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

Chapter 509

General Zeng, however, did not believe it. “Your Majesty, this matter needs to be confronted face to face. Let us invite the Regent of Great Wei and have him remove his mask so that everyone can see it.”

"If not, then I will apologize to Miss Yun."

Murong Yu said, "Sure! If you can get the Regent of Wei to come over, then let's see if he's willing to take off his mask and show it to you."

General Zeng frowned, "Your Majesty..."

"If we can't invite him, then there's no need to say anything. Even if Bei Ye is the regent of Great Wei, it doesn't prove anything. Great Wei is an ally of Great Xia."

It is completely inappropriate to use this opportunity to accuse Yun Xiyue of treason and collusion with the enemy.

General Zeng understood this, but in order to rescue his daughter, he had to keep pressing the matter. "That being said, when he followed Miss Yun into the military camp, we were not allies."

Murong Yu remained silent, only glaring at him.

General Zeng felt a chill run down his spine, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to forgive Rou'er."

"Rou'er was just confused for a moment. Out of her affection for the Emperor and jealousy of Miss Yun, she took the opportunity to offend the future Empress."

"But she had absolutely no intention of rebelling."

Murong Yu gestured for Yun Xiyue to enter the camp first.

Then he summoned all the ministers to discuss the matter.

Yun Xiyue didn't participate and didn't know how their discussion went. In the end, Zeng Rou and Prince Rui were both released.

Just as expected.

Prince Rui did not commit any actual rebellion; he was just trying to take advantage of the situation. There is no evidence to prove that he sent someone to assassinate Murong Yu.

Because the person who assassinated Murong Yu was from the Southern Qiang Kingdom.

They accused him of treason and collusion with the enemy, but there was no evidence to support their claims.

Zeng Rou is the same.

Murong Yu said, "A-Yue."

Yun Xiyue wasn't very concerned about this matter; she just sat at her dressing table, lost in thought.

"Ah."

"What's wrong? Not happy?"

Murong Yu felt uneasy. "Many generals believe that Prince Rui and Zeng Rou's crimes do not warrant death, nor do they have any substantial treasonous intentions, so they have no choice but to release them."

"However, those who deserved punishment have been punished."

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I know, Your Majesty should just do it your way."

"Then why are you unhappy? I don't like Zeng Rou. I released her not because of past favors or affections. If the evidence is conclusive, I will not spare her."

"Also, because of Bei Ye's matter, the Zeng family is still holding on. If I don't let Zeng Rou go, the Zeng family will definitely drag you down with them."

Although it's not a big deal that Bei Ye is Mo Ye.

But it does raise suspicions that a spy has infiltrated the area.

If someone were to make a fuss about it, Yun Xiyue would be accused of treason and collusion with the enemy, while no one would care whether Mo Ye had amnesia.

Furthermore, it was uncertain whether Mo Ye would change his mind and attack Da Xia at the last minute. Considering her safety, he temporarily released Zeng Rou and Prince Rui.

Yun Xiyue wasn't upset because of this.

She didn't care that much about these things.

Zeng Rou has no influence on me.

She seems to be somewhat afraid of marriage now.

"Your Majesty... I've thought about it. Could we postpone our marriage until we return to the capital?"

"I'm sorry, you've prepared for so long, I shouldn't spoil the mood at this time, but I... I'm scared. I want to grow old with you, and I've also thought about being your wife."

"But you know I've been married once before. It's not that I feel inferior or unworthy of you; it's that I... am afraid of wearing a wedding dress and getting married again..."

Murong Yu's brows relaxed. "I understand. I was too hasty."

"It was a bit hasty to hold the wedding in Kyushu City because we didn't think it through. It's alright, we'll hold the wedding in the capital city later."

"I know you don't trust me that much right now, but time will tell."

Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him think that way. She was quite worried that he would be angry, misunderstand, or lose his temper, which would have made her feel helpless and want to run away.

I didn't expect him to understand when I said it. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Tell me anything you need to do in the future, don't keep it to yourself. I didn't tell you about the wedding because I wanted to give you a surprise."

Yun Xiyue reached out and hugged him, unable to tell him that she had been reborn and that in her previous life she had died tragically because of a terrible marriage, ruining her entire life.

"If only I had been married to you five years ago."

Murong Yu didn't think marrying him five years later was a good thing, because at that time his life was going through a period of turmoil, and he could very well lose his life.

If she marries him, she will be implicated.

It would have been better if we had met later.

"I believe our meeting was arranged by Heaven, a perfect coincidence on the front line of destiny."

Yun Xiyue raised her face. "Why do you say that?"

"Because I wasn't as wonderful as you think five years ago..."
