Xiao Ruge stood up, straightened her dress, and walked out with Bai Zhi, Xiao Shuang and others.

Before I reached the door, I heard bursts of sighing sounds coming from outside.

"Hey! Look at that deer, it's still alive!"

"That's right. I thought it was dead just now, but then I saw the deer raised its head. Your Majesty is really good at fighting. It's easy to catch dead prey, but it's hard to catch live ones!"

Amid the discussions of the crowd, Xiao Ruge was wearing a long dress with white and green dyed with black bamboo. She had half of her long hair lifted up and tied into a neat bun on top of her head. In the middle of the bun was a pink gemstone hairpin, which was the one given to her by Princess Jianing.

As soon as she came out, the voices of discussion outside gradually died down. Like Mu Gu, everyone looked straight at the girl standing at the gate, who was as tall as a black bamboo.

"The prince asked me to come out, but is there something wrong?"

Facing Mu Gu who did such an excessive thing to her, Xiao Ruge was not angry. Instead, she gave him a faint smile.

Mu Gu was already prepared to be beaten up in the street by Xiao Ruge. After all, he had done such a beastly thing, so it was reasonable for Xiao Ruge to want to kill him.

But he found that Xiao Ruge was no different from usual, which made his heart sink to the bottom.

Rather than seeing a calm Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu would rather see her get angry with him.

Because calmness means unimportance and indifference, he wants Xiao Ruge to care about him. Even if she hates him, it is better than this kind of dull life.

"I...I hunted some prey and sent some to you to eat."

After finishing his words, Mu Gu waved his hand behind him, and immediately someone led the carriage forward a few steps. He stared at Xiao Ruge nervously, fearing that she would reject him.

Xiao Ruge did just as he thought, just standing there without even looking at the car full of prey.

"No reward without merit, the prey that the prince has worked so hard to hunt should be given to the emperor and Concubine Zhao!"

"You are my future princess, so you will have a share of my things. Just accept them. I have already left some with my father and mother!"

In a state of excitement, Mu Gu took two steps up the stairs and stopped just two steps away from Xiao Ruge under her indifferent gaze.

Mu Gu was very tall, and even though he was two steps shorter than Xiao Ruge, there was only a slight difference in their line of sight.

Being looked at like this by Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu was a little overwhelmed, and clenched his hands tightly, "Ruge, I..."

He wanted to say something, but felt that whatever he said would be so pale and powerless.

Xiao Ruge looked at him for a long time, then raised her head and glanced at the crowd outside, and said softly, "Come in and have a cup of tea!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the mansion.

Mu Gu was stunned at first, then he grinned and quickly chased after him. It was obvious that he was in such a good mood that he was about to fly.

Mo Yi took a look and handed the cart of prey for Xiao Ruge directly to Butler Yang, and sent the rest back to the palace.

In the living room, Xiao Ruge sat quietly on a chair. The smile on her face had long disappeared. She looked expressionlessly at Mu Gu who was standing there.

Mu Gu was like a child who had made a mistake, standing there uncomfortably. There were only the two of them in the living room.

"Ruge, are you still angry with me? If you are still angry, then hit me twice!"

He quickly walked up to Xiao Ruge, grabbed her hand and put it on his face.

But Xiao Ruge withdrew her hand and pointed to a chair beside her.

"Please sit down first. I have something to tell you."

Mu Gu didn't know what she wanted to say to him, and felt even more uneasy. He could only sit aside and look at her nervously, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

Before coming in, Xiao Ruge asked everyone to go downstairs. There was no one within ten meters of the entire living room, which made it more convenient to talk.

"Your Majesty, you also know that we were together in the beginning because of our partnership. Until now, I still feel that..."

"Ruge, maybe you think it's a cooperative relationship, but in my eyes it's not. I like you and want to be with you! That's why I..."

Before Xiao Ruge could finish her words, Mu Gu interrupted her hastily. He really wanted to prove to Xiao Ruge that in his heart, Xiao Ruge was the most important person and it was not just a simple partnership.

But when he thought of what happened that day, he felt a little short of breath again. However, he also figured out that Xiao Ruge wanted to distance herself from him.

He had finally managed to get the two of them to a step further, and he wouldn't let this relationship go back to square one!

So he stood up and walked in front of Xiao Ruge, put his hands around her legs, and shamelessly rested his head on her knees.

"Ruge, I know I was wrong that day. You can punish me however you want, but please don't leave me, okay?"

"Ruge, I can't live without you. As long as you can relieve my anger, I can be injured or disabled. I just ask you to keep me alive and don't leave me!"

Hearing that Xiao Ruge didn't answer him, Mu Gu raised his head and looked at her with red eyes. He grabbed Xiao Ruge's hand with one big hand and put it on his face, saying aggrievedly and sadly: "Ruge, please don't leave me, please!"

To be honest, Xiao Ruge didn't expect Mu Gu's feelings for her to be so deep.

Originally, she didn't plan to start a new relationship, but later with Mu Gu's company, she gradually got used to it.

This habit is like suddenly raising a puppy. After a long time, it’s okay to do some intimate things.

Until that incident happened, Xiao Ruge felt that this little dog had grown into a wolf-blue dog that could bite her at any time, which made her a little troubled.

The best way to solve the trouble is to abandon this wolf-blue dog.

As for the bite, it only made her feel uncomfortable for a few days and did not cause any serious harm, so she did not care much about it.

Although she looks like a girl under 20 years old, she is actually a person in her 30s. She has experienced everything she should have experienced and has long been indifferent to some things.

"Mu Gu, why are you so obsessed with me?"

From the moment Mu Gu showed interest in her, Xiao Ruge had been curious about what made him have such deep feelings for her.

She had asked this question before, and Mu Gu's answer was ambiguous at that time. She guessed that it was mostly because she saved him when he was in danger.

But now it seems that there is more to it than that, there must be something else.

Mu Gu was stunned by Xiao Ruge's words. He maintained the ambiguous posture and rested his head on Xiao Ruge's knees again. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Do you remember the dream I told you about before?"

He was talking about the dream in which he was besieged and killed.
