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

After sending the servants away, Rong Yan walked to the bed and sat down. Tang Mumu sat in the corner with her knees hugged. When she saw Rong Yan, her eyes lit up, but then dimmed again after a moment.

"I met Master today."

The room was filled with silence, and it was Tang Mumu who broke the silence first. After saying this, she stared at Rong Yan. She wanted to hear Rong Yan tell her in person that he had never asked anyone to attack the master, and that the injuries on the master had nothing to do with him.

Tang Mumu told herself in her heart that as long as he said it, she would believe him.

After waiting for a long while, Rong Yan still said nothing. When he reached out to pull her, Tang Mumu dodged.

"Mu Mu." Rong Yan seemed helpless and looked at Tang Mu Mu with a frown.

"Does my master's injury have anything to do with you?"

Tang Mumu simply asked directly. Her mother told her that the most taboo thing between husband and wife is to keep things secret. She could trust Rong Yan wholeheartedly, but the prerequisite was that Rong Yan did not lie to her.

Rong Yan pursed his lips tightly, and just when Tang Mumu wanted to speak again, he whispered, "Father's poisoning was planned by Jiang Moqing. He used Fourth Brother to poison Father, and deliberately left evidence. His purpose was to turn Father against Fourth Brother and his son."

"My master said that he didn't do this. You planned it. The emperor favors Prince Shun, and you want to take this opportunity to let the emperor punish Prince Shun. Even if the emperor doesn't kill him, you can still achieve your goal of alienating them."

"Do you believe it?" Rong Yan suddenly asked.

Tang Mumu was stunned. She had just told herself that she would believe whatever Rong Yan said, but when Rong Yan asked this question, she knew clearly that she was hesitating.

She knew that Rong Yan resented the emperor's favoritism towards Prince Shun, and she also knew that Rong Yan had actually wanted to kill Prince Shun a long time ago, but had never waited for the right opportunity.

Before Tang Mumu could answer, Rong Yan continued, "I didn't expect your master to come to Prince Shun's Mansion in front of everyone. He...he wanted to announce the relationship between you two."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu shrank back. Rong Yan held her in his arms and Tang Mumu did not struggle to break free.

"Father has already known his true identity. He will get rid of your master at all costs. He will not let anyone who is related to Jiang Moqing go."

If the emperor knew Tang Mumu's true identity, not to mention that pretending to be the second lady and marrying into Prince Rong's mansion is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, the emperor would not let her go just because she is Jiang Moqing's apprentice.

When at Prince Shun's Mansion, Rong Yan was thinking about not letting Jiang Moqing reveal Tang Mumu's true identity. Even if he really wanted to kill Jiang Moqing, he couldn't let him have the chance to speak.

Tang Mumu closed her eyes, and the tears that rolled down her eyes dripped onto Rong Yan's hand, causing her pain like a burning fire.

"Your Highness, I am a little confused."

Tang Mumu no longer knew who to believe. The words her master had said during the day were still echoing in her ears. Her master had loved her since she was a child, and even for an enemy like Rong Yan, he was still able to take out the antidote for the centipede poison for her. She couldn't believe that her master would disregard her own situation or even her own life as Rong Yan said.

If the truth were to be made public, she would no longer have a place to stand in Prince Rong's mansion, and her father would get rid of her at all costs. She didn't believe that her master would treat her life as a joke.

Rong Yan held Tang Mumu's hands even tighter, wishing he could rub her into his bones and blood.

"Mu Mu, can you stay by my side forever? Leave everything else to me."

After a while, Tang Mumu asked softly: "What did you do? Did you kill my master? And then kill my sister?"

Rong Yan's eyes darkened, but Tang Mumu didn't notice.

"Rong Yan, if you really kill my master and sister, we will become enemies."

Her life was given by her master, and she was guilty of being married off in the first place. If Rong Yan really attacked her master and sister because of her, she didn't know what else she and Rong Yan could do except be enemies.

Rong Yan let the man go, forced a smile at Tang Mumu, and coaxed her in a gentle voice: "It's getting late. You've been in the snow for too long tonight. Take your medicine and have a good sleep, otherwise you'll catch a cold again tomorrow."

"Don't think about anything tonight, just have a good sleep."

Tang Mumu's eyes were flushed. Rong Yan couldn't bear to look at her any longer, so he quickly closed the door and left.

Tang Mumu opened his eyes, not feeling sleepy at all. He didn't understand what his master was trying to do. Was all this just to create a rift between himself and Rong Yan?

The next day, when Tang Mumu opened the door, the remaining snow on the ground had not been swept away yet. The north wind blew the snow grains towards her cheeks. Tang Mumu wrapped her fox fur tightly. Jinse saw her stand up and hurried to greet her.

"Princess, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to call a doctor to see you?"

"No, I'm not feeling unwell."

Jinse dropped the work in her hands, ran to Tang Mumu's side, and tried several times before speaking: "Princess, did you and the prince have a quarrel?"

"Why do you ask?"

"You and the prince were not at home last night. One moment you looked for the prince, and the next moment he looked for you. When the prince carried you back to the mansion, you two were almost frozen into ice sculptures."

"And the prince didn't stay in Nong Yue Hall last night."

Tang Mumu sighed. Jinse was really a girl with nothing to do all day long. It was really enviable.

"You think too much. The prince and I didn't have a quarrel. Just some things happened last night. Now the matter has been resolved. Don't worry."

Jinse finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to chat with Tang Mumu for a while before she remembered that she had something important to say.

"It's all my fault. I have something important to say, Princess. The people in the General's Mansion sent a servant early in the morning to say that Aunt Liu was sick, but the doctor couldn't diagnose what the disease was. Even the eldest lady said..."

"What?" Tang Mumu became anxious when he heard that Liu was sick.

"The eldest lady asked the princess to go back and see Aunt Liu for the last time."

Before Jinse could react, her princess had already rushed out. Jinse slapped herself on the mouth and hurriedly followed.

After returning to the general's mansion, Tang Mumu went straight to Liu's yard. There were two more maids serving her in the yard. Liu was indeed lying on the bed, but her face did not look like she was sick. Instead, she looked a little rosier than before.

Tang Mumu sat down beside the bed, and Jinse led the two maids downstairs, leaving them space.

Tang Mumu took Liu's wrist pulse, but there was nothing abnormal about Liu's pulse.

"Mumu, is that you? Are you back?"

When she opened her eyes and saw her daughter, Liu struggled to get up, and Tang Mumu helped her sit up straight.

"Mom, how are you feeling? My elder sister said you were sick and asked me to come back to see you."

"Did you hear it wrong? Mom is in good health and not sick." Liu also looked confused. Tang Mumu nodded and said okay.

"What's going on with those two maids?"

Liu smiled, her tone softening a little, "Your father saw that there was no one to serve in the courtyard, so he specially assigned them to serve."

Tang Mumu frowned. When did her father become so kind?
