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

Chapter 421

"You were the first to enter the palace. In the past few years, you have been the only imperial concubine in the harem. But I have helped you many times."

He even helped her administer medicine to the emperor and delivered it to her bed.

She could let him fly away even when he was feeding her meat; who can she blame?

Pei Fang cried even more miserably upon hearing this.

The Empress Dowager felt a headache coming on. "There's still a long way to go!"

"Once Yun Xiyue enters the palace, try to get along with her peacefully. You might even be able to get a share of the spoils from her."

When Pei Fang came out of Fu Ning Palace, her eyes were swollen from crying.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Pei Fang retorted angrily, "What else can I do? I want to get pregnant with my cousin's child before Yun Xiyue enters the palace."

"All of you, go and think of a solution! If you can't come up with a good one, you're all dead!"

Everyone was terrified and silent.

I racked my brains to think of something.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Yun Xiyue occasionally sends snacks to the Emperor. We can go to the Yun family's shop and buy some snacks, then pretend that she sent them to us."

Pei Fang rolled her eyes at her, "Then how do we avoid being checked by Eunuch Fu? Even if it's something sent by the Empress Dowager, it will still be checked. Wouldn't that give us away?"

"Then...why not ask the Empress Dowager for help, and have the Emperor dine with her..."

Pei Fang thought it was a good idea, so she quickly went back to find the Empress Dowager.

......

After dealing with some important memorials, Murong Yu planned to leave the palace to visit the Yun family and find Yun Xiyue.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests that you come over."

I glanced at the sky; it was just time for dinner.

After thinking for a moment, Murong Yu arrived at Funing Palace.

"His Majesty hasn't been eating well these past few days. My appetite has improved. Would you like to have a meal with me?"

The Empress Dowager still looked unwell, clearly still feeling uneasy.

Murong Yu then sat down and said, "Alright, I will come to dine with you whenever I have time in the future."

The Empress Dowager was moved and finally smiled. "Alright, then let's have a meal together today, mother and son. Let's not talk about the past. Once Yun Xiyue enters the palace, I will not make things difficult for her anymore."

Murong Yu was in a good mood after hearing this, and replied, "Hmm."

"Your Majesty, please drink the soup. I remember you loved this tofu and fish soup when you were a child."

It was rare for the Empress Dowager to be so kind and approachable. She remembered what he liked to eat, even though it was from when he was a child and he doesn't really like that kind of soup now.

However, Murong Yu felt a warmth in his heart, so he picked up the bowl and took a sip, then served some food to the Empress Dowager, saying, "Mother, please eat more as well."

The Empress Dowager's smile became even more radiant.

The two of them enjoyed a pleasant meal together, a rare treat.

After the meal, Murong Yu took his leave.

Intending to leave the palace, he encountered Pei Fang in the Imperial Garden.

"cousin."

Looking at her outfit, all of which was made of thin gauze, it was as if she wasn't wearing anything at all, and her little thoughts were written all over her face.

Murong Yu's forehead throbbed. "Fangfang, I have something to do today. You should go back first. Don't dress like this again."

"I came to see my aunt, not to see you, hmph!" Pei Fang pouted, looking quite playful.

"But since we've run into each other, I'd like to ask my cousin what else you need for your wedding."

Murong Yu paused, wondering if he had misunderstood.

After taking the list and glancing at it, he said, "I'll take it back and tell you tomorrow..."

"Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

Murong Yu suddenly felt dizzy and inexplicably hot.
