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

Chapter 368

"Moon, how is Mother?" Xiao Ling'er hesitated anxiously at the door, not daring to see her mother-in-law.

"not so good!"

Yun Xiyue looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, you should go back first! Mother has already gone to sleep."

"Moon, I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this... I thought Mother and Father already knew about you and the Emperor."

"I didn't mean to..."

Xiao Ling'er felt very annoyed. She didn't want things to be this way, but she couldn't help but feel jealous of Yun Xiyue.

Yun Xiyue seemed to have nothing more to say to her; things had come to this.

"I'm sorry if my affairs have affected the Xiao family."

Xiao Ling'er looked somewhat embarrassed, "Yue'er..."

Yun Xiyue didn't say anything more to her and turned to leave.

......

"Strange? Why hasn't Yun Xiyue been poisoned yet!"

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Murong Chen and Shen Yue waited together.

Both of them had been waiting for this opportunity to arrive. They were just waiting for Yun's parents to arrive in the capital and for Yun Xiyue's poison to take effect, so that they could make the next arrangements.

But after waiting for a few days, all they heard was that Madam Yun had fallen ill from anger over the rumors.

"Could it be that they brought back the miracle doctor's antidote and have already cured her of the poison?" Shen Yue said.

Murong Chen shook his head, "That's unlikely. The Ghost Hand hasn't appeared at all; it's like it vanished into thin air."

"Not a trace."

"That's strange. Has Your Highness consulted the imperial physician?"

Murong Chen said, "I've asked, and there's no antidote. Unless my brother has given an order not to tell the truth."

"We need to find a chance to show her."

After leaving the palace, Yunxi Yue did not meet with Murong Yu.

There was no reason for the court to continue dwelling on their affairs.

"We can't let this continue. We need to find a way to press our advantage and strike while the iron is hot."

Getting close to Yun Xiyue is not easy now. The Yun family refuses to receive guests, let alone find someone to take her pulse.

"I think she's wary of us now, so we should hold back for now. The prince hasn't married yet, so we might as well take this opportunity to find someone who can get close to her."

One of these people is Wan Jiaojiao, and the other is Zhang Chuhuan, the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

Yun Xiyue doesn't have many friends, only these two are close to her, and there's also the Princess of Qin. Only Zhang Chuhuan is suitable to be her princess.

Murong Chen smiled and said, "Brother Shen, that's a good idea."

"I will go to the palace now to ask for a marriage decree."

Murong Yu said, "Why would you want to marry a daughter of the Zhang family?"

"When I asked you before, you said you weren't in a hurry."

Murong Chen said, "Now I think Miss Zhang is quite good, and I hope my brother will grant my request."

Murong Yu did not immediately issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, but said he would ask Lord Zhang for advice.

The news quickly reached Zhang Chuhuan's ears.

She rushed to find Yun Xiyue in a panic.

"Sister Xiyue, Prince Rui has suddenly asked me to marry him, what should I do?"

Yun Xiyue asked, "Why did he suddenly propose to you? Have you two met?"

"No! Even if I've seen him, it was just a fleeting glance at a banquet, and we've never spoken. Sister Xiyue, the Emperor has contacted my father. If Prince Rui wants to marry me, even if the Emperor doesn't agree, the Empress Dowager will definitely agree."

"Can you help me think of a solution? I don't want to marry Prince Rui."

That man, Murong Chen.

Yunxi Yue had met him, and he was indeed not a good match.

"He must have some ulterior motive for wanting to marry you."

Zhang Chuhuan nodded quickly, "Mhm."
