Chapter 120: Being Tricked

In the farmyard, Mu Wan'er died on the spot.

The strong smell of blood made this young girl

But there was still a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Now that the people had been rescued safely, Mu Ai did not delay any longer and disbanded the Mu family army on the spot, allowing them to return to their respective garrisons before dawn.

Mu Lu, on the other hand, was in the yard, looking at his master with a strange expression.

Look! This is a prime example of how impatience can lead to mistakes!

Now, the Marquis, who was a hero saving the beauty, was mistakenly thought to be murdering her. He felt so distressed watching this!

But... looking at the jade pendant broken into two pieces on the ground, he was also a little puzzled: such a harmless thing, with his own marquis's eyesight, it is impossible not to see it.

The reason was that he was too impatient and lost his judgment.

Thinking of this, Mu Lu looked at the face of the corpse and sighed in his heart: This thing that hurts people so much! Even in death, he wants to trick his own master!

He coughed dryly and said, "This happened suddenly, and the Marquis is overly worried about the safety of the young lady."

Xu Rongrong didn't know whether it was okay or not, so she walked over, tore off the black cloth covering Wen Yao's eyes, and then pulled out the cloth blocking his mouth.

The little girl finally saw the light of day again. She threw herself into her mistress's arms and burst into tears.

Xu Rongrong patted her on the back: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."

A bloody smell came, Xu Rongrong lowered her head to check, only to see that the wound on Wen Yao's neck was still bleeding. She quickly took out the medicine bag from her waist and bandaged her.

Mu Rong stood aside and looked at her quietly.

After stopping the bleeding for Wen Yao, Xu Rongrong pulled her over to Mu Rong and bowed deeply, "Thank you so much for saving me tonight, Your Majesty. I will never forget your kindness and will definitely repay you someday."

Her voice was soft, yet strangely cold.

On this winter night, it was like a sharp sword piercing Mu Rong's chest.

His heart ached. "I thought she was going to hurt you."

Xu Rongrong stood up and smiled faintly, "That person is dead. Before he died, he took all the blame on himself, but he completely absolved Miss Lin. The Marquis's move was precise, and he ended her life in one fell swoop. But no matter what the Marquis's purpose was, if Lin Jiaoyue dared to hurt someone close to me, I will not let it go."

After saying that, she took Wen Yao and left.

"Rongrong!" Before Mu Rong finished speaking, a fishy and sweet taste rushed into his throat.

Caught off guard, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Mu Rong felt dizzy at this moment.

The girl's face gradually became blurred in front of his eyes.

He stretched out his hand in a daze, trying to retrieve something, but he caught nothing.

"Believe me..." He tried his best to say three words in the direction of Xu Rongrong, and then suddenly fell down.

This sudden change happened, and even Xu Rongrong was unable to react.

She stood there in a daze until Mu Ai and Mu Lu arrived.

The color on Mu Rong's face was rapidly fading, and his complexion became pale.

"My Lord!" Mu Ai was shocked.

Mu Lu was also at a loss at this moment. He carried his own master on his shoulders and rushed out the door. ...

On the way back to the city, Mu Ai and Mu Lu took turns carrying their master on their backs.

Mu Rong's body was rapidly losing temperature. Xu Rongrong ordered, "Don't go back to the government office, go find Shu Qing directly!"

The door of the Luo family courtyard was kicked open.

Luo Xiao, who was cooking breakfast, was startled by the sudden noise and hurried out of the kitchen.

But the scene before her made her even more horrified: "This...what happened to the Marquis?"

Mu Lu didn't have time to explain and rushed into Shu Qing's room.

The doctor had not gotten up yet. When he heard the noise, he found that there was something new on the bed.

Mu Lu placed his own Marquis on the bed and picked up Shu Qing: "Hurry and take a look, the Marquis just vomited blood!"

Shu Qing: "..." Mu Rong's face was ashen at this moment, and Shu Qing did not dare to delay seeing this.

After a long while, he asked, "Did you take the medicine for internal injuries on time?"

Mu Lu nodded.

"This... shouldn't be." Shu Qing frowned. He had occasionally checked Mu Rong's pulse before, and saw that his internal injuries had gradually improved. How could it be that they suddenly worsened again and even reached the point of vomiting blood?

"How has your rest been lately, Lord Marquis?" he asked again.

"Because I was previously busy carrying out errands for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and after arriving in Yuzhou City, I encountered the young lady in danger. These past few days, I have been worried constantly. I often see the light on in his room until midnight."

Shu Qing frowned and said nothing.

"Also..." Mu Lu glanced at Xu Rongrong who was standing in the courtyard and had not yet entered the house, and whispered in Shu Qing's ear, "The Marquis and the eldest lady were mad at each other just now! The eldest lady lost her temper and the Marquis acted like this." Shu Qing: "..."

He had a strange look on his face. When young people nowadays quarrel, one of them can actually make the other angry to death?

"What happened to the Marquis?" Mu Lu asked.

Shu Qing sighed, "For the past month or so, the Marquis has been traveling back and forth, and he's already exhausted. Now, coupled with his anger, which has triggered internal injuries, this is why."

Mu Lu asked: "It doesn't sound serious?"

Shu Qing glared at him: "What are you talking about? Are you hoping that the Marquis will die soon?"

"No, no, no!" Mu Lu waved his hands quickly. He glanced outside the door and lowered his voice, "Isn't the eldest lady still angry with the Marquis? I want to ask, Doctor Shu, could you describe the Marquis's condition as more serious? That way... maybe the eldest lady will forgive the Marquis!"

"You're planning... a self-torture scheme?" Shu Qing sneered, "Don't forget, I'm the eldest lady's man. Why would I help your Lord Marquis deceive her?!"

Mu Lu quickly pestered Shu Qing: "Ah, why are you so stubborn! The marriage between the Marquis and the eldest daughter was granted by His Majesty. Sooner or later, you will be our Marquis's person! Besides, what subordinate would not hope that their master is happy and harmonious?"

"Besides, you didn't lie to the eldest lady! Look at our Marquis's face, how is it different from being dead?" Mu Lu said with a sneer.

Shu Qing grinded his teeth after hearing what he said: He didn't know how he would feel when Marquis Weiyuan woke up and knew that his subordinates were so eager for something to happen to him.

He thought that when Weiyuan Hou woke up, he would definitely sue Mu Lu to avenge him for being dragged out of the bed in an undignified manner!

However, he never expected that not long after, Mu Rong's first reaction after hearing about this was to increase Mu Lu's monthly salary!

After tossing and turning in the house for a long time, Shu Qing finally walked out with Mu Lu. "How is my Lord?" Mu Ai asked hurriedly.

Xu Rongrong didn't move her feet, but her heart was also lifted.

Shu Qing glanced at Xu Rongrong's expression, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "My Lord...his old injuries haven't healed yet, and he's also hurting his heart. I'm afraid he's not going to be well."

Xu Rongrong was stunned on the spot.
