Wen Yao's question made Xu Rongrong suddenly stunned.

After a long while, she turned around and looked at the little girl beside her: "Huh? Why do you say that?"

After the carriage stabilized, Wen Yao lowered his head and whispered: "My servant has always known that the young lady wants to leave the capital... After resolving the crisis in Yuzhou City earlier, you took advantage of the situation and asked Luo Chen to stay and collect Jiangnan Pharmacy, and Decorating the medicine store... This slave knows that the lady is not just expanding the business, you are preparing for the future. Later, you heard that the Marquis had planted a lot of spies in the capital. You were afraid that Jiangnan's retreat would be discovered by him, so you asked him to Luo Chen stopped, thinking that Miss Lai also wanted to stay away from the Marquis."

Xu Rongrong smiled when he heard this and said, "Is it just based on this?"

"And..." Wen Yao murmured, "You don't allow us to feed the rabbits anymore, and let Aunt Xiao teach the rabbits to find food. She thinks you are a girl and deliberately torment them, but I think you are worried about us leaving the capital. In the end, they won’t be able to survive... After all, the climates in Jiangnan and central Beijing are very different, and you won’t take them away with you.”

Seeing Wen Yao's soft voice when speaking, Xu Rongrong laughed: "Thankfully, I thought I was hiding it, but I didn't expect you to see it."

Wen Yao blushed slightly: "I know that the young lady has always wanted to stay away from the Xu family and the capital... Even though her marriage to the Marquis has been decided, she has not given up the idea, and she is deliberately alienating the Marquis. She wants to be here at all times. Are you ready to leave?"

Xu Rongrong nodded. Indeed, if it weren't for this poisoning crisis, I'm afraid she would be in Jiangnan now.

The grudges in the previous life are almost over. Although Lin Jiaoyue is not dead, there is no possibility of turning over.

And she was not the only one to handle the major affairs of the court.

In her previous life, she risked her own life for Mu Rong, not wanting a good general from the Zhou Dynasty to die due to a villain's plot.

In the next life, Mu Rong and the third prince were at the peak of their power. The incompetent prince and the second prince, who brought disaster to the country and the people, declined early. The fourth prince, who relied on the Lin family in his previous life, was not only weak in arms, but also lost his sacred heart due to scandal.

If such a great situation can return to the chaos of the previous life.

It can only mean that... the Great Zhou Qi has been exhausted.

Therefore, she would have to leave sooner or later, but now...she seemed to have something different inside.

This time, the ice-sealing poison seemed to have sealed her determination as well.

Not only was she hesitant, but Wen Yao could also see it: "...But after you came out of Fan Tower today, I feel that the young lady seems to be different from before."

"Oh? What's different?" Xu Rongrong asked doubtfully.

"Miss, it seems that I can't let go of Mr. Hou." Wen Yao frowned, as if with a hint of teasing, "After meeting Mr. Hou, Miss felt sad after getting in the car. You...are you?" Don’t you want to leave the capital or the Marquis?”

Looking at Wen Yao's probing eyes, Xu Rongrong turned her head and continued to look out the window: "No way, I just feel a little cold."

When she spoke, there was an almost inaudible tremor in her voice, which she couldn't be sure of.

……

Xu Rongrong refused to let Mu Rong see him off, so Mu Rong stayed in the wing of Fan Tower.

Meeting his little girl today made Mu Rong's mood fluctuate. After she left, he immediately meditated in the room and adjusted his breath.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

He looked down at his pale hands.

Now, his body temperature was different from that of ordinary people, which made him dare not act as rashly as usual.

If in the past, after Xu Rongrong said what he said, he would definitely tightly confine the person in his arms and swallow him in his mouth.

But now, he could only watch her leave, calm and self-possessed like a gentleman.

"Master, it's getting late." Hearing the movement in the house, Mu Yi urged outside.

No matter how late it is, he will be more exposed. The Marquis is afraid of the cold these days and cannot stay outside for any longer.

Mu Rong opened the door: "Let's go."

Just after leaving Fan Tower, Master Mu Rong and his servant were about to mount their horses when they heard a low voice: "Master Hou?"

Mu Rong turned around and saw Princess Lingxi's eyes widening, looking at him in surprise.

Seeing Mu Rong stop, Princess Lingxi smiled and said, "It's really the Marquis."

Mu Rong glanced at Princess Lingxi and the maid behind her with a low eyebrow, put away the riding whip: "I have met the Princess."

"The Marquis is so open to outsiders." Princess Lingxi put on a generous and affectionate look, "Why is the Marquis also in Fanlou today? What a coincidence."

Mu Rong remained calm: "Why isn't the palace gate locked under curfew today?"

Princess Lingxi has been living in the palace since she entered the capital.

The palace restrictions are strict, and the palace doors should have been locked at this time, but she is still wandering outside...

Princess Lingxi smiled when Mu Rong asked, "His Majesty the Emperor of Zhou promised me that I can come in and out at any time without being subject to the curfew."

Her voice was clear and clear, conveying His Majesty's "love" for her unabashedly.

She originally wanted to win Mu Rong's attention at once, but she didn't expect that when the other party saw her finish speaking, she got on her horse and said, "In that case, please forgive me, Princess. I have to go back to my hometown first."

Princess Lingxi: "..."

It was finally possible to meet Mu Rong, and there was no such annoying woman as Xu Rongrong beside him. How could she not seize the opportunity?

So she shouted to Mu Rong: "Master Hou!"

"What else does the princess have to do?" Mu Rong reined in the horse's head.

Seeing that the other party had stopped, Princess Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward. She tried her best to put on the most charming expression: "Thankfully, the Marquis reminded me that it is indeed getting late, and I should go back to the palace... But right now My carriage is broken down, I wonder if I could trouble the Marquis to take me back to the palace?"

Mu Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Princess, do you want to ride on this prince's mount?"

"Is the Marquis willing?"

"Can the princess ride a horse?" Mu Rong asked next.

"Yes." Princess Lingxi smiled, "Our Northern Xinjiang women are not as weak as the women of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We can even ride horses and shoot arrows."

"In that case..." Mu Rong glanced at Mu Yi behind him, "Stay your horse."

Princess Lingxi: "..."

Mu Yi: "..." My Lord Marquis has spoken, what else can he say?He could only respond: "Yes."

After saying that, he dismounted and handed the reins to Princess Lingxi's hand.

Princess Lingxi's cheeks turned red. She originally wanted to ride with Mu Rong, but who wants to ride his servant's mount!

She, a woman, His Majesty's personal title as Princess Lingxi, had already made it clear, but he actually...

She turned her head and said angrily: "No need."

"In that case, let's go!" After saying that, Mu Rong rode away without looking back.

Seeing the figures of Master Mu Rong and his servants fading away, Princess Lingxi stamped her feet in annoyance.

But soon, she saw a blush where Mu Rong was standing. She bent down to twirl the blush, and looked at the maid behind her: "The person has left, you don't have to dodge, come and take a look at this place." What is it?"

The maid looked up and it was Herme.She stepped forward and sniffed Princess Lingxi's fingertips. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "This... seems to be a low-quality powder. When a woman uses it on her cheeks, it will float and fall off after a while."

Princess Lingxi frowned slightly, did she catch Weiyuan Hou having an affair?
