Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 574

~ LIU LIANG INJURED ~ 

Yue Wang seemed odd: “Why did Yao’er suddenly remember this?”

“It’s not that I suddenly remembered. These days, we two are too conspicuous. Many people have taken up the ideas of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo, especially the apprentices I personally taught. Many of them have come to dig them out. The methods on the front are not working, so they have a crooked idea. However, Caiyi was still vigilant and told me several apprentices met a charming and intimate confidant.”

“That Yu Heng and Yu Yi are going to be happy. Those subordinates of mine are almost all single. Those people will be overjoyed when I tell them this news another day.”

“Alright, even though you and I are in charge, they must also be willing. Thus, it’s up to fate to decide. Emotional matters are the most reluctant.” Those apprentices were different from Jin Lan and Jin Qiao. They had been with her for a long time, so they had a deep relationship with her. If they were forced to arrange marriages, they might do something bad.

Furthermore, she had spread out almost all of her embroidery techniques. She didn’t hide anything, nor did she worry about divulging anything. It was just that those people outside were constantly thinking that she was hiding secrets and kept trying to dig people out of Ni Yun Fang.

For dinner, Eunuch Cheng prepared it with extreme care, every dish was exceptionally exquisite, and Mu Yunyao ate it with satisfaction. When she returned to Qin Fang Garden, the sky was completely dark.

Not long after entering, Jin Lan reported, “Miss. Liu Liang is here.”

“Let him in.”

“Mistress.” He kneeled and saluted. There were wounds on his arms, and blood was dripping from them.

Mu Yunyao was startled and hurriedly stood up and walked over, asking, “What’s going on?”

“When this subordinate came, I was blocked. My swordsmanship was not very good, so I suffered minor injuries.” Liu Liang’s eyes were calm, without any ripples on his face, as if he couldn’t feel any pain in his body.

Mu Yunyao frowned and immediately thought of the Shadow Guard. “Wei Jiu.”

Wei Yi was at the Emperor’s side and was responsible for obeying the orders and guarding the Emperor’s safety.

Wei Er, Wei San, Wei Si, and Wei Wu protected Grand Princess Yi De and Xu Yanhan, respectively, while Wei Jiu stayed by Mu Yunyao’s side. Wei Jiu had a lively personality and a somewhat unconventional way of doing things. She had specially selected him.

A figure quickly appeared and knelt in front of Mu Yunyao. With a respectful attitude, he said, “This servant greets Mistress.”

“Liu Liang is my person. I will allow him to come to me. Don’t hurt him in the future.”

“Yes.”

Wei Jiu was responsible, so Mu Yunyao naturally couldn’t punish him. After Wei Jiu retreated, she made Liu Liang sit on a chair to the side and took out a medicine box to help him treat his wounds. “There have been a lot of things to do these past few days, so I forgot to tell Wei Jiu about you. I’m really sorry.”

Liu Liang pursed his lips and watched Mu Yunyao lower her eyes to help him clean his wounds. A struggle flashed in his eyes as he said, “Your subordinate’s status is low. I shouldn’t have made you help me….”

Mu Yunyao’s movements paused as she slightly raised her eyes to look over.

Being stared at by those clear eyes, Liu Liang even forgot to breathe. His back was sweaty, and his hands and feet were almost nowhere to put.

Mu Yunyao stopped her movements and called Jin Lan in, “Help Liuliang treat the wound.”

“Yes, Miss.”

In that split second, the warmth in his heart turned into ice, and even his face became extremely pale. After Jin Lan finished bandaging his wounds and retreated, he immediately got up and kneeled on the ground. “Please punish me, Mistress.”

“Hurry up and get up. You didn’t do anything wrong. What do I need to punish you for?” Mu Yunyao patiently explained, “After being a doctor for too long, it’s easy for me to neglect men’s and women’s defences. I don’t think it’s much, but I forgot you care.” Liu Liang’s pale face recovered some colour as he opened his mouth and wanted to say that he didn’t care, but his heart was beating too fast, which made him too flustered. That was why he had such a reaction. It was just like a person walking in a dark snowfield who suddenly encounters a flame and wants to approach it but is afraid of bringing up a cold wind to shatter the warmth in front of them.

“Liu Liang?” Mu Yunyao called out, but Liu Liang was stunned and didn’t respond. It was the first time she had seen him in such a state. “What’s wrong?”

Liu Liang suddenly snapped out of his daze and said, “Please forgive me, Mistress.”

“You …” He had always been strict with his rules. Thus, Mu Yunyao couldn’t correct it, so she could only let him go. “You came over in a hurry. Did something happen?”

“Yes, Qi Ming sent word that he has already started contacting the Li family’s forces, but he’s still in the periphery. Prime Minister Li Qingzhou doesn’t completely trust him, and he even secretly sent people to investigate the origin of the Yi Bao Xuan and Qi Ming.”

Mu Yunyao frowned, saying, “Although the origins of these two matters have already been arranged, the fake one is still fake. It can’t withstand too much scrutiny and investigation. The Li family was under the protection of the First Prince. The Emperor was angry this time but confined Jin Wang and did not reward the First Prince. No amount of punishment would be given, and the majority of it was for the sake of the Li family.”

“Mistress, what are you planning to do?”

“Qi Ming couldn’t let the Li family investigate carefully. Back then, when Qi Ming appeared in Yangzhou City, he cheated so many salt merchants, and although he used his identity as the Third Prince’s aide as cover, in the end, the silver did not reach the third prince, ultimately the silver did not reach the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince has lost his power, the Li family must be able to find some clues if they are interested in investigating. I asked you to investigate the Li family’s businesses. Did you manage to find anything?”

“Reporting to Mistress, the Li family does not have many businesses on the surface. They have some farmers and some common storefronts. They only do some grain business in Jiangnan, so there’s nothing else worth paying attention to.”

“Jiangnan?”

“Yes, the Li family does not open a grain shop but becomes a travelling merchant on the road, mainly going between Heilong City in Beizhou and Tianshui City in the Northwest. The size of the caravan is not small, and during the winter, they rested in Jiangnan. When the flood hit Linjiang City, they also took the initiative to transport grain and made a good reputation.”

Mu Yunyao slightly lowered her eyes. “In Jiangnan, but they travel to and from Beizhou and Tianshui... Let someone check it out. I think there’s something wrong with this caravan. In addition, let Qi Ming be careful. It is better to pass on less information than to expose himself. I’ll think of a way to make the Li family spare no effort to investigate him and Yi Bao Xuan.”

“Yes, your subordinate will go now.”

Mu Yunyao looked at Liu Liang’s arm and said, “You’re injured, so let the others go.”

“This subordinate is fine.” After Liu Liang finished his words, he immediately left the room.

Jin Lan walked in. “Miss, why do I feel like Liu Liang is a bit weird as if he is throwing a tantrum?”

“Perhaps he’s just not reconciled to being beaten by Wei Jiu. Send some medicine over and let him rest well for the next two days. If he’s too busy, I’ll get Wei Jiu to help him.”

“Yes.”

When Liu Liang returned after notifying Qi Ming, he saw the medicine on the table. His cold expression immediately softened.

Wei Jiu appeared like a ghost, squatting on Liu Liang’s window sill and looking at him with burning eyes. “Liu Liang, your martial arts are not bad, but your moves are too broad and wide. You can deal with ordinary people, but it’s not enough to deal with assassins. Are you interested in joining the Shadow Guard?”

He turned his head around and looked at Wei Jiu coldly, “Did Mistress ask you to come?”

“No, I think you’re talented. Although you’re old, you should still be fine after some training. Don’t you want to stay by Mistress’s side for a long time?”

Liu Liang put away the wound medicine and ignored Wei Jiu.

“Come and find me once you’ve thought it through.” Wei Jiu spoke with a firm tone. He quickly disappeared after taking a look at Liu Liang. Liu Liang gripped the bottle tightly as the light in his eyes gradually faded. His empty eyes were filled with a sense of loss. “Mistress has another Shadow Guard by her side. He can help her less and less....”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 573

~ OLDER GINGER ARE SPICIER ~ 

Seeing the gardeners’ expressions filled with difficulty, Mu Yunyao couldn’t bear to see Yue Wang and Eunuch Cheng make things hard for them again. “Fourth Master, did you not invite anyone to draw a blueprint to rebuild the garden?”

“I don’t like people pointing fingers in my house.” Yue Wang lowered his gaze to look at Mu Yunyao as if his words carried some hidden meaning.

Mu Yunyao’s eyes were filled with smiles. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Yue Wang with watery eyes. “Then how about I draw on the blueprints and let the gardeners build it?”

“Alright!” Yue Wang agreed fast as if waiting for Mu Yunyao’s words.

“Let the gardeners stop their work first. I will draw up the blueprints in two days and then let them take action. I can see that the lotus pond over there is not bad, but did Fourth Master give some guidance?”

Yue coughed uneasily and said, “When the lotus pond was built, I was in Jiangnan. It should be under the watch of the gardeners themselves.”

“Didn’t Eunuch Cheng offer any pointers too?”

Upon hearing his question, Eunuch Cheng couldn’t help but turn away. “At that time, I was worried about Wang Ye, so I didn’t have the time to guide them. Does Miss find anything to be dissatisfied with? If there is, let the gardeners change it.”

“No, it looks pretty good to me.” Mu Yunyao endured her laughter. It could be said that the scenery around the entire palace, which included the lotus pond, could already be easily seen.

With this, Yue Wang and Eunuch Cheng’s expressions grew even more awkward.

Eunuch Cheng signaled for the gardeners to rest for the time being, saying, “Your Highness, accompany Miss to the lotus pond to enjoy the scenery. This servant will instruct people to prepare food.”

“Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Cheng.”

Although the lotus pond wasn’t big, it was beautifully built. The white jade railings were carved with patterns of flying birds, fish, and insects. A small pavilion was built on the shore, and there was a winding path.

Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang sat beside the pavilion and leaned against the railing as they looked at the layers of lotus leaves in the pond. Occasionally, a red koi would swim past, causing the lotus pond to ripple.

The breeze blew gently, and sitting by the lotus pond felt comfortable.

There was a light smile on Mu Yunyao’s lips. After admiring the scenery in the lotus pond, she leaned on Yue Wang’s shoulder.

Yue Wang’s expression instantly became extremely gentle, slightly relaxing his shoulders, allowing Mu Yunyao to lean on him more comfortably.

Neither of them spoke, but there was an especially warm atmosphere that flowed between the two of them. They felt extraordinarily satisfied, even if they just got along in silence like this.

Mu Yunyao had been running back and forth these past few days, spending her mind and energy helping Min Fanghua prepare her wedding dress. Now, as she leaned on Yue Wang’s body and smelled the refreshing air coming from his body, she gradually fell asleep after relaxing. Yue Wang felt his shoulders grow heavy. He turned his head to look at Mu Yunyao and discovered that her breathing was exceptionally steady. It was obvious that she was fast asleep. Yue Wang slowly reached out his hands to hold Mu Yunyao in his arms. Looking at her defenseless state, he felt his heart soften. Her gaze carefully swept over her face inch by inch as if he was trying to carve her appearance deep into his heart.

Eunuch Cheng had come over halfway, but before he got close, he saw them snuggling together and hurriedly stopped.

Yu Heng rarely had a string in his head and asked, “Eunuch Cheng, although summer now, the water’s edge is humid. Should we send a light blanket over to Your Highness?”

Eunuch Cheng turned around and looked him straight in the eye. “Are you stupid?”

“Aren’t I thinking for the sake of Master? With a blanket, it can still show that Master is considerate, can’t it?”

Eunuch Cheng sighed, “Yu Heng, do you know why you haven’t found a wife yet?”

“I’m in no hurry.”

“Even if you want to be anxious, someone has to be willing to talk to you. Let me tell you a trick. When a man and a woman get along, the colder they are, the less you can prepare clothes, the more thirsty they are, the less you can prepare more water, the more they say don’t… cough cough, it’s too advanced for you to understand. The previous two moves are more than enough.”

Yu Heng doubted in his heart, “Eunuch Cheng, how do you know all this? You’re not... cough cough ….”

Eunuch Cheng put his hands behind his back and ignored Yu Heng with an unfathomable expression. He then turned and walked away.

Yu Heng didn’t quite understand, so he pulled Yu Yi over and said, “Why didn’t Eunuch Cheng let us end a blanket?”

Yu Yi blinked and looked at Wang Ye’s way of hugging Miss Mu. “Wang Ye’s firepower is great, does he still need a blanket when he hold Miss?”

Yu Heng swallowed his saliva, “Is there no need for that?”

“Is it useful?”

“It seems... it doesn’t matter.”

“Then why aren’t you on guard?”

Yu Heng nodded dumbfounded and said, “Sure enough, older gingers are spicier!”

When Mu Yunyao woke up, the sun had already set in the west, leaving only the fiery red afterglow hanging in the sky. This sleep of hers was unexpectedly particularly sweet.

“You’re awake?” Yue Wang’s voice was low and gloomy, the soft mumble causing people’s hearts to feel numb.

“Fourth Master?” Mu Yunyao’s remaining drowsiness instantly faded as she hurriedly sat up. “I … I actually fell asleep.”

“These days, you’ve been too tired. Blame me, I should have let you go back to Qin Fang Garden to rest first.”

Mu Yunyao saw that Yue Wang wasn’t moving and looked at the sky, so she guessed that his shoulder must have gone numb. She hurriedly stepped forward and gently massaged him, “Fourth Master, why didn’t you wake me up?”

Yue Wang felt that Mu Yunyao’s strength was satisfactory and could not help but narrow his eyes. “It’s rare to have such a good opportunity to accompany you, how could I bear to wake you up?”

Mu Yunyao’s heart was sweet, and the atmosphere within the small pavilion became even warmer.

Yu Heng was standing in the distance. Initially, he had been looking in their direction, but he had unknowingly turned his head away.

Yu Yi asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing, I just saw Master and Miss Mu sleeping together. I’m feel really lonely.”

“You’ve always been like this. It’s been so many years, and you’re still not used to it?”

Yu Heng choked, “Are you still my brother?”

Yu Yi patted Yu Heng’s shoulder, “Actually,if you don’t look at Master and Miss Mu, it doesn’t feel very obvious. Look at this, you can go to Jiangnan to help Steward Qin and I’m serve Master in the residence. I think it’s good to be alone.”

“No, I need to get used to it.” Yu Heng hurriedly refused.

Yu Yi grunted, “Are you still my brother?”

“Come to think of it, we aren’t brothers.” Yu Heng glanced at him. “Aren’t you going to help Eunuch Cheng prepare a meal?”

“Eunuch Cheng dislikes my help.” Yu Yi sighed, “In the past, I used to eat good food every day in western Guangdong. Back then, he was lacking in manpower, and I was even working as a chef for a period of time. Now, he despise me.”

Yu Heng turned his head around. “It’s not like you’ve been despised for a day or two, but you’re still not used to it yet?”

“Scram!”

Mu Yunyao didn’t know about the conversation between Yu Heng and Yu Yi. When they walked towards the courtyard, seeing the strange atmosphere between them, she couldn’t help but ask, “The two of them aren’t young anymore, right?”

“Hm, what’s wrong?”

“Jin Lan and Jin Qiao are all around the same age. If they’re interested, I’d like to make a match for them.”

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 572

~ CRY OUT LOUD ~ 

Grand Princess Yi felt heartache for Mu Yunyao because she had to go back and forth between the Palace and Ni Yun Fang. Because nothing was happening in the Palace then, she informed the Emperor and brought her back to Qinfang Garden for a temporary stay.

Only after spending an entire month did Mu Yunyao finally complete the embroidery of the wedding dress. After the dress was finished, the embroidery ladies were speechless and looked at the wedding dress in front of them. This dress was really beautiful.

Mu Yunyao moved her sore wrist, and the corner of her mouth curled up in satisfaction.

Yu Wang accompanied Min Fanghua into the room. Just as he was about to greet Mu Yunyao, he saw the wedding dress hanging on the wall and immediately held his breath.

Min Fanghua covered her lips and exclaimed. When she came back to her senses, her normally dignified and calm face revealed traces of excitement. “Princess, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Mu Yunyao slightly pursed her lips. “Elder Sister Min, you don’t have to be so polite. When I get married in the future, you and Yu Wang can just send me a few more congratulatory gifts.” If, as expected, Yu Wang ascends to the throne as Emperor in the future, Min Fanghua will be the future mother of the nation. If she spends more time today, the rewards will be endless later.

“Okay, definitely.” Min Fanghua took this intention into her heart. She couldn’t help but stroke the embroidery on her bridal dress to try it on.

Mu Yunyao hurriedly stopped her, saying, “Elder Sister Min, wedding clothes can only be worn once in a lifetime, so today you can only see the pattern and style if there is anything that needs to be changed. It’s impossible to try it on.”

“When I saw how beautiful her dress was, I felt an itch in my heart. I even forgot about this rule.” Min Fanghua’s eyes were full of bright yearning. For the first time, she felt that the wedding date had been set a little too late. If it had been earlier, she could have worn it earlier.

The wedding date was getting closer and closer, and the Min family was becoming more and more strict. Today, Min Fanghua was only given one hour. She finished looking at her wedding dress and talked for a while, but seeing that the time was up, she could only reluctantly leave.

After sending her away, the corner of Mu Yunyao’s lips curved up in a sincere smile.

Yue Wang walked over to her side and told Cai Yi and the rest to retreat. After holding Mu Yunyao’s hand, he lowered his head against her forehead. “Yao’er, it’s almost July now.”

Mu Yunyao’s eyes flashed, acting as if she didn’t understand, “That’s right, it’s already the middle of June, the weather is too hot.”

Yue Wang stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: “There’s less than three months left in the one-year agreement, you better not go back on your word. If you have the time, you should start preparing for the wedding dress as soon as possible. My Yao’er is unparalleled in beauty. When you’re wearing red, you would definitely be able to beat everyone else.”

Mu Yunyao forcefully hit him on the head, “Then let’s see if you’re going to work hard or not.” After which, she ran off.

Yue Wang rubbed his forehead as he grabbed Mu Yunyao’s sleeve with his long arm. The smooth silk cloth was like a naughty silverfish, breaking free from his grasp in the blink of an eye, causing one’s heart to itch even more.

After a while, their laughter gradually died down.

Yue Wang drew the person beside him and said, “Yao’er, the lotus flowers in our residence have bloomed. Eunuch Cheng has been asking you to go and admire the flowers. If you have time today, why don’t you go and take a look?”

“Sure.” Thinking of Eunuch Cheng, Mu Yunyao got Cai Yi to pack some new pastries. After changing her clothes, which had become slightly wrinkled from the movement caused by Yue Wang, she got on the carriage and headed towards Yue Wang’s residence.

Within Yue Wang’s residence, Eunuch Cheng directed the gardeners to plant the flowers with his hands behind his back. He was frowning as he walked around, and his eyes were full of criticism. “Aren’t you the best gardeners? How can you build a flower garden like this? Ugly?”

The few gardeners looked at each other and almost burst into tears. The gardeners frequently conversed with each other. They all shook their heads and sighed when talking about this barren residence.

This courtyard had originally been Qin Wang’s abandoned residence. Qin Wang had failed when competing for the throne with the Emperor, so his estate naturally wouldn’t be in good condition. With Yue Wang absent from the Capital for so long, this place would have become a wasteland if two or three servants had not been stationed there.

They once bet whoever could clean up Yue Wang’s residence would be invited to eat in Xiang Man Lou for a month. In the end, within two days, Eunuch Cheng had his men bring them here, and then a scene happened before them.

The gardeners squatted on the ground, looking at the gorgeous flowers blooming one after another. Although this garden was called a flower garden, it still had to emphasize colour matching, orderly height, variety matching, and auspicious meaning. What’s the matter with planting all kinds of flowers together?

The gardeners who repaired the fake mountain passed by and saw the gardeners who squatted on the ground planting flowers. Their eyes were filled with schadenfreude. After repairing this place, perhaps no mansion would dare to invite them to repair the garden again. After all, the flower garden is too dazzling.

Yu Yi ran over quickly, “Eunuch Cheng, Wang Ye is here with Princess Wenxian. Please go take a look quickly.”

Eunuch Cheng’s eyes lit up as he quickly approached the front door.

When he arrived, Yue Wang was helping Mu Yunyao out of the carriage.

Mu Yunyao wore a long blue dress without anything embroidered on it. With a watery glow, superior silk and satin fluttered ethereal in her gentle movements. Coupled with her simple accessories, it looked fresh and natural with a single glance, with an ethereal aura.

As for Yue Wang, who supported her, he was dressed in black. He had a tall and slender figure and a cold expression on his face, but his eyes were full of gentle warmth, and he was cautious in his movements for fear of collision.

The two of them stood together, one soft, one tough, one light and one steady. It was simply a match made in heaven.

Eunuch Cheng’s only remaining eye was almost invisible when he smiled. After appreciating it enough, he stepped forward to pay his respects. “Greetings, Your Royal Highness and Miss Mu.”

“There’s no need to be so courteous, Eunuch Cheng,” Mu Yunyao said. When she saw the smiling expression on Eunuch Cheng’s face, the smile on her lips became even more genuine, “I brought a few snacks. They’re not very sweet, so they ought to suit Eunuch’s taste. I’ll take it over and try it later.”

Eunuch Cheng was moved. “Thank you, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao walked into Yue Wang’s residence and saw the scenery inside. Her steps paused as she turned to look at Yue Wang. “Fourth Master, are you repairing the courtyard?”

“Yes.” Yue Wang looked at the front yard. There was an extra fake mountain, some flowers were planted, and two cobblestone paths were paved. It was much more lively than the previously empty courtyard. “Yao’er, do you like it?”

Mu Yunyao blinked, unable to say a single word in her heart. “The backyard has also been repaired?”

“Yes, Eunuch Cheng had people build flower gardens, and the gardeners are growing flowers right now.”

“Then why don’t we go take a look?”

“Alright.”

Looking at the so-called flower garden and then at Yue Wang’s expressionless face, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but ask, “Fourth Master, do you think this flower garden is beautiful?”

The expression on Yue Wang’s face was a bit cold and hard: “Looking at the flowers, it’s not bad to see the bright colors.”

Eunuch Cheng interjected, dissatisfied with his words: “Forgive me, Miss. These gardeners are not good at craftsmanship. I remember that a flower garden was built on the side of the Bu Xian Luo, which looks very eye-catching. Who knows, these craftsmen have completely changed their taste since they planted them.” The gardeners who heard this bowed their heads. That is what they built, so their value has risen, and various mansions have invited them to repair the garden. But after finishing the renovation of Yue Wang’s residence, they may have lost their jobs.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 571

~ BESIDES, THE TEARS ARE FALLING ~ 

It took an hour before Mu Yunyao finished helping the poisonous lady dress up. After carefully helping her tidy up her dress, she took two steps back and nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad.”

The poisonous lady looked in the mirror and saw that the person in the mirror had fair skin. The powder had been applied perfectly, completely covering the inconspicuous scars on her face. Her face was slightly rounded, with pink cheeks, a rosy nose, cherry lips, and black eyes, revealing a gentle and pure aura everywhere.

Mu Yunyao also didn’t expect the poisonous lady’s true appearance to be so tender, and it was difficult for her to combine her appearance with that of the ruthless girl from her previous life.

The poisonous lady stared blankly at the figure reflected in the mirror, her expression absent-minded. She was in her current state when she first entered the Jianghu world in Medicine Immortal Valley. At that time, she was still ignorant of the world’s affairs. Her eyes were as clear as a spring, and even her sadness revealed a sense of innocence; until she encountered the catastrophe in her life. She only took a startled glance to fall in love with that person, and she had spent three years’ worth of time pouring her heart out to him. Yet, he was ruthlessly thrown to the ground, crushed into dust. Her appearance is identical, but her eyes never return to their original innocence.

Mu Yunyao smiled as she stood at the side. She asked the question she had asked in her previous life, “Do you regret it?”

The poisonous lady shook her head. “No regrets!”

Mu Yunyao stayed silent for a moment before asking, “Why?”

“Because I do love him.” Although Han Mochen initially wanted to deceive her and make use of her, she did give out her feelings.

Although Han Mochen had intended to deceive and take advantage of her initially, she had really given out her feelings. She couldn’t take it back even if she loved the wrong person. The love made her heartbroken, but she still didn’t regret loving once with all her heart and soul.

Mu Yunyao nodded. Originally, she didn’t understand the words of the poisonous lady, but now, she could understand a little after she was together with Yue Wang.

If Yue Wang failed her in the future, she would make the same choice as the poisonous lady. She would kill him, avenge her revenge, and then bury all her love and hatred in her heart, living a free and easy life alone. When someone asked her if she regretted it, she should also say... no regrets. The poisonous lady touched her cheek and shook her head lightly. She watched as the steps shook, and the jade beads made a crisp sound as they collided, suppressing the emotions in her heart. She said proudly, “It’s more convenient for me to poison you like this. There will be no doubts after poisoning. I haven’t seen my appearance for many years, and I miss it now.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile. “Shameless.”

The poisonous lady ignored her and said, “Oh right, bring me to see the Grand Princess. Don’t call me the poisonous lady, just call me Xian Ling’er.”

Mu Yunyao almost choked on her saliva, “Your real name is Xian Ling’er?”

“That’s right. My father gave it to me. Speaking of which, my father did love me back then, and if I hadn’t stubbornly insisted on marrying Han Mochen, he wouldn’t have died so early on. Back then, when I made such a huge mistake, I was jointly expelled by the elders of the Medicine Immortal Valley. The old man fought hard for a long time to keep me, and he cried worse than me at that time... Thinking about it now, I was really unfilial.”

A smile was on the corners of the poisonous lady’s lips, but her eyes were brimming with tears. She sniffed with her nose, suppressing the tears surging towards her. “Yunyao, thank you. If you hadn’t given me this opportunity, I might still be immersed in the past and find it difficult to get out of it. If that had happened, my father would have been so angry that he would have jumped up and down from the ground. Give me two jars of your osmanthus wine. My father is greedy for wine and loves arty style. He has collected a lot of osmanthus brewed and peach blossom brewed. Afterwards, he didn’t let me leave the valley, so I secretly poured everything into the medicinal field for him. In his anger, he chased me three li with a long sword. Alas, considering now, it’s really unfilial. Ah, now that I think about it, he truly is unfilial.”

“Alright, I’ll Si Shu sent over to you later. I also have peach blossom wine. It’s made with peach blossom snow, petals, and some fruits. It tastes very good. I’ll bring you two jars of it.”

“Mn, when I return from Medicine Immortal Valley, I’ll bring you some good medicinal materials. After so many years have passed, I still don’t know if my father’s private treasury has been robbed. Sigh, let’s not talk about that anymore. Furthermore, tears are about to fall.” The poisonous lady raised her head as if she wanted to let her tears flow back. “After painstakingly put the makeup, if there are tears after another, which is not good-looking.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but chuckle as she stepped forward and held her hand. “Let’s go.”

“What are you doing?”

“Go to see My Grandmother. Don’t you want to follow her? I’ll take you to ask.”

“Are you willing to part with me?”

“I can bear it, I can bear it. Who knows, maybe if I send you out, I might even be able to pick up two people who know medicine and poison.”

“Hmph. The people you picked up definitely aren’t as beautiful as me.”

When the poisonous lady saw Mu Yunyao holding her hand, she squeezed it gently. Her fingers were soft and warm, giving off an extremely good feeling. It was so fragile that it seemed to break with a single pinch, but she still pulled her out of the dilemma.

“I don’t know if I look better than you, but I’m sure I’m not as thick-skinned as you.”

“I don’t know if you look good, but I’m sure you’re not as thick-skinned as me.”

“You touch it, my face is very smooth, where is the thickness?”

“I’ve applied quite a bit of makeup on you, I can’t even feel the flesh.”

“Then wait until I wash them tonight before you can touch them.” The poisonous lady giggled and even used her finger to hook onto Mu Yunyao’s palm ambiguously.

Mu Yunyao regretted not keeping Ta Xue by her side. Otherwise, she could throw Ta Xue over her and would have made her behave, “You still have scars on your face after washing it. I’m afraid I’ll have a nightmare after touching it, so forget it.”

“Hmph.” The poisonous lady followed Mu Yunyao to the main hall and hurriedly stopped to tidy her clothes. Her eyes were bright and filled with reverence.

“Greetings, Grandmother.”

Grand Princess Yi De raised her head and saw the poisonous lady behind Mu Yunyao. Her gaze couldn’t help but twitch. “I really didn’t expect that the poisonous lady’s original appearance would actually be so charming and alluring.”

“Grand Princess, how did you recognize me?” She was so excited.

Grand Princess Yi De smiled softly, and the light in her phoenix eyes was gentle. “A person’s appearance can change, but their eyes and aura cannot deceive you. Naturally, I recognized you at a glance.”

“Grand Princess, please take me in. I know medicine and poison, I want to served by your side.”

Grand Princess Yi De was startled momentarily, but then she smiled and nodded. “Fine. However, staying by my side has many restrictions. Why not follow Yao’er? She has a simple personality and always needs someone to take care of her. Are you willing to help me?”

The poisonous lady glanced at Mu Yunyao, secretly feeling pleased, “Alright, please be at ease, Grand Princess. I’ll take good care of Yunyao.”

Mu Yunyao was a little helpless. She had never felt that poisonous lady’s temperament was so free, but now she felt like a child, naive and friendly.

After she saw Grand Princess Yi De, the poisonous lady took the wine that Mu Yunyao had prepared and left the palace, heading towards Medicine Immortal Valley. At the same time, Mu Yunyao concentrated on following the embroidery ladies of Ni Yun Fang to prepare Min Fanghua’s wedding dress.

Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 570

~ RESTORED APPEARANCE ~

The Emperor ordered the Third Prince to be confined, and he didn’t smile for several days in the Imperial Court. The officials below only chose some praiseworthy things to report, while the others could be postponed momentarily.

The commoners, on the other hand, were in high spirits. They did not feel the depression of the Imperial Court at all.

This time, although the break-in of the Linjiang River implicated three cities, causing the deaths of many citizens, the final result was a joyous event for them. Because after this disaster, they no longer had to worry about the effects of the plague. After finding out that the recipe for the plague was submitted to the Emperor by Princess Wenxian, many commoners went to burn incense and kowtow at the gates of Ni Yun Fang. Especially in the morning, when many officials went to the Imperial Court, they purposely avoided Ni Yun Fang’s streets because there were too many commoners and tables, making it inconvenient for carriages and horses to pass.

Immediately afterward, the ten thousand people’s umbrellas from Jiangnan were delivered to the Capital. There were nine of them in total, and after they were opened, they were densely signed with people’s names, blotting out the sun and covering the sky.

The Emperor had his people place the umbrella on the square before the Golden Hall. When the officials came to the Imperial Court, they could see it with a glance and only feel their hearts tremble.

Because of the support of the people, the Emperor, who had always been in a low mood, finally smiled.

In the afternoon, Mu Yunyao got someone to transport the silver they had exchanged to the Palace.

The Emperor looked at the chests sent to him and couldn’t help but smile. “It’s only been a month, but I’ve earned so much silver?”

Mu Yunyao nodded, unable to conceal the pleased expression on her face. “Your Majesty, these 16.000 taels are for you, and the other 16.000 taels are for Grandmother. I’ve already arranged the account books. Does Your Majesty want to inspect them personally?”

“There’s no need. I naturally trust you when you do things.” The Emperor looked at the boxes of silver coins and felt a sense of novelty. “I heard that some time ago, the commoners often went to the vicinity of Ni Yun Fang to offer incense, causing those guests who wanted to buy clothes to be unable to enter. Is the situation better now?”

Hearing this, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but frown. “Speaking of this matter, Yunyao wanted to ask the Emperor for help. Because people often gather around Ni Yun Fang, I can only close the shop temporarily. I’ve lost quite a bit of silver these days. Your Majesty, you don’t know. I’m frustrated these days. The people went to offer incense, and the whole street was covered in smoke, so they had to change their clothes along the way. I tried to persuade them several times, but they still wouldn’t listen. The clothes sold in Ni Yun Fang were all made of fiber, so no matter how beautiful they were, they would still carry the scent of smoke.

If I can’t earn silver, I will die from anxiety. “

The Emperor could not help but laugh. “Being able to be supported by the commoners, I don’t know how many people can’t ask for it. But when it comes to you, I feel the smoke is too heavy, so it seems you are too childish.”

“Your Majesty, I only want to earn silver by operating Ni Yun Fang. Of course, my reputation must be considered, but there’s no need for more. I feel that the reputations of Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo are a bit too flourishing. Your Majesty, why don’t you think of a way to suppress it? After all, both places deal in business, and it is inevitable that they will be tired of their reputation, so they will have to make a lot less silver!”

After listening to what she said, the Emperor’s little concern gradually dissipated, “It’s not necessary to suppress anymore. Your Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo have done many good deeds for the people and should be commended. In a few days, I will prepare to build a temple to record the achievements and demerits of this natural disaster, commemorate the deceased people in flood, and record the achievements of overcoming the plague so that future generations can look up.”

Mu Yunyao nodded repeatedly. “Well, in this way, the commoners won’t have to go to the front of Ni Yun Fang to burn incense.”

Hearing that she was only concerned about this, the Emperor didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “There aren’t many political issues today. Let’s go to Yuhua Palace for dinner. I heard you’ve researched several medicinal foods in the past few days?”

“Yes, the weather is hot, so Grandmother’s appetite isn’t very good. Eating some medicinal meals can be delicious and nourishing. If the Emperor is going to eat there, then I’ll go back and prepare it and personally cook it for you to taste.”

“Alright.”

The dinner was extremely enjoyable, and the rain finally began to fall in the Imperial Court.

After half a month, the bandage on the poisonous lady’s face could finally be removed.

Mu Yunyao woke up early in the morning and insisted on personally helping the poisonous lady remove the gauze.

The poisonous lady looked slightly uncomfortable with her solemn expression. Thus, she couldn’t help but laugh and tease, “Hmph, it’s useless for you to try to please me now. I’ve already decided to stay by the side of Grand Princess Yi De. Don’t think that these little favors can bribe me.”

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes and glanced at her, not paying much attention as she intently removed the gauze.

The poisonous lady felt that something was amiss. “Did you do something shameful? Could it be that you poisoned the medicinal materials you collected for me? Did you come here today to help me remove the gauze just to watch me disfigure myself a second time?”

Mu Yunyao curled her lips and nodded, “That’s right, I’ve even poisoned your food. Who knows, it won’t be long before you are poisoned to death.”

The poisonous lady curled her lips and pinched Mu Yunyao’s cheek. “Look what you’re capable of. Can’t I tell if I am poisoned?”

“That’s not necessarily true. I’ve been studying my medical skills hard these days, and I feel I’ve completely surpassed you.” Mu Yunyao patted her hand. “Stop messing around. I’ll use a bit of force later and pull your nose out of the way.”

The poisonous lady’s breath caught in her throat, and she finally calmed down.

Mu Yunyao opened the gauze and used a soft, wet handkerchief to clean the poisonous lady’s face. Seeing that her face was so pale that only the faint scars were left, she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.

The poisonous lady looked at her face in the bronze mirror and couldn’t help but be stunned. “I haven’t seen this face for many years. I didn’t expect... it’s still so beautiful.”

Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but roll her eyes and get someone to pour water over, “Quickly go wash up.”

The poisonous lady happily washed off the medicinal paste on her face and looked in the mirror repeatedly. “Yunyao, try out the medicinal paste I left for you. The effect is quite good.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“Sigh, you truly do not recognize my kindness. Just look at my current skin. Even if I say I’m eighteen, people will believe me.”

“Of course, you can only look at your skin, not your face. After all, your face is ten feet thick.”

The poisonous lady snorted and touched the inconspicuous scar on her cheek. A trace of emotion flashed across her eyes, [No matter how good the medicine is, there will still be scars left after all.]

Mu Yunyao stood behind her. She was happy for her in her heart, “I’ll help you dress up and make sure you become a great beauty. Let me comb your hair first.”

Seeing Mu Yunyao’s excitement, the poisonous lady didn’t refuse. Still, after a quarter of an hour, the poisonous lady grinned at the bronze mirror: “You’re trying to take revenge on me. Look at my hair. It’s almost all combed out by you.”

Mu Yunyao looked at the hair on the rhinoceros horn comb. She quickly removed it and threw it on the ground, “Who made your hair grow like grass? Just take a look at my hair, it will be combed to the end.”

“Then I’m sorry for you.”

“Don’t be so polite...”

“I want to follow the Grand Princess ….”

“Shall I comb your hair again?”

“You. You dare to threaten me in such a way?”
