Illness

Yue Wang gave Mu Yunyao a deep look, and a myriad of emotions flashed past his eyes . However, when he looked closely, he could not find any trace of emotion as he turned around and left in long strides .

Mu Yunyao closed the window and sheathed the dagger on the table back into its scabbard . With a calm expression, she placed it under her pillow and took off her outer coat to lie on the bed .

Half an hour later, she opened her sleepless eyes, put on her shoes, pulled on her cloak, and opened the door . She took out the lamp that had fallen in the snow .

It had been snowing heavily for the past two days . Although the ice lantern was fragile, it didn’t hurt even if it fell on the ground . Mu Yunyao brushed off the snowflakes, placed the ice lantern in the window, and found a short candle to ignite it .

Under the illumination of the candle flame, the crystal-clear light became even more dazzling, without a single flaw .

Because she was afraid that the ice lantern will be melted by the warmth in the room, Mu Yunyao intentionally opened up half of the window . Currently, she was sitting by the window, attentively looking at the ice lantern . She can’t help but be stunned .

The cold wind blew in from the window, causing her body to feel cold . It also makes her thoughts more crystal clear .

The moment she saw Yue Wang take out the ice lantern, all the details that she had previously memorized gushed into her mind, causing her to instantly come to a conclusion: Yue Wang had fallen for her!

This conclusion caused her to be very shocked, and she almost lost her composure in front of Yue Wang, which was why she quickly chased him away .

She had never liked anyone before, even if it was in her previous life that she entered the Jin Palace as a concubine, it was only to ensure her survival . In this life, she filled with hatred, and never once considered the relationship between a man and a woman . Therefore, the first moment she noticed Yue Wang’s mind, she wanted to push people away .

Not to mention the difference in status between the two of them, her death in a previous life also implicated with Yue Wang . Until this matter investigated thoroughly, she wouldn’t be able to get along with him without any grudges, let alone anything else .

Even if she thought about it carefully now, that time, Yue Wang must have tricked by someone, but she was still unable to get over it completely!

In this life, she only wanted to protect her mother and live a carefree life after taking revenge . She didn’t want to get involved with any princes or other nobles . As her thoughts settled, Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand and stroked the ice sculpture cat’s head . Her fingertip was completely cold, and the chill seemed to be able to spread from her arm all the way to the bottom of her heart, causing her eyes to become colder as well . “if you moved for a moment, it would not last long . It’s just a time of confusion . I think Yue Wang will not put it in his heart . ”

Withdrawing her finger, Mu Yunyao laid back on the bed . She did her best to suppress the mixed emotions in her heart and fell asleep in a daze . It was unknown how long she slept, and she only felt a burning pain in her body, as if someone had placed it on top of a fire . She couldn’t help but curl her eyebrows .

“Yao’er, Yao’er, are you awake?” Su Qing’s face filled with fatigue and worry . When she heard Mu Yunyao’s movements, she immediately called out her softly .

Mu Yunyao struggled to open her eyes and felt a splitting headache: “Mother …” The moment she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was hoarse, and she was in excruciating pain, causing her to furrow her brows even tighter .

Su Qing hurriedly helped her up . She was both anxious and distressed as she said, “Child, you don’t know how to close the window when you go to sleep . If it wasn’t for Mother call you when you didn’t wake up in the morning, I’m afraid that you would be more seriously ill . !”

Mu Yunyao was a little groggy . “What happened to me?”

“I asked dr . Zhang to have a look, you got wind-cold . He already prescribed medicine for you, and Jin Lan had already simmered it . So, you should get up and drink some porridge first, then drink the medicine, and you should lie down on the bed and rest after that . ”

Mu Yunyao raised her head to look at the window . The window was tightly shut, and there was no sign of the ice lantern . “Mother, that window …”

“Did you open it yourself?” Su Qing looked at her and helplessly pulled at the corner of her blanket . “You can’t do this from now on . Even if the room feels hot and stuffy, close the window after a short while . You can’t keep sleeping with the bed open . ”

Mu Yunyao nodded, “I understand, Mother . ”

She blinked her misty eyes, and her cheeks blushed slightly . Su Qing couldn’t bear to continue talking with her . “Sleep for a while longer . Mother will go down and see if the porridge is ready . ”

Mu Yunyao obediently lied down before falling asleep again in a daze .

She didn’t get sick very often, but once she got sick, it was so difficult for her to get well . She always gets better and worse intermittently, but no matter how many medicines she took, it was useless . She could only wait for her illness to pass . Who would have thought that after being fine for more than a year, she would actually fall ill at the start of the New Year?

When she woke up again, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were guarding by her side .

“Miss, it’s all the servants’ fault, I played too late last night, so I didn’t come to stand guard for Miss . ”

After waking up from her sleep, Mu Yunyao more or less regained some energy . “The blame must not be on you . Earlier, I have said that I do not like to have someone guarding on the outside at night . By the way, when you came over this morning, did you see anything in the window?”

The two of them shook their heads, “I didn’t see anything . Did Miss lose something?”

“Last night on a whim, I gathered a snowman and placed it by the window . It must have melted . ”

“That’s highly likely . When this servant came over this morning, I saw that there were water stains by the window . ” Mu Yunyao didn’t say anything else . After eating the porridge and resting for a moment, she drank another bowl of medicine before lying down to resting again . Every time she was sick, she was especially addicted to sleeping . This time, she slept until the sky turned dark before she woke up . Her body was covered with a thick quilt, causing her to sweat profusely . At this time, she felt very uncomfortable .

“Jin Lan?”

There was no response from anyone outside the room after she called out . Mu Yunyao slightly frowned, then pulled back her blanket and got out of bed .

“Don’t you know that you’re sick? Do you still dare to come down at this time?” The cold voice carried a trace of concern, causing Mu Yunyao to freeze on the spot .

“Fourth Master, why are you here? Where are Jin Lan and the rest?”

“How did you get sick?” Yue Wang didn’t reply to Mu Yunyao’s words .

Mu Yunyao smiled and spoke in an indifferent tone, “How can a person not get sick when they eat whole grains . It’s just that I was especially unlucky and actually fell ill during the New Year . ”

Yue Wang scrutinized her, his eyes revealing an unfathomable look: “Where is the ice lantern I gave you last night?”

Mu Yunyao’s smile did not change, “Didn’t Fourth Master throw it away? Why did you come and ask me? If you really want to know, go down the stairs and search, maybe you can find it . ”

“You take a good rest first . After you’ve recovered, then you can think about other things . ”

“Thank you for your concern, Fourth Master . ”

Yue Wang nodded and turned to leave .

Not long after he left, Jin Lan came in with a bowl of medicine . “Miss, you’ve woken up . I just went to bring medicine . Coincidentally, Madam called Jin Qiao to the front courtyard for some matters, so she didn’t stay in front of you . ”

“I’m fine, I’m sweating all over, and it feels really uncomfortable . Can you help me prepare some hot water? I want to wash up a bit . ”

“How can we do that? Young Miss, you have caught a cold, you can’t afford to get any more cold right now!” Jin Lan hurriedly shook her head .

“Don’t worry . I know how to do medicine . You should prepare hot water so that it won’t catch cold . ”

“That won’t do!” Su Qing walked in and intentionally gave her a cold look . “Mother can’t stand it for a while, so you played around with it . How can a person who has caught a cold still want to take a bath?”
