The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 165 Let Her Get Enough Sleep

In her previous life, although Xu Rongrong was confined to the harem, the fact that the third prince was plotting treason was known to everyone in the court.

What's more, he was killed by Mu Rong himself.

She once heard the servants in the Marquis' Mansion talk about how the Third Prince died without an heir.

So, the child in Sister Mu's belly...

What kind of accident happened in the previous life?

Moreover, from what she had seen in this life, Mu Rong had a very good relationship with the Third Prince among all the other princes. So why did she personally kill him in her previous life? Was it because the Third Prince was plotting treason?

She sat in the carriage, thinking so much that she had a headache.

No matter what, if Sister Mu was really pregnant, according to the development of her previous life, it can only mean that the child was not saved in the end.

how so……

Xu Rongrong wrung her hands nervously.

At this moment, I have a lot of thoughts in my mind, but no one to talk to.

The car was filled with steam from the charcoal basin, but she felt cold all over.

Mu Rong sat beside her, looked at her little hand that didn't know where to put it, and subconsciously held it.

Ever since his little girl heard that the Third Princess might be pregnant, she seemed to have lost her soul.

She must have been thinking about her past life, right? That's why she was afraid that the baby in the Third Princess's belly wouldn't be born safely.

Mu Rong held Xu Rongrong's hand and patiently comforted her:

"Don't worry. When the Third Prince returns home, he will definitely ask the court physician to take her pulse. Then the Third Princess will know she's pregnant. Although she's usually a bit of a jerk, the matter of the Crown Prince is of such importance that even if she doesn't care, the Third Prince will keep her under control."

"The baby in her belly will surely be born safely."

Xu Rongrong nodded without commenting.

Seeing her depressed look, Mu Rong's heart was also shrouded in a layer of gloom.

He actually wanted to tell her that the third imperial concubine in the previous life was not pregnant.

Back then, the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince was far more intense than it is today. The Crown Prince's brother-in-law had seized the Jiangxia Salt Mountain, and this was brought to the attention of the Emperor. The salt industry was crucial to the nation's destiny, and the Emperor, enraged, sentenced the brother-in-law to death and confined the Crown Prince to the Eastern Palace, where he was not released until the Qixi Festival.

Although the prince returned to the court later, he encountered a flood in the south of the Yangtze River. Chang Jing was implicated in the flood and was severely punished, and the Chang family declined.

The Crown Prince had no support from his mother's family, and the Crown Princess Chang's family was in dire straits. This immediately changed the tone of the court officials. From then on, the Crown Prince became cautious and timid, afraid to speak much, and became suspicious, gradually losing the favor of the emperor.

At this time in his previous life, the Crown Prince was already showing signs of defeat, so the Second Prince turned his attention to the Third Prince. It was at this time that a private wine waiter named Duan Chuanchao entered the Third Prince's mansion under the pretext of delivering wine.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Wu Tianxiao had mentioned to him more than once that the wine delivery boy in his mansion was actually very knowledgeable about trade.

However, he did not care about it at that time. It was not until Duan Chuanchao became the third prince's trusted adviser that he felt something was wrong.

But by then, it was too late. The court was in turmoil, the princes were fighting among themselves, and the conspiracies and plots were both true and false. The third prince was forced into a desperate situation amidst layer upon layer of conspiracy.

Now, he took advantage of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River to expose Duan Chuanchao who was hiding behind it in advance.

The man who was imprisoned in the sky prison is now disheveled and tortured, and no longer has the glory of his previous life.

Even until death I will be just a lowly tavern boy.

But, was it because of this variable that the Third Princess had a different fate from her previous life and became pregnant?

And the Third Prince had become alert, so he suppressed the news of the Third Princess' pregnancy?

Thinking of this, an idea flashed through his mind.

But when he looked up and saw Xu Rongrong's tightly furrowed brows, he suppressed all his thoughts.

Because he knew that his little girl's headache had come back again.

All the way from Jiangnan to Beijing, Xu Rongrong hardly had a good rest.

After only one night's rest at the Xu residence, he was once again disgusted by the father and daughter Xu Chaoqian and Xu Yaoyao.

Next comes New Year’s Eve, and staying up late is the most unbearable.

So in this swaying carriage, I was gradually swallowed up by the sleepiness that had accumulated for a long time.

But she was still worried about Mu Qianyin's pregnancy, so she couldn't fall asleep completely.

The mixture of sleepiness and anxiety gave her a splitting headache.

Mu Rong quietly stood up, sat down beside the girl, turned her body which was leaning against the wall of the car, and held her in his arms.

Wrapped in the sudden warmth, Xu Rongrong was aware of what was happening, but she was so exhausted that she could hardly open her eyes. She could only murmur softly in protest.

Mu Rong put his hand on her brow and said, "Go to sleep. I won't touch you."

Waves of warm current flowed in, making her feel more comfortable all over.

The pain was gone and she fell into a peaceful sleep.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the Xu residence. Wen Yao, who had been feeling the cold wind all the way, rubbed her hands. She pushed open the door and tried to help her young lady out, but she found Xu Rongrong sleeping soundly in Mu Rong's arms.

Wen Yao: “…”

She wanted to speak to wake up her young lady, but just as she opened her mouth, she heard the Marquis's low voice: "No need to wake her up, I'll take her back to her room."

After saying that, he held Xu Rongrong in his arms and wrapped her tightly with his cloak.

Jump off the carriage steadily.

Everyone in the Xu Mansion was asleep, and Mu Rong held Xu Rongrong in his arms as if he were alone.

In the Wutong Courtyard, Luo Shu was dozing off under the corridor while guarding the hot water.

Seeing the Marquis carrying her daughter in, she was horrified: "Marquis, let me do it."

"Go get a basin of warm water."

After Mu Rong finished speaking, he carried Xu Rongrong into the room and gently placed her on the bed.

Touching the soft bed, Xu Rongrong rolled in comfortably.

Mu Rong raised the corner of his mouth and gently covered her with the quilt.

Luo Shu came in with hot water, and Wen Yao also hurried over: "It's getting late, my lord, please go back. The young lady will be served here by the two of us."

Mu Rong pretended not to hear. He twisted out a handkerchief and wiped the makeup off Xu Rongrong's face.

Then, piece by piece, she removed her headdress, freeing her hair from its layers.

Every step was taken gently, leaving the two girls stunned.

After Mu Rong quietly handled everything, he stood up and looked at the two maids standing by. "Take good care of your young lady. There's no need to wake her tomorrow morning. Prepare the food for her when she wakes up. No one is allowed to wake her up. Not even your master is allowed to disturb her before she wakes up."

The two girls looked at each other and quickly responded.

When I came out of Xu's house, small snowflakes were already falling from the sky.

Mu Lu held up an umbrella for his own master: "Master, would you like to stay at the Mu residence tonight?"

Mu Rong shook his head: "Return to the Marquis' Mansion."

Mu Lu looked at the dark night and sighed in his heart, his own marquis was really capable of making trouble!

He remembered something: "Master, didn't you ask His Majesty to set a wedding date tonight during the family dinner?"

"No."

Mu Lu: “…”

My own marquis doesn't seem like such a patient person.

Seeing his puzzled expression, Mu Rong said in a deep voice, "I don't want to force her."
