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

Tang Mumu held Ji Chu's hand, and Ji Chu stood up and sat down to look at her at eye level, looking at her with a distressed expression.

"Achu, don't be so nice to me in the future."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You were the only one who treated me as a friend when no one wanted to be friends with me. When Song Jinyu and I got married, you even went to support me. You did much more for me than I did for you. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"

Tang Mumu looked at her and almost revealed the secret hidden in her heart. She should have told Ah Chu the truth about the Ji family's massacre long ago, but the longer she kept it a secret, the more she dared not speak out.

"Maybe you won't want to consider me a friend anymore, and you will all leave me in the end."

In the past, she stayed in Taoyuan Valley all day long. She had no friends except Hongyi and Lanlin, but she didn't feel lonely at all. However, after leaving the valley, she met many people and had relatives and friends. She could no longer accept going back to her previous life. She didn't want to lose her relatives and friends.

Ji Chu was the first friend she made, and in her heart she was closer to her than her own sisters. What she could not accept the most was that one day she and Ji Chu would become strangers.

But the master destroyed all of this personally. It was a revenge for the extermination of the entire family. How could Ah Chu let it go? And what reason did she have to ask Ah Chu to forgive the master?

The mistake made by the master is unforgivable. Even she cannot forgive it, let alone Achu?

"Mumu, don't cry. Linlang is just angry. She's not really angry with you. If you don't want to hear others say bad things about your master in front of you, I won't let them say anything in the future. Please stop crying, okay?"

When Tang Mumu started crying, she wanted to cry too.

Tang Mumu cried and suddenly laughed. She hugged Ji Chu tightly, and her tears and snot rubbed onto her collar.

"Hey, what kind of drama is this? I just went out for a while and I saw such a big drama. You cried so sadly. If I didn't know, I would think you two were competing to see who can shed more tears."

Song Jinyu flashed in front of the two of them. After receiving a big eye roll from Ji Chu, he curled his lips and stood up and continued, "I just wanted to ease the atmosphere because I saw you were crying too sadly. Why are you crying like this? I thought you two were the real men among real men. This is the first time I see you crying so hard. Now I remember that you are also delicate girls."

"We should show that scene to those gossipers in the capital, so that they will continue to say that we didn't marry a pretty girl, but a real man."

Song Jinyu's trick was very useful. Both of them had tears in their eyes, but they laughed out loud at the same time the next moment.

Song Jinyu looked at Rong Yan very proudly, as if he was seeking credit.

"You are really wronged for not being able to marry a beautiful woman with a delicate body and as pretty as a flower. If you regret it now, it's not too late. Go back and let your grandfather take a look at you again. With your family background, you can have any woman you want."

Ji Chu was the first to react. He didn't expect to be seen by them. He felt a little embarrassed and could only vent his anger on Song Jinyu.

"No, please don't mess with me. If my grandfather hears this, he will beat me to death."

This time Tang Mumu finally smiled completely. She took the arm of Rong Yan who had been beside her, curled her lips at him, and told him not to worry.

"Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you had something important to discuss with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Tang Mumu wiped away her tears and turned back into the Princess Rong who could laugh and fight.

"The matter has been settled. The peace talks have been handled properly. We will set off back to Shangjing tomorrow." Rong Yan spoke quickly, as if he was afraid that someone else would answer Tang Mumu before him.

"Didn't they say it would take at least three days? Why are you leaving tomorrow?"

Tang Mumu said this in a daze. Rong Yan didn't say anything else, but Song Jinyu couldn't stay idle. "You are not happy to go home early. You don't know how many good words we said, threatening and coaxing, before Xie Yu got this done. I wanted to leave today. This Xiling Palace is good, but after all, it is someone else's territory. I don't feel at ease living here."

Just as Song Jinyu finished speaking, he was hit by an elbow by the person next to him. He turned around and saw Ji Chu staring at him coldly. Song Jinyu felt aggrieved and unwilling to accept it, but he did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Ji Chu, so he had to shut up in dismay.

Before the hour of You, the group checked into the inn.

Tang Mumu sat in front of the window, with a panoramic view of the people and things on the street. Xie Yu was indeed very capable. The people of Xiling even seemed to recognize the prince more than the former monarch Xie Qixing. Therefore, when the edict of succession appeared and the news that Xie Yu would ascend the throne soon came out, the people even celebrated spontaneously.

The door was pushed open, Tang Mumu turned around and saw that Yi Ran had returned.

After Rong Yan closed the door, he walked straight towards Tang Mumu and handed her the candied haws in his hand. "I bought it when I saw it on the street. Many women on the street like to eat this, and I thought you might like it."

Tang Mumu took the candied haws with a smile, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to return to the capital? Even if you want to go back tomorrow, why do you want to leave the palace tonight?"

Tang Mumu didn't ask because there were so many people around just now, but she felt that Rong Yan and the others still had something to say, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Rong Yan's clenched fist fingers curled, Tang Mumu saw it and became even more certain that he was hiding something from her. Rong Yan would make this gesture when he was panicking and trying to hide his emotions.

"Ayan, you are hiding something from me, you are panicking."

Rong Yan didn't dare to look at Tang Mumu's eyes, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Song Jinyu and my second brother myself. I don't believe them and they won't tell me."

Tang Mumu was about to stand up when Rong Yan pulled him back. Tang Mumu did not urge him and waited for him to speak.

"Jiang Moqing has been arrested and is now in the imperial palace's secret prison."

Tang Mumu became stunned almost instantly, and the circles around his eyes gradually turned red.

"Mu Mu, listen to me first." Rong Yan was most afraid of letting Tang Mu Mu know about this. He knew Tang Mu Mu too well. She would not leave her master alone, but she would not involve any of them in this matter either.

He wanted to save his master, but was afraid that the already tense relationship between the two countries would be further exacerbated.

In the end, you can only be sad and upset by yourself.

"This is not just a private matter, it's also Xiling's national affairs. Your master is a high-ranking official in Xiling. It's not an exaggeration to say that he controls the government. This time he and the princess are both rebels. Even if we want to intervene, we must think long and hard."

"I've already told my second brother Song Jinyu that they will leave for Shangjing tomorrow morning. I won't leave. I'll stay with you. We'll always be able to think of other solutions."

Tang Mumu's tears fell and she lowered her head to look at the candied haws in her hand.

"Did Xie Yu say how to deal with it?"

"He will be executed at the East Gate in three days." Rong Yan said after a moment, "Jiang Moqing has committed many crimes in Xiling, and the people hate him deeply. There will definitely be many people watching the execution, and we can seize the opportunity to rescue him."

Tang Mumu shook her head slightly. This was not a good idea. The best way now was to leave Xiling and return to Shangjing.
