~ THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAIN ~
Yu Wang felt a little unwilling. Seeing the two of them talk about everything from poetry to music and their ideals, Yu Wang felt his heart go cold. Fanghua’s temperament is generous toward anyone, but in reality, there aren’t many people that can make her accept them as her friends, let alone confide in each other at the first meeting like today.
When he was engaged to Min Fanghua, he fell in love with this extraordinary girl at a glance. He went to meet Min Fanghua with an excited heart, but who would have known that the other party caught him by surprise. She was not as knowledgeable when talking about poetry and music as he was. On that day, she competed with him in horseback riding and archery. Because he wasn’t paying attention, he lost a level to her, which made his heart tremble every time he saw his future wife. It was not easy to pester her for three years and win over the hearts of this beautiful woman. But before he could feel proud, he realized that his future princess was pretty approachable, which made him feel bitter.
Until it was dark and the maid repeatedly reminded her, Min Fanghua reluctantly stood up and said goodbye.
“Little Sister Yunyao, when you move out of the Palace, you must tell me. I’ll go to the Qinfang Garden to find you.”
Yu Wang hurriedly said, “Fanghua, Yunyao will be staying in the Palace these few days. After she moves out, maybe we’ll already be married. I’ll accompany you to Imperial Aunt Huang when that time comes.”
Min Fanghua looked at Yu Wang’s smiling face, and her eyes couldn’t help but become extremely gentle. Her smile was a bit sweeter than before. “Okay.”
Seeing her smile, Yu Wang felt it was worth filling his stomach with warm water this afternoon. He then rode his horse and escorted Min Fanghua’s carriage away.
Yue Wang turned his head to look at Mu Yunyao. “Does Yunyao really like Miss Min?”
“Yeah, it’s rare to find a friend with this kind of personality.” There was an old saying, ‘The white head is like new, and the cover is like old.’ Some people had been together for a lifetime, but even when they were full of white hair, they still didn’t understand each other’s temperament. While some people, even though they had just met for the first time, are old friends who have been together for more than ten years. She and Min Fanghua belong to the latter. She could introduce the poisonous lady to each other, and the two of them would definitely be able to get along.
Before, the promise to help Min Fanghua make the wedding dress was all out of respect for Yu Wang. Now that she had met Min Fanghua and chatted with her, it was only natural that she had to put some extra thought into it.
Mu Yunyao stayed in Qinfang Garden for one night before returning to Yuhua Palace. While staying at Yuhua Palace with Yue Wang, she drew up some wedding dress patterns. In the middle, she found Mama Qu and inquired about the details of the princess consort’s attire that she should consider in her dress, and then asked her grandmother to assist her in choosing it before embroidering it. She made a few pictures of the beauties and brought them out for Min Fanghua to choose from.
The Min family naturally knew about this matter as well. Elder Min had contributed a few treasured ancient medical books, and Imperial Concubine Chu had personally delivered a greeting letter to Grand Princess Yi De to express her gratitude.
After Mu Yunyao accompanied Grand Princess Yi De to see the guest, she went to the side hall to see the poisonous lady.
For the poisonous lady, she sent a Si Shu to take care of her, and all the medicine materials were prepared very well. She wanted to come over a few days ago, but the poisonous lady refused, saying she wanted to surprise her. Thinking about it, five or six days have passed. No matter what, don’t let the poisonous lady torment herself when she looks at it.
When Mu Yunyao had just arrived at the entrance of the side chamber, she saw Si Shu with a complex expression. “Si Shu, what’s the matter?”
When Si Shu heard her voice, she quickly turned her head and said, “This servant greets Miss. Miss, are you here to visit the poisonous lady? Why don’t you come back another day...?”
Mu Yunyao was curious in her heart. “What’s wrong? What did the poisonous lady come up with?”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of footsteps coming from the hall’s entrance could be heard. Mu Yunyao looked over and couldn’t help but gasp.
She saw a woman standing by the door. Her face was wrapped in thick gauze, tightly stitched from the top of her head to her neck. Only two holes leaked out of his eyes, and she could barely see anything.
Feeling the weather outside and looking at the poisonous lady’s attire, Mu Yunyao thought she wasn’t far from disfiguring her face again. “What are you doing?”
The poisonous lady took a small stack of papers, held a stick of charcoal, and wrote on it. “Go back beautifully!”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She forcefully held back her laughter as she turned her head and instructed Si Shu, “Quickly go to the Internal Affairs Division and get some ice. It won’t be good if you cover her brain on such a hot day.”
The poisonous lady glared at Mu Yunyao through two holes in the gauze as she casually wrote, “Why did you come here? Did you not look after that sickly person in Chonghua Palace?”
Si Shu quickly returned with an ice bucket. The poisonous lady hurriedly ran to the ice bucket and sat down beside it with difficulty. She then heaved a sigh of relief.
Mu Yunyao found it funny, “Isn’t it just a disfigurement on your face? Why did you cover your entire body?”
The poisonous lady passed a note: “It’s not easy for you to collect those medicinal ingredients. After I had made the ointment, I found that there were many left. Thus, I wiped them on my body. After I remove the gauze, my skin will be as white as jade and could be broken by blowing bullets.”
Mu Yunyao laughed, “It seems like you really did get over it.” It was rare for someone to put in so much effort just to be beautiful.
The poisonous lady handed her another note. ‘I also left some ointment for you, and I will help you make it up when I recover.’
Thinking of wrapping herself up like a poisonous woman, Mu Yunyao shuddered in the summer. “It’s better not to. It’s not easy for you to make those ointments anyway. So, you should do it twice more if you have nothing better to do, and you can be beautiful twice.”
The poisonous lady hurriedly shook her head slightly and said, “Since you look so pretty, we’ll have to share the good fortune, and naturally I’ll give you a share of the good stuff.”
“I can’t afford this blessing. After all, there’s nothing wrong with my head.” Mu Yunyao hurriedly refused.
If it wasn’t for Mu Yunyao carrying Taxue, the poisonous lady would have pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws. Seeing the little fox shake its head and tail, she could only silently feel lucky from the side and remind herself to remain calm.
After a long while, Mu Yunyao finally stopped smiling with difficulty. “How many days do you want to spend like this?”
The poisonous lady sent her a note: Change the medicine every three days, and today is the first day.
Mu Yunyao instantly made up her mind. She would stroll around for the next two days as long as she had nothing to do. Looking at the poisonous lady, she could be happy for an entire day.
Soon, news came from Min Fanghua’s side that the wedding dress style had been selected, so Mu Yunyao went out of the Palace again to have the embroidery ladies of Ni Yun Fang begin their preparations.
When she returned, it was almost dark. Jin Lan and Jin Qiao protected her as she walked toward Yuhua Palace. Just as she turned into a small road, a figure suddenly ran out and knelt in front of Mu Yunyao with a ‘pu tong’ sound.
“Who?” Jin Lan gave a stern shout as she hurriedly stood in front of Mu Yunyao to protect her.
“Princess Wenxian, it’s me, Su Yuyi. Please save me. Please save me!” The figure knelt on the ground, and when she saw Mu Yunyao, she repeatedly cried for help.
“Concubine Yue?” Jin Lan was astonished.

Oh come on. What is this idiot Yuyi plotting now…? 😑
ReplyDeleteConsidering the time frame, I'm guessing Yuyi has realized she isn't actually pregnant, which was the only thing keeping her from being killed. No wonder she's panicking.
