Mu Qianyin started the operation after dinner, two days earlier than expected.

At that time, Prince Ning Wu Tianxiao was discussing with his staff how to avoid the midwife who was arranged again in the emperor's palace.

As a result... Although Mu Qianyin's premature action caught him off guard, the people in the palace had no time to react. If the emperor forced people in at this time, it would be difficult for him to get in touch with the woman in labor at the first time.

During this period, Mu Lu had been following orders in Prince Ning's Mansion. He had the best lightness skills among the Mu family's soldiers and could pass messages under the noses of the secret guards without anyone noticing.

When he arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, Mu Rong was inspecting the guards in the capital.

So Mu Lu went directly to Xinghui Hall and informed Xu Rongrong of the news.

It was a little sudden, but not unexpected: "How is Princess Ning now?"

"To answer Madam, when I left the palace, I saw the princess walking around the courtyard with the help of the midwife. They looked fine."

Xu Rongrong nodded: "That's good."

During this period, Mu Qianyin had been lying in bed pretending that the fetus was in an abnormal position, but in fact, she was accompanied by Prince Ning and walked around in the yard for half an hour every morning, noon and evening. The midwife said that the princess had a good foundation and more exercise would help with delivery.

Xu Rongrong could not see Princess Ning, and all this news was relayed to her by Mu Rong. Now that she heard Mu Lu report that the princess was fine, she finally felt relieved.

So, she ordered Mu Ai to go to the camp guard to inform Mu Rong, while she went to the inner room to take out two almost identical sachets and gave them to Mu Lu.

"This sachet with a small plum blossom embroidered on it, ask the midwife to place it in the princess's delivery room. I used ginseng and Sanguisorba officinalis to help with delivery and stop bleeding. This other one has a small star embroidered on it, find a chance to place it in Wei Shi's room. Ginseng and safflower are used here, and although the scent is almost masked by ginseng, the effects of the two are completely opposite."

"Madam, are you trying to frame Wei Shi?"

Xu Rongrong glanced at Mu Lu and said, "I am clearly framing you!"

"...Oh." Mu Lu took it with both hands and carefully looked at the difference between the two.

The plum blossoms and stars are very small, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell them apart. "I will go back to Prince Ning's Mansion now."

……

When Mu Rong returned home, the meal had already been served in the main hall. Xu Rongrong was flipping through a book while waiting for him.

He was originally a little anxious because of Prince Ning's affairs, but when he saw this scene, he felt only warmth in his heart.

He glanced at the old and broken ancient book in Xu Rongrong's hand and said with a smile, "Rongrong, why don't you look at the account book recently? My food, clothing and daily expenses all depend on Madam."

When Xu Rongrong saw him coming back, she put down the book and said, "Isn't this table of food enough to feed the prince?"

Mu Rong bent down, looked at her, glanced at her rosy lips, and said jokingly, "It's true that I can't satisfy you."

Xu Rongrong blushed as if she was thinking of something. She turned her head away as if to hide her feelings and said, "Then I'll ask the kitchen to bring some more dishes."

Just as she was about to stand up, Mu Rong grabbed her wrist.

The latter's eyes were full of warmth: "I won't tease you anymore, let's eat quickly."

After saying that, he let go of her hand.

Although Xu Rongrong felt a little uncomfortable, she did not move after all.

Wen Yao came to serve the meal and she served Mu Rong a bowl of soup.

Mu Rong took a sip and said, "Is this... ginseng soup?"

"Not only ginseng, but also astragalus, wolfberry... The soup base is beef tendon that Madam Xiao ordered the kitchen to simmer for a day. You... I'm afraid you'll have to stay up late again tonight, so some medicinal soup can help relieve your fatigue."

Mu Rong laughed and said, "The news of the princess's move only came out in the evening, but the soup base in the kitchen has been simmering for a whole day... Rongrong is really good at predicting things."

Xu Rongrong's face turned red again.

This was arranged by her early in the morning. Mu Rong had been busy all day during this period and had no time to take care of the cold poison in his body. So she flipped through medical books and researched this medicinal soup that can refresh the mind and strengthen the body.

But she didn't want Mu Rong to know her thoughts, so she found an excuse to stay up late, but he exposed her thoughts with just one sentence.

Seeing the shyness on the girl's face, Mu Rong stopped teasing her. After taking another sip, he slowly said, "Thank you, ma'am."

The word "madam" conveys a lingering and affectionate feeling.

Things always happened a little suddenly, and Mu Rong did stay up all night in the study.

Tonight, almost all the spies planted by the emperor in the palace were mobilized. If he went there, he would easily be discovered. Therefore, all matters in the palace had to be coordinated by Prince Ning and Mu Lu. Fortunately, they had deduced it several times before, so it seemed that nothing serious would happen.

But if there are some unexpected events that are beyond his control, he will need to solve them in time.

Xu Rongrong did not disturb him, but asked someone to deliver a pot of hot tea to the outside of the study at regular intervals.

Listening to the occasional noises coming from outside the study, Mu Rong's lips curled up slightly.

Mu Ai just came to report that Jianghan Street was unusually busy today. Two drunks accidentally discovered the emperor's secret guards and thought they were thieves, so they started shouting... When the guards came over, the secret guard had to evacuate secretly.

After hearing the news, Mu Rong couldn't help but laugh: This must be Xu Rongrong's work. The people under Luo Chen helped him and King Ning a lot tonight.

How could Mu Rong deserve to have the most beautiful woman in the world as his wife?

Even after being severely hurt by him, she is still so soft-hearted and will mobilize all her strength to help him.

Xu Rongrong naturally had no idea of ​​Mu Rong's complicated thoughts at the moment. She just leaned against the window and flipped through the ancient book in her hand.

This is the medical book left by Mu Rong's mother, Princess Rongyang.

Last year, when sending New Year gifts, Mu Rong gave her all the medical books that the princess had kept, including various ancient books that she loved in her previous life. Therefore, when she married Mu Rong, she brought these books back as a dowry.

These days, apart from secretly helping Mu Rong, she spent all her time reading these medical books.

She wanted to find a way to completely eradicate the poison of the ice-sealed acupoints.

In the past two days, another person suffering from severe cold poison died in Shu Qing's clinic.

There were only four people left, and with every person missing, Mu Rong’s hope diminished.

He is still able to hold on now thanks to his inner strength and will. If he waits until His Majesty fails, Prince Ning is successfully crowned, or he directly ascends the throne like the Fourth Prince in his previous life... I am afraid that once his will is shaken, the cold poison will instantly break out.

By then, I don’t know how dangerous it will be.

Turning the pages one by one, she carefully looked for any clues that might lead to the detoxification.

Unfortunately, there are none...

A deep sense of frustration welled up in her heart, and she couldn't tell what it felt like.

It was not until the sunlight shone through the thin window paper onto the pages of her book that she realized that she had spent the night without sleep.

She stood up, feeling a little dizzy from the intense tiredness.

Her body swayed and she almost fell, but the next moment, her slender waist was tightly hugged.
