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

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge, who was still shivering with cold beside him, and raised his hand to hug her into his arms. However, the latter struggled hard. Mu Gu was worried that they would both fall off the bench, so he quickly let go of Xiao Ruge and looked down at her in confusion.

"what happened?"

Xiao Ruge shook her head violently, then spoke with her lips trembling slightly.

"Pay attention...for a moment, I...I don't want to...lag behind."

Mu Gu was stunned. After such a long time, he almost forgot that Xiao Ruge was still a strong-willed person at heart. If he tried to persuade her to leave forcefully, it would probably backfire and hurt her self-esteem.

Mu Gu shook his head, threw away the thoughts in his mind, suppressed the heartache in his heart, and nodded.

"it is good."

Then he pulled off his outer robe. Xiao Ruge widened her eyes when she saw this and raised her hand to push him away. However, Mu Gu did not choose to back down this time. Instead, he forcefully wrapped him tightly with his outer robe.

"I respect you and don't try to persuade you to leave, but you have to accept this."

Perhaps it was Mu Gu's condition, or perhaps it was because the robe still retained the residual warmth from Mu Gu, which made her reluctant to push it away. Xiao Ruge nodded gently.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince..."

The weak and hoarse voice that suddenly came from behind made both of them startled, and then they realized that there was another guy suffering in the dungeon.

Mu Gu turned around slowly, and was frightened by the scene in front of him.

In the cage, Jia Yunsheng, wearing bloody, smelly and ill-fitting clothes, was lying on a haystack. His face was pale and lifeless. He was holding the bars of the cage with both hands and put his head between the two bars. He looked disheveled and in a miserable state.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, please give me some water to drink..."

Mu Gu remembered that just a second ago he was joking with Xiao Ruge that only Jia Yunsheng could sleep in this dungeon. Who would have thought that when he turned around he would see this jaw-dropping scene.

It seems that the person was not sleeping soundly at all, but was in so much pain that he fainted. If nothing is done, he might die. Mu Gu hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table, poured water into the tea bowl, and then handed it to Jia Yunsheng. He then saw that he began to drink it in big gulps, and the bowl of water was empty in an instant.

Mu Gu was just about to put the teapot back on the table when he heard the person lying on the ground shaking the tea bowl again.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince..."

This time, before Jia Yunsheng finished speaking, the bowl in his hand felt heavy.

It was not until the fifth bowl of water that Jia Yunsheng's complexion began to look normal, but he was still very weak.

Xiao Ruge was so shocked when she saw this scene that her mouth twitched.

"Chief Jia and the others...did they abuse you..."

No matter how surprised Xiao Ruge was, it was hard to believe that Jia Yunsheng had not been treated inhumanely given the look on his face. However, Xiao Ruge forgot that staying in this dungeon was inhuman abuse in itself.

At this time, Jia Yunsheng no longer cared whether his hands were dirty or not. He raised his hand to wipe off the water on his face, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly spoke.

"That's not the case. It's just that staying in this dungeon is too tiring. The grass is damp and wet, and there are many insects that bite me and make me feel uncomfortable."

Although Jia Yunsheng kept complaining at first that he didn't want to be a stand-in, he was still very clear-headed when it was really needed.

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, may I ask how long do I have to stay here?"

If he has to hold on a little longer, Jia Yunsheng will have absolutely no complaints, but there has to be a deadline, otherwise how can he get through these long and difficult days.

Mu Gu frowned slightly. In fact, he had thought about this problem when he switched shifts with Jia Jingtian and others.

This news has now spread like wildfire in Kyoto. Logically speaking, considering his previous impatience, it is impossible for the person behind the scenes not to show up at this time.

Time is limited now. If they cannot catch the person within three days, they will have to give up. What is more important now is to win the game to fill the national treasury and take over the military power of those one thousand households.

"Wait for Ruge and I to take over next time. If that person doesn't show up again, we'll think of another way."

Hearing Mu Gu's words, Jia Yunsheng in the prison breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had hope. Then he slowly moved to the inside of the cage. After all, if he kept his face pressed against the bar like this, even if the killer arrived in the dungeon, he would see his face that obviously did not belong to Qin Yanwei and would probably turn around and run away.

What followed was a long and agonizing wait.

One round lasted two hours, and after another two rounds, it was already the early morning of the deadline. For more than two days, they had not even seen the figure of the killer.

Mu Gu clearly felt that Xiao Ruge's condition had been getting worse and worse over the past few hours. She had been trying hard to hold on to her will, while Jia Yunsheng in the prison had completely lost his spirit and was leaning against the wall, staggering.

Even if it takes a long time, you must not hang yourself on a tree. You cannot hesitate when it is time to change the plan.

"Chief Jia, let's not wait any longer. Let's change our plans."

Just when Jia Jingtian brought Jia Yunshui to change for the next round, Mu Gu gathered everyone together.

"Everyone, is there any other solution?"

After hearing what Mu Gu said, Jia Jingtian immediately asked someone to take Jia Yunsheng out to see a doctor. After all, he was the child he raised, and it would be okay for him to bully him on weekdays, but now seeing him in such a state, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel heartbroken.

But this is their mission and there is no way to avoid it.

In fact, when Mu Gu made this decision, his mind was a mess. He couldn't think of anything at the moment. He simply knew that he couldn't endure this any longer. If he continued to endure, before the person was caught, his people would die.

He had no other ideas, so he could only look to the others for help.

Then everyone was surprisingly unanimous in silence. Over the past two days, everyone had been miserable and had no time to think.

"Hey... I have a solution."

Xiao Ruge covered her mouth and coughed twice, then spoke in a low voice.

"There is still one way now, and it is also our last chance."

This was also the reason why Xiao Ruge realized last night that there was a high possibility that the mastermind was behind this and became alert. She did not dare to come to the Dali Temple easily. After some thought, she came up with this desperate method.

"Everyone knows that Qin Yanwei is imprisoned in the Dali Temple now. So whether he is dead or alive, the killer may not have the courage to break in."

"Then we should take the initiative and expose Qin Yanwei to the public. It's a risky move."
