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

Chapter 349

She knew it wouldn't be easy.

Looking up, he saw someone kneeling outside. "If Your Majesty has something to attend to, please go ahead and do it."

"It's nothing, it's General Shen."

"I thought he had an antidote, but it turned out to be useless."

Murong Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. "General Shen, you may return!"

Shen Yue stood up. "I would like to have a private chat with Miss Yun."

“Ah Yue is still weak. General Shen, if you have anything to say, you can speak to me, and I will convey it for you.” Murong Yu lifted the gauze curtain and came out.

Shen Yue's face was very pale; his entire face was green.

"Yue'er doesn't want to stay in the palace, yet Your Majesty is forcing her like this. Has he not considered her situation?"

“You are in the palace, you are the emperor, doing this will not affect you. Those people will only criticize Yue’er.”

"Your Majesty, I beg you to spare Yue'er's life!"

Murong Yu turned around, "A-Yue... General Shen insulted me, do you also think so?"

Yun Xiyue put on her cloak and walked out. "Shen Yue, I broke off all ties with you a long time ago. Don't meddle in my affairs."

"Moon, listen to me." Shen Yue said urgently.

"Enough! No more cursing the Emperor."

“You’re not even worthy to carry the Emperor’s shoes. What right do you have to criticize him? The Emperor is merciful and didn’t cut off your head. If it were me, I would have torn you to pieces long ago.”

Murong Yu stood behind her, raising an eyebrow at the man who was half-dead with anger, and said with a smirk, "A-Yue's body is still weak! General Shen, don't provoke her, or the poison may take effect."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue dared not argue back anymore, and could only leave in anger.

Yun Xiyue turned around and said, "Don't let him come again. I don't want to see this kind of person; he's an eyesore."

"Hmm, there's no need to get angry over someone like that. I'll help you back," Murong Yu said with a smile.

Yun Xiyue's face turned pale. "Did I really get poisoned by the Soul-Stealing Powder?"

"That's what the imperial physician said." Murong Yu quickly carried her back to the bed and laid her down.

"I just took the antidote."

"When I heard that Prince Rui had been poisoned by the Soul-Snatching Powder, I prepared an antidote, but now I feel that it has not cured the poison!"

Murong Yu quickly took her pulse and then summoned the imperial physician to confirm.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the antidote."

"But the poison in the young lady's body has not been cured, which means that she has been poisoned not only by the Soul-Stealing Powder, but also by other poisons."

"We, your humble servants, are unable to diagnose it at the moment," the imperial physicians said, bowing respectfully.

Murong Yu remained calm, but did not lose his temper with the imperial physicians. He simply said, "Go back and think about it carefully. Make sure you come up with a way to detoxify. If you encounter any difficulties, tell me."

"Yes, Your Majesty, we obey." The imperial physicians quickly left.

"Ah Yue, it was my carelessness."

Murong Yu felt deeply guilty. "I thought you were safe in the Imperial Study. I never imagined they would be so ruthless."

He was summoned away by the Empress Dowager.

News arrived that the Empress Dowager had suddenly fallen seriously ill, and Prince Rui was also at Funing Palace.

"I ordered someone to prepare a royal meal for you, as I was planning to come back and keep you company. Who knew they would poison you?"

Yun Xiyue looked at him and asked, "Does Your Majesty's food usually have to be inspected by many people?"

"Ah."

Murong Yu sat down beside her. "The palace is indeed not safe. No wonder you don't want to go there."

At that moment, Yun Xiyue sensed the loneliness emanating from his heart.

He'll have to get busy soon.

She left a nanny to take care of her, but her personal attendants were still Qingmei and Beiye.

"Granny Chen, is His Majesty frequently poisoned?"

Granny Chen was a nanny who had served Murong Yu for a long time and was also his wet nurse. She was fair-skinned and gentle, and about the same age as the Empress Dowager.

“His Majesty has been walking on the edge of life and death since childhood. Poisoning is just a minor incident. He would find poison in his food almost every few days. No matter how careful he was, he couldn’t avoid it.”
