Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife

Chapter 169

The Lamp Outside the Window Is Warm

It was uncomfortable to live with the illness . Mu Yunyao felt even more aggrieved when she heard Su Qing’s words . She directly pulled the blanket over her head and laid down on the bed, wrapping herself in a cocoon .

Su Qing looked angry and funny: “Mother just cooked Eight Treasures Rice, don’t you want to eat some?”

Only then did Mu Yunyao pull back the blanket, revealing a pair of eyes as she said rather pitifully, “I want to . ”

“Quickly get up . Although you are not allowed to bathe, you still have to wash your hands before eating . ”

Knowing that Su Qing was worried, Mu Yunyao didn’t insist . After she finished eating the Eight Treasures Rice and drank a bowl of soup, she forced to lie on the bed .

It was unknown if it was because she had slept too much in the day, but at night she became more energetic and could not fall asleep . Su Qing originally wanted to stay by the bed and watch over her, but she was finally persuaded by Mu Yunyao to return . All she can say is that Jin Lan is left to guard outside .

Mu Yunyao looked at the window . She couldn’t help but think about the ice lantern from last night . Had it melted? It was a pity for that adorable, innocent cat…

Thinking and thinking, her expression was a little dazed . When she came back to her senses, she suddenly felt that something was wrong with the window, as if a warm light had lit up the window .

Mu Yunyao got up and put on her clothes, then walked to the window and opened it . She saw that there was a rabbit lantern with a candle around it on the edge of the window . The light was warm and swayed with the wind, but it didn’t extinguish .

In the outer room, Jin Lan heard movement in the room and quickly asked softly, “Miss, do you have any orders?”

Mu Yunyao’s hand trembled as she closed the window, “I’m going to get up and drink some water . I’m fine now . You can rest . ”

“Yes, Miss . If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me . ”

“Got it . ”

The warm light of the ice lantern shone through the window . Mu Yunyao withdrew her gaze and returned to her bed with a calm expression . Not long after, she fell asleep .

The next day, Mu Yunyao’s wind colds were still as bad as before, and it was much worse than yesterday . Her condition worried Su Qing, so she went to invite dr . Zhang Chun to come over . He changes some medicine slightly and orders Yunyao to drink it for a few more days .

Mu Yunyao knew her own condition, but if she persisted in not taking medicine, she might cause Su Qing to become anxious . Thus, she forced herself to drink unpalatable medicine .

Jin Qiao brought over a charcoal basin Jin Lan slightly opened the window a little and took a breath of charcoal from the room . “Miss, I don’t know why, but there were water stains on the window today . Your servant saw that the snow hadn’t melted, so how could there be water stains?”

“Maybe it was yesterday . ”

When she got sick, she had a poor appetite . In addition, she had to drink medicine . Mu Yunyao felt bitter in her mouth and didn’t want to eat anything . However, for e sake of Su Qing’s heart, she forced herself to eat more . At night, she felt that her appetite was bloated .

Nightfall, Mu Yunyao was lying on her bed, tossing and turning . After a while, she suddenly heard some movement by the window . She got off, put on her clothes, and walked over . Unfortunately, she could only see the cold lights, and no one has seen .

This time, it was actually a galloping horse ice lantern . The horse’s hooves were raised into a hiss shape, giving it an exceptionally handsome appearance .

Mu Yunyao’s eyes darkened as she lightly sighed . After holding the ice lantern for a while, she closed the window with her backhand .

Every night for the next ten days or so, an ice lantern would appear at the window . She carefully counted everything except for the cat that given to her on the first night . After that, all the zodiac signs appear at the window except monkey .

But that night, Mu Yunyao waited for a long time, but didn’t see the appearance of the ice lantern . It wasn’t until the horizon lit up with faint light that she finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep, but woke up again after sleeping less than an hour .

When Jin Lan saw Mu Yunyao’s appearance, she was even more worried in her heart, “Didn’t Miss get better yesterday? Why does she look so serious today?”

Mu Yunyao shook her head . Her gaze fell by the window, and her eyes were calm without the slightest ripple: Yue Wang must have finally given up, right? Since that was the case, she could now feel at ease .

By pressing down the disappointment in her heart, Mu Yunyao’s heart once again reverts to her calm state . After all, there has been a wave, and how could it be the same as before? It was just that she hadn’t discovered it yet .

“Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival . It’s time for Jin Xiu Garden to open . Are the lanterns ready?”

Jin Lan hurriedly nodded . “Miss, this servant will go take a look . Steward Qin has already prepared everything according to your orders . ”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head, “That’s good . Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, so naturally it has to be lively and bustling . ”

“Yes, look at the color of the sky today . Tomorrow is a good day, so we’ll definitely be able to get something good . ”

“Help me prepare . I’m going to see my adoptive father and mother tomorrow . ”

Jin Lan was a little worried about her health . “Miss, your current cold is not too good . Lord Cao and Lady Jin have also sent word that you should rest well and be healthy again . Why don’t we wait until after you’ve recovered?”

“They appreciate me out of affection, but no matter what, I still have to pay my respects during the Lantern Festival . It is my filial piety, but I am sick right now, so I shouldn’t stay too long with my adoptive mother to avoid crossing the sickness to her . I will only go to visit and come back after saluting . It won’t take long and won’t worsen the condition . ”

“Yes, then this servant will go down now to count the gifts . ”

“Go . ”

Within Jin Xiu Garden, Zhang Chun carefully helped Yue Wang to bandage his hands, “Wang Ye needs to take extra care to recuperate . As of now, it’s not easy to heal your wounds in the winter . In two days, you’ll have to ride back to the west of Guangdong . If your wounds aren’t healing, who knows how much pain you’ll suffer along the way . ”

“Thank you, doctor Zhang . ”

“Wang Ye is too polite . I will take my leave . ”

Steward Qin brought the food over, and upon seeing King Yue’s appearance, he could not help but feel his heartache: “Wang Ye, how could you accidentally injure your hand? The wound is so deep . You can even see the bone . If you cut the tendon by one more point, your hand will be useless . ”

“It was just a moment of carelessness . Uncle Qin, there’s no need to worry . ”

“This old servant has been serving you for many years, how could I not worry? Please do not carve that ice sculpture for now . If Miss Mu likes it, this old servant will buy a few for you to choose and send over . ”

Wang Ye had carved an ice sculpture in the daytime and sent it over in the dead of night . He was afraid that if someone found out, he would have to retrieve it before daybreak . After tormenting himself for so long, he had lost all his weight .

Yue Wang’s eyebrows moved slightly: “She’s sick now, so it’s not convenient for her to go out and enjoy the scenery . I also look at her pitiful appearance and have earned so much money for us, so I thought of a way to let her enjoy it a little . ”

“Yes, Wang Ye has always been kind-hearted . ”

Yu Yi, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but raise his head and silently grin . If one were to say that Wang Ye was kind and benevolent, those people on the Western Guangdong who turned into bones on the battlefield would probably jump up and shout in disapproval!

Yue Wang solemnly nodded his head: “Alright . ” Steward Qin withdrew himself and looked in the direction of Su residence . He sighed and comforted himself with the thought, “Good things are always hard to come by . Good things are always hard to come by …”
