Xiao Ruge's tone stiffened. She had forgotten that the things at the end of the year had not happened yet, and she had inadvertently revealed something that had not happened yet.

She frowned in annoyance, picked up the notebook and looked through it, trying to cover up the mistake she had just made.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mu Gu directly took the notebook from her hand, grabbed Xiao Ruge's arms, and trapped both of them in his arms.

"Ruge, I found that you have many secrets that I don't know."

Being hugged, Xiao Ruge's face showed no fluctuation, she just looked at the man in front of her calmly.

"I have many secrets, including knowing how long you will live. How about that? Your Highness, do you want to know how long you can live?"

Mu Gu looked into Xiao Ruge's eyes and saw a hint of seriousness in those black eyes. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and at the same time, a dream he had had since childhood came to his mind.

"Am I...going to die at a young age?"

Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't answer, her expression told Mu Gu that he was right.

Mu Gu smiled bitterly and hugged Xiao Ruge into his arms, putting his entire weight on her.

"You may not believe this, but I had a dream since I was a child. I dreamed that I commanded thousands of troops, climbed atop a city wall, and commanded two armies to fight against each other."

As if infected by the aura of commanding thousands of troops in the dream, Mu Gu's whole temperament became strong and heroic.

Xiao Ruge listened quietly without saying a word.

"That battle was so fierce that I was trapped in the city, isolated and helpless for a long time..."

Thinking of the desolation and loneliness in the dream, Mu Gu was tainted with a bit of desolation, as if he had really experienced those things and became a lonely man.

"Later, I was defeated, the city gates were breached, and I committed suicide in my mansion."

At this point, he chuckled, perhaps remembering that it was just a dream after all, and all his emotions disappeared, and he turned back into the spirited young man he is now.

But Xiao Ruge knew that this was not just a dream, he was dreaming about his experiences in his previous life.

In the previous life, Mu Gu led his people to Yancheng, occupied the land, declared himself king, and started a rebellion.

At that time, the emperor was seriously ill, Lu Yu ascended the throne, the third prince Mu Huan died in a fight with Mu Bo, and Mu Bo died at the hands of the fourth prince.

As for the "sickly" Fourth Prince, after Lu Yu, the dark horse, ascended the throne, he suddenly recovered from his illness, led an army to occupy Yaozhou, and proclaimed himself king.

Mu Gu and Lu Yu each occupied one side, facing each other from a distance.

The first to be defeated was Mu Gu.

Just as Xiao Ruge said before, Mu Gu still had some attachment to his parents and brothers. When the Fourth Prince wrote to him and asked him to join forces to attack Lu Yu, he agreed.

But who knew that the Fourth Prince had already colluded with Lu Yu, tricking him into sending troops to attack the capital, while secretly attacking Yancheng in turn.

Finally, Mu Gu was defeated under the joint siege of Lu Yu and the Fourth Prince.

Thinking back to his previous life, Mu Gu was able to hold on for three months despite being isolated and helpless, which shows that he has certain talents.

If he had not been determined to die, if he had escaped and taken his time, he would have had a chance to make a comeback sooner or later.

But he didn't. He retained for himself the last bit of dignity, the dignity of being born into a royal family.

Xiao Ruge sighed heavily, reached out and gently hugged Mu Gu.

This was the first time she took the initiative to hug Mu Gu after they were together. This made Mu Gu happy, but he also wondered, could that dream be true?

Otherwise, why would Xiao Ruge hug me after hearing it?

It was a comforting hug, but it made Mu Gu feel increasingly uneasy.

"That dream...was it real?"

It was obviously something Xiao Ruge wouldn't know, but Mu Gu asked subconsciously.

He always felt that Xiao Ruge could give him an answer.

"Whether it's true or not, what does it matter? Aren't you still alive and well now? What's the point of thinking so much?"

Since he can be reborn, it must be to change some things. What's more, the two are tied together now. Even for his own sake, Xiao Ruge will not let anything happen to Mu Gu.

Her eyes gradually became firm. Xiao Ruge gently pushed Mu Gu away, looked at the uneasiness in his eyes, smiled and touched his face.

"Don't worry, it was just a dream. Dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. If you dreamed of dying young, that means you will live a long life!"

"really?"

Mu Gu still looked at her pitifully, and his whole body revealed a signal that he wanted to come and comfort me, like a big dog that had been wronged.

He covered Xiao Ruge's hand and couldn't help rubbing it. He wanted to get into Xiao Ruge's arms, but Xiao Ruge pushed him away by putting her finger on his forehead.

"Don't use this to take advantage of me, or I'll beat you up!"

Seeing that his plan was discovered, Mu Gu straightened up with a smile and glared at her with some resentment.

"Ruge, can't you comfort me? I was really scared by that dream!"

"When did you start having that dream?"

"When I was about seven or eight years old, I had this dream almost every day. Every time I woke up from the nightmare, I would go to my mother, and she would hold me up all night long. It was also at that time that the time my mother spent sleeping gradually became shorter."

Speaking of which, it was all because of him that Concubine Zhao was in poor health.

Seeing the look of self-blame on his face, Xiao Ruge couldn't help but pinch his cheeks and pull them apart.

"What happened in the past is in the past. Why think so much about it? It's just a dream. Everyone has it. Look whose dream came true?"

Come to think of it, it’s just a dream, why should I worry about it?

After thinking it through, Mu Gu pestered Xiao Ruge for a long time before leaving the Xiao family at her urging.

Watching the moon setting in the night sky, Xiao Ruge thought that she couldn't let this guy stay here so late next time.

In the next few days, Mu Gu was busy cleaning up the remnants of Zhangqiu and checking with the Sitiantai for a good day. He was really busy.

After the matter with the remnants of the party came to an end, the Si Tiantai also sent a good day calculated by the Ministry of Astronomy.

The sixth day of October is an auspicious day, suitable for wedding banquets, sending betrothal gifts, and worshiping ancestors.

On the day of the engagement, Mu Gu sent a pair of wild geese, six koi carps, eight kinds of wedding cakes and candies, eighteen kinds of fruits with good meanings, ten boxes of precious fabrics, ten boxes of various gold and silver jewelry, ten boxes of jewelry and jade, and ten boxes of fine leather goods.

Including spices and other things, all in all, they carried more than a hundred boxes to Xiao Ruge.

Since there was no room in the yard, it was placed outside, taking up a large space, which made people jealous just by looking at it.

Although the Xiao family is considered Xiao Ruge's maiden family, it is not her real maiden family after all, so all these betrothal gifts will be taken away by Xiao Ruge when she gets married.

Old Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xu stood together and looked like they were smiling.
