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

Chapter 168 A Yard of Evil Intentions

The wind suddenly blew up, blowing up snowflakes all over the ground.

In the prison, after listening to Duan Chuanchao's entire story, Mu Rong asked the Third Prince, Wu Tianxiao, "Do you really believe that all those things were arranged by the Second Prince?"

The veins on Wu Tianxiao's hands that were holding the reins were bulging.

"What does Rong Ge'er mean?"

"I read Duan Chuanchao's confession overnight. He said that all the information between him and the Second Prince was transmitted by a deputy general named Liao in the Second Prince's palace, who held a jade token. Deputy General Liao lost the jade token, and Duan Chuanchao obtained it and hid it in the palace. It eventually became evidence to identify the Second Prince."

"But if the message between Duan Chuanchao and the Second Prince requires someone to hold a token to deliver it, would the Second Prince dare to let the messenger reveal all his plans? Not to mention, one of them is framing you for treason."

"Absolutely impossible!" Wu Tianxiao said firmly.

"Exactly." Mu Rong nodded.

"Is Duan Chuanchao framing my second brother?" Wu Tianxiao was a little shocked when he thought of this possibility.

"It's true that the Second Prince plotted against the Crown Prince, but it's also true that Duan Chuanchao framed the Second Prince." Mu Rong said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, how could the Second Prince's jade token be lost so easily?"

Wu Tianxiao was silent.

The downfall of the Second Prince is indeed most beneficial to the Crown Prince, but... the Crown Prince's ability is not enough to set up this situation.

Mu Rong was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Third brother, do you remember where you first met Duan Chuanchao?"

Wu Tianxiao's brows were deeply furrowed.

It was when he and Yinyin were going to a banquet at Fanlou that Duan Chuanchao, who was delivering wine to the restaurant, bumped into their carriage. He wanted to get angry, but Yinyin held him back. Looking at the splattered wine, he sniffed, "What a delicious wine! Brother Xiao, we've never had such a fragrant wine in our house."

Seeing how much she liked him, he sent someone to find out where Duan Chuanchao lived...

From then on, Duan Chuanchao had the opportunity to enter the palace.

That day, he went to Fanlou at the invitation of his fourth brother.

He murmured, "How could it be..."

Mu Rong knew his third brother best. He had never been ambitious, but he was also very smart.

So she put her hand on his shoulder and said, "He has never been a harmless person, he just hides it too deeply."

Wu Tianqi is the fourth child in the family. Ahead of him is the Crown Prince, who is deeply loved by the Emperor and has a reputation for legitimacy; the Second Prince, whose mother's family is powerful and whose personality is strong; and the Third Prince, who, despite having no one to rely on, is intelligent, decisive, and known for his wisdom...

No matter what angle His Majesty looked at him, it was impossible for him to notice him. Therefore, he could only plan to let the three in front kill each other, while he hid in the depths and reaped the benefits.

"Yinyin likes my fourth brother the most. She always says that he has a miserable life. Although he was born into a royal family, he has no love from his parents and he is weak... Therefore, she treats him differently from other brothers and always asks me to take care of him. But he... actually dared to harm her!" The veins on Wu Tianxiao's forehead bulged.

"He wants to sever your lineage. The feelings of Third Brother for Third Sister-in-law are known to the entire royal family. You don't even have a concubine in your house. If Third Sister-in-law is unable to bear children, then you will... never have any children in your lifetime."

Wu Tianxiao remained silent.

"What does Rong Ge'er plan to do with Duan Chuan Chao?" he asked.

"I will arrange a doctor for him to save his life! He will spend the rest of his life suffering water torture in the sky prison." Mu Rong sneered.

Wu Tianxiao was slightly stunned. "Didn't you promise to kill him?" Mu Rong shook the snowflakes off his shoulders. "I promised him that if he told me the truth, I would kill him, but it's obvious... he didn't tell the truth, so let's just endure it."

In his previous life, Duan Chuanchao had harmed his third brother and sister-in-law to such a state. In this life, he naturally couldn't die too comfortably.

The two rode back to the Third Prince's Mansion.

After entering the study, Wu Tianxiao poured Mu Rong a cup of hot tea and said in a deep voice:

"Brother Rong took me to the Heavenly Prison today to show me the various schemes of my second and fourth brothers. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Third brother, are you willing to see the world of the Great Zhou handed over to these people in the future?" Mu Rong looked at him.

Wu Tianxiao was stunned when he heard this. He took a sip of tea and said nothing.

"The Crown Prince is incompetent and has no moral integrity. The Second Prince will do anything to achieve his goals. The Fourth Prince is despicable and shameless... Can Third Brother believe that they can benefit the people after ascending the throne?" "You want me to..."

"Yes!" Mu Rong said firmly, "I want you to conquer the world, and I will help you conquer the world."

……

It was already afternoon when Mu Rong returned to the Mu residence.

The continuous running around and suffering have exceeded his limit.

With a pale face, he entered the study amid Mu Yi's worried expression, and he did not come out until the lights were turned on.

It was almost dinner time, and there was no movement in the study.

Mu Yi hesitated back and forth in the yard outside the study.

Mu Lu was humming a little tune as he passed by. Seeing this, he stopped curiously and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Yi? Is he walking in the snow outside the Marquis's study, looking for plum blossoms?"

Under normal circumstances, Mu Yi would have scolded him, but today he was filled with anxiety: "After returning, Master went straight into the study. I don't know what he's been busy with, and he hasn't come out yet. He can't be refusing to eat or drink, right?"

"Oh?" Mu Lu's eyes suddenly became bright. "Master is acting so abnormally... Then Brother Yi should go to the Xu Mansion and ask the eldest lady to come over and take a look!"

After saying that, he winked and smiled at Mu Yi.

Mu Yi was stunned at first, then he understood.

He raised his hand and knocked Mu Lu's head hard: "You are the only one with so many tricks!"

Mu Lu covered his head and gasped in pain.

He looked at Mu Yi's back and said bitterly, "I gave you an idea for free and you still got beaten! I'll charge you next time! Ouch, don't knock me stupid this time..."

In the Wutong Courtyard of the Xu Mansion, Xu Rongrong was taking a walk in the courtyard.

She had just finished her meal and wanted to digest it.

After walking around twice, Luo Shu came running in. He said that Mu Yi came over next door with an anxious look on his face, and it seemed that something had happened to Weiyuan Hou. Xu Rongrong was startled and came out without even putting on her cloak.

Mu Yi paced in front of the Xu residence, sweat dripping down his forehead. "I really shouldn't have bothered the young lady so late, but our master... is really in trouble..."

"What happened to your Lord Marquis?" Xu Rongrong was shocked when she heard this.

"The Marquis has refused to eat or drink, and I don't know what to do." He wasn't lying; the Marquis had indeed refused to eat or drink the entire afternoon.

"But the old injury has relapsed? I'll go take a look." Xu Rongrong said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Yi quickly lit the lamp and led the way, saying, "Thank you, Miss."

From Xu's house to Mu's house, it's only a stone's throw away.

Xu Rongrong hurried on the way to the study. She knew that members of the imperial clan were very averse to seeing a doctor during the New Year, which made her even more anxious. Mu Yi, observing this, thought to himself, "It seems the Marquis must have put in a lot of effort on this trip to Jiangnan to make the young lady so worried about him."

But after seeing Xu Rongrong's nervous expression, he felt a little reluctant.

After all, it was his first time lying... He felt a little guilty.

When Xu Rongrong came, Mu Lu was still squatting in the yard rubbing his forehead.

The blow Mu Yi gave him just now was too heavy, and his eyes were still slightly red.

Seeing him like this made Xu Rongrong's heart sink.

She didn't have time to ask any more questions, so she walked forward quickly and pushed the door open.

There was only one oil lamp burning in the study.

Mu Rong leaned against the desk, his eyes closed and his face pale.

Xu Rongrong's heart seemed to stop for a moment. She hurried over, squatted in front of Mu Rong, and shook him: "My Lord, what's wrong with you?!"

Mu Rong fell backwards, his head tilted to the side.

Xu Rongrong was about to call for the imperial physician when she heard heavy breathing.

Is he... asleep?

Xu Rongrong: "..."

You cannot curse on New Year’s Day.

The door of the study had been closed at some point, and I guess it was those two people outside who did it!

The dignified Marquis Weiyuan has a yard full of evil intentions!

She stood up and tried to leave, but someone suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

She turned back angrily, only to see Mu Rong muttering, "Rongrong..."

His hand was clutching her sleeve, but she did not wake up.

Only then did she notice that Mu Rong was still wearing the same clothes he wore to the banquet last night. Could it be that he had not slept all night?

"Rongrong, I miss you so much." Mu Rong murmured in his dream, seemingly with infinite tenderness.

Xu Rongrong's eyes and eyebrows revealed a hint of tenderness.

He told everyone not to disturb her and let her have a good sleep, but what was he busy with?

Seeing his tired face, Xu Rongrong sighed and sat down again.
