In the early morning of the next day, Wen Yao went to the main hall of the government office to look for Magistrate Wu under the guise of the county lord.

"Prefect Wu knows that I came to Yuzhou this time to look for someone."

Magistrate Wu nodded: "Does the county lord have a portrait? I can look it up for you."

Wen Yao smiled and said, "I don't have to worry about the search for the person, my lord. It's just that a token was lost when my maid took it up the mountain. I would also like to ask your lord to arrange two yamen to guard the intersection up the mountain. If anyone can help me, Ask a question."

"This matter is simple!" Magistrate Wu called the master, "Go and find four honest and decent people to guard at the foot of Yushan Mountain."

Upon seeing this, Wen Yao thanked him and returned to Yaju.

This was also because of Xu Rongrong's instructions.

The Moon Grass has been handed over to Shu Qing, and I believe the antidote will be prepared soon.

The top priority is to prevent someone from poisoning again.

Therefore, asking the prefect of Yuzhou to dispatch and guard Yushan is the best way when they are short of manpower.

In addition, because Mu Ai was injured, Mu Lu took on the role of patrolling both sides of the Yu River.

Only when the city's patients are completely detoxified can they truly feel relieved.

……

Two days later, there were no more high fever patients in Yuzhou City.

Even patients who had previously entered the second stage of the disease began to improve.

Shu Qing clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "This moon grass is really a wonderful medicine!"

Madam Luo Xiao said with a smile: "Our county head is really a strange woman."

When Luo Yuqi heard this, she pestered her mother: "I want to be like the county leader and be a wonderful woman from now on!"

Just like that, the previous aura of defeat and death in Yuzhou City was swept away.

However, in just a few days, it became full of vitality again.

At night, people gathered on both sides of the Yu River to light river lanterns, and several families lit Kongming lanterns.

Xu Rongrong was sitting in the elegant home, looking at the distant Kongming Lantern above her head, and suddenly felt a sense of solidity and peace.

Seeing her following the lanterns with her eyes infatuatedly, Mu Rong had an idea in his mind.

Soon, he reappeared in front of Xu Rongrong.

"Master Hou, what are you doing?" Xu Rongrong looked at him.

Mu Rong held up the Kongming Lantern he had just tied up: "Seeing that you like it, I made one."

Xu Rongrong took it. Perhaps it was made in a hurry. This Kongming Lantern was not exquisite. It was made of plain white paper wrapped in thin bamboo strips, making it look very simple.

It's just that on each side, two words are written in vigorous and powerful strokes: Ankang.

This is what Mu Rong wants to say to Xu Rongrong most.

He wanted to protect her health throughout her life.

His thoughts were written on his face and in his eyes.

Xu Rongrong knew it at a glance. She lowered her head and whispered: "I heard that making a wish when setting off the Kongming lantern is the most effective. Does Mr. Hou have paper and pen?"

Soon, paper and pen were presented.

When Xu Rongrong picked up the pen, he glanced at Mu Rong.

The latter turned his back knowingly.

Xu Rongrong bit her pen, if she wished...

Her biggest wish in this life is to stay away from the capital and the person in front of her.

If fate can really comply with her wishes, then let her thoughts come true.

She wrote on paper: In this life, there will be no trace of the past.

After she finished writing, she rolled up into a ball and clamped it on the inner wall of the Kongming Lantern.

Mu Rong heard the movement and turned around with a smile: "Have you made your wish?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

Mu Rong did not ask her what she wished for. He knew that she would definitely not tell her at this time, so he simply raised his head and looked at the sky:

"Let's go! I'll take you to put out the lights."

"Where to go..." Xu Rongrong didn't finish her words.

Mu Rong held the lamp in one hand, hugged her with the other, and flew up to the roof.

There is wind on the roof, which is perfect for placing lights.

Mu Rong tightened his cloak for her and said with a smile: "Can your lamp bring me a wish?"

Xu Rongrong looked at him: "Master Hou made this lamp, why bother asking me."

Mu Rong took out the note he had prepared. There were only four words on the note: You will live up to your expectations in this life.

After Mu Rong put the note, he lit the Kongming lantern with a fire fold, then held Xu Rongrong's hand, and they let the lantern fly together.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind blew from nowhere, causing the Kongming Lantern to sway.

Xu Rongrong was startled and exclaimed: "Don't..."

Fortunately, the lamp made by Mu Rong himself is not very beautiful, but it is extremely strong.

Even if it swings back and forth in the cold wind, it still flies far away steadily.

Only then did Xu Rongrong let out a sigh of relief.

Mu Rong looked at her: "Is that wish very important?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

Mu Rong raised his head, looked at the Kongming Lantern that was gradually disappearing, and murmured: "Don't worry, Rong Rong will definitely make it come true."

The shadows of the moon kept overlapping, elongating, and intertwining their two figures.

Another gust of wind blew by, and Xu Rongrong shrank.

Mu Rong subconsciously held her in his arms.

Xu Rongrong was startled for a moment, then broke free: "It's windy here, let's go down."

She had just taken the soothing soup prescribed by Shu Qing, and now she was feeling a little sleepy.

Although Mu Rong was reluctant to give up, he was not willing to let his little girl suffer the cold here.

After wrapping his cloak tightly around Xu Rongrong, he held her in his arms and jumped off the roof before she could react.

At this time, gentlemen were coming and going in Yaju.

Xu Rongrong was a little embarrassed and struggled to get down.

Unexpectedly, Mu Rong hugged her tighter: "Don't worry, they can't see you."

His little girl was thin and small, and was wrapped up in a cloak. Naturally, the servants in Yajuzhong couldn't see her face.

But if she insists on coming down, that's another matter.

Mu Rong was sure that she didn't want to be exposed like this in front of others, so he hugged her and walked into the backyard.

Xu Rongrong leaned her head on his chest, listening to the steady heartbeat.

It was a completely different feeling from my previous life.

In her previous life, she was afraid, but today, it made her feel a little at ease.

When she was in his arms, she could just look up and see the watery moon. The moonlight cast down from his head, just like it did at the bottom of the cliff, dispelling the uneasiness in her heart.

Maybe the moonlight was too beautiful, maybe Shu Qing's soothing soup had an effect. When Mu Rong took Xu Rongrong back to the wing, the girl in his arms didn't move at all.

It wasn't until he entered the house that he discovered that Xu Rongrong had fallen asleep in his arms...

This discovery surprised and delighted him.

This was the first time she had completely let down her guard against herself.

Does that mean that she has begun to accept herself?

Mu Rong didn't dare to think too much. Such a discovery made him even more afraid to make mistakes.

He placed the girl smoothly on the bed and covered her with a brocade quilt.

Perhaps leaving his warm embrace made her feel a little uncomfortable. The girl groaned and frowned.

She turned over and nestled herself into the soft quilt, looking for the familiar peace.

Mu Rong just sat by the bed and looked at the girl's sleeping face quietly.

How long will he have to wait before he can truly hold her in his arms?

Really own her...
