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

Chapter 136

"What are you doing?" Murong Yu's expression changed slightly, and he dared not move.

Yun Xiyue looked up at him, her face instantly turning red. She quickly withdrew her hand, "I...I didn't mean to...it was all an accident."

All the palace servants in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to look any longer.

Murong Yu closed his eyes and reached out to help her up. "You always have so many excuses for taking advantage of me."

"..."

Yunxi Yue felt so ashamed that she wanted to disappear into the ground, her head bowed low.

"The Empress Dowager needs the Divine Soul Incense, and I need ten boxes." After the meal, Murong Yu revealed the purpose of his summons.

Yun Xiyue was somewhat troubled. "Your Majesty, the Divine Soul Incense can only be obtained by purchasing it from the Divine Physician, and I don't have that much left in my stock."

Murong Yu chuckled, "You know the crime of deceiving the emperor, don't you?"

Yun Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he already knew that she and the divine doctor were master and apprentice?

"Your Majesty... what do you mean? I don't understand. There aren't that many Divine Soul Incense. I haven't deceived Your Majesty, so how can I be guilty of deceiving Your Majesty?"

"What do you say?"

Murong Yu stood up and took two steps forward, instantly enveloping her in his arms.

"..." Yun Xiyue wanted to step back but found a daybed behind her.

"Is there a problem with ten boxes of Divine Soul Incense?" the man chuckled softly.

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "No problem, but I can't come up with it right now."

"I'll give you two weeks."

When Yun Xiyue left the Zichen Palace, he felt his legs were a little weak. He already knew that the Divine Soul Incense was his own creation, which meant he had sent people to investigate her background.

"Miss." Qingmei came over to help her up.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "It's nothing. The Emperor came to me because he wanted the Divine Soul Incense."

The two left together and walked into the Imperial Garden.

"How dare you! You don't even bow to the Imperial Concubine! Which palace's servants are you from?!" A furious voice rang out at that moment.

Qingmei said, "We are not servants of the palace. This is the eldest daughter of our Yun family."

"Hmph, you audacious dog, you still won't admit it." A cold glint flashed in the palace maid's eyes as she raised her hand to slap Qingmei across the face.

"Xia Liu, stop!"

The other person immediately stopped and respectfully bowed to the woman walking behind him, saying, "Your Majesty, we have encountered a dog servant with eyes."

Consort Pei walked over surrounded by people, dressed in gorgeous clothes, adorned with jewels from head to toe, exuding a captivating charm.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Yun Xiyue stepped forward and bowed.

Consort Pei, however, did not let her rise. Her red lips curled up, and her charming laughter carried a hint of disdain. "You are Yun Xiyue?"

Yun Xiyue remained in a bowing posture, somewhat tired. "Your Highness, this humble woman is indeed Yun Xiyue. I did not mean to offend Your Highness just now. I was unaware that Your Highness was in the Imperial Garden and disturbed Your Highness's enjoyment. I beg Your Highness's forgiveness."

"What are you doing in the palace? Who allowed you to enter?" Consort Pei raised her chin slightly.

I knew all along that it was the Emperor who had summoned me.

They waited patiently here for the rabbit to run into their trap.

But that's what you asked.

Yun Xiyue frowned slightly. "Your Highness, it is His Majesty who summoned me."

"What does the Emperor want with you?"

Consort Pei walked over and stared down at her.

"To inquire about some important matters."
