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

Chapter 495

They had nowhere to retreat.

"We swear to protect our master to the death!" The guards surrounded him, ready to fight to the death.

Murong Yu did not intend to sit and wait for death, so he found a canyon and led his men to hide inside.

This is the only place with jungle.

It's safer once we hide inside.

“They all went into the poisonous forests of southern Xinjiang.”

Shen Yue burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Haha, that's great. Block off the road, we can't let him out."

"The poisonous forests of southern Xinjiang are full of snakes, insects, and poisonous spiders. If they don't understand how to survive there, they will only face death."

Upon learning the news, Prince Rui also began making preparations.

Now is his best chance to seize power.

"Has the Zeng family agreed?"

"Hmph, they have no choice but to agree."

Prince Rui, Murong Chen, surrounded Murong Yu's tent with his men. "Pei Shang, how dare you collude with the Regent of Great Wei to murder your elder brother!"

"Men, take them all down!"

Zeng Rou became anxious upon hearing this, "Eunuch Fu, isn't the Emperor the person inside?"

Eunuch Fu was taken aback, not expecting Prince Rui to know. "Prince Rui, what are you doing? The Emperor and the Regent of Great Wei rescued the young lady together, and Great Xia and Great Wei are allies."

"Hmph, Eunuch Fu, you still want to deceive me! The person inside is not my elder brother, but Pei Shang," Murong Chen said sternly.

Upon hearing this, many soldiers were puzzled. "Eunuch Fu, please invite the Emperor out. We need to see the Emperor."

"Eunuch Fu, please move aside." Zeng Rou pushed him aside and rushed inside.

"Be bold!"

Pei Shang stepped forward to stop her, "Prince Rui, are you planning a rebellion?"

Murong Chen sneered, "You're the one who wants to rebel!"

He then ordered someone to go over and pin him down.

Pei Shang was injured, so it was truly remarkable that he was able to stand up and impersonate Murong Yu.

I wanted to resist, but the wound hurt terribly whenever I moved it.

With excitement in his eyes, Murong Chen stepped forward and removed his human skin mask. "Please take a look, everyone."

"It really is Pei Shang!"

"Young Master Pei, where is the Emperor?"

Pei Shang was furious. "The Emperor has left to take care of some business. What you've done is ruining his plans and putting him in danger. Can you bear the responsibility?"

"Hmph, utter nonsense. It's impossible for my imperial brother to leave the military camp. Even if he wanted to leave, he would definitely inform General Zeng first," Murong Chen said.

"Pei Shang, hand over your imperial brother at once!"

Pei Shang sneered, looking at the large number of people he had brought, but General Zeng was nowhere to be seen. It was clear that he had been sent away, and everyone here was his man.

"Murong Chen, how dare you! Are you planning to rebel while your cousin is away?"

"I'm telling you, you're delusional!"

Murong Chen's lips curled into a cold smile, but he still spoke sharply and indignantly, "Now that things have come to this, you still dare to turn the tables? Arrest him and the Regent of Great Wei together first."

Mo Ye stayed by Yun Xiyue's side, never leaving her side.

"Quickly remove the poison from her."

The boy was terrified, sweating profusely.

"Um......"

Zeng Rou tried to come in, but was sent flying by a palm strike.

Prince Rui and Pei Shang were facing off.

Suddenly someone threw something at them, which startled everyone.

"General!" Zeng Rou's men went over to help her up.

Mo Ye slowly walked out from behind the beaded curtain, glanced at Murong Chen, and sneered: "Murong Yu left the military camp to handle some business. It was something I discussed with him. Having Young Master Pei impersonate him was to avoid any unforeseen complications and to deliberately lure the enemy."

"To accuse Young Master Pei of colluding with me, Prince Rui needs to provide evidence!"

Murong Chen frowned. "Then I'll trouble the Regent to take your men and leave."

“Although we are allies, the disappearance of my royal brother is no small matter and cannot be explained by a single sentence from you. Unless Leng Yan and the Dragon Shadow Guard step forward and say that it was my royal brother’s doing, neither you nor Pei Shang’s words will be credible.”

Everyone agreed that what Prince Rui said made sense.

Mo Ye was always an outsider.

The emperor has disappeared, and he is the prime suspect.
