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

There was also a crucial piece of news in the message sent by Mu Wu.

That was the detailed address of the private armies in Northwest Road and Lingnan Road confessed by Zou Rixia.

Mu Rong immediately dispatched Mu Ai and Mu Lu to rush to the Northwest Road and Lingnan Road, and urgently mobilized the Mu family army stationed in the two places, ordering them to fully cooperate with Mu Ai and Mu Lu, closely track the whereabouts of the two private armies, and never let them have the opportunity to escape or make changes secretly.

After everything was arranged, Mu Rong didn't even have time to rest and rushed straight to Prince Ning's Mansion.

After hearing the news brought by Mu Rong, King Ning Wu Tianxiao fell into a long silence.

The room was so quiet that one could hear each other's breathing. Only the cold winter wind kept shaking the window frames. The faint light of the setting sun swayed in the cold wind, reflecting the complex and unpredictable expression on Prince Ning's face.

Finally, King Ning came back to his senses and sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness and emotion: "After all, this tit-for-tat, unavoidable day has finally arrived."

Mu Rong just stood there quietly without saying anything.

He knew in his heart that King Ning's current reaction was by no means indecisive. In fact, when he first saw Mu Wu's secret letter, he had the same feeling in his heart.

Blood ties are a strange and complex existence. It is like an invisible thread, always pulling at people's hearts, gently touching the softest corner of the heart, making people involuntarily have all kinds of expectations. Even if they know that the person they are facing is setting a trap, they still hold a glimmer of luck until everything is settled and there is no room for maneuver.

"Is our father... also planning to take action on New Year's Eve?" Ning Wang Wu Tianxiao raised his eyes, looking at Mu Rong with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and asked.

Mu Rong nodded slightly and said solemnly, "The royal family and dignitaries will all gather together at that time. There will never be a better time than then. In that atmosphere, whether it is announcing that Your Highness will be crowned the crown prince or demoted to a commoner, there will be many royal family members who will witness it with their own eyes, and everything will be a done deal."

When King Ning heard this, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not utter a word and fell into silence again. The atmosphere in the room became more and more depressing.

After a long time, Mu Rong looked at King Ning's slightly lonely appearance and asked softly, "What are you thinking about, Third Brother?"

King Ning Wu Tianxiao slowly raised his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of thoughts, and he said in a low voice:

"I was thinking, if it weren't for your protection and help, Rong Ge'er... I'm afraid I would have been trapped in this complicated, difficult-to-distinguish true and false brotherhood and father-son relationship, and would have died without a burial place."

Those things that happened in the past kept replaying in Wu Tianxiao's mind: the sinister "strategist" who was lurking beside him, the dangerous situation that Mu Qianyin encountered when she was about to give birth, and the treacherous and murderous night banquet that he was about to face.

Every time, it was Mu Rong who pulled him out of danger.

"Brother Rong, thank you." Wu Tianxiao looked at Mu Rong and said word by word.

At this time, the sun was gradually setting in the west, and the soft afterglow was pouring in through the window, casting the long shadows of the two people on the ground.

The already tall and upright figure appeared even more slender under the reflection of light and shadow, as if carrying the deep and heavy friendship between the two people.

After all, there is still a trace of family affection around him.

Mu Rong smiled: "For His Highness, and for the world."

In his previous life, he killed his third brother with his own hands.

In this life, he wants to restore a clear and wise ruler to the Great Zhou.

……

After all matters were properly arranged, Mu Rong returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

When approaching Xinghui Hall, Mu Rong, who used to be full of vigor and vitality, with an upright posture, as if nothing in the world was pleasing to his eyes, now seemed like a different person.

Instead, there was a look of hesitation and indecision, and even his steps seemed a little hesitant.

He stopped outside the house.

While he was hesitating, a girl's soft voice suddenly came from the room, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through people's hearts: "He's back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy curtain was slowly opened. Xu Rongrong stood behind the door gracefully, staring at him quietly with a pair of watery eyes.

Luo Shu, who was standing by, was smiling and obediently holding the curtain for her. Seeing Mu Rong's expression, he couldn't help but giggle and said crisply, "My Lord, it's freezing outside. Please come in and warm yourself up."

Mu Rong couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face. He coughed lightly and stepped into the house.

Seeing this, Luo Shu's smile deepened a little. He bowed and said softly, "The hot water in the tea room is out. I will go to the kitchen to get it."

After saying that, she swiftly opened the curtain and ran away briskly. When the curtain fell, it brought a hint of coldness.

Mu Rong subconsciously pulled up his cloak to shield Xu Rongrong from the cold wind.

In the blink of an eye, only Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong were left standing opposite each other in the room. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little subtle.

When he got up in the morning, he took away Xu Rongrong's medical book. With her temper, she would definitely have a quarrel with him when she came back.

In the past, he would have had plenty of reasons to convince her.

But during this period of time, the gap between the two of them gradually became smaller and closer. Now that a soft couch was set up for him in the inner room, he felt more worried.

He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, she would kick him out again.

Mu Rong subconsciously lowered his head and stretched out his hand to tear off the cloak on his body, but he didn't know what happened today. The cloak that was usually very easy to untie seemed to have become a spirit at this moment. The straps were pulled tighter and tighter by him. After a while, he almost tore it into a tangled mess, looking very embarrassed.

Xu Rongrong watched quietly for a long time. Seeing how flustered he was, she finally sighed helplessly and walked forward: "Let me do it."

Mu Rong quickly lowered his hands and stood obediently in front of her, not daring to move. He looked quite well behaved.

He was quite tall, almost a head taller than Xu Rongrong. Xu Rongrong raised her head slightly, stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder lightly: "Bend a little! My hands are almost sore."

After hearing this, Mu Rong raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a gentle smile. He squatted down obediently as he was told. His docile look was completely different from the coldness in the eyes of others.

Because of the random pulling just now, the straps of the cloak were now tangled and intricately tangled. Xu Rongrong frowned slightly, and gently pinched the straps with her slender fingers, unraveling them bit by bit with great care and patience, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Mu Rong.

As her slender fingers turned, they would occasionally inadvertently scrape across Mu Rong's neck, causing a slight tingling sensation.

The warm breath from her body was like a wisp of smoke, lingering around Mu Rong and drifting towards his nose.

Mu Rong felt his heart was filled with fullness, and his Adam's apple slid up and down involuntarily, trying hard to suppress the strange feeling that kept rising up.

She was so seductive without even realizing it.

As for him, he was made miserable by this unintentional teasing.

Mu Rong couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm his panicked heart.

At this moment, Xu Rongrong's gentle voice sounded again: "Why don't you come in now that you're back home? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?!"

Mu Rong was stunned. He suspected that he was hallucinating. He actually heard a hint of coquettishness in her words. This strange feeling made him a little overwhelmed for a moment.
