Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife Chapter 333

~ I WANT TO KILL A FEW PEOPLE ~
The imperial physician had just come to take a look at his injury. He couldn’t wear too heavy clothes because of the burns on his back. So, Yue Wang only wore a light silk shirt over his body to avoid airtightness and aggravate the injury. At this moment, the clothes on his back were lifted, and a dense chill could be felt coming up from the inside, causing Yue Wang’s heart to tremble uncontrollably.
“Yunyao, this injury isn’t serious. I just need to rest for a few days.”
Mu Yunyao’s emotions were in turmoil. Last time, Yue Wang had personally led a group of people to cut off the salt ship and seriously injured. Back then, she had personally bandaged his injury and didn’t feel any special feelings. But this time, she felt a little distressed...
Mu Yunyao extended her finger and lightly touched the edge of his wound, causing Yue Wang to take in a deep breath unconsciously. She was so shocked that she promptly took back her finger. “Fourth Master, is it very painful?”
Yue Wang’s fingers on the brocade quilt are slightly clenched into a fist, and his ears covered by hair are red: “Pain!”
“I’ve brought some medicine to help you apply, but the wound is scalded and cannot be bandaged. Fortunately, the weather is cool these days, so the wound will heal faster.” As Mu Yunyao spoke, she gently and quickly helped Yue Wang to treat his wounds.
Yue Wang didn’t care about the wound on his body at all. Instead, he focused all of his attention on Mu Yunyao’s fingertip. Her movements were very gentle, as though a gentle breeze had brushed past and brought about a slightly numbing itch. That feeling seemed to be able to pierce through his heart, causing his expression to become even tenser.
After taking care of the wound, Mu Yunyao let out a breath of relief and gently helped Yue Wang to straighten his shirt, “Fourth Master, please be patient in the next few days and don’t let your wound get wet. It should be fine before the Autumn Hunt in September.”
“Cough....” Yue Wang suppressed his coughing twice, a hint of red appearing on his pale face.
Mu Yunyao’s heart tightened, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch his forehead. “Could it be that Fourth Master has a fever?” Feeling the intense heat on his forehead, she immediately grabbed his wrist to check his pulse.
“It should be a fever due to injuries. I’ll write down the prescription and have Yu Heng prepare the medicinal ingredients. After drinking two sets of medicine, you should be fine.”
Yue Wang remained calm and collected as he nodded his head, trying his best to suppress the unease in his eyes. “How is Madam Su? Are her injuries serious?”
Thinking about Su Qing’s injury, a trace of gloominess flashed through Mu Yunyao’s heart. “The sprained wound on her leg is not serious, but her throat was choked by the thick smoke. I think she’ll need to rest for a while.”
“I’ve asked Yu Heng to investigate the room where the fire broke out, but he didn’t find any clues. However, if it’s an accident, then it’s a bit too much of a coincidence.”
“It’s Su Yuyi and Qi Mama.”
Thinking about how the Su family had allowed Meng Yanran to make things difficult for her, Yue Wang’s aura turned cold, “Yunyao, why did the Su family make things difficult for you? This time they are even trying to kill you. Do you notice anything strange?”
“I’m also surprisingly curious. It seems like the Su family has a deep grudge against Mother and me.” Mu Yunyao’s heart became heavier, “Right now, we can only use force to deal with the situation. The Su family wants to harm Mother and me, so I naturally will not sit here and wait to die. Let’s see who has the best methods.”
“Do you need my help?”
Mu Yunyao’s aura froze, and she lifted her eyes to look at Yue Wang. His gaze was no longer as cold as when they first met. Instead, it was filled with traces of gentleness and worry, causing her to feel a little uncomfortable unconsciously.
Yue Wang’s thoughts towards her have been so obvious. Previously, she could tell herself to keep her distance, but now that he had just saved her mother. If she was still like before, she would be ungrateful to him.
At this moment, Yue Wang was leaning on the head of the bed, while Mu Yunyao was sitting on the edge of the bed for convenience’s sake. At such a close distance, Yue Wang could clearly hear Mu Yunyao’s breathing. It was softly and shallowly as if feathers were brushing against his heart, causing his heart to feel warmth and itch.
Mu Yunyao slightly raised her head. Her clear eyes contained a trace of bewilderment and helplessness, causing others to be unable to stop their heart from feeling pity for her.
Yue Wang seemed to be bewitched. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on the side of her face, and gently rubbed his thumb across her eyes. His warm and exquisite touch had a heavy temptation, which tempted him to place his palm on her.
The warmth of her face made Mu Yunyao slightly stiff. When she came to her senses, she tried to avoid it. But in the next moment, she forcefully restrained her movements.
However, Yue Wang quickly retracted his hand, and his smile contained an unspeakable astringency, “Yunyao, you … You don’t have to be like this. I saved Madam Su voluntarily and did not rely on this favor to exchange for something from you.”
Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes rapidly changing. All sorts of complex emotions surged as if they could knock people down., However, in the next moment, she suppressed them all. “Fourth Master, you don’t plan on returning to Western Guangdong, do you?”
Yue Wang was unable to guess Mu Yunyao’s intentions and replied truthfully: “That’s right. This time, I come to the Capital, and I do not plan to go back.”
“Then... Is the Fourth Master have enough manpower in the Capital?” Mu Yunyao raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of Yue Wang. There was nervousness, caution, and even more carefully probing him.
Yue Wang’s heart tightened. At this moment, Mu Yunyao was like a mandarin duck cat that had been hurt by someone. She carefully tested her front paw and wanted to see if she could get a kind response.
Yue Wang’s suddenly turned emotionally, as his heart pounded like a drum. He deliberately lowered his voice, hoping to make himself more gentle. He did not want to scare the claws that she had just probed out away. “It’s still lacked a bit.”
Mu Yunyao sucked in a small breath as if she had made up her mind with determination. “Then does Fourth Master need a person that can help you earn silver? You must have your own plans for coming to the Capital, but you have to use silver to pave the way for every move. Those silver taels that you earned in Jingling City, if not as expected, should have cost a lot. I can help Fourth Master earn a lot of silver to support you, so that you can fulfill your wish. How about that?”
“What do you want in return?”
“When my mother and I returned to the Su family, I thought that we had found our loved ones, but in reality, the Su family viewed us as their enemies, like thorns in their eyes, thorns in their flesh, and they even tried to get rid of us. My mother and I are on our own and alone. I will help Fourth Master earn some silver taels, and Fourth Master will protect Mother and me. How about that?”
Yue Wang shook his head slightly. “Even if you don’t help me earn silver taels, I will still ensure the safety of you and Madam Su. You can also make another request.”
Mu Yunyao bit her tongue lightly, the frost in her eyes gradually spreading out. After a moment of silence, she coldly said, “I want to kill a few people, and those people are Fourth Master’s subordinates. Can you agree to that?”
Yue Wang frowned and asked in shock: “My subordinates?”
“That’s right, will Fourth Master agree?” Mu Yunyao looked at Yue Wang, the temperature in her eyes becoming colder and colder.
The time she spent together this time really made her treat Yue Wang differently. However, in her previous life, she had died a miserable death in Yue Wang’s residence, and the grudge she had with him still lingered in her heart. Although her death was not directly related to Yue Wang, it was actually done by his subordinates.
Right now, she wanted to give herself a chance, just like her mother had said. Even if she knew that there would be hardships in the future, she was still willing to give it a try. As long as Yue Wang agrees, she will try to forget the past life and have a try. However, with Yue Wang’s personality, why would he agree to such an unreasonable request just because of a single sentence…
