The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 366 Sorry, I scared you just now
Mu Rong's uneasiness stems from the memory of two lives.
In the nineteenth year of Jingyuan in the previous life, that is... next year, the third brother was sent by His Majesty to be the military governor of Chuyang City. Since he had no title, he was just a bald prince and could not suppress the cunning Chuyang Prefecture Yin. It was because of that environment that Duan Chuanchao had the opportunity to take advantage of it.
In the 20th year of Jingyuan, news came from Chuyang City that the third brother was supporting the army and respecting himself. Before the emperor could react, a situation emerged where the third brother was instigated by the Duan Chuan Dynasty to rebel. He personally led his troops to Chuyang City and was ordered to "kill"...
Later, His Majesty was restored to the throne from the Supreme Emperor, and it was found out that the second prince Wu Tianchi instigated Duan Chuanchao to scheme against the third brother. However, because the evidence of the conspiracy was conclusive, the third brother's charges were not cleared in the end.
That was another unbearable pain in his previous life.
What made him feel uneasy right now was that he didn't know that in his previous life, it was his third brother's idea to change the business of selling silk from government officials to private companies.
At this time in his previous life, although he had not yet married Xu Rongrong, the marriage was already scheduled.
During that time, Lin Jiaoyue shed tears every day, which made him completely unconcerned with anything else. He only knew how difficult it was for Deng Zhitong to obtain His Majesty's consent at the court meeting at that time. And the following year, due to the lack of silk production in Jiangnan, It broke out immediately, and the silk tax revenue from the national treasury had little effect. The following year, Deng Zhitong was impeached by hundreds of officials, and His Majesty also followed suit and demoted him to the south.
Later, the third brother was sent to Chuyang City by His Majesty.
In the summer of that year, the silk production in the south of the Yangtze River was booming. Not only was the silk business in the south of the Yangtze River extremely prosperous, it even set off a trade boom in the Zhou Dynasty, and the silk silk tax became one of the pillars of the national treasury.
It was precisely with this money that His Majesty, after hearing the news of the third brother's "rebellion", quickly asked him to lead 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress him.
In his previous life, he didn't know the inside story, so he didn't think of it, but in this life...
His hands clenched tightly into fists.
Seeing that he was so serious, Xu Rongrong was shocked and asked: "Opening up the private sector is a matter that benefits the country and the people. It only takes one or two years to see results. Why is the Marquis frowning?"
Mu Rong frowned, wanting to hide it from her.
But looking at Xu Rongrong's beautiful eyes with a trace of worry, she finally expressed her thoughts: "Yesterday, Mr. Deng, the Minister of Household Affairs, was sent back to the palace by a carriage from the palace. After he entered the palace, the people in the palace He didn't go far and followed him to the third brother's house."
After Mu Rong came back from rebirth, Mu Jiajun was placed as an informant in every minister's and clan's mansion in the court.
Last night was the eyeliner's report.
Xu Rongrong was slightly startled when he heard this: "There are time limits for the travel of the servants in the palace, otherwise they will be severely punished. But that person... is he in the palace? Or is it His Majesty who is monitoring Mr. Deng?"
Mu Rong shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I know that Your Majesty must have known that what Lord Deng said in the meeting was a conclusion reached after discussing with the third brother."
Xu Rongrong was silent.
Border trade was reopened and the treasury was abundant. This was also due to King Ning's suggestion at the family banquet. Now, the Minister of Household Affairs was undecided and went to Prince Ning's mansion for discussion, which shows that Prince Ning was gradually gaining popularity in the court.
The crown prince was deposed and the second prince became a commoner. Prince Ning became a unique figure and was supported by important ministers. This...
Is it what His Majesty wants to see?
In the past, Xu Rongrong would have no doubt. After all, the emperor left her with an image of being diligent, caring for the people, and emphasizing love and justice.
But now, the emperor's impression on her gradually became blurred.
This ambiguity made her unsure of her judgment.
Looking at Mu Rong again, his eyes were slightly confused and worried.
He...should be thinking the same thing, right?
Xu Rongrong said bluntly: "Is the Marquis worried that His Highness Prince Ning's great achievements and now that he has won the hearts of the people will arouse His Majesty's suspicion?"
Mu Rong's expression turned grim, and he said solemnly: "No!"
After saying that, he rushed out of the door like a gust of wind. He needed to calm down!
But his movement was so loud that Xu Rongrong was startled.
Looking at the back of the man walking away in a hurry, Xu Rongrong sighed slightly.
Sure enough, that's what he thought.
Otherwise, no matter what happens, he will never be so out of control.
But if you think about it carefully, it’s no wonder...
In his previous life, he personally killed King Ning.
She vaguely remembered that in the year after Prince Ning's death, Mu Rong was extremely cold and frightening. Not only was he unkind to her, but no one in the family dared to appear in front of him.
Even Mu Yi Muai, the two closest confidants to him, received a lot of punishment that year.
Poor His Highness Prince Ning.
Thinking of that handsome man treating Sister Mu with tenderness, a strange thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
She remembered that Prince Ning in his previous life committed rebellion and died after the business boom. Later, some people in the court talked about it, saying that he was instigated by someone sent by the second prince Wu Tianchi to make the big mistake.
But who wants him to die, isn’t it just Wu Tianchi?
After all, the third prince in his previous life had no ambitions from beginning to end. The second prince was in a fierce fight with the prince at that time. Why would he be distracted and place a useful Duan Chuanchao next to the third prince?
And she also remembered that Mu Rong told her that after Duan Chuanchao was captured by Chang Jing of the prince's faction in this life, he soon confessed that he was under the instruction of the second prince.
Since the second prince wanted to arrange a useful chess piece, how could he let this chess piece easily recruit him out?
unreasonable! Nothing makes sense!
Who really wants King Ning to die?
The fourth prince?
Or... what about the current emperor?
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood Mu Rong's confusion:
His parents died in the war when he was young, and his family members wanted to plot the title of this prince's mansion.
The only one who treated him sincerely was the emperor.
But now, the emperor he respects the most may actually be the person standing behind the many shadows...
How could this keep him from panicking?
Not sure what he would do in his panic, Xu Rongrong just vaguely felt that he shouldn't be allowed to bear this moment alone.
So she turned around...
Mu Rong stood under the eaves behind him, looking at her blankly, his eyes full of sadness.
Xu Rongrong subconsciously faced him.
As soon as she moved, she felt herself being pulled into a hug by a huge force.
His body was very stiff.
He held her so tightly that she could even hear his frantic heartbeat.
"I'm sorry, I scared you just now." Mu Rong murmured, rubbing her neck with his chin as he spoke, as if he wanted to use her softness to erase his stiffness.
Xu Rongrong didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a pause, ask him: "Have you figured it out?"
Mu Rong nodded.
