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

Chapter 580

Before Yun Xiyue could speak, Murong Yu refused, "It's enough to take good care of Princess Rui in the Prince's residence. Besides, if something happens to her while she's in the palace, we won't be able to explain it to Prince Rui."

Murong Chen said, "Your Majesty, I can come to the palace with you for a few days, so I can keep Mother company."

The Empress Dowager was very pleased to hear this. It is said that children are closer to whoever raises them. The Emperor had spent less time with her since childhood. Prince Rui was not her biological son, but she raised him. Yet he was more filial to her than her own son.

Looking at the Emperor, the Empress Dowager felt distressed.

He repeatedly went against a woman because of her.

"Ok, deal."

Murong Yu said, "If Mother insists on doing so, then she should arrange for someone to take care of her herself. The Empress will not interfere in arranging for someone to take care of Princess Rui."

"Hmph, she's the Empress. She shouldn't be the one to arrange this. What's the point of her trying to steal the Phoenix Seal? What's the point of her entering the palace? If she doesn't have the ability, she shouldn't be the Empress." The Empress Dowager, seething with anger, suddenly spoke up.

Murong Yu's face was cold and stern.

Yun Xiyue tugged at the man's dragon robe, "I wonder where the Empress Dowager wishes the Princess Consort Rui to reside?"

"Hmph! Ask me what I need you for?"

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "So you're saying that I'll be in charge of arranging the stay of Princess Rui and Prince Rui in the palace these few days, and Mother won't interfere, right?"

The Empress Dowager frowned, not understanding what she was up to.

"You manage the affairs of the harem, why are you asking me?"

Yunxi Yue certainly had a knack for managing the harem.

She didn't need to worry about her at all, unlike Pei Fang, who caused problems every few days and required her to clean up her messes.

"Then Prince Rui and Princess Rui shall stay in the side hall of Funing Palace! This will make it convenient for Prince Rui to accompany the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager couldn't find any fault with it.

After making the arrangements, Yun Xiyue and Murong Yu left together.

"Mother, please don't be angry."

"I think your brother and sister-in-law are both very filial to you."

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "Filial piety? Don't even mention it."

She's truly committed a terrible sin: her biological son is not as good as her adopted son!

"By the way, Huan'er must be hungry! Quickly have someone prepare bird's nest soup for her to eat."

"Have the Empress send the best things from the palace to Funing Palace."

Zhang Chuhuan suddenly became the most favored person.

Even Pei Fang had to give way.

Why couldn't she conceive a royal heir?

Seeing how the Empress Dowager treated Zhang Chuhuan like her own daughter-in-law.

Pei Fang felt envious and jealous. If she got pregnant, would the Empress Dowager dote on her even more?

She thought about sending someone to find Leng Yan, but Leng Yan didn't come to see her.

I tried several times but always ended up disappointed.

"Cold Flame!"

Pei Fang was both angry and anxious, so she blocked his way when he was off duty.

"Your subject greets Your Highness, the Noble Consort." Leng Yan bowed respectfully.

Pei Fang stepped forward and asked, "How are your injuries?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Pei Fang was furious. "Is that all you have to say?"

Leng Yan said, "I must go home now, farewell."

"Stop!"

Pei Fang stomped her foot in anger, then ran over and, taking advantage of his inattention, hugged him, "Ayan..."

"Let go." Leng Yan hurriedly pushed her away.

Pei Fang fell to the ground, scraping her palm.

"Ayan, don't you like me? If you help me... if you help me, I can give you what you want."

Leng Yan froze, and his gaze towards her suddenly became very unfamiliar.

To win the emperor's favor and rise to power, she willingly stooped to this level.

“I have no choice…” Pei Fang’s eyes were slightly red, and she cried her heart out.

“If I don’t get pregnant with my cousin’s child soon, I will be abandoned. My father will be disappointed in me. My cousin didn’t want me in the palace, and now my aunt doesn’t want me either.”

"If even you don't want me, then I might as well die and end it all."

Pei Fang got up and headed towards the artificial hill she was about to crash into.

"Fangfang..."

Leng Yan quickly grabbed her hand, and Pei Fang fell into his arms, tilting her head back to kiss his Adam's apple.

"Ayan... I know you like me, you miss me, don't you?"

Leng Yan tensed up, and after a long while, he gently pushed her away. "Your Majesty, please don't do this again. Doing so will ruin you. I will not do anything to betray the Emperor."

“You are now his imperial concubine, we cannot do such a thing. If you really want to be with me, then give up your status as imperial concubine, and I will ask the emperor to grant my request and I will marry you.”

If you can't do it, then don't provoke him.
