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

Chapter 68 Unbelievable

Mu Rong selected a dozen officials serving in the four states of Jiangnan and asked the prince to investigate their backgrounds.

Seeing this, the Third Prince came over and asked, "Brother Rong, why are you so sure there's something wrong with these people?"

Mu Rong returned the list and said, "I'm not sure yet. I need to check it out. But these people are responsible for purchasing, supervising, and inspecting the construction work. It won't hurt to check it out carefully."

Wu Tianao slapped his forehead and said happily, "Brother Rong is really smart! Chang Jing promised me that the prefects of Jiangnan Road were all people he trusted, so I didn't doubt the personnel. But just because the prefects are clean doesn't mean their subordinates are clean!"

He quickly summoned the officials of the Eastern Palace and gave them instructions. Then he smiled and said, "The heavy stone in my heart can finally be lifted off my shoulders!"

The third prince was just about to remind him not to take it lightly.

Mu Rong held him down and shook his head slightly.

The Third Prince's mind was clear: Yes! It's important to go home quickly!

Mu Rong looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window and said with a bow, "Since the Crown Prince has made up his mind, the Third Prince and I will not disturb him any further. We will return home first."

The prince is also a veteran in the love field. How could he not know what Mu Rong is thinking?

He laughed and said, "Look... they haven't even gotten married yet. If they really did, I'm afraid you'd be just like the Third Brother. I'd have to tie you up every time I see you!"

Mu Rong smiled faintly and said nothing, looking out the window, his mind wandering:

I haven't seen her for two days. Is she missing me too?

Maybe... she is looking forward to it?

……

After leaving the Eastern Palace, according to the rules of the royal family, the third prince should leave first.

But as soon as he stepped onto the carriage, he hesitated for a moment and turned back.

He walked up to Mu Rong and said hesitantly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has an erratic personality... I wonder what the court and the world will look like in the future."

Mu Rong smiled faintly: What else can I do? He is incompetent and self-willed. It is only a matter of time before he is brought down.

He looked at the Third Prince and patted his shoulder: "Your Highness, don't worry. The Emperor is in good health. Why should you worry?"

Among the princes, the third prince is not very conspicuous, but he is the one who truly cares about the court and the people.

But thinking of his final end... Mu Rong was determined in his heart: he would never let the third prince go down the same path of no return as in his previous life.

After pacifying the Third Prince, Mu Rong didn't even want to ride in the carriage, and rushed all the way to Xu Mansion with Mu Yi.

In front of the Xu Mansion, Xu Liu, who had been vomiting after being fed the Huanglian medicine, was making her final struggle: "Xu Rongrong, how dare you do this to me."

Xu Rongrong said calmly, "Madam, please don't wrongly accuse me. It was my father who ordered you to go to the ancestral temple and reflect on your sins immediately. I dare not disobey him..."

"I'll wait for him to come back and ask him in person!" Xu Liu yelled.

"Father should have finished his duty and returned home by now, but he hasn't come back today... Madam, don't you know why? Why are you struggling in vain? I'm doing this for your own good. The sooner you go, the sooner you can come back. When father's anger has subsided, he can arrange good marriages for Second Sister and Min Sister, and then you can come back and arrange it for them." Xu Liu stood there in a daze.

Xu Rongrong is threatening her with the marriage of her two daughters...

She pointed at Xu Rongrong, her face filled with disbelief. "You...you're so cruel! I'm the mistress of the Xu Mansion, how dare you treat me like this! Are you so sure that the Marquis of Weiyuan will always value you like this?"

This was exactly what Mu Rong heard when he dismounted in front of Xu's mansion.

Without waiting for Xu Rongrong's reply, he stepped forward with a smile and said, "How can you guess what I will do?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Liu's attire:

"What? Are we going to the family temple?"

"This kind of shameful matter must be done under cover of darkness. If Madam Xu doesn't leave now, it will be dawn soon."

"Mu Yi, give her a ride."

He spoke rapidly, leaving no room for Xu Liu to interrupt.

Mu Yi stepped forward and knocked Xu Liu unconscious with a palm strike while she was staring at him in a daze.

Everyone in front of Xu's house: "..."

In the end, Xu Liu was stuffed sideways into a carriage and driven out of the capital.

The gate of the Xu Mansion was finally clear, and Xu Rongrong knelt down and expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, my Lord."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

Mu Rong took two quick steps and followed closely.

Xu Rongrong turned around and looked at him: "It's getting late, and it's inconvenient for the Xu Mansion to keep guests. Please go back, my lord."

"I've done you such a big favor, can't you let me stay a little longer?" Mu Rong said with a bitter face, "I've been summoned to the Eastern Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince these past two days. I haven't been eating or sleeping well, and I haven't even had my medicine changed. My wound is hurting right now." Xu Rongrong gritted her teeth and said, "Come in."

Mu Rong was overjoyed and followed Xu Rongrong into the flower hall on the second gate.

Wen Yao brought the medicine for the wound. Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong and said, "Take it off."

Mu Rong: "?? Here?"

Is it so unexpected?

Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Didn't the Marquis say that the medicine hasn't been changed in two days?"

Mu Rong quickly took off his shirt, revealing his strong muscles in front of Xu Rongrong.

She didn't care about it at all. She bent down to remove the bandage for him. When the wound gradually became visible, she frowned: "You lied to me?"

Seeing that she was about to get angry, Mu Rong quickly grabbed her hand and said, "If I didn't make myself sound more pitiful, why would you let me in?" Xu Rongrong was speechless and said angrily, "My Lord! You are a top-ranking general of the Great Zhou! How...how could you try this childish trick!"

Mu Rong was unconcerned: "So what if he's a first-rank general? A general of any higher rank is just an ordinary man in front of my young lady."

"You and I are not married."

"What's the difference between His Majesty granting a marriage and getting married?" Mu Rong looked at her with a smile.

Xu Rongrong was unwilling to argue with him. Since the wound was already exposed, she naturally couldn't just leave it alone. She had to pick up a piece of plaster with her fingertips and spread it on.

As she applied the medicine, she asked, "It's so urgent over at the East Palace, could something have happened?"

Mu Rong replied, "The Crown Prince is worried that Chang Jing will be affected by the flood, and he is simply uneasy."

"Isn't this matter already settled?" She was lowering her head to change the dressing. Mu Rong could just see her small chin and the movement of her red lips. His Adam's apple rolled involuntarily, and he spoke in a hoarse voice: "After all, this matter affects the people's livelihood. Naturally, he dare not slack off."

In order to distract her attention, he had no choice but to patiently tell Xu Rongrong in detail how he suspected someone had tampered with the four states in the south of the Yangtze River.

After he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong took the handkerchief and wiped her fingertips: "Okay, my lord, you can go now."

Mu Rong: “???…”

Xu Rongrong sneered, "Now that the medicine has been replaced, what excuse do you have?"

Mu Rong was helpless. It was already late and Xu Rongrong also looked tired.

No matter how reluctant he was, he had to leave in embarrassment.

The smell of medicine lingered in the flower hall for a long time.

Xu Rongrong seemed oblivious, lost in her own thoughts. In her previous life, she hadn't been privy to the affairs of the imperial court, but she vaguely remembered the epidemic that had suddenly broken out two months later and spread across the country.

It is often said that a major epidemic will follow a major disaster, but in the medical skills she learned, there was no record of an epidemic breaking out several months after a disaster.

Since the flood may be caused by human beings.

So...is it also the case with epidemics?

She called Luo Shu over and said, "Tomorrow, go find Luo Chen and ask him to find out which pharmacies and doctors in the capital are good at treating epidemic diseases."

Seeing the lady's serious expression, Luo Shu immediately agreed.

In the bushes outside the flower hall, Chu Yun, avoiding Weiyuan Hou, had been standing there.

At this moment, his face was full of disbelief.

It turns out... she was also reborn!
