"Instead of doing this, I might as well wait until I get promoted to a higher rank. Then I'll have the face to propose marriage!"

Xiao Mingyue also knew that what he said made sense. She could tell that her father looked down on Lu Yu because of the way he got furious with her when he came home after finding out about the two of them being together.

It’s so hateful that these idiots not only don’t think about it themselves, but also block my chance to fly to the top of the mountain and become a phoenix!

In order to maintain her gentle and harmless image, no matter how unwilling Xiao Mingyue was, she had to agree softly.

In the evening, Xiao Ruge was listening to Bai Yang's report. After hearing that Lu Yu had no hope of promotion and all the money was wasted, she couldn't help laughing.

At this time in his previous life, Lu Yu was doing very well. He made friends with a group of like-minded people and met a boss who was willing to promote young people.

It’s just a pity that this life has been ruined by her.

"The person who replaced Lu Yu is Chen Xi."

Bai Yang said the most crucial piece of news, which made Xiao Ruge raise an eyebrow.

It looks like Uncle Sun's plan has already begun.

"What has Feng Ziqing been doing recently?"

When Bai Yang heard Xiao Ruge mention the constable, he smiled.

"Everything is normal for him. He goes to the Dali Temple on time every day to work. There is nothing unusual."

Having said that, Xiao Ruge still had people keep a close eye on Feng Ziqing, especially to report immediately if they found him having contact with Lu Yu.

Bai Yang agreed, and when he saw that Xiao Ruge had no other instructions, he bowed and left.

Speaking of Feng Ziqing, Xiao Ruge recalled the scene when she saw him beside the emperor in her previous life. At that time, he should have been a eunuch.

But how could he, a good constable, become a eunuch?

When Xiao Ruge was puzzled by this, a figure pushed the door and walked in. When she looked up, it was Mu Gu.

Xiao Ruge's face immediately turned cold. She didn't say anything and just looked at him coldly.

Mu Gu smiled bitterly, walked slowly to sit opposite Xiao Ruge, and said softly: "Don't look at me like that, I know you don't want to see me, but I came here tonight to ask for something."

Although the two of them had the intention of breaking up, after all, no one said it out loud, so they still maintained a delicate cooperative relationship.

After hearing what Mu Gu said, Xiao Ruge snorted and asked, "What's the matter?"

"You should know that my fourth brother is in poor health, right?"

After saying this, Mu Gu went to see Xiao Ruge. Seeing her nod, he continued, "He's been sick again recently, and even the imperial physician can't help him. I wonder if you can help him?"

Xiao Ruge wanted to laugh when she thought about how Lu Yu almost died at the hands of this "frail and sickly" Fourth Prince in her previous life.

And she did laugh, and Mu Gu didn't ask her why she laughed, he just looked at her.

"Can't you?"

Xiao Ruge smiled and waved her hands, "It's not impossible, but are you sure that your fourth brother is really sick?"

Mu Gu's eyes narrowed when he heard this.

It feels ridiculous that someone suddenly tells you that something you were sure of is not true.

He thought silently about the appearance of the Fourth Prince Mu Di since he was a child. It seemed that he had always been sickly.

His condition would get worse from time to time, but he always managed to get through it safely, and that's how he survived until now.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his fourth brother, who seemed harmless on the surface, might not be simple.

Seeing him lost in thought, Xiao Ruge thought for a moment and then gave a reminder, "Some people may seem weak and harmless, but they are actually poisonous snakes, waiting for you to reveal your flaws and then bite you to death!"

Mu Gu was shocked. He didn't doubt Xiao Ruge's words at all.

It seems that I have to remind my third brother to be careful of my fourth brother.

Seeing that everything was said and Mu Gu was still not leaving, Xiao Ruge glanced at him impatiently.

"Still not leaving?"

Mu Huan really didn't want to leave. He wanted to stay with Xiao Ruge for a while longer, even though this person hated him and wanted him to die.

So he lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then told the emperor that the Rongdi people might invade the border.

After hearing this, Xiao Ruge fell silent.

Since the death of my grandfather, father and brother, the northern border has been taken over by General Yao Yongkun.

This man was a loyal royalist and was also known for his stubborn temper. It was precisely because he wholeheartedly supported the emperor that he was given an important position and was sent to the northern border to lead an army of 300,000 to resist the Rongdi.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Rongdi will probably attack the city in the fall. My third brother and I suggest that we ask our father to choose one of us to go to the northern border to supervise the battle. What do you think?"

After listening to this, Xiao Ruge thought about it seriously and asked Mu Gu another question first.

"Do you want yourself to sit on the throne, or the third prince to sit on the throne?"

Mu Gu was stunned by her question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"If you want to be the emperor yourself, then go ahead. Although the Rongdi are fierce, General Yao is no pushover. This time the Rongdi will not gain any benefit from their invasion. As long as you are careful, there should be no danger."

After listening to this, Mu Gu nodded to indicate that he understood, and was then ordered to leave by Xiao Ruge.

"It's getting late. I need to rest."

Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge deeply, stood up dejectedly and walked out. When he reached the door, Xiao Ruge called him and threw something to him.

He raised his hand to take it, and when he opened his palm, he saw that it was the warm jade he had given her before, with a peony flower carved on it, looking elegant and luxurious.

"You'd better take this thing back. It's not appropriate for me to keep it."

After saying that, Xiao Ruge stopped looking at him.

Mu Gu gave a bitter smile and left holding the jade pendant.

When she was sleeping in the middle of the night, Xiao Ruge always felt that there was someone beside her, but she was like being possessed by a ghost and couldn't even open her eyes.

A dark shadow saw that Xiao Ruge was about to wake up, so he reached out and stroked her nape, causing Xiao Ruge to fall into a deep sleep. He then sighed softly, slowly climbed onto the bed, and lay on his side beside Xiao Ruge.

The person who came was Mu Gu. He placed the peony jade pendant next to Xiao Ruge's pillow and silently looked at the sleeping woman.

In the end, he couldn't help but peck her lightly on the lips, then he held her in his arms, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Ruge felt that she was extremely tired after this sleep. She always felt like something was grabbing her and preventing her from moving.

When she opened her eyes tiredly the next day, she felt dizzy.

"Miss, why do you look so bad?"

Bai Zhi came to help her get up. When she saw Xiao Ruge's pale face, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"I didn't sleep well last night."

Xiao Ruge rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Originally, I wanted to go to the farm to find Uncle Sun today and ask him to place more people in the army.

It would be best to follow the prince who is supervising the war to the northern border in autumn, so that you can achieve success as quickly as possible.
