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

Although the conversation with Mu Rong was just a casual chat, Xu Rongrong was also concerned about the changes between the emperor and the empress.

Although after the prince was deposed, the queen not only did not cry, but went to the study to plead guilty. She bluntly said that it was her poor teaching that caused the prince to commit such a serious crime that harmed the country and the people, and begged Your Majesty to severely punish the mother and son.

His Majesty was so moved by the Queen's self-reproach that he not only did not issue an order, but instead stayed in the Queen's palace one after another, and used practical actions to frighten the palace for the Queen.

But...behind this seemingly harmonious relationship between emperor and empress, Xu Rongrong felt a different chill from her previous life.

The fate of the prince in his previous life was even worse - although he was deposed a few years later, the crimes he was involved in in his previous life were more serious. In addition, at that time, the fourth prince had replaced the second prince and occupied half of the court. The fourth prince's party secretly promoted Under the circumstances, the prince was deposed and directly sentenced to death.

Xu Rongrong remembered that during that time, the princeling party was in turmoil, and the whole capital was panicked. The queen even took off her hairpin to plead guilty, and knelt in front of the imperial study for several days and nights, just begging your majesty to leave a way for the deposed prince to survive.

But in the end, the Holy Will was not restored.

Shortly after the death of the deposed prince, the queen died of illness in the palace. Xu Rongrong was the only female family member in the back house of the Hou Mansion at that time, so she had to go to the palace to attend the funeral according to etiquette.

She could never forget the haggard and mournful look on the emperor's face during the funeral ceremony.

He held the queen's coffin and cried sadly: "Wenfei, I am sorry for you! If there is an afterlife, let me and you be an ordinary couple."

Everyone present was moved by the sad look on his face, and Xu Rongrong was also moved by emotion... Even the emperor and empress, who were the head of a country, could not help but love each other.

But in this life, Wu Tianao still left a life behind.

Although he was still deposed as the crown prince, he still had the title and enshrinement of Prince An after all. Moreover, Anzhou was only half a month away from the capital, which was not that far away. It was built near the sea and the people's livelihood was prosperous, which was already excellent. Gone somewhere.

For the Queen, it was also a rare mercy. She originally thought that the Queen would be grateful for it, but seeing the handling of Princess Lingxi and Hairi Li this time, it showed that she would no longer care about His Majesty's face.

On the surface, he is conscientious and well-arranged, but in fact, he has buried various hidden dangers...

Is this still the gentle woman who considers everything for the emperor and is obedient by his side?

Xu Rongrong felt that she had lived two lives but had never seen the queen clearly.

Mu Rong sat aside silently, looking at the girl in front of him with her brows furrowed for a while, and then relaxed again, and smiled slightly: "What is Rongrong thinking about? She is so focused."

Xu Rongrong was asked abruptly, then came back to her senses and said with emotion: "I was just thinking about the friendship between the emperor and the empress. How true or false is it? The empress is a mother to the world. She has always done her best in the things that your majesty has ordered, but now she …”

Seeing her sighing like this, Mu Rong smiled and said, "Does Rong Rong think people's hearts are unpredictable?"

Xu Rongrong didn't answer, just sighed deeply.

The little girl's cute look made Mu Rong even more patient: "Your Majesty is the emperor of the day, even if the outside world comments that he treats the queen attentively, there are more than ten concubines in the harem, not to mention the birth mother of the fourth prince. She's just a palace maid... If she wants to be favored by the emperor, how easy is it?"

"Furthermore, he has seven sons and one daughter, and even the prince is just one of his many children. As for the queen, the prince is her only thought... Now that her thoughts are gone, she doesn't care. What's the use of trying harder? It's just making wedding clothes for others in the future."

Xu Rongrong lowered her eyes and said nothing. She naturally understood what Mu Rong said, but the collapse of her once firm belief in love made her feel a little sour for a moment.

Seeing this, Mu Rong picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for her. With a little force on his fingertips, the teacup was pushed to the girl: "This is other people's business and has nothing to do with you or me. Rong Rong should still read the account book with peace of mind. Well, from now on, whether the Hou Mansion enjoys spicy food or plain porridge and pickles, I’m afraid it will all depend on you, the mistress.”

Suddenly being teased by the other party, Xu Rongrong's cheeks instantly turned red. For a moment, she just felt shy and less depressed.

She wanted to glare at him fiercely, but the next moment she frowned: "The Marquis's complexion seems... not very good today."

I didn't notice it before, but now that I looked carefully, I could clearly feel that the man in front of me was a whole lot thinner than before.

And the spirit seems to be far less than before, and they seem to be a perfect match.

Mu Rong was startled when he heard this: She still saw it...

In the past four days, he used his internal energy to help her sleep in Zhuxiang Yayuan almost every night. During the day, he was busy with official duties and could not adjust his breathing in time. His overall condition was naturally not good because he was seriously overdrawn.

But he didn't want his little girl to worry, so he wrote lightly: "Your Majesty has left the affairs of Northern Xinjiang to me. I have been busy these days and I didn't sleep well."

After saying that, he added: "It will be good to rest for a night or two."

Seeing that he spoke easily and confidently, Xu Rongrong naturally had no doubts about him and stopped asking any more questions.

Just a moment later, he still whispered: "Master Hou still needs to take more care of his own body."

The voice was very small, but it made Mu Rong feel warm in his heart.

His little girl starts to feel sorry for him?

So he gave Xu Rongrong a deep look with a smile: "Okay! It's all up to Rongrong."

Xu Rongrong felt uncomfortable looking at him with his scorching eyes, and he lowered his head hastily, wishing he could bury his whole head in the account book.

……

After spending half a day in Zhuxiang Yayuan, Mu Rong returned to the Hou Mansion after dinner.

Mu Yi was waiting in front of the door. When he saw his Lord Marquis returning, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There is news from the northern border. It is said that His Highness has made arrangements for the reopening of border trade and is leaving for Beijing."

Mu Rong handed the reins and riding whip to the servants on the side, and while stepping into the gate of the Hou Mansion, he ordered: "Let Mu Wu take people to meet him, and it is necessary to ensure that the third brother returns to the capital safely. Your Majesty has many princes, but there is none available at the moment. Third brother will definitely be rewarded this time, I'm afraid there are many people in the capital who don't want him to come back."

"My subordinate understands," Mu Yi responded, "I will arrange for Mu Wu to take the people out early tomorrow morning."

Mu Rong continued: "After Mu Wu leaves the capital, let Mu Ai personally monitor the third prince's mansion to ensure the safety of the mansion."

"Yes."

"In addition, the day after tomorrow will be Princess Lingxi and Ji Li, and the three emperors' concubines will definitely come to the palace to observe the ceremony. You can arrange for a few skilled women to dress up as maids to protect the safety of the three emperors' concubines in the palace."

"My subordinates have already made arrangements for this matter. Two of the most skilled women in the Mu family's army have been recruited. They entered the third prince's residence the day before yesterday." Mu Yi replied.

Mu Rong nodded, and then asked: "Is there any news from Chuhe?"
