Mu Yi had already walked far away, but Xu Rongrong was still stunned.

Mu Rong... is not feeling well?

How come she never noticed?

She always felt that there were some things she had neglected these days.

Wen Yao stood aside and looked at her young lady's concentrated expression. How could she not understand that the young lady was worried about the Marquis?

Although the young lady has always been tough on the Marquis, her thoughts couldn't be simpler...

She is my own lady after all! Wen Yao couldn't bear to see her upset, so he went to the next door and brought a cup of soothing soup: "It's getting late. Miss, please rest first. Even if you have something to do, wait until dawn to think about it."

"Yes." Xu Rongrong subconsciously raised her hand to take it, and her eyes looked further and further into the distance.

Looking out from the bedroom of Xinghui Hall, everything is dark and it seems like nothing can be seen.

Xu Rongrong sighed and told Wen Yao: "You should go to bed early. There are still many things to do tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, Xu Rongrong had just woken up. Before he could call Wen Yao to ask questions, he heard greetings coming from outside the door.

"Master Hou is back?" This was Wen Yao's voice.

"Well, I came back last night and stayed in the study for fear of waking you up. Madam, is she awake?" Mu Rong's voice was hoarse.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Rongrong opening the curtain and standing in front of the door.

Perhaps it was because he came out after hearing the voice. Xu Rongrong was only wearing a coat, and her hair had not been tied up yet. Her long hair was draped behind her head, looking particularly obedient.

Such an appearance was something Mu Rong had never seen before in this life, and he was a little stunned for a moment.

The two looked at each other blankly, but Wen Yao was the first to react: "There is still warm Tremella soup on the stove. I will bring it to you right now."

After speaking, she left in a hurry.

In the Xinghui Hall, only Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong were left.

Looking at the dark green eyes of Mu Rong, Xu Rongrong asked: "Did the Marquis... visit the palace at night?"

Mu Rong was slightly startled when he heard this. He looked at himself up and down, but found no flaw: "How does Rong Rong know?"

Xu Rongrong glanced at the upper of Mu Rong's clothes: "The queen likes chrysanthemums the most, but it is not the day when chrysanthemums are in full bloom right now. Therefore, only the queen's palace in the entire capital has the famous chrysanthemum 'Yao Tai Yufeng' carefully cultivated by her majesty." , and the most eye-catching thing about this flower is the fragrance exuding from its golden stamens.”

Mu Rong followed his gaze and looked down. The golden touch on his shoes was the pollen of Yaotai Yufeng.

He said with a warm smile: "Fortunately, Rong Rong saw it. Wouldn't it be a big deal if others saw it?"

Just as he was talking, Wen Yao came back with Luo Shu and Zhu Yu, holding breakfast.

And Mu Rong took advantage of the situation and went into the house to eat together.

Xu Rongrong was sitting in the room, letting Wen Yao dress herself up, while looking at Mu Rong who was eating in the hall through the bead curtain.

Perhaps he was too hungry after a busy night, so the way he ate at this time was not very polite.

Wen Yao saw her in a daze and said casually: "During this period, the Marquis is busy with the defense of Beijing. I heard from Vice General Ai that the Marquis cannot eat on time almost every meal. Most of the time, meals are usually finished in a few bites as quickly as now..."

Hearing this, Xu Rongrong raised his head and glanced at the girl beside him: "You, you don't have to say good things for him."

Wen Yao smiled and said: "This slave just said a few ordinary words. It's just that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is interested."

"loquacious!"

As Xu Rongrong said this, she got up and walked out.

"Today is not a big court meeting. The Marquis is so greedy that he is not afraid of being laughed at."

When Mu Rong heard this, the spoon in his hand paused slightly.

When he raised his head, his eyes were bright: "Okay, I'll slow down."

As the saying goes, people eat without talking and sleep without talking, but Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong had a meal together, which was a bit awkward. Therefore, although the two of them had a meal together, it was quiet and silent.

When the breakfast was finished, Wen Yao and others took away the leftovers.

Xu Rongrong just said: "Why did the Marquis risk a night visit to the Queen's Palace last night? That is the place with the tightest security."

"Yesterday Chuhe searched the entire palace and found nothing. It is really difficult for him to be alone in the Queen's Palace. The two of us can work together without alerting the palace guards."

"Did the Marquis gain anything? Is Miss Vai hiding in the Queen's Palace?"

Mu Rong shook his head: "We didn't see Vai."

Xu Rongrong's slightly expectant eyes instantly lost their luster. Upon seeing this, Mu Rong hurriedly added: "But the Queen's palace is indeed weird."

"Oh? What's weird?" Xu Rongrong became energetic again.

"Because of Your Majesty's consideration, the Queen's palace is equipped with a separate kitchen and tea room. However, it was very late last night, and the tea room was still warm with tonics. After I checked, I found that the tea stove and medicine jar had never been extinguished. , it seems that the tonic lasts twelve hours a day.”

Xu Rongrong frowned slightly when he heard this: "I haven't heard that the Queen is ill these days, so why should I keep taking tonics? Unless..."

When Mu Rong saw this, he knew that Xu Rongrong must have the answer in his heart: "What did Rongrong think of?"

"If Miss Vai is really regarded as a 'medicine person', in order to provide her with a steady stream of medicinal effects, I'm afraid she needs to be constantly supplied with tonics to kill her..." As she spoke, Xu Rongrong's face turned pale, " It’s just that this method is too cruel and insidious.”

She shuddered when she thought that the bright and lovely girl in Vai was being imprisoned in a dark place, constantly supplying blood to sinister people.

Mu Rong reached out and held the back of Xu Rongrong's trembling hand.

"Don't be afraid, Rong Rong, I will definitely rescue Vai."

Xu Rongrong raised her head. This was the first time she showed such a fragile look in front of Mu Rong: "But...how to save him?"

That was the queen's palace, and Mu Rong and the others had not found any evidence. Even if they reported it to the emperor, there was nothing they could do as long as the queen refused to acknowledge it.

"Let the queen reveal her own flaws." Mu Rong looked at Xu Rongrong and said firmly, "Didn't you and I never understand where the queen got the medicine that was used to treat Lin Jiaoyue's injury earlier?"

Xu Rongrong looked at him doubtfully, but soon understood what Mu Rong meant: "The Marquis said... the medicine that the fourth prince asked the queen for was made with the blood of the medicine man?"

Mu Rong nodded.

"But the time didn't match up." According to time calculation, when Lin Jiaoyue regained her appearance, Vai had not yet entered Beijing.

Mu Rong smiled and said: "Rong Rongke still remembers that when the fourth prince asked the queen for medicine again, she said that the previous medicine had been used up, but she had another way to make medicine."

That time was the second day after Vai disappeared.

"It's time for the fourth prince to urge you."
