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

Chapter 1152

"You deserve to die!"

Cui Yonghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He kicked Zeng Xiao in the chest, and Zeng Xiao flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the mud and splashing water.

When it's time to deliver the fatal blow.

Seeing this, Xiao Dingquan brandished his long sword and charged towards Cui Yonghe with unstoppable momentum, blocking his path.

His swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound, attempting to tear a gash in Cui Yonghe's body.

However, Cui Yonghe was like an unshakeable mountain. Faced with Xiao Dingquan's attack, he simply raised his arm and easily blocked Xiao Dingquan's fierce sword move with his elbow.

Xiao Dingquan's arm went numb from the shock, and blood spurted from the gap between his thumb and forefinger, but the blood was instantly washed away by the rain.

Seizing the opportunity, the opponent suddenly threw a punch, which landed squarely on Xiao Dingquan's abdomen.

Xiao Dingquan felt as if his internal organs had shifted, and the excruciating pain made his vision go black. He collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Taking advantage of Cui Yonghe's attack on Xiao Dingquan, Leng Yan quietly approached from the side, his dagger flashing coldly as he thrust it straight at Cui Yonghe's side waist.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, just as Leng Yan's dagger was about to pierce him, he suddenly turned around and unleashed a whip kick as fast as lightning.

Leng Yan couldn't dodge in time and was kicked hard in the shoulder, sending him flying several meters away. He rolled around in the mud several times before coming to a stop.

He struggled to get up, but found a piercing pain in his shoulder, and his arm hung limply at his side, dislocated.

The three men were knocked down one after another and lay in the mud and water, with rainwater constantly pouring into their mouths and noses.

Their clothes were tattered, their bodies covered in wounds, and blood mixed with rainwater, forming dark red streams on the ground.

Choi Young-ha, however, remained standing calmly in place. Although his black robe was soaked by the rain, it was not stained with a single speck of dirt, as if the fierce battle just now was merely an easy game for him.

He stared coldly at the three people on the ground, his eyes filled with disdain and arrogance. "Those who block my way shall die!"

"Murong Yu, you'd better release my son, or don't blame this national advisor for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he charged toward Murong Yu with lightning speed.

"Your Majesty!" Leng Yan and the others were extremely anxious.

Bai Daozi and the Ghost Hand Doctor have not arrived yet.

Choi Young-ha seemed to be surrounded by dark power, and the wind made his black robe flutter loudly.

As he approached Murong Yu, he suddenly threw a punch.

Murong Yu remained calm and showed no sign of panic.

He slightly turned his body, and with a seemingly casual slip of his foot, he skillfully avoided the direct attack.

At the same time, his right hand swiftly reached out and precisely grabbed Cui Yonghe's wrist. Cui Yonghe felt as if his wrist was tightly locked by an iron clamp, and a powerful force came through, instantly freezing his arm, making it impossible to move it even an inch.

Seeing this, he snorted coldly, and with his other hand, he curled his fingers into a claw, and with a sharp whistling sound, grabbed straight for Murong Yu's throat.

......

As the rain outside intensified, the daytime felt like night.

Yun Xiyue's heart clenched. She was with several children in the Jiaofang Palace, which was guarded by the Imperial Guards. Murong Yu had not taken all the guards with him.

Most of the people were left to protect the palace.

In addition, Qin Mo was sent back to lead the army to protect the palace inside and out.

"Your Highness, it's getting chilly. Please don't stand by the window, or you'll catch a chill." Granny Chen brought a cloak and draped it over her shoulders.

Yun Xiyue said, "The children are asleep."

"They played for a while and then fell asleep. It's noon now, the weather is cool, and it's quiet, so everyone falls asleep."

"Your Majesty, please eat something! You haven't eaten since this morning."

"How can this work?"

Yunxi Yue couldn't eat, and Murong Yu hadn't returned to Jiaofang Palace for several days.

Today is General Xiao's funeral.

They all knew that Cui Yonghe would definitely make a move, because this was his only chance.

"How is the Empress Dowager doing?"

Granny Chen said, "The Empress Dowager should not know about the Emperor's assassination attempt."

News has just arrived that the Emperor has been assassinated.

Yun Xiyue did not let anyone inform the Empress Dowager.
