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

After saying that, he left Ronghui Hall without looking back.

Watching her son walking away dejectedly, Old Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt like she was about to lose her son.

Unlike the Xiao family who had suffered a disaster, Xiao Ruge had already arrived at the palace gate with the old eunuch. After getting off the carriage, the old eunuch took her into the Chonghua Gate.

"Miss Xiao Er, don't be nervous. Our emperor is a very kind person. Just answer whatever he asks you. It's okay!"

"Yes, thank you for your advice, sir!"

Since the other party was showing goodwill to her, Xiao Ruge naturally had to express her gratitude.

She glanced at Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi immediately stepped forward and stuffed a bulging purse into the old eunuch's hand.

"This is our young lady's first time in the palace. If she does anything wrong, we'll have to trouble you to take care of her, eunuch!"

The old eunuch pinched the purse in his hand. It was hard and contained at least fifty taels of silver. He immediately put the money into his sleeve with a smile.

"It's easy to talk about."

Xiao Ruge walked in the corridor, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around her, feeling a sense of emotion.

It’s been a long time since I came back!

She thought the old eunuch would take her to the imperial study, but looking at the direction they were walking, she discovered that they were heading to the harem, which made a cold look flash in her eyes.

Could it be that this old eunuch wanted to murder him?

Thinking about all the concubines in the palace, the only ones who could have a grudge against me were the biological mothers of those princes.

Moreover, they were all grudges from the previous life. She had never met them in this life, so they shouldn't want to harm her now.

She turned her head and glanced at Bai Zhi beside her, reminding her to cheer up and wait until she followed the old eunuch through the Wuji Palace. Only then did she know where he was going to take her.

This is to take him to Qingquan Palace behind Wuji Palace, where Mu Bo's mother lives.

However, the Wuji Palace is a very interesting place. There lives a Taoist priest named Qingxu who is very good at fortune-telling.

In his previous life, this person had concluded that whoever ascended to the throne would definitely hold military power!

Everyone thought it was the fifth prince, but unfortunately, Lu Yu showed up halfway, and in the end he helped Lu Yu ascend the throne.

"Miss Xiao Er, we are here, please follow us."

The old eunuch's voice interrupted Xiao Ruge's memories. She looked up and found that they had indeed arrived at Qingquan Palace.

The fifth prince's mother, Concubine Rong, believed in Taoism just like the emperor, so she asked the emperor for Qingquan Palace, which was closest to Wuji Palace. When she had nothing to do, she would bring people to ask Taoist Qingxu for scriptures.

The emperor was very happy with the comparison, but he didn't know that the relationship between Taoist Qingxu and Concubine Rong was not that simple.

Xiao Ruge asked Bai Zhi to wait outside the door, and she followed the old eunuch into Qingquan Palace.

After entering the room, she found that not only Concubine Rong and the Fifth Prince were there, but also the Emperor. She immediately knelt down and saluted them.

"Your humble servant Xiao Ruge pays respect to His Majesty. Long live the emperor!"

"Greetings to Concubine Rong, may your majesty live a thousand years and live a long and happy life!"

"Hurry up, get up! What a good child! I feel so sad that he was bullied like this!"

A gentle voice sounded, it was Concubine Rong.

She was wearing a hibiscus-colored palace dress. The delicate embroidery on the dress made her look elegant and noble. Although she was over 30 years old, people would believe that she was Mu Bo's sister.

At this time, a palace maid came over to help Xiao Ruge up. The emperor looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Please take a seat."

Xiao Ruge bowed in thanks and half sat down on the embroidered stool brought by the palace maid.

"I think the eunuch who brought you here has already said this. I want to ask you if you have anything to add about the impeachment of Xiao Mingzhi for occupying the property of your general's mansion today?"

"General Xiao's family has done a favor for the Dalong Dynasty. If what Xiao Mingzhi did is true, I will not forgive him!"

The emperor's voice was majestic, but it revealed his gratitude to General Xiao everywhere.

This kind of gratitude can provide shelter for Xiao Ruge, but she cannot be used as a support.

"Don't be afraid, Ruge. If you have any grievances, just tell me. The emperor will definitely make the decision for you!"

At this time, Concubine Rong also spoke, and her words were full of concern for her.

Then she looked at Mu Bo who was standing beside her. He was looking at her with tenderness in his eyes. That look made Xiao Ruge feel a chill.

"Your Majesty, I am alone and helpless, fortunately my great-aunt is taking care of me, but the Xiao family is now so large that they have all kinds of ideas. They only think that I have a lot of money, but they don't know that as early as when we were at the border, most of the family property was dispersed by my grandfather, and now I only have a few shops that can't be sold."

Having said that, Xiao Ruge raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. At the same time, she secretly observed the emperor's expression while wiping her tears.

When the emperor heard that the general's family fortune was running out, a trace of regret flashed across his face, but he also looked relieved.

I guess the emperor has always been eyeing the property in her hands, right?

Imagine a rich and powerful person, who wouldn’t be afraid of him?

Even though she is now alone, the prestige that General Xiao has built in the army is not false.

"Why would General Xiao spend all his wealth at the border?"

Mu Bo interrupted and asked at this time, with anxiety in his eyes.

Xiao Ruge sighed, "The border has been in war for many years, and the people have been displaced. Many families have been broken up, leaving behind many orphans. Grandfather spent money to build orphanages in several towns to take in children under the age of twelve."

In addition to these, General Xiao also distributed porridge on the first and fifteenth day of every month and organized free medical consultations. He paid for all of this out of his own pocket and never asked the court for a penny.

She told the emperor everything her grandfather had done in recent years, and the emperor was quite touched.

"General Xiao is truly a righteous man! I am sorry for him, for letting his only granddaughter in this world suffer. Don't worry, I will make the Xiao family pay the price for bullying you!"

Seeing that the emperor wanted to punish the Xiao family, Xiao Ruge quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"My great-aunt treated me very well. I believe my second uncle would never do such a thing. It must be that the people under him took advantage of the power of the tiger and misunderstood the master's intentions. That's why he did such a mistake. Please forgive my second uncle and his family, Your Majesty!"

The Xiao family owes her more than just a little bit, and Xiao Ruge must get it back with interest, so the Xiao family cannot be ruined now.

And this matter was not a big deal. She could already guess that Old Lady Xiao would definitely sacrifice the car to save the driver and find someone to take the blame in the end.

By that time, it will not be a big deal for the Xiao family, so it is better to suppress the matter first and let the Xiao family pay the price slowly in the future.

After hearing this, Concubine Rong sighed, stepped forward with eyes full of heartache to help Xiao Ruge up, and said: "You are too kind-hearted, child. People have bullied you, but you still swallow your anger!"

"Your Majesty, you don't know that my grandfather once said that the reason why our lineage has few descendants is because we committed too many sins of killing. So when my grandfather was alive, he often did some good deeds to make up for it. Besides, the Xiao family and I are from the same lineage, and we share the same roots. Why are we so eager to fight each other?"
