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

Upon hearing this, Mu Gu nodded slowly, as if he agreed with Xiao Ruge's statement, but he could not hide the worry in his eyes.

"Xiao Yu'er, with me here, you don't have to do things you don't like."

Hearing this, Xiao Ruge slowly raised her eyes and looked at Mu Gu in front of her, thinking to herself that she was already very happy to hear Mu Gu say this. Since she had already promised Mu Gu to help him take this city, she must not hold him back. Even though she was really reluctant to go to the palace, she should still overcome it.

"Mu Gu, you don't have to compromise for me. We agreed before that I would help you. Don't make me feel worthless."

Mu Gu's mind suddenly flashed with the way Xiao Ruge had talked to him in the past. In fact, it had just happened not long ago.

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge with approval, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He took Xiao Ruge's hand and placed it in his palm, patting it gently.

"Okay, I promise you, Xiao Yu'er... Then no matter what difficulties or obstacles we encounter, we will handle them together!"

They are determined to win this city and the position of a thousand households.

But in fact, now that things have come to this, winning or losing is no longer important. Mu Gu has such a wife, and even if things don't go well, he can always resolve them with Xiao Ruge by his side.

……

This was a very humane decision made by Emperor Dalong at the beginning of Dalong. All ministers did not need to attend court every day. Originally, they only needed to attend court once every three days, and they took turns. This not only saved the ministers from having to get up early every morning, but also allowed Emperor Dalong to handle affairs in an orderly manner. This was also one of the very correct decisions made by Emperor Dalong when he was young.

And yesterday, the imperial edict for court attendance was passed to every minister, so today's Kyoto was very lively. More than 50 carriages of court ministers appeared on the streets of Kyoto at dawn and drove to the palace together.

"This is really a rare event. If I remember correctly, the last time we attended court together was at the beginning of Dalong."

The person who spoke was Ding Wenxun, the Chief Guest of the Ministry of Rites, also a very authoritative minister of Dalong. He was quite surprised to see carriages arriving at the palace gate one after another. Whenever he saw an acquaintance, he would greet him and pull him over to have a chat.

And Yang Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue was also his friend for many years. Coincidentally, he was one of the people who arrived at the palace gate early, so he was stopped by Ding Wenxun, who insisted on chatting with him.

As Minister Yang was an insider of the cause of the matter, he naturally did not find it strange. Mu Gu had already sent someone to deliver a letter. Most likely, Emperor Dalong saw that Mu Gu had done a good job, so he felt from the bottom of his heart that he should be rewarded and should be commended in front of all the ministers.

The most important point is to pay attention to Mu Bo's movements. Mu Gu guessed that an important purpose of Emperor Dalong doing this was to regain his face as the Emperor of Dalong. He wanted to tell Mu Bo that even without him, Mu Bo, Dalong would still have endless talents, and he, the Emperor Dalong's son, was not the only one who could be the crown prince.

In fact, even if Mu Gu hadn't come to tell him, Minister Yang had guessed most of what had happened after he saw the grand scene at the Dali Temple when he accompanied his wife to buy groceries yesterday and received the imperial edict.

Ding Wenxun was a little surprised to see Minister Yang with a nonchalant expression. He thought about it for half a night but still couldn't figure out what Emperor Dalong was up to.

"Old Yang? Don't you find it strange?"

In fact, it is normal for Ding Wenxun to not understand the situation. Ding Wenxun was originally a military officer and had spent most of his life marching and fighting. His military talent is impeccable. In most of his life, he has fought dozens of battles, big and small, without losing a single one.

It was for this reason that Emperor Dalong later arranged Ding Wenxun to work in the Ministry of Rites on the pretext of Ding Wenxun's injury. However, it was Emperor Dalong who specifically entrusted Minister Yang to teach Ding Wenxun to handle government affairs.

Minister Yang smiled and waved his hand.

"Old Ding, you're still not mature enough..."

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and turned to walk towards the palace gate.

When Ding Wenxun first entered the Ministry of Rites, he was actually not convinced that Emperor Dalong sent such a weak scholar to teach him. But later on, he was gradually impressed by Minister Yang's wisdom and cleverness. Ding Wenxun was a straightforward person, so since the other person was worthy of learning, he would learn from him without any hesitation.

This custom remains until now.

"Hey! Lao Yang, did you guess it?"

Seeing this, Ding Wenxun hurriedly followed Minister Yang and walked over, asking questions as he walked.

"Can you please tell me clearly what is going on?"

Ding Wenxun was an impatient person. If he didn't know what was going on this time, he would probably be troubled for a while. But Minister Yang just smiled. Ding Wenxun stopped and said something lightly only when he was really anxious.

"Old Ding, we will be at His Majesty's feet soon, and you will know then, right? Let's not talk about it for now, hurry up and go to the palace. If you are late, His Majesty will blame you!"

After saying this, Minister Yang raised his feet and walked forward quickly, not caring how Ding Wenxun was calling out from behind.

……

When Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge walked into the hall, many ministers had already arrived. As soon as they reached their seats, they saw Mu Li looking at them with stars in his eyes.

"Third brother, I've heard about your story. You guys are so amazing!"

Children's emotions and words are always so direct and passionate, and they express their admiration for Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge without any concealment.

In fact, if he had not thought of this before, Mu Li probably would not have dared to talk to Mu Gu, but the last time when he was in a very embarrassing situation, it was Mu Gu who comforted him.

Although Mu Gu is only in his teens, because of his experiences over the years and having been born in this palace, his mind is much more mature than his peers. He knows who is good and who is bad, and he also knows that he should repay those who have helped him.

Mu Gu had never expected that Mu Li, who looked so reserved on weekdays, would actually take the initiative to talk to him one day. In fact, Mu Gu had never felt the love of brotherhood. Before Mu Li, or before meeting Mu Li this time, he and his two so-called brothers were like enemies on the battlefield, and there was no family affection at all.

But Mu Li is different. This child must have been very well protected by his mother. His previous reserve was only because it was his first time facing such an occasion.

Mu Li's mother's decision to threaten Mu Li with death that day to force him to leave was the right one. Mu Li really should not have been involved in this matter.

Mu Gu and Mu Bo are evenly matched in Kyoto, so Mu Bo naturally doesn't dare to touch him.

But Mu Li is still young, and Mingzhu has no one to rely on. If she gets involved in this matter and is considered a threat by Mu Bo, she will probably be eaten alive.
