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

Chapter 687

"Now that the people around the emperor are on guard, there is even less of a chance."

Murong Chen was secretly annoyed. "Then what do you suggest we do? We have to go back to the capital after tomorrow. We can't exactly start a fight on the way back, can we?"

That would mean even less of a chance.

His goal was not to assassinate the emperor, but to save him and gain merit!

Only then can they be exonerated!

"That doesn't necessarily mean assassination. How could you be so foolish? And it doesn't necessarily mean assassinating the Emperor."

Murong Yan rolled her eyes at him, realizing that even the self-proclaimed clever Prince Rui was no match for her. "Leave it to me tomorrow. You just play it by ear!"

Murong Chen felt something was off.

The next day, Murong Yu did not go hunting.

He stayed with the Empress in the tent.

"Ah Yue, the weather outside is nice, let's go for a walk!"

"Ah."

Yunxi, staying in the tent, also felt bored.

They invited Consort Shu and Consort De to join them.

This makes it seem as if the emperor is impartial towards anyone.

Seeing that the harem would be harmonious, the Empress Dowager would also come out for a stroll and pick flowers with her daughter.

The eldest princess had been by the Empress Dowager's side the whole time, and she looked quite haggard. When she saw Murong Yu and the others, her eyes turned gloomy and resentful.

"Mother, the harem is really outrageous now. Why are they all merchants? I'm starting to suspect that the Emperor has been cursed by Yun Xiyue."

The Empress Dowager frowned. These people were all chosen by her to enter the palace, so they had no right to criticize the Emperor. "When I first brought people from the Qi, Han, and Liu families into the palace, I wanted to suppress Yun Xiyue, but who knew that they would all turn against me?"

"This is definitely not a good thing."

If these merchants unite, the traditional social hierarchy of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants may very well change.

We need to find an opportunity to promote Zeng Rou and Pei Fang.

"Mother, after we return to the capital, I'd like to go back to the palace with you for a while! I've been taking pills for so long but I still haven't gotten pregnant. I'd like to find a 'ghost hand' to help me get in shape."

"I won't need your help then. I'll figure out how to get him to help me myself."

The Empress Dowager was also anxious seeing that she was so old and still had no children. "Alright. I will speak to the Emperor about it when the time comes."

The eldest princess's eyes flickered. "Hmm."

"Oh no! A wolf has broken in!"

Just then, someone shouted.

"Quick escort!"

How did a pack of wolves manage to rush in?

Murong Yu signaled to his men to quickly kill the pack of wolves.

Many young people stepped forward to help.

Prince Rui was furious. How dare these people steal his credit?

"Brother, it's not safe here. You should quickly escort my sister-in-law and mother to hide."

He suddenly rushed over and stood in front of Murong Yu, looking like he was loyally protecting him.

Just then, a wolf broke through the encirclement and approached Murong Yu.

"Brother, be careful!"

Prince Rui wanted to protect the emperor.

Unexpectedly, the wolf king suddenly stopped.

Then, somewhat frightened, I backed away.

"What's going on?" everyone asked curiously.

Because the wolf king didn't move, the other wolves didn't dare to rush over easily.

The wolf king stared at Murong Yu, baring its teeth and its eyes fierce.

Murong Yu's eyes were equally sharp and fierce, yet they were so noble and handsome that they inspired awe.

Nobody understands what's going on.

Murong Yu did nothing, but the Wolf King still dared not approach him easily.

Prince Rui tried to escape punishment by protecting the emperor, but all his efforts were in vain!

"emperor."

Murong Yu held her hand, "Don't be afraid."

Then, with a cold, sharp gaze, he glanced at the Wolf King and said, "Get out of here! Are you waiting for me to slaughter all your wolf cubs and grandchildren?"
