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

Chapter 1007

No one spoke again; they could only wait quietly outside.

About an hour later.

Ghost Hand emerged and said, “Her life has been saved, but she is still in great danger. We can’t let her be agitated again. Also, she has a mental illness, and only Leng Yan can cure her.”

Chu Xinyi's heart was burdened with too many unresolved issues and worries, which caused her heart and lungs to break.

Leng Yan couldn't wait to go in and see his wife.

Murong Yu followed along.

"Ayue."

Yun Xiyue wiped the sweat from her forehead. "I'm fine. My master did all the acupuncture for me."

"Okay, sit down and rest first." Murong Yu picked her up and carried her into the palace, genuinely worried about her.

Because she's about to give birth.

If anything happens, Murong Yu won't know who to blame.

"Don't worry, I'm doing quite well lately. And the baby isn't due for another month."

Yun Xiyue wrapped her arms around his neck. "By the way, how's the investigation going?"

......

Next door were Leng Yan and Chu Xinyi.

"Xinyi." Leng Yan sat on the edge of the bed and held her hand. "I'm sorry, don't overthink it. There's no possibility between Pei Fang and me. Even without you, I wouldn't marry her."

He knew the knot in her heart.

I understand what she's worried about.

But it was still overlooked.

Knowing how much she had sacrificed to give birth to this child, Leng Yan felt truly heartbroken and afraid that she would pass away.

"Husband, I..."

Chu Xinyi was stunned when she heard him say that.

She thought he was more worried about Pei Fang.

I love her even more.

“It was my fault. When Pei Fang fell into the water, I took her back to the mansion first because I didn’t want the Pei family to pursue the matter. Don’t worry, I won’t let her get close to you again.”

Tears streamed down Chu Xinyi's face. "I pushed her..."

"If you pushed her, you pushed her. If you pushed her, it must be because she did something to upset you."

Leng Yan said, "Don't overthink it. When I married you, I had already let go of her. If I hadn't let go, I wouldn't have married anyone."

Chu Xinyi's brows relaxed. "But... I don't have much time left."

She didn't want to keep it a secret any longer.

Whether what he said was true or not, she was happy at this moment, wanting him to be with her in her final moments.

"You will be alright. The divine physician and the Empress have worked together to figure out how to save you."

Even if it can't be cured, it should be enough to keep her alive for seven or eight years.

If she maintains a good mood, she can live longer.

"Don't be afraid."

Chu Xinyi nodded.

She was in poor health, so Yun Xiyue asked her to stay in the palace to rest for a few more days. This way, Leng Yan would have time to visit her during his rest breaks, and Leng Yan could also come when Murong Yu came to Jiaofang Palace to see Yun Xiyue.

Children were also brought into the palace.

Chu Xinyi felt like she was dreaming.

"Wouldn't that be overstepping my bounds?"

Leng Yan, holding her son, smiled and said, "The Emperor and the Empress are both kind and benevolent people. This is their favor to our family."

"His Majesty said that when Sheng'er grows up, she can enter the palace to be a prince's study companion."

In that case, his wish to follow the emperor for the rest of his life could be fulfilled.

"May I enter the palace? I would like to do something for Her Majesty the Empress."

Leng Yan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it when you're feeling better. Her Majesty needs to prepare for childbirth now."

Chu Xinyi nodded. With the help of Ghost Hand and Yun Qingli in the palace, her complexion had improved a lot.

However, an uninvited guest arrived that day.
