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

However, Lu Yu was as arrogant as ever. Even though he knew that Mu Gu's position in the court was so stable, he still planned to take the risk and use that method to drag Mu Gu into the water.

But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. Lu Yu was so anxious to kill Mu Bo because he wanted to seize the position of crown prince in one go. It would be disadvantageous for him to delay it for too long.

Lu Yu's grand plan was to have the evidence that Mu Gu was the son of the remnant of the previous dynasty. He knew very well that even if Emperor Qinglong knew about this, he would definitely not want the scandal of his most beloved son to be exposed to the world. By then, even if Emperor Qinglong did not want it to happen, Mu Gu would certainly be driven away.

If the news spread further, Mu Gu might even lose his life.

Although Lu Yu did not have much power in the palace, he did have a wide network of contacts outside the palace. In addition, after secretly summoning advisers for such a period of time, Lu Yu could almost control the direction of most of Kyoto. At this time, he only needed to order people to spread the news that Mu Gu's remnants of the previous dynasty were plotting to seize the throne and create public opinion that was unfavorable to Mu Gu. Even if Xiao Ruge helped Mu Gu, he could not turn over.

Soon, things happened just as Lu Yu had expected. People on the streets of Kyoto were talking about Mu Gu's identity, but because Emperor Qinglong did not make any response and considering Mu Gu's identity, no one dared to discuss it.

Lu Yu didn't expect that Mu Gu was so popular.

"General, what should we do next?"

Lu Xuanying walked up to Lu Yu and reported to people about the public opinion in Kyoto regarding the remnants of the previous Mu Gu dynasty. Lu Yu's face became increasingly uglier as he listened. Lu Yu was silent for a long while before he spoke slowly.

"Call a few more people and make the situation bigger, so they don't have to worry about anything. I'll take the blame if anything goes wrong."

This could be considered as Lu Yu being spoiled in another sense. During this period of time, everything Emperor Qinglong said and did to him seemed to make Lu Yu start to lose himself, wondering how deeply Emperor Qinglong felt guilty towards him.

But he forgot one thing. The more Emperor Qinglong did for him, the more Lu Yu accepted him, and his guilt would naturally become lighter.

The news had already spread throughout Kyoto, so how could those in the palace not know about it? Although Emperor Qinglong had lived in the palace for a long time and had no chance to go out to see and understand things in person, he had many subordinates, so naturally he could understand what was happening in the world without leaving home.

Others may not know whose child Mu Gu is, but how could Emperor Qinglong not know? He watched Mu Gu's mother grow up alone, and happened to hear the day Mu Gu was born.

At that time, Mu Gu's mother had died, and she locked Mu Gu in the deep palace because she felt ashamed that he was the child of the remnants of the previous dynasty. However, as time passed, this matter naturally became less and less important.

For some reason, the rumors were suddenly brought up again. At first, Emperor Qinglong pretended not to have heard them, but later on, they became more and more bizarre.

It was said that Mu Gu initially kept a low profile and hid his talents just to wait for this day to take the position of crown prince and revive the previous dynasty. Emperor Qinglong did not believe it at first. After all, Mu Gu's mother died when Mu Gu was very young and she had no chance to mention these things. But perhaps because too many things had happened recently, he couldn't help but think too much about it.

Therefore, he sent people to monitor Mu Gu secretly. As expected, he did not find any news of Mu Gu having any contact with the remnants of the previous dynasty. However, once the idea came into his mind, he could no longer control himself.

After much thought, Emperor Qinglong decided to call the person he trusted most to discuss the matter.

And this person is undoubtedly Minister Yang.

"Jianshan, do you think Gu'er would have that kind of thought?"

Emperor Qinglong fiddled with the cup on the table in front of him worriedly.

He had never understood what kind of person Mu Gu was, and he still found it hard to believe even when the facts were right in front of him.

Upon hearing this, Minister Yang smiled and shook his head.

"When His Majesty asked this question, he already didn't believe His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince. Why did His Majesty let me ask me again?"

Emperor Qinglong was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled at himself.

"Yeah... Jianshan, what you said makes sense. It's not appropriate for me to want to use him while not trusting him. But..."

Upon hearing this, Minister Yang knew that Emperor Qinglong was probably conflicted and struggling inside, not knowing how to make his own decision, and that he had asked him to come because he trusted his judgment extremely much.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince is a good prince and will also be a good crown prince..."

Minister Yang simply took advantage of this opportunity and gave Emperor Qinglong one more push.

Emperor Qinglong was stunned at first, and then seemed to understand something. It was obvious that anyone with a discerning eye would know that Minister Yang was guaranteeing Mu Gu. Since Minister Yang trusted Mu Gu so much, why should Emperor Qinglong, as his father, bother himself with this?

"I understand, Jianshan, thank you for what you said."

Emperor Qinglong slowly stood up, walked to the window, sighed softly and said.

"Jianshan, you are right..."

Seeing that Emperor Qinglong had thought it through, Minister Yang was about to get up and leave. However, as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something and quickly turned around and walked back to Emperor Qinglong's side.

"Your Majesty, do you know how the matter of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was brought up again after being silent for so many years?"

Emperor Qinglong turned his head when he heard this. He had indeed thought about this question. He always felt that the incident happened too suddenly and he was caught off guard. But in the end, he was delayed by various things and therefore did not dwell on it. Minister Yang's mention of this made Emperor Qinglong remember it.

Seeing Emperor Qinglong turned around, Minister Yang spoke immediately.

"When I first heard about this matter, I also found it strange, so I sent people to investigate secretly."

"The result shocked and surprised me a little."

"The person who spread these rumors was actually arranged by General Lu Yu."

Minister Yang was not talking nonsense or trying to put the blame on Lu Yu. He was actually finding out about these things, and he felt it necessary to remind Emperor Qinglong of this. After all, it was somewhat scary for someone to have such vicious thoughts towards his brothers, even if he had never thought of them before.

You never know what he will do to Emperor Qinglong from time to time.

"Do you take Jianshan's words seriously?"

Emperor Qinglong's voice was trembling, but Minister Yang was extremely serious.

"I have never lied, and I can tell His Majesty responsibly."

"Xiao Mingyue from the Xiao family who is next to Lu Yu is not an honest person."

"She came to me before and wanted to see His Majesty, but I was worried that she had ulterior motives, so I didn't agree. I just learned that she was Lu Yu's wife. And Xiao Mingyue was imprisoned because she was accused of colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty."
