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

Chapter 718

"What's wrong?"

Can a dead person jump out of the water?

Murong Yu sounded impatient and didn't want to say anything more to her.

"I originally wanted to find the bones of the Cold King to conduct a bone-dropping identification, but when I sent people to look for them, they found that the tomb was empty."

Murong Yu frowned. "Impossible."

"If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may send someone to investigate."

“I remember when Prince Han was arrested for treason, the late emperor executed him, but spared his body because they were brothers.”

"More than twenty years have passed, and there should be a pile of bones, but the coffin is empty. This shows that the Cold King is not dead at all. And Yun Xiaohan is very likely his flesh and blood."

Murong Yu's expression was stern. "I will send people to investigate this matter secretly. Mother, please do not make it public for now."

"Of course I know, only you and I know it now."

Even if Yun Xiaohan is not the son of the King of Han, he can still be used to lure out the King of Han. As long as his mother is from the Liang family, the King of Han will have some suspicions.

They will definitely come looking for Yun Xiaohan.

"If it is confirmed that Prince Han is not dead and Yun Xiaohan is his flesh and blood, what do you plan to do with the Yun family?"

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Mother, do you really want the Yun family to disappear?"

"I was just asking; I didn't say I wanted to exterminate them all," the Empress Dowager said calmly, her expression shifting slightly.

Murong Yu stood up. "Let me investigate thoroughly before we talk about it."

"Now that A-Yue is pregnant, I hope that no matter what happens, she will not be upset."

The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly. "I know that the children are the most important thing. If she can successfully give birth to three princes, I can accept her."

Murong Yu was not pleased to hear this; on the contrary, he felt disgusted.

Without saying much, I took my leave.

After leaving Funing Palace, Murong Yu thought long and hard but did not summon any ministers. Instead, he inexplicably sought out Ghost Hand.

"Prince Han?"

Ghost Hand carefully recalled this person. When he transmigrated, he seemed to have heard about the Cold King's rebellion, but he was injured at that time.

While recuperating at the Yun family home, she knew nothing of the outside world and was therefore unaware of the situation of Prince Han.

There was no Cold King in the previous life.

Only the King of Qin rebelled, followed by the King of Liang, Rui, and others who raised troops in their fiefdoms to rebel, without even the war of the Three Kingdoms alliance a year earlier.

Instead, it was a direct rebellion by the vassal kings.

Murong Yu never married an empress before his death, and he had no children in his harem. In order to ensure the stability of the country, he killed all the princes.

Including the King of Qin.

Shen Yue was able to get away unscathed despite participating in it, probably because he was the 'male lead' at this point in time!

Shen Yue originally worked hard to revitalize his family, but he married a woman not because he loved her, but for the sake of his family.

Later, she met Lin Bao'er and recognized her as her true love. The old lady of the Shen family and Li Shi conspired to kill A Yue.

His story seems to have come to an end.

"Yes, I have already sent people to verify, but I'm afraid they've already set a trap."

Ghost Hand said, "Are you worried that this is a conspiracy targeting the Yun family?"

"Ah."

Murong Yu felt a little irritated, thinking that it was impossible for the Prince of Han to still be alive. If he were still alive, he would have rebelled long ago. How could he have waited until now?

And Yun Xiaohan, could he be Han's offspring?

"Both blood drop kinship tests and bone drop kinship tests have certain limitations and cannot be used as complete proof of paternity. The best way is to do a DNA test. You don't understand what I mean."

"But there's no need to pursue it now."

For Yun Xiaohan, not being of the Xiao family bloodline was a good identity.

"Even if Prince Han were alive, Yun Xiaohan would still be innocent, and the Yun family wouldn't even know whose bloodline he is."

Murong Yu felt that he was thinking too simply. "Even if he is innocent, as long as he is of the Han King's bloodline, those with ulterior motives will make a big fuss about it."

"..."

Ghost Hand remained silent. Indeed, in ancient times, treason was a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

"Don't worry, the Yun family will be fine. At worst, the whole family can move away from Great Xia. There are plenty of places that will take in the Yun family."

"Take the neighboring Wei family for example, they really want the Yun family to move there."

Murong Yu said unhappily, "I called you here to find a solution to the problem."

It wasn't to have him help Mo Ye poach clients.
