Chapter 110 When Can I Have Her?
The next morning, Wen Yao, under the pretext of being the county lady, went to the main hall of the government office to look for Magistrate Wu.
"Prefect Wu knows that I came to Yuzhou this time to look for someone."
Magistrate Wu nodded and said, "Does the county lady have a portrait? I can check it for you."
Wen Yao smiled and said, "I won't bother you with the search for someone, Your Excellency. My maidservant lost a token when she was carrying it up the mountain. Please, Your Excellency, arrange for two yamen runners to guard the entrance to the mountain. If anyone comes up or down, please help me find out."
"This is a simple matter!" Magistrate Wu called over his advisor, "Go find four honest and reliable men to guard the foot of Yushan Mountain."
Wen Yao saw this, thanked him, and returned to the elegant residence. This was also because of Xu Rongrong's instructions.
The Moonlight Grass has been handed over to Shu Qing, and I believe the antidote will be prepared soon.
The most urgent task is to prevent someone from poisoning again.
Therefore, asking the prefect of Yuzhou to go out and defend Yushan is the best way when they are currently short of manpower.
In addition, because Mu Ai was injured, Mu Lu took on the role of patrolling on both sides of the Yu River.
They can only truly relax after the patients in the city are completely detoxified.
……
Two days later, there were no more patients with high fever in Yuzhou City.
Even patients who had already entered the second stage of the disease began to improve.
Shu Qing exclaimed in admiration: "This Bright Moon Grass is truly a miraculous medicine!" Luo Xiao smiled and said, "Our county lady is truly an extraordinary woman."
Hearing this, Luo Yuqi pestered her mother: "I want to be like the county lady and become a remarkable woman in the future!"
Just like that, the previous gloomy and doomed atmosphere in Yuzhou City was swept away.
However, in just a few days, it became full of vitality again.
At night, people gathered on both sides of the Yu River to release river lanterns, and several families lit Kongming lanterns.
Xu Rongrong sat in the elegant residence, watching the Kongming lanterns flying away above her head, and suddenly she felt a sense of security and peace.
Seeing her infatuated gaze following the lanterns, not knowing whose house they were from, Mu Rong had an idea.
Soon, he reappeared in front of Xu Rongrong.
"What is the Marquis doing?" Xu Rongrong looked at him.
Mu Rong held up the Kongming lantern he had just made and said, "Since you like it, I made one for you."
Xu Rongrong took it. Perhaps because it was made in a hurry, this Kongming lantern was not exquisite. The plain white paper wrapped around the thin bamboo strips looked very simple.
But on each side, two words were written in vigorous and powerful strokes: Health.
This is what Mu Rong most wanted to say to Xu Rongrong.
He wanted to keep her healthy for the rest of her life.
His worries were written on his face and in his eyes.
Xu Rongrong knew immediately. She lowered her head and whispered, "I heard that making a wish while releasing a Kongming lantern is the most effective way to express your wishes. Does the Marquis have any paper and pen?"
Soon, paper and pen were provided.
As Xu Rongrong picked up the pen, she glanced at Mu Rong.
The latter turned away tactfully.
Xu Rongrong bit the pen. If she had to say a wish... her biggest wish in this life was to stay away from the capital and away from the person in front of her.
If fate can really go according to her wishes, then let her wish come true.
She wrote on the paper: In this life alone, there is no trace of the past.
After writing, she rolled it into a ball and clamped it on the inner wall of the Kongming lantern.
Mu Rong heard the noise and turned around with a smile: "Have you made your wish?"
Xu Rongrong nodded.
Mu Rong didn't ask her what wish she made. He knew she wouldn't tell him at this moment. He simply looked up at the sky.
"Come on! I'll take you to light the lanterns."
"Where are you going..." Xu Rongrong didn't finish her words.
Mu Rong held the lantern in one hand and her in the other, and flew up to the roof. The breeze on the roof was perfect for lighting the lantern.
Mu Rong tightened her cloak and said with a smile, "Can this lantern of yours bring me a wish?"
Xu Rongrong looked at him and said, "This lamp was made by the Marquis, why ask me?"
Mu Rong took out the note he had prepared long ago. There were only four words on the paper: I will never let you down in this life.
After Mu Rong put the note away, he lit the Kongming lantern with a tinderbox, then held Xu Rongrong's hand, and the two of them released the lantern together.
A cold wind suddenly blew from somewhere, causing the Kongming lantern to shake.
Xu Rongrong was startled and exclaimed: "Don't..."
Fortunately, the lanterns made by Mu Rong himself, although not very beautiful, were extremely sturdy.
Even though it swayed back and forth in the cold wind, it still flew steadily away. Xu Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Rong looked at her: "That wish, is it important?"
Xu Rongrong nodded.
Mu Rong raised his head, looked at the Kongming lanterns that were gradually disappearing into the distance, and murmured, "Don't worry, Rongrong will definitely make it happen."
The moonlight made their figures overlap, stretch, and entwine with each other.
Another gust of wind blew by, and Xu Rongrong shuddered.
Mu Rong subconsciously hugged her in his arms.
Xu Rongrong was startled at first, then she broke free: "It's windy here, let's go down."
She had just taken the tranquilizing soup prescribed by Shu Qing and was feeling a little sleepy.
Although Mu Rong was reluctant to leave, he also couldn't bear to let his little girl suffer from the cold here.
After wrapping Xu Rongrong's cloak tightly, he held her horizontally in his arms and jumped off the roof before she could react.
At this time, people were coming and going in the elegant house.
Xu Rongrong was a little embarrassed and struggled to get down.
Unexpectedly, Mu Rong hugged her tighter and said, "Don't worry, they can't see you."
His little girl was thin and small, and was wrapped in a cloak, so the servants in the elegant residence naturally could not see her face.
But if she insists on coming down, that’s another matter.
Mu Rong was sure that she didn't want to show herself in this state, so he carried her and walked into the backyard.
Xu Rongrong rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady heartbeat.
It was a completely different feeling from my previous life.
It had frightened her in her past life, but today, it made her feel a little relieved.
In his arms, she could just look up and see the crescent moon. The moonlight shone down from above his head, just like at the bottom of the cliff, dispelling the uneasiness in her heart.
Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too beautiful, or perhaps it was because Shu Qing's tranquilizing soup took effect, but when Mu Rong brought Xu Rongrong back to the room, the girl in his arms was completely motionless.
It was not until he entered the house that he discovered that Xu Rongrong had fallen asleep in his arms...
This discovery surprised and delighted him.
This was the first time she had completely let down her guard.
Does that mean that she has begun to accept herself?
Mu Rong didn't dare to think too much. This discovery made him even more cautious.
He laid the girl steadily on the bed and covered her with a quilt.
Perhaps it was because she felt a little uncomfortable after leaving his warm embrace, the girl whimpered and frowned. She turned over and snuggled into the soft quilt, looking for the peace that she was familiar with.
Mu Rong just sat beside the bed, quietly looking at the girl's sleeping face.
How long must he wait before he can truly hold her in his arms?
To truly possess her...
