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

Chapter 519

There's no way they can compare to the three great families of the capital.

However, as an only child, Yun Xiyue's dowry was already quite generous, and this time it was even more so.

"She's really lucky. First she was the wife of a marquis, and now she's the empress of the Great Xia Dynasty." Murong Chen wondered to himself how a mere girl from the Yun family could have such good fortune. Others who got divorced certainly didn't have this kind of luck.

"Because someone helped her defy fate." At this moment, a young man stepped out from behind the two.

He is Cui Yan, the son of the Grand Preceptor of Dongling Kingdom.

Upon arriving in the capital, these hostages were free, but they were not allowed to leave the capital of Great Xia. They were all provided with hostage residences.

Every move they make is being monitored.

Once they leave the capital, they will be killed without exception.

"Defy fate and change destiny?" Shen Yue asked in confusion.

"How so? Please enlighten me, Young Master Cui."

Cui Yan lowered his eyes but remained silent.

Why should I tell him?

His divination is worth a thousand pieces of gold; it's priceless.

He glanced at Shen Yue indifferently, left with a puzzling remark, and then departed.

"Don't rush, there are too many people here and too much gossip. We'll find a chance to see him and ask him what's going on." Murong Chen pulled Shen Yue back.

Cui Yan was merely trying to find them and deliberately threw out bait.

It was only with great difficulty that the matter was brought to a peaceful conclusion.

They cannot act rashly now, especially at Murong Yu's wedding.

Anyone who dares to disrupt the wedding today, Murong Yu will definitely kill him.

Therefore, Murong Chen was extremely cautious and came to keep a close eye on Shen Yue, fearing that he might have a moment of madness and try to steal the bride.

Then all the previous efforts would have been wasted.

Shen Yue was unwilling to accept this and wished he could jump down and kill Murong Yu, then take Yun Xiyue away.

He wasn't the only one who wanted to do that.

However, Murong Yu had already sent people to keep an eye on them.

Mo Ye dared not make any rash moves.

Everything went smoothly once they arrived at the palace.

"Ayue."

Murong Yu reached out and lifted her down, saying, "Once we walk through this gate, we'll be husband and wife."

Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."

The coronation ceremony and the wedding ceremony were held in the same place.

The ceremony for her coronation as empress was particularly complicated. She had to first receive the investiture, and then Murong Yu would personally place the phoenix crown on her head as empress before they would perform the rites of husband and wife.

The ceremony only ended when it was completed.

It took me all day.

Everything had been going smoothly and there seemed to be no problem.

But there are always people who want to sabotage things.

When Yun Xiyue was escorted to the inner palace, to the Jiaofang Palace where the Empress resided.

"Your Majesty, the Regent of Great Wei requests an audience."

Granny Chen glanced at the palace maid, "You don't know the rules. Her Highness needs to rest at this time; how can she see officials from outside the palace?"

The palace maid was startled. "This servant... was just relaying a message. Prince Mo has arrived outside the Jiaofang Palace. He said he has something important to tell you."

Chen Mama said, "Your Highness, I'll go take a look. You should rest for a while; His Majesty will be back soon."

How could Mo Ye possibly come to Jiaofang Palace at this time?

"Granny, just have this maid go and tell her." Yun Xiyue found it strange and stared coldly at the maid.

"Tell the prince that we can discuss this tomorrow."

The palace maid trembled with fear and then curtsied and ran out.

Not long after, news came that a palace maid had drowned herself in the lake.

The person who came was not Mo Ye at all, but just a drunken general.

"who is it?"

Granny Chen felt a pang of regret. She had heard that the palace maid had been pinned down and assaulted by a man as soon as she arrived. The man was extremely rough, treating her like a remedy in the Imperial Garden without any regard for her feelings.

Although it was night, a wedding was being held in the palace. Many people were patrolling, and some guards and eunuchs who passed by saw her covered in cloth, receiving pleasure from a man. The man was a general, and once recognized, no one dared to disturb him.

Afterwards, the palace maid, unable to bear the blow, drowned herself in the lake.

If she went, she would definitely end up like this.

Or rather, if Yunxi Yue were to meet this person, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Thinking about it carefully, the person behind it was too vicious. Chen Mama felt a chill down her spine. Because at first she didn't want to make a big fuss, for fear of affecting Yun Xiyue's reputation, she planned to take a maid and quietly send her away.
