That night, Xu Rongrong tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The icy poison that sealed Mu Rong's acupoints was like a pair of cold and heavy shackles that tightly locked her heart.

The current situation was like the dark sky before a storm, so oppressive that it made people breathless. The emperor was about to take action, and what was waiting for them was not only the undercurrents at the New Year's Eve banquet, but also the sudden changes in the four camps outside the capital.

Although Mu Rong controlled the four camps outside the capital and the defense of the capital, they were the emperor's army after all. Once Zou Rixia and his ilk had the imperial edict in hand, it would be extremely difficult for Mu Rong to suppress them, just like sailing against the current.

Although Zou Rixia has been controlled now, the fate of the other two private armies is still unknown.

What's more, who can guarantee that the emperor has not buried other backup plans in the four camps outside the capital?

The situation is becoming more and more confusing, and the existence of the cold poison is becoming more and more dangerous!

What made her even more angry was that her precious time of the whole day was wasted by Mu Rong. Thinking of this, Xu Rongrong felt angry and secretly blamed the "culprit".

But the culprit was now asleep on the couch beside him, which made Xu Rongrong even more angry.

She simply sat up, opened the bed curtains and looked out.

In the past, the alert Mu Rong would have surely woken up, but at this moment, his brows were deeply furrowed, and even in his sleep he could not hide the pain on his face. He slept very uneasily, and one could tell at a glance that the cold poison was probably causing trouble again!

The anger in Xu Rongrong's heart instantly dissipated at this moment - it was already like this, and he was still considering her eyes...

What could she say?

She got out of bed, put on her clothes, wrapped herself in a cloak, gently opened the door, and stepped into the cold night.

The cold winter wind hitting her face was very uncomfortable, and the icy night wind ruffled her hair. But she was completely unaware and walked straight towards the tea room beside her.

Because hot water was always simmering, the fire in the tea room was burning brightly, and the dim light was constantly dancing, giving the space a hazy warmth.

Xu Rongrong sat at the table and carefully opened the old and broken medical book. The pages were slightly curled at the edges because Mu Rong had carried them in his arms for a whole day, making them look more fragile, as if they would turn into powder and fly away with a slight touch.

This book is difficult to read. Many pages are broken due to being stored for too long, and the word order is messy, making it look like a scrambled puzzle.

But the more this happened, the more fascinated Xu Rongrong became. She had a vague feeling that the method to detoxify was in this book.

But, where is it?

She had read this book over and over again several times. Except for some incoherent sentence order, she could recite the rest of the book almost by heart and did not find any clues.

She was a little depressed.

At this moment, the fire on the side suddenly exploded with a slight sound, sparks flew, and blasted out thin streaks of light, which seemed particularly abrupt in this quiet tea room.

Xu Rongrong was startled by the sudden sound and her fingertips trembled slightly. She accidentally knocked a page of the book off. The page floated down to the ground. The page was already slightly curled up by Mu Rong, and it curled up even more after it fell to the ground.

Reluctantly, she prepared to spread it out carefully, her eyes casually sweeping across the scattered words on it. Suddenly, she discovered that if she read the words horizontally, they could miraculously form eight words - "Cold poison seals the acupoints, blood grass replaces blood."

At this moment, Xu Rongrong only felt a "boom" in her head, as if a thunder had exploded. Her eyes widened instantly, and her gaze was fixed on these eight words, as if she was afraid that they would disappear in the next second.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to burst out of her chest. The excitement instantly overwhelmed her like a surging tide, and her hands trembled slightly uncontrollably. Her fingertips lightly touched the handwriting on the page, confirming it over and over again, fearing that she was dazzled and had read it wrong.

It turns out that the word order is not messed up!

It turns out that the truth is hidden here.

Xu Rongrong murmured to herself, her voice trembling slightly with excitement, and her eyes gradually turned red.

These days, the poison in Mu Rong's body was like a heavy stone, pressing on her heart, making her worried day and night. Now she seemed to see the dawn of hope, how could she not be happy.

On the other side, Mu Rong slowly woke up from his sleep, and the cold and dull pain in his chest gradually made him sober.

He struggled to get up and used his internal energy to regulate his breathing.

After the pain subsided, he slowly opened his eyes...

On the opposite side, the green bed curtains were lifted at some point, revealing an empty bed.

"Rongrong?" Mu Rong called out subconsciously, but the only response he got was the silence in the room, and no one answered.

He supported himself on the couch and stood up. Without even putting on his cloak, he hurried out of the house.

Following the faint light, Mu Rong arrived at the door of the tea room.

She is indeed here.

Mu Rong stepped into the tea room: "Why are you here..."

Before he could finish his words, a warm and soft body suddenly threw itself into his arms.

Mu Rong was stunned. The girl in his arms was trembling slightly. He couldn't tell whether it was because of the cold, fear, or excitement.

"Rongrong?" He was a little at a loss for a moment.

Xu Rongrong suddenly raised her head, the excitement and joy in her eyes had not yet faded, and under the candlelight, they were shining brightly.

"Why are you..." Before he could finish his words, he was sealed by her lips.

Mu Rong froze.

Xu Rongrong seemed to have completely forgotten the past entanglements. She hooked her arms around Mu Rong's neck tightly, raised her toes slightly, tried hard to press his head towards her, and kissed him fiercely without caring about anything.

This sudden passionate kiss made Mu Rong's mind go blank. He could feel Xu Rongrong's fiery catharsis, as if she wanted to release all the emotions that she had suppressed in her heart for a long time through this kiss.

No, this is not right!

Mu Rong didn't dare to let himself sink.

He exerted a little force and pushed the girl in his arms away.

Xu Rongrong, who was forced to separate, opened her somewhat blurry eyes. Her lips were so red that they seemed to bleed. Her lips trembled slightly as she looked at him in confusion.

"Rongrong, what happened?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Rongrong glared at him, patted his shoulder and motioned him to lower himself.

Mu Rong thought she had some secret words, and his stiff body softened.

The moment he approached, the girl kissed him on the lips again. This time, it was not as crazy as before, but it was not to be refused.

This time, Mu Rong didn't push her away.

Because he knew that she was awake and kissed him awake.

His hands moved from her shoulders to her slender waistline, and he held her tightly in his arms, tightening his arms as if he wanted to merge the girl in front of him into his bones and blood.

The two figures were intertwined under the dim candlelight, as if time had stopped for them at this moment. The only sounds in the world were each other's heartbeats and breathing. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long were finally released in the teahouse on this cold night, like a volcanic eruption.

After a long time, Xu Rongrong, who was almost out of breath, punched Mu Rong's chest.

The latter reluctantly let go of the person.

The girl's cheeks were rosy, as if they were dyed with the most beautiful clouds in the sky.

She panted slightly, her voice a little hoarse: "Mu Rong, I seem to have found a way to detoxify."

"Just because of this?" Was the passionate kiss just now caused by this?

Xu Rongrong lowered her eyes: "Well, I was too excited."

"No." Mu Rong shook his head, lowered his head again and kissed the girl's lips, whispering incoherently, "Rongrong, you please me."
