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

Chapter 525

Since she has been able to think things through and is able to let go of things in the future, Madam Yun has nothing more to say to her.

“That’s right, we’re the only ones who get to bully them,” Gong Shu said with a smile.

"By the way, when can we go to the palace to visit Sister Xiyue?"

"Three days later."

Lady Yun also missed her daughter and worried that she wouldn't be used to being in the palace.

Today, Yunnan Sheng took the newly forged Xuan Tie sword to the snow mountain.

Yunnan Sheng felt guilty if he didn't personally rescue the person.

Yun Xiyue also had this matter on her mind.

"Don't worry, I think I'll send Shadow and Nanyin to accompany Father-in-law to the snow mountain. It won't be long before we can bring Master back."

"Nanyin went too?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Yes, he has now become Shadow's disciple and joined the Dragon Shadow Guard. The enemy who killed his family was killed by Shadow, who avenged him."

He fulfilled the conditions that Murong Yu had previously agreed to for him.

The Gu healers in Nanyin are very powerful.

Shadow was willing to take him as a disciple, and Murong Yu also wanted to promote the Gu medicine to serve the Great Xia Dynasty in the future, so he agreed.

This has both advantages and disadvantages; a Gu healer can save lives, but Gu worms can also harm people.

Poison only kills people, while Gu worms can control people's minds.

It all depends on the conscience of the person who raises the poison.

“Nanyin is simple-minded. If she is properly taught, the art of Gu medicine can be greatly developed,” Yun Xiyue said.

Murong Yu said, "Hmm."

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has sent over a list, saying it is a list of candidates for the Four Consorts."

Murong Yu picked it up impatiently and glanced at it. "A-Yue, take a look. Do you think it's okay?"

Zeng Rou was the Consort Shu, Zhou Zhilan was the Consort De, and there was also the position of Consort Xian, which was given to the daughter of the Minister of Revenue.

There were also twelve women, all daughters of generals who had made great contributions in this battle and daughters of important officials of the court.

The Empress Dowager's intention was that these people needed to enter the palace, regardless of their willingness. This was an important means of winning over the officials, making them wholeheartedly loyal to the Murong family, and also of using them as hostages to control the other party.

Some ministers were unwilling to send their daughters into the palace, such as the Chu and Xiao families.

However, since they held military and court power, the Empress Dowager believed that the Chu and Xiao families should also send someone into the palace, whether it was a legitimate daughter or a concubine's daughter, one of them had to enter the palace.

Those without daughters are out of the question.

Those whose daughters were chosen were all required to enter the palace.

The Qi family, the Liu family, and the Han family also need to send people to the palace.

Qi Jia is Qi Yuyan's younger sister, Qi Yumin, and Liu Jia is Liu Musheng, who was almost shot and fell off her horse, breaking her leg.

As for the Han family, she is the youngest daughter of the Han family.

Even the Shen family had a daughter chosen to enter the palace; it was Shen Huan.

Yun Xiyue muttered to herself, "Why are most of them people who have a grudge against me?"

They want these women to enter the palace and deal with her!

Murong Yu couldn't help but laugh, "Then cross them all out."

“Even if it weren’t for these people, there would be others. If they want to enter the palace, then so be it. I don’t want those innocent women to be persecuted in the palace,” Yun Xiyue said.

"What if they all gang up on you?"

Yun Xiyue snorted, "I am the Empress now, and they are just concubines. As long as the Emperor doesn't support them, whatever they do is just empty talk and they can't really make a difference."

"Uh-huh!"

Murong Yu smiled and nodded, "Why don't you move to Zichen Palace and live with me? Zichen Palace is far from the inner palace."

It's best to stay away from places of trouble.

"Escape is not the solution; we must meet force with force and water with earth."

"As long as the Emperor is always on my side, I have nothing to fear."

Murong Yu reached out and hugged her. "Alright, I promise you, I will always stand by your side."

The memorial was sent to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was shocked. "The Empress didn't make a scene? She agreed to it?"

"The Emperor disagreed, but the Empress persuaded him to agree. The Empress just disliked... saying that several of them had a grudge against her," the eunuch reported in detail.

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "Knowing my intentions perfectly well, she still dared to agree. It seems she's planning a real contest with me!"
