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

In fact, Mu Li had just walked out of the hall. After thinking for a while, he remembered how his mother looked when he received the imperial edict earlier.

Although she didn't say anything to stop him from going, she was unwilling to let Mu Li do such a thing. Concubine Mingzhu had been hiding in the deep palace for her whole life. In her eyes, the way to survive in the palace safely was to not stand out and reduce her own existence.

Therefore, Mingzhu also thought the same about her only child Mu Li. If she could protect him for a lifetime, she would protect him for a lifetime.

Unknown to Mingzhu, Mu Li had already grown into a young man with his own independent thinking.

When Mu Li arrived at the gate of Concubine Shu's palace, he found out that Mingzhu had hanged herself just to prevent him from receiving the imperial edict from his father. She wanted to keep him out of contact with state affairs and trap him in the deep palace for the rest of his life, unable to do anything.

Mingzhu just wants Mu Li to stay with her for the rest of her life.

When Mu Li walked into the room, Concubine Mingzhu had been rescued and placed quietly on the mattress.

Although Mu Li was really unhappy, he softened his expression and walked to the bedside. He took Concubine Mingzhu's hand out from under the quilt and held it in his palm.

My mother's hands have always been so cold. From childhood to adulthood, Mu Li used his own warmth to warm Concubine Mingzhu's hands. I don't know when, Mu Li's hands grew to the same size as Mingzhu's.

As if sensing Mu Li's arrival, Concubine Mingzhu's eyeballs moved, and after her eyelashes fluttered a few times, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Lake..."

Concubine Mingzhu lay weakly on the bed, trying to call out Mu Li's name, because the marks on her neck from being hanged by the white silk pierced Mu Li's eyes sharply.

"Mother, I'm here."

Mingzhu held Mu Li's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would disappear.

"It's good that Li'er is here...it's good that Li'er is here..."

Concubine Mingzhu Shu gently closed her eyes and a few tears rolled down.

Just the night before, she had a dream. She dreamed that Mu Li was involved in the recent political disputes. But how could such a small child fight against his two brothers who were as fierce as jackals and tigers, and how could he deal with those cunning ministers? She dreamed that her child died tragically in the palace, and no one cared about him in the end.

Therefore, she watched the person extremely closely during those two days and hardly allowed anyone to leave her side. But what she feared came true. Early this morning, the eunuch came to convey her order.

Mu Li was summoned to the court.

For a moment, Mingzhu wanted to send the eunuch away, and then take Mu Li to find a place to hide where no one could find them, but this was obviously unrealistic.

That is the imperial decree, the will of heaven, and it cannot be violated.

So she could only stand at the door and watch Mu Li leave with her father-in-law. Seeing that he did not come back for a long time, the ominous feeling in her heart became deeper and deeper. She was really afraid that the dream she had that night would come true, and she was afraid that one of the most cautious relatives in this world would leave her.

Therefore, he thought of hanging himself to force Mu Li to come back.

Her goal was achieved, but seeing the obvious displeasure on Mu Li's face, Mingzhu couldn't help but start to feel sad. As a mother, she just wanted to protect her child, but why didn't he understand.

The imperial physician also arrived in time. This kind of thing was commonplace, so he didn't find it strange. He felt Concubine Mingzhu's pulse, treated the abrasions on her neck, prescribed some tranquilizers, and then left.

Obviously, Concubine Mingzhu was not seriously injured, but Mu Li did have a deep knot in his heart.

"Mother, please have a good rest. Li'er will leave first..."

Mingzhu wanted to say something, but she couldn't utter a word. She could only watch Mu Li slowly stand up and leave the room.

Mu Li sat on the steps leading to the yard in a daze, his eyes full of unwillingness. He couldn't go against his mother's words, but he also couldn't convince himself to let go of the regret that was so close to him.

……

When everything was over, Mu Bai simply didn't even bother to put on a show. He didn't slow down to pay his respects to Emperor Dalong, but left directly, in a hurry as if he was going to meet someone. All of this was seen by Minister Yang.

Mu Gu naturally noticed these things, but he had never been liked by the Dalong Emperor, so naturally no one would care whether he greeted others or not. He was about to leave and go back to discuss this matter with Xiao Ruge in the mansion, when someone came from behind and stopped him.

"Seventh Prince, His Majesty summons you."

Mu Gu was stunned and looked carefully, then he saw the eunuch in charge talking to him with a smile on his face. Mu Gu raised his eyebrows in confusion, then pointed at himself and winked at the eunuch in charge.

The eunuch in charge is also Mu Gu's own man. The previous few times that Emperor Dalong wanted to see him, it was the eunuch in charge who helped him get out. Logically speaking, if Emperor Dalong summoned him, the eunuch in charge would find a way to deal with it for him.

"To summon me?"

The eunuch in charge slowly lowered his eyes.

"Yes, summon His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

Mu Gu was just about to ask the eunuch in charge to find an excuse for him to go up to the court, but before he could open his mouth, he heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice.

"What? The Seventh Prince doesn't want to see me?"

The voice of Emperor Dalong suddenly appeared behind him, causing Mu Gu to freeze all over. He did not expect that Emperor Dalong would come in person.

Mu Gu calmed himself down, then slowly turned his head and bowed in a somewhat awkward manner.

"My son, I will meet my father."

Emperor Dalong let out a sound from his nose and raised his hand.

"Stand up, the Seventh Prince has not answered my question yet."

Mu Gu slowly straightened up, and seeing that Emperor Dalong still had no intention of letting him go, he organized his words a little and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. How could this son not want to meet you? It's just that..."

Mu Gu's sudden pause in voice and slightly lost look aroused Emperor Dalong's curiosity, so he asked Mu Gu.

"Just how?"

Mu Gu looked up at Emperor Dalong, then lowered his head as if he had been electrocuted.

"It's just that I have never been as likable as my elder brother, and the emperor has always been reluctant to see me."

Emperor Dalong was speechless for a moment. He really couldn't remember when he had done such a thing, so he looked at the eunuch in charge beside him with some confusion.

"Have I really treated the Seventh Prince in this way?"

The eunuch in charge was suddenly asked, and seeing Emperor Dalong's serious expression, he answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince told the truth. Some years ago, when the Seventh Prince was still a child, he wanted to pay his respects to Your Majesty, but was kicked out by Your Majesty."

Emperor Dalong's eyes widened instantly. He really couldn't remember that he had ever done such an excessive thing. He had never looked at Mu Gu carefully before, but now that he looked closely, he found that he was 70% similar to his deceased mother.
