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

Rong Yan subconsciously took a step back. If the person in front of him was not indeed his second brother, he would have already struck him with his palm.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Rong Yan had a look of fear on his face. Why did he come to his house to be polite? If those nagging old ministers saw this, they would probably say that he was ignorant of etiquette and was arrogant because of his favor.

Rong Lou did not answer Rong Yan's previous question, but directly stretched out his hands in front of Rong Yan and said with full energy: "This is the latest good wine from Junzitai, Furongzui, and these are the best cakes sold by Mantingfang, Rouge Peach Red Cake and White Jade Frost Square Cake. I have asked around and found that many girls like to eat these. The wine is for you, and the cakes are for the princess."

Rong Yan and Tang Mumu looked at each other and didn't reach out to take it.

"Don't like it?" Rong Lou thought they didn't want the gifts he brought. He frowned and looked at the things in his hand. Just as he was about to ask them what they wanted, Tang Mumu hurriedly took the wine and pastries.

"Second brother, just come if you want to. Why are you so polite? Aren't you brothers?"

It is rare in the royal family for brothers to be so polite.

"I have something I would like to ask Princess Rong for help. Please lend a hand."

Tang Mumu raised her eyebrows. So he was waiting for her here. She was wondering why he sent such expensive pastries. It turned out that he was trying to take advantage of the situation.

"Second brother, please tell me what you want me to do for you. If I can't help you, you can just take this gift back."

Unexpectedly, Rong Lou bowed to Tang Mumu again and said loudly: "Princess, you are joking. I didn't mean that. It's just... it's just our first meeting, so it's not good to come empty-handed. If Princess doesn't want to help, you don't have to... don't have to return this thing."

Tang Mumu couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. It seemed that except for Prince Shun who was a little bad guy, the other brothers of Rong Yan were all pretty good, especially the second prince, who was a fool and a simpleton.

Rong Lou stood there awkwardly, watching Tang Mumu laugh. He didn't know whether to speak or not, so he could only agree with Tang Mumu and twitched his mouth awkwardly. In the end, Rong Yan pulled Tang Mumu behind him to stop her laughing.

"Second brother, why don't you just speak frankly? Second brother has just returned to the court. If there is anything we can help you with, we will definitely not refuse."

Rong Lou pursed his lips, and after a long while he whispered, "You know that my father asked me to take Princess Linlang of Dongxuan Kingdom around Shangjing during the morning court session. I am not in Shangjing most of the time, and Princess Linlang is a girl. I don't know what she likes, let alone where I should take her. I thought that the princess and Princess Linlang are of similar age, and both are girls, so I came here today to ask the princess for help."

Tang Mumu wanted to laugh even more when she saw the shy smile on Rong Lou's face. She felt that after seeing him smile too much, that handsome face became silly.

Rong Yan looked at Tang Mumu. She had to make the decision.

"Does Princess Linlang have any requirements for this?" Tang Mumu put away her smile and talked about business.

"I didn't ask." Rong Lou was very sorry. He should have asked the princess's opinion first.

"It's okay. I'll ask her myself when I see her. It's not a difficult thing. There are quite a few women in the capital who I'm friends with. Let's take Princess Linlang to visit the capital together. I guarantee that she'll be happy."

"You have many friends among women? Besides Ji Chu and Tang Qingzhi, who else are there? Tang Qingzhi can't leave the house, so who else can you find except Ji Chu?"

Tang Mumu shot a cold look at Rong Yan, who immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak anymore.

After seeing King Jing off, Tang Mumu followed Rong Yan back to Zhu Jingxuan. Life had been too peaceful these days and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

"It seems that I have to find another opportunity to talk to Ah Chu about my master and the Ji Mansion. I can't find a good opportunity recently. Now I have Princess Linlang to serve, so I have to put this matter off until later."

After saying that, Tang Mumu pulled her lips helplessly, "Do you think I am too selfish? When I thought about not telling Ah Chu the truth, my first reaction was actually happiness. If Ah Chu knew about it in the future, he would definitely not want to be friends with me anymore."

Tang Mumu let out a long sigh. She didn't know what to choose now. Her dearest master had killed her best friend's family, and as his apprentice, she had repeatedly concealed the truth for him. In a sense, she was also half an accomplice.

Rong Yan held her fingers and pinched them. "Even if you tell her now, it will be useless. Father will not issue an edict of guilt, and your master is nowhere to be found. If Ji Chu knew, she would be unable to do anything except add to her sadness."

Tang Mumu took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Then I won't tell you. When I find my master one day, I will personally take Ah Chu to see my master. Although he is my master, he must pay the price for his wrongdoings. If Ah Chu wants to kill my master to avenge the Ji family, I will help her."

"I feel sorry for Master too. I will take care of Master's affairs after his death. I will fulfill any unfulfilled wishes for him."

Even if she had to kill Emperor Andi to avenge his people, she would try her best to help her master fulfill his wish.

Rong Yan didn't say anything more. He just answered with a "hmm" and changed the subject. "I didn't want you to agree to my second brother's request. Princess Linlang is a princess of Dongxuan Kingdom after all. She came here to marry into the Li Dynasty. Her identity is sensitive, and I don't want you to get involved in this mess."

"I know you are doing this for my own good." Tang Mumu held Rong Yan's hand with her backhand. "For Dongxuan Country, Princess Linlang is a sacrifice pushed forward by the defeated country to protect its interests. For Li Dynasty, Princess Linlang is a trophy. No matter what, she is the most pitiful person now. Since we can't change the outcome, we should try our best to let her see the good of Shangjing City. At least let her know that life here in the future will not be so precarious."

"You have good intentions."

Tang Mumu couldn't tell whether Rong Yan was angry when he said this, and thought of another thing and asked, "This Princess Linlang came to the Li Dynasty for the purpose of a harmonious marriage between the two countries. Who will she marry? After all, she is a princess with a noble status. I think she will marry a minister with great power, right?"

"This is something that Father should worry about, so you don't have to worry about it."

"What if she falls in love with you?" After all, Rong Yan is also a handsome young man with a good reputation for his martial arts skills. Maybe he can really capture the heart of Princess Linlang.

"I don't like her, but I only like you in this life. Is this answer satisfactory to the princess?"

Tang Mumu raised her lips and smiled, "You'd better do this. If you dare to fancy another woman, I will put a poison in your body and make you live a life worse than death."

"Speaking of Gu, although I started to develop an antidote after I got the antidote last time, I am still not good at it. There is one herb I still can't figure out what it is, so the antidote I made can only relieve pain but not detoxify. In a few days, it will be a full moon night again, and you will suffer again."

Speaking of the centipede Gu in Rong Yan's body, Tang Mumu was always worried. Although she now knew how to reduce the pain of the Gu poison attack, it was not a real antidote after all, and Rong Yan still had to suffer a lot when the poison attacked.
