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

Chapter 285

"emperor......"

Yun Xiyue's face turned pale and then red, and she nervously clutched his robe.

The man ignored her, carried her to the bed, covered her with the blanket, and said, "Get some rest!"

It turns out he didn't mean to force her.

Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a sense of emptiness.

Did he come just to see her?

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

Murong Yu sat on the edge of the bed and smiled, "Concerned about me?"

"His Majesty has been so kind to me, so of course I know how to repay his kindness," Yun Xiyue said, clutching the edge of the quilt and lowering her eyes.

"If there's anything I can do for you, just let me know."

Murong Yu thought to himself, "Even if I asked you to enter the palace and become my empress, you wouldn't want to!"

He ultimately didn't say it.

Get up and leave.

The air around her was filled with the scent of ambergris, which kept her awake. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the man's smile as he left.

"Miss, it's dawn. Are you up?"

Yunxiyue sat up, feeling a splitting headache and pain in her eyes. Not sleeping well was really exhausting.

Not long after I got up, a servant announced that the Princess Consort of Qin had arrived.

Xiao Rongrong came in, looking somewhat flustered. "Xiyue, my elder brother was punished with twenty lashes by the Emperor this morning."

"What... what's going on?" Yun Xiyue was completely bewildered; asking her about this was useless!

"I don't know. They say it's because we angered the Emperor." Upon hearing this, Xiao Rongrong immediately realized that the Emperor knew about the Xiao family's marriage proposal to the Yun family.

"Don't rush. Sit down and talk slowly."

Yun Xiyue took a sip of tea to clear her head and helped her sit down.

"General Xiao must have already left the palace by now!"

Xiao Rongrong nodded. "He's back, but he's injured."

"I haven't gone back yet. I guess it's because the Emperor found out about my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law's marriage proposal to your family."

Yun Xiyue said, "He doesn't know."

Xiao Rongrong was surprised, "How did you know? The Emperor didn't know?"

this......

If he knew, he would have asked her last night.

Yun Xiyue paused for a moment and said, "Because His Majesty has been very busy lately, he has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters."

"I have no relation to the Emperor."

Xiao Rongrong looked at her, "But you..."

Yun Xiyue quickly interrupted her, "That was an accident, Sister Xiao, don't think too much about it. To the Emperor, I am just a subject to him. Now I am slowly taking over the family's affairs. In the future, I will manage the Yun family's business, as well as the affairs of the Imperial Merchants."

"Therefore, it's inevitable that he'll have some interactions with the Emperor."

Xiao Rongrong did not believe that the Emperor had no feelings for her, but that he was just too proud to approach the palace because of her status. However, this matter could not be spread.

Otherwise, the emperor would be seen as having a taste for other men's wives, which would be a devastating blow to his reputation.

"Xi Yue, you have such a hard life." Xiao Rongrong felt sorry for her.

She can't get married after this.

How will she live the rest of her life?

Yun Xiyue simply didn't want to get married, but she didn't tell her.

Xiao Rongrong sat for a while and then went to the Xiao family.

She came here hoping that if the Emperor was angry with the Xiao family because of the marriage proposal, she could intercede on their behalf.

Yun Xiyue agreed.

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

But things just couldn't be contained. Master Xiao went to the palace to practice his spear skills with the emperor, and as a result, he intended to ask for a marriage decree for his son.

I chose Yunxiyue.

How could the emperor not be furious?

"Brother, are you out of your mind?! Why did you ask the Emperor to grant Xiyue and Quan'er a marriage? Are you crazy?!" Xiao Rongrong scolded him angrily after learning the truth.
