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

Chapter 549

Pei Xiang and the others dared not delay and followed along.

"what happened?"

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "It's alright, Grandmother said she was tired and would like to leave first."

Getting old is inevitable.

Murong Yu wanted to visit his maternal grandmother, but he knew that such a trip would only tire the old woman out, so he didn't go.

We've already met once.

Pei Fang stayed overnight at the Pei family's residence before returning to the palace. Hearing that his daughter had been bullied in the harem, Prime Minister Pei was furious.

The next day, they began targeting Yun Xiaohan in various ways.

They started talking about forging weapons.

The Yun family was ordered to immediately hand over their weapons workshop, and it was also suspected that the Yun family was hoarding iron ore, which was to be thoroughly investigated.

The Yun family does indeed own iron mines, and most of those weapons were made using their own iron ore.

Yun Xiaohan ignored Prime Minister Pei. "Investigate if you want. The Yun family can withstand any investigation. As for the armory, if Your Majesty wants the Yun family to hand it over, I don't think it's necessary. The armory originally belonged to Her Majesty the Empress and was given to her as part of her dowry."

what?

These words caused an uproar not only in the imperial palace but also in the inner palace.

Yun Xiyue already had enough dowry, but she didn't expect there to be an armory as well.

The armory originally belonged to her.

"Your Majesty, the armory was built on a temporary basis. Even without the court's instructions, I intend to hand it over." Yun Xiyue was worried after hearing the news and hurried to find him.

"Ah Yue, don't be nervous."

“Since the armory is yours, it doesn’t need to be handed over to the Ministry of War. But outsiders will always have their opinions, so I appointed Yun Xiaohan as the director of the Ministry of War’s armory. From now on, he will also be in charge of the armory,” Murong Yu said with a smile.

"Yeah, I was worried that you would believe the Yun family was going to rebel."

Murong Yu's eyes remained calm. "You really don't trust me?"

"Does anyone own an armory? Doesn't the Emperor suspect that our Yun family really does have iron mines, and that we might rebel one day?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Then would you rebel?"

She is now the heir of the Yun family.

She was his queen.

How do we rebel?

They've finally rebelled! From now on, the Yun family will request to adopt a child into their household.

No matter how much they rebel, his son will still be on the throne in the future.

"..." Yun Xiyue really didn't expect him to be so open-minded.

However, it still makes a lot of sense.

"I wouldn't. I did it to help Great Xia win. As for the iron ore, I don't know anything about it."

Murong Yu was not surprised that the Yun family owned an iron mine, since the mine was not located in the Great Xia Dynasty, so it was not appropriate to disclose it or investigate it.

If you ask the Yun family to hand over the land to the state, then you must also seize the iron mine from other countries, but doing so will expose the location of the iron mine.

Trying to seize iron ore on another country's territory is bound to fail.

Wouldn't that be a case of losing more than you gain?

Murong Yu wasn't that stupid. "Don't worry, they're just desperate and looking for trouble."

"Because of the matter of me punishing Pei Fang?" Yun Xiyue had no idea that such a trivial matter could involve the imperial court.

The harem and the imperial court were indeed inextricably linked; it was not just a rumor.

Murong Yu looked displeased and remained silent.

They were simply tired of mentioning the women in the imperial harem.

"I think they're all quite resentful. Otherwise, for the sake of harmony in the harem, why don't the Emperor occasionally visit their palaces?"

Murong Yu instantly became angry, "You want to give me away to another woman again?"

"No... I just find it troublesome."

Murong Yu snorted, "If I don't want anything to do with them, I won't give them any hope. If I go to them, it will only give them hope."

"This is just the beginning. It's normal for them to be resentful and make a fuss. They haven't come to their senses yet. Once time goes on and they can't make a fuss anymore, they'll understand."

The Empress Dowager has been unwell recently, which is why she has been quieter.

Once the Empress Dowager's health improved, Yun Xiyue felt that life wouldn't be so easy anymore.

"Don't think too much, go to sleep." Murong Yu snatched the abacus from her hand and carried her to the dragon bed.
