The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

The carriage swayed along the way.

The morning light was just breaking, and the rosy glow shone on Xu Rongrong's face, but it could not hide the tiredness in her eyes.

Although Mu Rong was a little unstable at the moment, he stood up and gave up his seat when he saw the tired look on the faces of the people around him. "You've been tired all night, take a rest first. I'll wake you up when we get to the Marquis' Mansion."

"It's only a short while, Lord, you don't have to accommodate me." Xu Rongrong raised her hand and rubbed her cheek, trying to dispel some of her fatigue. However, with so many things on her mind, how could she fall asleep peacefully?

She raised her hand and tapped the wall of the carriage: "Is Zhuyu outside?"

Zhu Yu was supposed to be there to serve, but because the Marquis was in the carriage, she could only sit on the carriage frame. When she heard the Madam calling her, she quickly replied, "Madam, I'm here."

"Come in and answer the call."

"Yes." The car door opened and Zhu Yu walked in.

Seeing this, Mu Rong shook his head helplessly.

He looked at Xu Rongrong and said gently, "You said it would only take a while, aren't you in a hurry?" After that, he glanced at Zhu Yu who seemed a little at a loss, "Forget it, since the Madam has called you, just report everything that happened in the palace."

"Yes." Zhu Yu nodded and looked at Xu Rongrong, "Madam, do you want to ask about Miss Wei?"

Xu Rongrong nodded slightly.

"After the banquet was halfway through, the Madam returned to Zhengyang Palace from the garden, and I stayed outside. At that time, the eunuch Xiao Wei was being questioned in the palace, and the servants outside were also talking about it. I took advantage of the situation and changed into the clothes of a palace maid and hid under the eaves to wait. When I saw Deputy Commander Chu leading the team to the Queen's Palace, I used my Qinggong skills to get there before them, pretending to be a message from the Queen, asking several senior palace maids to guard the secret room."

"The secret room was originally secret, and no one except the Queen's confidants knew about it. Therefore, the senior maids were somewhat skeptical of my story. However, Deputy Commander Chu soon arrived with his men, and some of them no longer doubted my identity... I pretended to help them resist the imperial guards, and took the opportunity to knock out the other two maids who were still suspicious of me. Then, I suggested that they go to the secret room to destroy the evidence, saying that the imperial guards were too powerful to resist."

"The situation was urgent at the time, and they had no time to distinguish, so they rushed into the secret room. I sneaked in and found that the person trapped inside was indeed Miss Wei, so I sent out a signal to lure Deputy Commander Chu here... and rescued Miss Wei."

"Did no one suspect anything during the process?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"To answer Madam's question, at that time, the imperial guards were fighting against the maids in the Queen's palace, and the situation was very chaotic... In addition, Deputy Commander Chu was well prepared, so no one suspected anything."

"What preparation?"

"Deputy Commander Chu... brought a female corpse... I took advantage of the situation and slashed the corpse's face to get away with it."

"Female corpse?" Xu Rongrong was slightly startled. She had originally seen the Imperial Guards bringing into Zhengyang Palace a female corpse with a blurred face. She had thought that Chu He had found a maid from the Queen's Palace to do the job. Unexpectedly, she had brought it in from outside the palace. This also solved a puzzle in her mind. "No wonder the female corpse smelled of blood and medicine... I didn't expect it to have been prepared long ago."

Zhu Yu replied: "I don't know the details."

"It doesn't matter, as long as the people are rescued."

"That's right. After replacing Miss Wei, I sprinkled her with the powder that Madam had prepared to cover up the smell of blood, and then handed her over to Master Mu Qi to take her out of the palace."

"Mu Qi?" Xu Rongrong glanced at Mu Rong.

The latter touched his nose and said, "He is indeed my man. He is placed in the imperial guards under the pseudonym Xiao Qi, waiting for an opportunity to help Chu He with his work."

A trace of doubt flashed through Xu Rongrong's mind, but before she could think about it, the carriage stopped.

"My Lord, Madam, we are here."

……

As Mu Rong supported Xu Rongrong and walked into Xinghui Hall, they saw Wali, who was sitting under the eaves with a stubble on his face, suddenly stand up and hurriedly come forward.

There was a layer of mist on his hair, showing that he had been sitting there all night.

"Did everything go well last night?" Vali said anxiously, "Vaita..."

Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes: How did he know?

But since Wai had been successfully rescued, there seemed no need to hide anything now. So Xu Rongrong nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Wai has been rescued... But something big happened in the palace, so she was placed outside to conceal her whereabouts."

"That's good! That's good!" Wally's lips trembled with excitement. "Is she... okay?"

"Miss Wai is fine, but she is a little exhausted. We have arranged for a doctor to take care of her. Please rest assured, Lord Wali." When she got off the car just now, she asked Zhu Yu to find Shu Qing. With his help, Wai should be fine.

"That's good... That's good..." Wally murmured repeatedly, and the anxiety and uneasiness of the past few days were slightly relieved at this moment.

When he came to his senses, he found Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong still standing in front of him, so he quickly imitated the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty and bowed deeply: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lady, for saving my life and helping my Wa family. Wai will never forget it!"

Mu Rong asked in a deep voice: "How did Lord Vali know that we would rescue people last night?"

When Wali heard this, he looked up at Mu Rong's expression, panicked, and quickly replied: "Don't worry, Lord! Although I am anxious, I also know the importance of the matter... Lord and Madam took such a big risk to save Wai for me. You are so dedicated, how could I harm you two? I have been staying in the wing these days, not daring to step out of Xinghui Hall. But seeing that you have been very busy these days, I thought that if it was just to prepare for the Qixi Festival banquet, it would not be so... I think there are important things to do, and you did not come back all night last night. If it is not to rescue Wai, I can't think of any other reason."

Mu Rong listened to him without comment, then nodded: "The situation was not yet determined, and I was afraid that informing you in advance would increase your worries, so I kept it a secret. I hope Lord Wali will not be offended."

How could Vali dare to say that he was surprised at this moment? He quickly explained that he had no other thoughts.

Xu Rongrong stood quietly by, listening to their conversation, feeling an indescribable weirdness in her heart.

Fortunately, Wally was a perceptive man. Seeing the tiredness on the two men’s faces, he took his leave without delaying for too long.

Mu Rong escorted Xu Rongrong into the room: "I'll ask Wen Yao to come in and help you rest. I have some official business to attend to in the study."

After saying that, he was leaving.

But before he left the room, he heard Xu Rongrong whispering behind him:

"My Lord, you are usually decisive in your actions and don't bother to explain things to others. Why are you explaining to Vali so patiently today?"

"Where did the Marquis get the female corpse that Chu He brought into the palace? Wai is a 'medicine man', and his physique is very different from that of ordinary people. The doctor can tell the truth from the false with just one examination. But even the imperial physician could not find any abnormality in the female corpse. The Marquis's methods are really unexpected."
