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

Chapter 496

Mo Ye looked at Murong Chen and sneered, "You can let me leave, but I'm taking Yun Xiyue with me."

“No!” Pei Shang said immediately.

"Generals, it is Prince Rui who wants to rebel now. The Emperor will be back soon. The Great Wei Kingdom and we are still allies."

“Grandpa Fu can testify to this.”

Eunuch Fu entered and said, "Generals, please be patient. His Majesty has gone out on business. Commander Leng and Lord Shadow have gone to fetch him and will be back soon. Pei Shang is disguising himself as the Emperor; this is His Majesty's order."

But no matter what he said, the generals present did not believe him.

"Let's wait for General Zeng to return and decide on this matter," someone suggested.

"However, Prince Mo, these are special times. Please take your men back to the Great Wei army camp first, and we will make a decision after our Emperor returns."

Murong Chen glanced at the woman lying on the bed. "As for Miss Yun, she is the future Empress of our Great Xia Dynasty. I cannot let you take her away."

By doing this, he made it seem to everyone that he had no intention of rebelling.

If Murong Yu doesn't return, then Pei Shang will be the scapegoat.

He could win over another wave of people's hearts, and then he could go back to inherit the throne after the war. In any case, Murong Yu had already cleaned up the mess. The three kingdoms of Beigong, Dongling, and Nanqiang had no intention of fighting anymore, so he proposed a truce.

Then everything will be fine.

Murong Chen was secretly delighted.

But it seems he overlooked one crucial step.

Then it's Mo Ye.

Mo Ye said, "I will wait for Murong Yu to return."

"He entrusted me with the task of protecting Yun Xiyue."

"If you question me, I won't hesitate to fight you again. But Prince Rui, I'm afraid you are no match for me."

Upon hearing this, everyone panicked. The other three kingdoms might not be interested in fighting anymore, but if the Great Wei really launched an attack on the Great Xia, with Murong Yu gone, Prince Rui might not be able to withstand it, and the kingdom could be destroyed in an instant.

Murong Chen's eyes darkened. "Then you can take Yun Xiyue away."

“Your Highness…this may not be appropriate,” a general objected.

Murong Chen's eyes hardened as he drew his sword and held it to Murong Chen's neck. "Do as I say. Now that my brother is not here, I am the one who calls the shots."

“Mo Ye is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. If we let him stay here, he will only bring trouble. Yun Xiyue is not the Empress of Great Xia yet, so it wouldn’t hurt to give her to him as well.”

Pei Shang immediately became anxious, "Prince Mo!"

Mo Ye's expression was indifferent. He had already made up his mind not to get involved in the internal strife of the Great Xia Dynasty and was unwilling to help Murong Yu clean up this mess. As long as Yun Xiyue was taken away, he would only protect her and would not care about the lives of others.

"Your Highness..." Yun Xiyue had woken up early, but she was still unable to move. The young man in front of her fed her some water before she had the strength to speak.

"you're awake?"

Mo Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

"Yun Xiyue, how dare you! You're so promiscuous and shameless, openly seducing other men. A woman like you is not worthy of being the Empress of our Great Xia!" Zeng Rou finally recovered and saw that Yun Xiyue had woken up.

She immediately began to criticize him for his intimate behavior with Mo Ye.

Mo Ye found her noisy and waved his hand as if to kill her.

“Your Highness…” Yun Xiyue grabbed his sleeve and shook her head, “It’s not wise to cause any trouble now…we should try to capture Prince Rui.”

"Why should I help you?" Mo Ye felt uncomfortable.

At this time, she also had to help Murong Yu protect his empire.

He got angry!

Yun Xiyue was now too weak to speak, "Bei Ye..."

She wanted Bei Ye to capture Prince Rui.

She just didn't expect that Bei Ye wouldn't be by her side.

Mo Ye froze. "Don't move."

He laid her down and then suddenly intervened to save Pei Shang.

None of those soldiers were a match for him.

Upon seeing this, Murong Chen instinctively tried to escape, "Pei Shang, Yun Xiyue is colluding with the Great Wei to rebel, kill them quickly!"

The camp was surrounded, and no one came in from the outside; it was the soldiers of the Great Wei who came in.

The generals inside sensed something was wrong and went out to check, only to find that they were surrounded.

"Your Highness, the outside is full of Wei soldiers."

Murong Chen had a bad feeling, even though he had clearly replaced the people with his own.
