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

Chapter 278 Detoxification for Her

"How long has it been since you last saw Mu Ai?"

Xu Rongrong's question was so sudden that Wen Yao was a little confused. But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she had not seen him for quite some time, so she replied, "It's been a month and a half. I heard that the Marquis sent him to the army."

One and a half months? Xu Rongrong thought to herself, this coincided with the day Chu He left Beijing.

Could it be that the other group mentioned in the letter is Mu Ai...

But if it really is Mu Ai, he must have been assigned by Mu Rong.

But...what's the deeper meaning behind Mu Rong sending Mu Ai to escort Chu He?

Could it be that Mu Rong also thought Chu He's trip was dangerous? Chu He was going to Southern Xinjiang to escort the Southern Xinjiang envoys under the order of His Majesty, and he was accompanying the Imperial Guards. From the perspective of ordinary people, there was certainly no danger, let alone the need for an escort like Mu Ai, the first deputy general of Weiyuan Hou.

Only someone like her who knew about the conflicts between Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou in the previous life would worry about Chu He's safety.

Xu Rongrong's heart sank.

Wen Yao keenly sensed his young lady's mood change, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, I was just asking." Xu Rongrong smiled and shook her head, then said, "It's getting late, I'm a little tired, you should go back to bed early too."

Wen Yao and Luo Shu nodded, helped their young lady wash up, tucked in the quilt and lowered the curtains, then left.

Ever since they moved to Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong had not allowed them to keep watch at night. At first, the two were unwilling, but Xu Rongrong persuaded them to just stay in the next room and if anything happened, she could just shout. Seeing that their mistress was so determined, the two maids had no choice but to agree.

As time went by, they gradually got used to it, but they didn't notice that before they knew it, they were no longer like the servants who sold themselves into the mansion and served their masters closely all the time...

The lights gradually dimmed, and even though Xu Rongrong still had many doubts in her mind, she could not resist the strong weariness.

Half asleep, she felt a cool breath enveloping her, and then a warmth on the back of her neck, and she fell completely asleep.

Looking at the defenseless sleeping face of the girl in front of him, Mu Rong curled up the corners of his mouth slightly. He slowly leaned over and kissed the girl on the forehead.

When he felt the warm touch, he felt his heart was filled up.

After taking off his outer shirt, he carefully sat on Xu Rongrong's bed, and then held the girl whose sleeping acupoints had been pressed in his arms.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he placed his palm on the back of Xu Rongrong and slowly injected his internal energy.

As expected, the internal energy dissipated just as quickly as it did a few days ago...

So he quickly adjusted his internal breath, trying to draw that power to himself.

In just a cup of tea, his clothes were soaked, but he had only completed less than 20% of the task.

This poison is more difficult than he imagined...

But Xu Rongrong's palms were obviously much warmer than before, so it seemed that his method could be used.

So, he adjusted his internal energy again and, following the previous method, absorbed the ice-sealing poison into his body bit by bit.

It was not until the east gradually brightened that he slowly came out of Xu Rongrong's room.

At this moment, his face was pale and his lips seemed to be frozen.

Mu Lu had been guarding the roof all night. When he saw his master appear, he swooped down and supported him.

But he was frightened by the coldness around Mu Rong: "Master, how could this happen?"

"Go back...to the mansion..." Mu Rong only had time to utter these two words before he fell into the arms of his subordinate.

Mu Lu did not dare to delay. He carried the Marquis and used his lightness skills for a while before coming to the horse hidden in the alley. Then he rode away towards the Marquis' Mansion.

……

Knowing that Mu Rong would detoxify Xu Rongrong that night, Shu Qing settled Luo Xiao's mother and daughter early and went to the Marquis' Mansion to prepare.

A decoction of Sanguisorba officinalis was simmering on the stove, and then a whole bucket of cold-relieving herbs was soaked.

Mu Rong's detoxification of Xu Rongrong was a top secret, because as soon as Mu Lu brought the person back, he went straight into the inner room.

Even though Shu Qing was mentally prepared, he was still surprised to see Mu Rong like this: he didn't expect that the ice-sealing poison that he had already cured once could still be so powerful.

They didn't even have time to take off their clothes before putting Mu Rong directly into the medicine barrel, and Shu Qing poured the medicine into Mu Rong's body.

The ice chips on Mu Rong's forehead disappeared visibly, turned into water, and slid down his cheeks.

While Mu Lu was wiping his own Marquis's face, he cautiously asked Shu Qing, "Mr. Shu... Is the Marquis okay?"

This little guard has always been a lively person and seldom uses such a serious address. It can be seen that he is really frightened by the appearance of the Marquis at this moment. At this moment, not only he wants to know, but even Mu Yi who is standing next to him has a look of anticipation on his face.

Shu Qing sighed almost inaudibly.

Mu Rong is a first-rank military marquis of the Great Zhou. Although he is currently living in harmony with his neighbors, if people knew that he has very little internal energy left and is still suffering from the cold poison, I am afraid that the current stable situation will be broken.

But if that were to happen, the world would only blame Xu Rongrong, saying that her beauty had brought disaster upon the Marquis of Weiyuan. Therefore, the harm caused by his introducing the cold poison into his body was known only to him and Shu Qing.

Shu Qing looked at the two pairs of expectant eyes in front of him and nodded: "Don't worry, the Marquis has deep internal strength and nothing will happen. For the next month, just take a medicinal bath every day to drive away the cold."

Mu Yi and Mu Lu breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Don't worry, Mr. Shu. I will prepare a medicinal bath for the Marquis every day." Mu Yi said.

Shu Qing nodded. He was not good at lying, so he had to lower his head and pretend to take Mu Rong's pulse to avoid those two burning gazes.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

In Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong slept soundly and did not wake up until noon.

Wen Yao heard the noise and entered the room with a glass of hot water, only to find her mistress sitting by the bed, lost in thought. "My mistress slept in late today, but why do I seem so distracted?"

Xu Rongrong raised her head when she heard this: "I just feel like something is strange about me today."

Wen Yao was startled, thinking something was amiss, so she hurried over. However, what she saw was her young lady's cheeks, which were much rosier than before, and her lips were no longer as dark as before. "What's wrong, young lady? Why do I feel like you look much better than before?"

"I also feel more comfortable than before, even..." She raised her hand and held the back of Wen Yao's hand.

"Young lady's hands are so warm!" Wen Yao exclaimed in surprise. She kneaded Xu Rongrong's palm repeatedly, extremely excited. "That's great! Doctor Shu said earlier that the cold condition needs to be slowly recuperated. I didn't expect it to be healed so quickly!"

Wen Yao's cheeks flushed with excitement, and this look also infected Xu Rongrong.

She smiled and said, "Sure enough, sleeping in occasionally is very beneficial to the body and mind."

Although Xu Rongrong finished speaking with a smile, her eyes were fixed on the stack of tea sets on the table.

She remembered that she had personally arranged the tea set before going to bed yesterday, but now it was slightly shifted... So she asked, "Did you and Luo Shu come to my room last night?"
