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

Chapter 655

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "Ignore them."

"How is the eldest princess?"

Yun Xiyue did not allow her to enter the palace for this flower viewing banquet.

The Empress Dowager was displeased.

"The princess is still recovering at home."

The Empress Dowager grew angrier the more she thought about it. The next day, when Yun Xiyue came to pay her respects, she deliberately gave her a warning, saying, "Your Majesty, the princess is unwell. Have Ghost Hand go to the princess's residence to take a look at her."

"Your Majesty, Master is currently at the Imperial Hospital. If you wish to invite him to the Princess's residence, you can go directly to him."

The eldest princess brought this upon herself; why would she ask her master to heal her wounds?

Even the Empress Dowager could say that.

Yun Xiyue remained unperturbed and, after sitting for a while, made an excuse to leave.

"and many more."

The Empress Dowager called out to her, "Now that you are pregnant, it is inconvenient for you to serve the Emperor. Tonight, I will arrange for someone to deliver a token to the Emperor."

"When the time comes, you should persuade more people in the harem to have good news and produce offspring for the Emperor. It is also the Empress's responsibility."

Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly. "The Empress Dowager will make the arrangements."

She didn't argue with the Empress Dowager because arguing would only upset her, and she didn't want to harm the baby.

That evening, the Empress Dowager indeed sent someone to Jiaofang Palace.

"Your Majesty, I am not feeling well, please choose another concubine!" Yun Xiyue glanced at Granny Su and did as the Empress Dowager instructed.

Murong Yu was in a good mood, but the Empress Dowager's outburst immediately turned him into a bitter man. "The Empress is pregnant, so I should take good care of her."

"The plaque is unnecessary. This pregnancy is not easy for the Empress. The imperial physician said that she should not get angry during pregnancy. A happy mood is essential for the baby's health."

"Therefore, we will not allow anyone to hand over a sign in the future."

Granny Su looked troubled. "Your Majesty, if you continue like this, the Empress Dowager will only press the matter further."

"This may not be a good thing for Her Majesty the Empress."

Yun Xiyue touched her nose. "Your Majesty... what Granny Su said makes some sense."

Knowing that the Empress Dowager would not give up easily and would cause trouble for A-Yue again, they realized that the Empress Dowager would not give up easily and would cause trouble for A-Yue again.

Murong Yu sneered inwardly, then glanced at the cards. "Then let's choose one, but that's not fair. How about we randomly draw one?"

Granny Su's eyes lit up, and she immediately did as instructed.

"Your Majesty, please choose a card."

Murong Yu remained indifferent, casually picked up a piece, glanced at it, and smiled, "It's Consort Shu, but I remember Consort Shu is unwell and not fit to serve me in bed."

"This..." Granny Su was dumbfounded. How could it be such a coincidence that Consort Shu was chosen?

"Your Majesty may draw another one."

Murong Yu threw down the token, "I'm not drawing anymore, just once."

"Go down!"

Granny Su dared not disobey the emperor and quickly led her people away.

"Your Majesty, the Empress persuaded the Emperor, and the Emperor listened to the Empress... It's just too coincidental that Consort Shu was chosen."

Consort Shu, however, was kicked by the Emperor and is now lying in bed, unable to move.

The Empress Dowager's face darkened. "Then let him draw it again tomorrow."

Qinghuan Palace.

Zeng Rou was so angry upon hearing the news that she almost vomited blood.

"Who said I am unwell? I am fit to serve the Emperor. Go tell the Emperor that I am fine."

An opportunity that comes along only once in a lifetime.

If she doesn't miss it, she might not be able to win next time.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is now resting in the Jiaofang Palace."

Zeng Rouqi said, "Help me up."

"Your Majesty...please don't be impulsive. Now that the Emperor is willing to draw the imperial edict, what if you cause a scene and he gets angry and refuses to draw the edict again?"

The palace maid was terrified that she would cause trouble and anger the emperor.

She'll probably lose her life then. If Zeng Rou dies, she'll be buried with her.

Zeng Rou was angry and unwilling. "Fine, then I'll wait a little longer."

"Go and fetch the miracle doctor for me."

Her internal injuries are too severe for the imperial physicians to cure. If it were the Ghost Hand, she could definitely recover quickly.
