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

Chapter 347

Murong Yu bent down, picked the person up horizontally, and carried them into the bedroom in the side room.

But it didn't continue.

Instead, he helped her put on her clothes.

"Are you scared?" Murong Yu didn't know he had lost control. When he thought that she was going to cut ties with him, he couldn't help but hold her in his arms.

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

Her eyes were both cool and gentle.

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "Doesn't His Majesty like silver notes?"

"I don't understand why you're angry..."

Murong Yu's cold eyes narrowed slightly, "Why does A-Yue want to give me silver notes?"

"I......"

Seeing that she couldn't answer.

Murong Yu raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "You think I've protected you, shielded you, and helped you, and you don't want to owe me a favor, so you want to sever ties with me. When you leave that day, you can confidently tell me that you don't owe me anything."

“You don’t see me as your fiancé, but as one of those men who covet your body and money. You think that giving me money will settle everything.”

"Ah Yue, you are plotting to leave me!"

Yun Xiyue sat on the edge of the bed, her face turning deathly pale. She gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, as if she had been caught red-handed, filled with fear and unease.

This man is too smart.

In his presence, I had nowhere to hide.

"I don't."

Murong Yu laughed and said, "If you haven't thought of it that way, then look me in the eye when you speak."

Yun Xiyue dared not, and stared down at his boots.

Waiting for his next storm.

Now that things have come to this, she has nothing to say.

After all, he was powerful and influential, and his status was at the top. Controlling her was as easy as stepping on an ant.

But Murong Yu did not punish her.

Instead, he turned and left.

She was alone in the room, unsure whether to stand or lie down.

I want to go out, but the man is outside right now.

Looking out the window, Bei Ye knew she couldn't get close to the Imperial Study; it was heavily guarded by soldiers, and she had no chance of escape.

He spent the day in a side room of the Imperial Study, and around dusk, someone brought him food.

"Greetings, Miss. His Majesty says that once you have eaten all of these, you may return." A group of pretty palace maids entered.

He left a table full of imperial food and then left.

Yun Xiyue's eyes widened. "How can I possibly finish all of this by myself?"

She realized that this was Murong Yu's punishment for her.

He wanted to stuff her until she burst.

The palace maid ignored her and quickly left.

"I want to see the Emperor."

Eunuch Fu was not there; only a young eunuch stopped her, saying, "Miss, the Emperor is not in the Imperial Study."

Yunxi Yue was furious. She turned around, sat down, grabbed a chicken leg, and took a big bite.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

Murong Yu asked a few questions and then came in.

“Ah Yue…”

Yun Xiyue had just stood up when she suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded. First, she had a nosebleed, and then she suddenly vomited blood.

"Ayue!"

Murong Yu's heart tightened, and he quickly walked to her side, "Summon the imperial physician!"

"Murong Yu...you..."

Unexpectedly, he wanted to kill her. Yun Xiyue glanced at him, tears rolling down her cheeks, and closed her eyes.

Looking at the food on the table, a sinister and ruthless glint flashed in Murong Yu's eyes. "Arrest all the people who delivered the imperial meal today."

The imperial physician was quickly brought in.

"Your Majesty, Miss Yun has been poisoned... by a deadly poison called Soul-Snatching Powder."

"We are powerless to help, so we can only try General Shen. Prince Rui was also poisoned by this kind of poison, and it was General Shen who saved his life."

Murong Yu said coldly, "Summon Shen Yue to the palace immediately."

"Your Majesty, all the palace maids have committed suicide by poison; not one of them survived," Leng Yan reported as he entered.

"The imperial kitchen checked and found nothing wrong. The poison was only added when the food was delivered to the imperial study. Eunuch Fu usually checks the food there..."

This time, neither Murong Yu nor Eunuch Fu happened to be present; the other party was deliberately avoiding them.

The purpose was to poison Yun Xiyue.
