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

Chapter 670

Yun Xiyue's tone became more stern, "The punishment for the Noble Consort is only a minor deterrent. She attacked Consort De first, so she was in the wrong. If she is not punished, how can we convince the public? How can we maintain the order of the harem?"

“It’s not like the Imperial Concubine hasn’t been punished before, even more severe punishments than confinement have been imposed, yet she didn’t cut her wrists.”

But this time he cut his wrists?

There must be some conspiracy behind this.

"I think someone is instigating this behind the scenes."

After speaking, she gave a sharp look to everyone present.

He glanced at Zeng Rou and Granny Liu, "Which of you was the first to discover that Consort Pei had cut her wrists?"

Granny Liu clenched her palms and bowed slightly, saying, "Yes, it is this servant."

"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine chased us all out. It was Consort Shu who came to chat with Her Highness the Imperial Concubine, and that's when I went in and found out..."

She has already said that.

Murong Yu said, "Let's talk about it after we've revived the Imperial Concubine."

Everyone shut up.

The Empress Dowager's anger hadn't subsided; she felt it was all Yun Xiyue's fault. If it weren't for her, Fangfang wouldn't have been forced into this situation.

How is Fangfang now?

"The ghost hand is saving people."

After waiting for an hour, the ghost hand finally emerged, saying, "He's out of danger."

"Any later and it would have been too late to save him."

When I came in, I saw that Pei Fang was receiving an IV drip.

"what is this?"

No one had ever seen such a strange treatment method before.

Yun Xiyue didn't find it novel because she had seen something similar in that medicine book, but she couldn't make it.

I never expected my master to be able to do that.

“Aunt…” Pei Fang woke up, but dared not move, because the Ghost Hand had told her that if she moved the needles around, even a god couldn’t save her.

Her voice was trembling with sobs, and she could already feel tears streaming down her face.

"Good child, don't cry. Tell your aunt if you've been wronged." The Empress Dowager walked to the bedside, took Pei Fang's hand, and spoke with heartache, her eyes reddening slightly. "Your aunt knows you've been wronged, but you can't do anything foolish! Silly child!"

Pei Fang cried, "Aunt, I don't want to live anymore. My cousin hates me so much, he'd rather favor someone else than me. Even after the Empress entered the palace, he never gave me a second glance."

“I grew up with my cousin, and even our childhood friendship can't compare to others. I... am useless and have let you down.”

"Waaah... I have no face to face you."

The Empress Dowager hugged her and cried along with her, "It's your aunt's fault... If I had known the Emperor was so heartless, I wouldn't have let you into the palace."

The two exchanged barbs, each subtly alluding to Murong Yu.

Murong Yu's face turned extremely ugly. If it weren't for the fact that Pei Fang had cut her wrists and shouldn't be further agitated, he would have left long ago.

"There's no need to force yourself. I've always treated you like a younger sister. It's not too late for you to regret it now."

"If you don't become my imperial concubine, I will bestow upon you the title of county princess and then choose a suitable husband for you."

This was his last chance for her.

"Think it through yourself. Even if you cut your wrists, I will not favor you, nor will I have a prince with you. Your life is your own. Don't think that I will soften my heart just because you cut your wrists."

If he were to compromise with such tactics, he would not be an emperor.

Although his tone was calm, his words were cold and ruthless.
