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

Chapter 354

"If I cannot marry the Emperor, then I will never marry anyone else in this life." Yun Xiyue glanced at him quickly before hiding under the covers.

Murong Yu froze, then his eyes lit up with wild joy, and he rushed over, crying, "A-Yue..."

"I'm going to sleep," Yun Xiyue said, somewhat embarrassed.

"I'll stay and keep you company." Murong Yu took off his shoes, socks, and clothes and squeezed into her bed.

Yun Xiyue said with disdain, "It's a bit crowded. You should go back! Don't you have to go to court tomorrow morning?"

“We’re not going back tonight.” Murong Yu was genuinely happy and turned to hug her. “A-Yue, let’s think of a solution together.”

Yun Xiyue said, "Actually, this is quite good. The Emperor no longer needs to go to the trouble of letting me enter the palace."

"What's so good about it? I can only see you secretly at night, and I don't want you to suffer any injustice."

I want to marry you properly.

That way, outsiders won't gossip.

She said she didn't care, and he could also not care if others said he stole someone else's wife, but if he heard too much gossip, he would eventually start to care, and it would hurt his feelings.

"I don't want you to suffer like this after marrying me. I can also promise you that you can marry me, leave the palace if you want, and go into business if you want. You can continue doing whatever you want now. I will not restrict your freedom."

Yun Xiyue already felt that he had put a lot of thought into it, since he could say that.

"I am already very pleased that His Majesty has such a thought."

“From now on, Your Majesty will stay in the palace, and I will make money outside. We can join forces to deal with the three major families, and Your Majesty will no longer be subject to their control. Actually, this is quite good. There is no need for me to enter the palace and become your empress, is there?”

Murong Yu wrapped his arms tightly around her, "You don't want to enter the palace just to help me?"

"That's not entirely true. I didn't know at first that you would be constrained by these families in your imperial power."

"I just want to make a little money."

When it comes to money...

Murong Yu felt annoyed. "That ten million taels was just to annoy you. There's no need to take it seriously."

"Don't really think you can just throw ten million taels at me and sleep with me for free!"

He wants a formal title.

"To do this is to humiliate me."

Yun Xiyue was both amused and exasperated. "Then am I deserving of death?"

"Hmph, you know that too?" Murong Yu rolled over and pinned her down.

"I'm poisoned. If my blood and qi are inflamed, the poison will easily take effect."

Murong Yu couldn't help but laugh, "I know."

Yun Xiyue realized she had been tricked and angrily pushed him away, saying, "I need to rest. Go back now and don't bother me."

Murong Yu did not leave.

He clung to her, sleeping in her room until nearly dawn before leaving.

Tonight, Murong Yu finally got a good night's sleep, and he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Yun Xiyue didn't know when he left. When she woke up, there was no trace of him, only a faint purple fragrance remained.

"Miss, I heard that the Emperor was furious this morning, and several censors were flogged."

Yun Xiyue frowned. "Why were you punished with a cane?"

"It's because they were so audacious as to impeach the Emperor, saying that the Emperor shouldn't have gotten entangled with you."

"They even say the Emperor stole another man's wife! Miss, you're divorced and have no connection with the Shen family anymore, yet these people insist on clinging to your divorced status."

"That was intentional! That's why the Emperor was angry and punished them."

Qingmei and Granny Cao thought the lesson was well taught.

A divorced woman cannot remarry.

Does that mean we can't have the right to happiness?

"Those people are just jealous of Miss Jealousy."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Are all those punished censors?"

"Yes."

That means someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes; no wonder Murong Yu was angry.

After having breakfast, Yun Xiyue took an antidote pill.

Let's eat first anyway.

Zhang Chuhuan and Wan Jiaojiao came to visit her together.
