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

There was an hourglass on Mu Rong's desk.

At this moment, the room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of an hourglass.

Xu Rongrong lay on the small couch, covering her cheeks with her arms. Only the red tips of her ears could reveal her state of mind at the moment.

Mu Rong's fingertips pressed slightly with force on her numb waist, abdomen and legs.

He felt relaxed, but she felt like the days were passing by slowly.

As soon as the pain eased, she struggled to sit up.

Sure enough, her fair cheeks and slender swan neck were now as red as shrimp.

Mu Rong rubbed his fingertips impatiently and said with a smile: "Rongrong, why are you still so shy?"

Obviously they had done other more intimate things.

Like kissing, like hugging and sleeping...

Xu Rongrong raised her head and glared at him, but the annoyance in her eyes had no killing power: "If you do this again next time, I won't care!"

After saying that, he walked away as if he was in a bad mood.

The door of the study was slammed shut.

Mu Rong looked at the soft light coming through the crack in the door and a smile appeared unconsciously on his lips.

In the past, after he adjusted his breathing, the cold poison was not as severe as when it attacked, but it still tore at his heart and lungs.

But today, my chest is filled with warm sunshine.

It turns out that she is her best antidote.

……

Xu Rongrong didn't really ignore him.

She left the study and went to the clinic. Shu Qing was not seeing patients today.

After his reputation spread in the capital, several doctors came to him and wanted to become his disciples.

Luo Chen quietly found out the details of these people, and Shu Qing also found that three of them had good qualifications, were young and willing to learn, so he kept them.

Before coming here, they were also well-known local doctors, so treating ordinary patients was no problem for them.

Including these three people, plus several doctors from pharmacies that were acquired when the clinic expanded, there are currently seven doctors.

Shu Qing now handed over all the common patients in the clinic to them.

As for himself, he has been staying in the backyard these days, specializing in the ice-sealing poison.

When Xu Rongrong came over, he was sitting in the yard.

His face looked haggard and tired, and the tea bowl on the stone table had long been cold.

But what shocked Xu Rongrong was that Shu Qing was holding a pipe in his hand...

A sense of uneasiness welled up in her heart.

Sure enough, when Shu Qing saw her coming, his eyes turned red.

"Last night, another person died..."

He hit his head with his hand: "There are only three left."

Xu Rongrong knew what he meant. She looked from afar at the courtyard where the death row prisoners from southern Xinjiang were hidden without saying a word.

Shu Qing stood up and raised his hand to wipe his face randomly.

Then he casually put the pipe into his waist.

Like a farmer, he walked towards the yard with his head lowered.

But as he walked, he felt there was someone beside him.

"Why is the county lady here?" He was a little surprised.

"From today on, Mr. Shu and I will work together to develop a method to detoxify."

"But... the county lady has no medical experience."

"From a medical perspective, I rely entirely on Mr. Shu. I only start from pharmacology. Everything has his solution. I don't believe I can't find it!"

Seeing Xu Rongrong's confident look, Shu Qing felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or bitterness...

Is there really a solution to everything?

He has lived for so many years that he is no longer sure.

Xu Rongrong stayed in the clinic the whole day. When Shu Qing gave injections to the death row prisoners to suppress the poison, she watched from the side and recorded the changes in each person.

She also asked for the pills that Shu Qing prepared to suppress the toxicity in Mu Rong.

He rolled some medicine foam onto his fingers and took a light sniff, and his expression changed.

"How long has he been using this medicine?" She turned to look at Shu Qing.

He hadn't realized that the county lady was so perceptive. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he told the truth with a wry smile: "I've used up two bottles."

"How could it be so fast?!" She frowned. "This medicine has a very powerful effect. After temporarily suppressing the symptoms of the cold poison, it will make the next attack even more painful."

Shu Qing smiled and said, "The Marquis didn't want the county lady to find out that he was poisoned, but since you two are already married, if he keeps avoiding her, the county lady will definitely get suspicious... So every time he was with the county lady, he would use this medicine to suppress it and act like a normal person... If I hadn't strictly forbidden him to take medicine again, I'm afraid he would have collapsed by now."

Xu Rongrong's face turned pale.

She finally found the reason why he was so hot and cold towards her after she married into the Marquis's Mansion.

Although she was not poisoned at this moment, a chill slowly spread from her heart, causing her unbearable pain.

She didn't know how she walked out of the courtyard or left the clinic.

She didn't know how desolate the image she left behind was to Shu Qing.

She returned to the mansion in a daze, the pill dissolved in her palm, leaving brown stains all over her hands.

When they returned to Xinghui Hall, Mu Rong was gone.

The door curtain swayed gently, and she seemed to see him standing at the door again, and the surprise in his eyes when she forbade Luo Shu to feed Baiyu and Bairong too much food.

She was full of doubts at that time, but now she finally got the answer.

She remembered that not long after their marriage, Mu Ai had asked Wen Yao why she had not named the two white rabbits that the Marquis had sent her.

I heard that Mu Rong was depressed for a long time because of this.

At that time, Wen Yao just told her it as gossip, and she didn't take it seriously.

Thinking about it now... he must have felt that she had no intention of keeping the things he gave her for long, right?

Just like himself.

She suddenly understood his feelings, and also suddenly felt that his unexpected surprise was so...humble.

He returned her life, but didn't dare tell anyone.

He was afraid that she would know, so he endured the pain several times more and pretended nothing had happened in front of her.

And she...just gave a name to the white rabbit she sent him, and it made him so happy.

Was she too cruel to him?

The pain from the previous life was still there, but in this life, he was opening her heart.

She didn't know how to deal with it.

Because there are no answers to anything.

The light outside the window gradually dimmed, and Xu Rongrong went to the place where the books were stored, holding a candle.

This was originally Princess Rongyang’s library.

The precious books inside were taken out by Mu Rong and given to her as a New Year gift.

When she married into the palace, she brought them all back and put them back in their original places.

He groped his way through the bookshelves one by one.

She had read some of these books thoroughly in her previous life, but none of them mentioned the solution to the cold poison.

She walked to the deepest place, where there were old and rare books. Many of the words on them were no longer clear, and some of the pages were incomplete.

It was a treasure that she had never touched before, but now she held it in her palm.

……

It was late at night when Mu Rong returned home, and a small lamp was still burning in the room.

He lifted the curtain and entered the inner room. Xu Rongrong was not on the bed, but was sleeping under the lamp.

She held a book in her hands.

This was not the first time Mu Rong had seen this kind of scene. He shook his head helplessly, ready to take the book away and carry her back to bed.

But this time, she held the book very tightly in her hands.

He approached suspiciously, and by candlelight, he could vaguely read the words on the book: Poison... Antidote...

His heart trembled slightly.
