Mu Gu sighed, lifted up his skirt, sat down on the bed and said softly: "Something happened to Third Brother, I'm going to bring people over to help!"
Hearing that Mu Huan was in trouble, Xiao Ruge sat up suddenly, looking solemn, "What happened?"
"My third brother was transporting grain and grass into Youzhou territory when he encountered an ambush. In order to protect the grain and grass, my third brother fell off a cliff and his whereabouts are unknown."
"what?"
Xiao Ruge didn't expect the situation to be so serious, and her brows furrowed.
"The news was brought back by the people sent to protect my third brother. I believe the memorial will be delivered to my father tomorrow."
Mu Gu was somewhat worried about Mu Huan's situation, and there was a deep sense of irritation in his eyes.
Sure enough, the emperor received the news during the morning court session the next day.
Mu Huan's disappearance made the emperor extremely angry. He ordered an investigation into who was behind the disappearance and also sent people to support Mu Huan.
I don’t know what tricks Mu Gu used, but he actually got this job.
Xiao Ruge took the opportunity to visit Ao Rong at the Third Prince's Mansion and met Mu Gu there, and handed him a few bottles of medicine.
"Here are medicines for wounds and internal injuries, as well as this bottle of life-extending pills. If the situation is critical, take one pill to prolong your life. You can only take two pills a day!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ruge took out another jade pendant from his arms and gave it to Mu Gu, asking him to go find Sun Yan and have Sun Yan bring people with him.
"I have asked someone to notify Sun Yan. Take him with you when you leave."
Ao Rong also prepared a lot of things, some of which could be taken and some of which could not be taken. Mu Gu picked up a few of the things that could be taken and then hurried out of the city.
Ao Rong looked very unhappy. Xiao Ruge held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Third Brother will be fine!"
Holding back the tears in her eyes, Ao Rong nodded vigorously, her palm subconsciously stroking her lower abdomen, her face full of determination, "Yes, he will be fine!"
Xiao Ruge raised her eyebrows and said, "Third sister-in-law, are you..."
Ao Rong smiled bitterly and nodded, "I felt unwell a few days ago, so I called a doctor to see me, and he found out that I was already over a month pregnant."
He had been planning on waiting for Mu Huan to come back and give him a surprise, but unexpectedly he received a shock first.
Xiao Ruge was worried, so she took Ao Rong's pulse herself and confirmed that apart from her mood swings, she was fine otherwise.
"Third sister-in-law, you are now a double-bodied person, you must take good care of yourself. You don't need to worry about Third Brother. Mu Gu and I have sent people to protect him, so nothing serious should happen. You are the most important thing!"
This is the first grandson of the royal family. His importance is self-evident and will also be helpful to Mu Huan's future.
Ao Rong also knew the importance of the matter. After thinking for a while, she said to Xiao Ruge, "His Highness is in trouble now. There must be someone in the court who wants to deal with him. The most likely suspect is the fifth prince Mu Bo."
"The biggest reason he did this was to eliminate dissidents and pave the way for his ascension to the throne. So I thought it would be better to let the news of my pregnancy out. This way, he might be distracted to deal with me, and His Highness would be more relaxed."
Although I don’t want to think about it, there is a high possibility that Mu Huan will not come back, which is also the worst outcome.
Ao Rong wanted to use herself and her child to buy Mu Huan a chance of survival.
Xiao Ruge frowned and thought for a moment. If this news was really released, it would not only ease the situation on Mu Huan's side, but also make the emperor value him more.
If not for others, even for the sake of his own eldest grandson, the emperor would not allow him to be born without a father.
But by doing so, Ao Rong would be in danger and very passive.
"Ruge, I don't trust anyone else. I need your help in this matter!"
Ao Rong held Xiao Ruge's hand tightly with her backhand, her eyes full of determination.
It seemed that she had made up her mind. Even if she objected, she would not listen, so Xiao Ruge nodded.
Then, less than an hour after Mu Gu and his men left the capital, the news of the Third Prince's wife fainting spread throughout the capital. When the imperial physician was invited to see her, it was discovered that she was pregnant.
This was a serious matter. Not only was everyone in the capital shocked, but even the royal family was shaken by this incident. Concubine Chun personally went out of the palace to bring Ao Rong in to take care of her.
Xiao Ruge was also recruited into the palace to accompany the Third Prince's wife.
This series of events caught people off guard. By the time some people reacted, Ao Rong had already been taken into the palace and was well protected.
"Snapped!"
A teacup fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Mu Bo sat there with cold eyes, looking at the staff below, his expression changing from gloomy to bright.
"How could Ao Rong be pregnant at this time? This child came at a really bad time!"
Several staff members also had gloomy faces. One of them, seeing Mu Bo so irritable, thought for a moment and stepped forward.
"Your Highness, the baby in the Third Prince's wife's belly is still young after all, and it is unknown whether it can be born. Right now, the most important thing for us is the Third Prince."
Mu Bo also knew what was more important, but he was a little worried about the baby in Ao Rong's belly.
He was upset and put the matter aside. He looked at the people below and asked, "Is there any news from Zhangqiu?"
The one sent to kill Mu Huan this time was Zhang Qiu. He brought a hundred assassins with him, and Mu Bo asked him to save Mu Huan's life.
However, things did not go smoothly. The secret agents planted in the army were eliminated on the fifth day of the departure, and Zhangqiu never found an opportunity to take action.
Now that he finally found an opportunity, he let Mu Huan jump off a cliff to escape. What a waste!
Mu Bo didn't know the situation in Zhangqiu, but several of his staff knew it clearly.
Mu Huan has always had someone protecting him, and I wonder how much effort Zhang Qiu put in to find such an opportunity.
But no one dared to plead for Zhang Qiu at this time, they could only say that he was trying his best to find him.
Mu Bo snorted coldly and asked someone to pass a message to Zhang Qiu, asking him to deal with Mu Huan as soon as possible. Then he got up and went into the palace.
After much thought, he felt that the baby in Ao Rong's belly must be aborted as soon as possible. He understood the principle of cutting the grass at its roots.
He doesn't want some little brat to rebel after he sits on the throne in the future.
……
After Xiao Ruge entered the palace, she was arranged to live with Ao Rong.
This was her own request. In order to be able to protect Ao Rong closely, she decided to eat and sleep with Ao Rong.
When Concubine Chun saw this, she took Xiao Ruge's hand and sighed, "This palace and the Third Master will remember your kindness and will definitely repay you in the future!"
"Empress Chun, since I call the Third Prince Third Brother, I must protect my Third Sister-in-law."
"Besides, you and Third Sister-in-law have given me a lot of good things. If I don't do my best, then I will have accepted all those things from the Queen and Third Sister-in-law in vain!"
Xiao Ruge said this playfully, and Concubine Chun knew she was joking.
In fact, Xiao Ruge was a child with a true nature. She liked him very much and gave him a lot of good things as a reward.
