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

Chapter 334

"Miss Qi, you've dropped your banknotes."

I didn't expect it to be Shen Yue.

He picked up the banknotes and handed them to her, saying, "Pick them all up and take them with you. Don't dirty the gate of the Shen family."

Qi Yumin felt uncomfortable under his cold gaze.

I instinctively stepped back.

"What...what are you going to do? If you touch me! My...my cousin won't let you get away with this. My cousin is Young Master Pei."

Shen Yue ignored her and coldly turned around to return the silver notes that his family had picked up to her.

Li, who was behind him, was cursing and swearing, but she was too scared to say a word because of her son's eyes.

"Miss, let's go back!" The maid grabbed Qi Yumin and ran off quickly.

The banknotes were not retrieved.

......

"Miss, I heard that Prince Rui has woken up. It was Shen Yue who saved him."

Yun Xiyue slammed down her teacup. "He's gotten close to Prince Rui!"

"Yes, Prince Rui may not have been poisoned at all, or he may have the antidote."

"After Shen Yue visited Prince Rui's residence, Prince Rui woke up. It is said that Shen Yue gave him a medicine that could bring the dead back to life."

"They say she is the princess of the Southern Qiang."

“Prince Rui woke up and was very grateful to him. Now he is going to the palace to ask for credit for the Shen family.”

Yun Xiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, "So what's the result now?"

"The Empress Dowager intends to bestow a reward upon the Shen family."

The Empress Dowager is now going against the Emperor.

Prince Rui used this as a prelude, saying that Shen Yue had saved him.

There was a royal physician to testify to this.

The Empress Dowager insisted on restoring the Shen family's marquisate.

Murong Yu naturally disagreed, but surprisingly, the entire court of officials began to oppose him.

Yunxi Yue was somewhat worried.

"Hasn't the imperial court always been controlled by the emperor?"

Why were they all suddenly stirred up by the Empress Dowager?

Bei Ye shook his head; he didn't know either.

After all, they paid very little attention to matters of the imperial court.

Yun Xiyue wanted to go to the palace to see Murong Yu, but she was afraid of causing him trouble at this time.

We can only wait and see.

after a few days.

As it turned out, the Shen family did not have their titles restored.

However, Shen Yue was reinstated and allowed to return to the military camp. He was also granted a mansion, all at the request of Prince Rui.

The Empress Dowager's intentions behind the scenes.

The entire court, including the Prime Minister Pei, believed that Shen Yue deserved this reward.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yue saved me. He did make mistakes in the past, but they were all due to momentary confusion, because of the women in the inner quarters!"

“He still has the ability and talent. Your Majesty, I hope you will give him a chance to reform himself.”

Prince Rui stood up and made the suggestion.

Then a large number of people stood up and seconded the motion.

Prime Minister Pei also said, "Now that Prince Rui is alright, the assassination attempt can be put aside for the time being. If Your Highness does not pursue the matter, then Fuyun Tower can be unsealed."

The implication was that the Yun family was being used to threaten Murong Yu.

Prince Rui laughed and said, "The assassination attempt I had while dining at Fuyunlou was indeed unrelated to Fuyunlou, so the ban can be lifted."

Murong Yu coldly swept his gaze over the officials who had stepped forward, signaling them to secretly make a note of each of them.

"Okay, all ready!"

"If there's nothing else, let's adjourn the court session!"

The emperor remained calm and did not lose his temper.

Their journey went surprisingly smoothly.

Unpredictable.

Prime Minister Pei frowned slightly and, after court, summoned his son to discuss the matter, asking, "What do you think is wrong with the Emperor?"

“Father is the one, so why should he disobey the Emperor?” Pei Shang asked.

Prime Minister Pei glanced at him, lifted his official robe, and sat down. "Naturally, it is the Empress Dowager's will."

"The Qi family, the Liu family, and even the Han family are actually all people of the Empress Dowager. If the Emperor wants to take action against them, do you think the Empress Dowager will allow it?"
