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

Yang Shilang was obviously startled by Xiao Mingyue's sudden appearance. After all, this was one of the most famous restaurants in Kyoto. Usually, it was frequented by dignitaries. How could a woman like Xiao Mingyue, who never left the house, suddenly appear in such a place? Moreover... she was dressed in mourning clothes. If you didn't know, you would think she was here to seek revenge.

"Mrs. Lu, have you recognized the wrong person? I have never had any contact with you, so why would I specially ask you to meet me here?" Minister Yang looked at Xiao Mingyue calmly, trying to read something from her face.

Xiao Mingyue smiled with her hands covering her mouth, but there was a barely perceptible coldness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows: "Lord Yang is busy with his work, so naturally he doesn't remember a woman like me. However, I came here today to bring something that can help Lord Yang." After that, she took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve, which were found in the secret room. It is said that they were love poems written by Lu Yu himself.

Yang Shilang took the poem with doubt, and after just a quick glance, his face changed. This poem was gorgeous and corny, with a lot of rhetoric. It was obvious that it was not written by an ordinary writer, but more like... from the palace! Thinking of Xiao Mingyue's words just now, "can help Lord Yang", his heart suddenly "skipped". Could it be that...

"Mrs. Lu, please feel free to speak out if you have anything to say." Minister Yang put down the poem and his tone became serious.

"Lord Yang is a smart man, he must have guessed my intention." Xiao Mingyue smiled mysteriously, "I still have a lot of information about Lu Yu... No, I should say, about the illegitimate son of the current emperor. Lord Yang also knows that Mu Gu's power is growing in the court. If it continues like this, I'm afraid..."

She didn't continue, but the meaning of her words was self-evident. Minister Yang naturally understood that if Mu Gu gained power, with his past style of doing things, how could he and his old ministers have a good harvest? Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Mingyue with a more inquiring look: "What does Madam Lu want to do?"

Xiao Mingyue lowered her voice, leaned close to Minister Yang's ear, and said word by word: "As for the Empress Dowager, I'd like to trouble Lord Yang to say a few good words..."

After hearing this, Yang Shilang's face changed several times, but he finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Xiao Mingyue showed a smug smile on her face.

After Yang Shilang agreed to help, Xiao Mingyue's face was no longer happy, but a layer of gloom appeared on her face. She tapped the table lightly with her slender jade fingers, and said as if talking to herself: "The pressure from the Queen Mother is not enough. Mu Gu is stubborn. We have to think of a way to make him shut up completely..."

"Mrs. Lu, do you have any good ideas?" Minister Yang was a little nervous when he saw her like this. This woman looked weak and timid, but in fact she was very scheming. Who knew what evil she was planning.

"I heard that old man Mu Gu is a stickler for rules and hates it most when people play tricks on him..." Xiao Mingyue said this with a sneer on her face, "In that case, let's give him a 'return of favor'!"

A few days later, a ballad called "Bright Moon Ballad" suddenly spread in the streets of Kyoto. The song sang about how a noble man was bewitched by a femme fatale and ended up with his family broken up. At first glance, the ballad sounded like an ordinary folk story, but upon closer inspection, it was found that it matched the story of Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge in every way.

For a time, rumors spread everywhere, and people were talking about it. Some people even ran to the gate of Prince Mu's mansion and cursed Xiao Ruge in the nose, saying that she was a "beauty who brings disaster" and a "witch."

Xiao Ruge looked at the ferocious-looking people in front of her and found it ridiculous. As a princess of a country, when had she ever suffered such injustice? If it were in her previous life, she would have ordered these unruly people to be dragged out and beaten to death! But now, she had to swallow her anger and pretend to be pitiful, allowing those dirty words to pierce her like a sharp blade.

"You...you are slandering me!" Xiao Ruge bit her lip, her eyes reddened, but she stubbornly refused to shed tears.

"How dare you quibble!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and then a stone flew towards her and hit her on the forehead.

"Miss!" The maid beside her exclaimed and hurried forward to protect Xiao Ruge.

Blood flowed down Xiao Ruge's forehead, staining half of her cheek red, looking shocking. But those people not only did not stop, but became even more excited, and all kinds of dirty words surged like a tide, almost drowning her.

"Kill this witch!"

"Eliminate harm for the people!"

"Burn her! Burn her!"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer, and then a cold voice exploded in the crowd: "Let's see who dares to touch her!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Gu, dressed in black, riding a tall horse, appearing in front of everyone like a killing god. He dismounted and strode to Xiao Ruge's side, protecting her behind him. His cold eyes swept over everyone present, and a chilling murderous aura emanated from his body.

"Mu... Prince Mu..." When the common people saw that the person coming was Mu Gu, they were immediately frightened and silent. Although they were ignorant, they also knew how powerful Mu Gu was, and no one dared to offend him at this time.

Mu Gu ignored the people and just looked down at Xiao Ruge, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his tone: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Ruge shook her head, and said while enduring the pain: "I'm fine..."

"I'm glad you're okay." Mu Gu said, reaching out to wipe the blood off her face, but Xiao Ruge dodged him.

"Don't touch me!" Xiao Ruge took a step back and looked at Mu Gu coldly, "Don't you hate it most when others take advantage of you? Now, I have become a witch that everyone wants to beat. Are you satisfied?"

Mu Gu's hands froze in mid-air, and his expression froze for a moment. He looked at Xiao Ruge's cold eyes, and suddenly a sense of inexplicable panic surged in his heart.

"You...what are you talking about?" Mu Gu wanted to explain, but found that he had no idea where to start.

"You know what I said!" Xiao Ruge sneered, turned around and was about to leave, but Mu Gu grabbed her wrist.

"Let me go!"

"I won't let go!" Mu Gu held her wrist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go.

"Mu Gu, what do you want?" Xiao Ruge struggled hard for a few times, but found that she could not get free at all. She could only glare at the man in front of her.

Mu Gu looked at her with complicated eyes, and his thin lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Prince! Why are you here? Come back with me! The Queen Mother is seriously ill and is missing you now!"

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu turned their heads at the same time, only to see a nanny in palace dress and several eunuchs walking towards them aggressively.
