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

Chapter 352

"Yue'er!" Yun Xiaohan had been worried for several days, and only when he saw her return did his heart finally settle down.

"How is it? Has the poison been neutralized?"

Yun Xiyue felt fine and didn't want to tell her older brother, fearing it would worry him, so she explained.

"That's good!"

Behind him, Xiao Ling'er said, "Your older brother has been worried sick these past few days. He hasn't slept for days and nights. We've tried to persuade him to rest, but he won't listen."

"Now that Yue'er is back, you must help me give him a good scolding."

Yun Xiyue said, "Brother, why don't you listen to your sister-in-law's advice? Go back and rest quickly. I'm fine now. There are imperial physicians in the palace, so I won't get sick again."

Yun Xiaohan can go back to sleep now, but he is still preoccupied.

The court is now strongly opposed to Yun Xiyue entering the palace.

"Moon, have you explained things clearly to the Emperor?"

Now that she's left the palace, she should cut off all contact with him.

Yun Xiyue recalled the question Murong Yu had asked her when she left the palace.

"She just got back, let her rest first," Xiao Ling'er said when she saw that she didn't want to talk about it.

Yun Xiaohan paused for a moment and then stopped asking.

After the two left, Yun Xiyue sat at her desk and read the books left behind by her master.

You need to find out what kind of poison you've been poisoned with before you can get rid of it.

"Her poison has been neutralized?"

Shen Yue said, "If she has left the palace, it means she has been cured of the poison; otherwise, the Emperor would not have allowed her to leave the palace."

"So that means she really is Ghost Hand's disciple and can cure the Soul-Stealing Powder poison. But to say she's completely cured, I don't think she's really cured," Murong Chen said with a smile.

Shen Yue frowned. "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Of course, I had a backup plan. I had someone administer two kinds of poison to her. Once she is cured of the Soul-Stealing Poison, the other poison will surely penetrate deep into her heart and lungs, making it difficult to cure. It might even be incurable."

Shen Yue's expression changed slightly. "Your Highness, didn't you promise not to kill her?"

"Don't worry! I'm doing this to help you. This poison didn't come from Ghost Hand. I'm doing this to lure him out, so if he can't get rid of it..."

"Then you'll be the one to step in. Didn't you want to remarry her? If she wants to live, she'll have to marry you," Murong Chen said with a smile.

Shen Yue felt a sense of anticipation.

Murong Chen glanced at him and laughed, "I also want to see what kind of expression my brother will have then. Will he go crazy for a woman and abandon the country?"

He laughed heartily as he spoke, his eyes filled with excitement.

"What poison did His Highness give her? Is there any antidote?"

Murong Chen smiled and said, "Let's keep this a secret for now. There has to be a surprise, right?"

Shen Yue's eyes darkened slightly, realizing that he didn't intend to cure Yun Xiyue's poison, but instead wanted her to marry him, and then use Yue'er's life to control him.

He knew what Prince Rui was thinking, but he couldn't bring himself to confront him directly.

"I will do my duty for Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, be merciful and do not harm Yue'er."

Seeing him kneeling at his feet, Murong Chen asked curiously, "She betrayed you, why do you still cherish this woman so much?"

"I have met Yun Xiyue. She is sharp-tongued, cunning, and opportunistic. Apart from her decent looks, I do not consider her a virtuous wife and loving mother!"

"Besides, you've lost everything, become penniless, disgraced, and your family is broken up—all because of her. General Shen, you wouldn't really have fallen in love with such an ex-wife, would you?"

That's even more inappropriate.

Shen Yue is ruthless and cold-blooded at heart.

So many people who loved him died in front of him, yet he was never saddened.

Qinghe died along with her unborn child...

The deaths of his two children drove Lin Bao'er to her death at the ends of the earth.

It's all because of Yun Xiyue!

These two women are the ones who love him the most.

Shen Yue sneered, "Your Highness doesn't understand. Qinghe only latched onto me to get the position of the Marquis's wife and wealth. Lin Bao'er wanted to use me to obtain military intelligence. Both of these women are willing to turn around and betray me to have affairs with other men for their own benefit."
