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

Chapter 494

"Take the Gu doctor back first," Murong Yu said.

The Gu Doctor was a young boy, a weak and timid boy who would tremble in fear even if Murong Yu just glanced at him.

The shadow replied, "I cannot obey. My mission is to protect your safety."

If he were to abandon his master at this moment and lead people back to rescue Yun Xiyue, even if Yun Xiyue were saved, he would still be unable to forgive himself for the loss of his master.

Dragon Shadow Guardian is here to protect the emperor of Great Xia.

"This is an order. The duty of the Dragon Shadow Guards is to obey my orders." Murong Yu said solemnly.

Shadow's eyes were bloodshot. "Your subordinate..."

"Take him back immediately to save A-Yue!" Murong Yu's eyes were firm and unwavering.

Shadow had no choice but to kneel and kowtow, then leave with the young Gu doctor.

The young man glanced back at Murong Yu every few steps.

"You won't die, will you? If you die, what about your promise to help me get revenge?"

Murong Yu said, "As long as you save my wife, a gentleman's word is as good as gold, and I will absolutely not go back on my word."

Seeing his certainty, the boy followed the shadow and left in another direction.

Murong Yu stayed behind; he was their target.

......

Seven or eight days passed, and there was still no news of Murong Yu.

Leng Yan and the others became anxious.

"What do we do now? I'll go and meet the Emperor!"

Mo Ye said, "In this way, Murong Yu's location will be exposed, and those who want to kill him will find out immediately, making it even less safe."

"Your Majesty, Shadow has returned." At this moment, the guard immediately came to report.

Pei Shang and Leng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but they only saw the shadow and the Gu doctor, not Murong Yu.

Their hearts skipped a beat. "Where is the Emperor?"

"We were ambushed. The enemy wanted to assassinate the Emperor. In order to escort the Gu Doctor back to save the young lady, the Emperor lured the enemy and asked me to escort him back alone."

This means that Murong Yu risked his life just to protect this Gu doctor.

Being watched by so many people.

The boy was startled and quickly hid behind the shadow.

He was short and thin, with delicate features, looking no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. His skin was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun for years, and was bloodless.

"Let's save them first," Mo Ye said.

Leng Yan and Ying Zi rushed over to rescue the person.

Pei Shang brought the boy to rescue Yun Xiyue.

I heard that the Dragon Shadow Guard brought back a Gu healer.

Zeng Rou came over, "Brother Yu..."

"Don't come any closer, get out!" Pei Shang was annoyed with her. Unlike Murong Yu, she couldn't keep her temper in check, and her attitude towards her was extremely bad.

Eunuch Fu stopped her, "General Zeng Rou, the Emperor is currently bringing a Gu doctor to save the young lady. Please do not come in and disturb him, or you will not be able to bear the consequences."

"I just have something very important to tell Brother Yu." Zeng Rou's eyes were slightly red, she was angry and furious but dared not lose her temper in front of Murong Yu.

Finally, I was able to kill Yun Xiyue.

If someone manages to wake him up, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?

"Eunuch Fu, please let me in first."

"I want to see Brother Yu."

Zeng Rou planned to break in.

......

The border region is surrounded by no mountains, only a vast expanse of yellow earth.

Murong Yu led his men into this wild and desolate area, where the weather was completely different from that on the border of the Great Xia.

It felt like entering another world. It was hot, dry, and without water, while the Great Xia across the way was covered in ice and snow.

Going south while heading north.

The assassin relentlessly pursued him.

There was no other way but to fight back.

"Your Majesty, there are too many of them. Why don't you retreat first?"

Murong Yu couldn't guarantee that Shadow had returned safely with the others. He couldn't retreat; he had to lure everyone over.

"If Shadow goes back, he will send someone to meet us."

"Everyone, hold on a little longer."
