Xiao Ruge, is he really such a person?
Mu Gu recalled the scene of the beautiful figure giving him medicine that night, and finally confirmed that Xiao Mingyue was talking nonsense.
Xiao Mingyue complained a few words, and seeing that Lu Yu did not respond, she changed the subject and mentioned the open and secret struggles between the third prince and the fifth prince.
"The two princes are only trying to show off their power in secret. If my second sister chooses one of them, the balance will definitely be broken."
Xiao Mingyue didn't say the rest, but she believed that Lu Yu was so smart that he would definitely guess what she wanted to express.
Looking up, Lu Yu was indeed lost in thought.
Now that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are competing against each other and maintaining a delicate balance, it is the best time for others to develop their power secretly.
Lu Yu knew his identity, and of course he had ambitions to take the throne.
So after thinking about it, Lu Yu seemed to have made up his mind and said to Xiao Mingyue: "Don't worry, I won't let this happen."
Although she didn't know what Lu Yu was going to do, Xiao Mingyue felt relieved when she heard him say that.
As long as she doesn't let Xiao Ruge climb up the social ladder, she will definitely be able to keep Xiao Ruge under her feet in this life!
Next, Xiao Mingyue was extremely gentle to Lu Yu, and Lu Yu enjoyed it with peace of mind. The two of them would occasionally have some physical contact.
The meal took almost two hours. When Xiao Mingyue came out of the private room, her cheeks were still slightly flushed.
The two of them left separately, with a quarter of an hour in between. After they walked out of the private room, Mu Gu also came out of the room where he had been peeping.
"Master, the kitchen has developed a new dish today. Would you like to try it?"
The shopkeeper saw him come out and came forward to ask with a smile.
Mu Gu shook his head, "I have something to do today, let's do it another day!"
It turns out that Huiweilou is actually Mu Gu's property.
……
Xiao Mingyue returned to the Xiao family when it was getting dark. When passing by the garden, she happened to meet Xiao Ruge and Bai Zhi taking a walk to digest their food.
Seeing her in a hurry, Xiao Ruge smiled playfully.
"Fourth sister, did you just come back from outside?"
Xiao Mingyue smiled wryly, "Yes, I wanted to eat the roast duck at Tianxianglou, so I went to try it."
"I remember that my great-aunt seemed to like the roast duck from Tianxianglou very much. Fourth sister, you have always been very filial. I believe you have already bought some for my great-aunt, right?"
Xiao Ruge looked at Xiao Mingyue with crooked eyes. From the unnatural expression on her face, it could be seen that she was definitely not just going there to eat roast duck.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Mingyue's face, and she coughed lightly, "I, I didn't bring enough money this time, so I ate it myself. Next time, I will definitely buy some to honor my grandmother!"
"Oh, so that's it!"
It was as if Xiao Ruge's eyes saw through Xiao Mingyue, which made Xiao Mingyue even more panicked. She made up an excuse and fled.
After everyone left, Bai Zhi whispered to Xiao Ruge, "Is the Fourth Miss doing something bad? Why is she so flustered?"
Xiao Ruge laughed immediately, and the two of them walked around again before returning to Ruyi Garden.
At night, when it was late and quiet, Xiao Ruge, wearing a nightgown and a black scarf, flew out of the Xiao Mansion.
She rushed all the way to Changwei Escort Agency, and just when she was about to reach the place, a man suddenly flew out from the alley nearby.
She was not paying attention for a moment and only heard a muffled groan, and the two of them suddenly bumped into each other.
He was a tall man. When he felt that he had bumped into someone, he subconsciously hugged Xiao Ruge into his arms and protected her with his body. The two rolled on the ground for several times before they stopped.
After stopping, Xiao Ruge immediately broke free from the man's arms, turned over and made a defensive move.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Mu Gu dressed in black.
She was suddenly speechless.
Why do I always run into this guy?
Mu Gu coughed twice, spat out a mouthful of black blood, slowly sat up, and leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.
A pair of dim eyes looked at Xiao Ruge and whispered, "Someone is chasing me. Go quickly. If possible, please help me deliver this letter to Xiao Ruge's home in the Xiao Mansion."
Mu Gu took out a letter from his arms. While he was talking, black blood kept flowing out of his mouth, which made Xiao Ruge frown.
"You are poisoned."
It seemed like he was surprised that the person in front of him was actually a woman. A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Gu's eyes, but then he regained his composure.
"Yes, please leave quickly. The people who want to kill me will catch up with us soon."
Xiao Ruge had already heard footsteps. She thought for a moment, took the letter, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Mu Gu's eyes, which had originally had some spirit, became even more desolate after seeing this. He supported himself against the wall and barely stood up. He walked forward slowly, and a bitter smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
He originally wanted to send a letter to Xiao Ruge tonight to remind her to be careful of Lu Yu and Xiao Mingyue, but he saw Mu Bo's men sneaking into a house on the way.
Driven by curiosity, he went to take a look, but he accidentally got caught.
Feeling something running wild inside his body, Mu Gu sighed.
It seems that I won’t be as lucky as last time.
Soon, the footsteps became clearer and clearer. Just when Mu Gu felt that he was doomed, he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground behind him.
When he looked back, he saw a petite figure standing on the street, and the person who had just chased him was lying on the ground.
The man turned around and met Mu Gu's eyes. It was Xiao Ruge who had just left.
Originally, Xiao Ruge was not going to care about Mu Gu. Since they were all going to die, it didn't make any difference whether they died early or late.
Although he might still be useful later, Xiao Ruge really didn't want to get into trouble.
But when she read the letter to herself, she suddenly hesitated.
She didn't know that Mu Gu was at the critical moment of life and death, so why was he still thinking about sending her a letter?
Xiao Ruge couldn't just let it go when she thought that this person might have been killed while delivering a letter to her.
So she came back.
Mu Gu looked at the beautiful figure in front of him, slowly smiled, and then fell to the ground exhausted.
Xiao Ruge sighed, thought to himself that it was troublesome, ran over, carried the person on his back, turned around and quickly disappeared at the street corner.
Not long after the two of them left, another group of people chased after them.
When he saw his companion lying on the ground, his expression immediately became serious.
"They all died of poisoning."
One of them examined his dead companion and came to a conclusion.
The other person had a gloomy expression on his face and whispered, "Clean up here and let's go back!"
The group of people quickly took away the bodies of their companions, cleaned up the few bloodstains on the ground, and then disappeared into the night.
Xiao Ruge knocked on the door of Changwei Escort Agency breathlessly, and only breathed a sigh of relief after putting Mu Gu down.
But she was so tired. Who would have thought that Mu Gu, who looked thin, was actually so heavy!
