When she opened her eyes, she saw Rong Yan holding a bowl of soup of unknown substance and staring at her blankly. Tang Mumu sat up on the spot reflexively.

"Are you awake?" Rong Yan forced a stiff smile. Tang Mumu awkwardly twitched his lips as well and glanced at the soup in his hand.

"You're not going to poison me to death, are you?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, the smile on Rong Yan's face disappeared completely, and he asked again uncertainly.

"I think you're not going to poison me with some health-preserving soup or something like that, right?"

"What are you thinking about?" Rong Yan suspected that he was hallucinating twice. Seeing that Tang Mumu's eyes were fixed on the bowl in his hand, he suddenly realized and explained quickly: "This is a hangover soup. I was afraid that you would have a headache after waking up. I went to the kitchen to cook it for you. Maybe my cooking skills are not good, so it looks this color... But the effect is the same."

"I thought you wanted to poison me." Tang Mumu joked, glanced at the sobering soup, then looked at Rong Yan, took it from him, and as if he had made some decision, he suddenly poured it into his mouth.

"Drink slowly and don't choke. If it's not enough, I'll make you another bowl."

Originally, she would not be choked, but as soon as Rong Yan finished speaking, Tang Mumu was choked and kept coughing, and Rong Yan was busy patting her back.

"That's enough. Actually, I don't have a headache even if I don't drink. I just drank a few too many cups. I used to secretly drink Hongyi's peach wine in the valley. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Considering that he personally went to the kitchen to cook this hangover soup, Tang Mumu drank it because he didn't want his efforts to go to waste. However, the color didn't look right, and the taste didn't look right either. It was enough to have such bitterness once, there was really no need to force himself to eat it.

"What time is it now? Should we go to the field to gather? If we are late, father will blame us."

"It's only morning. You can go after lunch. There's still time. If you're not feeling well, you can sleep for a while."

Tang Mumu nodded, got up from the bed, and said as she got dressed: "I can't sleep, I want to go out and take a look first."

"Wash yourself first. I'll go and greet the emperor. You can walk around for a while and wait for me to pick you up."

"Give my regards to the Emperor, too."

"Okay." Rong Yan replied with a smile. A moment later after he left, a maid came with water to help Tang Mumu wash up.

"Just put it there, I'll do it myself, you can go out first."

The maid kept her head down and didn't move. Tang Mumu just bent down to wash her face when she felt a chill on her neck. Tang Mumu's eyes immediately became alert and she slowly stood up in coordination with the maid's movements.

The dagger against the neck was obviously extremely sharp. Tang Mumu did not act impulsively. He turned his head to try to see the maid's face clearly, but was forced back by the other party.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you now."

Tang Mumu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. This maid seemed to be well-trained, and if she acted rashly at this moment, she would probably get no benefit.

"I am Princess Rong. Did you recognize the wrong person? We have no grudges against each other. Why do you want to kill me? Put down the dagger. I can help you escape. Once I say this, I will never regret it."

The maid smiled coldly, brought the dagger closer, and said in a cold tone: "Princess Rong? I'm going to kill you."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu frowned and thought quickly. It seemed that she had never offended anyone. She didn't even know this maid, so it was impossible for her to have a grudge against her.

"Do you know Jiang Moqing?"

It can't be that the master had done something evil and killed an entire family, and this person knew that the master was dead now and there was no way to avenge him, so he wanted to kill his disciple for revenge, right?

"Shut up, you don't deserve to mention him."

As the dagger approached, Tang Mumu felt a pain in her neck, but it was obvious that the maid only scratched her lightly and did not really want to kill her.

He didn't want her to die. Realizing this, Tang Mumu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't lose her life, it would be fine.

"Not worthy of mentioning? So you not only know my master, but also have some friendship with him?" After hesitating for a moment, Tang Mumu said, "You think I killed my master, and you do this to avenge him?"

"Isn't it? He is your own master, and you actually murdered him together with outsiders. You are really a good daughter-in-law of the royal family and a good princess of Prince Rong."

The moment the maid approached, Tang Mumu grabbed her wrist with her backhand, and attacked her while turning around. The maid obviously did not expect her move. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed her body shape, stepped back half a step to avoid Tang Mumu's attack, and then attacked Tang Mumu with her backhand. The latter turned to the side and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a bulge behind the maid.

The two of them stopped at the same time. Tang Mumu looked at the maid for a moment and suddenly asked, "Senior Su, is that you?"

The other party sneered when he heard this. He did not show his true face, but admitted his identity without hesitation, "So what if it's me? You should have expected this day to come when you didn't kill me."

Before leaving Xiling that day, she sent someone to the inn to inquire, and was relieved to learn that Su Zijin had left Xiling. Now that she saw that she was safe and sound, the stone that had been weighing on her heart finally fell.

"Senior Su is too bold to break into the royal enclosure alone. If he is willing to give up his life just to kill me, then Senior Su's life is too worthless."

It would be a lie to say that she was not anxious. The entire royal enclosure was filled with father's people. Although she had changed her appearance, she could see it herself, and there would be others who could see it as well. Although father might not know the relationship between her and the master, the fact that a strange woman broke into the royal area was enough to kill her many times.

No more people can die, especially those related to the Master.

"Has the mark of Lianlijutsu disappeared?"

Su Zijin was stunned for a moment when she heard that. Just as she lowered her eyes, Tang Mumu's cold fingers brushed her ears. Su Zijin reacted and quickly took a step back, glaring at the person in front of her with resentment. She actually dared to put the Word Spirit Gu on her.

Su Zijin growled, raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed towards Tang Mumu. The sound of a flute rang in his ears, and the dagger was only an inch away from piercing her heart.

Su Zijin had a blank expression on his face, and the dagger in his hand fell. Tang Mumu caught it before it hit the ground, and pulled Su Zijin to hide behind the curtain beside the bed.

Because Su Zijin was there, Tang Mumu stayed in the tent and did not go out, waiting for Rong Yan to come back.

"You're back?" Seeing the curtain being lifted, Tang Mumu quickly stood up to greet him. However, the person who came in was not Rong Yan, but Prince Shun. His malicious smile made Tang Mumu feel nauseous.

"Go out, this is King Rong's tent."

Tang Mumu didn't want to waste time talking to him, and was even more afraid that he would discover Su Zijin if he stayed here for too long.

Rong Yu laughed even more happily after hearing her words. Tang Mumu's face sank and he clenched his fists. All the bad things that Prince Shun had done in the past came to his mind. Thinking of his master again, he wished he could cut him into pieces.
