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

Chapter 559

The Empress Dowager slammed her teacup on the table. "Consort Shu!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Zeng Rou's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! Empress Dowager, please calm your anger!"

She got carried away by her momentary pride and thought that the Empress Dowager would continue to protect her, but who knew that the Empress Dowager would not protect her this time.

"Palm mouth."

Zeng Rou looked up at the Empress Dowager with disbelief on her face.

The Empress Dowager's gaze was stern. "Slap him!"

Zeng Rou had no choice but to slap herself in the face.

Murong Yu had already left with Yun Xiyue.

......

Yun Xiyue had something on her mind.

"Ayue, what's wrong?"

Murong Yu noticed and stopped to look at her.

Yun Xiyue looked up, her brows furrowed with worry, "Is there... something wrong with my body?"

"How could that be? Don't overthink it."

"Children should be born naturally; they are given by God."

Yun Xiyue said, "But we've been intimate frequently, and we still haven't gotten pregnant... I'm worried, what if I can't get pregnant?"

"No, I had a bodyguard who is skilled in medicine examine you, and she said you are just overworked."

Murong Yu pinched her cheek. "If there's a problem, it's my problem."

Yun Xiyue's eyes widened. "How could someone as strong as you have a problem?"

"So you're always very satisfied, right?" Murong Yu chuckled.

Her ears turned red.

"Humph!"

"What if it's my problem?" Yun Xiyue felt a little irritated.

"You'll be fine, don't worry, trust me."

"If there's a problem, it's my problem too."

Yun Xiyue leaned against him and said, "Mmm."

The two embraced in the Imperial Garden, deeply in love.

"Brother Royal."

At this moment, Prince Rui appeared with several people.

Shen Yue was among them.

When Yun Xiyue saw that a minister had arrived, she quickly got out of Murong Yu's arms and said, "Your Majesty, I shall take my leave."

Murong Yu said gently, "Yes, be careful. I'll come back to keep you company later."

Several generals were no longer surprised to see this scene.

But Prime Minister Pei and his men were surprised.

Who knew the Emperor could have such a gentle side?

Murong Yu turned around, his gaze falling on Shen Yue, and noticed him secretly watching his woman. "General Shen, is she beautiful?"

Shen Yue's back lit up, and he quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty... Your subject... has come to request instructions to be stationed at the border."

"I have already made arrangements for the general stationed at the border; you are not needed."

Shen Yue and Prince Rui exchanged a glance.

"I have a very important task for General Shen to undertake."

Shen Yue listened attentively.

Murong Yu laughed and said, "After investigation by our spies in the Southern Qiang Kingdom, it has been confirmed that the weapon map was stolen by Lin Bao'er. She is still your wife. Go to Southern Qiang, capture her, and bring her back to be punished."

"Your Majesty..." Shen Yue panicked immediately.

Prince Rui stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this may not be appropriate."

"What's wrong with it?" Murong Yu chuckled.
