All the strange feelings I had during these days now have answers.

After getting married, Mu Rong no longer escaped as before.

He spent far more time alone in his study than with her.

His unusual body temperature, the backlash after he injected his inner strength into her...

Also, Mu Yi once expressed his concern for his health.

Xu Rongrong suddenly realized what was happening. She stared at Shu Qing and asked, "Mu Yi and the others didn't know about his poisoning?"

Shu Qing nodded: "The situation in the court seems calm now, but in fact, there are constant undercurrents under the surface. He is afraid that the poison cannot be cured. If he dies suddenly in a critical situation, it will arouse resentment and suspicion from others. Therefore, except for me and Chu He, no one knows his physical condition."

He sighed helplessly, "He said that the world is extremely unfair to women, and a phrase like 'beauty is a disaster' can push the county lady into an irretrievable situation. In addition, the county lady has no mother's family to rely on, and if people knew the truth, they would definitely suffer all kinds of torture... He wanted me to keep this secret, and because of this, he was unwilling to seek medical treatment every time the disease relapsed. He could only rely on his internal strength to endure it, and when he got through it, he would secretly come to find me."

"It's just that his internal strength is damaged now, and his condition keeps relapsing... I don't have confidence that I can help him hold on for much longer."

"Internal strength damaged?" Xu Rongrong's hands clenched involuntarily, and her nails carved deep dents in her palms.

"That's right." Shu Qing nodded. "This cold ice poison is very evil. When the poison was on the county lady before, he would use his internal force to relieve it every time it attacked. At that time, he found that this cold poison would absorb his internal force. Now, the poison has transferred to his body, so it is naturally absorbing his internal force all the time. Fortunately, his internal force is deep, and with the help of medicine, he can control it a little, so that people won't see the problem at a glance."

"It's just that the county lord had a nightmare the day before yesterday, and his internal energy was depleted too much, which led to such a huge backlash."

Recalling the day when he fainted in front of her, Xu Rongrong bit her lip and the corners of her eyes turned red unnaturally.

Shu Qing, who had seen all kinds of life, naturally understood the girl's distressed expression.

He looked at Xu Rongrong and said, "I have been watching from the sidelines for nearly a year. I don't know what kind of knot there is between the county lady and the marquis. Because of the favor between the county lady and me, I have never said much... But everything that the marquis has been through these days makes me feel that he is indeed a person worth entrusting."

Xu Rongrong did not respond.

Shu Qing said no more.

After a long silence, Xu Rongrong looked up at the next door: "How are those people brought from Southern Xinjiang now?"

"There are five left."

In other words... half of the people have died from poisoning.

The time they were poisoned was more than a month shorter than Mu Rong...

Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong's body shook.

Seeing this, Shu Qing hurriedly said, "Don't worry too much, County Lady. After all, the poison in the Marquis was introduced from you, and your condition had improved significantly. Therefore, when the cold poison attacks the Marquis, it won't be as overbearing as it is for people like them. I will definitely try my best to detoxify the Marquis."

His words did not ease Xu Rongrong's expression, and the pain in her heart became more and more obvious.

She nodded somewhat lostly: "Thank you Mr. Lao Shu."

After saying that, he moved his feet and walked towards the exit.

Seeing his wife like this, Mu Ai panicked: "Madam...is your headache relieved?"

Xu Rongrong no longer had the strength to speak. She waved her hand and said, "Go back home."

In the carriage, she leaned against the wall with her eyes closed.

It seemed as if all the strength in my body had been drained away.

All the things that happened with Mu Rong in the past two lifetimes kept replaying in her mind.

His indifference, plunder, intimacy, and dominance towards me...

Face danger with her and help her time and time again when she needs it most...

All of these things culminated in his fragile appearance when he fainted.

Murong!

Why are you doing this?

When he spread his hand, the palm was covered in blood.
