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

Chapter 724

"Who would frame you?" Qi Yumin sneered.

“As soon as you arrived at Zichen Palace, you started saying sarcastic things that upset the Empress. We all heard it.”

The imperial physician hurriedly added, "If a pregnant woman smells musk while she is angry, she will miscarry."

"No wonder she deliberately provoked the Empress. Knowing that the Empress was having a miscarriage, she still dared to bring musk pills. Her clothes and sachet were soaked in musk water. It's truly terrifying to think about..."

Jiang Sijin and Han Lian were both so frightened that they stepped back.

I dare not approach her.

"Your Majesty, if we have wronged her, we can send someone to interrogate the maids and eunuchs around her," said Granny Cao.

The Empress Dowager immediately ordered someone to investigate.

"Your Majesty, it is true that Consort Rou's clothes were soaked in musk water."

The Empress Dowager was furious upon hearing this. She never expected Zeng Rou to be so audacious. She had warned her long ago not to act rashly and not to harm the imperial grandson.

But she wouldn't listen and plotted to cause Yunxi Yue to miscarry.

"You bastard, what else do you have to say?"

Zeng Rou was dumbfounded. Could she really say that she hadn't put the musk pill in the hairpin herself?

Isn't that an admission of guilt without being asked?

Besides, about soaking her clothes in musk... how could anyone have discovered that she did it so secretly?

"Your Majesty, I didn't... someone is slandering me..."

"You keep repeating the same thing over and over; you're just feeling guilty."

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and said, "Guards, throw Lady Zeng into the Cold Palace and strip her of her title of Consort. From this day forward, she shall not step out of the Cold Palace."

"Do not......"

Zeng Rou immediately struggled, but the guards came in and tied her up.

By the time Murong Yu arrived, Zeng Rou had already been sent to the Cold Palace.

Murong Yu was not satisfied with simply banishing him to the cold palace.

The Empress Dowager said, "There is unrest in Qizhou now; we cannot order Zeng's death."

"Humph!"

Murong Yu snorted coldly, said nothing more, and stepped into the house.

"Ayue."

Yunxi Yue's complexion was rosy, and she clearly showed no signs of miscarriage.

"what happened?"

She could still pretend to be the Empress Dowager, but she couldn't pretend in front of Murong Yu. "I didn't have any problems with the pregnancy, but Zeng Rou really wanted to harm me. I just... wanted to get rid of this potential threat."

"That palace maid was also manipulated by the Empress Dowager; she was deliberately sent to say those things to provoke me..."

Murong Yu hadn't seen her for a long time, so he personally went to deal with someone.

She did this on her own initiative before, when she was trying to get rid of Shen Yue and target Lin Bao'er.

"That woman deserved to die." Murong Yu felt guilty and heartbroken. "It was my fault for not protecting you."

Yun Xiyue's anxious heart relaxed a little. That's right, this time she was the one who set up Zeng Rou.

She had someone put the musk pill in there.

The imperial physician had also given prior notice.

It wasn't his master, but a royal physician trusted by the Empress Dowager, so the Empress Dowager had no suspicions.

The reason for using the Empress Dowager to eliminate Zeng Rou was to prevent the Zeng family from harboring resentment towards Murong Yu...

"She will definitely not be satisfied and may escape from the palace."

Yun Xiyue held his hand, "Your Majesty, please focus on the affairs of the court. I will personally resolve the obstacles in the harem."

As expected, Zeng Rou really did run away.

She made arrangements privately to have someone let her escape safely.

He plotted to murder the imperial heir and secretly escaped from the cold palace.

They have already committed a capital offense.

If they are caught at this point, they should be executed immediately.

There's not much to say about the Zeng family either.

Murong Yu rubbed his temples, unable to help but admire her methods. "A-Yue, how long have you been planning this scheme?"

"Not long, just these few days."

She knew what kind of person Zeng Rou was.

"emperor......"

Murong Yu raised his finger and pressed it against her lips, "Leave the rest to me, you just focus on your pregnancy."

He could also use this opportunity to suppress the Zeng family.
