Mu Gu raised his eyebrows and looked at the person in his arms. He could see through Xiao Ruge's evil intentions at a glance.

“Of course, Xiao Yu’er, just ask, even if you want the stars and the moon in the sky, I will find a way to pick them down for you.

Xiao Ruge turned over, hugged Mu Gu's neck tightly, buried her head in Mu Gu's neck, and spoke slowly after a long time.

"I don't want the stars or the moon, Mu Gu, I just want you to stay with me forever."

Mu Gu's hand on Xiao Ruge's shoulder trembled violently, and it felt like a gap in his heart was filled, and his whole body became warm in an instant.

He gently curled the corners of his mouth, hugged the person tightly, and after a long time, he uttered a few words.

"Okay, I promise you."

Apart from Lu Xuanying, only a few people knew that Lu Yu was still alive. Besides Lu Xuanying, the only other person who knew about this was his adviser, Shangguan Daocheng.

After Lu Yu returned to Kyoto, he simply asked Lu Xuanying to pick him up. He had only seen Lu Xuanying these days. Although Shangguan Daocheng was loyal to him, after all, the fewer people who knew about his fake death, the better. Even if no one from his own side betrayed him and told the secret, if it was seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble.

Originally, he had already discussed with Shangguan Daocheng in advance about making his identity public, including how to deal with Mu Bo, Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge. Everything had been arranged and just needed to proceed according to the plan. There was no need to go to the trouble of meeting with Shangguan Daocheng.

The sudden change caught him off guard. Lu Yu himself had a rough plan on how to proceed, but in the final analysis it was only the result of his own thinking and was ultimately not comprehensive enough.

As a killer, Lu Xuanying couldn't help much in this regard. For now, he could only call Shangguan Daocheng over to discuss how to deal with the next matter.

Shangguan Daocheng was originally a child from a wealthy family. He was famous for his supernatural powers in the surrounding area. When his family was prosperous, he was full of ambitions and had lofty aspirations. He was determined to pass the imperial examinations and contribute his own strength to the world.

When he was just a teenager, he passed the imperial examination and won the third place.

Just when Shangguan Daocheng was about to realize his ambition and take the palace examination, something unexpected happened at home.

Shangguan Daocheng's father, Shangguan Zhuo, was an honest and upright official throughout his life and was loved by the people, but he also made countless enemies in the court. It was precisely because of his lax vigilance that time that people took advantage of the opportunity to frame the Shangguan family for embezzlement and bribery of a large amount of money. Shangguan Zhuo was executed in court, and the entire Shangguan family was executed. Shangguan Daocheng once thought about appealing for justice in the palace, but was stopped by Lu Yu. It was because of this that Shangguan Daocheng saved his life. From then on, he lost hope in the Dalong court. With his talents nowhere to be used, he took the initiative to volunteer to follow Lu Yu, be his counselor, and give Lu Yu advice.

Shangguan Daocheng looks like a scholar with a childish face. He is only twenty-three years old now, but he is extremely meticulous. He has given Lu Yu advice and put in a lot of effort.

"General, Mr. Shangguan is here."

When Lu Xuanying came in to report the news, Lu Yu had already prepared tea in the reception room. Hearing the voice, Lu Yu looked up and then nodded slightly.

"Let Mr. Shangguan come in."

"Yes."

After weighing many factors, Lu Yu decided to call Shangguan Daocheng to discuss the matter.

Shangguan Daocheng bowed to Lu Yu as soon as he entered the room and sat down at the table in front of Lu Yu.

"Mr. Shangguan, how are you?"

Lu Yu poured a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Shangguan Daocheng, then spoke slowly.

"Mr. Shangguan should know what I am talking about."

Shangguan Daocheng nodded slowly and listened carefully to Lu Yu's words.

"General, just tell your superior the results you need later. I will handle the rest for you."

Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction. This was what he liked most about Shangguan Daocheng. He was always so decisive and never dragged his feet. Having such a counselor saved him a lot of trouble.

Lu Yu took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and told Shangguan everything that had happened in the past few days, including Xiao Mingyue's arrest and the reason for it, as well as his plan to enter the palace through the secret passage and reveal his identity.

"What do you think, Mr. Shangguan?"

Lu Yu looked at Shangguan Daocheng who was thinking with his head down. Although his expression was very calm, he was actually very anxious about this matter, so he asked.

After listening to this, Shangguan Daocheng felt that this matter was indeed a bit tricky. Although it would not cause any major problems, it would inevitably lead to the loss of some goals that could have been achieved together. He was very clear about Lu Yu's habits of doing things, and he would never give up any opportunity that might be beneficial to him.

Shangguan Daocheng frowned. It was obviously impossible to be perfect in the current situation.

"Now it all depends on what result you want, General. All Shangguan can do is try his best to help you achieve it."

Lu Yu naturally knew that it was unrealistic to want to get rid of all his enemies in one fell swoop, so he would naturally not come up with such an unrealistic idea.

"Mr. Shangguan, given the current situation, I think we can settle for the second best and let me secure my position as the prince first."

Shangguan Daocheng slowly relaxed his brows, at least there was a high probability that this thing would come true.

"This is not difficult to do, but I still have a question, Xiao Mingyue, do you want her to live or die?"

Lu Yu got a headache whenever he mentioned the woman Xiao Mingyue. If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Mingyue was pregnant with a little prince who would be beneficial to him, he would never have kept her.

But she was pregnant with his own child, so he had no choice.

This passive feeling was very uncomfortable and Lu Yu didn't like it very much. He had always taken advantage of others, but this time, Xiao Mingyue was taking advantage of him by relying on the child in her belly.

During the time he was on the road, he had heard that Xiao Mingyue had been looking for ways to prove his identity as Prince Lu Yu. The reason was very simple. She wanted to rely on the prince in her belly to climb up the social ladder and live off the royal bloodline of the child for the rest of her life.

But Xiao Mingyue, this extremely stupid woman, made the mistake of trusting just anyone on the street, and ended up hurting Lu Yu badly.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's face became much gloomier and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Let her live for now. She has my child in her belly."

Shangguan Daocheng just stared with his eyes wide open, wondering when Lu Yu had become so soft-hearted, but then he changed his mind and suddenly understood everything.

It’s still the same Lu Yu who takes advantage of others everywhere.
