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

Chapter 656

"No time!"

Although Ghost Hand is in the Imperial Hospital, he only serves the Empress and will not go to anyone else.

I came to the Imperial Medical Academy because there were many free medicinal herbs there.

Otherwise, who will come?

He showed no respect to any member of the Zeng family who came to visit.

Even a fool would know that Ghost Hand couldn't possibly treat Zeng Rou's body; he was Yun Xiyue's master.

I have no idea what they're thinking; they've probably gone mad.

Murong Yu was willing to choose a concubine, and everyone in the harem was paying close attention.

That evening, Granny Su came to the Jiaofang Palace with a nameplate. This time, she deliberately shuffled the roll, but Murong Yu changed his tactics and asked her to call the roll herself.

"Let's call her Consort Xian!"

However, Consort Xian soon said that she was unwell and could not serve the emperor.

Granny Su returned empty-handed.

The Empress Dowager sneered, "He did this on purpose for outsiders. The first time could be said to be a coincidence, but this time it was definitely intentional, because the Jiang family has given up on competing for the emperor's favor in the harem."

The Emperor promoted the Jiang family.

They chose to cling to the emperor for power. If they tasted the benefits, the other ministers would surely follow suit. After all, who wouldn't want to exchange the happiness of one daughter for the interests of their entire clan?

In the past, it wasn't that Murong Yu had no way to solve the ministers' demand for the weather to be "equally distributed," but rather that he had been waiting for an opportunity and secretly observing certain people.

He will only use those who can be of use to him and know when to stop.

He wouldn't want someone like Prime Minister Pei.

"Haha..." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but burst into laughter, "As expected of the good emperor he raised, his methods for dealing with me are exactly the same."

Seeing her mistress laughing so wildly, Su Mama was both frightened and distressed. "Empress Dowager... what should we do now?"

The Empress Dowager wanted to control the government, but the Emperor always disagreed and managed to break the deadlock each time, leaving the Empress Dowager powerless to retaliate.

If things continue like this, it will only further damage the bond between mother and son, but the Empress Dowager no longer cares. "He no longer cares about me, his mother. He only cares about Yun Xiyue and his empire. Why should I care about the bond between us?"

"Has the Prince of Liang returned to the capital?"

There will always be times when the Emperor needs her help as the Empress Dowager.

"We will arrive in the capital tomorrow."

......

Yun Xiyue lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Murong Yu turned around, put his arm around her, and gently patted her back.

"No, I was wondering if Mother would be angry with you doing this! She has a rather domineering temper, and she'll definitely be angry if she finds out you're deliberately fooling her."

Yunxi Yue was worried that the conflict between mother and son would eventually harm the innocent bystanders.

"There's nothing I can do about her being angry. I've done my best!" Murong Yu wasn't worried about the Empress Dowager being angry. Over the years, he had long been used to it. "Don't overthink it. The reason my relationship with the Empress Dowager has become like this is not because I only dote on you. Even if I hadn't met you, and someone else had become the Empress."

"Regardless of whether I like the person or not, I have no intention of having children with other women."

“I told my mother about this a long time ago, but she didn’t take it seriously.”

When she realized he was telling the truth, the Empress Dowager became anxious and immediately selected so many women to enter the palace.

The result won't change anything!

Yun Xiyue found it strange, "Why would you have such a thought?"

"Because I am tired of the struggle for the throne."

"With many offspring, children from different women but with the same father are destined to have difficulty becoming brothers. They will kill each other for their own benefit. Moreover, they will be very biased."

"When children fight, mothers fight too, and in the end, they become a laughing stock."

"There are also those who become tools in the hands of others. To put it bluntly, emperors are also tools that are put on the throne by many people."
