"The blanket for Princess Yu should not be too heavy as well. She's losing too much blood and her body is very weak. It's not a good thing to sweat too much …

"

The maids carefully memorized Mu Yunyao's instructions before respectfully bowing and leaving.

Mu Yunyao went to check on him for six taels of silver. The empress was helping him change the medicine on his fingers, and the gauze he removed was already completely soaked in blood. It was a sight that would make one's heart clench.

"Mistress …

" Seeing Mu Yunyao walk in, a trace of gentleness appeared in her eyes.

Poison Matriarch turned around,

"Good, Yunyao, you've come. Help me change the medicine, I'll go and see how the soup is faring.

" After she finished speaking, Mu Yunyao immediately stood up and left, unable to react.

Mu Yunyao's footsteps paused slightly, then she naturally walked forward and gently and quickly changed the medicine and bandaged her fingers.

"Mistress, please allow Yu Yi to come.

" Feeling Mu Yunyao's touch, his heart trembled with an indescribable helplessness. His fingers were so unsightly, Miss must have felt uncomfortable seeing them …

"Your finger is seriously injured. Yu Yi is very clumsy. If he came to help you apply the medicine, I'm afraid your injuries will worsen.

" Mu Yunyao wrapped up the gauze and carefully fixed it,

"Six liang, your arm and leg are fractured. Did you do it yourself?

"

She nodded,

"Yes, I can't disgrace Master.

" Mu Yunyao's eyes trembled as a strong sense of guilt arose in her heart.

"It's all thanks to you this time. If you hadn't resisted the medicine's effects, I'm afraid the situation would have really been difficult to deal with …

" King Yu treated her the same way King Yue treated her. If anything happened to her, the final outcome would definitely be her …

At that time, the Wang and Li family would take advantage of the situation and cause a huge ruckus, which would probably affect the entire Dai Dynasty greatly.

A hint of warmth appeared in Liu Ming's eyes. He was not used to smiling, so he could only lift the corner of his lips and say,

"It's good that you didn't cause any trouble for Master.

"

Mu Yunyao didn't know how to face the two of them. She knew that they liked her, but in her heart, she held back Yue Yang. She had already become his wife and wasn't able to give him any response.

"Six liang, I …

"

"Master, there are some other things that I did not remember yesterday. If I recall carefully today, I realized that something was not right. I wanted to tell Master about it, but I might be able to find some clues.

"

Lowering his eyes, he didn't look at Mu Yunyao's eyes. After he was hit by the Joyous Union Powder, he unceasingly recalled every single detail of his interactions with Mu Yunyao. It was only because of these memories that he was able to persevere. After such a long period of time, he understood her character. When people treated her badly, she was merciless, but when others treated her well, she felt a heavy burden whenever she was unable to repay them. He had always clearly remembered his own identity, and knew that he was not worthy of this beautiful girl in front of him …

Son, if you can help her, then you'll be happy. I don't dare to ask for anything else.

Mu Yunyao suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart,

"What clues have you thought of?

"

"Princess Yu and I were brought to the secret chamber in the tunnel. When King Qinguang came, he completely ignored the attitude of the archers. It was so much that it looked ordinary. Your subordinate doesn't know how to describe it, but I feel that it's a bit strange.

"

Mu Yunyao moved her eyebrows and pondered for a moment. Then, a ray of light flashed in her eyes,

"Do you think that the Duke's attitude is too casual?

" Yes, it is no longer just a matter of random questions. It seems like they are not treated as outsiders.

" As a prince, even if he were to use the people of the Northern Frontier, he should have a reputation to protect. After all, no one knew if the Northern Frontier would bite back, but the King did not have any scruples.

Extremely disagreeable.

"Li family, Northern Frontier, Crossbow Soldiers...

" Mu Yunyao had some thoughts in her heart, but wasn't sure for a moment.

"Is there anything else?

"

"Also, the King initially wanted to get rid of Princess Yu's child, but later forced me to go over to violate her. It seems that there was someone else speaking up to do so.

"

"Are you saying that in the beginning, O King did not think of using you to split the relationship between King Yu's Estate and King Yue's Estate?

"

"It should be like this. When I was brought over, Wang was praising a person beside him. That person had his head lowered, I didn't see his face, but from his actions and salutations when he left, he should be from the Northern Frontier.

"

Mu Yunyao's eyes darkened,

"I understand, I'm afraid that the Duke has been treated like a blade this time.

"

"Mistress, do you have any leads?

"

"I had thought something was amiss earlier. Why is it that with such a big commotion, Prince Jin hasn't moved at all? It seems like he has already made his move in the dark. If I guessed correctly, Prince Jin would probably send a letter to marry the Northern Frontier Princess Helian Li Luo in the next few days.

"

"Mistress, do you mean that Prince Jin and the Northern Frontier have allied?

"

"That's right.

" Mu Yunyao stood up.

"Six taels of silver, rest well. If you recall any other details, you'll be able to tell the problem. If you think of anything else, tell Wei Jiu. I'll go wait for His Highness King Yu and see if there's any movements in the imperial court today.

"

"Yes.

"

He then looked up at Wei Jiu and asked,

"How is your martial arts?

"

"Didn't you already see it?

" That night, the inner sect experts sent by the Northern Frontier should be the top group. That was why he and Liu Yi were not a match for each other. However, he was able to escape in the end.

He was silent for a while, feeling the pain coming from his arms and legs. His face was getting paler and paler.

"My injuries are very serious. Even if I am to recover, my skills will be affected.

"

Wei Jiu turned to look at him and said,

"Don't worry, I've already applied for a special training for the Shadow Squad. After this training, my skills will advance a level and I can better protect my master.

"

"With the protection of the Shadow Squad, master should be safe.

" His voice was extremely low.

Wei Jiu frowned.

"What are you planning to do?

"

"I think I should do something better for my master.

" After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

"Don't mess around. Your current identity is not just worth six, you're also the prince of the north. If something happens to you, those people from the north will use this as an excuse to make things difficult for Master.

" The two of them remained silent. Wei Jiu frowned, secretly determined to have people pay more attention to him so that he wouldn't do something stupid.
