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

Chapter 701

"Yes, I also congratulate you, Your Highness. Now the Princess's residence has a worthy successor. I hope Your Highness will cherish this opportunity," Murong Yu said.

Then, taking the opportunity, they announced some news.

"I have some good news to share with everyone: the Empress is pregnant with twins."

Murong Yu held Yun Xiyue in his arms, his smile extremely gentle.

what?

Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but stare at Yun Xiyue's belly.

It was discovered that the size was indeed slightly larger than that of a typical pregnant woman.

I didn't expect it to be twins!

The Empress Dowager couldn't contain her excitement, "Are they really twins?"

"Yes." Murong Yu nodded. "The divine physician has been confirmed."

The Empress Dowager's face was full of joy as she looked at Yun Xiyue's belly, her eyes filled with exceptional kindness. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

She only cared about the children, not the empress.

"May our ancestors bless us, this is truly wonderful news."

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed and ordered that everyone be rewarded, and that an auspicious day be chosen for ancestral worship.

He then asked Cui Yan, who was present, "The Cui family of Dongling Kingdom is a renowned family of physiognomists."

Everyone admired him; they were absolutely right when they said that Yunxi Yue would bring good fortune to her husband and the country.

Now that she's had two, it's a huge slap in the face to those who mocked her for not being able to have children.

Pei Fang, Zeng Rou, and the others all looked very grim.

Cui Yan remained as calm as a breeze, saying, "It's not appropriate to offer sacrifices to ancestors at this time of year."

The Empress Dowager's smile froze. "Is there something you're having trouble saying?"

"No, if the Empress Dowager wishes to perform ancestral rites, she can have someone look at the date. I think it's appropriate, so I won't provide a date."

I didn't expect Cui Yan to have such a similar personality to Ghost Hand.

The Empress Dowager began to loathe this kind of person, who was always contradicting and opposing her.

We will have to eliminate them sooner or later!

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to report."

Just then, a young eunuch came out and knelt in the main hall.

Murong Yu asked, "What is it?"

Yun Xiyue felt something was off and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Sijin and the others.

People were equally astonished, thinking that she had arranged it.

Because they didn't make any arrangements.

The young eunuch said, "This servant wants to report that someone is committing adultery in the harem."

As soon as he finished speaking, his words caused a huge stir.

"Shut up!" Murong Yu was immediately annoyed. Saying such things at this time was just adding fuel to the fire. "Drag him away and interrogate him thoroughly."

"and many more!"

The Empress Dowager said, "This matter is of great importance and cannot be taken lightly. Let him finish speaking first."

The young eunuch trembled with fear and quickly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please calm down! This servant was only afraid that you were being kept in the dark!"

"Then who are you calling promiscuous in the harem?" Zeng Rou asked.

The young eunuch looked up, pointed at Qi Yumin, and said, "It's Consort De..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Qi Yumin's mind went blank for a moment, and she felt a little guilty.

She did not do anything shameful.

But it wasn't entirely clean, after all, Shen Yue had come to her palace in the middle of the night.

Although he said he did nothing.

But if people find out, they won't believe she's innocent, and it could also involve Zhou Zhilan's death.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Qi Yumin knelt down in fear, "Your Majesty, I'm innocent..."

“Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. I believe that Consort De would not do such a foolish thing. If she says this, she must have some evidence.” Yun Xiyue said in a low voice, raising her eyes to look sharply at the little eunuch.

The young eunuch trembled. "This servant saw a man and a woman having a secret rendezvous in the Cold Palace. The man called out the name of Consort De."

"I didn't really see what the person looked like."

Pei Fang said, "Isn't this the evidence?"

"Consort De, I never imagined you were so foolish..." she said with a pained expression.

Qi Yumin panicked, "Your Majesty... I didn't..."
