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

That night, an imperial decree came from the palace.

Princess Ning was rewarded with two imperial estates by the emperor for her contribution in giving birth to an heir to the royal family.

At the same time, a special bathing ceremony was held to inform the world.

This decree was beyond everyone's expectations.

The current emperor's sons and grandsons do not hold the third-day bathing ceremony.

This ceremony, which seems to be the most ordinary ceremony to the common people, has too many uncertainties when it comes to the descendants of the royal family. Whether it is for safety reasons or because the baby is weak, not holding the third-day bathing ceremony is an unwritten rule that has been passed down since the change of dynasties.

Why would the current emperor make an exception?

The important officials were puzzled.

If it was said that the emperor did not attach importance to the heirs of the Ning Wang Mansion, he broke the convention and personally issued an order to hold a third-day bath, so that all the ministers and people in the world could enjoy it together.

If he valued this heir... but arranged it so hastily, many court officials would have to prepare gifts overnight.

Not to mention the Ning Wang Mansion, which was already in a state of chaos and preparation.

Now that there is no Queen in the Central Palace, your Majesty, as a man, naturally will not consider these details. He only wants to celebrate and may not consider the troubles of everyone.

That’s what the court officials thought.

But those who knew the background better understood the emperor's true intention.

"He wants to kill Sister Mu." Xu Rongrong's eyes were cold. "After visiting Sister Mu, Eunuch Yao naturally told Your Majesty that she was now very prone to hemorrhage due to the influence of safflower. He knew that Sister Mu could not bear the fatigue, but he still ordered a bath at this time. It was clearly to kill her!"

A royal man is trying to seize power, but he wants a woman to pay with her life. How unfair!

Seeing the red eyes of the girl in front of him, Mu Rong couldn't help but feel distressed: "Don't worry, Prince Ning's Mansion has already made a plan to deal with it. You and I will go to the mansion together tomorrow. With you protecting Princess Ning, nothing will happen."

His consolation did not make the girl feel much better. She sighed softly and sat down somewhat dejectedly: "Is it true that once a person steps onto that throne, he will become completely unrecognizable?"

From childhood to adulthood, what she heard and saw was how the emperor loved his people like his own children and how loving the emperor and empress were.

But now the bloody facts before her were the miserable state of the current emperor.

She didn't believe that a person could keep pretending for decades, and that the high-ranking person must have ascended the throne with full of passion.

When did he start to change?

In order to seize the throne, he did not hesitate to listen to the unfounded ancient method and suck the blood of the medicine man.

He is willing to let parents and children fight with each other to keep them firmly in his hands.

I even watched them frame and kill each other.

How cold is his heart...

The girl's melancholy look imprinted in Mu Rong's eyes, making him feel distressed and helpless.

The embarrassing scene in the bathroom made her avoid him for the whole day.

As he was now fully focused on planning the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion, his heart seemed to be gently brushed by a feather, making him itchy and unbearable.

He admitted that his body and mind seemed to be out of his control.

When he married her, he did not ask for anything. He just hoped to keep her by his side for a long time and to ensure that she could live a safe and prosperous life no matter how turbulent the political situation would be in the future.

Later, facing her coldness and strangeness, he hoped that she could give him a chance to get closer.

But now…after her rejection gradually faded, he wanted more.

Every inch of his body screamed out his desire for her.

When I touched her, I felt a primal desire to swallow her into my stomach.

His desire came at an inopportune time, yet was so strong that it seemed to ignite him.

Even the cold poison in the body seemed to start clamoring.

"What's wrong with the Marquis?" Xu Rongrong felt that something was wrong with him and asked in confusion.

Mu Rong subconsciously took a step back and said, "Nothing. I was just thinking that there will be many people going to Prince Ning's mansion to congratulate tomorrow, so Rongrong should take Zhuyu with him."

Zhu Yu is skilled, and she also contributed to "stealing" Wai out at the Qixi banquet.

But after he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong became even more confused: "Didn't you already give the order just now? Why did the Marquis mention it again?"

"Oh... that's what I forgot." Looking at her clear eyes, Mu Rong's ears became redder.

He looked at the sky outside the window and said, "Rongrong, go to bed early. I still have to go out and give some instructions. The internal problems of Prince Ning's Mansion can only be solved tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Watching him fleeing in panic, Xu Rongrong was thinking about something else: Could it be that... the cold poison in his body had recurred? Otherwise, why did he become so strange?

……

The next morning, Jianghan Street became bustling.

The Ning Prince's Mansion is holding its third bath ceremony today. Those who can live on this street are all powerful and influential families, so they will inevitably go to the Ning Prince's Mansion to express congratulations.

As the wife of Marquis Weiyuan, she was not only a member of the royal family, but also represented the family of Princess Ning. It would not have been noticeable if she had gone there earlier.

Mu Qianyin's personal maid had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When she saw her coming, she led her to the inner courtyard.

"Sister Mu, have you been feeling better these past two days?" When Xu Rongrong entered the room, two maids were placing a screen in front of Mu Qianyin's bed.

The screen is used to block the women who come to visit. Now the weather is getting colder day by day, and the cold air they bring in is not conducive to Mu Qianyin's confinement.

However, Xu Rongrong was not among those who were blocked.

She sat down on the embroidered stool at the end of the bed.

"Come closer... I'm not that delicate!" Mu Qianyin looked at her sitting far away and said with a smile, "I'm going to make some bloody smell in this room soon, which is very annoying. Come here quickly and let me smell the fragrance to satisfy my craving!"

Seeing her charming look, Xu Rongrong also smiled: "I never use perfume, so even if I get close to Sister Mu, she won't be able to smell it."

"Girls' body fragrance is the best." Mu Qianyin joked, "Let me see if it has been defiled by my stupid brother!"

Caught off guard, Xu Rongrong was embarrassed.

Seeing her panic and shy look, Mu Qianyin knew...her cousin was probably still resting on the couch every day.

After the pregnancy was over, for the sake of her own and her child's safety, she hardly ever saw Xu Rongrong again.

She could only learn a little about the relationship between Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong from Wu Tianxiao.

But Wu Tianxiao was a man after all and didn't know much. Only Mu Qianyin was careful and after listening to his description she knew that the relationship between the young couple in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion had eased a lot compared to before.

Although she didn't know why Xu Rongrong had always treated her cousin coldly, she knew that Xu Rongrong was not the kind of person who would try to take advantage of her.

Everything has her own reasons, so I never force her in front of her.

But as Mu Rong's cousin, she had seen the Mu family decline from its heyday and was independently supported by Mu Rong until now, so she naturally hoped that her younger brother could get what he wished for.

Never mind. There is no need to rush this matter.
