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

Chapter 641

"emperor."

Murong Yu pulled her to sit down. "It's Lin Bao'er. She's started making her move."

"Nanyin went to the Zhou residence and it has been confirmed that she has been infected by Gu worms."

Yun Xiyue's hands and feet turned ice-cold as she angrily exclaimed, "That's too cruel!"

"Lin Bao'er did not admit it."

There is no evidence either.

Murong Yu was just as furious as she was, "This poisonous woman cannot be allowed to live."

"I will find a way to get rid of her."

Lin Bao'er hadn't expected that her efforts, done so discreetly, would be discovered.

"Does the Emperor have people from the Southern Frontier by his side?"

Shen Yue was furious. He raised his hand and grabbed her neck. "Do you want to ruin the Shen family?"

"what!"

Lin Bao'er struggled painfully, "Let me go first."

"I'm doing this to help you. Only when Yun Xiyue is deemed a wicked empress who brings disaster to the country will Murong Yu depose her. Only then will you have a chance."

Shen Yue sneered, "Do you think I'll believe you? Now that the Zhou family has pinned their finger on me, you'd better find a way to resolve this, or I'll have no choice but to hand you over."

She is no longer Lin Bao'er.

Even if she reveals the truth about the stolen weapon diagrams from back then.

Nobody believes that.

Shen Yue is a madman; he's going to fight to the death now.

"Shen Lang, don't be impulsive."

"I will handle it, and it won't involve the Shen family or you." Lin Bao'er knew his ruthlessness too well and didn't dare to challenge him, so she had to give in first. "But you have to help me find out who knows Gu magic."

If Murong Yu had such a person by his side.

That must be found as soon as possible.

Shen Yue shook her off and said, "I don't know either."

"This matter must be handled cleanly, without implicating the Shen family, or you'll be in big trouble."

But word got out.

Everyone knows that Princess Liuli came from the Southern Qiang, and the Southern Frontier and the Southern Qiang were originally one place.

Wan Jiaojiao had been in contact with her, and then happened to be infected with the Gu worm. It's not hard to guess that even without evidence, everyone avoids her like the plague.

Especially pregnant women.

Some people started calling her a witch and a poisonous woman behind her back.

Some villagers even went to Shen's house to throw rotten eggs and vegetable leaves.

This made the Shen family afraid to go out much.

In the imperial court, Zhou Yan harbored a deep grudge and demanded that Shen Yue give him an explanation and hand over the poisonous woman.

Gu poison is terrifying.

Everyone turned pale at the mention of it, and some advocated sending Princess Liuli back to the Southern Qiang Kingdom, saying she should not remain in the Great Xia.

Some advocated sending them to the hostage residence for strict supervision.

After listening to the commotion, Murong Yu said, "General Shen and Princess Liuli have just gotten married. It's not appropriate to send them away like this."

"How about this? General Shen, go to Nancheng to guard the town and bring your family with you."

Shen Yue's expression changed slightly, "Your Majesty... there is no conclusive evidence in this matter..."

“Mrs. Zhou’s children are all gone. Regardless of whether Princess Liuli did it or not, she is a suspect. If she stays in the capital, it will cause panic among everyone.”

"Either execute him, or you personally escort him back to the Southern Qiang Kingdom and explain things clearly to His Majesty. Whether to divorce or reconcile will be up to General Shen." Murong Yu gave him no chance to argue.

If none of those are possible, then the only option is to move away from the capital with one's family.

But Shen Yue was unwilling to leave like this.
