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

Chapter 178

After the court session, Eunuch Fu came to the Yun family to read out the imperial edict.

"Pray for blessings at Baohua Temple? For Lin Bao'er?" Yun Xiyue immediately objected, as they had agreed last night to stay home.

Why was it changed again?

Seeing her displeasure, Eunuch Fu stepped forward and whispered, "Miss, you will only be safe if you enter the palace. The envoys from Nanqiang will arrive tomorrow, and they probably already know about the poisoning of the Nanqiang princess. The third prince of Nanqiang is even more ruthless than the Nanqiang princess. His Majesty changed his mind because he was worried about your safety."

"We didn't ask you to pray for blessings. Just go to Baohua Temple to find some peace and quiet."

Yun Xiyue's expression softened. "This subject accepts the decree."

"Father, Mother, elder brother, you don't need to worry about me."

Yunnan Sheng coughed several times in anger, "Eunuch Fu... what exactly does the Emperor mean? It was clearly the Shen family who wanted to kill my daughter, and my daughter was just fighting back. Doesn't the Emperor understand that?"

Such a simple truth, yet others knowingly turn a blind eye because the Shen family wields great power and dare not offend them.

But Murong Yu was the emperor, and he knew what he was doing.

The Yun family was promoted by the Emperor, and now they only have the Emperor to rely on in the capital. If he really intended to support the Yun family, he shouldn't treat her daughter like this.

Yunnan Sheng's face turned ashen, and he wished he could rush into the palace immediately, grab Murong Yu by the collar, and demand an explanation. "If His Majesty is blind, then I, Yunnan Sheng, will not be a royal merchant. I will take my daughter and leave the capital."

Eunuch Fu advised him not to get agitated, "Master Yun, please don't get agitated and ruin your health. The Emperor is only considering the bigger picture."

"If you really want to save the young lady, you should find the divine physician and expose the true face of the Southern Qiang princess. Then the emperor will have a reason to punish her. Right now, she has the Southern Qiang envoy backing her up."

For the sake of peace between the two countries, the Southern Qiang princess should not be harmed for the time being.

Yun Xiaohan said, "Father, the Emperor is already protecting Yue'er by doing this."

If it were any other emperor, he would probably have executed Yun Xiyue to appease the anger of the Southern Qiang envoy.

"It's good that Yue'er is going to the palace. Baohua Temple is a royal temple, so it's safe inside the palace."

"We'll try to find a miracle doctor to come to the capital."

Once the divine physician arrives and proves that the poison originated from the Southern Qiang princess herself, the problem can be easily solved.

Yunxiyue followed Eunuch Fu into the palace and moved into Baohua Temple.

They encountered Grand Tutor Zhou and Shen Yue when they entered the palace.

"Greetings, Grand Tutor Zhou." He bowed to him and left, without even glancing at Shen Yue.

Grand Tutor Zhou looked at her with a sense of strangeness. She had gone through so much with Zhou family's daughter, and it could be said that their grudges ran deep.

He had heard her name many times, but this was the first time they had met in person.

I didn't expect her to be so calm and composed.

"Her composure is so calm, could there be some hidden reason?" Old Master Zhou immediately asked Shen Yue.

Shen Yue concealed the truth, saying, "Grand Tutor, don't be fooled by her appearance. This woman is extremely cunning. She deliberately bowed to you and remained so calm; it was intentional."

"The goal is to throw us into disarray."

Grand Tutor Zhou stroked his beard and looked at his grandson, "Yan'er, what do you think?"

Zhou Yan said, "She is indeed very clever, not as innocent and harmless as she seems. It's best to be careful. If the Yun family brings in a renowned doctor this time, then Zhilan's face will be completely saved."

Grand Tutor Zhou nodded. The Zhou family's purpose was to invite the renowned physician to the capital.

Hou House.

"My lord, has the Emperor merely placed Yun Xiyue under house arrest?"

Shen Yue said, "Yes, that's the only way for now."

"But if she does that, she'll talk nonsense at the banquet. I don't think the Emperor intends to punish her!"

They wanted to use her to deal with her brother, the emperor.

The purpose of the Southern Qiang envoy's visit was to support her, give her a boost, and dampen the arrogance of the Great Xia.

“If she reveals what happened at the Marquis’s mansion, it will definitely be detrimental to Mother. After all, it was Mother who sent people to arrest her first. If they really confront each other and the truth comes out, everyone will only blame our Marquis’s mansion.”

"Both old women were taken away by the Dali Temple."

Lin Bao'er leaned against the man's chest, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. "I'm thinking, why don't we find someone to make her behave?"

“If I have any dirt on her, she won’t dare to tell the truth.”

Shen Yue said, "What method can we use? She's currently at Baohua Temple, where she's being watched over."
