~ I WANT TO PROTECT HER EVEN MORE ~

In the side room, Grand Princess Yi De waved the doctor back and let him retreat. She looked at Yue Wang, who sat on the chair. Her voice was quite serious when she speaks:

"You are very brave. The fire is burning to such a degree, and you dare to rush into the fire to save people. If you are a little late, you can't escape from the fire even if you have the ability to reach the sky.”

Yue Wang said apologetically, “I’ve made Imperial Aunt worry. Am I not fine now?”

“You still dare to say? When I hear the report, I feel a lingering fear.” The Grand Princess stared at him with her phoenix-like eyes, and her tone was more worried than reproachful.

“Yunyao’s mother is trapped in the fire, and no matter what, I can’t stand idly by.”

Grand Princess Yi De looked at him for a while and couldn’t help but sigh. “With your personality, who did you followed? For that Mu Yunyao, did you not even care about your own life?”

Hearing this, Yue Wang became anxious, “Imperial Aunt, don’t get angry with Yunyao because of this matter. I was the one who volunteered to save her, and after I marry Yunyao in the future, Madam Su will be my mother-in-law. If I have the ability to save her, I will definitely do my best.”

The Grand Princess Yi De looked at him. “Am I the kind of person who would release her anger at will? I just want you to pay attention to the fact that the Capital is different from Western Guangdong. The situation here is changeable and unpredictable. Any kind of danger could happen here. Since you have taken a fancy to Mu Yunyao, you can’t just blindly protect her. Let her face what she should face it. Otherwise, the two of you won’t be able to do it in the long run.”

From this incident, it could be seen that Jun Yue already had deep roots of affection in his heart with Mu Yunyao. If someone were to pinch Mu Yunyao, then there might be more troubles in the future …

There was a trace of a warm smile on the edge of Yue Wang’s lips, “Many thanks for Imperial Aunt’s reminder. Yunyao is very powerful. It’s just that this time, it happened too suddenly, so she wasn’t prepared for it.”

“Coming to the Capital and entering this deep pool of water, you have to lift your heart up to your throat constantly. If you neglect it slightly, the consequences would be unimaginable. This time, she has you to save her. But the next time or later, don’t tell me that you can always appear in such a timely manner every time?! If Mu Yunyao does not have a way to face these dangers herself, it would not be appropriate for her to stand by your side.”

Yue Wang shook his head, and there was no looseness in his expression: “I understand what you mean, Imperial Aunt. But I care about Yunyao only because she is her, not because she is suitable or not and whether it is good for me to use in the future. If possible, I wish I could protect her and let her be safe.”

The expression on Grand Princess Yi De’s face stiffened, and after seeing Yue Wang’s resolute expression, the worry in her heart grew even more intense. “You …. I only hope that your deep love will not let you down....”

Qu Mama walked in. “Reporting to Her Royal Highness Grand Princess, Miss Mu Yunyao has come to request an audience with Her Highness. She wants to see His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and she’s now standing at the door.”

Yue Wang’s eyes lit up, his body grew even straighter, and the color of his entire body seemed to be much brighter than before.

Seeing him in such a state, Grand Princess Yi De sighed, “Since she has come to visit you, I will not disturb you here. Take a good rest, and don’t drag the wound into it. In a few days, it will be the Autumn Hunt. After you recuperate, you will go to the paddock to hunt some good furs for me. I plan to stay in the Capital for the new year. I will make some cloaks from it and wear them when that time comes.”

Yue Wang stood up and bowed, “Imperial Aunt, Yunyao’s craftsmanship skills are excellent. No matter what clothes she makes, if you wears it on your body, it would be like looking at the angels.”

Grand Princess Yi De glanced at him. “We’ll talk about it when the time comes.” With that, she held on to Qu Mama’s hand and walked out.

Mu Yunyao waited at the door for the time it took to brew a cup of tea before she saw Yu Heng walked out.

“Greetings to Miss Mu. Master has just awoken and is extremely happy to hear that you have come. Please follow me.”

“Thank you.”

Yu Heng brought Mu Yunyao to the door, and after pushing it open, he stopped in his tracks. “Miss, please come in.”

Mu Yunyao’s footsteps paused for a moment before she took the food box from the Si Shu’s hand, who had followed behind her. She said, “Wait for me at the door, and there’s no need to follow me in.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Mu Yunyao walked into the room and saw Yue Wang, who rested on the bed with his eyes closed and her breathing slightly slowed down.

He tilted his head and leaned on his side as if he was in an uncomfortable situation. There was a crease between his eyebrows, and the black clothes made his complexion look even paler. The brocade quilt covered his legs, and his long arms rested on the brocade quilt. His fingers were long, and his bones were distinct...

“Yunyao, you’re here?” Hearing her footsteps, Yue Wang opened his eyes. A faint light flashed through his eyes as if it was the first light of dawn. The brilliance was particularly gorgeous.

Mu Yunyao didn’t know how to face him. Although the two had worked together before, she was still quite cautious towards Yue Wang in private. After all, in her previous life, she had died in the residence of Yue Wang. Even though she now realized that her previous life was completely different, she could not let go of this grudge.

After spending so much time with her, Yue Wang had gradually occupied different positions in her heart. Sometimes, it would even affect her judgment and making it even harder for her to accept this feeling of losing control.

She hoped that she could do her best to keep everything under control. This way, she could protect her mother and fight against the Su family can go on smoothly. However, she can’t figure out and control such a big variable as Yue Wang.

Seeing Mu Yunyao looking at him without saying a word, Yue Wanf slightly blinked his eyes, “What’s wrong? Are you still afraid because of last night’s fire?”

Mu Yunyao regained her senses. “Thank you for your help yesterday, His Royal Highness. Otherwise, my mother would have....”

Yue Wang said with a smile: “Back then, during the new year in Jingling City, Madam Su had taken care of me in every possible way . Now that she’s in danger, I tried my best to save her from dangerously.”

“How is His Royal Highness’s injury?” Being gently looked at by Yue Yang, Mu Yunyao was a little nervous, and her hands were slightly dripping with sweat.

Yue Wang lowered his eyes slightly, and his face seemed even paler: “Nothing, it just some superficial wounds. After resting for two days, everything will be fine. It’s just that there is a lack of medicine on the mountain, and it’s rather inconvenient.”

Mu Yunyao hesitated for a moment before walking towards Yue Wang. “If Fourth Master doesn’t mind, how about you let me take a look at you?”

Hearing that Mu Yunyao suddenly changed the name he was addressed, Yue Wang’s heart shook, but he still felt helpless. Previously, he had wanted Mu Yunyao to address him as Fourth Master. But Mu Yunyao had said that there was only His Royal Highness Yue Wang in the Capital. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

But now that Mu Yunyao had suddenly changed her words, he felt the same discomfort in his heart. He wanted to get close to Mu Yunyao, but he did not want to get close to her because he had saved Su Qing’s life.

Yue Wang turned slightly to the side: “It was injured on my back. When I escaped, a piece of wood fell and hit me just in time.”

Mu Yunyao slightly bit the tip of her tongue. She stepped forward to pinch Yue Wang’s collar and gently took off his clothes. “Fourth Master, I apologize for my offense.”

The clothes went down, and the smell of blood became more intense. On Yue Wang’s back, there was a thick and severe burn wound. The wound emitted a unique smell from the burn wound, and the edges of the wound were black and purple. There were tiny blisters on the wound, making it look it was covered in blood and flesh. Mu Yunyao’s fingertip lightly trembled. Her heart seemed it had been pierced by a needle, causing her to feel slight pain. It was so serious...
