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

Chapter 267

The assassination attempt on Yun Xiyue turned into an assassination attempt on the Emperor.

Therefore, both the prince consort and the princess were punished, and no one dared to mention the matter of Yunxi Yue's banquet.

It seems that Murong Yu secretly issued a gag order, and Yun Xiyue was not involved.

"The Emperor has not yet made a decision on the punishment for the imperial son-in-law."

"The eldest princess was kneeling at the entrance of the imperial study."

When Murong Yu returned from court, he saw her.

She gestured for someone to help her in.

"Your Highness, why plead for a man like that? What's the point of keeping him around? As a princess, you could have any man you wanted, why did you have to choose this rotten goose!"

The princess's eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Your Majesty, you wouldn't understand unless you've loved someone. I love him..."

"Please don't hurt him. I don't care if he's with that woman, as long as he's my son-in-law, that's enough."

Murong Yu was furious. "You... are beyond redemption."

"Yes, I am beyond redemption. As the eldest princess of the Great Wei, I have disgraced the Murong family and am not worthy of the title of eldest princess. I beg Your Majesty to strip me of my title of eldest princess. I am willing to go to my fiefdom and leave the capital with my consort. I will never return." The eldest princess knelt on the ground and did not get up.

Murong Yu closed his eyes briefly, and said with a hint of helplessness, "I grant you permission to go to your fiefdom. The fact that my elder sister is the Grand Princess of Great Wei will never change."

The eldest princess, with tears streaming down her face, said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

"Send the princess back, and summon the prince consort to the palace."

The eldest princess immediately became anxious, "Your Majesty, you promised you wouldn't harm him..."

Murong Yu angrily said, "He trampled on the feelings of my royal princess, how can I let him off like this? Don't worry, I will not let him die. If you can't bear to discipline him, I will do it for you."

The eldest princess was startled.

People around her quickly came over and helped her away.

Granny Hui said, "Princess, the Emperor has stepped in to teach the驸马 (the驸马) a lesson. You shouldn't stop him. He's gone too far this time. If you continue to protect him, he'll only become more disrespectful to you."

The eldest princess cried without saying a word.

Liu Muyuan should never have gotten involved with Xu Lan.

Those were members of the Pei family. When the Empress Dowager found out, she was furious and wanted to execute Xu Lan and punish the entire Xu family, who had already been demoted and exiled.

The Liu family is likely to be the next to suffer.

As for the Liu family, the Emperor has not yet made any moves against them.

They simply ordered someone to escort Liu Muyuan into the palace.

The man's body was covered in whip marks, and his white clothes were stained with blood.

This man was naturally quite handsome; his face was indeed good-looking.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was deathly pale, and he seemed inexplicably broken.

If the eldest princess saw this, she would be heartbroken.

But Murong Yu felt no pity whatsoever; he only wanted to kill him. "Once we reach the fiefdom, if you dare to upset my elder sister again, I will not spare you, the Liu family, the Xu family, and Xu Lan."

What the Liu and Xu families are like, perhaps Liu Muyuan doesn't care.

Xu Lan could be mentioned...

He finally reacted, "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I beg Your Majesty to forgive Lan'er. I forced her."

Murong Yu scoffed, "So you're saying you're truly sincere towards Xu Lan?"

Liu Muyuan's face showed pain.

He and Xu Lan grew up together and were deeply in love, but their relationship was abruptly severed by the Eldest Princess. He felt only hatred for her in his heart...

"If you really loved her that much, then why did you marry your elder sister in the first place? You should act like a man, refuse to marry into the princess's household, and swear to protect your beloved to the death." Murong Yu sneered, seeing his defiance.

"Hmph, your hatred is utterly inexplicable. I did not agree to your marriage in the first place. It was my elder sister who insisted, but it was also your Liu family who were willing to make the marriage happen."

"If you are not willing, this marriage cannot take place."

After all, he disagreed, and as long as he refused, he would have a reason to stop the princess.

But Liu Muyuan never said a word of dissent from beginning to end.

"It's because your Liu family wanted this marriage to solidify their family interests that they put you in this marriage alliance. It wasn't our Murong family that destroyed your beautiful marriage. You should hate the Liu family, not the eldest princess."

"You say you love Xu Lan, but she is living a life worse than death because of you. Your revenge will not only hurt your elder sister, but also the woman you love most."

Upon hearing this, Liu Muyuan's eyes revealed even more pain, and he shed tears of regret, "It was my fault... I will never let the princess down again."
