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

Chapter 439

Zeng Rou put it down but didn't leave. "Was it a letter from Yun Xiyue?"

"Ah."

Murong Yu didn't touch the food. "You can go down now."

“Brother Yu…” Zeng Rou smiled bitterly to herself, “With Eunuch Fu not here, I should stay and take care of you.”

"This is a battlefield, a military camp. There are no rules or pretenses here."

"You don't need anyone to serve you, you can leave!"

Zeng Rou was unwilling to give up, "Then remember to eat. You can't go to the battlefield if you don't eat enough."

He remained indifferent, not even glancing up at me.

Zeng Rou had no choice but to go out first.

A moment later, Eunuch Fu returned, "Your Majesty..."

"Check if there's anything wrong with the food. If there isn't, give it to the wounded soldiers. Also, send me another portion."

Grandpa Fu went off to do his work.

The food was fine, but Murong Yu still dared not eat anything the woman brought him.

Leng Yan prepared another portion for the three of them to eat together, along with Pei Shang.

“The Emperor of Beigong Kingdom has also personally led the expedition; we should run into him then,” Pei Shang said.

Murong Yu, recalling the military strategies Yun Xiyue had taught him, began to devise a plan.

"this......"

Pei Shang and Leng Yan had some doubts after seeing his plan.

"Your Majesty, this... is a risky move."

“If we don’t do this, Shen Yi won’t take the bait,” Murong Yu said.

"Eat your fill first, and Leng Yan, do as I say."

Pei Shang said, "Leng Yan will stay and protect you. I'll go."

"You need to go back to Beijing."

Pei Shang immediately objected, "I'm not going back to the capital."

I simply don't understand why he wanted me to return to Beijing at this time.

"Cousin, are you looking down on me?"

Murong Yu said, "No, something happened in the capital. I'm worried about A-Yue. My uncle and mother are targeting the Yun family and want to harm her."

"I can't leave right now, so I can only send you back to find a way to stop your uncle."

He was the only one who could persuade the Empress Dowager and Pei Fang.

Murong Yu had considered having Pei Shang stay.

But he also worried that if Pei Shang and Yun Xiyue went through hardships together, A-Yue might fall in love with Pei Shang in the future...

He now felt that nothing was more important than Yun Xiyue's safety, so he changed his mind.

Pei Shang paused for a moment, then sat down. "Then I won't go back. If I go back, Yun Xiyue will probably try to persuade me to come back. She's definitely worried about you too."

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "A Shang, you've fallen for A Yue?"

Pei Shang froze.

Leng Yan, standing to the side, felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, I believe it is best to let Pei Shang stay!"

Murong Yu lowered his eyes and gave a faint "hmm".

"Then you two go and do this together."

Pei Shang insisted that he could go by himself, and asked Leng Yan to stay behind to protect Murong Yu.

Zeng Rou harbored ulterior motives and always wanted to get close to him.

Prince Rui was no good either.

Pei Shang wouldn't feel at ease without Leng Yan present.

......

It was a month after Yunxi Yue received the letter from home.

Reports came from the border that Murong Yu had won three consecutive battles.

The civil and military officials throughout the city, as well as the common people of the capital, were very excited and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
