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

Just as Zhu Chengxi thought, it was impossible for Xiao Ruge to come to him to form an alliance without any preparation, so he had already found out everything that the Duan family had been facing during this period.

What the Zhu family lacks most now is the lack of credibility in the court, so they are suppressed and bullied everywhere. The reason for finding these people is very simple, which is to build momentum for Zhu Chengxi.

This was not a difficult task for Xiao Ruge, as she had someone around her who could do this, so she relied on Mu Gu's momentum to do this.

Everything is ready, and the next step is to wait for those who are interested to take the bait.

Now with Xiao Ruge's full support and the backing of several prestigious ministers in the court, Mu Gu's status in the court became more and more important day by day. In just a few short days, Mu Gu's power was already able to compete with Mu Bo. However, Emperor Qinglong did not show any dissatisfaction, but acquiesced in Mu Gu's continuous expansion of his wings.

But it was precisely this situation that gradually caused many dissatisfied people to become restless. Most of these people followed Mu Bo's lead. Seeing that Mu Gu was so successful but Mu Bo did nothing or fought back, they were naturally impatient. Therefore, these ministers in the court discussed and went to the East Palace after the court session to ask to see Mu Bo.

But of course they couldn't send such a large group of people to look for Mu Bai. That would be too conspicuous and would make people think too much. If this happened to be discovered by Emperor Qinglong, it would be very difficult to handle the matter.

After a discussion, they asked the Minister of Personnel Liu Meng to represent everyone and go to the Eastern Palace.

Since Mu Bai lost to Mu Gu in the court last time and lost face, Mu Bai stayed in the East Palace to have fun all day as usual. It was already noon, and Mu Bai still kept the door of the East Palace closed. The whole palace was silent.

The guards were standing guard at the palace gate as diligently as usual, and when they saw a group of people coming, they immediately perked up.

"Who is coming?"

The person who headed this group of officials was the Minister of Personnel Liu Meng. Originally, the appointment and transfer of officials should have been in his hands, but now Emperor Qinglong actually handed it over to Mu Gu directly. Putting aside other things for now, if outsiders knew about this, they would think that Emperor Qinglong thought he was incompetent and could not handle this matter well.

If there is anyone who is most dissatisfied with Mu Gu now, besides Mu Bai, it is Shangshu Liu.

Seeing this, Liu Meng hurried forward and bowed.

"Please inform His Royal Highness that Liu Meng wants to see you. He has something important to discuss with His Royal Highness!"

"Master Liu, please wait at the door."

After the guard finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the East Palace. When he came out, he told Liu Meng that Mu Bai was already waiting for him in the hall, so he didn't delay any longer and walked in immediately.

Before Liu Meng came in, Mu Bai was indeed still asleep in bed. After all, he had been enjoying the singing and dancing for almost the entire night before. He had just fallen asleep when he heard the guards knocking on the door. Although the sound was not loud, it was very annoying. Mu Bai originally wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, but the sound that came one after another, each one more urgent than the last, was unbearable for him. He just sat up and was about to pick up something at hand and throw it over when he heard the guards at the door speak.

"Your Highness, Liu Meng requests an audience."

The hand that had been raising something immediately stopped. Liu Meng had been following him ever since he became the crown prince. He was a trustworthy man with ideas and talents, but he usually didn't come to the East Palace to find him.

The fact that Liu Meng came to see him meant that there must be something very important, and it was most likely related to Mu Gu.

Thinking of this, Mu Bo suddenly sat up from the messy mattress. Looking at the messy objects on the floor, his head began to swell, so he shouted outside the house.

"Let Minister Liu come in and wait for me in the main hall."

"Yes."

Mu Bo suddenly remembered that there was a person like Liu Meng among his followers. Although his intelligence and considerations might not be as good as Qingxu's, he could definitely help him.

So Mu Bo immediately woke up, tidied himself casually and went to the main hall to meet Liu Meng.

Liu Meng was waiting anxiously in the main hall. He originally thought that according to the prince's temperament, he would have to wait here for a long time. Unexpectedly, in just an incense stick of time, the person appeared in front of him, so he immediately stepped forward and saluted Mu Bai.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

Mu Bo didn't have time to worry about all the etiquette now. He quickly asked the person to stand up, then pulled him to sit aside and asked.

"Minister Liu, why are you so anxious?"

When Liu Meng heard this, he realized that Mu Bo was probably powerless to deal with Mu Gu, which was why he came up to him and spoke to him calmly after being woken up.

However, as long as their Crown Prince is willing to deal with Mu Gu, it will be easy for him to deal with him.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has not attended court in the past few days. You may not know that Mu Gu is really too much!"

Mu Bo's heart skipped a beat. In his opinion, making him lose face in the court that day was already too much. He didn't expect that there would be something even more excessive.

"Minister Liu, please tell me now."

"A few days ago, Mu Gu led the people from the Dali Temple to arrest so many people. Now there are many vacancies in the court. Originally, the appointment and replacement of officials should be handed over to our Ministry of Personnel."

"But for some reason, His Majesty directly bypassed the Ministry of Personnel and handed the matter over to Mu Gu. This is very disadvantageous to both me and Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

"If this matter is handed over to Mu Gu, then so many important positions in the court will probably be replaced by Mu Gu with his own wings. By then, once Mu Gu's wings are fully formed, it will pose an endless threat to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Meng did not exaggerate the matter, but as he said, Mu Gu's power in the court was increasing day by day, while the people he, Mu Bo, could use were becoming increasingly scarce.

If this continues, even if Emperor Qinglong has not yet decided to abolish his position as crown prince, the final result will definitely be achieved because of public opinion.

They have fallen into a passive situation. If they want to change this situation, or even get rid of the trouble forever, what they need to do now is to strike first.

"Please give us some pointers, Minister Liu. What should we do next?"

Liu Meng stroked his beard, lowered his head and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, I have a plan that can drag Mu Gu into this trouble and consolidate your position, achieving the best of both worlds."

When Liu Meng opened his mouth, Mu Bo thought that he was right, so his face became excited.

"Minister Liu, please tell me what's going on."
