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

Chapter 155

"It was I who overstepped my bounds. Perhaps His Majesty is discerning and will not have any designs on Lady Yun. Besides, she also said that she did not dine with His Majesty in the Zichen Palace."

"It is clear that the Emperor has no romantic feelings for her, so the Empress Dowager need not worry anymore."

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly, and she immediately changed her mind. If she had no other intentions, why would she want to see Yun Xiyue in the Zichen Palace?

That's the emperor's bedroom.

"We can't just listen to her side of the story; I need to find out the truth."

"Regardless of whether the Emperor has any intentions, I absolutely will not allow Yun Xiyue to enter the palace as a concubine," the Empress Dowager said sternly.

......

Royal Garden.

"Miss Yun, His Majesty is by the lotus pond. Please come over," a eunuch said, bowing.

Yun Xiyue inwardly groaned, "Is the Emperor with the Imperial Concubine?"

The young eunuch shook his head. "Only the Emperor."

Only Murong Yu.

Yun Xiyue didn't want to go. "What does the Emperor want with me?"

"This servant doesn't know." The little eunuch was just a messenger, and he knew nothing when asked.

Yunxiyue had no choice but to follow them to the lotus pond.

In the pavilion, Murong Yu was throwing fish bait into the lotus pond. His slender, jade-like fingers were particularly pleasing to the eye in the sunlight, making people unable to help but take a second look.

I can't help but admire how beautiful those hands are.

"I hope Mother didn't make things difficult for you!" Upon seeing her, Murong Yu threw down the bait and took the handkerchief handed to him by a palace maid to wipe his hands.

Yun Xiyue subconsciously pursed her lips. "No."

Judging from her appearance, you can tell she's been wronged.

Murong Yu smiled and said, "Madam Zhou and the Empress Dowager are close friends. If Madam Zhou asks, the Empress Dowager will find it difficult to refuse."

"You've really made a huge fuss this time."

He plotted to disfigure Zhou Zhilan.

Do you think you can get away unscathed?

The Zhou family is not like the Shen family, those idiots.

Yun Xiyue was indignant. "The Emperor is going to protect her? It was clearly her who used Shen Ling to scheme against me first."

"I was just retaliating in kind. Besides, who knew Shen Ling would be so crazy and so ruthless? I didn't disfigure her, it has nothing to do with me, so why is everyone coming after me?"

"You're just bullying us."

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but reach out and put his arm around her waist. "If I protect her, will A-Yue be unhappy?"

"emperor......"

Yun Xiyue was immediately alarmed and, forgetting her anger, hurriedly struggled to get away from him.

The man's smile froze the next moment, his eyes gradually darkening with displeasure. "What are you hiding from?"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger..."

Murong Yu scoffed, "You won't let me touch you anymore?"

"Didn't we agree to give you ten million taels...?"

Should we just consider it a buyout of what happened that night?

Yun Xiyue felt that since she had paid for it, and besides, he hadn't suffered any loss that night.

Murong Yu's eyes darkened instantly. How dare she bring this up?

"come over."

His eyes were sharp, and his tone left no room for her to refuse.

The palace servants around them consciously moved three meters away.

The entire Imperial Garden has been cleared out; no one is allowed to enter.
