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

Chapter 959

Caiwei quickly helped her up.

Yun Xiyue took out a finely crafted crossbow from the hidden compartment and shot several assassins dead in succession.

As if it were some kind of signal, an army appeared shortly afterward.

Holding a crossbow, he unleashed a barrage of shots at the assassins.

In less than half an incense stick's time, all the assassins were killed.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Leng Yan and Yun Xiaohan nervously came over to ask.

"I'm fine. Let's go back!"

Looking at those who were shot.

Leng Yan and the others then realized that Yun Xiyue had not only arranged for them to escort her out of the palace this time, but had also secretly arranged for others to do so.

Leading the group was the third young master of the Yun family; these men were marksmen in the army.

Yun Xingye entered the military camp.

It was Yun Xiyue who secretly arranged for a portion of the army to remain in the capital.

Yun Xingye shot and killed someone, then led his men to tear the place apart.

"Aren't we going to investigate who's behind these people?"

Yun Xiyue said, "There's no need."

"Anyone who dares to assassinate me from now on will be killed without mercy."

But the matter still needs to be investigated.

Soon, both the Dali Temple and the Jingzhao Prefecture were on high alert.

Song Huaijin and Zhou Yan entered the palace.

"Is Your Highness alright?"

Leng Yan said, "My lords, rest assured, Her Majesty is safe and sound."

"How is General Xiao's health?"

"The Empress will give the old general acupuncture, which can help him recover."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

......

"It seems that killing Yun Xiyue won't be so easy."

"Why doesn't that bitch just die?"

Prince Rui's Mansion.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Chuhuan was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand.

"Your Highness, won't we be discovered if we do this?"

"What's there to be afraid of? Everyone's dead, no matter how they investigate, they won't be able to trace it back to us." Zhang Chuhuan said dismissively.

She just couldn't stand seeing Yun Xiyue living such a good life.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in such a terrible situation.

Now her health is failing, and her son, born prematurely, will be sickly even if he survives.

Zhang Chuhuan hated Yun Xiyue intensely.

Upon learning that Yunxiyue had been assassinated.

The Empress Dowager became somewhat worried and quickly sent someone to inquire.

"I am fine, Your Majesty need not worry."

Granny Su nodded. "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager wishes you to stay in the palace. You cannot afford to get into trouble now."

It wasn't just because she was pregnant with a prince.

Another issue is that there's fighting on the border, so the emperor can't return.

Someone needs to be in charge in the palace.

The Empress Dowager was well aware of the situation. Although it was not what she wanted to see, it was a fact that the Great Xia Dynasty desperately needed Yun Xiyue.

The Empress Dowager also began to worry about her safety.

Madam Yun laughed and said, "Has the Empress Dowager changed her mind?"

"You must have figured it out by now!" Yun Xiyue said calmly.

If she still can't figure it out, then she's completely beyond saving.

They couldn't be bothered with her anymore.

"How is the Princess doing in prison?"
