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

Tang Qingzhi stopped and looked up at a jackdaw flying across the sky. Tang Mumu also stopped and saw a smile on Tang Qingzhi's lips. But she always felt that although her elder sister looked like she was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

"You are not her, so you don't have to apologize for her."

Tang Mumu looked at her and clearly felt that she should say something to comfort her at this moment, but she didn't know what words were appropriate. Tang Qingzhi always gave her a very strange feeling. Every time they came into contact with her, Tang Qingzhi seemed like a broken person.

"Big sister, how about I call you like this from now on?"

Tang Qingzhi lowered her eyes and looked at Tang Mumu, and replied with a sincere smile: "Okay, the brothers and sisters in the mansion also call me that, you are the same as them."

Tang Mumu was touched. Tang Qingzhi's words undoubtedly acknowledged her identity. She, like other brothers and sisters in the mansion, was also a member of the general's mansion.

"Mom always said that my elder sister was a very good person. I didn't believe it before and always kept a proper distance from her. Now I know that what my mother said was right. My elder sister is not only a good person, but also a very warm person."

"This is the first time someone has commented on me like this."

Tang Qingzhi smiled bitterly. She was the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion and was trained as a prince's consort by her family since she was a child. From childhood to adulthood, her every word and action seemed to be trapped in a framework that she could never escape from. She followed the rules and was a lady from a noble family. Sometimes she felt that she was about to be suffocated by this shackle.

"Mu Mu, go, the farther the better. You should be as free as a bird, and not be bound by the shackles of power. Your father has been clinging to power all his life. He let you marry into Prince Rong's mansion because he knew that His Majesty would not use Prince Rong. He is a god of war, but there is not only one god of war. His existence is just a tool for His Majesty to consolidate his rule."

"Since ancient times, those who are more powerful than their masters will never have a good ending. Prince Rong is in danger. Although Prince Shun has temporarily lost power, he still has the power of the Jiang Guo Mansion behind him. Now he has already made up his mind to kill you. With internal and external troubles, you should not stay. What's more, you are not the one who should bear all this."

Seeing that she not only didn't say anything but also kept grinning foolishly, Tang Qingzhi really wanted to go up and hit her on the head a few times.

"What are you laughing at? I'm not kidding you. Prince Shun is really a devil who kills people without blinking an eye."

"I know." She had understood Shun Wang's methods when she went to Lingnan, "But I'm not a fool. I won't fight back if Shun Wang comes to kill me. Don't worry, I will be fine. Shun Wang can't touch me."

Tang Qingzhi seemed angry, and snorted coldly, "Do you really think that Prince Rong will turn against Prince Shun for you? The royal family is in a high position, and they are the same in their bones. Maybe you like Prince Rong now, but can you guarantee that he will never change his mind?"

"Mu Mu, listen to my advice. Men are unreliable. The only person you can trust is yourself."

"You can believe it too." Tang Mumu said without hesitation.

Almost for a moment, Tang Qingzhi was stunned.

"Now I know that my elder sister is truly kind to me. I have one more person I can trust."

In fact, Tang Qingzhi was not used to being nice to others, nor did she like others being nice to her. At first, she just wanted to repay the favor she owed to Tang Mumu when she fell into the water last time.

"I can't be trusted. Don't say such things to me in the future. That's all I have to say. It's up to you to decide how to choose. I won't interfere with you in the future. You can do whatever you want."

After saying that, Tang Qingzhi didn't wait for her and went back along the same route. Tang Mumu wanted to continue chasing her, but when she saw Rong Yan waiting for her on the opposite side and saw Mo Yi catching up with Tang Qingzhi, she felt relieved and ignored her and turned to walk towards where Rong Yan was.

"Have you seen anyone?" Rong Yan gathered the fox fur for Tang Mumu and put on the brim of her hat for her. Then he walked slowly towards the palace with her side by side.

"Yeah." Tang Mumu answered softly, not wanting to say more.

"Did Tang Qingzhi know?" Rong Yan asked again. He was not sure whether Tang Qingzhi could be trusted. If Tang Mumu had not insisted, he would not want them to have any contact with each other.

"I only know that I am not the second sister, and I don't know the past of Master and Father."

"It's better for her not to know."

After a moment, Tang Mumu stopped and looked at Rong Yan, and asked what he had been holding back for a long time, "If my master really takes action, what will you do?"

She had wanted to ask for a long time, but had never dared to ask.

Rong Yan looked at her for a moment and lowered his eyes.

"Mumu, I don't want to lie to you. Father can't get into trouble right now. The Li Dynasty still needs him. No matter what heinous things he did in the past, it is undeniable that he is a good monarch."

Tang Mumu nodded. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard him say it with his own ears. That was his father, and he would certainly not let anything happen to him.

"Your Highness, I don't want to lie to you. My master is the person closest to me, and I won't let anything happen to him. I don't know what state affairs are, and I don't understand the overall situation. I only have one master, and if he is determined to do something at the risk of his life, I will help him do it if I can't stop him."

"Then will you stop it?" Rong Yan's eyes never left Tang Mumu.

He originally thought that after that snowy night, Tang Mumu would break up with him, but she didn't, so he didn't want to lie to her anymore.

"I do not know."

Tang Mumu quickened her pace, her heart was in a mess. Too many things had happened during this period of time, and she was completely at a loss for what to do.

Her hand was suddenly held in someone's palm. Tang Mumu didn't mind Rong Yan's approach. Rong Yan was also innocent. She would not vent her anger on him. At least before things got to the point of no return, they were still a close couple.

"The birthday celebration will be on the seventh day of next month. At that time, the court officials will celebrate the birthday of the emperor together. There will be many people in the palace."

Tang Mumu thought for a moment and then asked directly, "Do you mean that Master will take this opportunity to enter the palace and assassinate me?"

Rong Yan did not hide anything from her and told her everything he knew, "Father has already known that there were still survivors of the Nanman Gu Tribe. Father is suspicious by nature and never allows tigers and wolves to sleep soundly around him. He will set up a net on the day of the Wanshou Saint Festival. There are many masters in the palace, and your master will not get any benefits."

Tang Mumu pursed her lips and said uncertainly: "My master will not act rashly."

"Okay, we'll act accordingly."

Tang Mumu nodded, feeling more and more worried. She could no longer guess what her master was thinking, and she didn't know how eager he was to seek revenge. If things really got out of control, what would be the best thing for her to do?

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Looking at Rong Yan's gentle face, Tang Mumu felt a little relieved.

"I think I scared Ah Chu this time. I plan to go to the Ji Mansion tomorrow to see how she is doing there."

"I'll pick you up after court."

"Let's go to Tiankeju together later and let Song Jinyu pay. He has never treated me to a meal in all the time we have known each other. He is so stingy."

"Then we'll just buy something expensive tomorrow. Song Jinyu has plenty of money anyway."

As the sun gradually faded, the two people's shadows were stretched out, and in the afterglow, they snuggled up to each other like an ordinary couple.
