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

Chapter 629

The eldest princess couldn't bear to see her husband suffer.

The Empress Dowager was somewhat disappointed in her daughter, but there was nothing she could do; her daughter was her own, and she could only spoil her. "Now that the truth has come out, let's handle it according to Heng'er's suggestion."

"However, there is compassion beyond the law. The prince consort should be punished for his mistake, but since he was injured, he can be given a suspended sentence. Is that alright?"

Pei Heng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the inner palace must not interfere in politics. In the end, the Emperor must make the decision on this matter. My opinion does not count, and you cannot make the decision on your own."

The Empress Dowager's eyes darkened slightly, and she said with displeasure, "Then the Empress sought you out in private, isn't that interfering in politics?"

"Her Majesty the Empress was simply reporting to the authorities; this does not constitute interference in politics."

Pei Heng is known for his impartiality and incorruptibility, and he truly lives up to his reputation.

After saying that, he took his leave.

Yun Xiyue gestured for her elder brother and the others to leave together.

The Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess had grim and unpleasant expressions.

She stood up and said, "Mother, I take my leave!"

"Stop!" The Empress Dowager was furious, not understanding why her usually impartial nephew was obeying her.

"Empress, from now on you will stay in the inner palace and are not allowed to go anywhere."

Yun Xiyue frowned. "Yes."

She didn't hold a grudge, curtsied, and turned to leave.

Murong Yun chased after her, shouting, "Yun Xiyue, you shameless woman! Seducing the Emperor wasn't enough, you dare to seduce other men too! You're truly despicable!"

Yun Xiyue's eyes darkened slightly as she looked at her coldly, only managing a sneer.

"What are you laughing at?" Murong Yun was furious. If it weren't for her, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state, and they wouldn't be ridiculed for the prince consort's affair.

She was the one who caused all the trouble. This wretched woman ended up becoming the empress. Looking at her face, Murong Yun felt extreme hatred.

"I'm laughing. How could a princess of such a great nation live such a lowly life? Is Liu Muyuan worth sacrificing your dignity for? Your current misfortune is all his doing. What's laughable is that you don't blame men, but resent others."

"The one who caused you to be ridiculed and prevented you from having children is Liu Muyuan, not me."

Murong Yun froze, her eyes bloodshot, and suddenly screamed, "What do you know? I have nothing left but Liu Lang."

Yunxiyue frowned, not understanding how she had become like this. She thought back to when they first met, the princess was so noble and beautiful.

"Princess......"

Before she could finish speaking, Murong Yun raised her arm and slapped her, but the slap didn't land on Yun Xiyue's face.

Suddenly a figure appeared and grabbed Murong Yun's wrist.

emperor!

Everyone was so frightened that they quickly bowed.

Murong Yun's face turned deathly pale. "Royal brother... I..."

Murong Yu's face instantly darkened, his already cold expression becoming as if covered in ice.

He gripped Murong Yun's wrist tightly.

She screamed in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "Your Majesty... I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Yun Xiyue was startled by his appearance. "Your Majesty."

But Murong Yu just stared coldly at the princess, his eyes filled with terrifying killing intent.

The Empress Dowager rushed over upon hearing the news.
