Xiao Ruge's brows suddenly frowned and his eyes turned unconsciously.

Is this a coincidence?

The emperor's tent is in the center. Even if there is a snake, it should crawl into the tent at the edge first, not to mention that there are guards patrolling the camp.

"You also think this is strange, right? How do you think the snake managed to evade the heavy guards and crawl into the big tent sprinkled with realgar powder?"

Yeah, how did it get in there?

It is understandable that no one saw it. Although patrols are frequent, there are times when they cannot take care of it. However, realgar powder is sprinkled around the tents to prevent snakes, insects, rats, ants, etc. from running in.

The emperor's tent is of utmost importance, but a snake happened to get into the emperor's tent.

Xiao Ruge snorted, "Because of this incident, does the emperor favor Lu Yu a little bit?"

Mu Gu chuckled, "Yes, my father seems to value this young general who saved him very much, and he specially sent a royal doctor to take care of him."

At this point, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Before, he had seen how the emperor treated Lu Yu, and he was even more nervous than he was about his own son.

Xiao Ruge was silent for a moment, then asked Mu Gu softly, "Why did Lu Yu do this?"

Mu Gu raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he wants to show his face in front of the emperor so that he can be reused in the future!"

"No, didn't you notice that Lu Yu looks somewhat like the emperor?"

These words made Mu Gu sit up suddenly, and he looked at Xiao Ruge with disbelief.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and it took him a long time to find his voice.

"You, you mean, Lu Yu is the emperor's son?"

"Twenty years ago, the emperor went to Changsheng Temple. On his way back, he passed by Taohua Village and fell in love with a young girl. After a night of pleasure, he forgot about her and never mentioned her again."

Xiao Ruge spoke about this with an expressionless face, which left Mu Gu stunned.

He took a while to digest it, and then he lay down again. "How did you know about this?"

"I know a lot of things. Not only this, I also know that the emperor left a jade pendant with a dragon pattern to that woman."

Accessories with dragon carvings are only available to the royal family. If Lu Yu takes out this jade pendant, and considering that he looks somewhat like the emperor, the emperor will definitely recognize him.

This was almost a done deal. Mu Gu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and his mind was a little confused for a moment.

"I guess Lu Yu released the snake in order to stage a self-torture trick to get the emperor's attention. After gradually winning the emperor's favor, he took out the jade pendant and revealed his identity, and everything would fall into place."

In the end, Mu Gu decided not to stay with Xiao Ruge any longer. He stood up and left in a hurry.

He had to suppress this matter before Lu Yu could say anything, as he didn't have much time left.

When Mu Gu was preparing to deal with Lu Yu, Sun Yan met Xiao Ruge wearing the uniform of the imperial guards.

"Bai Song and Bai Yang have both sneaked in with me. If you have anything to say, please let me know."

Sun Yan carefully took out a small bag from his arms, unfolded it and saw wild berries wrapped in large leaves. They were bright red and very pleasing to the eye.

Knowing that it was picked for her, Xiao Ruge did not refuse. She smiled and reached out to take it. She picked up one, wiped it, and put it in her mouth. The sweet and sour taste spread immediately.

"Go check what Xiao Mingzhi is doing, and also pay attention to what the daughter of the court doctor's family is doing."

It is understandable that Sun Yan paid attention to Xiao Mingzhi, after all, this person has always been wary of Xiao Ruge.

But the young lady of the imperial doctor's family seemed to have nothing to do with Xiao Ruge. Although he didn't know why his young lady asked him to pay attention to her, Sun Yan still nodded.

Ao Rong has Mu Huan to accompany her, so she doesn't need Xiao Ruge to take care of her all the time. Therefore, she has been very free these two days. She goes riding a horse or taking a stroll when she has nothing to do.

Ever since taking Ang'er for a horse ride that day, the little guy often pestered Xiao Ruge, so you could often see the big and the small one riding on the same horse and shouting as they passed by on the pasture.

Seeing Xiao Ruge getting so close to the Ao family, Xiao Mingyue hated them so much that she couldn't help cursing in her heart, hoping that both of them would fall off their horses.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ruge was an excellent rider, and considering Ang'er's young age, he did not dare to run too fast.

But even if he really fell off the horse, Xiao Ruge was confident that he could protect Ang'er.

Mu Gu was busy thinking about how to get Lu Yu's jade pendant. He didn't come to see Xiao Ruge in the past few days, and because he was in public, he didn't dare to get too close to her.

Zhu Chengxi and Ao Fang did not have too many concerns. One of them was truly repentant and wanted to marry Xiao Ruge home.

The other one is shouldering the family mission and is determined to catch the person.

So the two of them were like two colorful peacocks, constantly hanging around in front of Xiao Ruge, either giving her flowers or food.

Xiao Ruge, on the other hand, had no feelings for the two of them and focused on taking care of the kids. Sometimes, when she got annoyed by them, she would just bring Ao Yuchen along to try to get them to tone down a bit.

Ao Yuchen is already eight years old. His family hired a master of horseback archery, so he can learn archery quite well with a small bow.

Today, several people went to play at the edge of the woods. Unexpectedly, he shot a rabbit with a small bow. Ang'er clapped his hands with joy, and Xiao Ruge and Ao Fang also praised him.

Finally, the few people decided to use local ingredients and roast the rabbit here.

However, the rabbit shot by Ao Yuchen was a little small, so Ao Fang finally pulled Zhu Chengxi into the woods and hunted two pheasants, which was enough to eat.

However, Ao Fang could not praise Zhu Chengxi's archery skills, as both pheasants were hunted by him.

"You are so useless!"

Anger pouted and Zhu Chengxi didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing his somewhat embarrassed look, Xiao Ruge smiled, turned the rabbit in her hand, and tried to make up for Zhu Chengxi.

"Some people are good at martial arts, while others are good at studying. For example, Aunt Xiao is very good at riding a horse. Not everyone can do everything."

Ao Yuchen was sitting on the other side of her. After listening, he looked at her, said nothing, and continued to stare at the rabbit on the fire.

But An Ge'er, after hearing this, looked at Zhu Chengxi and asked crisply: "Okay, then what are you good at?"

"He's great at finding a wife."

Ao Yuchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something that made Xiao Ruge laugh.

Ao Fang also burst out laughing, and Zhu Chengxi's face turned the color of liver.

But An Ge'er still didn't understand, so he turned around and asked his brother, "Brother, this ugly guy has a wife? He is so ugly, how could anyone be willing to marry him?"

Ao Yuchen glanced at his brother. Although he thought it was not nice for him to call someone ugly in front of him, he did not correct him.
