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

Minister Yang took this opportunity to review everything thoroughly. He had discovered something that he hadn't discovered before, but this review led to more shocking guesses.

Lu Yu was not only the culprit who wanted to put Mu Gu in an unfavorable public opinion, he was even very likely the culprit who killed Mu Bo. This matter made Emperor Qinglong extremely frightened for a while.

It is obvious that the person with evil intentions was not Mu Gu, but Lu Yu, who felt deeply guilty.

Emperor Qinglong stared blankly out the window, his mind a little dazed, his eyes filled with shock, anger, disappointment and all sorts of other emotions. These emotions were all mixed together, revealing very complicated emotions in Emperor Qinglong's eyes.

Even Emperor Qinglong himself couldn't explain it clearly. He needed some time to digest what to do with this matter. He needed to learn how to treat Lu Yu.

Minister Yang knew that Emperor Qinglong needed some space to think, so he turned around and quietly left the hall.

But in fact, if Lu Yu had not made one mistake after another, and had not listened to Xiao Mingyue's advice and done something even more outrageous just because the public opinions did not hurt Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, perhaps Qinglong would have given him a warning and turned a blind eye to it, just like he did with Mu Gu's matter. But Lu Yu was just not satisfied.

Emperor Qinglong felt more and more that he was incapable of doing the job, and that Mu Gu was the only one who could take on the important task, so he proposed to the court again to appoint Mu Gu as the crown prince.

Lu Yu obviously did not expect things to develop so quickly. Xiao Mingyue also realized the crisis of the situation when she saw this. If no action was taken now, the good days that were just around the corner would be gone.

Xiao Mingyue gave Lu Yu such a bad idea. Lu Yu was so desperate that he wanted to kill Mu Gu like he killed Mu Bo. The result was obvious. Mu Gu was not a fool like Mu Bo, and Xiao Ruge was not a pushover either.

Lu Yu was arrested on the spot and taken to meet Emperor Qinglong. Even if Emperor Qinglong wanted to pretend to turn a blind eye, he couldn't do it this time. After all, Lu Yu was his child. He couldn't bear the regret of killing his brother and then kill his own son. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs.

But it is obviously unacceptable not to punish Lu Yu.

And it just so happened that Xiao Mingyue, who was beside Lu Yu, ran into him, which gave Emperor Qinglong the opportunity to barely save Lu Yu from being executed.

Xiao Mingyue was sentenced to death by Emperor Qinglong for slandering the prince. As for Lu Yu, it was obviously impossible for him to appear in front of everyone again, so Emperor Qinglong reluctantly ordered him to be imprisoned for life and not allowed to leave Ningshuang Palace.

The only person who could be the crown prince among Emperor Qinglong's sons was Mu Gu. There was almost no need for further discussion in the court. Naturally, Mu Gu was the chosen one to be the crown prince.

Emperor Qinglong even asked someone to calculate an auspicious day for this purpose, and planned to appoint Mu Gu as the crown prince five days later.

Many people came to congratulate.

Ever since Lu Yu was imprisoned in Ningshuang Palace and Xiao Mingyue was finally sentenced to death, the Xiao family was also punished because of Xiao Mingyue and was expelled from Kyoto.

Soon after, good news came one after another. Her father, Xiao Wangfei, who was falsely accused of having improper dealings with foreigners from the border area, was finally vindicated.

Originally, Xiao Ruge had accomplished all the revenge and things she wanted to do, and seeing Mu Gu get what he wanted, she was naturally very happy.

Because of the affairs of the court, Mu Gu was often not in the mansion. Sometimes he even stayed in the East Palace for a day or two. Xiao Ruge was often alone in the mansion. She couldn't help but think a lot, but always felt empty inside.

If it were an ordinary person, how could they not be happy about becoming the Crown Princess? But Xiao Ruge just couldn't be happy.

She sat in front of the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside.

The cold winter is coming to an end and spring is slowly approaching.

The sounds of birds singing in the yard began to increase. Xiao Ruge always watched the birds flying outside the window, thinking that they were really free.

Xiao Ruge looked up at the sky. The dazzling sunlight made her raise her hand involuntarily. The sunlight shone through her fingers onto her face. At that moment, she seemed to understand.

Whether in her previous life or now after her rebirth, Xiao Ruge has always trapped herself in the court struggles which are full of darkness and cunning.

In the previous life, it was because of Lu Yu, and in this life, it was for revenge.

It was not until now that Xiao Ruge finally understood that gaining things for others would eventually be tiring.

Why doesn't she live for herself, why doesn't she live the life she wants, why doesn't she abandon all this worldliness.

Xiao Ruge wanted to leave Kyoto. She wanted to go to the mountains, the fields, the distant hills, the rivers. Anywhere would be fine, as long as she could leave this place full of her bad memories.

Of course she couldn't bear to leave Mu Gu, but Xiao Ruge also knew very well that Mu Gu had his own pursuits, so how could he accompany her to be crazy and do what she wanted to do regardless of the consequences.

In this case, I might as well leave quietly. After all, the way I look now does not make me worthy of standing beside such an outstanding Mu Gu.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruge didn't tell anyone, but walked through every place in Kyoto where she had lived. Then, she carried Fengming on her back with great effort, mounted the white horse that had accompanied her for many years, and slowly walked out of the city.

Just when Xiao Ruge had reached the outskirts of the city, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from behind her, accompanied by Mu Gu's loud shouts.

"Little fish! Little fish!"

Xiao Ruge had to admit that she couldn't convince herself to let go of Mu Gu. She wandered around the city gate again and again, and then slowed down her horse's speed. She knew that Mu Gu would definitely catch up with her.

Xiao Ruge knew very well that wanting to break up but being entangled and unable to do so was the most uncomfortable and heartbreaking thing, but she couldn't care less at the moment.

Xiao Ruge slowly turned his head and saw that Mu Gu had stopped in front of him, his chest still heaving violently.

"Xiao Yu'er...why are you leaving!"

Mu Gu didn't understand. Everything was going so smoothly, so why did Xiao Ruge leave without saying goodbye? He couldn't understand.

Xiao Ruge did not choose to hide it, she said it directly.

"I don't like the infighting in the court, and I don't want to be a bird imprisoned in a cage. I want to live for myself."

Xiao Ruge looked into the distance with a smile on her face.

"I want a free and unfettered second half of my life."

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge in front of him, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart. He was reluctant to give up something he had obtained with so much hardship, but Xiao Ruge in front of him was the one he was unwilling to give up. He made up his mind.

"Xiao Yu'er, just wait for me here, wait for me, okay?"

Xiao Ruge didn't know what Mu Gu was going to do, but she nodded and agreed subconsciously. She seemed to sense Mu Gu's intention, so she didn't try to persuade him.

In the twenty-fifth year of the Qinglong reign, at the beginning of spring, Mu Gu died suddenly in the palace.

Xiao Ruge finally got her Mu Gu, and from then on, the two of them became a legend in Kyoto and a glorious event in Qinglong's past.

From then on, he disappeared from the world and retired to the countryside.

They chose to live in peace and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
