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

As expected at the beginning, the King of Xiling had no intention of negotiating peace. Negotiating peace was just a pretext to summon them into the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, the King of Xiling treated them as distinguished guests and even granted them a separate residence. He also sent palace masters to guard it. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were guarding prisoners.

They were even separated on the grounds of strict separation between men and women. Rong Yan and Rong Lou were arranged in one palace, while Tang Mumu and Linlang were arranged in another palace alone.

Although she was worried, Tang Mumu remained calm. Linlang did not say a word the whole time. It was not until the people who followed them left that Tang Mumu found a chance to speak: "What's wrong with you?"

Linlang immediately came to her senses, turned her head and saw that the person behind her had already left. Then she walked up to Tang Mumu and whispered, "I always feel that this matter is strange. Based on my understanding of the King of Xiling, he should not have the brains to do this and even know to separate us. There must be other conspiracies behind this. It seems that we have to be more careful in the future."

"Who could it be? Could it be Xie Yu?"

Linlang shook her head without hesitation and replied, "It can't be him. Although he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, his goal is the same as ours. If there is someone else behind this, then Xie Yu must be in a bad situation."

"Forget it. Now we are in the open and they are in the dark. Let's wait and see what happens. I am sure that the prince and Xie Yu will not sit still and wait for death. As long as we behave ourselves and don't cause trouble, we will definitely be able to succeed once the peace agreement arrives."

Tang Mumu nodded. She had expected this. Rong Yan was always very careful in his work. There must be other reasons why he did not explain to them. Linlang was right. As long as they did not cause trouble, they would not lose the initiative.

"Since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. After all, we are not being held alone. We can always take care of each other." Tang Mumu simply pretended to be lazy. Anyway, at this point, they had no other choice but to wait.

"Now we can only place our hopes on Lord Song and his men. I hope they can reach Xiling safely."

"Don't worry. Although Song Jinyu seems unreliable on weekdays, he is quite capable when things really need to happen. With him around, the Tan Heshu will surely be delivered to Xiling smoothly."

The two comforted each other. At this time, they could only trust the people around them wholeheartedly. Even though Tang Mumu still had many doubts about Linlang, she knew that Linlang would always stand on their side, and that was enough.

The room they lived in had already been cleaned. After dinner, the two went back to their rooms. They had been nervous these days, and suddenly after entering the palace and settling down, they had no energy to think about other things. They just wanted to have a good rest.

Liangzhu City was still within the territory of the Li Dynasty. After a day's journey, Song Jinyu forced Ji Chu to rest for a night in Liangzhu City. Even if they could bear it, the horses would be too tired to bear it.

Song Jinyu took the lunch box from the inn's waiter and placed the food on the table one by one. Ji Chu had not eaten much on the way and was already too hungry to have any energy. He immediately took the bowl and prepared to eat, but was stopped by Song Jinyu.

He tried a mouthful of rice first, then tried the dishes on the table one by one. After a while, he said, "You can eat. The food is fine."

Ji Chu then understood what he was thinking and his eyes immediately turned red.

"Why don't you eat? Didn't you look starving just now?"

Ji Chu rolled her eyes in anger. Song Jinyu really knew how to make her angry. She was just so moved by Song Jinyu's actions that she wanted to cry, but the next moment, Song Jinyu not only made her successfully hold back her tears, but she also couldn't help but want to beat him up to vent her anger.

"Song Jinyu, you are so annoying, you know that? Sometimes I really want to sew your mouth shut with a needle."

Song Jinyu's playful look made her even more angry. She wished she could change his face. Such a handsome face, it was a waste of God's gift to have it on Song Jinyu.

"You have to eat first to have enough strength to sew it. You're tired and hungry after a whole day. Not only you are starving, but I am too. Eat first."

As Song Jinyu spoke, he put the largest piece of meat into Ji Chu's bowl. Ji Chu really couldn't do anything about him, so he lowered his head and just focused on eating, not arguing with him.

"Could those people we got rid of today be sent by Prince Shun?" Ji Chu asked while eating. The strands of hair on his forehead were a little frizzy due to all the running around today, making him look like a wild cat with its fur bared.

Song Jinyu looked at her and suddenly laughed out loud, not even hearing Ji Chu's words. When Ji Chu glared at him, he quickly retracted his gaze and said with a silly smile, "What did you just say?"

Ji Chu sighed silently. She shouldn't have counted on Song Jinyu. She was really hungry and confused.

"Eat yours, I didn't say anything."

No matter who he belongs to, as long as she can avoid him, she hopes that her future journey will be smoother and that she can deliver the peace letter to the King of Xiling as soon as possible.

Tonight is the fifteenth night of the lunar month and the moon is full. Tang Mumu only dares to take a nap before dark. In another half hour, the centipede poison in Rong Yan's body will begin to attack. She has to find a way to get to Rong Yan. Although the antidote she made can make Rong Yan less painful, she still has to stay by his side and watch him when the poison attacks to feel at ease.

It was already dark, and Tang Mumu changed into dark clothes. She closed the door quietly, glanced at Linlang's room and saw that the door was closed. Then she quietly left the yard.

There were soldiers guarding the palace gate. She had noticed this when she entered the palace during the day. These people were probably not guards. They were all well-trained masters. It seemed that someone in the palace had deliberately made them look like guards in order to conceal their identities.

Tang Mumu leaned against the wall, thinking about how to leave this place silently. The palace where she and Linlang lived was Zhixuan Palace, and Rong Yan and Rong Lou lived in Juyang Palace. If they walked, it would take a cup of tea to get there.

"What do you want to do?"

Linlang lowered her voice, and Tang Mumu withdrew her hand only after she realized who it was. She took Linlang and squatted down against the wall. The shadows concealed their figures very well.

"What are you going to do?" After hiding, Linlang repeated the question.

"Why are you following?" Tang Mumu frowned. She didn't want Linlang to know that Rong Yan was poisoned from the beginning, so she waited until dark to come out quietly. She didn't expect Linlang to follow her.

"I saw you sneak out by yourself, so I followed you here. This is the palace of Xiling, not the capital. Moreover, we are hostages now. Do you want to die by doing this?"

To be honest, Linlang was a little angry when she saw her sneaking away alone. Now they were all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, and no matter who had an accident, it would implicate the others.

"Princess Rong, you should know that the most taboo thing for us at this moment is suspicion of each other. You came out alone, don't you believe me?"

In the darkness, Tang Mumu narrowed his eyes, leaned close to Linlang's ear and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Follow me to Juyang Palace first."
