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

Chapter 490

"Pei Shang!" Gong Shu had been watching over him the whole time. Seeing him wake up made her the happiest.

Pei Shang slowly turned his head to look at her, "I..."

"Don't speak." Gong Shu found a military doctor to examine his wounds and said that there was nothing serious and he just needed to rest.

She breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, you guys really scared me to death."

"What happened to you after I fell unconscious?" Pei Shang only remembered that more and more people poured out of the plum grove, and his secret guards were gradually killed. He stood guard at the entrance of the cave, constantly slashing and killing.

He heard her cries, but couldn't get away to save her.

After killing the last assassin, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a coma.

“Sister Xiyue…” Gong Shu started crying as she spoke, telling him everything.

Pei Shang's face turned grim. He then realized that the assassins wanted to kill him, and if they couldn't kill him, they planned to ruin Gong Shu's reputation and destroy the marriage alliance between the two countries.

"It's all my fault for being useless. Sister Xiyue got hurt because she was protecting me. That Zeng Rou is awful. She didn't help me when I was dying and even tried to kill me to cover it up."

Gong Shu couldn't win an argument with Zeng Rou and harbored resentment towards her.

“This is the Great Xia military camp…” Her words carried little weight, and Pei Shang reached out to wipe away her tears. “Don’t cry, it’s not your fault. If anything, I’m the one who’s useless.”

If he had killed those few who escaped the net faster, they wouldn't have been in such danger.

"No, you're amazing."

Gong Shu looked at him with admiration. She had heard that he had single-handedly held off dozens of assassins!

"How is Yunxi Yue?" Pei Shang asked, taking a breath after eating something.

"He hasn't woken up yet."

Gong Shu had her brother send over a maid and a lot of things; she's been staying with Pei Shang for the past few days.

Everything in the tents was replaced.

"Miss, it's time to apply medicine to Young Master Pei." A maid came over with the ointment.

"I come."

Pei Shang froze. "Um...you've been taking care of me these past few days!"

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly replied, "Yes! Our young lady personally took care of everything for the young master, including wiping his body, changing his clothes, applying medicine, feeding him water and food, and even having our young master find the best medicine to treat your injuries."

Gong Shu blushed. "Alright, you can all leave now!"

It was only then that Pei Shang realized he wasn't wearing any clothes, only a pair of underpants.

Upon hearing that he had woken up, Murong Yu came to visit him.

"Lie down! You look radiant and healthy, thanks to Miss Gong Liu taking care of you day and night."

Pei Shang felt embarrassed. "My cousin is too stingy. He won't arrange someone for me."

“Ah Yue is injured, just as badly as you,” Murong Yu said with worry. “She hasn’t woken up yet.”

Pei Shang frowned. "I heard it from Gong Shu. Does that assassin have any connection with Zeng Rou?"

“The person is dead.” Murong Yu’s eyes darkened slightly.

Even if it exists, Zeng Rou won't admit it, and there's nothing we can do about it without evidence.

"I'm sorry, I failed to protect her," Pei Shang said, blaming himself.

"It's not your fault. This time, you and Gong Shu are the targets."

"have a good rest!"

Pei Shang nodded.

"Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking the city!" At this moment, Sikong Xuanche led his army to the city gates.

Murong Yu had no choice but to accept the challenge.

This fight lasted for three days.

With the help of the Wei Kingdom's military forces, things were much easier than before.

In particular, Mo Ye made an unprecedented move by personally leading troops to help defend the city, instantly making the entire Kyushu City impregnable, allowing Murong Yu to fight Sikong Xuanche on the battlefield with peace of mind.

The Xia Dynasty replenished its weapons in time, and with the support of machine bows and crossbows, the Beigong Kingdom quickly suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.

After the war ended, Mo Ye came to the Great Xia army camp.

"I heard that A-Yue is unconscious and that someone is harming her. Brother Murong, you know who it is, so why don't you execute this person?" Mo Ye questioned as soon as he arrived.

"If you cannot protect A-Yue, then hand her over to me, and I will take her away."
