King Yue took a deep look at Mu Yunyao, and there seemed to be thousands of emotions flashing in his eyes, but he searched carefully, but there seemed to be no waves, and he turned around and strode away.
Mu Yunyao closed the window, put the dagger on the table back into the scabbard, put her face under the pillow calmly, took off her coat and lay back on the bed.
Two quarters later, she opened her sleepless eyes, put on her shoes and put on a cloak, opened the door and walked outside, holding out the ice lantern that had fallen in the snow.
The snow had been thick these two days. Although the ice lantern was fragile, it was not damaged in the slightest when it fell on the snow. She brushed off the snow, placed the ice lantern on the window, and found a small candle to light it.
Under the light of the candle, this ice lantern became more and more crystal clear and dazzling, without any flaws.
Because she was afraid that the ice lantern would be melted by the warmth in the room, Mu Yunyao deliberately opened half of the windows. At this time, she sat by the window and looked at the ice lantern carefully, involuntarily stunned.
The cold wind poured in from the window, making her whole body cold and making her thoughts clearer.
At the moment when King Yue took out the ice lantern just now, all the previous details flooded into her mind, and she immediately came to a conclusion: King Yue fell in love with her!
This conclusion shocked her so much that she almost lost her temper in front of King Yue, so she hurriedly drove him away.
She has never liked anyone, even if she entered the Jin Palace as a concubine in her previous life, it was only for the sake of better survival. In this life, she is full of hatred, and she has never thought about love between men and women, so the first moment she noticed King Yue's thoughts, she The idea is to push people away.
Not to mention the difference in identities between the two, her death in her previous life was implicated in King Yue, and until the matter was investigated, she couldn't get along with him without any grudges, let alone anything else.
Even if she thinks about it carefully now, King Yue must have been tricked by someone at that time, but she still can't completely let go!
In this life, she just wants to live in peace and care for her mother after taking revenge, and she doesn't want to be associated with any princes and nobles. With her mind settled, Mu Yunyao stretched out her hand and stroked the head of the ice sculpture cat, her fingertips felt cool, and the chill seemed to be able to erode into her heart along her arm, which made her eyes cold as well: "If you are tempted for a while, how can it be? It's been a long time, but it's just lost for a while, and I won't let go of King Yue
On the mind…”
Retracting her fingers, Mu Yunyao lay back on the bed, trying her best to suppress the mixed emotions in her heart, and fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long she slept, but she felt sore and hot all over her body, as if she was being roasted on a fire. It made her frown involuntarily.
"Yao'er, Yao'er, are you awake?" Su Qing, with a tired and sad face, heard Mu Yunyao's movement and quickly called her softly.
Mu Yunyao struggled to open her eyes, feeling a splitting headache: "Mother..." The moment she opened her mouth, she found that her throat was hoarse and the pain was severe, and she couldn't help frowning even tighter.
Su Qing hurriedly helped her up, and said anxiously and distressed: "You child, you don't know how to close the window when you sleep, if it wasn't for the mother who saw you late in the morning and came to call you, you're afraid you're going to get sick. more serious!"
Mu Yunyao was a little groggy: "What happened to me?"
"Doctor Zhang, please take a look. It's a cold, and the medicine has already been prescribed. Jin Lan goes down and boils it. You first get up and drink some porridge, then drink the medicine, and then lie on the bed and rest."
Mu Yunyao looked up at the window, the window was tightly closed, and there was no sign of the ice lamp: "Mother, that window..."
"Did you open it yourself for the coolness?" Su Qing looked at her and helped her pull the quilt helplessly, "You can't do this in the future, even if you feel the room is stuffy, open it for a while, then quickly close it, but Can't sleep with it on all the time."
Mu Yunyao nodded: "I see, mother."
Seeing her blinking misty eyes, her cheeks were slightly flushed due to the heat, Su Qing couldn't bear to say to her again: "Sleep a little longer, mother, go down and see if the porridge is ready?"
Mu Yunyao lay down obediently, and fell asleep in a daze.
She doesn't get sick easily, but once she gets sick, it's extremely difficult to get better. She is always intermittently good and bad. No matter how much medicine she takes, it is useless. She can only wait for the sickness to pass by herself. Who would have thought that he had been fine for more than a year, but fell ill at the beginning of the new year.
When they woke up again, Jin Lan and Jin Qiao were standing beside them with things.
"Miss, it's all my fault for the slaves. I played too late last night and didn't come to watch the night for Miss."
After waking up from sleep, Mu Yunyao was somewhat refreshed: "No wonder you guys, I said earlier that I don't like being kept outside at night. By the way, when you came over in the morning, you could see something by the window. ?"
The two shook their heads: "I didn't see anything, did the lady lose something?"
"Last night, on a whim, I made a little snowman and put it by the window. I think it's melting."
"That's very likely. When the servants came over in the morning, they saw water stains by the window." Mu Yunyao didn't speak any more, rested for a while after eating the porridge, drank another bowl of soup, and then lay down and continued to rest. . Every time she fell ill, she was extremely lethargic, and this time she slept until it was dark before she woke up. She was covered with a thick quilt, which made her sweaty, and then she felt
uncomfortable outside.
"Jin Lan?"
With a cry, no one responded from outside the room, Mu Yunyao frowned slightly, and opened the quilt to get out of bed.
"Don't you know if you're sick? Dare to come down at this time?" There was a hint of concern in the cold voice, making Mu Yunyao stunned in place.
"Fourth Master, why are you here, what about Jin Lan and the others?"
"Why are you sick?" King Yue did not answer Mu Yunyao's words, but looked at her slightly haggard appearance, and the discomfort in his heart deepened.
However, Mu Yunyao smiled, her tone indifferent: "How can people not get sick when they eat whole grains? It's just that I'm especially unlucky. I fell ill during the Chinese New Year."
King Yue looked at her with an inexplicable look in his eyes: "Where's the ice lantern I gave you last night?"
Mu Yunyao's smile did not change: "Didn't the fourth master throw it away himself, why did you come to ask me? If you really want to go to the bottom of the steps to look for it, maybe you can still find it."
"You take a good rest first, and after you recover from your illness, think about other things."
"Thank you Fourth Master for your concern."
King Yue nodded and turned to leave.
Not long after he left, Jin Lan came in with the medicine bowl: "Miss, you are awake, the servant just went down to carry the medicine, and Jin Qiao was called by the wife to the front yard to do something, so she didn't stay in front of you. "
"It's okay, I'm sweating all over, it's really uncomfortable, you help me prepare some hot water, I want to scrub a little."
"How about that? Miss, you have a cold, so you can't get cold anymore!" Jin Lan hurriedly shook her head.
"Don't worry, I know medical skills. Prepare the water to be warmer, so you won't catch a cold." "That's not going to work!" Su Qing walked in and deliberately lowered his face, "Mother can't watch it for a while, so you just mess around. How can anyone who has a cold is still making a fuss about taking a shower?"
