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

Chapter 732

The Empress Dowager felt a chill run down her spine as he stared at her. "I'm worried about you, afraid something might happen to you. Is that wrong?"

“Prince Rui is, after all, the child I raised myself. He treats you like his own brother. It’s one thing for you to be wary of him, but do you not trust me?”

Murong Yu closed his eyes, recalling how he had trusted his mother too much in the past, yet she had repeatedly drugged him and sent him to the beds of the concubines in the harem.

They didn't consider his feelings at all.

At that time, did she ever think about the humiliation of an emperor being toyed with by those women?

"I trusted you in the past."

"It was you who pushed me away time and time again."

The Empress Dowager's expression froze.

"If you want me to trust you, then protect A-Yue and the child. If they are safe and sound when I am not around, then I will trust you."

Without waiting for the Empress Dowager's reply, he put on his silver armor and left the palace.

Yun Xiyue did not see him off at the palace gate.

After seeing off the other concubines, Murong Yu sought out Jiang Sijin before leaving.

Ask her to keep an eye on things in the harem.

If anything happens, contact Madam Yun.

Feeling flattered by such trust, Jiang Sijin said, "Your Majesty, I will take good care of Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Ah."

This time, Murong Yu brought the eldest son of the Jiang family with him to Qizhou.

In the past, besides Pei Shang and Leng Yan, Zeng Xiao was the only person by his side.

This time, Zeng Xiao's position was replaced by Jiang Cheng.

Everyone then realized that the Zeng family had fallen out of favor.

No wonder General Zeng didn't come to see him off.

......

"Sister Jiang, why have you been going to the Imperial Hospital so often lately?"

Jiang Sijin smiled and said, "I'm not in good health, so I've troubled the divine doctor to help with acupuncture. But he's very busy, and it's not good to keep making him run around. So I go to the Imperial Hospital whenever I have time, which is more convenient."

"And the miracle doctor will make lots of delicious food, so I can eat there for free!"

"Getting a free meal is the key, isn't it!"

This remark brought laughter to everyone present.

Jiang Sijin was a little embarrassed, and her face turned red.

After Zeng Rou's death.

The palace became much more stable, and Pei Fang stopped going out much.

It feels more peaceful when the emperor isn't in the palace.

This time, Prime Minister Pei is still overseeing the country, while Pei Shang is in the capital.

With him around, Prime Minister Pei became somewhat more restrained.

But they still didn't let the Yun family off the hook.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Merchants are currently facing some problems."

Qi Yumin went to see Yun Xiyue that day.

"The items sent to the palace were all fake... It feels like they were switched, but we don't know what went wrong."

This has happened many times.

Qi Yumin secretly resolved the matter, sparing Yun Xiyue any trouble. However, this time she couldn't hide it any longer, as Pei Fang discovered it and reported it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was furious. She demanded that the imperial merchant be replaced.

With Prime Minister Pei's cooperation, he was in charge of overseeing the country when the emperor was away, wielding considerable power.

"Change them if you want! Who do they want to replace?"

If it were the Qi family, perhaps she wouldn't have any objections to the Han family.

Qi Yumin and Han Lian helped her in the palace, so she could afford to give them this small reward.

“It’s the Liu family,” Han Lian said.

If it were either the Qi or Han families, they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"The Liu family!"

Yunxi Yue remembered that Liu Er Gongzi, Liu Mushi, was the Emperor's man.

However, in the Princess's residence now, Liu Muyuan is still the Grand Prince Consort and is favored by the Princess. The Eldest Princess and Murong Yu have long since broken off relations, and it is unknown whether she will still keep her promise.
