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

Chapter 422

"Get out of my way!" Murong Yu shoved the woman away forcefully, showing no mercy whatsoever. His eyes were dark and angry, as if he wanted to strangle her.

"Pei Fang, you dared to drug me again!"

Pei Fang climbed up from the cobblestone path, feeling both terrified and excited, now that it was just the two of them.

Both Eunuch Fu and Leng Yan were ordered to be taken away by the Empress Dowager's men.

"Cousin, I really like you."

"I don't want the empress position, and I won't compete with Yun Xiyue for it. I just want to be your woman, and your first child must be born to me. Then I don't care about anything else."

"Please don't reject me anymore, okay?"

Murong Yu felt heavy-hearted, not only because he had been given an aphrodisiac, but also because he had been given a drug that would temporarily disable his martial arts.

Pei Fang lunged at him, and he was too weak to push her away.

He cannot tolerate a woman touching him.

"Take her away."

At that moment, a figure appeared like a ghost and knocked Pei Fang unconscious.

"emperor…"

Murong Yu's breathing became rapid. "Help me back to my palace..."

The next day.

The emperor did not attend court.

Everyone speculated, but the Empress Dowager was in a good mood. "Is the Emperor in Fanghua Palace? Tell the ministers that today is a day off, and we can discuss things tomorrow."

The Empress Dowager was unusually happy, so Granny Su hurriedly urged her to eat more.

“Aunt…” Pei Fang ran over at this moment, looking flustered and almost falling over as she walked.

"Slower."

The Empress Dowager assumed it was because of the fierce battle with the Emperor last night, and her smile became even more amiable. "The Emperor was angry, so he sent him to see me, saying it was my will."

"Aunt, my cousin didn't touch me."

"The Dragon Shadow Guards appeared, knocked me unconscious, and sent me back to Fanghua Palace, while my cousin was taken back to Zichen Palace... He didn't attend court today, and I'm worried something happened to him."

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager dropped the bird's nest porridge in her hand. "Quickly, summon the imperial physician to Zichen Palace."

Murong Yu soaked in cold water all night.

He is seriously ill.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived with the imperial physicians."

Murong Yu's face was dark and gloomy, and even a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes. "Tell them to get out!"

The Empress Dowager and Pei Fang entered the Zichen Palace and heard this angry roar.

I was startled.

"My son..."

Murong Yu closed his eyes. "Get out."

"I hope you and Fangfang can have a child soon, but I did not drug you."

"It must have been someone else who did it, but why won't you touch Fangfang? How is Fangfang inferior to Yunxiyue?" The Empress Dowager said with great distress.

"You poisoned that fish soup yesterday?" Murong Yu asked coldly.

The Empress Dowager said, "No."

"If she's not the Empress Dowager, then she must be a Noble Consort."

"The Imperial Concubine has poisoned me, a crime that cannot be forgiven. From today onwards, she is demoted to the rank of Consort Fang, confined to her quarters for three months, and her salary is forfeited for one year."

Pei Fang's legs went weak and she knelt down. "Cousin, I know I was wrong. Please don't strip me of my title of Imperial Concubine. I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again."

She kowtowed and wept bitterly.

The Empress Dowager nearly fainted, and Su Mama quickly supported her.

"I forbid it... Your Majesty, what evidence do you have that Consort Gui poisoned the body? Without evidence, Consort Gui cannot be punished."

Murong Yu sneered and glanced at Granny Su.

Granny Su was so frightened that she froze, not daring to move.

Then the emperor's gaze fell on a palace maid beside Pei Fang, without him needing to say anything more.

Then someone came in and dragged the person away.

A moment later, Leng Yan entered and said, "Your Majesty, a packet of medicine powder was found on Jinxiu, the palace maid who serves the Imperial Concubine."
