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

Chapter 1153

So as not to make her anxious.

"Have all the people who attended the funeral returned?"

Granny Chen shook her head. "No. Prince Qin returned first, escorting a group of Xiao family women. The other princes and members of the royal family haven't arrived yet; I heard they're all trapped in the mountains because many roads have been inexplicably blocked."

This is an attempt to trap them and prevent anyone from rescuing Murong Yu.

Yun Xiyue felt even more worried after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor and the Divine Physician have already gone to Wangfeng Mountain."

"We've already met up with the Emperor." It was a member of the Dragon Shadow Guard.

Fearing she would worry, Murong Yu had people come back to report the news constantly.

Upon hearing this news, Yun Xiyue was no longer so worried and sat down to eat half a bowl of bird's nest porridge.

And so we waited for a whole day and night.

Yunxi Yue fell into a deep sleep for a while, and when she woke up, the rain had stopped and the sky had cleared the next day.

"Someone is coming."

"Your Majesty." Caiwei immediately entered.

"Is there any news from the Emperor?"

Caiwei said, "Yes, they have it. They're already on their way back... but we don't know what the outcome will be."

The roads were now open, and the officials and their families who had attended the funeral gradually returned to the capital.

Everyone looked disheveled and covered in mud.

Feeling bad about it, the Xiao family brought gifts to visit them.

No one dared to say much, after all, it was bad luck with the weather and the fact that they had encountered assassins on purpose, otherwise they wouldn't have been trapped in the mountains.

"Your Majesty, have you returned?"

"Not yet, but I heard that the assassin who tried to kill the Emperor was the Grand Preceptor of Dongling Kingdom. That's incredibly audacious! I think we're going to have another war..."

General Xiao has just passed away and we have to fight another war.

The common people were terrified when they heard about it.

There has been war for the past few years.

Although the imperial court has researched seeds and enabled the people to harvest a great deal from farming, and the court is not short of food now, it is still afraid of war!

If there's a war, the men in the family must go to the battlefield.

......

"Why!"

Cui Yan appeared out of nowhere, dressed in a black robe. Suddenly, he drew a long sword and pierced Cui Yonghe's chest before she could react.

Kneeling in the mud, Cui Yonghe glared at his unfilial son, never expecting that the one who had ambushed him was his own son.

"There's nothing I can do; my father is too cold and heartless."

"You only care about yourself and don't care about my life or death and Qing'er's life at all. I can only save myself."

Cui Yan, expressionless, stood behind him and suddenly drew his sword, hot blood staining his face.

He felt nothing at all.

"Father, rest assured, only you will die in the Cui family."

"I will stay in Great Xia forever. From now on, no one in the Cui family will touch Xuanmen Fengshui again."

Historically, only the head of the Cui family and the future head of the family have been skilled in Xuanmen Feng Shui.

Cui Yonghe is dead.

Only Cui Yan is left, and he will destroy his own martial arts skills.

I will no longer engage with metaphysical feng shui.

He only asked that Murong Yu spare Cui Yuqing, as well as his mother and daughter. His condition was that Murong Yu kill Cui Yonghe before he could return to Dongling Kingdom.

From now on, only her daughter will inherit the Cui family business.

This was an agreement between Cui Yan and Murong Yu.

“You…you unfilial son…” Cui Yonghe was so angry that he wanted to kill him, but his body was already unable to move.
