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

He moved back a little to make room for Xiao Mingyue beside the bed.

"Much better. It wasn't a very venomous snake to begin with. I took the medicine the imperial physician prescribed and the poison in my body was eliminated."

Xiao Mingyue smiled, and immediately ran over to sit next to him. She shyly grabbed one of Lu Yu's fingers and said distressedly: "Even if the poison is not strong, it is still a poisonous snake. Brother Yu should be more careful!"

Lu Yu held Xiao Mingyue's hand, rubbing it with his fingertips, looking at her with a tender look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I will take care of myself even if it's just for you!"

Xiao Mingyue has given him a lot of money recently. Even for the money, Lu Yu will be nice to Xiao Mingyue.

Last time, he used the money given by Xiao Mingyue to buy calligraphy and paintings and establish a relationship with Minister Yang.

This time he left a good impression on the emperor again, which made Lu Yu feel that he was one step closer to returning to his roots.

Lu Yu was slowly making plans here, but Xiao Mingyue was a little anxious.

She wanted Lu Yu to be recognized by the emperor as soon as possible and marry her early so that she could escape from that chaotic home.

However, when she thought about the fact that there was still some time before Lu Yu was recognized by the emperor in the previous life, she had to take it slow no matter how anxious she was.

After chatting with Lu Yu for a while and expressing their affection for a while, Xiao Mingyue reluctantly left.

After she came out, Chuntao looked at her slightly swollen lips and couldn't help pouting, and followed behind silently.

Because of his injury, Lu Yu has not been out recently. This way, when the emperor knows that he is his son, he will definitely be more touched.

Today, Lu Yu felt better after receiving Xiao Mingyue's comfort. He touched his chest out of habit, where he wore a jade pendant with a dragon pattern.

But when he touched it, he felt nothing, which made him panic. He tore open his clothes and found that only the rope tied to the jade pendant was left on his chest, but the jade pendant was gone.

He quickly stood up and searched for it, thinking that he had dropped it somewhere, but he searched the entire tent and couldn't find the jade pendant.

Lu Yu sat on the bed in a daze, his face pale.

It’s over. Without the jade pendant, how can I make the emperor believe that I am his son?

He raised his hand and slapped himself hard, but he still couldn't remember when he lost the jade pendant.

He has been recuperating in a tent recently and seldom goes out. A few colleagues who are on good terms with him have come to see him, but they are all quite a distance away from him and cannot even touch the jade pendant on his body.

When was the jade pendant lost?

He grabbed his hair in frustration, wondering what to do about this matter.

Time passed in Xiao Mingyue's torment and Lu Yu's anxiety, and the emperor finally ordered the camp to be moved back to the capital.

The mighty team that came here set off again, and like a long snake, slowly moved towards the capital.

On the first day of camping, Xiao Ruge saw Lu Yu. He looked gloomy, probably because he discovered that the jade pendant was missing and was worried. Her mood immediately improved and she even ate half a bowl of dinner more.

Because her ankle was injured and it was inconvenient for her to get in and out of the carriage, she slept in the carriage at night.

Just when she was about to fall asleep, there was a sudden knock on the car wall, and then a small bundle wrapped in a handkerchief fell in through the car window, right next to Xiao Ruge.

"I saw them by accident this afternoon and picked some, but I never found a chance to give them to you."

Mu Gu's deliberately lowered voice came from outside the carriage. Xiao Ruge curled the corners of her mouth and untied her handkerchief, and found wild raspberries inside.

The bright red fruits are like small bowls, and the sweet aroma wafts all around. You can tell at a glance that they are sweet and sour and delicious.

"have you eaten?"

Xiao Ruge pinched one and put it into her mouth. It tasted sour and sweet and especially delicious. Seeing that Bai Zhi had also woken up, she pushed the fruit in her hand forward, motioning her to eat too.

"I've eaten it. Is it delicious?"

The carriage swayed slightly, and it seemed that Mu Gu was leaning on it. From his relaxed and cheerful voice, one could tell that he was in a good mood at the moment.

“Delicious, sweet and sour, very appetizing!”

"If you like to eat it, I'll pick it for you tomorrow!"

Mu Gu felt at ease being able to talk to Xiao Ruge like this.

There were soldiers patrolling in the camp. When they passed by the carriage, they acted as if they didn't see Mu Gu and walked away without even looking at him.

Xiao Ruge didn't know that he had already arranged patrols. After eating a few fruits, she urged him to leave quickly to avoid being seen.

Mu Gu stood outside and smiled, then said softly, "I'll leave now, and I'll pick some fruit for you tomorrow!"

"Well, let's go!"

Xiao Ruge didn't lift the curtain, but listened attentively. When the footsteps gradually faded away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

He shared the remaining fruit with Angelica dahurica, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and then lay down to sleep.

The next night, Mu Gu came as scheduled, but he was late today and Sun Yan was already standing outside the carriage.

"Why are you here? You'll be easily exposed like this, so you'd better leave!"

As soon as he saw Sun Yan, Mu Gu felt a headache.

He knew that Xiao Ruge and Sun Yan had been friends since childhood. As long as Sun Yan often appeared in front of Xiao Ruge, it was still unknown whether he could surpass him.

Sun Yan told him this on the way to find Mu Huan.

The reason why Sun Yan mentioned his childhood experiences to Mu Gu was to make him give up.

After all, his young lady has already said that she wants to find a husband to marry into the family, and with Mu Gu's current status, he cannot do this.

But Sun Yan can. He made it clear that as long as his lady is willing, he is always willing to be her slave.

This made Mu Gu very angry, as he had been sparring with Sun Yan a lot along the way.

So now, whenever Mu Gu sees Sun Yan, he feels a strong sense of crisis.

Xiao Ruge had no idea about the intrigue between the two. She just thought that Mu Gu was doing it for Sun Yan's own good. She also felt that it was not good for him to stay with her for long, so she asked him to leave quickly.

Looking at Mu Gu's smug face, Sun Yan snorted, said something to Xiao Ruge and left.

Without Sun Yan by his side, Mu Gu looked much more relaxed and handed the small box in his hand through the window.

As soon as Xiao Ruge took it in her hand, she felt a sinking sensation. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was actually a small wooden box with many fruits inside. It looked much better than the wild berries delivered yesterday.

"I kept the fruits from yesterday in my arms, and some of them were rotten, so I specially found a small box to put them in today. I just checked, and there is not a single broken one!"

Mu Gu quietly lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked inside through the window, just in time to meet Xiao Ruge's gaze.

Now that he was caught, Mu Gu stopped pretending and simply opened the curtain on the window, placed his arm on the window frame, and raised his chin to rest on his arm.

"Why did Sun Yan come here? Is there something he wants to talk to you about?"

He was still quite concerned about Sun Yan's behavior, so he asked quickly.
