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

The next voice heard was that of Emperor Qinglong.

"I really need to think carefully about how to deal with you traitors."

Under the oppression of the Dali Temple, Liu Meng raised his head with great effort, and saw Emperor Qinglong walking towards him briskly, with Mu Gu's wife, Xiao Ruge, beside him.

"Your Majesty! This is unfair!"

Xiao Ruge glanced at Liu Meng, who was still struggling to death, and snorted with a light laugh.

"Minister Liu, the emperor has the face to not even tell you what crime you committed, and you're crying foul? You're really too guilty."

Liu Meng was speechless for a moment, and the several people who were captured didn't know how to respond.

Liu Meng, who was in a panic, immediately looked up and shouted at Emperor Qinglong.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! This person is a witch! Your Majesty, please don't be bewitched by her!"

Emperor Qinglong indeed glanced at the man on the ground with contempt, as if he didn't want to hear what this man had to say, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Drag them away and execute them all."

Seeing this, Liu Meng knew that there was probably no room for redemption, so he suddenly stopped struggling and asked the military officer from the Dali Temple who was holding him down to let go, saying that he would submit to the law. Just as Emperor Qinglong was signaling the officer from the Dali Temple to let go, Liu Meng's eyes suddenly darkened, he snatched the knife from the person next to him, and stabbed towards Emperor Qinglong.

Xiao Ruge was startled and reacted faster than she could think. She quickly pushed Emperor Qinglong away from behind her. However, as she was stepping back, Liu Meng's knife cut her arm and blood splattered all over her.

Just when Liu Meng had just put away his knife, he was stabbed to death by others. For a moment, blood flowed down the steps at the entrance of the hall.

Liu Meng fell heavily to the ground under the chaos of swords, his eyes wide open.

Emperor Qinglong was also frightened by this sudden scene. When Xiao Ruge pushed him aside, he fell to the ground and did not react for a while. It was not until he saw Jia Jingtian quickly step forward to bandage Xiao Ruge's wound that he stood up with the help of Eunuch Cao, but he still looked frightened.

"Take these people away, and tomorrow they will be beheaded in public for the crime of assassinating the national army!"

"Yes!"

For a moment, wailing sounds were heard from the entrance of the palace, and then the sounds became farther and farther away until they disappeared into the bedroom.

After Jia Jingtian bandaged Xiao Ruge's wound, he had to leave. Although the bleeding had stopped, Xiao Ruge's face was still pale. Upon seeing this, Emperor Qinglong quickly asked Eunuch Cao to summon the imperial physician, and then he helped Xiao Ruge into the hall and asked her to sit down.

Xiao Ruge frowned tightly. Although the pain was not yet clear, she could still feel the temperature in her body slowly dissipating. But she also knew that she must not fall down now. In a trance, she tried hard to stay conscious and heard Emperor Qinglong speak.

"You saved my life, do you want any reward?"

Xiao Ruge was about to say that she didn't need any gold, silver or jewelry, and didn't need any reward, but suddenly she thought of her parents, so she forced herself to stand up and kneel before Emperor Qinglong despite the discomfort.

"Your Majesty, Ruge does have an unfulfilled regret."

"Just tell me."

"Ruge hopes His Majesty can clear my father's name!"

Emperor Qinglong was stunned.

"your dad?"

Xiao Ruge nodded.

"My father was General Dingbei, Xiao Wangfei, who was sent by the emperor to guard the border. He was loyal to the emperor from beginning to end. He never had any thoughts of rebellion or treason. He was framed by a traitor."

Emperor Qinglong naturally remembered this incident that alarmed the entire Qinglong clan, but at that time he had handed the matter over to the Minister of War to decide, and he did not intervene too much. After so many years, he did not expect that things would take a turn for the better.

Looking at Xiao Ruge's serious and persevering expression, Emperor Qinglong thought for a while and agreed. It would be bad to disappoint the person who saved his life. If there was really an injustice, it would be a good deed for him to find out the truth.

Soon, news of the Minister of Revenue Liu Meng's intention to assassinate Emperor Qinglong spread out of the palace, and those who assisted him were detained in the Dali Temple awaiting their fate.

Mu Gu was also summoned into the palace shortly afterwards.

However, without Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu saying much, Emperor Qinglong already had an idea of ​​who the mastermind was in this incident.

Emperor Qinglong also ordered people to check the bowl of medicine Liu Meng brought, and found that it contained a deadly poison. Then, a subordinate who had been keeping an eye on the Eastern Palace told him that the medicine was taken from the Eastern Palace and given to Liu Meng.

But this son wants to kill his father, and the elder brother wants to frame his younger brother. These are scandals in the royal family no matter how you look at it. Even if everyone knows it, even if Emperor Qinglong knows it, he will never make this matter public.

However, Emperor Qinglong had completely given up on whether he could continue to support Mu Bai. The son whom he had doted on since childhood actually wanted to kill him for the throne. How could Emperor Qinglong not be angry? But in the end, Emperor Qinglong did not say anything, and subconsciously did not care about Mu Bai.

He only ordered Mu Bo to be confined to the Eastern Palace for half a year and his salary was reduced by half.

Mu Bo of the Eastern Palace naturally heard about everything that had happened in the past two days. He was initially complacent, but later he heard that Liu Meng was hacked to death and all his wings were beheaded in public. He felt that he had no one to use in this deep palace, and he was immediately filled with panic, fearing that Emperor Qinglong would find out about him, or the source of the medicine, and behead him regardless of the father-son relationship.

Therefore, I was worried for the past few days until I received the imperial decree of house arrest. After that, I was completely silent and lost all hope.

Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu, as the great contributors to this incident, soon became widely known and enjoyed great fame for a while.

Emperor Qinglong also began to intend to replace the crown prince.

The matter of hosting Emperor Qinglong's birthday banquet three days later naturally fell on Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge, and became a test for Mu Gu from Emperor Qinglong.

The two of them worked together very well and were very thoughtful, so Emperor Qinglong's birthday banquet was held as scheduled.

Because it was Emperor Qinglong's 60th birthday, the whole country was celebrating, and the whole capital became bustling for a while. Now Mu Bai was confined to the East Palace, Mu Xu was exiled to the border, and Mu Li was still young.

The only prince who attended the birthday banquet was Mu Gu. In the eyes of ministers across the country, this was undoubtedly a signal that after Qinglong, there would be only one person who could take on the role of emperor, and that was Mu Gu.

These ministers were all experienced men. After seeing the situation clearly, they all spoke well of Yu Mu Gu in front of Emperor Qinglong. Emperor Qinglong was very happy to see this and chatted happily with many of his ministers.

In addition to the ministers in the court, those who came to attend the birthday banquet were also bigwigs from all walks of life, including some people from the underworld.

When the time came, they would come forward one by one with the things they had prepared, toast and say some festive words.
