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

Chapter 520

"Your Majesty is incredibly insightful. It wasn't Prince Mo, it was General Wu. He was drugged. He said he didn't know how he ended up in the inner palace."

"The Emperor has already taken the person away for questioning after learning the news."

General Wu was pale and knelt on the ground, covered in sweat. "Your Majesty, I... am guilty, but I was framed."

"I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly."

Murong Yu's expression was indifferent, his eyes extremely sharp. "General Wu, please rise! I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly."

General Wu has just returned from a victorious battle.

Those present today are all meritorious ministers.

If General Wu is punished for this matter, it will displease the other generals.

Even if General Wu were confused, he would never go to the Jiaofang Palace to offend the new empress. Anyone with eyes could see that it was a conspiracy.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Murong Yu raised his wine cup and downed it in one gulp as a sign of respect, saying, "Everyone, please continue drinking. I'm a little drunk."

Everyone quickly downed a drink, then stood up and said, "Respectfully seeing off the Emperor."

......

Inside the Jiaofang Palace.

Yun Xiyue, still wearing the heavy phoenix crown and the red veil, waited for Murong Yu to complete the final ceremony.

The entire hall was very quiet; many people stood guard, not daring to speak, with only the candlelight flickering.

At this moment, someone bowed, and Murong Yu could be heard saying in a good mood, "Reward!"

Then she saw his dragon-patterned brocade boots appear before her.

Granny Chen first handed over the magic wand, allowing Murong Yu to lift the bridal veil.

Murong Yu did as instructed.

He was dressed in a red dragon robe, which made him look exceptionally handsome and alluring.

Finally, I saw the bride's face.

Yunxi Yue looked exceptionally radiant with makeup on.

She has a classic oval face.

It looks like a picture of peace and prosperity for the country.

Neither of them spoke; they simply looked at each other.

Murong Yu blushed slightly, and not wanting anyone to see, he quickly gestured for Granny Chen to continue.

Granny Chen smiled and prepared the wine. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, please drink the nuptial wine."

Murong Yu picked it up and sat on the edge of the bed, handing her a cup.

This Yunxiyue is familiar.

The two drank a toast together.

"The ceremony is complete." Granny Chen murmured several auspicious words.

Then he left with his people.

Murong Yu was quite patient and listened to her finish reading.

When the topic turned to having a son soon, his gaze unconsciously lingered on her flat stomach, wondering why his efforts had yielded no results.

His gaze was rather blatant.

Yun Xiyue's face turned completely red. "Your Majesty... I feel so heavy-headed."

He was too busy looking at her.

Upon hearing this, Murong Yu quickly helped her remove the heavy hair ornament, saying, "A-Yue, you've worked hard."

Have you eaten anything?

Yun Xiyue said, "I've already eaten."

He had ordered it to be delivered in advance, and after eating, he put the hair ornament back on and continued to wait for him.

"How is the matter with the palace maid?"

Murong Yu loosened her tight hair. "General Wu said he was tricked and didn't know how he ended up in the harem. Even if he knew, he wouldn't tell the truth."

"Today is our joyous day, but I do not wish to see blood."

Bad luck!

The palace maid's death is already considered bad luck, so the lotus pond needs to be cleaned again.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow morning. Let's go to sleep first."

On their wedding night, he didn't want to bring up anything that would spoil the mood.

With his parents-in-law watching him the whole way, he didn't dare touch her.

Even when riding in a carriage together, they behave themselves well, at most kissing each other on the forehead and giving each other a hug.

It took him two months to get back from the border; he had been holding back for two months and couldn't wait any longer.

Yun Xiyue lowered her eyes and suddenly blushed. "I can't stay up until dawn. I still need to get up and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."
