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

Chapter 220

"Who did Ghost Hand go to see?" Murong Yu asked coldly, clutching the embroidered shoe.

"A mysterious person, presumably someone who wants Ghost Hand to save someone."

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "At the Shen family's residence?"

"The Third Prince of the Southern Qiang Kingdom has not made any move at the imperial palace, so it is unlikely that he has taken Miss Yun hostage."

Murong Yu tucked his shoes into his sleeve. "The Divine Doctor and Ghost Hands don't seem like people who would compromise easily. The Shen family doesn't have the guts to take hostages in the capital."

"Keep looking."

"Your Majesty, there appear to be marks on this cliff where ropes were used to tighten.

Is someone at the bottom of a cliff?

"Go down and look for it."

Yunxi Yue woke up in a cave entrance on the edge of a cliff, a cave entrance that could only accommodate one person.

She didn't even dare to move, because if she did, she would most likely fall in, as if she were stuffed into a water tank that was just the right size.

"Help me..."

His hands and feet were bound, he hadn't had a drop of water, and his lips were cracked.

At that moment, someone fell from above.

Yun Xiyue was startled.

"Miss!"

"Your Majesty, we've found the young lady!" the man in black shouted.

Then another rope fell down, and Murong Yu climbed down. He saw a person stuffed in a crevice between rocks, and his eyes were filled with a dark and gloomy look. "A-Yue, don't be afraid."

"emperor......"

Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was going to die here.

After being rescued, his body was ice cold.

"Your Majesty, please escort me back to the Yun residence."

Murong Yu carried her to the carriage and said, "The Yun residence is not safe. Unless Ghost Hand leaves the capital, you cannot go back."

"What do you mean? Is my kidnapping related to Master?" Yun Xiyue asked in surprise. She thought it was Zhuang Shi or Lin Bao'er who did it.

"They all need Ghost Hand's help and are in Kyoto, so they won't do this kind of thing easily. The question is, who is Ghost Hand, and who is the person causing trouble for him behind the scenes?"

“Before he settles his scores, you should come back to the palace with me. I will send someone to inform your parents.”

The man held the plaster, grabbed her wrist with one hand and applied it to her wrist. His face was expressionless, and he spoke in a tone that was merely informing her.

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "I want to go home. My master and parents must be very worried about me."

"And I can't enter the palace..."

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and although he was smiling, he exuded a chilling aura.

"Why can't you enter the palace? How long do you plan to keep this a secret?"

Yun Xiyue was stunned. "Your Majesty, I have been kidnapped. My parents must want to see me safe and sound. If I enter the palace, it will only cause you trouble."

"Hmph, so you're saying you're thinking of me?" He sneered.

Yun Xiyue lowered her eyes, unsure of what to do.

She was very grateful that the man had risked his life to save her.

We should repay his kindness.

"I have no way to repay Your Majesty's kindness. If Your Majesty wishes me to enter the palace, then please issue an edict to come and fetch me openly and legitimately."

Murong Yu glanced down and saw the woman's slightly red eyes, and felt a pang of pity.

The carriage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After applying the medicine to her, Murong Yu neither closed his eyes to rest nor said another word.

Yun Xiyue was filled with anxiety, her mind still preoccupied with the events surrounding her kidnapping. She was exhausted and wanted to sleep, but couldn't find the peace to fall asleep.

At this moment, the man took off his cloak and wrapped it around her. "We're still a bit far from the capital. Take a nap."

"Your Majesty," Yun Xiyue looked up at the man, not understanding why he had done all this, "Why did you come to save me?"

"You still owe me ten million taels of silver, are you trying to renege on your debt?"

Yun Xiyue suddenly understood. So that's how it is. If it were her, she wouldn't have let the person who owed her so much money die so easily.

Ten million taels is no small sum.

"Go to sleep!"

Yun Xiyue was so tired that she fell asleep on his shoulder.

They didn't return to the capital until the morning of the second day.

The shadows around Murong Yu dispersed. He couldn't personally escort her back to the Yun residence, so he got off the carriage when it arrived at the gate of the capital.

"Young Master Yu".

"how?"
