Chapter 523
~ INTENTIONALLY UNLEASHED HATRED ~
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes with a smile in them. “What are you saying? Jin Wang is my Third Imperial Uncle. How can I possibly harm him?”
The poisonous lady frowned, her scarred face looking somewhat hideous because of her actions. “Hmph, then how did Jin Wang offend you?” Would you like me to make you some poison so you can make him disappear silently…”
“No need, He’s His Royal Highness Jin Wang. He’s not ordinary cat or dog. Poisoning him would bring a lot of trouble. Moreover, there are many ways to torture someone, so killing him would be a cheaper.”
The poisonous lady sighed, “It seems you really hate Jin Wang to the bones. Tell me, how has he provoked you?”
“He killed me in the previous life. Is this considered a deep grudge?”
“You … Hrmph.” The poisonous lady lay back on the soft couch and stop eat the red grapes. She took off her veil that covered her face. When she asked about serious business, Mu Yunyao said things about her previous life, which she almost believed.
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but have a smile on her face. “You can stay here for a while. I’ll be right back.”
When Mu Yunyao left, the poisonous lady hurriedly followed her out.
After coming to Mu Yunyao’s side, she found that she was extremely comfortable. She could even remove the veil on her face without hesitation as if she was sure Yunyao wouldn’t be scared and alienated by her appearance. She had never experienced such a feeling before. She initially wanted to find out the bottom of the salt tax case, but she never thought she would run into someone on good terms with her. Naturally, she wanted to take good care of her.
Mu Yunyao arrived at Jin Wang’s room. Just as she entered, she saw Yue Wang sitting inside. She couldn’t help but be slightly startled, “Greetings, Third Imperial Uncle. Greetings, Your Royal Highness Yue Wang.”
Jin Wang’s eyes moved slightly, “Did Yao’er and Fourth Imperial Brother have an appointment? He just came in here. and you’re come.”
Mu Yunyao smiled in her heart. “It’s just a coincidence. I didn’t expect Your Royal Highness Yue Wang would be here.”
“Yunyao calls me Third Imperial Uncle. How can you call Fourth Brother Yue Wang?” Jin Wang’s eyes were full of smiles.
Mu Yunyao’s eyes were clear, and her smile didn’t have the slightest gloominess, “Didn’t Third Imperial Uncle already have a guess? Are you deliberately testing us by saying these words now?”
The corners of Jin Wang’s eyes twitched, squinting slightly, and a stream of light flashed passed, “Haha, I never expected Yunyao to be so honest.”
“Third Imperial Uncle is also not an outsider. Moreover, I only told you about this matter. I’m sure you won’t speak carelessly about it everywhere, right?”
“Of course not.”
Yue Wang went forward to help Mu Yunyao carry the medicine box and set it by the side. He had naturally received the news Jin Wang had sent someone to invite Mu Yunyao, so he had come a while in advance to wait.
Over this time, Yunyao’s hostility towards Jin Wang had become very obvious. Although he didn’t know when the two of them had formed a feud, with Jin Wang’s hypocritical personality, he was worried that Yunyao would be alone with him.
Mu Yunyao lifted Jin Wang’s arm. The wound had a strange smell, and some parts had already turned black, “Your Royal Highness, you should know that a great disaster happened in Linjiang City, and so many people had killed and injured. Naturally, the river water would not be clean. The reason your wound has not healed has something to do with the Linjiang River. ”
Jin Wang’s pupils constricted as a hint of fear flashed across his eyes, “You’re talking about …. An epidemic disease?”
“That’s right. It’s relatively easy to get an epidemic after a disaster. Your Royal Highness should be aware of that. But now, the epidemic disease has been suppressed, and the riverside water has been cleaned up. Therefore, your wound souldn’t too serious. Otherwise …”
“Yunyao, don’t you have the cure for the plague in your hands? You should be able to ensure that I am safe and sound, right?” Jin Wang’s eyes were focused on Mu Yunyao, and his tone carried an undetectable coldness.
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her, who still had a beautiful and gentle appearance, even though his face was pale. The past flashed in her heart. After she was taken back to the mansion by Jin Wang, she had a peaceful and beautiful time. Jin Wang’s acting was perfect, and even he immersed himself in it. It’s a pity that he has no heart, only power in his eyes, so no matter how carefully she tries to curry favor with him, she still can’t escape the fate calculated by him.
Jin Wang looked at Mu Yunyao’s eyes, and suddenly his heart trembled. Her eyes were always clear, making others happy upon seeing them. However, her clear eyes were filled with waves just a moment ago. It was like a violent wind had suddenly stirred up a calm lake, causing the lake, silt, and gravel suddenly form into a flood, giving him a feeling of cold and suffocation - it was hatred, a hatred so powerful that it seemed to reach the heavens.
Mu Yunyao suddenly retracted her gaze, and her pair of eyes expression returned to their previous clear and transparent appearance, “Third Imperial Uncle, I’ve already given the plague medicine to someone else. I’ll head back to prepare some for you now, then get someone to send it over. Don’t use force and water on your arms these days. Don’t get angry, and keep your state of mind peaceful. You should be fine in a few days.”
“Alright.” Jin Wang looked at Mu Yunyao, his heart thumping wildly.
When Mu Yunyao left, Jin Wang took a deep breath and realized his back was sweating profusely. Jin Wang frowned tightly and kept thinking about the past in his mind. Although he had secretly supported the Su family, his actions had been very secretive. After the Su family had been defeated, he had never done anything again. Thus, why did Mu Yunyao hate him so much?
Yue Wang accompanied Mu Yunyao to sit in the pavilion. “Yao’er, you did that on purpose?”
Mu Yunyao lifted her hand to brush her hair back from being blown by the wind. “What did Fourth Master say? Why don’t I understand?”
Yue Wang tapped her on the forehead lightly: “You purposely let Jin Wang know of your hatred towards him, and with his narrow-mindedness, he wouldn’t dare to take the pill you gave him, right?”
“Fourth Master, where your mind is going? Am I that bad?” Mu Yunyao slightly tilted her head with an innocent look on her face.
Yue Wang couldn’t help but want to stretch out his hand again, but when he saw a little red mark above her eyebrows, he couldn’t help but touch it lightly, and a look of distress flashed in his eyes: Yao’er was like tofu, even when he tried to lighten his strength, it was still hard to touch.
Mu Yunyao, however, didn’t mind. She raised her hand and pulled his hand down, gently rubbing the calluses on his palm. “Fourth Master, with Lord Qi supervising the river workers, shouldn’t we return to the Capital soon?”
“If the weather is good and doesn’t rain these days, then we will leave town and return to the Capital.”
“What about Ling Wang and Jin Wang?”
“They have come under the Imperial Father’s orders to assist Second Imperial Brother in managing the riverside water channel near Linjiang River and Yi River. They will probably have to stay and wait for the riverbank to be built.”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes lit up as she placed her hand on Yue Wang’s palm. Seeing that his slender fingers could completely wrap around her palm in it, she smiled in an overjoy tone: “Fourth Master, is there any news from the Capital?”
“Not yet, but it should be soon.”
“Right.”
