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

Chapter 556

The palace maid knelt down, not daring to speak.

"It's the Emperor's will..."

Zeng Rou laughed, "She's quite shrewd; she knows how to use the Emperor's name."

The Empress Dowager only asked her to attend to her when she was ill in order to protect her, but in reality, she didn't need her at all. So she could only return to Qinghuan Palace, but she could not move around freely and had to report to Funing Palace every day.

"Send someone back to the Zeng residence and tell my elder brother to help me find someone to get rid of Bai Jian."

Zeng Rou was annoyed and irritable. She hadn't expected to be tricked by Bai Jian. She had to get rid of this man, otherwise he would have something on her hands.

Thinking about those nights when she was momentarily bewitched and let that man into her bed, she became agitated.

The hostage residence.

"Bai Jian, I'm sorry..."

Faced with the princess's tearful apology, Bai Jian remained unmoved. "Princess, I hope you will not cause any more trouble in the future, and even more so, do not become enemies with the Empress of Great Xia."

"Why!" Sikong Xuanling found it strange. "You like me, and you were willing to enter the palace and suffer for me. So, knowing that I hate Yun Xiyue, you should help me deal with her!"

Bai Jian's eyes darkened with displeasure, and she said coldly, "We are prisoners now. Doesn't the princess understand her situation?"

His stern and cold tone startled her.

"I know I was wrong, don't be angry... But you like me, but I don't like you." Sikong Xuanling felt a sense of superiority.

Bai Jian was a well-known aloof and arrogant person in Beigong Kingdom. He was cold and haughty, and sometimes he wouldn't even give face to his elder brother, the emperor. Although he didn't have any feelings for her, many people in Beigong Kingdom liked him.

This man almost got castrated and became a eunuch because of his own actions.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. Just keep it up."

"But we cannot act rashly now."

Does he really like himself?

Sikong Xuanling found it strange, "So you're saying you'll help me get Murong Yu!"

"I can help you if I have the chance, but you cannot harm the Empress of Great Xia."

Bai Jian emphasized this repeatedly.

Sikong Xuanling felt uncomfortable. "You don't like her, so why won't you allow others to hurt her?"

"Because we are prisoners now!" Bai Jian was losing patience.

"Princess, Young Master Bai is injured. Why don't you let him rest for a while?" At this moment, a maid came over to persuade him.

Everyone knows that Sikong Xuanling is a brainless and foolish princess.

If she hadn't been born into an imperial family, she would have died from her own stupidity long ago.

But she was lucky to have a loving older brother who doted on her.

The group was now exhausted, both physically and mentally. Bai Jian had almost died, but she hadn't shown any concern, only caring about herself.

Bai Jian turned and left, instructing her companion to watch over her.

"Young master, the Zeng family has sent people again."

Bai Jian was extremely annoyed. "Who is it?"

"The eldest son of the Zeng family."

......

Yunxi Yue didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the hostage residence.

I've been trying to figure out how to open a shop and make money these past few days.

Several new shops have recently opened and business is pretty good.

After Pei Shang and Gong Shu got married, Mo Ye had to go back.

Before leaving, I visited Jiaofang Palace.

"I'm sorry, we were unable to investigate the matter of someone impersonating you before."

Pei Fang then put forward several scapegoats, claiming that the guards had neglected their duties and deliberately lied.

Yun Xiyue felt that the guards were innocent, so she did not let Murong Yu pursue the matter further.

But Mo Ye still needs an explanation.

"It's not your fault."

"The treacherous schemes in the inner palace are even more dangerous than the intrigues in the court. You must take good care of yourself from now on." Mo Ye was very reluctant to part with her and regretted revealing his identity. If she didn't know, he could still stay by her side as Bei Ye.

"Ah, you too."

Yun Xiyue prepared a bottle of medicine. "This is a Spirit Pregnancy Pill prepared by my master. Your Highness, you may..."

Take this back to the Empress of Great Wei; perhaps it will have some effect.

Mo Ye knew that this must have been prepared by her.

Having spent more than two years together, he was very familiar with Yun Xiyue's abilities.
