Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Chu Xunzhen's gaze fell on Li Yi.

Li Yi trembled all over.

Nangong You's words were quite clear.

She opened her mouth, then paused, and finally spoke after a long while.

"Won't the Third Prince make things difficult for the Ninth Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong You chuckled and said, "Of course not, I dote on her too much."

As soon as he spoke, the surroundings became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Chu Xunzhen stared intently at Nangong You and said coldly, "Shameless scoundrel. With your character, do you still think you can sit in that position in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong You chuckled softly and gripped Chu Xunzhen's hand even tighter.

"What? You want me to ascend the throne and give you a title? It's not impossible, but we'll see how you perform in a moment."

Nangong You smiled deeply, grabbed Chu Xunzhen, and walked forward.

Seeing this scene, Granny Li couldn't help but look at the Lady of the Marquis.

"Madam, weren't you filled with regret and remorse? How could you let the Third Prince take the Princess away?"

Lady Hou's body stiffened: "We cannot offend the Third Prince."

Upon hearing this, Granny Li shook her head.

If Chu Wanrou had been captured by the Third Prince, the Madam would have rushed to fight for her life. But when it was Chu Xunzhen, she wasn't as anxious as she had said.

Chu Xunzhen was being dragged along by Nangong You, struggling and unwilling to leave with him.

She opened her mouth to shout for help into the street, but a cloth rope was strangled to her lips, and she could only make muffled sounds.

"Madam, are you really not going to save the Ninth Prince's Consort?"

Granny Li asked Li Yi again.

She had witnessed firsthand how distraught her mistress had been before, and now she was determined not to let her suffer the same fate.

"It's beyond saving."

Li Yi's voice was calm, as if the person who had been taken away was not her daughter.

Chu Xunzhen just stared at Chu Zhanpeng and Li Yi.

That calm gaze sent shivers down their spines.

The two turned their heads simultaneously. Chu Zhanpeng looked in the other direction, seemingly about to attend to something, while Li Yi's gaze was unfocused, as if his eyes were blurred by the sandstorm.

"Oh!"

Chu Xunzhen smiled bitterly to himself.

They really abandoned her completely. Since they've severed ties, she shouldn't have any expectations, right?

Chu Xunzhen closed her eyes, no longer wanting to look at anyone.

At that moment, she felt only despair.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

"Let her go!"

Chu Xunzhen suddenly opened her eyes and looked in the direction from which the sound came with a surprised expression.

The person who just shouted was actually Granny Li.

Nangong You was taken aback, and suddenly stared coldly at Chu Zhanpeng.

"Lord Chu, your inner quarters are truly appalling. How dare a lowly maidservant yell at me like that?"

Chu Zhanpeng's expression immediately changed drastically, and he angrily said, "Your Highness, please calm down. Li Mama, why aren't you back here at once?"

Li Mama thought to herself: I'm going all out!

"Help! The Third Prince is coveting the Ninth Princess and is trying to kidnap her! Help!"

Granny Li suddenly rushed out of the courtyard and ran wildly through the mansion, shouting all the way.

Chu Xun was really stunned.

None of her closest relatives saved her; instead, it was a nanny she had met a few times who was searching for her chance of survival.

Chu Zhanpeng's old face turned blue and purple.

He could pretend that he couldn't understand Nangong You's actions, deceiving himself.

But the way Granny Li ran around begging for help really embarrassed him.

Li Yi stood there, completely stunned.

She watched as Granny Li ran and shouted for her, the Lady of the Marquis's own daughter, while she, the birth mother, stood still, unmoved, which made her seem so incompetent and cowardly.

Li Yi's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he roared at the servants, "Seize her! Punish her according to family law!"

Although Granny Li was thin and frail, she pushed aside all the maids who blocked her way.

Seeing the guards draw their long swords and block her way, her old face changed color, and she actually grabbed the swords with her bare hands.

In an instant, her hand turned completely blood red.

Chu Xunzhen stared intently at this scene.

To everyone's astonishment, Granny Li rushed out of the Marquis's mansion gate, shouting, "Help! Lord Zhou, help me!"

The guards chased after them out of the mansion.

Nangong You's face was grim as he stared intently at Chu Zhanpeng, saying, "Just how incompetent is Lord Chu that an old maid could escape from the Marquis's residence?"

He flicked his long sleeves, grabbed Chu Xunzhen who was tightly bound, and ran outside.

At the same time, Anshun finally came to his senses.

He drew his longsword and chased after Nangong You.

"Nangong You, where do you think you're going? Give me back my princess!"

Anshun roared and charged forward with his sword.

However, the ones blocking Eunuch Anshun's way were not Nangong You's guards, but guards from the Marquis of Ping'an's residence.

Chu Zhanpeng spoke in a deep voice: "Eunuch Anshun, the Third Prince only invited Zhenzhen to catch up; he won't do anything to her. You're just a lowly servant; why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Hua's face contorted with rage: "You are utterly unworthy to be called the Princess's father! You despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

As she spoke, she quickly grasped the pink and blue brocade box inside.

She seized the opportunity during the chaos to grab the person who brought the brocade box back and retrieve her natal Gu worm.

Anshun Gonggong used his lightness skill to chase after Nangong You.

However, a man in red stood in front of Anshun's father-in-law.

He held a folding fan and waved it at Grandpa Anshun.

Anshun Gonggong suddenly pulled out his long whip and engaged in a fierce battle with his opponent.

Half an hour later.

Chu Xunzhen was pushed into one of the side rooms of the Third Prince's Mansion.

Nangong You untied the gag from her mouth and smiled deeply.

She glared angrily at Nangong You and said, "What will it take for you to release this princess?"

"Release you?" Nangong You looked at Chu Xunzhen as if she were a fool. "Fine, become my woman, and I will release you."

Chu Xunzhen stared coldly at Nangong You and said in a cold voice, "I am the wife of your Ninth Imperial Brother."

Nangong You scoffed, "So what? Chu Xunzhen, behave yourself, or you'll suffer."

Chu Xunzhen abruptly turned her head away, unwilling to look at him again.

Nangong You didn't care. In a short while, he led someone back to the room where Chu Xunzhen was being held.

At this moment, Chu Xunzhen was curled up on the bed, her hands and feet still bound.

Hearing the sound, she didn't even intend to turn around.

Nangong You chuckled and said, "Chu Xunzhen, meet your old friend."

Chu Xunzhen couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.

A familiar voice rang out from behind her.

"Chu Xunzhen, you've finally met your match."

Chu Xunzhen's pupils dilated, and he abruptly turned his head away.

Is that you?

Chen Lianxin.

"Enough! I summoned you here not so you could mock her. Now, immediately remove the natal Gu worm from her body. Otherwise, get out of my sight."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chen Lianxin felt humiliated inside, but her face remained as calm as before.

She walked up to Chu Xunzhen, placed her hands on his back, and began to feel around.

After a long pause, she finally spoke to Nangong You: "In her palm."

As she spoke, she made a slash in Chu Xunzhen's palm, and the pure white Little White jumped out from the wound.

The moment Xiaobai appeared, Chu Xunzhen whistled, and the next instant, Xiaobai suddenly bit Chen Lianxin's hand.

Bright red blood flowed down Chen Lianxin's hand. Xiaobai suddenly jumped to the ground and ran out of the room.

Nangong You sneered and stepped on Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai suddenly hissed, and its entire body emitted a gaseous toxin.

In the blink of an eye, everyone in the room collapsed.

When Chu Xunzhen woke up again, she found that the ropes binding her body had come loose.

She suddenly broke free.

She glanced at Nangong You and Chen Lianxin, who were unconscious in the side room, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Kill them first, then say it was the work of thieves.

The thought that Chen Lianxin, a disciple of the Heavenly Sect, had become Nangong You's henchman and helped him remove her natal Gu worm made her want to kill her as soon as possible.

Chu Xunzhen summons Xiaobai.

The half-dead little white dog suddenly rushed in from outside the room and bit Chen Lianxin.

Chen Lianxin was instantly poisoned.

"Chen Lianxin, aren't you very proud of your status as a disciple of the Heavenly Sect? My Gu worm won't harm your body, but it will absorb your memories, and soon you will lose all your memories."

Chu Xunzhen suddenly looked at Nangong You and walked up to him.

She glanced at Nangong You, who had placed a Gu worm inside his pants.

Chu Xunzhen sneered: "Nangong You, I was going to let you off the hook before, but since you still dare to covet me, you can forget about using that thing of yours in the future."

Chu Xunzhen planted five Gu worms on Nangong You's body.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Gu Changfeng, who was dressed in a gray robe.

"Zhenzhen, you were really captured by the Prince?" Gu Changfeng asked, her face full of worry, grabbing his arm. "Quick! Come with me!"

Chu Xunzhen frowned and shook off his hand.

Just then, a delicate fragrance wafted to their noses.

Chu Xunzhen's expression changed, and he instantly covered his mouth and nose.

Gu Changfeng's body went limp, and he sat down on a stool next to him, slumping over the table.

Chu Wanrou walked in.

"Brother Changfeng, you've really disappointed me. How could you help Chu Xunzhen escape?"

Gu Changfeng stared intently at Chu Wanrou and said, "Rou'er, didn't you always say you were sorry to Chu Xunzhen? You've occupied her position for so many years, and you wish you could give it back to her? Now that you're married to me, can you please let her leave, considering how much you owe her?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanrou laughed: "Brother Changfeng, Rou'er thought you had truly come to know Rou'er's character. How could you say such naive things?"

"Brother Changfeng, do you know how much pain I've suffered because of you and Chen Lianxin? I've found out everything. It turns out you originally wanted Chu Xunzhen that day. Since you like her so much, then just watch her be defiled by the Third Prince."

Chu Wanrou took out a porcelain bottle from her waist, first went into the side room to feed Nangong You, and then she went to Chu Xunzhen.

"roll!"

Chu Xunzhen snorted coldly, clenching her teeth.

Chu Wanrou, however, grabbed her chin and forced the medicine down her throat.

She shook her head violently, but the medicine still went down her throat.

"Chu Xunzhen, your natal Gu worm is with me! By the way, I'm not Nangong You, I won't give you a chance to escape."

As she spoke, Chu Wanrou instantly crushed Xiaobai to death.

With a bang! Chu Wanrou's hands were covered in green blood.

Chu Xunzhen coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Seeing that Nangong You was about to wake up, she suddenly stepped out of the room and pulled Gu Changfeng away.

"Rou'er! You mustn't do this!"

Gu Changfeng's expression changed drastically, and he roared.

Chu Xun was truly his wife in his past life, how could she be defiled by the Third Prince?

Chu Wanrou was both angry and furious. Even now, Changfeng's mind was filled with thoughts of Chu Xunzhen.

Inside the side room.

Chu Xunzhen suddenly woke up. However, the next moment, she realized that the person behind her was like a furnace, embracing her.
