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

Chapter 638

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you have finally survived this perilous ordeal and escaped death."

At the Prince's residence, Shen Yue raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Today is his wedding night, a second time he will marry Lin Bao'er.

He was dressed in a red groom's robe, but he never expected to be on his wedding night.

Murong Chen's injuries had not yet healed, and he looked at him with sympathy, saying, "We are brothers in misfortune. After Huan'er gives birth, I will go to guard the imperial mausoleum. It will be three years before I return to where I started."

After returning from his fiefdom, he went through a war before finally gaining control of the army, but now he is still a king inactive.

"By then, my brother's throne will become more and more secure."

Shen Yue smiled and said, "There's plenty of time ahead, Your Highness. Don't be discouraged. Aren't there still Prince Liang and others? Several princes are still here. As long as they all return, the Emperor will never have a peaceful day."

"When he is forced to the point of having no other choice, he will kill these princes. In this way, he can also help the princes clear obstacles in advance."

This is true.

"I have escaped death this time. I must not act rashly in the future. My fate is in your hands."

Lin Bao'er could still be used, but she wanted to kill Yun Xiyue, which was not Shen Yue's goal.

Shen Yue didn't want Yun Xiyue to die; the person he wanted to kill was Murong Yu.

“Actually, you don’t necessarily have to kill them.” Murong Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If you want Yun Xiyue, it’s actually very simple: just kidnap her from the palace.”

Shen Yue did want to, but doing so would invite Murong Yu's pursuit. What he wanted for the future was to start over with Yun Xiyue and be like husband and wife.

Instead of hiding and fleeing, and besides, kidnapping Yun Xiyue at this time would mean he would lose his current power and status.

He once had nothing, and he has come up from the bottom to where he is now. If he gives up, what will he have to make Yue'er like him?

"Then let's talk about it when Second Brother comes back!" Murong Chen said.

......

"Meet the Queen."

The next day, Lin Bao'er entered the palace as a new bride to pay her respects to the Empress.

In the end, she still had to serve tea to Yun Xiyue. Lin Bao'er felt extremely resentful and unwilling.

"Please sit down, Madam Shen." Yun Xiyue took the tea and put it down, her smile faint.

Lin Bao'er had changed her face, but her resentful eyes remained the same. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I won't bother you any longer. I still need to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Yun Xiyue was worried that she might be a threat to the Empress Dowager, so she found an excuse to accompany her to Funing Palace.

Fortunately, Lin Bao'er did nothing wrong; after serving tea, she had a pleasant conversation with the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager seemed to like her quite a bit.

There was also the eldest princess, and in just a few days, Lin Bao'er became a concubine and a noble lady in the capital. They got along very well.

He even became friends with Wan Jiaojiao.

"Sister Xiyue, Shen Yue is really lucky. He has now married a princess. This princess of the Southern Qiang Kingdom is much better than Lin Bao'er."

Even my mother-in-law doesn't praise her.

Yun Xiyue smiled. "Really?"

"Sister Xiyue, do you not like Princess Liuli?" Wan Jiaojiao quickly noticed.

Yun Xiyue went out of the palace today to inspect the shops and visited Gong Shu at the Prime Minister's residence. She happened to run into Wan Jiaojiao who was buying fabric at her shop, and they chatted for a while.

"No."

"Maybe it's because we don't talk much!"

Wan Jiaojiao laughed and said, "Princess Liuli said she didn't dare to approach you because she always felt that you were hostile towards her. She seemed to know nothing about Lin Bao'er. Later, a lady told her, and that's when she found out."

"I think she's quite naive."

simple?

She's too scheming, and her acting skills are superb.
