expression to become even more tense.
After taking care of the wound, Mu Yunyao let out a breath of relief and gently helped the King to straighten his shirt, "Fourth Master, please be patient in the next few days and don't let your wound get wet. It should be fine before the Autumn Hunt in September."
"Cough ..." King Yue suppressed his coughing twice, a hint of red appearing on his pale face.
Mu Yunyao's heart tightened and couldn't help but reach out to touch his forehead."Could it be that Fourth Master has a fever?" Feeling the intense heat on his forehead, he immediately grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.
"It should be a fever due to injuries. I'll write down the prescription and have Yu Heng prepare the medicinal ingredients. After drinking two sets, he should be fine."
King Fu remained calm and collected as he nodded his head, trying his best to suppress the unease in his eyes."How is Madam Su? Are her injuries serious?"
Thinking about Su Qing's injury, a trace of gloominess flashed through Mu Yunyao's heart."The sprained wound on my leg is not serious, but my throat was choked by the thick smoke. I think I'll need to rest for a while."
"I've asked Yu Heng to investigate the burning chamber, but he didn't find any clues. However, if it's an accident, then it's a bit too much of a coincidence."
"It's Su Yuyi and Senior Servant Qi."
Thinking about how the Su family had allowed Meng Yanran to make things difficult for her, King Yu's Qi turned cold, "Yunyao, why did the Su family make things difficult for you? This time they are even trying to kill you, do you notice anything strange?"
"I'm also very curious. It seems like the Su Clan has a deep grudge against mother and me." Mu Yunyao's heart became heavier, "Right now we can only use force to deal with the situation. The Su family wants to harm mother and me, I naturally will not sit here and wait for death. Let's see who has the best methods."
"Do you need my help?"
Mu Yunyao's aura froze and she lifted her eyes to look at King Yue. His gaze was no longer as cold as when they first met. Instead, it was filled with traces of gentleness and worry, causing her to unconsciously feel a little uncomfortable.
Previously, she could tell herself to keep her distance, but now that he had just saved her mother, if he was like before, she would be ungrateful to him.
At this moment, Duke Yue was leaning on the head of the bed, while Mu Yunyao was sitting on the edge of the bed for convenience's sake. At such a close distance, King Fu could clearly hear Mu Yunyao's breathing. It was as light as feather brushing against his heart, causing his heart to feel warmth and itch.
Mu Yunyao slightly raised her head. Her clear eyes contained a trace of bewilderment and helplessness, causing others to be unable to stop their heart from feeling pity for her.
Yue Yang seemed to be enchanted by her words. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on the side of her face, and gently rubbed his thumb across her eyes. His warm and exquisite touch was extremely tempting, tempting him to place his palm on her.
The warmth of her face made Mu Yunyao slightly stiff. After regaining her senses, she wanted to dodge, but in the next moment, she forcefully restrained her movements.
However, Duke Yue quickly retracted his hand, and his smile contained an unspeakable astringency, "Yunyao, you ... You don't have to be like this. I saved Madam Su voluntarily and did not rely on this favor to exchange for something from you."
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes rapidly changing. All sorts of complex emotions surged, as if she could crush someone. However, in the next moment, she suppressed them all."Master Four, you don't plan on returning to the west of Cantonese, do you?"
Yue Yang was unable to guess Mu Yunyao's intentions, and replied truthfully: "That's right, I don't plan on returning to the capital this time."
"Then... Is the Fourth Master enough manpower in the capital? " Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the King. There was nervousness, caution, and more of them were carefully probing him.
At this moment, Mu Yunyao was like a lovebird that had been hurt by someone. She carefully tested her front paw and wanted to see if she could get a kind response.
Yue Yang's mood immediately turned as his heart pounded like a drum. He deliberately lowered his voice, hoping to make himself more gentle. He did not want to scare the claws that she had just probed out away."It's still lacking a bit." Mu Yunyao sucked in a small breath, as if she had made up her mind."Then does Master Fourth need one that can help you earn silver? You must have your own plans for coming to the capital, but you have to use silver to pave the way for every single move. Those silver taels that you earned in the Tomb City, if you don't pay ...
"I thought that I would have spent a lot of money to help Master Si earn more silver, so that you can fulfill your wish. How about it?"
"What do you want in return?" When my mother and I returned to the Su Clan, I thought that we had found our loved ones, but in reality, the Su Clan viewed us as their enemies. [I will help Master to earn some money, and Master will help Mother and me ...]
Personally provide protection, how about it? "
King Yue shook his head slightly."Even if you don't help me earn silver taels, I will still ensure the safety of you and Madam Su. You can also make another request."
Mu Yunyao bit her tongue lightly, the frost in her eyes gradually spreading out. After a moment of silence, she coldly said, "I want to kill a few people, and those people are Fourth Master's subordinates. Can you agree to that?"
Yue Yang frowned and asked in shock: "My subordinates?"
"That's right, will Master Four agree?" Mu Yunyao looked at King Yue, the temperature in her eyes becoming colder and colder.
However, her previous life, she had died a miserable death in the Battlefield King Mansion, and the grudge she had with him still lingered in her heart. Although her death was not directly related to the Titan King, it was actually done by his subordinates.
Right now, she wanted to give herself a chance, just like her mother had said. Even if she knew that there would be hardships in the future, she was still willing to give it a try. However, with Yue Yang's personality, why would he agree to such an unreasonable request just because of a single sentence ...
