Chapter 303 So that’s how it is
"Like a slave? Why would I want you to be like a slave?" Mu Rong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "You should listen to the doctor's instructions and heal your wounds quickly."
His laughter had a different flavor to Hermione's ears.
Her face flushed as she replied, "As long as the Marquis desires, I will not dare to disobey."
Her hint was so obvious, but Mu Rong said nothing and stood up and walked out.
Soon, Hermey also got on the carriage with the medicine.
As soon as he closed the car door, Mu Rong encountered the most embarrassing moment.
Because at this moment, not far in front of him, stood a woman in a light yellow dress with a half-smile on her face...
"What a coincidence to see you here, Lord Marquis..." Xu Rongrong smiled at the man in front of her, "Is Lord Marquis ill?"
Before Mu Rong could answer, a woman's low cough was heard from the carriage behind him.
"Turns out, it's a girl." Xu Rongrong smiled sweetly.
Mu Rong stepped forward, a hint of embarrassment on his face. "Why is Rongrong here?"
"I was just wandering around the capital with nothing to do, but I didn't expect to run into the Marquis here. The Marquis... is so busy!" She tilted her head and looked at Mu Rong playfully, but the glint in her eyes seemed to see through him. "I wonder which beautiful lady the Marquis is escorting here to seek medical treatment?"
"Is Rongrong jealous?" Mu Rong asked instead of answering.
Xu Rongrong glanced at him and asked, "Could it be that the Marquis has done something to make my daughter jealous?" "No, no!" Mu Rong laughed, "I'm afraid Rongrong will dismiss me as her fiancé."
He looked at Xu Rongrong with burning eyes: "But...if Rongrong could really get jealous for once, I would be very happy too."
Xu Rongrong's cheeks flushed slightly when he said that. She glanced at the carriage not far behind Mu Rong and asked, "Who is that?"
"Princess Lingxi's personal maid, Hermione."
"It's her?" This answer surprised Xu Rongrong. "How did you get together with her?"
Mu Rong: "..."
He subconsciously reached out his hand and tapped Xu Rongrong's forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about."
Then, he explained how Herme was injured on the mountain and how he was asked by the abbot to send someone back to Beijing for medical treatment.
"Oh? My Lord, could you possibly be so kind?" Xu Rongrong asked, tilting her head. "I just wanted to know why there were so many coincidences, but right now, it seems I've found something more important than the truth..." As he spoke, his eyes gleamed as he looked at Xu Rongrong...
"Oh." Xu Rongrong lowered her head and kicked the stones on the ground with her toes.
If she had known it was Herme, she would not have come.
Luo Shu only said that there was a woman in the car, but just this piece of news made her a little... confused.
As the two of them were looking at each other in silence, coughing sounds were heard again in the car.
Then, the carriage curtain was lifted: "The Marquis and the County Lady must have important matters to discuss. I will not disturb you two and will return to the palace first."
Mu Rong didn't even turn his head when he heard this. He just looked at Xu Rongrong and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Rongrong, what do you think? Do you want me to continue?"
Xu Rongrong nodded: "I also want to see who favors the Marquis?"
"No one's favor can compare to Rongrong's." His eyes were burning.
Xu Rongrong lowered her head awkwardly, took a step back, and said loudly, "Since the Marquis insists on this, please go ahead."
Seeing this, Mu Rong smiled helplessly, and then responded: "Since we have rescued Miss Mei, I will definitely escort her into the palace."
Xu Rongrong seemed to be extremely angry and turned around and left.
Mu Rong did not linger at all. He returned to the carriage and jumped on the horse.
Hermei was a little anxious: "I think the county lady must have misunderstood. The county lady is of noble status. It would be bad if she got angry because of a misunderstanding. I'd better go and explain it to the county lady."
Mu Rong sneered, "Don't worry about her. I'll take you back to the palace."
"Yes……"
The carriage started again. It was already late. Looking at Mu Rong's back in the twilight, Hermi felt a sweet feeling in her heart. Although things had not turned out as she had imagined, and she had not been able to enter the Marquis's mansion, the Marquis was willing to personally escort her to the palace...
He even turned against Princess Ping'an because of her! Does this mean... the Marquis has her in his heart?
For a woman, who would be willing to do something as despicable as climbing into bed when being cared for like this?
Just as he was changing his mind, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
Mu Rong ordered the guards to send Herme back to Princess Lingxi's residence in a sedan chair, while he himself went directly to pay a visit to the queen.
Seeing him coming over at this time, the queen was quite surprised.
When Ke heard that it was Eunuch Wang who asked Mu Rong to go to Shaohua Temple to inspect the lamp offerings, she became even more angry and said, "It's just a small matter. How could you take the initiative and ask a great military marquis to make this trip in person?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wang quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! This is all my fault... I have seen Your Majesty unable to sleep these past few days, and I am truly distressed. I have acted without authorization, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
"You deserve to be punished!" The Queen was about to call for help. Seeing this, Mu Rong advised, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Eunuch Wang only resorted to this drastic measure out of concern for you. Besides, I'm on my day off today, so I haven't been delayed in my official duties. Please forgive Eunuch Wang's punishment."
Hearing him say this, the Queen's expression eased slightly: "You... are just too sensible."
After she finished speaking, she glared at Eunuch Wang and said, "Why don't you thank Marquis Weiyuan quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wang immediately kowtowed to Mu Rong and expressed his gratitude.
Mu Rong watched coldly until the other party kowtowed three times, and then he called him up.
Then he glanced at the empress's face, which, though slightly pale, showed no sign of fatigue. He said, "Since there's nothing unusual at Shaohua Temple, Your Majesty needn't worry about it any further. It would be best to ask the imperial physician to carefully treat her and prescribe some prescriptions that calm the mind and strengthen the qi."
"Don't worry, Rong'er, I was much better yesterday."
After chatting for a while, Mu Rong looked at the sky and saw that it was already completely dark, so he prepared to say goodbye:
"Since my mission has been completed, if Your Majesty has no further instructions, I will take my leave."
The Queen was about to answer when she heard a voice from outside: "Princess Lingxi requests an audience."
Upon hearing this, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief, almost inaudible: "Please ask her to come in."
Although the change in the queen's aura only lasted for a moment, Mu Rong still keenly captured it.
original……
She is the one behind the scenes.
Mu Rong lowered his head, his eyes dim and unclear.
With all the coincidences today, what is there to not understand at this point?
The reason why he changed his mind, sent Herme back to the capital for medical consultation, and insisted on sending her back to the palace was to verify this matter.
