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

Chapter 704

"Cousin, I know I was wrong... I just wanted to see if you really favored other women."

As soon as Murong Yu arrived at Funing Palace, he was stopped by Pei Fang. She knelt down, hugged his leg, and cried with tears streaming down her face, "Cousin..."

"roll!"

Pei Fang fell to the ground, then got up again, "Cousin..."

"Take her away. She is not to be released without my permission." Murong Yu's eyes were filled with disgust. He had lost all patience with her and couldn't even be bothered to look at her again.

When Prime Minister Pei and his wife arrived at Funing Palace, they were heartbroken to see this scene and quickly stepped forward to plead for mercy.

But Murong Yu ignored them and told them to get lost.

"Prime Minister, what do we do now?" Madam Pei cried, holding her daughter.

Prime Minister Pei was frustrated. "What else can we do? Who told you to do this?"

"He ran up to so many people without any evidence and embarrassed the Emperor."

Not to mention the emperor was angry, he also felt ashamed.

"You have absolutely no brains! Are you a pig brain?" Pei Xiang was so angry with his daughter that he almost vomited blood.

Pei Fang was heartbroken when she heard her father criticize her for being inferior to Yun Xiyue. "Father... it's fine if you won't help me, but you're making sarcastic remarks too? Wasn't I doing all this to prove that I was better than Yun Xiyue, and to gain my cousin's favor?"

Pei Shang said, "Say less. The Emperor is in a bad mood right now, so none of you should provoke him."

"Fangfang, I'm not trying to be mean, but think about it yourself. When have you ever not been taken advantage of?"

Pei Fang's expression froze. "I..."

"I ask you, how can you be so certain that Consort De was not favored by the emperor?"

She wouldn't have taken the risk if she wasn't absolutely certain.

Pei Fang then realized that she had been used again. "It must be that bitch Zeng Rou."

"What are you going to do? Do you have any evidence?" Pei Shang said irritably.

If he confronts Zeng Rou in a fit of rage, he will only be ridiculed as stupid and useless, just like when he cut his wrist last time.

Pei Fang cried anxiously, "Brother, you also called me stupid? Then can't you help me?"

"Go back to Fanghua Palace honestly first."

She and Zeng Rou were both demoted. Zeng Rou moved out of Qinghuan Palace, but Pei Fang did not move out of Fanghua Palace. That was the difference.

The emperor still felt a sibling-like bond with her.

If she keeps acting recklessly, she'll only be able to be moved to the cold palace next time.

She's lived this long thanks to her good fortune of being born into the Pei family.

"Don't provoke the Empress anymore. Your methods are no match for hers. You're just a tool to be used!"

Pei Shang gave a few words of reprimand in a low voice, then gestured for his mother and the others to go back, saying that he would go in and see the Empress Dowager.

Prime Minister Pei and the Emperor were at odds.

If this continues, he will lose his position as prime minister.

Prime Minister Pei could only place his hopes on his eldest son.

Pei Heng came along too.

"Cousin, how is Aunt?"

Murong Yu said, "He's awake."

He was already planning to leave. He was alright, and he and the Empress Dowager had nothing more to say to each other. If they continued arguing, the Empress Dowager would faint again.

Pei Shang and Pei Heng went in and exchanged a few words of greeting.

I dared not say more; the Empress Dowager was in a very bad mood and did not want to see anyone.

But as Ghost Hand left, she couldn't help but ask, "I don't understand why you all protect Yun Xiyue?"

He, a world-renowned divine physician, such a proud and powerful man, unafraid of authority, yet willing to submit to Yun Xiyue's charms, bowing his head only for her.

Murong Yu, an emperor revered by all, was a man of both literary and military prowess, and a capable ruler. Logically, he should not have given up his entire harem for a woman.

But he did this for Yun Xiyue, even going so far as to act and deceive his mother.
