After returning to the camp, Xu Rongrong was promoted from the daughter of a sixth-rank imperial minister to the second-rank county head of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She is also the first county head who is not from a clan.

The decorations inside and outside the tent were also changed. In less than a quarter of an hour, the plain white account was replaced by flowers with ten thousand characters, and a vermilion plaque was hung on the door with the word "Peace" written on it.

The teams giving out rewards come one after another.

"The Empress will reward the Lord of Ping'an County with eight pieces of Shu brocade!"

"Concubine Shu rewards the Lord of Ping'an County with eight dendrobiums of pearls!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewards the Lord of Pingan County with six pieces of jadeite!"

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess rewards Ping'an County Lord Nanhong with six sets!"

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince..."

"Your Highness the Second Imperial Concubine..."

Wen Yao stayed outside the tent to express gratitude and receive the rewards, and was dazzled by the rewards flowing in like water.

This was the first time she saw these precious and rare objects: "Miss, how amazing is it to win such a huge reward in just one afternoon?"

"Then do you know why your Majesty rewarded me?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"The decree says it's because the young lady is astute and has a holy heart." Wen Yao replied.

"It's not that simple. Your Majesty is just trying to show off to Marquis Weiyuan...Marquis Weiyuan is a first-grade military prince, and my father is just a sixth-grade official with no achievements. This marriage is not from the right family. Your Majesty took this opportunity to elevate my status, in the end it was for the sake of the Marquis." Because he knew it in his heart, Xu Rongrong didn't show much joy on his face.

She always wanted to separate clearly from Mu Rong, but in the end she still had to borrow his light.

Xu Rongrong felt a trace of sadness in her heart.

In such a world, could she really escape from him?

Not far away, Mu Rong saw everything in his eyes: she didn't seem happy.

Looking at the endless palace people coming in and out of the tent, Mu Ai sighed: "Our eldest lady is really a blockbuster! I heard that she made His Majesty's Sacred Heart happy with just a few words."

"Really?" Mu Rong dropped these two words and turned back to his tent.

Xu Rongrong knew the emperor's preferences so clearly. It was a blessing or a worry for him.

There was a hint of fragrance left in the tent, and Mu Rong frowned subconsciously.

There is a bowl of ginkgo and white fungus soup on the table, which is still steaming faintly. It seems that it has just been put in.

The white fungus is clear and the ginkgo is round. This bowl of soup is really well-heated.

In his previous life, whenever Lin Jiaoyue made him angry, she would personally cook a bowl of white fungus and ginkgo soup like this to apologize to him.

Mu Ai, who entered the tent later, also saw it. He quickly lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart:

Nowadays, his Marquis is very hard-hearted towards the princess, and he is afraid that this bowl of soup will anger the Marquis again and cause him to suffer.

Mu Rong snorted softly and was about to throw the soup bowl away.

But after picking up the soup bowl, he changed his mind. He pondered for a long time and then ordered: "Go and send a message to the princess and ask her to talk to her at the same place tonight."

Muai: "..."

……

The sky turned completely dark, and the last group of people who came to present rewards also left.

The camp finally became quiet.

Xu Rongrong sat in front of the desk, holding a book in one hand and supporting his forehead with the other, thinking about something.

Wen Yao saw that his lady hadn't touched a single bite of the dinner he had delivered, so he asked, "Does the lady have a headache again?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

In the camp not far away, there were bursts of joy, as if they were celebrating something.

"I just heard that the generals who received rewards today are celebrating their achievements. I'm afraid there will be a fuss for a while."

As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of joy and laughter.

Xu Rongrong was a little irritable and put down the book: "I'm going out for a walk. You can have dinner."

After speaking, she opened the door and walked out.

The evening breeze was like a pair of gentle scissors, cutting the flags outside the tent into graceful shapes.

The further away from the camp, the more she could feel the cool refreshing feeling, which made her feel much clearer than before.

A tall man, dressed in the attire of an ordinary sergeant, was walking from a distance.

Xu Rongrong stopped, it was Mu Ai.

The visitor hurriedly saluted: "I have met Miss Xu." He lowered his head as he spoke, as if he was ashamed, and couldn't help but dodge.

"Where did General Ai come from?"

"Subordinate...Subordinate is walking around alone...yes, walking around."

From the direction he came from, two figures could be faintly seen riding away.

One of them is dressed in red, which makes it difficult to hide his brilliance even under the night. The other person's clothes are difficult to distinguish, but it is vaguely visible that he is a tall man.

"Are they the Marquis and Princess Qingyang?" Xu Rongrong asked.

Mu Ai's heart was numb with pain: Master, you really can't blame me.

He murmured for a long time and found an excuse: "It's... the princess wants to ask the Marquis for advice..."

Although this invitation was initiated by the Marquis, it was the princess who sent the soup first, so this excuse cannot be wrong...

Xu Rongrong nodded. Somehow, it felt like a big stone fell to the ground in her heart:

This is what Mu Rong should have done in his previous life.

But after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped.

Mu Ai hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with the eldest lady?"

Xu Rongrong's face gradually turned pale, and she remembered something that was about to be ignored by her:

In her memory, what happened at the same time as the emperor's fall from his horse was that Mu Rong was seriously injured in the hunting palace.She remembered that Mu Rong... was shot by an arrow just to save Qingyang Princess Lin Jiaoyue. The serious injury almost killed him!

She turned around suddenly and looked in the direction the two were leaving.

Mu Rong seemed to be heading in the direction set by fate.

In his previous life, he was in a coma for three days and took half a year to recover.

What about this life?Will he avoid it?Or will it hurt more seriously? !

Xu Rongrong's footsteps were frozen in place, and her heart was filled with emotions.

Was she going to stop him?

But if he was seriously injured by an arrow like in his previous life, does it mean that he was not reborn like himself?

But if it was just to verify whether he was reborn, would you just watch him go into danger?

The evening breeze blew in her face, chilling her to the bone this time.

……

The old place Mu Rong mentioned was under the only banyan tree in the hunting palace.

The banyan tree branches are densely leafy and look like a canopy from a distance, making it easy to hide their traces.

In previous years, every time he came to the hunting palace, he and Lin Jiaoyue would meet here.

Today, under the banyan tree, Lin Jiaoyue was dressed in dazzling red. She bit her lip, tilted her head and looked at the man in front of her:

"Brother Rong finally couldn't hold it any longer... and came to see me?"

"You spoke so decisively the first two times, I really thought you would never pay attention to me."

After saying that, she opened her arms and wanted to rush over and hug him.

Mu Rong took two steps back and whispered in a deep voice.

Lin Jiaoyue was confused: "Brother Rong, what did you say?"

"Stay there and don't move."

Lin Jiaoyue: "..."

In an instant, an anxious female voice came from a distance, and the sound cut through the night sky: "Mu Rong, get out of the way!"

It's Xu Rongrong.

Mu Rong raised his lips: She is still here.

The next moment, a lightning-quick arrow pierced through his chest, and Mu Rong slowly fell down with a satisfied smile.
