~ PRINCESS, PLEASE STAY ~
The poisonous lady touched her hair in a daze, feeling that she was way too abnormal today. In the past, she had forbidden anyone to get close to her. “You...Who exactly are you?” She didn’t believe that a woman who had grown up in the countryside and leaped onto a tree branch would have such ability!
Mu Yunyao put away Dispersal of the Dream Soul with a charming smile and slightly leaned towards the poisonous lady. Her voice was raised slightly, with some ethereal meaning, “I’m a Fox Fairy in the mountains. When you were young, you broke your leg on the way up the mountain. I even gave you a pheasant. Do you still remember?”
The poisonous lady stared with wide eyes. She almost couldn’t hold back from throwing a handful of poison powder at her body. She jumped up and stood by the window, her gaze swaying intensely, “You … You... I will deal with you another day!”
“Haha.” Mu Yunyao laughed out loud. After the poisonous lady left, she carefully washed her hands in the water. When she was pinching Yunyao’s face earlier, she had poisoned her. In order to take revenge, she poisoned her hairpin, but it was only a teasing poison that made her body itch. She could endure it for half an hour or go back and soak her body in vinegar. As for her saying ‘Fox Fairy’ was purely to scare the poisonous lady. She did not know what was wrong with this person. She was clearly fearless, but she believed that there was a Fox Fairy in this world, and had never dared to see a fox in the forest, so Yunyao did not know where this problem came from
When Yue Wang knocked on the door and came in, the smile on Mu Yunyao’s face had not faded, “Fourth Master, why didn’t you go to the front hall? Ling Wang and Jin Wang are still waiting.”
“Let them wait a little longer.” Yue Wang stepped forward to help Mu Yunyao wipe her hair, his movements extraordinarily gentle and careful. “I saw you smiling happily just now...”
“Well, I just met an interesting person. Fourth Master, please tell people to be careful in the next few days. The antidote pills I gave must also be taken with you at any time. If you feel unwell, immediately take one. A poison expert came to Linjiang city. You should be careful.”
Yue Wang was startled and asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. After a period of time, I will recruit this poison expert here, and you won’t have to worry about her anymore.” There was a smile in Mu Yunyao’s eyes. If the poisonous lady didn’t accept the invitation, she would throw Taxue (the snow fox) in front of her, making sure half of her soul and spirit would be frightened.
Seeing the smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips, the expression in Yue Wang’s eyes deepened. “You know this poison expert?”
“Yes, it’s a friend.” Mu Yunyao smiled sweetly. She was deeply grateful to the poisonous lady from the bottom of her heart. If it hadn’t been for her dedication and patiently supporting her in her previous life, she wouldn’t be who she is now.
Yue Wang felt a little uncomfortable. He knew he shouldn’t ask this question at this time, but seeing Mu Yunyao’s brilliant smile for someone else made his heart sour and uncomfortable. “Yao’er, is that poison expert a man or a woman?”
Mu Yunyao raised her head in astonishment.
Yue Wang quickly added: “When she is recruited, I will arrange a place to stay no matter what. If I know who it is, I can let Yu Heng arrange it in advance.”
Mu Yunyao held back her laughter as she stood up. “She’s called thepoisonous lady, and she’ll just live with me in the future.”
The poisonous lady? She was a woman …
Yue Wang instantly felt he had been too narrow-minded just now. As a woman, no matter how happy Yao’er was, what could she do? “Alright. If there’s anything that’s missing, Yao’er can tell me.”
“Yes.”
Ling Wang and Jin Wang’s expressions were gloomy in the front hall. Even though they had just changed their clothes, Ling Wang and Jing Wang had already waited there for nearly an hour, but the three of them had yet to return.
When Yu Wang walked out of the backyard, he saw Yue Wang and Mu Yunyao and couldn’t help but curl his lips. “I’ve been riding all the way, so it’s inevitable I’ve spent quite a bit of time changing my clothes. I presume Eldest Imperial Brother and Third Imperial Brother wouldn’t mind.”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh as she followed the two to the front courtyard.
Hearing the footsteps, Ling Wang couldn’t help but frown. “Second and Fourth Imperial Brother have finally changed their clothes? However, your servants did not serve you well as they did not prepare clothes for you in advance, so you now have to wear ready-made clothes.”
Yu Wang straightened his luxurious green bamboo ink robe on his body and adjusted the jade belt on his waist, “Eldest Imperial Brother’s anger is so great. Could it be that the servants have not served you tea? When I get back, I will scold them. Seeing that Eldest Imperial Brother is so worried, none of them have any eyesight.”
Ling Wang gritted his teeth as he looked at Mu Yunyao, who stood beside Yue Wang. His brows furrowed even more tightly as he said, “We came here to discuss the important matter of the riverbank. Princess Wenxian is a woman. Shouldn’t she steer clear of it?”
Mu Yunyao blinked and looked at Ling Wang with a half-smile. “Well, since First Imperial Uncle thinks I should leave, I’ll go back and rest.”
At this moment, Qi Yun walked out of the rain. Upon hearing Mu Yunyao’s words, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, “Greetings, Princess. You cannot leave. You absolutely cannot leave.”
When Mu Yunyao saw that Qi Yun’s entire body was drenched, and mud marks were left on his feet, she hurriedly motioned for him to get up, “Is Lord Qi coming down from the river bank?”
“Yes, we’ve just inspected the riverbank. It is the first rain, so the rising water level is not considered obvious. But the riverbank has been washed out for too long. If the water level rises a little bit more, I’m afraid it won’t be able to hold on. I hope the heavens are merciful, and stop the heavy rain soon.”
Ling Wang couldn’t help but cough, “Cough, cough!” Was this Qi Yun trying to humiliate him?
Qi Yun quickly stepped forward and bowed, “This subject greets Your Royal Highness Ling Wang, Yu Wang, Jin Wang and Yue Wang. In order to keep the Princess just now, I was too anxious. I hope the three Prince will forgive me.”
Ling Wang was so angry that he almost fell over. This Yu Wang was clearly deliberately going against him!
Jin Wang spoke gently, “Did something happen to Lord Qi for him anxiously to keep Princess Wenxian so quickly? Could Mu Yunyao have helped to repair the riverbank?”
“Reporting to His Royal Highness Jin Wang, it will take some time for the funds and materials allocated by the Imperial Court to be transported. Thus, Ni Yun fang and Bu Xian Luo supplied the silver and materials needed to repair the riverbank. It is even more necessary for Princess Wen Xian to coordinate with them in the following time. Isn’t that what no one can do without her?
Sure enough, he guessed it?
Jin Wang nodded his head, “Lord Qi is right. Lord Qi is already soaked. Let’s quickly change your clothes before coming here to discuss.”
“Yes.”
Qi Yun quickly changed his clothes and returned, telling them about the situation on the riverbank, “Your Royal Highness Princes and Princess, after the riverbank was burst, a portion of the river channel was changed, so it needs to be rebuilt. The amount of manpower and material resources required to do so is immeasurable. But now, Linjiang City is affected by the disaster as the people’s health has not recovered, and the river workers are far short of manpower. Coupled with heavy rain, the situation on the river is unclear, and it is difficult for ships transporting supplies to pass...”
The more Qi Yun spoke, the more worried he became. The riverbank had to be built before the arrival of the summer flood. Otherwise, the tragedy that broke the wall and flooded the city would happen again in a few months.

I definitely say Yu Wang deserves to be the emperor. Ling Wang is too much of a hothead and Jin Wang is a venomous snake. And Yue Wang just wants to be with Yunyao so he can be the carefree prince. 😅
