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

When I returned to the mansion, everything was quiet.

Xu Rongrong walked into the mansion quietly without disturbing anyone, like a night bird quietly returning to its nest.

As soon as I entered Xinghui Hall, I saw Mu Yi coming out with sweat all over his forehead.

In the coldest days of winter, it's not easy to sweat as much as he does.

"Is Master Yi okay?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Mu Yi smiled slightly, calmed down for a moment, and then nodded and said: "I am fine, it is late, Madam, please go back to your room and rest."

Xu Rongrong subconsciously glanced at the dim light in the room and felt inexplicably lost.

"The Marquis hasn't come back yet?" Xu Rongrong asked again.

The smile on Mu Yi's face froze, and then he replied: "The Marquis came back in the evening, and just now he left the house for something important."

It is now the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year's Eve banquet is getting closer and closer. It is understandable that Mu Rong is so busy.

Xu Rongrong didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently and turned to go into the room.

On the other side, Chu He quietly returned to the palace under the cover of night. As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, a dark shadow blocked his way like a ghost.

Chu He attacked subconsciously, but after only two moves, he realized who the person was and stopped immediately.

"My Lord, why are you running to the palace so late instead of going back home to rest? Are you planning to launch a surprise attack tonight?" Chu He calmly put his sword back to his waist.

Mu Rong walked out from under the shadow of the tree.

He was wearing a dark nightgown, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

"You've revealed your true colors today." His voice was low and cold, like a gust of cold wind blowing in Chu He's face, causing him to shiver.

His face changed slightly:

When he left the palace today, he looked around carefully and found nothing unusual.

When he arrived near the teahouse, he lay in wait for a quarter of an hour before entering. How could he have been tailed?

Seeing the strange look on his face, Mu Rong raised his hand, stretched out two fingers, and tapped lightly.

"Two... two tails in total. One was inside the palace and found you leaving the palace in the middle of the night; the other was at the palace gate and followed you."

Chu He's eyes dimmed and he prepared to leave the palace again.

"I have already taken care of it for you." Mu Rong said calmly, as if brushing off a grain of dust. "Mu Qi in the palace has buried his body in a dry well. The drunk man at the palace gate fell into the moat. His body will be seen tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, Chu He breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still grim and his heart was filled with guilt.

"Thank you, my lord." Chu He bowed. He knew very well that what happened today was due to his lack of caution.

Mu Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "I don't care what you do, but don't put her in danger."

If he had not discovered it just now and acted in time, the news of the deputy commander of the imperial guards having a secret meeting with the wife of Marquis Weiyuan would have been reported to the emperor by now!

Needless to say, the overall situation will be affected, and the emperor will definitely take action against Xu Rongrong.

He is now too busy to handle everything, and the consequences of any negligence would be disastrous.

He was willing to help his third brother achieve a prosperous era, but if she couldn't enjoy this prosperous era, what was the point of starting over for him? !

Mu Rong looked unkind when he spoke, but Chu He did not take it to heart.

He knew very well that he had been reckless today.

He hadn't seen her for a long time, and when he heard that she wanted to invite him for something, even though he thought he had done everything perfectly, he still lost his composure because of his palpitations.

"Don't worry, my lord. There won't be a next time." Chu He promised.

Mu Rong nodded. He came here today to clean up the mess for Chu He and to warn him not to take it lightly. After all, Rongrong was different from Chu He. Even though she had memories of two lives, she was a simple-minded girl. She was different from those people in the vortex of imperial power!

As for Chu He, he is a sensible man and he only needs to stop when necessary.

Now that his goal had been achieved, Mu Rong no longer wished to linger in the palace, so he turned around and left.

"My Lord, don't you want to know why the county lady wants to see me?" When Chu He first met Mu Rong, he hesitated whether to tell him the truth, but at this moment, he decided to tell him the truth.

"No need." Mu Rong didn't turn around, but just waved his hand. "She has her reasons for looking for you. If she doesn't want me to know, I won't ask others."

After saying that, Mu Rong's figure disappeared into the vast night, leaving Chu He standing there alone.

……

When they returned to Weiyuan Marquis's residence, Mu Yi hurriedly came forward and whispered, "Madam has returned home safely an hour ago."

Mu Rong nodded, silently took off his nightgown and threw it to Mu Yi.

"Why are the Marquis' clothes so cold?" Mu Yi frowned slightly.

Mu Rong glanced at him calmly and said calmly: "You are galloping in the cold night, and your clothes will be as cold as ice."

"I am the one who spoke too much." Mu Yi said no more, but frowned slightly, obviously still having doubts in his heart - having said that, night clothes are different from ordinary clothes, they are tight-fitting and will retain some body temperature when they are just taken off.

He had waited on his own lord when he returned home in the middle of the night before, and he always felt that today seemed different from the past.

Seeing this, Mu Rong secretly thought that this was not good.

He took the nightgown back from Mu Yi as if by accident: "This dress is old, let's burn it somewhere deserted tomorrow."

"My subordinate understands."

"Where is Mu Si now?" Mu Rong changed the subject.

"In reply to the Marquis, I have just activated the carrier pigeon service. I think Xiao Si has received the news by now. If he returns from the northern suburbs camp, he should be here in three hours." Mu Yi reported.

Mu Rong nodded and said, "Mu Si doesn't need to show up after he comes back. You just need to arrange for him to protect Madam's safety at all times. Whether inside or outside the mansion, he must always be with her... But he doesn't need to interfere with what Madam does or who she sees, nor does he need to report it to me."

"Yes."

"You go down and arrange it." Mu Rong waved his hand.

After Mu Yi left, Weiyuan Hou Mu Rong finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if the tense string had finally been loosened.

But his body shook a little, and he quickly held onto the door frame of the study.

After running around a lot tonight and assassinating a palace guard, the cold poison in his body was awakened again, and now it is like a ferocious beast wreaking havoc in his body.

He leaned against the door and took a long breath before he stood up again.

Now, Mu Wu is heading north with Zou Rixia in Jiangnan Road. Mu Ai and Mu Lu were sent by him to Lingnan Road and Northwest Road to investigate the traces of the private army. There are only a few guards of the Mu family army left in Beijing.

Today, Rongrong's meeting with Chu He was almost discovered by His Majesty, which forced him to recall Mu Si who was buried in the northern suburbs camp.

The situation is urgent...

Rongrong, no matter what you want to do, you must be safe.
