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

Chapter 221

The man turned around.

Seeing that he was all alone, Yun Xiyue felt worried. "He brought two guards and has already arrived in the capital. Someone will come to pick me up."

"Are you worried that I might be assassinated or injured?"

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."

"Don't worry, young lady, the master is being protected in secret, nothing will happen again." A guard came over and led the carriage into the city.

Murong Yu has already left.

A token was left inside the carriage.

With this token, she could enter the palace at any time.

Yun Xiyue quickly hid the token.

"Yue'er!"

"mother."

Madam Yun ran out and hugged her, "You scared me to death! Who saved you?"

They were escorted to the Yun residence, but the guards had vanished without a trace.

He was a Dragon Shadow Guard serving the Emperor.

If it weren't for Murong Yu, the Yun family would never have been able to find him.

The Dragon Shadow Guards are spread throughout the capital and are able to quickly obtain information.

“It is the Emperor,” Yun Xiyue said in a low voice.

Madam Yun and Yunnan Sheng were surprised.

emperor?

Yun Xiyue didn't dare tell them that Murong Yu had come to rescue her personally, as it would cause too much speculation.

But the truth can't be hidden forever. He intends to bring her into the palace, and she can't keep refusing, or she'll anger him.

"Where's the master?"

Mentioning Ghost Hand, Yunnan Sheng sighed, "He's gone. This time, it was because of the enemies he made that you couldn't be caught."

"They felt that staying in the capital would bring us danger."

"He hasn't come back all these years because he's afraid those people will hurt you."

Yun Xiyue had never known the reasons behind her master's actions, but now that she thought about it, she understood. "Enemies? Who are they? Who did Master offend?"

“I don’t know. When I rescued him, he was covered in blood. He didn’t like to talk and didn’t want to talk about himself. He didn’t even want to see anyone. He only wanted you by his side.”

At that time, Yunxi Yue was still young, innocent, and carefree.

Ghost Hand really enjoyed being with her.

Perhaps it's because the child showed no aggression or harmfulness.

“Ghost Hand isn’t in the capital, so those people will leave. He left you a book.”

These are all prescriptions for alchemy that I have studied throughout my life.

There is another letter.

After reading it, Yun Xiyue cried for a long time.

......

"That woman isn't dead?"

Who saved her?

Lin Bao'er was furious. She had originally planned to send someone to kidnap Yun Xiyue and then threaten the divine doctor Ghost Hand to help her detoxify, but someone beat her to it.

They then sent people to follow them.

After those people left, the guards, following her orders, knocked Yun Xiyue unconscious and stuffed her into a crevice in the rocks at the bottom of the cliff, so that no one could find her and she would starve to death.

"It's the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Lin Bao'er's expression changed slightly. Wasn't that the person protecting the Emperor of Great Xia?

Why would the emperor's men go to rescue Yun Xiyue?

Shouldn't they stay near the imperial city to protect Murong Yu's safety?

"His Majesty personally went down the cliff last night to rescue her."

What the guard said next shocked her even more.

Lin Bao'er couldn't understand, "Why would the Emperor do this? Could it be that even the Emperor wants Yun Xiyue? Impossible..."

impossible!

Yun Xiyue was just a merchant's daughter.

She was still the woman Shen Yue didn't want.

How could an emperor possibly take a woman that his subjects didn't want?
