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

Chapter 1140

"What did you say!" Canxue was immediately agitated, unable to accept that all of this was actually orchestrated by them.

You tricked her so badly!

"I'm going to kill you..."

Canxue's eyes widened instantly, as if they were about to burst out of their sockets, burning with raging anger.

Her cheeks flushed red with anger, and the veins on her neck bulged like small, green snakes poised to pounce.

"Kill you......"

She screamed, her voice sharp and shrill, echoing in the empty space, filled with anger.

Upon learning that it was all a setup and that she had been so badly deceived, she felt her world collapse instantly, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano, surging forth uncontrollably.

"I'm going to kill you..." He kept gritting his teeth as he squeezed out those words.

Despite the pain of the chains digging into his flesh, his hands and feet were bound by heavy iron chains, and he struggled frantically.

Her body writhed desperately, like a trapped wild beast struggling against its fate. The chains rattled with her movements, each impact carrying with them her anger and resentment.

She pulled hard on the chains with both hands, the veins on the back of her hands bulging, her nails turning white from the force, as if she wanted to tear the chains that bound her apart.

Her feet were kicking and thrashing, kicking up dust, as if she wanted to break free of her restraints and tear the person who had deceived her to pieces.

"It's your own stupidity. When you failed to assassinate Murong Yu, didn't they tell you the truth? But you were lucky you didn't believe them. You clearly had several chances to save yourself."

Cui Yan looked at her with cold eyes, as if she were a dead object.

"Back then, you volunteered to come and die in order to steal Murong Yu's affections. After you were captured, Sikong Xuanche took a liking to you because of your beauty. Later, he found out that you liked Murong Yu, so he deceived you."

"And if you weren't so vain and didn't want to be empress, how could you have fallen for it? In the end, all the suffering you've endured is your own fault. You say you like Murong Yu, but you betrayed him because of a promise made by Sikong Xuanche. That's not what liking someone means."

"True love never changes, it won't be affected by anything or anyone, even if you know it's impossible to be together and there's no future, you'll still go for it without hesitation."

"Just like Qing'er..."

Cui Yan looked at Can Xue indifferently, showing no emotion at her pain, and simply told her about his relationship with Cui Yuqing.

After she finished speaking, Canxue was stunned.

"I don't believe it. How can people fall in love if there's no ulterior motive?"

"Isn't Murong Yu after Yun Xiyue's beauty and the wealth of the Yun family?"

Cui Yan laughed and said, "Yes, everyone has their own agenda. You're saying you're after Murong Yu's position as empress, and you're not wrong, are you?"

Canxue's face was grim.

"You men also have ulterior motives, so why do you say my feelings aren't genuine!"

Cui Yan leaned against the wall, his body covered in bruises from being whipped by Prince Ling. He had no choice but to go to Dongtang, and his prison clothes were stained with blood.

"Say what you will, someone who can't be woken up. Everyone will give up on you."

Canxue didn't understand, but she didn't until she heard that the envoy from Dongling Kingdom had arrived.

She then understood why Cui Yan was so confident: because he wasn't the one who was abandoned.

She was abandoned by Murong Yu, and completely abandoned by her master and senior brother.

Canxue burst into tears, realizing it was too late and no one would come to save her.

She disappointed both her master and her senior brother.

Cui Yan was led out of the prison cell by the guards.

He was given hot water to wash up, the imperial physician was given medicine, and he was given a new brocade robe, though his hands and feet were still chained.

It's a rather unique chain.

"This is a time bomb invented by the miracle doctor. It's inside this iron lock. If anyone opens the lock or tries to cut it with a knife, it will explode."

After explaining, I demonstrated it to him.

There was a bang.

The scarecrow was blown to bits.

If he gets bombed, he'll either die or be maimed.
