After rebirth, my mother came to power based on her son.

The mother and daughter were talking, and the maid came to report that the housekeeper was here.

Mu Qingge invited the housekeeper in and saw several maids following the housekeeper, all of whom were holding gift boxes in their hands.

"What is this doing?"

The housekeeper greeted Shen Weilan and Mu Qingge before saying with a smile: "These are gifts prepared by the master. The master said that today's incident with the eldest lady is thanks to Prince Ning's rescue, so the eldest lady is safe and sound. "

"I can't thank you for such a great favor, so I have prepared some thank you gifts and asked the young lady to take the gifts to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow to say thank you."

Shen Weilan nodded when he heard this: "That's true. Fortunately, there is Prince Ning. Otherwise, it would be unthinkable, so I should be grateful."

"Okay." Mu Qingge frowned, but she was going to express her gratitude tomorrow, so why did she send the gift to her today: "I'll go alone tomorrow?"

"The master has to go to court tomorrow, and after that he has to go to the Household Department to deal with important matters. He really can't spare the time, and my wife is in confinement, so I can only trouble the eldest lady to go there by herself. But don't worry, eldest lady, I will definitely go with you."

Mu Qingge always felt that this thing was a little weird, but she couldn't explain why it was weird, so she had to agree first, stood up, and took the housekeeper to put the gift in her room.

In the evening, Mu Qingge took a rest early, but suddenly heard something moving in the night.

Mu Qingge was awakened and listened attentively for a while. The sound seemed to be coming from the window. Something was tapping on the window, once and for all, very rhythmically.

Anyone?

But Qingxue was sleeping in the penthouse next to her, but there was no movement.

Mu Qingge had some vague suspicions in her mind, so she quietly stood up, walked to the window barefoot, and suddenly opened the window.

Sure enough it was him.

The man stood by the window, tapping the edge of the window carelessly with his fingers. When he heard the sound of the window opening, he turned around and looked at Mu Qingge. He only glanced at Mu Qingge, but his eyes went beyond Mu Qingge. The light from the lantern in the corridor fell on the pile of gift boxes placed on the table in the room.

Mu Qingge noticed his gaze and curled her lips: "You should have been in that dense forest during the day? You should know that Prince Ning rushed out and rescued me. These were all prepared by my father for Prince Ning. Thanks for the gift, let me deliver it to Prince Ning’s Mansion tomorrow.”

Li Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth: "Thank you? Is this the only way to thank you for saving your life?"

"Mu Shangshu didn't ask Miss Mu to give her life to you?"

Mu Qingge looked confused: "Promise me with my body? Why do you want me to promise you with my body?"

Li Xiao smiled half-heartedly: "It seems you don't know yet?"

"You know that Prince Ning has his own mansion, right? He is the only master in the mansion now?"

"You are a woman who has just grown hair and is of marriageable age. You ran to Prince Ning's Mansion alone without any elders in your family. Do you know what it means?"

Mu Qingge frowned: "I'm afraid most people in the entire imperial city already know that Prince Ning rescued me from the bandits today. It's reasonable for me to go to the door to say thank you."

"Yes." Li Xiao nodded and smiled: "It makes sense."

"But after Prince Ning sent you back to his mansion in the afternoon, Mu Changyun told the housekeeper that this was an opportunity to marry you to Prince Ning."

"Although Prince Ning's mother died young, his grandfather is the prime minister and holds a high position of power, and he is still the legitimate prince no matter what."

"If you can marry Prince Ning and give birth to a son and a half daughters, he can, together with the prime minister, crown your child as emperor."

Mu Qingge's eyes widened when he heard this: "How is that possible?"

But although she asked this question, she believed most of Li Xiao's words in her heart.

After all, based on her understanding of Mu Changyun, Mu Changyun was indeed able to do such a thing and come up with such an idea.

So this is ah.

No wonder Mu Changyun suddenly and uncharacteristically brought so many things to her to deliver to Prince Ning's Mansion. She had seen the contents inside before, including precious supplements and precious jades.

No wonder he insisted on letting her go alone.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath: "You know my situation. Although no one else knows except you and me, there is no way to cover up what happened before."

"And maybe I still have your child in my belly."

"It's impossible for me to get married normally."

Li Xiao looked at Mu Qingge's belly.

"But how are you going to tell Mu Changyun?"

Mu Qingge bit her lip and was silent for a long time: "I can't tell him about that."

She didn't want to experience the reality she had experienced in her previous life again.

"I will go to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow, but I will try to have as little contact with Prince Ning as possible. When I come back, I will tell my father that Prince Ning doesn't like me and doesn't want me to disturb him anymore."

"Really?" Li Xiao lowered his eyes with a confused expression: "Actually, I think that if you want to hide your relationship with me, it would be a good idea to marry Prince Ning."

"After all, Prince Ning is a lunatic. You can stimulate him to get sick during the wedding night and pretend that you are having a relationship with him when he is getting sick, and he won't know."

"Also, although Prince Ning is a madman, he is also the emperor's legitimate son and a prince. If you marry him, under his protection, it will not be so easy for me to touch you."

Mu Qingge's brows immediately wrinkled: "Impossible."

"It's definitely impossible for me to do such a thing."

Although she really didn't expect that something like that would happen after she was reborn, but now that it had happened, she didn't want to deceive anyone, and she didn't even plan to get married again.

Mu Qingge raised her eyes and looked at Li Xiao. She probably knew why Li Xiao said such things.

"Don't worry, if I am really pregnant, I will quietly find a place to hide for a while and give birth to the child."

"If I hadn't been pregnant..."

Mu Qingge smiled bitterly: "If I am not pregnant, whether I live or die depends on you."

Li Xiao stared at Mu Qingge for a long time: "Really?"

Although he had only known this woman for a few days, through these few days of observation, he did not feel that this woman would let him kill her.

She seems to be living very hard.

He was somewhat looking forward to it, looking forward to knowing what she would do if she was not pregnant one month later.

Not only that, he was even more curious as to why she made up those lies to deceive her mother after she came back from Jingjue Temple today.

The stillbirth in Aunt Liu’s belly, and the floods in Ningzhou five months later.

Of course he knew that Abbot Wu Na did not say those words at all, nor did he give her the so-called prophecy at all.

What does she want to do?

Although the flood happened five months later, the stillbirth she mentioned in Aunt Liu's belly already existed...

Mu Qingge didn't know what he was thinking, so she just nodded: "Of course. But I have never seen your face."

Li Xiao curled his lips, reached out and grabbed Mu Qingge's chin, and pulled her towards him.

Mu Qingge lay on the window sill, almost touching Li Xiao's face: "What are you doing?"
