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

If Xu Rongrong hadn't reacted first and pushed him hard.

Mu Rong didn't know how long to keep this hug.

The moment his hand touched the girl's naked waist, he felt like his blood was about to explode.

The pain caused by the cold poison seemed to disappear under the instinctive rush of hot blood.

It wasn't until Xu Rongrong dived back under the water again that he came to his senses.

"Sorry." His voice was a little hoarse, and the throbbing somewhere made him lose his tone. "The water is cold, I was worried that you would be cold."

"All lechers say so!" In the few storybooks that Xu Rongrong had read, almost every one had such a plot, but she never expected that it would happen to her today.

She herself had not expected that, just by soaking in the bathtub for a while longer, she would actually fall asleep like in the storybook.

Seeing him close his eyes tightly, Xu Rongrong was anxious and annoyed: "Get out!"

Then he added: "Don't open your eyes."

Mu Rong naturally had no choice but to respond and slowly retreated.

Because he didn't dare to open his eyes, he was a little restrained when exploring the way, like a... blind man.

Xu Rongrong watched him groping away, and her originally annoyed look gradually eased.

Shu Qing told her that if the ice poison continued to spread, it would most likely damage the blood vessels around the eyes, and then make the poisoned person... blind.

When she heard that, she couldn't imagine what would happen to Marquis Weiyuan, who had always been high and mighty and had extraordinary martial power, once he became blind.

But now, she seemed to see it.

He became cautious and reserved...

She put on her clothes, tied her belt and walked out of the bathroom with a thoughtful look on her face.

Mu Rong was drinking tea by the window. He curled up his slender fingers, grasped the teacup and just took a sip, turned his head and saw Xu Rongrong with a solemn expression, and his heart sank.

In the short time she was getting dressed, he imagined that when she came out she would be embarrassed, annoyed, and would ignore him.

But I never thought that she would be so distraught.

Are you remembering your past life?

That time, he was so rough and desperate to get her, viciously swallowing all her grievances into his mouth.

Did his recklessness and touch just now remind her of the unbearable past?

The regret in his heart could no longer be described as "regret".

He stopped walking towards her and stood there in a daze.

"My lord, come here in a hurry. Is there any unusual movement in Prince Ning's mansion?" It was Xu Rongrong who took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the room.

Her words startled him.

She...did not flee from him again because of the pain of her past life, as he feared.

Watching her walking towards him step by step, Mu Rong's anxious heart finally calmed down.

"Third brother, everything is fine. As for Wei Shi...his background has been found out."

Why Wei Shi, the person entrusted by Concubine Wei personally during her lifetime and the person Ning Wang Wu Tianxiao relied on the most, would decide to defect to the emperor and betray Ning Wang? This is something they have always been unable to understand.

And now, everything has an answer.

"His original surname is Zheng, and his father was a private school teacher in Huzhou prefecture. Thirty years ago, the prefect of Huzhou was corrupt and implicated his father. Since then, his family has fallen into poverty, and Zheng Shi has been living among beggars. When he was on the verge of death, he was rescued by the eldest lady of the Wei family and brought back to the Wei family." Mu Rong said slowly.

"Since his life was saved by Concubine Wei, why would he betray Concubine Wei's only child?" Xu Rongrong was even more puzzled.

She originally thought that maybe the Wei family had a mortal hatred for him, which made him endure so much just for revenge.

But from what he heard just now, it was clear that the Wei family had favors for him!

Mu Rong smiled and said, "This is exactly why his motives are hard to find. Mu Wu spent several months searching for his whereabouts in Huzhou and the capital, only to find out that he was paying too much attention to Concubine Wei."

Xu Rongrong stared.

"More than 20 years ago, when Concubine Wei was pregnant with my third brother and was about to give birth, Wei Shi detained an experienced midwife in the mansion and asked her about everything about childbirth, including the discomfort during pregnancy, the pain of childbirth, and the suffering after childbirth. He asked very carefully, as if he wanted to empathize with the woman's experience of childbirth."

"That nanny has been assisting with births for decades, and this is the first time she has encountered a family where there is no woman, but the man is more nervous than any other husband about his wife's birth."

After Mu Rong finished speaking, Xu Rongrong blinked. Although she was full of disbelief, she still blurted out: "Has Wei Shi always been in love with Concubine Wei?"

Mu Rong nodded: "Rongrong has read a lot of storybooks?"

When a servant falls in love with his master, it is most likely to disrupt the bloodline of the noble family, which is not allowed by secular etiquette in all dynasties. Only some storybooks will be used as erotic stories to attract the lower class people to read.

As a woman from an official family, Xu Rongrong was able to see through Wei Shi's thoughts in one sentence, which shows that it was all from the storybook.

In addition, when she blurted out the word "lecher" in the bathroom just now, she also thought of those common erotic plots.

Mu Rong's words made Xu Rongrong's cheeks turn red immediately.

She...had only read three or five books.

"My Lord, don't talk about other things, let's talk about Wei Shi." Xu Rongrong turned her head away, "Since he has such thoughts about the queen, and Your Majesty has taken the queen away as an emperor, why would he choose to cooperate with Your Majesty? This... is unreasonable."

"It would be unreasonable for others, but he is not an ordinary person." Mu Rong continued, "He did not covet Concubine Wei in an ordinary way. He knew that he was a slave and did not dare to covet Concubine Wei. He only wanted to protect her and help her live a safe life in the harem. But he did not expect... His Majesty actually treated Concubine Wei as a decoration, and did not change even after Concubine Wei gave birth to a child. The title of concubine was only conferred after her death... You can imagine the resentment in his heart."

At this point, Xu Rongrong finally understood.

She looked at Mu Rong in confusion: "So, he hates not only His Majesty, but the entire royal family?"

Mu Rong nodded.

"Although Prince Ning is Concubine Wei's only child, he is also hated by him because of his royal blood?"

Mu Rong nodded again.

"This man... this man is too paranoid!" Xu Rongrong said angrily, "Doesn't he know that the root of all this is the emperor? If he wants to avenge Concubine Wei so much, why doesn't he cut himself and go to the palace to take revenge?! He is just afraid of the emperor's majesty, so he only dares to attack others!"

Seeing her say the words "cut yourself" in a playful manner, Mu Rong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Rongrong was feeling angry when she heard his sudden laughter. She was then shocked to realize that her words were so vulgar.

She stamped her feet in shame and annoyance: "A confused man is not a good thing."

After saying that, she glanced at Mu Rong and added, "They are all bad people!"

Mu Rong's smile froze on his face.
