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

After saying that, he glanced at Mu Gu and saw that he looked a little unhappy.

"I have known about this for a long time. If mother had not been so worried about me, I would have been freed more than ten years ago."

In Mu Gu's heart, he felt that he was a burden to his mother.

It was not Zhaopin's own intention to enter the palace, but the emperor forced her into the palace.

Since he brought someone into the palace, he should have treated her well, but the emperor did not cherish her after getting her. He threw Concubine Zhao in the harem and ignored her, so that anyone could step on her later.

At the beginning, Zhaopin also had a glimmer of hope for the emperor, but later she found out that she was just a tool for the emperor to gain a good reputation for treating the orphans of the previous dynasty well.

Just when she was giving up and preparing to end her life, she found out that she was pregnant. For the sake of the child in her belly, Zhaobin struggled to hold on for so long.

Mu Gu always knew the pain in his mother's heart. The palace was like a cage that trapped his mother's life.

He felt guilty towards his mother, and after he grew up, he became more filial to Concubine Zhao.

One year, Concubine Zhao was extremely ill and lay in coma in bed for three days and three nights without waking up.

Mu Gu was still young at that time and was very scared, so he knelt in front of the bed and said that if his mother died, he would die with her.

Perhaps Zhaobin heard it, and she woke up the next day. She looked at her son with a pair of dim eyes, which were filled with unmelted tenderness.

Pulling his mind away from memories, Mu Gu swallowed the bitterness in his heart, turned to look at Xiao Ruge, and asked softly: "Do you have a way to let my mother live?"

Xiao Ruge sighed, "I can only say that I will try my best. I wore the jade pendant you gave me before for this reason. But don't get me wrong, I just want Zhaopin to survive, I have no other intentions."

Mu Gu nodded after listening. No matter what Xiao Ruge's intention was, it was always for the good of his mother.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I wonder if Concubine Zhao has told you?"

"what's up?"

Seeing that Mu Gu didn't seem to know the truth, Xiao Ruge knew that Zhaopin probably didn't say anything.

"Empress Zhao was poisoned!"

These words made Mu Gu's eyes flash with murderous intent, and his palms clenched into fists.

"Do you know who did it?"

Xiao Ruge shook her head. "The poison was put in the medicine package. I don't know how many people have held a package of medicine in the Imperial Hospital. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find it."

"But the medicine has been stopped. I gave the queen the antidote and made some medicine to strengthen her body. I also asked Aunt Bi Yan and Aunt Ling Lai to be careful in secret."

Mu Gu knew that Xiao Ruge had made medicine for Zhaopin. He whispered thank you to Xiao Ruge and couldn't help but move closer to her.

Xiao Ruge felt it, frowned and moved to the side, but the man chased after her again, and this time he was even more excessive, touching her shoulder directly.

She frowned and was about to say something when Mu Gu grabbed her hand.

"I miss you!"

The four gentle words drifted by her ears with the wind, but Xiao Ruge heard them clearly.

The two were already some distance away from the camp, and the torches in the distance could not reach this side.

When Bai Zhi and Mo Yi saw their master stop, they also stopped silently in the distance.

Xiao Ruge looked into Mu Gu's eyes. There was clearly no light around, but she felt that this man's eyes were so bright that they were dazzling.

Just when she didn't know how to respond, there was a sudden loud noise from the camp. She knew something had happened.

The two of them took a quick glance and discovered that the place where the accident happened was the emperor's tent, so they hurried back.

When they came back, the emperor's tent was still a little messy. After asking, they found out that a snake had sneaked into the emperor's tent.

Fortunately, the snake was caught and the emperor was not injured, but the guard who caught the snake was bitten.

Because the snake was somewhat poisonous, the guard's entire arm was swollen beyond recognition and the imperial physician was treating him inside.

Since the imperial physician was there, Xiao Ruge did not go in to join in the fun.

As the emperor's son, Mu Gu should naturally go in and ask how he was after such a thing happened to him, so the two of them separated outside the big tent.

Although the emperor was not bitten by the snake, he alarmed everyone in the camp.

The Queen and several concubines went to the Emperor's place, and for a while there was a bit of noise there.

Xiao Ruge's tent was not too far away. The noise lasted for about quarter of an hour before it quieted down. It seemed that everything was fine.

At night, Xiao Ruge tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Bai Zhi lay opposite her, and judging by the sound of her, she must be fast asleep.

What Mu Gu said to her before made her feel a little annoyed. She had clearly told him that she didn’t like him and only wanted a son-in-law, so why was he still pestering her?

Just when Xiao Ruge was feeling very worried, a figure lifted the curtain and rolled in.

The man moved very quickly and came to Baizhi's bedside. He reached out and pressed Baizhi's acupoints.

Xiao Ruge, who was lying opposite, saw everything clearly and was sure that the man had no intention of killing Bai Zhi. She immediately closed her eyes and prepared to wait for someone to come closer before subduing the man.

But as that person got closer, a familiar smell wafted over. It turned out to be Mu Gu.

She opened her eyes and was about to speak when Mu Gu pressed acupoints on her.

Mu Gu didn't expect that she was still asleep, so his movements when he touched her body were a little stiff, but he recovered to normal in an instant and climbed onto the couch.

Xiao Ruge glared at Mu Gu in the dark night, with suppressed anger in her eyes.

Mu Gu smiled and hugged her sideways, letting out a satisfied sigh.

"Actually, I wanted to hug you when I saw you, but unfortunately there were too many people around. Now I finally got my wish!"

Perhaps because Xiao Ruge woke up, Mu Gu did not make any other movements and just held her quietly, which made Xiao Ruge feel much relieved.

She had secretly sworn in her heart that if this man did anything wrong, she would sprinkle him with a handful of medicine powder tomorrow so that he would never be able to be humane again!

Fortunately, Mu Gu knew his limits. After quietly holding Xiao Ruge for a while, he unblocked her acupoints.

The moment she was free, Xiao Ruge slapped Mu Gu in the face.

A crisp sound rang out in the tent. Mu Gu was stunned for a moment, then he touched the corner of his mouth with a smile, "You don't have as much strength as before. Are you feeling sorry for me?"

Xiao Ruge was a little unwilling to talk to such a shameless person, and simply closed her eyes and didn't look at him.

Mu Gu didn't care. Instead, he lay down happily, resting his hands on his head and relaxing.

"I have something to tell you."

He glanced at Xiao Ruge who ignored him, and his smile deepened.

"You also know about the snake that entered Father's tent. Do you know who the guard was who was bitten when catching the snake?"

Now Xiao Ruge became interested. She opened her eyes and glanced at Mu Gu without saying anything.

Finally, Mu Gu succumbed to her gaze and said a name in a flattering manner.

"It's Lu Yu."
