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

Emperor Qinglong asked this question word by word carefully, and he became more certain in his heart that Lu Yu was his child. After all, he was old, and just because of this, Emperor Qinglong's eyes were filled with tears.

"Child, come forward and let me take a good look."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu paused, but still stepped forward and stood three feet away from Emperor Qinglong, while Emperor Qinglong looked at Lu Yu with tears in his eyes.

"Child, I am your father. After so many years, I finally get to see you."

Lu Yu frowned slightly and spoke in a strange tone.

"Your Majesty is from Kyoto, but I am from the Northern Territory. When my mother passed away, she also told me that my father died in an accident when I was born..."

Emperor Qinglong was startled when he heard this. Did he hurt the Northern Territory woman so deeply? When he was young, his heart was always hard. He was just a little reluctant when he left. But after returning to Kyoto, he forgot everything he should have forgotten.

When people reach this point, they can't help but start to feel regret and guilt for what they did when they were young.

Just now Lu Yu said that the woman from the Northern Territory had passed away long ago, and all his guilt came to Lu Yu.

"Do you have a jade pendant with dragon pattern?"

Lu Yu pretended to be shocked and took out the jade pendant from his own bag.

"How did His Majesty know?"

"This is the token I gave to your mother. I will give it to you when you grow up, and then come to Kyoto to find me."

"only……"

There was still disbelief in Lu Yu's eyes, and then he shook his head.

"No... Your Majesty, I don't have a father... I..."

Lu Yu stepped back in disbelief, which made Emperor Qinglong even more distressed. He couldn't imagine how the lonely mother and son could survive in a place like the Northern Territory.

Emperor Qinglong sighed.

"I know you can't convince yourself to forgive me or accept me right now, but I have to compensate you, and you must accept it, Eunuch Cao."

"Set up a residence for General Lu Yu in Kyoto."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao immediately nodded his head and agreed, then went to do the work immediately.

Soon the news that Lu Yu was the illegitimate son of Emperor Qinglong spread throughout Kyoto, which caught Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge off guard. They had clearly received news that Lu Yu had been killed by Mu Bo in the Northern Territory, so why did he suddenly come back to life and his identity was confirmed?

This is not a good thing for Mu Gu.

Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge were also present at Emperor Qinglong's birthday banquet that day and witnessed the entire process of the recognition process. It was obvious that Emperor Qinglong was filled with guilt towards this son who had appeared out of nowhere. It was obvious that Lu Yu would be the next prince favored by Emperor Qinglong.

Lu Yu was good at controlling people's hearts. He was sure that Emperor Qinglong felt guilty about him, so he promoted him and summoned him. Lu Yu also did this step by step, making the emperor think that Lu Yu was slowly accepting him.

Emperor Qinglong was very proud of such a child who had made great military achievements and had made great contributions in guarding the frontier. After allowing Lu Yu to return to his ancestral home, he also gave the vacant position of the imperial guards general in the palace to Lu Yu.

Up to this point, everything went according to Lu Yu's idea and he consolidated his position in the court step by step. So he took the opportunity to bring up Xiao Mingyue who was still in prison.

When Emperor Qinglong learned that Lu Yu came to Kyoto for Xiao Mingyue, who was imprisoned due to some misunderstandings and was pregnant, he immediately released Xiao Mingyue without saying a word.

At this time, the baby in Xiao Mingyue's belly was more than eight months old.

Qinglong was also very happy. In another month, he would be able to see his grandson in his lifetime. What a happy thing.

Because Lu Yu and Xiao Mingyue became popular in front of Emperor Qinglong, the Xiao family also began to prosper.

However, Xiao Ruge and Mu Gu did not choose to speak up at this time, as that would only be regarded as jealousy.

The two of them, on the contrary, were in harmony and did their own jobs honestly. Fortunately, so far, most of the opinions in the court were still on Mu Gu's side. After all, Lu Yu could not win the hearts of the people overnight. What's more, there were still many stubborn old ministers in the court who believed that Lu Yu's origins were unknown and his purpose was still unclear.

The power struggle in the Qinglong court came to the surface because of an incident that alarmed the entire capital.

Crown Prince Mu Bo, who was confined to the Eastern Palace, died.

The rumor from the palace was that Mu Bo died of depression because he had lost all power and support in the court.

Anyone who knows some inside information or the elders in the court knows that this is definitely not as simple as it seems. How could a conceited and self-righteous person like Mu Bai choose to commit suicide just because he was confined to the East Palace? Although Mu Bai was confined, he still held the position of crown prince. The statement that he committed suicide is obviously unreasonable.

Then the only possible cause of Mu Bo's death was that he was murdered by someone. As for who murdered Mu Bo, that was unknown.

Others may not know, but Xiao Ruge must know.

Lu Yu was a vengeful person. Since Mu Bo did not kill him completely at that time, he would definitely take revenge on him, either by killing him or making his life worse than death.

Obviously, the current situation is that letting him die will best achieve what he wants.

With the death of Crown Prince Mu Bai, the position of heir to the throne of Qinglong became vacant, and the situation in the court became clear.

The people most likely to become the crown prince are Lu Yu and Mu Gu.

But it is obvious that the situation in the court is extremely unfavorable for Lu Yu. Mu Gu's own dissidents had been almost eliminated by Mu Gu before Lu Yu entered the palace. There is only one person Lu Yu can use, and that is Emperor Qinglong. However, the guilt will gradually diminish as Emperor Qinglong continues to sacrifice for him.

Lu Yu wanted to openly confront Mu Gu. Not to mention whether he could snatch something from Mu Gu, he might not survive until the spring.

In terms of acting cautiously, Lu Yu did a pretty good job. Since he couldn't do anything in the court, he started from the people, using the mouths of the people of Kyoto and public opinion to make Mu Gu unable to explain himself.

Besides, he did have some things in his hands, and Lu Yu was still very confident that he could use public opinion to bring Mu Gu to ruin.

But when Lu Yu was planning to spread Mu Gu's secrets in Kyoto and even in several other cities in Qinglong, he was unaware that Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge had already been prepared.

As for the Xiao family, they were still immersed in their own glory and superiority. They were extremely disdainful of Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge. They used to hide in the corner and dared not confront others head-on, but now they are extremely arrogant.

But they didn't know that everything Lu Yu did, even what he wanted to do, was under the sight of Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge.

It can be said that Lu Yu and Xiao Mingyue have no chance of winning.
