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

Tang Mumu had just taken the medicine and had not yet set out when she heard the housekeeper come to report that there was a woman outside, saying that she was the concubine of the general's mansion, who came to look for the princess.

"Aunt? Could it be mother? I'll go and see." After Tang Mumu said that, she ran out. The housekeeper and Jinse chased after her breathlessly. If she fell or got hurt, they would be in big trouble when the prince came back.

"Mom? Is it really you?"

When Tang Mumu saw Liu, she was full of surprise. She didn't expect that she would come to the palace.

"Mumu, how are you? The eldest lady is sick. My eldest lady said that you also fell into the water. What happened? How are you? Did you catch a cold?"

As Liu spoke, she pulled her up and looked her over, her face full of anxiety. Tang Mumu saw it and felt extremely sad. If she knew that the person she was concerned about was not her precious daughter Mumu, how sad would she be? If she knew that the daughter she had always loved even cursed her to death, how sad would she be?

"Mumu, please say something. What happened?"

Tang Mumu put away the disappointment on her face and forced herself to smile, "Mom, I'm fine. Look, I'm fine. It's cold outside. Let's go in first."

Liu knew her daughter was fine, so she said she wanted to leave. Tang Mumu persuaded her to stay and took her to see the yard where she lived. Liu nodded repeatedly and said "OK, OK, OK" all the way.

"Mom, this is plum-scented peach cake, that is red plum-scented cake, and this is plum blossom cake. These are all what I like to eat. You can try them too. They are delicious."

Tang Mumu pushed all the cakes on the table towards Liu and introduced the name and taste of each cake to her. Her little face was bright and smiling, and Liu's eyes became red as she watched.

"What's wrong with you, mother? Don't you like these? If you don't like them, I'll let Jinse find someone else."

"No, no, mother is just happy to see you living so well in the palace."

Tang Mumu was skeptical, and coaxed Liu to eat some of each cake. Liu only stayed for a while before clamoring to go back to the general's mansion. Tang Mumu asked her to stay for dinner but she refused. Tang Mumu had no choice but to pick out some cakes that she thought were delicious for her to take back. Then she asked someone to go to the warehouse to get some precious medicinal materials for her to take back to Tang Qingzhi. She also prepared some medicines for her to regulate her body, which she had asked the palace doctor to prepare before, and they were specially for Liu.

Since Liu had taken the medicine back, there was no need for her to go to the general's mansion again. She felt bored staying in the prince's mansion, so she was eager to go to the Song mansion to find Achu. However, she thought that they were newlyweds and she didn't want to disturb them. After a long time, she calculated the time and thought that Rong Yan should be leaving the court, so she planned to wait for him at the door when he returned home.

"Princess, why don't we go back to the house and wait? You've just gotten better, and it's so cold, don't freeze again."

Tang Mumu tightened the heater in her hand and said, "It's uncomfortable to stay inside. Let's wait here. I always feel uncomfortable and always feel that something is going to happen."

It was past noon and Rong Yan had not returned home yet. Tang Mumu didn't even have lunch. Ever since Liu left, she had been feeling uneasy. Now Rong Yan had not returned from court, and thinking about what had happened in the Song Mansion yesterday, Tang Mumu became more and more flustered.

"Princess, you haven't had lunch yet. Can you eat something? Your health is the most important thing. The prince may have been delayed by something."

Tang Mumu forced herself to calm down and said to Jinse, "Tell the housekeeper to prepare the horses. I'm going to the Song Mansion to look for Captain Song. Remember, it's the horses, not the carriages."

Now she could only go to find General Song. She had to know what happened in the court today. When the servant led the horse over, Tang Mumu saw the carriage of Prince Rong's mansion from afar and hurried over.

"Your Highness."

Hearing the voice, Rong Yan lifted the carriage curtain and stuck his head out after a while, "Why are you here? My father asked me some more questions today, so I stayed in the palace for a while longer. It's my fault. I should have sent someone to inform you first."

Tang Mumu immediately noticed something was wrong. In the past, Rong Yan did not often take a carriage after court, but today he was acting out of character. Looking closely at his expression, there seemed to be something wrong as well.

"Did the emperor punish you? Because of what happened with Jiang Yu yesterday?"

Rong Yan smiled helplessly and had to confess honestly, "Father was also forced to do this. He just had someone beat me up a few times. Father also let me rest in the mansion for half a month. I can accompany you for this half month. Are you happy?"

Tang Mumu was immediately unhappy when she heard this. Thinking about it was one thing, and actually doing it was another. Father was so indiscriminate, wasn't he the style of a tyrant? Tang Mumu endured it and didn't curse outside, and helped Rong Yan back to Zhujingxuan.

He was wearing the same clothes as last time. Only after he took off his clothes could you see how serious the injury was.

"Father is biased and can't tell right from wrong. You are a prince, so what if you are looking for trouble and pushing Jiang Yu into trouble? What's more, Jiang Yu was the one who did the wrong thing first. My elder sister is still lying in bed with a high fever. Her grandfather will not let it go. Didn't my father say a word?"

"It's always like this. It's never your fault. Why does he always punish you? Master is right. Father is a bad old man who confuses right and wrong. You beat up so many bad guys for him and shed so much blood to protect his country. Why does he beat you whenever he wants? And he hit you so hard. The marks from the last whip haven't even healed yet, and now you have new wounds."

Tang Mumu was angry and anxious. She wanted to go to the emperor and have a good argument with him. She always made Rong Yan unhappy. Was it just because he didn't know how to disobey?

"Alright, alright. If your words get to the palace, your head will be in danger. I won't listen to you even if you dare to say it."

"You're still speaking for him? People say that once the wound heals, the pain is forgotten. Your scars haven't even healed yet, have you forgotten how painful it was last time?"

Tang Mumu really wanted to knock on his wooden fish head. Although he said that, his hands never stopped moving.

"In fact, today we can't blame Father entirely. Prime Minister Jiang is a veteran of two dynasties and assisted Father in ascending the throne. The Jiang family is full of loyal and brave people. Prime Minister Jiang has spoken up. If Father doesn't punish him severely, Prime Minister Jiang will not let it go."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu became even more angry. "I told you not to be impulsive yesterday. You clearly knew the consequences of doing that yesterday. Why did you still do that? I was just lying in the water. It's nothing. Why couldn't you keep your temper yesterday?"

Rong Yan suddenly pulled the corner of his lips, lay on the couch, tilted his head to the other side, and whispered: "I just want to see what the consequences will be."

He thought that between Prince Shun and himself, his father would choose Prince Shun, but between himself and an outsider, he would be the chosen one. However, it turned out that no matter who he was with, he would not be the chosen one.
