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

Chapter 125

Yun Xiyue took out a small brocade box and handed it to him, saying, "This is a gift from your humble servant to Your Majesty. It is a small token of my sincerity, and I hope Your Majesty will like it."

Murong Yu opened it and took it out, "Dragon's Incense?"

"Ah."

"you made it yourself?"

Yun Xiyue nodded. "I've been learning perfumery lately."

The exquisite jade ball is a rare and precious item.

Fragrant balls are also good.

Murong Yu held it in his palm and played with it for a while, then said, "Then put it on me."

Yun Xiyue paused for a moment, then got up and walked to his side, tying the exquisite jade ball around his waist.

The two were so close they could feel each other's breath.

Murong Yu was much taller than her, and standing in front of him, she appeared rather petite.

"Why did you suddenly decide to send me a gift?"

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on her fair neck, recalling the erotic scene not long ago when she threw herself into his arms and their breaths mingled.

After that, he couldn't resist sneaking into her boudoir and taking her again... Thinking back, Murong Yu felt a little annoyed; this wasn't like him.

Just a woman.

Surely you wouldn't get addicted after just two nights!

But she is indeed very alluring.

When a familiar arm wrapped around her waist, Yun Xiyue's heart pounded. "Because the Emperor... has helped me a lot."

"What kind of favor? Was it at Funing Palace? I remember Miss Yun gave me payment." Murong Yu chuckled, holding her without doing anything, but he didn't let go of her, holding her waist in his arms.

Yun Xiyue was so nervous that her palms were sweating. "That's not considered a reward. The money was donated to the imperial court, not to the emperor."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty is wise and mighty. I believe Your Majesty is a wise and virtuous ruler who is rare in a thousand years. From now on, my family and I will be loyal to Your Majesty and will not hesitate to die for you."

Murong Yu lowered his eyes to look at her fair face, tightened his grip on her arm, and felt as if her soft body was about to merge into his.

"Why are you being so sweet-talking today? Do you need something from me?"

Yun Xiyue bit her lip lightly, a layer of mist appearing in her eyes, "There is something I would like to ask Your Majesty for help with."

"Oh?"

The man's smile grew even brighter as he pinched her chin. "What is it?"

Yun Xiyue's body trembled slightly. "The Empress Dowager might bestow a marriage upon my elder brother, whoever it may be, but I don't want it to be a daughter of the Shen or Zhou families. If possible, I want my elder brother to decide his own marriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly released her, and the kiss that was about to land on her lips stopped.

"Your Majesty?" Yun Xiyue looked at the man with some surprise and doubt.

He has always been domineering, and once he decides to do something, he won't stop.

She hadn't expected to meet Prince Qin so easily during her visit to the Prince's residence.

She didn't want to miss her only chance...

"You're going to offer yourself to me for another man?" Murong Yu chuckled, but it sent a chill down one's spine.

"Is he very important to you?"

Yun Xiyue was taken aback. She didn't want to offer herself to him; she just wanted to curry favor with him.

Thinking of how her sworn brother died because of her in her previous life, she didn't want him to be used by others or get into trouble in this new life.

He is not married now, and Shen Yue has made a harsh statement about dealing with them. Previously, the Shen family intended to marry their daughter to the Yun family, and the Shen family would not easily give up the Yun family's property.

She worried that the Shen family would collude with the Zhou family to use the Empress Dowager's decree for marriage, leaving the Yun family with no way to defy the imperial decree.

"Ah."

Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "I remember you two are not blood siblings."

So what if they're not blood-related siblings?

Yun Xiyue found his question absurd and realized she had come to the wrong person for help. "Why did the Emperor support the Yun family as imperial merchants?"

"Isn't this what you truly desire? You were the one who begged me for the imperial merchant position."

He's angry...

Yun Xiyue was confused. She thought that serving the emperor was like walking on thin ice, so she knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. This humble woman... did not mean to offend you."
