After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Tang Mumu was unable to say it in the end. As long as she saw the smile on Ji Chu's face, she didn't dare to tell her the truth. She was afraid that after she told the truth, it would give Ji Chu hope, but in the end what would be waiting for her would be despair.

Emperor An would not care about the innocence of a general of the guards, nor would he care about the lives of the people in the Ji family who died unjustly, and he would not care whether Ji Chu wanted to overturn the verdict. Based on her understanding of Emperor An, once there was any sign of trouble, he would get rid of Ji Chu without hesitation in order to maintain his reputation in the court.

Anyway, Ji Chu is the only one left in the Ji Mansion, so it doesn't matter if one more person dies. It's just getting rid of a little girl who is insignificant to him to preserve his reputation and achievements. Tang Mumu knows what Emperor An will choose without thinking.

In the face of the ambitions of those in power, human life is as insignificant as straw dogs.

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Mumu hadn't spoken a word along the way, so Rong Yan took the initiative to ask.

Tang Mumu came back to her senses, climbed onto Rong Yan's arm, and moved towards him, getting closer to him. Rong Yan really enjoyed her little gesture, and the curve of his mouth grew wider and wider.

"I'm thinking about Halloween." Tang Mumu did not hide it. Ever since she knew what her master had done before, she has made up her mind to protect innocent people. The master can take revenge, but the premise is that he can only harm guilty people.

"What's wrong?" Rong Yan almost subconsciously became nervous. During this period of time, they had tacitly agreed not to mention Halloween again. Even though they knew that they might have to face swords and sabers and difficult decisions on that day, they had never mentioned it in front of each other.

Whenever Tang Mumu mentioned it, Rong Yan always felt uneasy.

"It's nothing. I was just thinking about what birthday gift to give His Majesty. After all, it's his birthday, and I'm afraid he won't like the gift we prepare."

"The housekeeper will take care of the birthday gift, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Ah."

In the next two days, every time Rong Yan came back from court and went to Nong Yue Hall, he couldn't find anyone. Every time, Jin Se would tell him that the princess was in the pharmacy. When they got to the pharmacy, Tang Mumu would just casually say a few words to him and then say that she was busy. After two days, at noon on the third day, Tang Mumu finally came out to have dinner with him.

"What have you been busy with in the pharmacy these past two days? I heard from Jinse that you didn't even eat properly."

As Rong Yan spoke, he put food into Tang Mumu's bowl. Tang Mumu was really hungry, so she picked up the bowl and started eating in big mouthfuls. Rong Yan was afraid that she would choke, so he was busy pouring water for her.

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

"I haven't eaten well in the past two days. I miss my roast goose so much." Tang Mumu took a bite of the meat and closed his eyes with great satisfaction.

Rong Yan found it funny to see her eating, so he simply stopped and watched her eat. Tang Mumu didn't need to pick up any food, it was enough for her to just eat what Rong Yan picked for her.

"Ah, after eating and drinking enough, I, Tang Mumu, am alive again." Tang Mumu slumped back in the chair and rubbed his stomach with satisfaction.

"You just watched me eat. Aren't you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry. I feel full just by watching you eat."

"So you're disgusted by the fact that I eat too much?" Tang Mumu suddenly became playful and deliberately brought up the past. "When we first entered the palace, I ate two of your cakes and drank a cup of your tea, and you scolded me. You even asked me how I could have the nerve to eat food from your Rong Palace. Your Highness, do you still remember?"

Rong Yan paused while pouring the water, and then forced himself to remain calm, "It's been a long time since this happened. I don't remember it anymore. Besides, didn't I ask you to pay in the end?"

Tang Mumu took the tea handed over by Rong Yan, shook her head and said, "You were so stingy back then. You were a prince and you couldn't even bear to give me two pieces of cake. If I hadn't been thick-skinned, I would have been unable to stay in your Rong Palace."

Rong Yan twitched his lips and continued her words with a smile: "So you know you are thick-skinned?"

"I am very self-aware. I am not like some people who have a bad temper and don't let others say anything. You said you wanted to kill me at the beginning. If it weren't for my great ability, I might have been killed by you a long time ago."

Rong Yan was indeed guilty of this matter. He transferred his hatred for Tang Mumu in his previous life onto her, and at first he really wanted to kill her.

"I was wrong before. I apologize to you. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me, Princess."

Tang Mumu nodded with satisfaction, and she felt much better after a little joke. "Since your attitude is so sincere, I will forgive you."

Seeing that the happiness on her face didn't seem fake, Rong Yan also smiled, "Are you happy?"

Hearing this, Tang Mumu breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, too many things have happened in this period of time. I am indeed in a bad mood. I also figured it out while I was busy in the pharmacy these two days. No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together. Since it will happen in the future, why worry about it in advance? Life is so short, of course we should enjoy it while we can."

"No matter what happens in the future, we will face it together and no one will abandon anyone." Rong Yan repeated what Tang Mumu had just said. In fact, he was the one who was afraid of being abandoned.

"Okay, no one will leave anyone behind." Tang Mumu reached out to pull Rong Yan's sleeve and smiled at him. Rong Yan's face remained expressionless, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not hide his emotions at the moment.

On the day of the All Saints' Birthday, Tang Mumu changed into court clothes with the help of Jinse early in the morning, and then went to Zhujingxuan, where she saw that Rong Yan had also changed. In this situation, Tang Mumu couldn't help but think of the time when they went to the palace together to express their gratitude, and they were dressed exactly the same as today.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Tang Mumu, Rong Yan walked towards her. The servant who was hanging the pendant for him had to stop what he was doing. Tang Mumu turned around and looked at him, then took the white jade ring from the servant's hand with a smile and reached out to his waist.

Rong Yan knew what she meant and approached her happily. Tang Mumu hung the jade pendant on him personally.

"My husband is truly a unique man, there is no other like him in the world. With such a beautiful face, I don't know how many girls he will bring trouble to in the future."

Rong Yan grabbed Tang Mumu's restless little hand. It was only later that he realized that a woman's hands could be so small and soft. His big palm completely wrapped around her two hands. The touch was cold, and Rong Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.

"You have such cold hands and yet you still have the mood to joke." But he couldn't bear to really blame her, so he ordered someone to bring the prepared heater and put it in her hands. He then took the silver-white fox fur handed to her by the servant and put it on her. He was not satisfied until he had wrapped her up completely so that no wind could get through.

"I'm almost wrapped up like a dumpling. This court dress is heavier than ordinary clothes. Now with this fox fur, I have trouble walking."

"We can take a carriage to the palace. We don't have to walk too far. It's cold, so it's better to wear something warm."

Rong Yan took Tang Mumu out of the house. The carriage was already ready and waiting outside the house. There was a charcoal stove inside the carriage, and on the small table were several of her favorite pastries, and there was hot water in the soup pot.

"This treatment is really a far cry from the last time I entered the palace. At that time, I had to be sneaky even to eat a piece of dessert, and I had to wait for an opportunity to drink your tea. Today's decorations are a bit unaccustomed to me."

Tang Mumu sat down on the cushion, and Rong Yan found a seat beside her and sat down.
