Reborn to abuse the scumbag, the demon queen destroyed her ex-husband's entire family

Not to mention the sickly fourth brother, the emperor never even thought of using him.

Now the only son who can be used is Mu Gu, and this is also a helpless move.

This matter involves military rations, so the emperor has to be cautious.

Seeing Mu Bo silent, the emperor ignored him and turned to look at Mu Huan. Seeing that he was in good spirits, he smiled and said, "Your wife is pregnant. It's been almost three months now. Go back and check on her!"

"Yes, I am resigning!"

If you were to ask who Mu Huan cares about the most, it would of course be Ao Rong.

When he fell off the cliff, the last thought in his mind was that he was sorry for his wife. If he died, Ao Rong would be a widow at such a young age.

Fortunately, he survived the disaster in the end. The cliff was covered with vines, and he was entangled by the vines when he fell, thus saving his life.

There were many towering trees at the foot of the cliff, and a thick layer of rotten leaves fell on the ground. When he cut the vines and fell down, he only sprained his ankle, but had no other serious injuries.

When he came back, he was so eager to go home that if he didn't have to report this matter to the emperor, he would have run to see Ao Rong as soon as possible.

Ao Rong had known that Mu Huan was coming back, because she knew that he would go to the emperor first. Although she said that she was not in a hurry, she could not sit still, and she stood outside the tent waiting with Concubine Chun and Xiao Ruge.

As soon as Mu Huan walked out of the emperor's tent, he saw his mother and wife not far away, and he immediately walked over quickly.

"Mother, Rong'er!"

"Your Highness!"

Ao Rong was very excited and hurried over.

Mu Huan didn't care that they were still outside and there were so many people around, he just stretched out his arms and hugged Ao Rong tightly.

Hearing his wife's suppressed cry, Mu Huan's heart finally returned to peace.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? I'm back safe and sound."

He pushed Ao Rong away slightly, reached out to wipe the tears from her face, his eyes full of pity.

Ao Rong just looked at him without saying anything. She was obviously happy in her heart, but she couldn't control her tears from flowing down.

She thought these must be tears of joy.

Mu Huan whispered a few words of comfort to Ao Rong, which made her stop crying. He then pulled her to Concubine Chun.

"Concubine, my son is back."

"Just come back, just come back!"

Concubine Chun's eyes were also red, but she did not lose control and cry like Ao Rong.

He looked his son up and down, and confirmed that he was fine and had no missing limbs, and then he put his heart back into his stomach.

"Rong'er has always been worried about you. Now that you are back, you should spend more time with Rong'er!"

"Yes."

Listening to his mother's words, Mu Huan nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then he looked at Xiao Ruge beside him, nodded at her, said nothing, and went back to the big tent with Ao Rong in his arms.

There are so many people here and it is difficult to say many things. But now I am back and there is plenty of time to say thank you.

Before, Xiao Ruge had been eating and living with Ao Rong, partly to prevent anyone from harming Ao Rong, and partly because she was afraid that something might happen to her and she would get into an accident without her around.

Now that Mu Huan is back, she naturally can no longer live with Ao Rong.

She originally wanted to go back to the Xiao family and find a tent to live in, but was stopped by Concubine Chun, who set up a smaller tent for her next to her own tent.

"This place is not like the palace, and there are many reckless people. It's safer for you to live here."

After hearing this, Xiao Ruge did not refute and nodded in agreement.

She knew that Mu Gu was still with the emperor and he would definitely come to see her. It would be inconvenient for her to return to the Xiao family.

The next time she saw Mu Gu was at night in Mu Huan and Ao Rong's tent. She was called to have dinner and Mu Gu was there.

When she saw Mu Gu, she remembered the time she met Zhao Bin.

At that time, in order to give Concubine Zhao some hope, I wore the jade pendant. Although it was a temporary measure, for some reason, I suddenly felt a little guilty.

Mu Gu's eyes lit up when he saw her, but Xiao Ruge didn't dare to look him in the eye.

After the meal, she felt as if this man's eyes were glued to her, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After eating and drinking, they sat down to talk. There was no one else in the tent, and the maids and servants were all guarding outside the door.

"It's all thanks to Ruge this time, otherwise I would have been in great danger. I can't thank you enough for your kindness. I will remember it in my heart!"

Mu Huan bowed to Xiao Ruge gratefully, and Xiao Ruge quickly dodged.

"I call you Third Brother, so of course I can't watch you fall into danger!"

Having said that, Mu Huan and Ao Rong both understood that even so, they were not biological siblings, and even if Xiao Ruge did not send anyone to protect Mu Huan, they could not say anything.

After all, no one knew that there was such a powerful person among Xiao Ruge’s group.

This could be considered as Xiao Ruge's disguised way of briefing Mu Huan, letting him know his own strength, so that if he could be of use in the future, he could ask for his help.

"Sun Yan is also nearby. He said he would find an opportunity to sneak in the day after tomorrow. Father knows about me and the people around my third brother. If a new face suddenly appears, it will arouse suspicion."

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge and smiled gently.

Xiao Ruge nodded after hearing this, thinking that there was something he could do.

They talked for a while, and seeing that Mu Gu was staring at Xiao Ruge, Mu Huan and Ao Rong still didn't understand something.

So Ao Rong pretended to be tired, and the two said goodbye and left the tent.

The nights in late autumn are already a bit chilly, and there is a faint white mist when people go out to talk.

Occasionally, the calls of unknown birds could be heard from the distant woods, echoed by the weak chirping of insects in the grass. It was quite interesting to listen.

The two stood outside and looked at each other, then Xiao Ruge looked away and looked at the night sky.

There are no stars tonight. The weather is a bit cloudy in the afternoon and it is expected to rain in the second half of the night.

"Shall we two take a walk?"

Mu Gu really missed Xiao Ruge a little, but there were so many people here and patrolling guards everywhere, and he couldn't get close to Xiao Ruge openly. He could only seize every little opportunity to be together.

Xiao Ruge originally wanted to refuse, but after a moment of silence, she finally nodded, and the two of them walked towards the grassland in the distance together.

Lu Yu happened to be walking by with his men on patrol. He saw the two men's backs from afar and just glanced at them without looking at them further. However, his hand holding the hilt of the knife tightened a little.

"Do you have something to tell me?"

Only after they walked some distance away did Xiao Ruge turn around and ask Mu Gu.

Mu Gu smiled, "Have you met my mother?"

Knowing that he would ask this, Xiao Ruge had already thought of a way to deal with it.

She did not deny it, but nodded, thought for a moment and spoke softly: "Madam Zhaopin's health is really not good. I think she has given up on herself. If a person has no desire to live, it will be difficult for him to live a good life."
