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

When they just came out of the palace, Minister Yang called him and asked them to wait for him at the palace gate. Therefore, Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge were not in a hurry and followed Mu Li and walked slowly towards the palace gate.

As for Ji Feng, the people in front of him were all dignitaries of high status, so as a servant, he naturally had no right to speak and could only follow behind the three people in front of him.

The three of them kept walking like this. Mu Li, who had just been clamoring to chat with him, suddenly fell silent, with his head slightly lowered, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"Why? Don't you have something to tell me?"

Mu Li raised his head slightly when he heard the voice, and saw Mu Gu looking at him very kindly, just like how he comforted him last time.

Ever since the last incident, Mu Li tried every means to find out about Mu Gu's past. It seemed that he was the same as himself, a person forgotten and ignored in the palace.

It seemed that Mu Gu was even more helpless than himself. At least he had his mother by his side, but Mu Gu was all alone, having grown up alone in the deep palace. Yet now he had such great abilities that he could make so many people believe in him.

Mu Li thought that he must not be someone who could be bullied by others, and as for the person who could help him, he could only place his hope on Mu Gu.

Mu Li slowly looked towards Mu Gu.

"Brother, I want to help you."

Mu Gu was startled, then frowned slightly, but it was only a momentary reaction, and then his expression returned to his usual calmness. Xiao Ruge was also a little surprised, she knew that the eighth prince Mu Li was very smart, but he looked like a very clever person, but what Mu Gu wanted to do was not too obvious, but Mu Li could see it clearly.

Xiao Ruge turned her head and glanced at Mu Gu. Seeing his indifferent look, she knew that Mu Gu was trying to play dumb.

There was nothing wrong with Mu Gu's decision not to drag Mu Li into the game. One reason was that although they were now quite confident of getting Mu Bo to step down, Mu Bo had been the crown prince for so long that he must have had someone around him. It was impossible to bring him down overnight.

Another thing is that Mu Li is only a twelve-year-old boy. Let's not talk about how Mu Li can help them. Even if he can help, Mu Li is blatantly colluding with Mu Gu. If Mu Bai, who is also in the palace, knows about it, it goes without saying what the result will be.

"Oh? My brother doesn't need your help."

Mu Gu responded to Mu Li with a smile. What he was sure of was that since Mu Li had said this to him, he could basically be sure that he would not harm himself. However, in this palace where there were so many people around, if he told them what Mu Gu was doing, it would be tantamount to exposing all of them to danger.

Many people may know what Mu Gu is thinking, but what he says openly and what he does secretly are not the same.

Mu Li knew Mu Gu's attitude, which was that he didn't want him to get involved in his recent affairs. He was not stupid and naturally would not say it clearly in front of people who could hear him. Since asking directly would not work, he could only appeal to his emotions.

"Brother, you are very powerful. You can pull yourself out of the abyss by yourself..."

Mu Li slowly lowered his head, his voice full of helplessness and loss, but all of these were emotions that came from his heart.

"I also want to be like my brother, and be able to protect myself and my mother in this deep palace."

"I don't want to be a piece of meat on the chopping block."

These words made an emotion flash through Mu Gu's mind.

Mu Li is so much like myself when I was a kid, with the same forbearance, the same refusal to accept fate, and the same desire to find a way out for himself.

The last words Mu Li said were the same words Mu Gu said when he was a child.

Mu Gu was shaken. If the young Mu Gu had met someone like himself who could help him and had a chance to establish a connection with him, he would definitely try his best to persuade that person without leaving any room for doubt.

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince... Concubine Mingzhu will be waiting anxiously..."

Ji Feng, who had been following closely, suddenly spoke, but Mu Li still stood there, as if hoping that Mu Gu would give in. But after a long time, Mu Gu still pursed his lips and said nothing.

When Mu Li saw this, he understood everything and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He didn't know if he would ever meet someone like Mu Gu, someone who could save him from the dire straits, if he lost this opportunity.

"Brother, I understand. You don't have to worry..."

Mu Li was unable to raise his head and make eye contact with Mu Gu because he was afraid that he would see Mu Gu's distrustful look.

Mu Gu was the only person in the palace who had been relatively nice to him since he was born.

He was willing to do his best to help Mu Gu, and did not ask for anything in return. He only hoped that he and his mother could live a good life.

Mu Li actually didn't want to give up, but facing Mu Gu's firm attitude, he had no choice but to give in and then slowly took a few steps back.

Just when Mu Li was about to follow Ji Feng back to the palace, Xiao Ruge spoke.

"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, your brother said he would consider it!"

Mu Li turned around suddenly and saw Xiao Ruge waving at him with a cheerful face. Then surprise and disbelief appeared in Mu Li's eyes, and he spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

"really?"

As long as Mu Gu is still willing to consider it, there is still room for negotiation.

Mu Gu widened his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Ruge who winked at him. He didn't react for a moment, but when he heard Mu Li's question, he still spoke in accordance with Xiao Ruge's words.

"Yes, I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll give you an answer."

After hearing what Mu Gu said in person, Mu Gu immediately narrowed his eyes and then nodded heavily.

"Okay! Thank you, brother!"

When Mu Gu heard Mu Li's cheerful thanks, he waved his hands in a somewhat uncomfortable manner.

"Go back quickly, Concubine Mingzhu will be worried soon."

Mu Li nodded vigorously again, and then walked away from them with Ji Feng. Looking at the jumping figure who exuded joy from head to toe, Mu Gu actually felt a little happy.

After spending so many days and nights together, Xiao Ruge already knew what Mu Gu was thinking. When Mu Gu didn't explicitly refuse, he was actually already wavering in his heart.

As for why I didn't say it, it was simply because I was still hesitating and didn't know how to say it.

She knew that Mu Gu saw the shadow of his own childhood in Mu Li. Since Mu Gu was shaken but lacked the opportunity to speak out, she would speak.

"Mu Gu, do you want to agree to Mu Li?"

Mu Gu, however, was already maintaining his appearance and snorted softly.

"How can you tell that I want to agree? Xiao Yu'er, you just take advantage of my kindness to you and decide everything for me..."

Although he said so, there was a relaxed smile on Mu Gu's face, and it didn't seem that he was unhappy at all.

Xiao Ruge understood.

This guy is just being stubborn.
