Chapter 48 She Wants to Make Some Changes

After experiencing two lives, Xu Rongrong felt free for the first time.

In her previous life, she was not always locked up in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion. Mu Rong didn't care about her, and Yi Changshi and other servants naturally didn't ask about her, so she occasionally went out of the mansion.

Sometimes he would go to collect medical books, and occasionally he would go to the suburbs to look for some herbs to plant in his own yard.

But no matter which time, she had never felt as relaxed and free as she did today.

Although she was not yet able to gallop at full speed at her current level, she was already intoxicated by being able to freely control the direction and command the little white horse under her crotch to gallop towards the sunshine.

Even as night fell, she was still not satisfied. Mu Rong did not rush her, but followed her closely with a smile on his face.

When she was riding unsteadily, he took action in time to protect her.

It was not until she returned to the camp that Xu Rongrong discovered a new problem.

She had kept her legs clasped tightly to the horse's sides for the entire afternoon, her body in a state of intense tension, and therefore could not get off the horse at this moment.

Seeing her strange expression, Mu Rong knew what was going on at a glance, so he swung his leg sideways in front of her and landed lightly.

This made Xu Rongrong anxious and angry.

"Do you need me to carry you down?" Mu Rong smiled leisurely.

Xu Rongrong didn't want him to get what he wanted, but if she relied on herself...

Forget it! She simply spurred her horse towards the stable.

She just doesn't believe that she can't find anyone to help!

"So stubborn!" Mu Rong muttered with a smile, then jumped up and carried her off the horse.

Xu Rongrong glared at him.

Mu Rong smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Xu Rongrong: "..." She just stood up, but her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Mu Rong reacted quickly and took her into his arms.

It felt so good to hold such a warm and soft girl in my arms. Mu Rong looked down at her and said, "If someone saw you like this, they would probably think too much."

Xu Rongrong's legs were shaking uncontrollably.

She thought of Mu Qianyin's appearance in the afternoon, and her pretty face turned red, as if water could drip out.

She glared at Mu Rong fiercely, but this harmless look had a different kind of sentiment in Mu Rong's eyes.

It seems that what is recorded in the book "Seventy-two Ways to Chase Your Wife" is not false.

Mu Rong decided to keep it for a while. ...

On the way back to the tent from the stable, Xu Rongrong relied entirely on Wen Yao for support.

The little girl had been guarding outside the stable since the beginning of the evening. Seeing her mistress's appearance, she was a little annoyed: "Miss, please take care of yourself. This is your first time riding a horse, please be more cautious."

Xu Rongrong said weakly: "When you get on the horse in the future, you will naturally be reluctant to get off."

Wen Yao turned her head away proudly: "I won't do that."

After finally reaching the couch, Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief: "It really is more comfortable to lie down!"

Wen Yao shook his head silently, took out the ointment, and rubbed it gently on Xu Rongrong. She muttered, "I heard people say that it will be more painful tomorrow."

"Don't you expect me to be well?"

"In my opinion, you should let Miss suffer a little to see if you will still be so unrestrained in the future."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The master and servant were arguing when Mu Rong came to deliver medicine.

He waited outside the tent without entering. When Wen opened the door, he handed over the medicine bottle: "This is a good ointment that can soothe the muscles and bones."

Wen Yao didn't take it. She glanced at the medicine bottle in Mu Rong's hand, then at her own half-used bottle of ointment. She said with a hint of pride, "Our young lady mixed it herself, so it might be better."

Mu Rong: "..."

……

Xu Rongrong slept very well that night.

She dreamed of herself galloping on horseback, her breath filled with the fragrance of fragrant grass.

The next day, she couldn't get up...

When she came back last night, her legs were sore and swollen that she could not bear it, so Wen Yao helped her rub them for a long time. When she woke up today, her legs felt fine, but the pain in her waist and back made her realize that she had been careless last night.

When Mu Qianyin came to visit her in the evening, she was still half lying on the couch with a sad face.

Mu Qianyin looked at her embarrassed appearance and was overjoyed: "Look at you like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch the good show tomorrow."

Xu Rongrong showed little interest: "What's going on tomorrow?"

"This is your first time at the hunting grounds, so you didn't know there's a competition held annually at the hunting palace, where His Majesty himself participates. The princes draw lots to choose their general partners, and then two teams hunt in the hunting grounds, with the winner determined by the number of prey they catch. While the winning team doesn't receive any special rewards, it's still an honor, so the annual competition is very fierce."

"I see." Xu Rongrong nodded secretly, but she was thinking about something else.

In the booklet she recorded, there was a page with a few words about this hunting trip: At the end of August in the seventeenth year of Jingyuan, the emperor fell off his horse during a hunting trip in the southern suburbs, and the crown prince Wu Tianao was imprisoned in the Eastern Palace for half a year.

There is another record below: In early September, General Liao Feng of the Southern Camp was dismissed from office for no reason.

The two events were recorded separately because, in her unclear recollection, they seemed unrelated.

But Mu Qianyin's words just now made a flash of thought flash through Xu Rongrong's mind.

Could it be that the emperor's fall from his horse was related to the crown prince and General Liao?

Could it be that the Crown Prince and General Liao have joined forces to murder the Emperor?

Soon this fleeting thought disappeared from her mind. The Crown Prince Wu Tianao she met in this life did not seem like someone who would kill his father and his king. Could it be that he had such courage in his previous life?

Thinking of the sword-fighting battle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince in the previous life, it seemed to have started from this hunting palace trip.

During the six months the Crown Prince had been confined to the Eastern Palace, the Second Prince had already eliminated half of his loyal officials, and those in important positions had been replaced. Even a minor official like my father, a sixth-rank official, was discussing the situation at court with great interest, which only gave an idea of ​​the widespread impact of this matter.

She looked at Mu Qianyin quietly, who was telling her with a smile on his face how dazzling the third prince was during the competition.

If the emperor had not fallen from his horse and the prince had not been imprisoned in the Eastern Palace, would everything have been different?

Can Sister Mu and the Third Prince survive together?

But how to do it?

If what Sister Mu said is true, tomorrow is the day of the competition, then there is not much time left to save the situation.

As a woman, she did not have any lofty ambitions to change history. She only wished for the well-being of the people and her friends.

But she was of low status and her words were not influential. It was simply a fantasy for her to meet the emperor directly and persuade him not to compete tomorrow.

What if it is through female relatives?

The Empress and Consort Shu were accompanying the hunt. Consort Shu was related to the wife of Marquis Changxing, but her death was indirectly caused by her, so Consort Shu's path to becoming a concubine was definitely blocked.

So what about the queen?

She looked at the gradually darkening sky outside the tent, then looked at Mu Qianyin thoughtfully: "Sister Mu, is it almost time for the morning and evening visits to the Empress?"

Mu Qianyin, who was beaming with joy: "..." Oh no, she almost forgot!

Xu Rongrong tilted her head and looked at her: "Sister Mu, can you take me with you? Since entering the hunting palace, I haven't paid my respects to the Empress yet."
