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

Chapter 759

But if the child doesn't eat or feels unwell, they won't drink milk.

"emperor......"

There were sounds of bowing outside, and soon Murong Yu entered with his entourage.

The ghost hand has arrived too.

They took the child, glanced at him, and their expressions turned grim.

Ghost Hand prepared the medicine and fed it to the child.

"Ah Yue, don't be afraid...it'll be alright, it was the wet nurse who was poisoned." Murong Yu came over and hugged her.

Yun Xiyue felt heartbroken seeing the child cry. "Have you found out who poisoned the wet nurse?"

"The palace maids and eunuchs who served the wet nurse are all dead."

Murong Yu's eyes turned icy. "I will continue to have people investigate. The entire palace will be searched. This person is definitely in the harem."

Upon learning of the child's accident.

The Empress Dowager then came to Jiaofang Palace in person, and no one dared to stop her. When she entered, her voice carried a hint of worry, "How are the three little princes?"

"We are rescuing them."

Hearing that she had stopped crying, she must have stabilized.

All four wet nurses have been poisoned to death.

Fortunately, the poison wasn't applied directly to the child, otherwise they would have died.

The Empress Dowager, still shaken, said when she saw the child being brought out, "Bring him here, let me hold him..."

"Bring it here for the Empress to see first," Murong Yu said coldly.

The Empress Dowager's smile froze. She didn't make a fuss and let the Empress take a look first before having someone bring it over.

"Your Majesty, the young prince is asleep. Her Highness said it's inconvenient for him to come out," Chen Mama said, bracing herself for the worst.

The Empress Dowager's face instantly turned ugly. "What does she mean? My grandson, can't I even look at him?"

“A-Yue is in her postpartum period, and her child was almost killed. She is worried and doesn’t want any outsiders to get close to the prince.”

Murong Yu said calmly, "I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me."

The Empress Dowager was annoyed, but she held back. "Fine, then I'll come see the child again after my confinement period."

"By the way, how long does the Emperor intend to imprison your uncle and cousin? Your maternal grandmother came to the palace yesterday."

Madam Pei is quite old, and she hasn't been involved in outside affairs for a long time.

Now, for the sake of his son and Pei Heng, he has to endure the hardships of entering the palace.

However, they dared not go and disturb Murong Yu.

“Your maternal grandmother feels guilty, so she doesn’t dare to see you.”

"Your Majesty, she is getting old and her health is not very good now. Please have pity on her this once and for all, and don't let her outlive her child."

Murong Yu sneered inwardly, "I will send a renowned physician to treat my maternal grandmother's illness."

"You don't need to worry about it."

The Empress Dowager had endured it for half a month, but she didn't expect him to show no sign of backing down. "Does Your Majesty really intend to drive us to our deaths?"

"What do you mean by 'exterminating them'? If I really did that, where would the Pei family be?" Murong Yu's eyes were filled with sarcasm as he spoke, growing angrier with each word. "Does the Empress Dowager think that the assassination attempt on the day of the Empress's premature birth is a trivial matter?"

"If he really did nothing wrong and is innocent, then why would he use A Shang's people to spread false information in the palace on the day Gong Shu gave birth?"

"First, I told A-Yue that she was having a difficult childbirth and that it had worried her."

Knowing that Yun Xiyue and Gong Shu had a good relationship, and knowing that Gong Shu was in trouble, she would definitely be worried.

"At that time, did he not consider that A-Yue was already nine months pregnant, and that triplets were in great danger and could not withstand any stimulation?"

"It's one thing to deliberately spread false information, but Ghost Hand went to the Pei family because A Yue intervened, and on his way back he was inexplicably attacked and poisoned with a Gu curse."

Knowing full well that Ghost Hand was going to deliver Yun Xiyue's baby, he would definitely be in the delivery room on the day of her delivery.

"You told him he was innocent and was framed? Then let him explain why he spread false information!" Murong Yu questioned angrily.

Everyone was startled and knelt down in fear.

The Empress Dowager's face turned pale, and she was overwhelmed by the Emperor's anger, but she still looked up at him and said, "Prime Minister Pei went to the palace to explain to the Empress... it was a misunderstanding. It was a servant who deliberately spread the wrong message. Prime Minister Pei's original intention was to have the Divine Physician come, just in case."

As he spoke, he took a breath and his gaze fell on Ghost Hand. No one present dared to speak, and even Ghost Hand listened quietly to the confrontation between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

To be honest, there aren't many people who can withstand Murong Yu's anger.

"As for the assassination attempt on Ghost Hand, that happened outside the Pei residence. How can it be said to be the work of Prime Minister Pei? Does the Empress have any evidence?"
