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

Chapter 313

She even had some change with her, so she seemed to be a regular customer, even more familiar with the area than she was.

"Is it necessary to investigate public sentiment?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Of course. Does A-Yue think I can't leave the palace?"

"No, in everyone's eyes, someone of your status needs to be protected. You're too busy with state affairs to come out of the palace."

No emperor in history has ever secretly left the palace so often, especially since he had been assassinated before.

He only brought one bodyguard, plus Bei Ye, making two in total.

If something happens, she has no way to protect him.

Murong Yu chuckled softly, tossed the rabbit to the guard behind him, and then took her hand. "A-Yue still wants to protect me, huh!"

"of course."

What if something happens to him and her whole family has to be buried with him?

"Don't worry, I've arranged everything."

Someone is protecting them in the shadows.

It wouldn't matter if he were alone; he could take the opportunity to lure out those with ill intentions and eliminate them completely.

But today, she's spending time with someone to clear her head, and no one is allowed to interfere.

"What to eat?"

Yun Xiyue wasn't very hungry, but she did get a little hungry after walking for a while.

"Have a bowl of boiled dumplings!"

Murong Yu led her to a street stall. The stall owners were an elderly couple who looked very loving and were around sixty years old.

"Grandma, give me two bowls of boiled dumplings."

The old woman looked up at him and smiled, "Little Yu! It's been so long since you've come."

"He even brought his wife," the old man said with a smile.

Yun Xiyue looked at Murong Yu.

He chatted and laughed with the elderly couple naturally, his former imperial majesty gone, and his tone gentler, "We're not married yet, but we'll invite you to our wedding feast when we do."

"Great! Great! Then you'd better work harder and get married soon," the two laughed.

Yun Xiyue looked at the dumplings in the bowl. "You know them?"

"Yes. I used to come here often. The taste has never changed over the years. You should try it too."

Yun Xiyue realized that she really didn't understand him at all.

The dumplings were delicious, and the taste was great.

After they finished eating, the two paid and left.

The old woman wouldn't charge him more money.

They refused the silver, only wanting copper coins.

"what happened?"

Yun Xiyue kept staring at him. "I thought the Emperor was an otherworldly being, an unapproachable figure. But it seems you are quite different."

"Sometimes I need to relax. I can't do whatever I want in the palace. I'm only human."

That is to say, this is his way of relieving stress.

"Are you feeling better?" Murong Yu asked as he escorted her back.

Yun Xiyue nodded, suddenly feeling a bit willful.

"Your Majesty... I'm sorry, I won't be so willful in the future."

"You can be willful in front of me. If you need anything, just come to me." Murong Yu was in a good mood and reached out to pat her head. "Today, A-Yue was very well-behaved."

His handsome face loomed large in her eyes, and in the instant Yun Xiyue was taken aback, her lips were captured in a kiss.

"sleep early!"

Yun Xiyue touched her face and found it was very hot.

How can I let her sleep now?

Lying in bed, I couldn't calm down. When I closed my eyes, all I could see was Murong Yu's face. When I opened my eyes, my heart was pounding like a drum. I simply couldn't fall asleep.

Not knowing what was going on, Yun Xiyue wondered if she was sick.

I woke up the next day with dark circles under my eyes.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Qingmei asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

Qingmei said, "It's all the young mistress's fault. Don't take what she said to heart. I think she's just jealous of you. The eldest young master has always spoiled you since you were little. He doesn't spoil her anymore, so she's acting crazy because she's unhappy."

Yun Xiyue had a headache. Instead of finding a way to make her older brother like her, Xiao Ling'er fought with him. How could her older brother be gentle with her like this?

He would cause trouble for her when he was unhappy with his own life.

That's enough!
