After promising the emperor to take care of King Jin, King Yue openly stayed in the imperial palace.
Ever since he knew that the Poison Lady had entered the Jade Flower Palace, he had been feeling anxious. Although the Poison Woman was a woman, Yun Yao had been too intimate with her and had tolerated her presence. In the end, he had decided to enter the palace because he needed to keep an eye on his family"s treasures.
The Eldest Prince had also started to gather the officials who had supported the Jin family. In just a few days, the originally huge Jin family had collapsed.
Mu Yunyao didn"t have any plans to make a move on Prince Jin, so she just stayed to the side to study his medical skills.
There had been a lot of things happening in the past, and her current medical skills and poison techniques were more than enough, so she decided to put these aside for now. Now that he had the time, he had brought in many medical books from the Supreme Hospital. After putting all his effort into it, he found the art of medicine increasingly interesting.
Without the Madame Poison, he could sit by the side and read Yunyao"s books for the entire day. Occasionally, he would help grind the ink, organize the books, and even do some ch.o.r.es, feeling very satisfied.
Mu Yunyao couldn"t help but laugh at him, "If I were a man and you were a woman, outsiders would have to praise and envy others. But now, if others were to see this, they would definitely mock Fourth Master for not having ambition. They would only know to circle around a woman." At this time, there was a drawing paper on the table, and he was carefully drawing a picture. The picture was more than half complete, and it was the picture of Mu Yunyao holding onto a scroll, and although it was not completed, it was already filled with a refined and elegant aura.
Come, it was especially lifelike.
"They are envious of us, the divine couple."
Mu Yunyao laughed. Her laughter was as light and agile as a jade dropping onto a silver plate, causing people to involuntarily smile along with her.
King Yue"s eyes were full of smiles. After scrutinizing her for a while, he once again lowered his head to draw the pearl hairpin.
Prince Jin leaned against the headboard, listening to their conversation with a lost look in his eyes.
Yue w.a.n.g and Mu Yunyao had already taken care of him for close to half a month, so he felt a little envious of them now, from his initial anger to his calm afterwards. On the surface, he looked gentle and refined, and was very polite to every woman, but in reality, even towards the number one beauty Su Yuyi, who he admired in his heart, he could only deal with her and feel annoyed. But now that he saw the relationship between King Yue and Mu Yunyao, he actually started to envy King Fu, and he couldn"t help but to envy her …
He was so independent that he wanted to replace himself with t.i.tan.
He listened to Mu Yunyao talk about the importance of embroidery, listened to her talk about the tea ceremony, and listened to her occasionally discussing medical skills with the imperial physicians. That cold voice of hers was like a ray of light, shining a golden splendor into the dark world around him.
The riverbank in the south of the river was completed, and King Yu and Qi Yun returned to the capital.
All along the way, all sorts of news and rumors had spread, leaving King Yu dumbfounded. After returning to the palace to pay his respects to the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Qi, he hurriedly made his way to the Heavy Flower Palace.
Yue w.a.n.g and Mu Yunyao were drinking tea, and when they saw King Yu enter, they hurriedly stood up to pay their respects.
"Second brother, is the matter with Jiangnan over?" Seeing that King Yu was doing well, King Yue"s expression softened. Since he had decided not to fight for that seat, then he naturally had to support someone who had a good relationship with him. King Yu was undoubtedly the best choice.
Mu Yunyao placed the newly-brewed tea cup in front of King Yu. "Your Highness, please have some tea."
"Thank you very much." King Yu turned to look at Prince Jin, who was sitting on the chair.
Prince Jin seemed to have sensed something and gently rubbed the teacup in his hand. He raised his head and said with a smile, "Second brother has returned safely from Jiangnan. I am very happy." King Yu raised an eyebrow, "It"s been a while since we last met. Third Brother"s change is truly great." He had a clear understanding of the history of people. Although Prince Jin could hide it from others, it couldn"t hide it from his eyes. In the past, no matter how warm his smile was, there was a trace of impatience and irritation in his eyes.
To be able to keep a calm mind was truly abnormal. He was already an extremely handsome man, his smile was shallow, and carried a n.o.ble and peerless air: "After experiencing so much, there will always be changes. Moreover, I do not want to die right now, if I do not open my mind, I might be knocked into another pillar.
"
King Yu"s eyes narrowed slightly. His gaze was filled with scrutiny. "If losing something can help you gain such enlightenment, then as a brother, I should congratulate you. After all, there are people who can live their entire lives without knowing."
"Thank you, second brother, for your advice." Prince Jin held the tea cup with both hands and turned his head towards Mu Yunyao, "Yunyao, the tea cup in my hand has turned cold. Can you help me change it?"
"Prince Jin, wait a moment." Mu Yunyao walked up and took the teacup from Prince Jin. After changing the teacup, she handed it back to him. "Your Highness, be careful of the heat."
Prince Jin extended his finger and when he received the teacup, he accidentally touched Mu Yunyao"s fingertip. A warm feeling spread through his body, causing him to feel an inexplicable desire for her.
He didn"t know why he had become like this. Logically, he had told himself over and over again to be wary of Mu Yunyao, but it was possible that his current appearance was a result of her underhanded scheme. However, on the surface, he couldn"t help but unconsciously rely on Mu Yunyao.
Perhaps it was because after he woke up, the world had turned pitch black and the first voice he heard came from Mu Yunyao. The first time he touched her was also when her fingertip was touching his blood vessels …
He could distinguish a lot of people with his hearing, but those people were all blurry in his heart. Only Mu Yunyao, as long as she appeared, he would be able to feel her presence no matter how loud the surrounding noise was.
Mu Yunyao retreated to the side after pa.s.sing the teacup to Prince Jin.
Yue w.a.n.g took Mu Yun Yao"s hand and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the water droplets on it clean. "I suddenly want to learn the art of tea as well. Since I have nothing else to do during this period of time, teach me how to make tea.
"Alright."
King Yu drank the tea in one gulp. "As the second brother, I am happy for you two because of the relationship that royal father has between the two of you. When you get married, I will definitely give you a generous gift."
Mu Yunyao"s face turned slightly red, but King Yue nodded without a trace of politeness. "Sure, but why is Second Brother so generous today? Weren"t you always crying about being poor in the past?"
King Yu rubbed his hands together and smiled embarra.s.sedly at Mu Yunyao. "I do have something that I need to trouble Yunyao with."
"There"s no harm in saying what it is, your highness." Fanghua and I were about to get married, so I made a great contribution this time and especially asked royal father for a favor. The wedding specifications could be slightly overdone, so I went to see the wedding dress prepared by the Internal Affairs Division. "I thought neon workshop"s embroidery process was the best, so I asked you to help me look after it and get someone to dress Fang Hua up. How about it?"
