Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1136

Murong Ling stopped in his tracks, gestured for the palace maids to help the person back, and then he left.

"Your Majesty!"

No matter how much Cui Yuqing shouted, Murong Ling did not turn around.

"Quickly, go and invite Her Majesty the Empress over..."

Cui Yuqing's wound tore open, and she fainted from the pain.

Yunxiyue rested in the main hall.

"Ah Yue, you can't meet strangers anymore." Murong Yu was still shaken. What if she caught some disease? He immediately ordered people to keep a close watch on Jiaofang Palace and to send Princess Ling out of the palace.

“I have spoken with Princess Ling, and she said she would cooperate with us to persuade Cui Yan.”

Yun Xiyue had her own reasons for keeping Cui Yuqing with her. "I think this matter is still related to Cui Yan. Pei Fang couldn't get the sachet, could she? And there's no concrete evidence that she had contact with Cui Yan."

"We've caught a spy, a Dongling agent. She also planted this sachet on Cui Yan's orders."

Murong Yu's expression softened slightly. "Then let's wait until she recovers from her injuries before discussing it further."

Executing Cui Yan rashly now would cause a lot of trouble.

"Let's wait a couple of minutes!"

Just then, a young palace maid serving in the side hall rushed in, "It's terrible! Your Highness, Princess Ling has fallen off the bed and her wound has reopened."

"What happened?" Yun Xiyue quickly got up and rushed over to see.

"This servant doesn't know either. I only heard that Prince Ling and Princess had a big fight. The prince ran away, and the princess fell off the bed, crying and screaming. The prince didn't come back."

The palace maid followed her to the side hall as she spoke.

Murong Yu also planned to come along, but it wasn't convenient for him to come in.

They waited outside, then said, "Summon Prince Ling to the palace."

"Your Majesty, Prince Ling has been taken to prison."

Murong Yu had a bad feeling and told him to keep an eye on things.

Inside, Yunxi Yue saw letters scattered all over the ground. After picking them up and reading them, she realized what had happened.

"Your Highness is aware of this?"

Cui Yuqing hurriedly grabbed her sleeve, "Your Highness, please help me! The Prince wants to kill my brother."

"His Majesty has already sent people to keep an eye on things. He won't let him do that," Yun Xiyue said.

His identity is special; if he dies in Daxia, Dongling Kingdom will definitely go to war with them.

Yun Xiyue didn't want Murong Yu to go to war anymore.

These years have been filled with constant wars.

The people haven't had a chance to recover and rebuild their lives yet.

It is not advisable to wage war.

"But he will definitely torment his brother."

Yun Xiyue wasn't worried about this. "He treated you like that before, what's a little suffering? Don't be soft-hearted. My master is right, feeling sorry for a man will bring you bad luck for the rest of your life."

"They both hurt you, and you can't forget those hurts just because they were kind to you for a while!"

This is called forgetting the pain once the wound has healed.

Cui Yuqing was completely stunned, never expecting her to utter such a statement. "Your Majesty..."

"Alright, you're not going to die anyway. You should take care of yourself and the baby first!"

Yun Xiyue examined her wound and found that it had just burst open and needed to be treated again.

Once it was ready, the palace maid came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to the study. He has ordered someone to bring Prince Ling from the prison to the Imperial Study."

Yun Xiyue said, "Did you hear that?"

Cui Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.

In reality, however, Murong Ling had already subjected Cui Yan to torture.

When the imperial physician arrived at the prison, Cui Yan was covered in bruises from being beaten.

He was saved only after taking the medication.

Murong Yu ordered his men to keep a close watch on the area and forbid anyone from approaching.

......

Pei Fang felt a sense of pleasure upon hearing the news.

"He got off easy by not dying."

Gong Dian came in from outside. "What did you say?"
