Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 12



Chapter 12

Mu Yunyao woke up early the next morning . Mother was still tired from the shock she had received the previous night and thus was still asleep . Mu Yunyao quietly got off the bed, afraid that she would wake her up .

Li Shi’s face was red . She was having a fever .

Mu Yunyao coldly looked away . She went to the woodshed and carried the pannier . She walked out the door and towards the back of the mountain . Since she was going to act, she had to make sure that there would be no mistakes . She hated Li Shi, but she was not going to destroy her own reputation because of that .

In her past life, she had nothing . In this life, she was going to have everything, including her reputation!

The mountain was completely covered with trees, there were also many medicinal herbs . In the village, if anyone were to fall sick, they would go up the mountain to look for herbs to boil and drink .

The wind was strong during this winter season . It blew strongly against Mu Yunyao’s face, causing her face to sting . But Mu Yunyao did not slow down, there was even a small hint of a smile on her face .

The herbs in the mountain had withered; trying to differentiate between them would be no easy feat . But she had good eye sight and was able to quickly spot the herbs that could stop bleeding and herbs with anaesthetising effect . After digging them out, she continued to walk deeper into the mountains .

There was running water behind the mountains, and this water was warm throughout the year . She wanted to find a snake by the water to give it to Zhang Caizhu as a gift . A gift for his funeral .

As she walked, she saw a faint mist rising up . She quickened her steps, put down the pannier and washed her face with the warm water, her mood lifting . She smirked as she looked at her surroundings . There was warm water here and the plants here were also a healthy green . The snake species would definitely love to dig their holes here to hibernate .

She spotted a place where it seemed to have more plants flourishing . She picked up a little stone from the brook, bent down and as about to clear away the plants when a cold light flashed across her eyes . The tip of a knife was pointed towards her throat .

“Who are you?”

A deep voice that was laced with ice rang out, every word was sharp like a blade . Mu Yunyao’s body stiffened up, a cold feeling crawled up her spine, causing her to let out cold sweat . “I am a villager from the village at the foot of this mountain . I have come to pick some herbs . I have no ill intent . ”

The blade was still pointed at her throat, a sudden sharp pain caused Mu Yunyao’s irises to constrict . She immediately blurted out, “ I have an herb that can stop bleeding!” She had smelled the heavy scent of blood . This person’s injuries must be quite serious . She hoped that if this person deemed her to be useful, she would not be killed!

The sound of the water flowing mixed together with the loud thumping of her heart .

After a long while, there was movement within the grass . The knife was taken back and a man sat up from the grass .

Mu Yunyao did not dare make any extra movement . Her eyes landed on the man and she was given the shock of her life!

The man’s face was totally covered in blood stains, yet this did not affect his noble aura . His face was pale, he had very cold features yet it seemed as if every single detail was carved very carefully and precisely . Especially those shining, freezing black eyes .

But it was not just his features that gave Mu Yunyao such a shock . It was his identity: Yue Wang! The current fourth imperial prince Ning Junyue!

(T/N: His name is Ning Junyue, his title is Yue Wang . The “Yue” in “Yue Wang” was taken from his name . )

(T/N: A direct translation for his name: “Ning” means peaceful, “Jun” means monarch, “Yue” means battle axe . )

Even if one were to only seem once, even if it was just a slight glance, they would definitely be able to recognise him again . It was just that his aura was too unique .

Mu Yunyao’s body could not stop trembling, the hate and fear slowly appeared in her eyes . She had died without knowing why in the Yue Wang residence, but it most definitely had got to do with Yue Wang .

Ning Junyue looked up, his eyes had a freezing effect as usual . “The medicine?”

Mu Yunyao came back to her senses . She quickly lowered her head, “It is by the brook, I will go and get it . ” The enemy was strong while she was weak, she did not dare take a wrong step . To add on to that, she could not attract too much attention if she did not want the Su family to notice her too soon .

Ning Junyue was silent . He looked at her get up and while crossing the brook, accidentally slip, causing her to directly step into the water, leaving her skirt and shoes drenched .

Mu Yunyao grabbed her pannier forcefully and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down . With Ning Junyue’s personality, if she were to cause his suspicion to rise, she would definitely die .

She carried the herbs back to him, her eyes still lowered, “This is it, it can stop your bleeding . ”

Ning Junyue looked at the dry herb, his eyes cold . What was he supposed to do, eat it?
