"It was my fault for being careless and causing Madam to recall the unpleasant past."

After listening to what Xiao Ruge said, Minister Yang bowed his hands again to express his apologies. Perhaps a year ago, Xiao Ruge might still be unable to understand how the Xiao family and Xiao Mingyue treated her at that time, but after this serious illness, she has let it go.

Hearing Minister Yang say this, Xiao Ruge hurried forward and helped the man up.

"Minister Yang, there is no need to be like this. I no longer care about the past. Now I just hope to live a good life."

Xiao Ruge's meaning was obvious. She secretly expressed that she was unwilling to get involved in Xiao Mingyue's affairs. Since Xiao Ruge was unwilling to intervene, Mu Gu naturally would not get involved either, and Minister Yang could not insist any longer.

After listening to what Xiao Ruge said, he nodded slowly.

"In that case, I have no further questions. I will take my leave now."

Mu Gu also stood up and sent Minister Yang out with Xiao Ruge.

The three of them arrived at the gate of the mansion. Minister Yang turned towards Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge with a little more admiration in his eyes.

"My Lord, Madam, please stay."

Mu Gu bowed to Minister Yang and watched him leave the gate of the mansion. Mu Gu didn't have much feeling. Xiao Ruge heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Minister Yang's carriage disappear at the end of the road.

Mu Gu was unusually unaware of Xiao Ruge's mood changes, which made Xiao Ruge unable to help but turn her head. She saw Mu Gu's eyes fixed on the end of the road.

She could clearly see the admiration and appreciation in the eyes of those around her.

"Emperor Dalong is indeed not short of talented people."

Mu Gu was never one to express his approval all the time, and it was obvious how much he admired Minister Yang. Xiao Ruge could clearly see the ambition in Mu Gu's eyes. From the first time they worked together, she knew that Mu Gu wanted to be emperor.

The reason is simple. No one respects him and no one thinks he is capable, but Mu Gu insists on doing it.

He was the least favored prince. Even the eighth prince Mu Li, who was just a little boy, was more favored than Mu Gu.

In some ways, Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu are the same type of people, that is, they refuse to admit defeat and do not obey orders.

The two were attracted to each other because of their personalities.

"Mu Gu, do what you want to do, I will always support you."

Mu Gu turned his head, with a slight surprise in his eyes, which then slowly turned into joy. He held Xiao Ruge's hand tightly.

"it is good."

When Minister Yang came to Mu Gu's mansion, he did not have any good impression of this prince. He heard many rumors about Mu Gu in the palace, saying that he had a bad character, was profit-driven, and had a vicious heart.

He heard it so many times that he began to believe it.

What he saw today was beyond his expectation.

Since the natural disaster in Huaizhou was dealt with, he should have had the time and opportunity to rest for a while, but during this period of time, he was still frequently in and out of the palace, and the reason was very simple.

Mu Bo is a useless piece of mud, which is really disgusting to look at.

The crown prince of a country was addicted to wine and women all day long, thinking about those dirty things all the time, seeking pleasure in the East Palace all day long, and finally ruined his body beyond recognition.

He learned that something went wrong with Mu Bo when he overheard Da Longdi complaining while they were drinking tea and playing chess.

Although Emperor Dalong said that he hated his son for not living up to his expectations and that he would depose him sooner or later, Minister Yang was also very clear about how much Emperor Dalong valued and doted on his eldest son Mu Bo.

But that is ultimately selfish. Minister Yang is a good friend of Emperor Dalong and Dalong's most loyal minister. Naturally, he should put the rise and fall of Dalong's national fortune as the top priority.

Emperor Dalong himself could say that Mu Bo's position as crown prince should be abolished, but no one else could bring it up.

Therefore, Minister Yang could only go to the palace again and again to talk with Emperor Dalong all night long, recalling the past from childhood to adulthood and imagining the future of Dalong, in order to arouse Emperor Dalong's attention to the country's destiny.

If Dalong is to continue for a long time, Mu Bo cannot become the crown prince.

But no matter how much effort Minister Yang put in, Emperor Dalong always managed to talk his way around and make amends for his eldest son.

Minister Yang had no other choice but to find another way. Even if it meant risking the emperor having ulterior motives and plotting a rebellion, he had to find a prince who could take on the important task of crown prince and use all his life's knowledge to support him.

Emperor Dalong had a total of eight children, four girls and four boys. Excluding Mu Bo and Mu Xu who had been exiled to the border forever, there were only Mu Gu and Mu Li left in Kyoto.

In fact, from the very beginning, the first person that Minister Yang thought of was not Mu Gu, but he first visited Mu Li's mother. Although the little prince Mu Li was not very old, Minister Yang could see at a glance that Mu Li was very smart and courageous, and was a talented person with great potential.

But Mu Li's mother Mingzhu was a timid woman. She was extremely flustered when she saw Minister Yang wanted to talk to her on the occasion of delivering the imperial edict. It was the half-grown Mu Li who took charge of the conversation with Minister Yang on Mingzhu's behalf and spoke fluently.

But even if the child is a talented person, Mu Li's mother must have the courage to support him. In addition, if the mother and son, who are weak in power, really oppose Mu Bo, and if Mu Bo finds out that they are trying to seize his position as crown prince, he will definitely find ways to make the mother and son disappear from the palace.

And the last choice is Mu Gu.

After hearing so many rumors, he no longer had any unrealistic fantasies about the seventh prince, but seeing him once really gave him a big surprise.

No matter from which aspect, Mu Gu is the best choice to replace Mu Bo.

Minister Yang was very good at judging people. He could clearly feel the ambition hidden in Mu Gu's calm eyes. This was a man who could accomplish great things.

But the first difficulty was to make the seventh prince Mu Gu catch the eye of Emperor Dalong.

And going to Mu Gu's house so openly under the pretext of investigating Xiao Mingyue was also a way for Minister Yang to hint at some swaying people in the court.

He wanted to use this secret method to tell certain people in the Dalong court who spread rumors that he, Minister Yang, was optimistic about Mu Gu.

Needless to say, Minister Yang's status in the court is high and respected, and many people respect him.

And based on the feeling Mu Gu gave him, he was sure that Mu Gu was definitely not as helpless and without any connections in the palace as he appeared to be.

He will definitely cultivate his own wings in the palace, Kyoto, and even various places in Dalong.

Mu Gu is very smart and never publicizes what he does, so his strength is unfathomable. Even someone like Minister Yang who has eyes and ears all around knows nothing about Mu Gu's strength.

On the way back, Yang Shilang thought for a long time. He knew that once this arrow was shot out of the bow, there was no possibility of turning back.

He will not regret it, because he has always had only one position, which is for Dalong and for the world.
