PNB Chapter 260 Is it you? Mu Rong
Chapter 260 Is it you? Mu Rong
Chapter 260 Is it you? Mu Rong
In order to dispel Xu Rongrong's suspicion, Mu Rong endured the discomfort and ate the Yunhua cake, and even risked his life to take the arrow that almost killed him!
Since then, Xu Rongrong never showed any doubt about him again.
In recent days, he has been cautious in everything he does, and his confidence has not been exposed at all.
But now...
She finally began to doubt again.
I guess it was because of her own arrangements in the court, as well as the completely different endings of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince compared to their previous lives, that made her notice the weirdness.
Looking at her inquiring eyes, he actually had too many words in his mind.
The moonlight was just right tonight, so beautiful that for a moment he wanted to tell her everything.
But in the end, he suppressed all the words he had to say and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Rongrong, do you think my arrangements are not good?"
"Of course not. The Marquis has arranged everything so well..." Xu Rongrong replied. "The meticulous planning and thoroughness of the arrangements give me the illusion that the Marquis has had some kind of opportunity to know how the court situation will develop, and that's why he made all the necessary preparations in advance."
Mu Rong: "..."
He looked deeply at the girl in front of him, and as she spoke, the wariness in his eyes reappeared. This wariness also made him completely give up the idea of telling the truth. Seeing that the wedding date was approaching, he didn't want to let everything fall through.
So, he smiled and leaned over, pecking the corner of Xu Rongrong's mouth before she could react. "If that's the case, I will definitely ask fate to arrange for Rongrong and I to meet earlier, so as to ease the pain of missing her for so many years."
Although he used this topic to distract her, what he just said was indeed his true feelings.
How great it would be if he could be reborn back to the age of thirteen, to the day when Xu Rongrong first left the house to ask him for help!
Neither he nor she has to go through the torture of two lifetimes.
He will love her, cherish her and pamper her.
And she will see his true heart when she first falls in love with him, instead of constantly doubting whether he will hurt her again like she does now.
Xu Rongrong was pecked by him unexpectedly. She subconsciously took a half step back and glared at him: "We were talking about the affairs of the court. Why are you bringing me into this?"
Seeing she wasn't fooled, were these little tricks really no longer able to disturb her mind? Mu Rong chuckled to himself and said seriously, "Rongrong just said that in order to help Third Brother, I must make arrangements in advance. In the palace, Third Brother is not the most favored prince by His Majesty, nor is he the one who is least good at calculating people's hearts. And in the court, to avoid suspicion, he never cultivates his own power. If I want to help him, if I don't pay attention to every detail like I do now, how can I fight against those evil-minded monsters?"
"Really?" Xu Rongrong asked suspiciously, "Then how..."
Then how come...in your previous life, did you and he have such an ending?
But Xu Rongrong couldn't ask this question.
Mu Rong knew what she wanted to ask, so he deliberately asked, "What?"
Xu Rongrong coughed lightly and turned her head away: "Nothing..."
She chose silence.
Under the same bright moon, the two people had different thoughts. After walking in the yard for another half a minute, Xu Rongrong subconsciously rubbed the back of her hands.
Mu Rong frowned slightly when he saw this, then said, "The night wind is picking up, Rongrong should go back to the room first."
"Yeah." Xu Rongrong nodded.
After walking her to the door, Wen Yao and Luo Shu accompanied her back to her room.
Mu Rong looked at the girl's back as she slowly walked in, his expression gradually becoming serious:
After dinner, they walked in the yard for more than half an hour. Others would have been sweating slightly, but his little girl was still cold all over.
Tonight, I don’t know how she will get through it, and I don’t know whether Zhuxiang Yayuan has made all the necessary preparations.
After Wen Yao helped Xu Rongrong lie down, he pushed the door open and walked out.
Seeing Mu Rong still standing in the courtyard, she was a little surprised: "The young lady has already gone to bed, why hasn't the marquis left yet?"
Mu Rong didn't answer but asked, "Did your family prepare ginger syrup for the young lady?"
Wen Yao replied, "It's already prepared. I'll go get it from the kitchen right away."
"Have you prepared a hot water bottle?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yao finally understood why the Marquis had stayed. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Marquis. Madam Xiao has already made all the arrangements! The young lady's bed is already warm, and there's even a hot water bottle for her to hold while she sleeps. It will definitely help her sleep well."
Mu Rong nodded: "That's good."
After saying that, he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Luo Shu came out of the room. She looked at Wen Yao standing under the eaves in a daze: "What's wrong? Didn't you go to the kitchen to get ginger sugar water for the young lady? Why are you still standing here?"
Wen Yao came back to her senses and told Mu Rong what he had just told her: "...I didn't expect that a man like the Marquis would even know all this. I'm sure he will treat the young lady very well after the wedding."
Luo Shu smiled and said, "Of course. If he were not good, our young lady would definitely not marry him!"
……
At midnight, the entire Zhuxiang Yayuan fell into silence.
In order to prevent his young lady from needing someone to serve her tonight, Wen Yao held the mattress and kept watch in the outer room.
A gust of wind blew by, and she felt a numbness and tingling at the back of her neck, then she leaned over and fell asleep.
The wind transformed into a black figure, passed by her and went into the inner room.
Behind the dark blue curtains was Xu Rongrong's face, which seemed to be sleeping uneasy. Her teeth were gently biting her lips, her brows were deeply furrowed, and her body was twitching intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing this, Mu Rong hurriedly jumped onto the bed and said: He knew it!
After last night's embarrassment, he returned home and immediately went into his study. He looked through the medical books his mother had left behind and found a record of a woman's menarche. He knew that the two days before menarche were the most difficult for women. Furthermore, Xu Rongrong's body had just been freed from the cold poison that had sealed her acupuncture points, and her body was even weaker and colder than that of an average woman. He thought tonight would be doubly uncomfortable!
Therefore, he did not leave, but waited until late at night when everyone was asleep, and then used his internal energy to relieve her pain.
He placed the palm of his right hand against her lower abdomen, and as soon as he exerted force, his expression instantly became extremely cold.
He stared at Xu Rongrong for a moment, then concentrated his energy again...
Xu Rongrong was originally suffering from abdominal cramps and felt weak all over, but she fell into a dream and could not speak.
While she was struggling, she suddenly felt a familiar warm current flowing in, slowly dispelling her pain.
After an incense stick of time, her pale face regained its rosy color and she opened her eyes with some difficulty.
In the haze, she seemed to see a familiar face. She raised her right hand slightly and whispered, "Mu Rong...is that you?"
The man seemed startled, but did not answer. She wanted to take a closer look, but could not resist the gradually coming fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.
As his right hand dropped, he subconsciously grabbed the ornament on the other person's waist, pulled off a jade bead and quietly held it in his palm.
