Xiao Ruge raised her head and looked at Mu Gu with a hint of disbelief in her eyes. Before Mu Gu said this, no one had ever said that they were willing to believe that her father was wronged.

People are often only willing to believe what they see in front of them, and never willing to take the time to think about whether something is right or wrong.

A warm feeling passed through Mu Gu's heart, and then she threw herself into Mu Gu's arms.

"Thank you, Mu Gu."

……

What spread in Kyoto would naturally spread throughout the palace soon. The first person to know was naturally Emperor Dalong. When he heard the good news about Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, Emperor Dalong probably would not believe for the first half of his life that he would be happy for the son whom he valued the least.

"Your Majesty, now the people of the capital are very fond of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince and Xiao Ruge, and they all praise them for doing a great thing for our Dalong."

The eunuch in charge always reads people's faces, and when he saw that Emperor Dalong showed unprecedented relief and happiness on his face after hearing that Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge were in the limelight, he knew that Emperor Dalong now felt from the bottom of his heart that Mu Gu was the one more worthy of cultivation, so his words to please Emperor Dalong became biased.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Dalong smiled and nodded.

"Yes, at least I have a child who is like me, who is intelligent and capable..."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Dalong was indeed very happy, and his complexion became much better. After thinking for a while, he gave instructions to the people around him.

"Go, issue an imperial edict. Summon all the officials of Dalong, as well as the princes and princesses, to the court tomorrow morning. I want to reward Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge accordingly! I will also announce the final winner!"

It was a rare occasion during this period of time that the eunuch in chief saw Emperor Dalong speak with such vigor, so he quickly stood up and responded, then hurriedly went down to deal with the matter that Emperor Dalong had ordered.

East Palace.

There was no one outside the hall, and the hall was filled with smoke. In the foggy room, lying on the highest armchair was Mu Bo with his chest half open. Ever since he had been unable to contact Qingxu not long ago, he had gradually begun to fall into complete indulgence.

He no longer listened to Qingxu's control, and assumed that Qingxu had completely given up on him, so he just let it go on like this.

"His Royal Highness..."

The person who came was Mu Bai's subordinate, one of the guards who usually guarded the door for him. He hurriedly ran into the hall, trying his best to suppress his eyes that subconsciously wanted to look around, and then ran straight to Mu Bai's footsteps, his chest still heaving violently from the fast running just now.

Mu Bo frowned in dissatisfaction, then spoke impatiently.

"Didn't I tell you not to come in unless it's important? Do you want to die?"

Mu Bo had been hitting a wall everywhere recently. He just felt that his luck was extremely bad. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, and now someone came to his door. Just as he was about to let go of the beauty in his arms, he stood up and wanted to take his sword.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man kowtowed and spoke.

"Your Highness, spare my life! Please listen to me first!"

Mu Bo snorted coldly and glanced at the guards who had no dignity under his feet. The feeling of superiority in his heart instantly made him feel much happier, so he relaxed for a rare moment.

"If it's not a serious matter, just wait to die."

The man shuddered all over. After thinking about which of the two options, telling the matter and being taken out on by Mu Bo or keeping it secret, which one would make him more likely to be killed by Mu Bo, he decided to bite the bullet and tell the news he heard in the palace.

"I heard that Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge stole the show in Kyoto today..."

Mu Bo's expression really became serious. He then looked at the guard in front of him and raised his hand to ask him to stand up.

"Come on, come forward and tell me, what exactly is going on?"

The guard swallowed and moved forward fearfully, but still kept a certain distance in case Mu Bo got angry and strangled him to death.

"Your Highness, I heard that it was Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge... They worked with the Dali Temple to arrest many corrupt officials and raid the residences of many high-ranking officials... People all over the city are talking about it..."

In fact, when he heard the previous sentence, Mu Bo's temples had already begun to throb, but he still resisted the urge to explode, and spoke while pinching his nose.

"say what?"

Seeing that Mu Bo didn't seem to be angry yet, he took a deep breath and told him all the information.

"The common people say that the Seventh Prince Mu Gu, who can do practical things for Dalong, is more suitable to be the crown prince of Dalong... and they also say that Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Mu Bo's heart suddenly twitched, and hearing the guard's stuttering made him even more angry. He raised his hand and threw the wine bottle on the table at the man's head, roaring.

"Say it all at once! If you do this again, I'll kill you right now!"

The guard's pupils trembled violently, and then he immediately poured out everything he had heard like shaking a sieve.

"He also said that the current Crown Prince is a waste! If he does nothing, Dalong will be ruined in his hands sooner or later..."

Even though these words were said by the common people, the guard couldn't help but lower his voice as he finished speaking in one breath. He kept a close eye on Mu Bo's condition and didn't dare to let down his guard.

But just as the guards were preparing to face Mu Bo's storm, the person above their heads did not speak for a long time. The guards bravely raised their heads slowly and saw Mu Bo, whose hands were almost deformed by the wine jar and whose forehead was bulging with veins due to anger.

This look was even more terrifying than when he was furious and cursing. The guard still valued his life, so he quietly took two steps back without leaving any trace, and then he spoke bravely.

"Your Highness, those common people are blind. How can they compare Mu Gu with you?"

Hearing the guard's words, Mu Bai opened his eyes suddenly as if he was hit by something. He stared at the guard who was still kneeling in front of him and did not dare to stand up for half an incense stick of time. When the guard was already sweating profusely in this deep winter, Mu Bai spoke, and at the same time he raised his hands and threw things on the ground randomly.

"Who are they? A bunch of ignorant people. Why do they think Mu Gu should be the crown prince?"

"Who the hell is Mu Gu? How dare you compete with me?"

"Why is everyone against me?"

Mu Bo's angry curses and the sound of things smashing to the ground instantly filled the entire East Palace.

As soon as Mu Bo showed signs of getting angry, the group of women wisely left the hall quickly, as if they had known Mu Bo's temper for a long time.

At this moment, the guards could only stay far away and did not dare to leave. They could only bear the anger alone.
