A moment of warmth makes people nostalgic.

But the past still hangs like a dark cloud in the hearts of both of them. There are some words and some things that need to be explained in detail.

Mu Rong's fingertips stroked her hot earlobe. He knew that the girl in his arms still had many doubts in her heart.

Even though she was so well-behaved, he still had to let her go.

Feeling the coldness in his body dissipate, Mu Rong believed... there was still a long way to go.

Xu Rongrong was breathing slightly, her thin lips were red and shining, her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes still carried lingering shyness and a little confusion.

She bit her lower lip and turned her head away, not wanting to look at Mu Rong's fiery gaze. "But you clearly ate all of the Yunhua Cake at Fanlou..."

"When I saw the cloud flower cake being served, how could I not know that it was your attempt to test me?" Mu Rong recalled his appearance that day and smiled faintly. His chest shook and the girl shuddered. "I didn't expect Rongrong to be so cruel the first time she attacked... You know, my clothes were all wet that day. If I hadn't used all my internal strength to suppress it, I'm afraid I would have been exposed long ago."

I see……

Xu Rongrong turned around and stared at him with a hint of annoyance: "Did you do it on purpose when I was shot with an arrow in the hunting ground?"

Even though she already had the answer in her mind, she still wanted to hear him admit it himself.

Mu Rong nodded: "I know you were suspicious of me then. After my rebirth, everything I did was different from my previous life. It also caused a huge change in the people and things around me compared to my previous life. Moreover... if I want to help my third brother defeat Wu Tianqi and others, I will do more things that are different from my previous life. I know... if I don't find an opportunity to do something that is almost irreversible, I will never dispel your suspicion."

"So you're going to gamble your life? So that I won't doubt you again?"

"Yes."

"Mu Rong, you are so brave!" Xu Rongrong was filled with hatred. "In my previous life, I risked my life to save you, but you don't know how to cherish me! You are playing with your life just for a small matter!"

"This is not a small matter." Mu Rong hugged the girl tightly, "Because I want to know if you will save me again when I face life and death."

"Childish!" Xu Rongrong's face flushed.

"Yes, Rongrong taught me a lesson." He buried his head in her neck, "But it was worth it."

He remembered that before he was shot by an arrow in the hunting ground, he heard her shouting loudly, "Mu Rong, get out of the way!"

At that moment, he knew that his Rongrong would not bear to see him die.

In this life, he has a chance to redeem himself.

"You're crazy! If the imperial physician and the emperor don't agree with me using Sanguisorba officinalis to save you...if Sanguisorba officinalis is useless..." She poked his chest with her slender fingertips and said hatefully.

"It doesn't matter. I knew what was going to happen when the arrow was shot. The wound won't kill me." He smiled and said, "You haven't forgiven me yet, so I naturally don't want to die. I still have so many things to do and so many things to say to you. How can I joke about my life so easily?"

He gently took her hand and pressed it against his left chest where he had been shot by an arrow.

The vigorous heartbeat came through the old arrow wound, overlapping with the terrible heartache deep in the memory.

"Rongrong, thank you... If it weren't for you, the Mu family army would have fallen into Wu Tianqi's hands, and I would have lost my last support."

He carefully hid the list of Mu's army in the secret door of the secret room.

As long as Wu Tianqi ordered a house search, it would only be a matter of time before the secret room and door were discovered and the list of names was found.

It was Xu Rongrong's fire that saved him from the list, gave him a chance to rise again, and gave him a powerful weapon to take revenge.

"In the previous life...how did Wu Tianqi die?" Xu Rongrong was a little curious.

"He died from my arrow." Mu Rong replied, "After you... left, I took Mu Yi and others to gather the Mu family troops from all over the place and hid at the border. After receiving the secret decree from the emperor, I followed the order to enter the capital and help him depose Wu Tianqi with force. The emperor didn't care about Wu Tianqi's life, so I naturally had to deal with him myself and let him taste the pain of an arrow piercing his heart."

That person ended up like this, which made people feel happy, but...

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean the world will fall into the emperor's hands again?" She frowned slightly.

Thinking back on everything that had happened since his rebirth, if the emperor had not revealed his flaws himself, Mu Rong would have never doubted him.

In this case, the emperor in the previous life must have hidden himself very well.

Mu Rong nodded: "After he was restored to the throne and took charge of the court again, he never killed the princes again because they were mediocre in talent."

"What happened next? He couldn't have really used that evil magic to become immortal, right?" Xu Rongrong teased.

Mu Rong laughed, "Of course not. He died only four years after he was restored to the throne. He always dreamed of living forever and did not teach the princes well. He even made the youngest seventh prince the crown prince."

"Although the seventh prince Wu Tianjun was already eighteen years old when he ascended the throne, he was indecisive and had no talent for an emperor... After pacifying the neighbors, he indulged in pleasure and became increasingly suspicious. The country's prosperity began to decline in less than ten years..."

"Although I was a duke at the time and in charge of the army, I was also suffering from many illnesses and was no longer able to revive the government."

Xu Rongrong recalled the haggard-looking man she saw in her dream. He indeed looked tired and sick.

She wanted to ask him how his previous life ended, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them.

Perhaps subconsciously, she didn't want to know his bad ending.

After all... everyone is mortal.

But Mu Rong seemed to understand her thoughts. The corners of his mouth curled up: "In my previous life, I lived to be forty-five years old. I died suddenly in a dream. It was not painful."

"Then... you must have both a son and a daughter." She asked in a low voice.

"No." Mu Rong replied.

"Ok?"

"In my previous life, I was single, so how could I have children?" Mu Rong looked at her straightly, his eyes deep.

"You...you..." Xu Rongrong was speechless, "You can't let the eldest branch of the Mu family die out, right?"

"So what? If I can't be with the woman I love, what's the point of having children and grandchildren?" After saying that, he leaned closer, his eyes full of ardent love, "Rongrong, I only want you! In the last life and this life, it's the same."

His gaze was too scorching, Xu Rongrong wanted to avoid it, but his hand was tightly clasped on her wrist, not allowing her to escape.

Seeing that her struggle was fruitless, she had to change the subject: "What about Chu He? He is the most capable person around Wu Tianqi. What will he do after Wu Tianqi dies?"

It was a tender and sweet moment, but when he heard her mention Chu He so abruptly, Mu Rong felt a surge of sourness in his heart.

He coughed lightly to hide his emotions: "Before Wu Tianqi was defeated, he suspected Chu He and killed him with poisoned wine."

"This beast!" Xu Rongrong cursed.

Seeing this, Mu Rong felt even more jealous.

He stroked the back of her hand: "Don't worry, Chu He will take revenge personally in this life. I have kept Wu Tianqi alive so that he can deal with him."

Xu Rongrong frowned when she heard this: "What does this mean?"

Mu Rong pretended to be innocent, with a sly look in his eyes:

"Could it be that Rongrong doesn't know?"

"Chu He, he has also been reborn."

They both have reborn identities, so why does Rongrong only scold him but cares so much about Chu He?

If you want to blame someone, you can't be partial to one person and not to another.
