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

Chapter 621

"Your Majesty, do you really intend to execute Zhou Zhilan?" Yun Xiyue asked.

Murong Yu wants to deal with Prince Rui. "That depends on her performance. She still has illusions about Prince Rui and is unwilling to betray him."

As long as Zhou Zhilan says that it was Prince Rui who forced her and seduced her.

Then he could punish Prince Rui, strip him of his throne, and exile him.

Without the status of a prince, Murong Chen couldn't cause any trouble even if he wanted to. If the Empress Dowager knew that he was seducing the Emperor's concubine, she would be disappointed in him.

Will Prince Rui save her?

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "I don't know. Prince Rui is ruthless, but he might save people to gain the Zhou family's support. After all, he needs the Zhou family's support to seize the throne."

Yun Xiyue understood that he not only wanted to deal with Prince Rui, but also to test the loyalty of the Zhou family.

Indeed, if the Zhou family were to side with Prince Rui and aid and abet the tyrant because of Zhou Zhilan, then such a minister should not be employed.

"Ah Yue, are you afraid of me?" Murong Yu held her hand. As the emperor, he didn't have many choices.

I dare not easily trust anyone.

Even his own mother would take advantage of him.

Yun Xiyue said, "The Emperor did this to protect himself and to eliminate treacherous officials. You haven't indiscriminately killed innocent people or plotted against loyal ministers, so why should I be afraid of you?"

"I was too trusting of others in the past, which led to my current predicament... We should all have the ability to protect ourselves."

His father taught him how to protect himself from a young age.

Murong Yu asked suspiciously, "A-Yue, are you hiding something from me?"

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "No."

"I mean my past life."

Murong Yu pulled her into his arms, saying, "I will stay with you from now on."

......

"Your Highness, what are your plans now?"

Murong Chen was somewhat annoyed. "That woman is a fool. I told her not to act rashly, but she insisted on being clever."

That night, Shen Yue appeared and saved Qi Yumin. He told her that as long as she didn't tell anyone, she could save her life.

Qi Yumin was timid, and since Shen Yue had saved her, she promised not to identify Zhou Zhilan.

But Zhou Zhilan wanted her dead, so she couldn't blame her.

Shen Yue drank his tea. "I can help Your Highness get rid of the troubles in the palace, but Your Highness needs to do me a favor."

"You want me to help you get rid of Lin Bao'er?" Having worked together for more than two years, they had to admit they were very compatible.

Shen Yue's eyes turned sinister. He had had enough of Lin Bao'er and would no longer let her do as she pleased.

Moreover, Lin Bao'er's purpose in coming to Da Xia this time is to harm Yun Xiyue.

Her current inaction is what makes people more worried; perhaps she has already made a plan without letting him discover it.

"Your Highness, Lin Bao'er is a madwoman. She is a threat to us as soon as she lives. This scourge must be eradicated as soon as possible."

Murong Chen said, "This woman survived falling from a cliff thousands of feet high; she's incredibly resilient. If you can't kill her, I don't have a better way!"

"Why don't you help me get rid of that stupid woman in the palace first?"

“If my brother finds something wrong with me, I will have no way to stay in the capital. You are alone in the capital, and you are even less likely to be a match for my brother. Just because he doesn’t do anything to you now doesn’t mean he won’t do anything to you in the future.”

Shen Yue frowned. "Then you'll have to help me deal with Lin Bao'er too."

That woman is a shameless slut who sleeps with anyone.

He didn't want to touch that kind of woman again.

Murong Chen naturally didn't want to sleep with him, and wouldn't accept it even if it were given to him for free, so he came up with a plan to give it to him.
