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

Chapter 360

"Miss Yun, please wait! The Emperor wishes to see you!"

Yun Xiyue nodded and followed him to the Imperial Study.

Prime Minister Pei walked out of the imperial study, glanced at her indifferently with displeasure in his eyes, but said nothing and left.

"Ah Yue, were all those things you said to me the other day just to make me happy?"

Yun Xiyue didn't dare look at him. "No."

"Then why did you accept the Empress Dowager's arrangement?" Murong Yu stood up, walked to her side, and grabbed her wrist.

"With me here, who dares to force you to marry?"

"Ah Yue, can you trust me a little more?"

Yun Xiyue raised her eyes, "She is your mother, and I don't want the Emperor to be an unfilial person."

"Didn't we agree that no one would object? Now the Empress Dowager objects, and the court officials object. I think the best outcome might be for us to become brother and sister."

"Otherwise..."

She had thought a lot about it. In her past life, she had heard rumors about his bloodthirstiness and cruelty, and she did not have a good ending.

Now that she has a chance to start over, she hopes he can have a good ending.

"Your Majesty, please don't insist on making me Empress. I've said I don't care. You and the Empress Dowager should get along well."

Murong Yu said, "What if Mother insists that I establish an empress? Ah Yue, then you can watch me marry other women?"

The other concubines were all easy to deal with.

But the Empress was his wife from the beginning of his life.

He didn't want anyone else, he only wanted her.

"If you marry someone else, then I will leave the capital."

Murong Yu laughed, "Hmph, you're really cunning."

He was left to bear all the pain alone.

Yun Xiyue said, "Isn't this just the beginning? I knew you would come to Funing Palace to stop me, and I don't want to upset the Empress Dowager."

"Okay, don't be angry. This time it was my oversight."

As Murong Yu left the palace and saw her grabbing his robe, all his anger vanished instantly.

"Ah."

His expression softened.

Yun Xiyue then dared to ask, "Why do you and the Empress Dowager seem so tense?"

"It's always been like this."

Murong Yu didn't want to talk about the past.

Others may think he's had a smooth and successful life, but they don't know the bloodshed and turmoil that's happening behind the scenes.

His mother was not as kind and loving as others thought.

"Let's not talk about her. Come with me for a stroll in the Imperial Garden."

Yun Xiyue nodded.

We arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Pei Fang came upon hearing the news.

"cousin."

After bowing, he glared at Yun Xiyue and said, "Miss Yun, what are you doing running around like this, a divorced woman?"

"A divorced woman can't go out? Who made that rule?" Murong Yu immediately reprimanded.

"Cousin~"

Pei Fang stomped her foot angrily, "Why do you insist on having her! People will laugh at you. You are the emperor, you can choose any woman in the world."

"It was you who came up with the evil idea, instigating your aunt to go to the palace to see the Empress!" Murong Yu hadn't even settled accounts with her yet, but she had already come to cause trouble without any restraint.

"It seems I've spoiled you too much these past few years; you've become lawless!"

Pei Fang was startled and hurriedly knelt down. "Cousin, don't be angry. I didn't come up with any bad ideas."

"I just wanted to share your burdens and suggested that you make Yun Xiyue a concubine, but you disagreed. I went to complain to my aunt, but she also disagreed with her entering the palace. I'm caught in the middle..."

Murong Yu snorted, "I've already said, A-Yue doesn't want to enter the palace. She can do whatever she wants now, and you're not allowed to bully her anymore."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
