Mu Rong hadn't slept all night, and as soon as he entered the inner room he saw Xu Rongrong and almost fell down.

He was startled, rushed over in two steps, and hugged the girl tightly: "Rongrong, be careful."

"Thank you, my lord." Xu Rongrong stood firm and rubbed his forehead.

Mu Rong glanced at the medical book that was still in her hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end he said nothing.

"Is there any news from Sister Mu?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Mu Rong smiled slightly when he heard this: "Princess Ning gave birth to a son."

Calculating the time, it has only been six hours since the start of labor. I didn't expect Sister Mu's first delivery to be much smoother than that of an ordinary woman. However, giving birth to a child will cost a woman half her life... Xu Rongrong felt a little distressed:

"Sister Mu must be having a hard time. I don't know when I can see her again."

Mu Rong had known that she would say that. After all, Xu Rongrong had a rather aloof personality and only had three or four good friends in the capital, and Mu Qianyin was one of them.

So he smiled and said, "This is your majesty's first grandson, so the baptism ceremony will certainly be a grand one. Moreover, my third brother will go to the palace tomorrow to request the title of Crown Prince. At that time, the baptism ceremony and the title ceremony will be held together. As the wife of the Marquis, how can Rongrong not be present?"

Once you enter Prince Ning's Mansion, it will be much easier to see Mu Qianyin.

Xu Rongrong nodded, looking delighted.

She hasn't seen Sister Mu for several months. The situation in the capital is now turbulent. The superficial hypocrisy of the relationship between the Emperor and Prince Ning will be completely torn apart from the birth of this child.

——Your Majesty will take action soon.

Fortunately, King Ning had already made preparations.

Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong felt relieved and then yawned.

He went out and told Wen Yao to prepare a bathtub and hot water, and then asked Luo Shu to bring breakfast from the kitchen.

When Xu Rongrong heard him give such an order, she was a little confused, but since it was not a big deal, she just followed him.

After all, he had been up all night, so it would be nice to take a shower in the morning to relieve his fatigue.

Knowing that the master in the mansion was busy these days, Nanny Xiao asked the kitchen to prepare porridge and vegetables early in the morning. The food was light and appetizing, and made one feel warm inside after eating it.

After Xu Rongrong finished her breakfast, the bathroom in the inner room was ready.

When Wen Yao came over to invite her, Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong in confusion: "Isn't the Marquis bathing?"

Mu Rong smiled: "Rongrong has been tired all night. Now that the Ning Wangfei matter has been settled, you should also have a good rest."

"A few days ago, Shu Qing got a recipe for a medicinal bath. The scent is light and long-lasting, and it is very refreshing. Rongrong, it's a good opportunity for you to try it today." After saying that, he glanced at Wen Yao.

The latter understood and advised her young lady, "Young lady, go and give it a try. The Marquis has already told me to prepare it early in the morning."

Xu Rongrong was not a shy person to begin with. After finishing her breakfast, fatigue from the night before came over her. She stopped refusing and followed Wen Yao to the bathroom.

There were several stones baked with charcoal fire in the bath room. Wen Yao poured some water on them. Steam rose up and for a moment, clouds and mist lingered, giving a fairy-like feeling.

Xu Rongrong's white legs walked into the bathtub, the petals spread out with the waves, and she sank herself down.

Let the hot water surround you.

"You go and do your work first." Xu Rongrong had always been unwilling to be served when she was bathing, but Wen Yao was already used to it. She poured some water on the hot stones, and the bathroom was warm, so there was no need to worry about the young lady catching a cold.

Xu Rongrong seemed to be surrounded by warm sunshine. She leaned against the bathtub and fell asleep unknowingly.

On the other side, Mu Rong had just returned to the study after finishing his meal when he saw Mu Yi coming in hurriedly.

"My Lord, I have found out everything about Wei Shi."

After Mu Yi finished speaking, he presented a secret letter from Mu Wu. Ever since he began to suspect Wei Shi, Mu Wu had been sent to investigate his past and whereabouts.

After Mu Rong read the secret letter carefully, he sneered and said, "He is also a strange man!"

"Master, what are the next arrangements?" Mu Yi asked.

"Find a secret guard around His Majesty, give him some clues, and ask him to reveal Wei Shi's thoughts to His Majesty." Mu Rong's mouth curled up slightly, "I want to see what His Majesty would do if he knew that this good helper I found has been coveting his concubines all along, and even had the intention of making him childless!"

"Yes!"

"Also, the midwife sent by His Majesty poisoned herself and others in order to pretend to be sick. This poison was obtained from Wei Shi's men. Let's release it as well, so that His Majesty can be busy for a while."

Mu Yi agreed and left the study.

Mu Rong stood at the window and looked towards the Xinghui Hall.

My mind is clear...Mu Wu's news came at the right time.

The third brother could not understand why Wei Shi would help His Majesty to attack him. He could not bear to be cruel to this loyal servant whom his mother trusted, and always hoped that there might be some misunderstanding.

Now it seems that everything has an answer.

This matter will soon come to an end.

The poison in his body was becoming more and more overbearing, and he no longer had any hope for a detoxification method.

He just wanted to have less distractions during the increasingly limited time he and she spent together.

Thinking of the girl in his heart, he involuntarily walked towards Xinghui Hall.

The inner room was quiet, and some mist was slowly coming out of the bathroom in the corner.

"Rongrong?" Mu Rong called softly.

No one answered.

"Wen Yao? Luo Shu?" Mu Rong called again, but still no one answered.

He felt uneasy and walked in quickly.

At the end of the scattered mist in the bathroom, the girl was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bathtub, her red lips slightly parted, her wet hair scattered, a few strands firmly attached to her cheeks.

Half of her arm was clinging to the edge of the bathtub, her head was resting on the back of her hand, her fair shoulders were visible above the water, and the surface of the water was covered with bright flower petals.

Such a scene made Mu Rong almost unable to breathe.

He immediately turned his back and raised his voice to wake her up: "Rongrong, come out quickly, the water is cold."

Xu Rongrong was suddenly awakened. She opened her eyes and subconsciously stood up with the help of the bathtub.

The slight chill all over her body made her wake up instantly. When she looked up, she saw the man standing in front of her with his back to her.

She was so panicked that she slipped and screamed.

Mu Rong turned around subconsciously and hugged her.

"Don't look!" Xu Rongrong exclaimed.

"I didn't see anything!" Mu Rong closed his eyes when he turned around.

The girl fell into his arms, and the water stains on her body soaked his clothes.

Mu Rong never liked stickiness, but at this moment he felt throbbing all over his body.

When our eyes cannot see, our hearing, touch and smell become extra sensitive.

Listening to her heavy breathing due to fright, he held her in his arms, her smooth and delicate waist, and smelled the fragrance he had been waiting for for a long time.

In such an ignorant morning.

His whole heart and body were completely awakened.
