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

Chapter 135

"Hmph, Wan Jiaojiao is the same, speaking up for Yun Xiyue." Mentioning Wan Jiaojiao made her furious.

Madam Zhou's eyes darkened slightly. "Don't take her seriously. If it weren't for Lord Wan being your brother's superior, I wouldn't have let your brother marry Wan Jiaojiao."

"It's not too late to deal with her after she comes in."

"Madam, news has arrived from the palace that the Emperor has summoned Miss Yun."

Zhou Zhilan's expression changed slightly, and she felt a strange sense of impending doom.

"What does the Emperor want with her?"

In the palace.

Yun Xiyue was confused. Why did the Emperor suddenly summon her?

"No need for formalities, please rise and sit down!"

Upon arriving at the Zichen Palace, Murong Yu spoke as soon as he entered.

This is not the imperial study, but the emperor's bedroom.

It wasn't her first time here, but Yun Xiyue was still so nervous that her palms were sweating. "Does Your Majesty have any instructions for summoning me?"

"I heard you have a close relationship with the legendary healer, Ghost Hand?" Murong Yu sat at his desk, glanced at her, and then continued writing on his desk.

Yun Xiyue was taken aback. "My father has some connections with the divine doctor."

"how about you?"

He had investigated; the legendary doctor, Ghost Hand, had lived with the Yun family for several years.

No one knew the master-disciple relationship between Yun Xiyue and Ghost Hand. "Is the Emperor asking this because he wants to buy the Scarless Cream?"

The man chuckled softly, "Don't interrupt, I'm asking you a question."

“Miss Yun, you must answer whatever the Emperor asks. You must not question the Emperor in return, as that would be extremely disrespectful,” Eunuch Fu quickly reminded her.

The Emperor was already quite angry with her that time in the study of the Prince of Qin's residence.

Apart from Yun Xiyue, he had never seen anyone dare to speak to the emperor like that. Even court officials dared not breathe loudly in front of the emperor, saying they had to think it over carefully before daring to speak.

Yunxi Yue is really good at repeatedly pulling the tiger's hair out.

It's just audacious.

“The miracle doctor treated my injuries at my house and stayed there for a while, so I naturally know him.”

"You could say they're like family," Yun Xiyue said, pouting dejectedly.

family?

Murong Yu paused in his writing. "Did he concoct the Soul Incense?"

Facing the man's sharp eyes, Yun Xiyue felt a pang of panic and nodded. "What's wrong? Did something happen to the Empress Dowager after using the Soul Incense?"

Murong Yu's lips curled slightly, "When have you ever seen the Divine Doctor and the Ghost Hand?"

"I haven't seen him for the past few years. Father sent someone to find him a little over a month before he came to the capital, but we haven't been in contact since."

Murong Yu put down his brush, stood up, and gestured for someone to bring out a table of imperial food.

"Dine with me."

Yunxi Yue glanced at Eunuch Fu.

Grandpa Fu told her to hurry up and serve him.

Yun Xiyue took the chopsticks handed to her by the palace maid and stepped forward to serve the man food.

"I asked you to sit down and dine with me, not to serve me." Murong Yu frowned slightly and glared at Eunuch Fu with displeasure.

Eunuch Fu secretly slapped himself in the face and quickly sent a palace maid over to take over her job of serving the dishes.

Yun Xiyue did not sit down, saying, "That's against the rules."

"I am the rule." Murong Yu raised his hand and pulled her to his side.

Suddenly, Yun Xiyue lost her balance and fell to the ground, her hand accidentally landing on his thigh...
