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

Xiao Ruge sneered, "You are indeed a member of the royal family. With just a simple sentence like 'it was not intentional', you can completely clear a girl's innocence!"

"I can take responsibility!"

Knowing that Xiao Ruge was still angry, Mu Gu immediately expressed his opinion loudly after hearing her say that, which attracted the attention of the people around him.

After all, they were on the street at this time. Even though Xiao Ruge's carriage looked inconspicuous, there was Mu Gu following outside.

So many people on the street cast their eyes over here.

Xiao Ruge frowned, "Fifth Prince, this is on the street, please be careful with your words!"

Mu Gu sighed and whispered, "Then I'll come find you later."

After waiting for a while without seeing any reply from Xiao Ruge, Mu Gu assumed that she had agreed. He stopped and watched the carriage go away.

After returning to the Xiao Mansion, the two maids went to the yard to practice martial arts.

Since the last assassination attempt, Baizhi has practiced martial arts more diligently, and even Xiaoshuang volunteered to follow Baizhi.

Baizhi's martial arts skills are not that good. She is okay at protecting herself, but she is not good enough at teaching.

So Xiao Ruge waved her hand and asked Bai Song and Bai Yang to teach the two martial arts, so the two little girls have been very diligent recently.

Apart from serving Xiao Ruge, he spent the rest of his free time practicing martial arts.

At night, Xiao Ruge sat on the bed and read a storybook, fanning herself with the round fan in her hand.

There was a sudden noise in the house. She glanced at the back window and turned a page of the book.

"Miss Xiao Er is still awake so late, are you waiting for me to come over?"

Mu Gu, wearing a dark long gown embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns, came out from the foot of the bed with his hands behind his back, a flattering smile on his face, and sat down opposite Xiao Ruge with a smile.

Seeing a plate of peaches on the table, he took one without hesitation and asked with a smile: "How did Miss Xiao know that I like to eat peaches? She even prepared them in advance!"

Xiao Ruge didn't even look at him and still didn't speak.

Mu Gu couldn't help it and directly took the notebook in front of her, which made Xiao Ruge look up and glare at him.

"Miss Xiao Er, I apologize to you. I was wrong that day. Please don't be angry, okay?"

Mu Gu is handsome, with a pair of big peach blossom eyes, and when he acts innocent, he looks really pitiful.

But Xiao Ruge didn't buy his tricks. She reached out to grab back her notebook and snorted, "The Seventh Prince is powerful. I dare not accept your apology."

Mu Gu frowned and fell into deep thought as he looked at Xiao Ruge who had opened the storybook again.

The two of them just sat there, one reading a book and the other eating a peach, and the room fell into silence for a while.

When only the pit was left of the peach in his hand, Mu Gu would throw the pit away and take out a handkerchief to wipe his hands.

He stared at Xiao Ruge's eyelashes as black as crow feathers for a long time, and brought up a topic that Xiao Ruge was somewhat interested in.

"Don't you want Xiao Jinzhi to be transferred to southern Yunnan? I have already told the people below, and there should be news in a couple of days!"

Xiao Ruge raised her eyes to look at him, and saw that he looked like he was waiting for praise, so she threw out two words lightly.

"Thank you."

Mu Gu blinked and discussed the matter with Xiao Ruge.

"I have another piece of news. If I tell you this, can you forgive me for what I did that day?"

Xiao Ruge's eyes turned cold instantly, his dark pupils met those peach blossom eyes directly, and he pointed at the rear window.

"The window is over there, get out!"

Seeing that she was angry again, Mu Gu quickly gave in.

"I was wrong. I won't use this matter to negotiate with you. We can talk about forgiveness or not later. What I want to talk about is the old general's matter."

Xiao Ruge sat up straight, waiting for him to continue.

Mu Gu sighed in his heart, "I asked Duanmu Ling to check for me. Before and after General Xiao was killed, those who had friendship with the old general did not write to him."

In that case, those who are related to grandpa can be ruled out.

Since it wasn't my grandfather's friend or subordinate, who wrote the letter to him?

Seeing Xiao Ruge lost in thought, Mu Gu whispered, "I thought about it and felt that it might be done by one of the princes. After all, the old general commands a large number of troops, and there are many people who want to win over the old general."

At this point, he sighed regretfully, "If the old general hadn't left so quickly, I would have wanted to win him over too!"

This guess gave Xiao Ruge an idea.

She thought for a moment, looked at Mu Gu and asked, "If you want to win over my grandfather, what conditions would you offer to make him join you?"

Mu Gu smiled, "Of course I will grant you the title of Queen, and swear that if we have a child in the future, I will make him the Crown Prince!"

Xiao Ruge's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped something.

Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has never ceased. Even if a crown prince has been appointed, the ambitions of other princes cannot be stopped.

If one wants to have his own power, he must win over important officials in the court, especially generals who hold military power, who are the objects of competition among the princes.

In order to win the hearts of these ministers, the princes would promise them huge benefits, and some court officials would not be able to resist the temptation and would stand on their side early on.

For example, Ao Qing, the chief minister of the Dali Court and the father of the Third Prince's wife, had already made it clear to the world that he was the Third Prince's woman when he married his daughter to the Third Prince.

As for those who refuse to submit to him, he would either find an opportunity to get rid of them, or simply not touch them.

It seems that the letter grandpa received was most likely about this situation. The conditions proposed by that person failed to shake grandpa, so he decided to kill.

In addition, Mu Gu said before that he overheard that Mu Bo was related to Grandpa's death. Xiao Ruge had already guessed that the letter was probably written by the Fifth Prince to Grandpa!

It was obvious that Mu Gu had also thought of this, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

When he looked up, he saw Xiao Ruge with an ugly face and full of anger. He reached out and grabbed one end of the notebook and pulled it gently.

"Xiao Ruge, I will definitely help you get revenge, don't worry!"

Xiao Ruge turned her eyes and fixed her gaze on Mu Gu's face. She looked at him for a long while and asked a question.

"Mu Gu, as a prince, you should have no shortage of women around you. Why are you so close to me? Is it because I am the biggest factor that can help you ascend to the throne?"

Mu Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Maybe I wanted to use you at first, but not anymore. I really like you now. Can you give me a chance?"

The slender big hand covered the back of Xiao Ruge's hand, and the deep peach blossom eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache.

Xiao Ruge pulled back her hand and chuckled, "I still say the same thing, it's impossible for me to marry someone, I only want a son-in-law!"

Mu Gu sighed deeply after hearing this and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go back to the question just now, can you not be angry with me? I was really attracted to you that day, and I couldn't help but kiss you."
