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

Chapter 310: Close Heart

Of course, Mu Rong came to Zhuxiang Yayuan not only to make up for the regret of not being able to get close to Xu Rongrong before.

So after teasing the girl in front of him for a while, he stopped.

"It's a beautiful night tonight. Wouldn't it be a shame to stay in the backyard? Rongrong, would you like to go out with me for a walk?"

Xu Rongrong looked up at him, with stars in her eyes.

In the afternoon, when Wen Yao reminded her whether she wanted to visit the Third Prince's Mansion, she did not agree immediately.

The reason is waiting for tonight.

It had been seven days since the Third Prince, Wu Tianxiao, returned to the capital. These days, the Prince's residence was overflowing with guests, and many officials were trying to find ways to visit and make friends with him. When the Crown Prince was in power and competing with the Second Prince, few paid much attention to the quiet Third Prince.

To them, such a prince who had no chance of imperial power was not worth making friends with, even if he had a wife named Weiyuan Hou.

Marquis Weiyuan is the emperor's nephew, and all the princes are his cousins.

The third imperial concubine, Mu Qianyin, was merely a relative of Marquis Weiyuan.

But in just half a year, the situation has completely changed.

Currently, there are only two adult princes: the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince...

Who has the best chance of winning that position? Is there any suspense?

But the third prince today is different from the previous two princes. In the past seven days, except for attending court and meeting matters, he kept the gate of the imperial palace closed at other times. No matter who gathered in front of the door, he would not let anyone in.

The reason was simple—someone was watching him. These past few days, besides those who wanted to visit him, there were also many more people watching him from the door than usual.

These eyes came from all directions, undoubtedly wanting to know who in the Qing court was interacting with the Third Prince, and whether any of them were his political enemies...

Under such circumstances, Xu Rongrong absolutely could not enter the mansion openly.

Regardless of her identity as Princess Ping'an or the fiancée of Marquis Weiyuan, it would be inappropriate for her to approach the Third Prince at this time.

Fortunately, the celebration banquet in the palace is approaching, and the dangerous atmosphere in it is not only felt by her, but also by Mu Rong.

She believed that Mu Rong would definitely come.

What she didn't know was that she had unknowingly tied herself and Mu Rong together.

So she gladly accepted Mu Rong's invitation.

This was the first time Xu Rongrong had walked outside in her night clothes. At this time, the shops on both sides of the street had closed, and only a few merchants who had set up stalls at night were pushing carts slowly forward on the street.

This is very different from Xu Rongrong's understanding in her previous life.

In the last year of her previous life, she missed her return to the city because she went outside the city to look for herbs.

Because of her status as a female member of the Weiyuan Marquis's family, no one stopped her at the city gate, but the guards kept reminding her to go home early and not stay outside.

At night in the capital at that time, not only were there no vendors walking on the streets, but every household would close their doors early and turn off the lights facing the street.

There has never been such a free and easy scene as today.

It would be great if the capital, if the Great Zhou could continue like this.

I hope that in this life there will be no conflict between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and the Fourth Prince’s ambition will be put to an end, so that the people of the Great Zhou can live and work in peace.

The Third Prince is worthy of trust, right?... While Xu Rongrong was still sighing, Mu Rong's arm was always clasped around her waist, and he used his lightness skills to lead her through the streets.

The Third Prince's Mansion was two blocks away from Zhuxiang Yayuan. It would take at least half an hour to get there by carriage during the day, but tonight they arrived at the back door of the palace in just a quarter of an hour.

Mu Rong was a little short of breath. To prevent Xu Rongrong from noticing, he suppressed his turbulent breath, lowered his head, and used his hood to cover Xu Rongrong's face, which was slightly red from the night wind. "Hold me tight."

Then, he took a deep breath, jumped into the palace with Xu Rongrong, and landed steadily in a corner of the backyard of the palace.

Xu Rongrong didn't notice anything unusual about Mu Rong, but seeing him carrying her and easily climbing walls and rooftops, she suddenly said, "My Lord, your ability to climb walls is truly exquisite."

After taking a few breaths, Mu Rong smiled and said, "It's all thanks to Rongrong's good training... After almost a year of climbing the wall under Rongrong's nose, I should have mastered it."

Xu Rongrong: “…” Marquis Weiyuan’s face is really getting thicker and thicker.

She glared at Mu Rong and said, "When you take me back, you must make the walls of Zhuxiang Yayuan another ten feet higher."

"Why bother?" Mu Rong said unconcernedly. "After all, this is Minister Lu's house. How can we start construction so easily? In less than a month, you will be a member of my mansion. If Rongrong finds any part of the wall inappropriate, she can raise it as she pleases."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Just as the girl was speechless, she heard the sound of footsteps in the distance; someone was coming.

When leaving court today, Mu Rong hinted to the third prince Wu Tianxiao that he would visit the mansion tonight, so Wu Tianxiao arranged for people to wait in the backyard early.

The person who came was wearing a light-colored dress and should be a maid.

She walked over gracefully: "This servant greets the Marquis of Weiyuan and the Princess of Ping'an... His Highness and His Majesty are already waiting in the front yard. Please follow me." Mu Rong nodded: "Lead the way."

After saying this, he wrapped Xu Rongrong's small hand in his warm palm and took her hand to follow the maid.

Xu Rongrong was slightly startled, but because there were people around, she did not struggle deliberately.

Because he was going to bring Xu Rongrong to the Third Prince's Mansion today, in order to prevent her from noticing anything unusual, Mu Rong took a pill developed by Shu Qing.

I don’t know how many warming tonics Shu Qing put into this pill. After taking the pill, warmth immediately emanated from all over his body.

He subconsciously used his Qi to explore his breathing...

Sadly, nothing has changed.

Sure enough, this pill can only change the appearance and has no effect on internal strength.

But, this was enough. Being able to hold her hand like this and walk side by side with her was enough for him.

Mu Rong subconsciously turned his head to the side, looking at the girl who was completely unaware, and sighed in his heart.

He didn't know whether he should hope that the sixth day of May would come sooner or later.

After waiting for two lifetimes and thousands of days and nights, he could finally possess her again. He wanted more than ever to hold her in his arms as soon as possible and do whatever he wanted with her.

He hoped that one day he could speak his heart out and tell him about his regrets in two lifetimes.

But thinking about the cold poison in her body and the five years full of unknowns, if Shu Qing couldn't find an antidote, wouldn't he have delayed her life?

But if he is asked to let go, it is absolutely impossible.

Ever since he decided to channel the Ice Sealing Poison from her body to himself, this struggle and contradiction has never stopped.

But as long as he saw her after she recovered, he felt that it was all worth it.

His hands subconsciously intertwined with hers, and while Xu Rongrong was stunned, he strode forward with her.
