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

But since the emperor had put him on such a pedestal, he had no choice but to accept it, so he gritted his teeth and bowed.

"My lord, take your orders!"

After this little episode, the emperor finally got his wish and went down to court. As soon as he left the front hall, he returned to the main hall to summon Qingxu. At the moment, nothing was more important than making himself immortal.

"Your Majesty, Lan Zhizhang has already met the emperor, and the news of the flood in Huaizhou has been known to many officials."

Cang Xu reported the news in the palace to Mu Gu with an expressionless face.

Mu Gu curled the corners of his mouth, played with sandalwood beads in his hands, lay on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest. After hearing what Cang Xu said, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Very good. The news of the severe flood in Huaizhou will spread all over Kyoto within a day."

Mu Gu slowly stood up and handed a bag of silver to Cang Xu. The latter's expressionless face changed slightly. Mu Gu understood that Cang Xu was someone he had rescued by chance in the past, and since then he had been working for him wholeheartedly. Apart from having enough food to eat and a place to live, he never accepted any money from Mu Gu.

"This is for you to hand it over to Mo Yi and the others, to spread the news of Huaizhou more seriously, and then take the brothers to have a good meal and drink."

Cang Xu then returned to normal, took the purse from Mu Gu, then turned and left.

Mu Gu looked at Cang Xu who disappeared in the courtyard. She was confident that this game would make it impossible for Xiao Mingyue to recover. The development of things was completely under her control.

Mu Gu was well aware of the current situation in the palace. The emperor was obsessed with the art of immortality, so naturally the matter would be handed over to Minister Yang. He had to find out whether there was really a flood in Huaizhou. It took three or four days to go back and forth. This period of time was enough for him to lure Xiao Mingyue into the game.

He has already made his choice of the person who will gain Xiao Mingyue's trust.

Just after noon, news of the severe flood in Huaizhou spread quickly throughout the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

Although Minister Yang and Xiao Mingyue repeatedly warned her not to go out unless necessary, Xiao Mingyue still didn't listen. She absolutely couldn't stay at home and do nothing waiting for her fate to be decided. Especially in the past two days, the baby in her belly started to move, which made Xiao Mingyue more and more uneasy.

You don't know until you go out, and as soon as you go out, you will encounter big trouble.

"Have you heard? The governor of Huaizhou has come to Kyoto."

"I heard that they came here for the flood in Huaizhou. Several people were sent here but they died on the way. Finally, the governor of Huaizhou came here in person to report."

"This is a good official. He really loves the people like his own children."

"It's just a pity for Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue. He has been very busy these days!"

People were talking about the flood in Huaizhou everywhere. When Xiao Mingyue walked to a tea stall, she heard several people chatting. When she heard the name of Minister Yang, she immediately became alert, walked quickly to the man, and spoke eagerly without caring about her face.

"Shouldn't the Huaizhou flood relief be provided directly with money? Why does the Minister of Revenue need to do that?"

The people at the tea stall were startled at first when they heard the sudden voice, but they immediately put on a smile when they saw that it was a woman with outstanding appearance.

"Oh, young lady, you probably don't understand that the duty of Minister Yang of the Ministry of Revenue is to take care of these matters."

"My uncle was on duty in the palace and witnessed the entire incident at the morning court today. The emperor did not seem to believe the words of the Huaizhou governor, so he sent Minister Yang to verify the situation."

"Yes, Minister Yang is a civil servant, and he has to go deep into such dangerous places. It is really difficult to be an official nowadays. If he fails, he may even lose his life."

"Hey, life is not easy in this world..."

When Xiao Mingyue heard the news, she felt as if the sky had fallen down. She had finally gotten in touch with Minister Yang, but now it was severed. She left the tea stall in a daze. She had originally planned to find Minister Yang and ask him to take her to see the emperor, but on the way she heard someone say that Minister Yang had already packed up and was leaving.

Right now she really doesn't know what to do.

"Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu?"

Xiao Mingyue was passing by an alley when she suddenly heard someone calling her. When she raised her head, she saw a man who was wrapped up tightly, even his face was covered. As she was pregnant, she was in such a dilemma, so she had to be cautious.

"Who are you? Why do you know me?"

"The rain is pouring down like a river."

The man took off the black mask on his face and said a line of poetry. Xiao Ruge felt as if an electric current went through her body. This was the codeword that Minister Yang left in the restaurant that day.

"The wind is as raging as a mountain, and the rain is as pouring as a river."

This is what they use to communicate when there is an emergency.

Only she and Minister Yang knew this codeword, and since there was a third person who knew it, he must be someone Minister Yang trusted.

Seeing Xiao Mingyue's expression moved, the man spoke quickly.

"Mrs. Lu, this is not the place to talk."

Although Xiao Mingyue still had some doubts in her heart at this time, she had no other choice in this situation. She could only believe it for the time being. She trusted her own eyes very much. If there was something wrong with that person during the communication, she would be able to see the problem.

Prince's Mansion

"Is Xiaoyuer awake?"

During this period of time, Xiao Ruge had been living in Mu Gu's mansion. Since the mansion had everything it needed, Xiao Ruge gave Bai Zhi a vacation. When Bai Zhi heard the news that Xiao Ruge was ill, she could not sit still any longer, so she hurried to the prince's mansion to take care of Xiao Ruge personally.

"No, the lady has been in a coma for two or three days..."

Facing Mu Gu's question, Bai Zhi answered in a cold tone. Although she and Xiao Ruge were master and servant, they were better than sisters. Most of the time, she treated Xiao Ruge as her sister. Therefore, Bai Zhi was angry at Mu Gu for not taking good care of Xiao Ruge, which caused her to catch such a serious cold.

Mu Gu also knew how important Bai Zhi was in Xiao Ruge's heart, so he did not treat Bai Zhi the same way he treated other maids.

"Your Majesty, this kind of situation would never happen to the young lady when she was under my care..."

When Bai Zhi said this, she looked at Xiao Ruge with eyes full of heartache. Mu Gu would naturally remember who was good to Xiao Ruge. He also clearly saw the heartache in Bai Zhi's eyes, and knew that Bai Zhi was referring to him.

If it was someone else who dared to say this to Mu Gu, Mu Gu would have had his body destroyed without even being found, but this was the person Xiao Ruge treated as her sister.

"I'm sorry, Bai..."

"Your Majesty, just call me Baizhi."

"it is good."

"My Lord, if the young lady will stay with you often in the future, I will explain the matters of taking care of the young lady to the maids in your mansion. Please take good care of her."

Mu Gu waved his hand and looked at Xiao Ruge lying on the bed.

"Tell me, and I'll remember it."
