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

On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the first snow fell in the capital.

For the next five days, Xu Rongrong stayed in the tea room almost all day.

This place is not like a study. She has opened all the windows on four sides, and the biting cold wind can keep her awake at all times.

The fire in the center of the tea room also protected her from the cold.

She had read almost all the books in the library without sleep, except for the one in front of her.

The torn pages had long been scattered and incomplete, and the words were so blurred that they were almost illegible, but she still stubbornly read them word by word.

Every night Mu Rong returned home under the cover of darkness, looking at her tired body and red eyes, and his heart was filled with indescribable heartache.

But he knew that if Xu Rongrong didn't get the result she wanted, she would never give up.

Therefore, he could only wait until she was extremely tired and fell asleep before carefully carrying her back to the bedroom.

But once you hold it, you'll never want to let it go.

But now is not the time for any romantic things, he and she both have too many things to do.

He placed a deep kiss between her brows.

Then he covered her with a quilt and went to the study.

The Mu family army has not sent back any news from the Northwest Road and Lingnan Road yet, and it is unclear whether there are private armies stationed there.

But Mu Wu gained some things in Yuzhou City.

The pigeon letter came back with only two lines of words on it: "Verified, private army leader Zou Rixia is from Chuyang."

Chu Yang Zou Rixia!

Mu Rong's eyes were cold. It was you.

……

The light in the study flickered.

An hour later, Mu Rong came out.

Mu Yi had been waiting outside. The Marquis had been getting busier these days. He guessed that the Marquis might need him for tasks at any time, so he was extremely alert and did not dare to delay at all.

"What are your orders?"

Mu Rong handed him the note in his hand and continued, "Tell the Mu family army in Jiangnan Road to let them all obey Mu Wu's orders."

Mu Yi estimated for a moment: "There are a total of 78 people in the Jiangnan Mu family army. If we mobilize them together, it will attract attention."

"Whoever looks at me will be killed."

"This...isn't the noise too loud?"

Mu Rong sneered: "Looking like they are about to fall out, so what if there is some noise?"

The end of the year was approaching, and he no longer had time to accompany the emperor in circles.

Seeing that his lord had made up his mind, Mu Yi did not delay any longer and immediately delivered the message.

Perhaps he felt uneasy, so after Mu Rong arranged everything, he hurried back to his room.

Sure enough, Xu Rongrong was seen standing at the door wearing a cloak and looking very tired.

His heart trembled slightly and he took a few steps forward.

"It's freezing cold, why are you standing here?" His eyes were full of heartache.

He raised his hand and wrapped her small hand in his palm.

It was indeed unusually cold. He frowned and asked, "How long have you been standing here with your hands so cold?"

Feeling the warmth on the back of her hand, Xu Rongrong showed a happy expression: "My Lord, you are not cold anymore?"

Ever since he was poisoned, his body temperature has been abnormal. Moreover, it had just snowed in the past few days. Even if his cold poison had not taken effect, he shouldn't be so warm. Could it be that the exploration she and Shu Qing had been doing these days had finally paid off?

Mu Rong smiled when he heard this and said, "Rongrong has taken such good care of me, so the cold poison will naturally stay away from me."

Meeting his smiling eyes.

Xu Rongrong was distracted for a moment, and while she was in a daze, Mu Rong pulled her into his arms and took her back to the room.

The room was warm, and Mu Rong took off her cloak.

Seeing that she was only wearing a middle-length dress, Mu Rong frowned again.

He wanted to act like a husband and scold his disobedient wife, but when he saw her red nose from the cold and thought about how she had been looking forward to him when he came back just now, he couldn't say a harsh word.

He simply stretched out his long arms, picked her up by the waist, took a few quick steps and tucked her back into the bed.

He covered her with a blanket and said, "Don't joke with your body."

"I didn't." Xu Rongrong whispered, "I just don't know what you were doing. You went to the study so late. I was afraid you were hiding something from me."

After all, the poisoning was such a serious matter, so he kept it a secret from her.

"It's just that Mu Wu has made some discoveries. I was planning to tell you when you wake up tomorrow morning..." Mu Rong paused and then looked at Xu Rongrong, "Do you know everything about what happened when I came back just now?"

Then doesn't she also know about the kiss he placed on her forehead before he left for the study?

Xu Rongrong nodded with blushing cheeks.

She spent the whole day piecing together and deciphering the torn medical book, and was naturally very tired.

She knew that Mu Rong was hugging her, but she was too sleepy to open her eyes. Moreover, she was already used to Mu Rong's touch, so she did not resist and fell asleep.

Who would have thought... he would secretly kiss her while she was sleeping.

"Rongrong is pretending really well." Mu Rong joked with a smile.

Xu Rongrong buried her cheek deeper into the quilt, her long and dense eyelashes fluttering.

"It was obviously Lord Meng Lang, why are you blaming me... Besides, with Lord Meng Lang's ability, couldn't he have seen that I was not in deep sleep..."

Her voice stopped abruptly at this moment.

Mu Rong also noticed something was wrong and tried to change the subject.

Xu Rongrong had already sat up from the bed, holding Mu Rong's warm wrist with her fingertips, her eyes darkened: "Did the Marquis take the medicine?!"

She said it with certainty.

With Mu Rong's ability, he could tell that she was pretending to sleep in just one breath!

But why didn't he see it?

Unless, he had an attack of cold poison!

But his body temperature is normal now, which can only mean that he took the warming and tonic medicine given by Shu Qing to temporarily suppress the toxicity before he came back.

At this moment, Mu Rong felt somewhat regretful.

If I had known she was so sensitive, I wouldn't have teased her just now... But now...

He had been busy all day and his body could not take it anymore in the evening. After dealing with Mu Wu's matter, he wanted to go back to his room but was afraid of being exposed. After thinking for a while, he took out the pill prepared by Shu Qing from the secret compartment in the study and swallowed one.

Looking at the expression of the person in front of her, Xu Rongrong knew that she had guessed right.

Her eyes were a little red, and she quickly lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.

"Rongrong, what are you going to do?" Mu Rong stopped her.

"Go find a way to detoxify." Xu Rongrong struggled.

But the next moment, she was wrapped in a brocade quilt by Mu Rong and trapped tightly under him.

"You are not allowed to go." Mu Rong's face enlarged in front of her eyes.

His long hair blew down and gently brushed her cheek, causing a tingling sensation.

"Don't take Mr. Shu's medicine anymore!" Xu Rongrong's face turned red with anxiety. The medicine was too warm and tonic, and it would backfire on him after the poison was removed. "My Lord, believe me, the poison for the remaining three people in the clinic has been controlled. I will find an antidote in time."

"Okay, I won't eat anymore." Mu Rong followed suit.

"Lord, please let me go. I am no longer sleepy."

Looking at her red eyes, Mu Rong felt both distressed and warm. It was impossible for him to let her go.

He let his head drop down and nestled in her neck: "But I'm very sleepy, Rongrong, sleep with me for a while."

"I don't feel uncomfortable at all right now." His voice was muffled, and his hair tickled her neck.

How can it not be uncomfortable?

Xu Rongrong felt a numb pain in her chest. She gently pushed the man lying on top of her and said, "I can't sleep anyway. Why don't you let me go? It will be more comfortable for me to sleep here alone."

Mu Rong raised his head and smiled: "If Rongrong really can't sleep, why not accompany me to do something else."

After saying this, Xu Rongrong’s eyes kept widening.

His slightly cool lips covered hers.
