Hearing Mu Yunyao"s promise, a bit of warmth rose from the bottom of Duke Yue"s heart. His fingers caressed her hair and felt the wetness within. He could not help but frown. "It"s not like you"ve dried your hair."
Mu Yunyao blinked, her expression very innocent. "I originally wanted to wait for you to dry up later, I didn"t want you to come back too late."
Then, he took a cloth and sat down by the side of the bed. He pulled her down to lie on his lap and let her spread her hair before he used the cloth to wipe it dry carefully.
Mu Yunyao was in a daze, unable to recover from her shock. She lay stiffly on Yue Yang"s leg, feeling waves of heat on her cheeks.
Ever since the two of them had untied the knot in their hearts, Yue w.a.n.g had become more and more unscrupulous. However, such intimate and natural interactions caused an indescribable sweetness to surge in her heart.
The Winged King wiped his hair with extreme care, his slender fingers moving between his black hair. Each movement was filled with an indescribable gentleness. When he finally finished drying his hair with great difficulty and lowered his head to look at Mu Yunyao, he discovered that she was already fast asleep.
Yue Yang carefully lifted her up and placed her on the bedside before carefully covering her head with the blanket. He focused his attention on her for nearly two hours and only when Mu Yunyao sleepily turned around did he regain his senses.
He slowly bent down and wanted to kiss Mu Yunyao"s forehead, but he was afraid that his actions would wake her up. He could only change directions and place a kiss on her hair before getting up and stealthily walking out.
On the second day, when Mu Yunyao saw King Yue again, he had returned to his usual appearance, and he didn"t seem to be abnormal like last night in the slightest.
Mu Yunyao didn"t deliberately mention that King Yue wasn"t a person with a weak mind, and he didn"t need to be comforted by others all the time.
When the commoners saw that the people who had attended the clinic were not only fine, but their symptoms had also improved, they all regretted treating their master"s stomach as if it were nothing. Seeing that it was their last day, they all rushed to the clinic, afraid that they wouldn"t be able to make it in time for the imperial physician"s diagnosis.
The officials helped to maintain order, but there were too many civilians and it still looked messy.
The imperial physicians were also somewhat stupefied by this situation. Without much time to think, they began to diagnose everyone"s pulse and treat their illnesses.
Mu Yunyao, who was staring at the medicinal ingredients as they were brewing, was slightly more relaxed. She had already expected such a situation to occur, so she had sorted the medicinal ingredients beforehand and saved quite a bit of effort.
The guards who had gone to the neighboring cities to scout had rushed back. Because Yi River City had dealt with the epidemic situation in time, they did not continue to spread it to the surrounding cities. King Yue and Mu Yunyao both let out a breath of relief when they heard this news, then hurriedly sent them to the capital.
In the capital, the emperor personally went to the altar to pray after he had issued his edict of sin.
After the blessing, rain fell. The common folk of the capital felt that this was a good omen, and their tensed minds had relaxed quite a bit.
After a few more days, King Yue"s paper was delivered to the capital. After the Emperor finished reading, he rejoiced and hurriedly issued an imperial decree announcing to the world.
The plague had been completely suppressed. Aside from the 12 people who had died from their bodies being too weak, the other victims of the plague were almost completely healed. The plague in the city had also been completely controlled.
As soon as the news came out, the entire capital went into an uproar.
Now that they had a prescription to treat the plague, they had even successfully cured the infected people in Yi River City and Guan City. This meant that even if there were to be another plague in the future, they had a very high chance of surviving!
The Emperor brought King Yue"s paper and directly went to the Grand Princess: "Big Sister, quickly take a look."
After reading the letter, Eldest Princess Yi De"s face was immediately filled with joy. "This is great, this is truly great."
"That"s right, Yunyao has made a great contribution this time. If she hadn"t delivered the prescription, then Yi River City and the other nearby cities might not have been able to survive."
Grand Princess Yi De clasped her hands together and bowed, "Amitabha, G.o.d bless you. Your majesty, if you don"t properly reward Yunyao this time, even as an imperial sister, I won"t listen. "
"Reward!" I must reward her well! "Sister, it"s been a long time since I"ve been this happy." After hearing such good news, the Emperor felt elated from the bottom of his heart and swept away his dejection from the past few days. Grand Princess Yi De smiled, but suddenly became somewhat worried. "Your Majesty, Jun Yue mentioned the relationship between him and Yao"er. These two children have experienced life and death, so their friendship must be even stronger …" He was a stubborn person, so it didn"t matter if he suffered some grievances or not. He was just afraid that if someone came in front of Yao"er to gossip, he wouldn"t be able to take it …
"I came here to cause some trouble."
"What my royal sister said is right. I have let Rou Er down, and I have also let Jun Yue down. It wasn"t easy for him to have his own lover, I can"t let this child continue to suffer grievances." "Don"t worry royal sister, I know what to do now."
The Grand Princess Yi De smiled. "The Emperor is more meticulous than me. I"ll leave this matter for you to handle, then I"ll be able to take care of myself."
No matter what he wanted to do, he had always taken it into consideration. This time, Jun Yue and Yun Yao had done a great service for them, and he should think of them carefully. As for the Duke of Heaven and the Duke of Jin …
After the emperor returned to the palace, he did not immediately deal with the two of them. Instead, he ordered the two of them to rush to Jiangnan to help King Yu with the remaining matters of the cities and supervise the construction of the riverbank. He wanted to see if the two of them had any regrets!
In the viewing city, Mu Yunyao had originally said that she would only stay for three days. When the spectators saw that the clinic was about to start packing up, they all went up to kneel and beg.
The imperial physicians had a difficult expression on their faces, but they were actually very happy in their hearts. If not for the powder thrown out by Wen Xian, they probably would have been thrown out of the city. Furthermore, the soldiers had shot them with arrows earlier … The clay figure still had a bit of spirit left!
The people tied to the trees were also released and went to apologize in front of Mu Yunyao and the others.
In the end, the imperial physicians magnanimously expressed their forgiveness. Afterwards, they gathered together to study if adding more coptis to the prescription would have any effect on the medicine"s potency. After determining that it didn"t have much effect, the smell of the medicine was difficult to finish.
After coming to Jiangnan, King Yu did not go to Riverside City. Instead, he came directly to the ornamental city. He grumbled in his heart to King Yue, "Fourth brother, I"ve lost my lord this time."
"What happened to second brother?"
King Yu told Mu Yunyao the story of how he used his crying to scold his courtier, and Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but laugh after hearing it.
Yue Yang couldn"t help but smile: "Second brother, are you not afraid that Miss Min will know about this?"
"I have been looking forward to it. I am the only one like this since my father-in-law is not among those who are begging for mercy."
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but be curious, "Then sooner or later this news will spread to Miss Min"s ears?"
King Yu placed his hands on his chest and humphed, "Can you believe the rumors? Of course I can"t believe it, whoever dares to pa.s.s on my disgraceful crying and scolding will be envious of my efforts in helping Jiangnan, and intentionally framing them. I will directly tell royal father, and let him take charge. " Mu Yunyao and King Yue couldn"t stop themselves from looking at each other. Their eyes brimmed with laughter. This Prince Yu could be considered the most reckless person in life.
