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

Chapter 428

"Your Majesty, an urgent report has arrived from the border!"

"The armies of the Northern Palace Kingdom and the Southern Qiang Kingdom are gathered at the border, probably intending to attack our country. The Eastern Lin Kingdom is also making moves."

General Chu presented a secret report.

Eunuch Fu quickly took it and handed it to Murong Yu.

Murong Yu opened the memorial and glanced at it. "The King of Qin has already arrived at the border. General Chu, you should organize the troops tomorrow and set off for the border immediately."

"Your Majesty, I believe the best course of action now is for the Emperor to personally lead the expedition." Shen Yue clasped his hands and knelt down.

Murong Yu glanced at him indifferently, "I will personally lead the expedition; you will go first."

Shen Yue wanted to say something, but was stopped by General Chu, who said, "Your subject obeys the decree!"

"General Shen, you shouldn't act impulsively."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "General Chu, I'm only thinking about the bigger picture."

"His Majesty will consider the bigger picture. He has already foreseen a war, so he arranged for Prince Qin and General Zeng to go to the border early on. We will go to provide support later. His Majesty can wait until after the wedding to go."

"The emperor's personal command of the expedition is no small matter. His Majesty has no heir yet, so the Empress must enter the palace as soon as possible." General Chu felt that the Emperor's arrangement was swift and decisive.

It's only now that we realize that the Emperor making the right choice was to marry the daughter of the Yun family.

War is imminent, and war requires provisions.

Without the support of the Yun family, even the Emperor's personal campaign would not have much chance of success.

"If General Shen is truly considering the bigger picture, he shouldn't be trying to stop the Emperor and Empress from getting married for his own selfish reasons."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "General Chu, rest assured, Yun Xiyue and I have already divorced. As my ex-wife, I sincerely wish her happiness."

General Chu nodded. "It's good that you can figure it out."

"Go back and prepare; we'll leave tomorrow."

Shen Yue's face lit up with a bright smile, and he loosened his clenched fist.

We arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion.

"His Majesty had already made arrangements; he would only personally lead the expedition after marrying Yue'er."

"I don't want her to get married," Shen Yue said with a sinister look in his eyes.

"The wedding is already being prepared. If there really is a war, my brother will marry her before going to the battlefield. I think it's fine for them to get married."

Even if I die on the battlefield, Yun Xiyue will still be yours!

Shen Yue said, "No, I don't want her to marry another man."

Murong Chen thought for a moment, "Then we can only have them take immediate action. Also, Young Master Zeng has come to the capital; let him put in a stronger effort."

"The people who assassinated Zeng Rou were from the Yun family."

Shen Yue's expression changed slightly. He had never intended to take action against the Yun family. If he did, Yue'er would never forgive him, even if she died.

But if she doesn't do this, she'll have to marry someone else.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Murong Chen immediately went to make the arrangements.

......

Zeng Xiao, the eldest son of the Zeng family, happened to be in the capital. He went directly to court and presented evidence of the Yun family's assassination attempt on Zeng Rou.

"Your Majesty, the Yun family hired someone to assassinate my sister. If this is not thoroughly investigated, I believe she is unworthy to be Empress."

Many of his ministers subsequently echoed his opinion.

However, some people sided with the Yun family, saying, "General Zeng, there is an urgent report from the border. At this critical juncture, we should prioritize the overall situation."

"Does General Xiao mean that my sister's life is lowly and can be bullied by anyone?" Zeng Xiao said angrily.

"I know there are urgent reports from the border, a major battle is imminent, and the Yun family's supplies are needed, but that's not a shield for her to send assassins to kill my sister. If things continue like this, as long as you have money and provide financial and material support to the court, you can do whatever you want?"
