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

Chapter 742

Murong Yu is not in the capital.

The only one who can mobilize the Dragon Shadow Guard is Yun Xiyue.

"He actually gave the Dragon Shadow Guard token to the Yun family?" Prime Minister Pei slammed his fist on the table in anger, a hint of fury flashing in his eyes.

He became even more determined to kill Yun Xiyue.

"Send a message to the palace to find the Empress Dowager."

The guard said, "Our people can't find the Empress Dowager. Once we make a move, they're all mysteriously eliminated. It seems the Empress is planning to take this opportunity to get rid of our spies in the harem."

"She dares!"

Prime Minister Pei was furious and immediately got up to secretly go to see the Prince of Liang.

"Your Excellency's visit so late at night, is there something urgent?" King Liang was very surprised. What he did was extremely risky, and it was very likely that someone would find a pretext to use against him.

Pei Xiang said, "The Yun family sent people to capture my son. They are still using Heng'er to get rid of our spies in the palace."

"The Emperor gave her the Dragon Shadow Guard."

Murong Yan was shocked upon hearing this. "Then what does the Prime Minister want me to do now?"

"We cannot allow our spies to be exposed again, otherwise the Yun family will eliminate them all. We can only trouble Your Highness to go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager."

It's not appropriate to enter the palace so late.

It can only be tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang has entered the palace and wishes to see the Empress Dowager."

"Have someone stop him and say that the Empress Dowager is unwell and refuses to see anyone."

Leng Yan led his men out, and the nearest Imperial Guards were all mobilized.

The entire palace was under heavy security.

"Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is unwell. Please return home. She will summon you to the palace in a couple of days once she has recovered."

King Liang sensed the tight security in the palace and knew it was Murong Yu's doing.

Leng Yan is back; he's still worried about leaving his wife alone in the palace.

"Okay, I'll come back in a couple of days."

King Liang returned empty-handed, and Prime Minister Pei grew anxious.

They directly ordered an investigation, pointing the finger at the Yun family, claiming that the Yun family had kidnapped Pei Heng.

"To accuse our Yun family of kidnapping Young Master Pei, we need to have evidence!"

Yunnan Sheng thought he was just there to make a joke. "Prime Minister, I think you're just reaping what you've done wrong, and now it's your son's fault."

"It was your daughter who sent people to kidnap my son," Pei Xiang said angrily.

"Hmph! My daughter is in the palace awaiting childbirth, why would I arrest your son for no reason?"

"Could it be that the assassination attempt on the legendary healer is related to your son?"

Yunnan Sheng sneered; his daughter wouldn't do this for no reason.

It must be that old bastard Pei Xiang who touched her sore spot.

"How could the assassination attempt on the divine physician be related to us? You're making baseless accusations!" Prime Minister Pei exclaimed angrily.

Yunnan Sheng said, "Then your son's kidnapping has nothing to do with our Yun family. If you have any evidence, then produce it."

"No, that's just slander and a deliberate attempt to defame the Empress."

"When the Emperor returns, I will make him give us justice."

After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned around, and left Dali Temple.

Prime Minister Pei was so angry that he ordered his men to stop him.

As the guards surrounded them, Leng Yan appeared with his men. "Prime Minister, Her Majesty the Empress has ordered that the imperial arsenal must not be used without evidence."

"This is the evidence we found in the suburbs."

Leng Yan took out a bloodstained shoe that belonged to Pei Heng.

Upon seeing it, Prime Minister Pei excitedly took it, then clutched it in his palm and angrily exclaimed, "I want to see Her Majesty the Empress!"
