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

Chapter 195 Let’s get married when we get back!

Although Xu Rongrong was very weak at this time, her eyes were very clear.

Mu Rong knew it was difficult to lie to her using the excuse of being sick, so he nodded.

"Shu Qing said that you were poisoned by a strange poison."

Poisoned? Xu Rongrong subconsciously clenched her fist, only to find that she was holding another hand.

She felt a faint warmth in her palms, and then she realized that Mu Rong was pressing against her palms, supplying her with internal energy.

"Don't...don't waste your energy." She opened her red lips and spoke slowly.

She tried to break free, but Mu Rong held her hand stubbornly. "Don't move."

Xu Rongrong lowered her eyes. Because her body was as cold as ice, her whole body became extremely stiff. Just the slightest movement made the corners of her eyes ache, as if an ice blade had cut through them.

"Could it be a cold poison?" Xu Rongrong knew very little about toxicology.

Mu Rong shook his head. "Shu Qing had cured a cold poison before, so he wasn't unfamiliar with it. But the poison you're in is something he's never seen before, so he calls it a strange poison."

Xu Rongrong was silent. She carefully recalled the fragments of her memory before she fainted.

"Horse! My horse is also poisoned! Could it be..."

Mu Rong also shook his head. "Mu Lu brought back the horse's corpse. Shu Qing and the palace physician examined it. They found it had been poisoned by a common poison that affects livestock. Initially, it makes them irritable, then manic, and ultimately dead from exhaustion. However, this poison isn't very harmful to humans." "The person who plotted against you has also been found. It's Xu Yaoyao's guard."

"Xu Yaoyao's bodyguard?" Xu Rongrong was slightly stunned. She had never heard that Xu Yaoyao had such a powerful person around him.

"Yes, but there must be someone behind him. Mu Ai is interrogating him."

Xu Rongrong wanted to say something, but this moment of exhaustion had already made her a little exhausted.

Mu Rong hurriedly said, "You take a rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Qing rushed into the room.

"Is the county lady awake?" Shu Qing asked as he walked away. When he walked around the screen, he saw Xu Rongrong's open eyes.

He didn't care about anything else at the moment and grabbed Xu Rongrong's wrist and put his fingers on it.

After a long time...

Mu Rong asked, "How is it?" Shu Qing glanced at the man beside him and shook his head, "No change."

In other words, in eight days, Xu Rongrong will die due to the expansion of her pulse strength.

Thinking of this, Mu Rong subconsciously held Xu Rongrong's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine."

Although Xu Rongrong didn't know Shu Qing's previous diagnosis, the various signs on her body made her feel bad. Looking at Mu Rong's pretending to be strong, she knew he was just comforting her, but she didn't expose him. She smiled and said, "Well, I'm not afraid."

As she smiled, her lips trembled from the cold.

She looked incredibly fragile, not to mention Mu Rong, even Shu Qing was having trouble holding on. He quickly changed the subject: "Does the county lady remember if she noticed anything unusual before she was poisoned?"

Xu Rongrong shook her head. "I realized my mount had gone berserk because it had been injured by a hidden weapon. I was worried it was unsafe on the mountain, so I just wanted to get down. I didn't notice anything else wrong... It was only on the way down that I suddenly lost consciousness..."

Mu Rong frowned when he heard this: "But when I saw you, you were digging red grass."

"Yuhong?" Xu Rongrong was startled at first, then choked and started coughing violently. "You mean Yuhongcao? But I... have no impression of it at all..."

The three people in the room were all shocked.

Mu Rong was the first to react. He shouted, "Mu Ai, bring the young lady's medicine bag!"

"Yes!"

Not long after, Mu Ai hurried back with Xu Rongrong's medicine bag. In the past two days, because of Xu Rongrong's affairs, no one had the mind to care about Yu Hongcao's affairs, and the medicine bag had been placed in the main hall and no one had touched it.

Looking at the medicine bag stuffed full of Yuhongcao, Xu Rongrong wanted to reach out to take some in disbelief, but just as she raised her hand, it fell down weakly. To avoid worrying Mu Rong, she concealed her hand and tucked it under the quilt. Then she asked, "I found these... in the mountains?"

Mu Rong nodded. "Not only that, when I found you, you had a large amount of Yuhong grass around you. After the medicine bag was full, you even took off your cloak and tried to use it to store the medicine."

"I...why don't I have any impression at all?" Xu Rongrong murmured.

A thought flashed through Mu Rong's mind, and he thought of the abnormality he had experienced when he found Xu Rongrong. He asked, "Could it be that this herb is poisonous?"

"Impossible." Shu Qing denied.

He has been practicing medicine for so many years and has heard of Yuhong, a miraculous medicine for healing wounds. Whether it is recorded in books or passed down by doctors, there is no mention that this medicine contains poison. Otherwise, who would dare to use it to save lives?

Xu Rongrong also nodded. She said with some effort, "I've seen nothing in the book about this medicine being poisonous." Seeing her distress, Mu Rong hurriedly sat down beside her and said, "Don't worry about it. We'll take care of this matter."

Xu Rongrong looked at his stubbled face and smiled, "I'm fine...but you should go wash your face."

There was a slight vibrato in her tone, softly, sliding into her heart.

Mu Rong was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Rongrong."

He left the room, and Shu Qing and Mu Ai did not want to stay any longer, so only Wen Yao was left in the room.

She wrung out a hot handkerchief and carefully applied it to Xu Rongrong's face.

Then, the rising steam disappeared instantly, visible to the naked eye.

Wen Yao bit her lip.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Shu Qing is very capable." Wen Yao nodded desperately, as if trying hard to make himself believe it.

"Has the Marquis been here these days?" Xu Rongrong asked her.

"Well, during the time the young lady was unconscious, the Marquis stayed by her side the entire time. He was the one who fed you the medicine Doctor Shu prepared. Besides taking care of you, he also used his internal energy to soothe you... Only when he couldn't bear it anymore would he take a nap on the couch next to you."

Thinking of the bearded Mu Rong she had just seen, Xu Rongrong's lips curled up slightly.

"Miss..." Wen Yao called her.

"Huh?" Xu Rongrong was puzzled.

"You smiled." This was the first time she saw her young lady smile because of the Marquis.

Xu Rongrong was shocked at this.

She glanced at the girl she trusted most beside her and said, "So what? I'm... not going to live long."

She could feel the cold eating away at her spirit inch by inch.

She had just woken up for a short time, but she felt extremely tired and exhausted.

"No!" A man's voice came from outside the door.

Mu Rong walked quickly to the bed and held Xu Rongrong in his arms: "Rongrong, you will be fine."

Xu Rongrong lay obediently in his arms and said sullenly, "Yeah."

"Rongrong, come back to Beijing with me tomorrow, okay?"

"Um……"

"Rongrong, let's get married after we return to Beijing, okay?"

"Um……"

Mu Rong lowered his head in disbelief, only to find that the girl in his arms had fallen into a deep sleep again.
