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

Chapter 763

Pei Xiang's expression changed slightly. "But I am his uncle. I have never thought of harming him or the country."

Why can't I have a little bit of power?

"Is a little power all you want? What you want is the world, the throne," Madam Pei said angrily in a deep voice.

"You still don't know how to reflect on your actions even now? The Emperor has already been more than kind to you!"

"You and the Empress Dowager are truly foolish!"

They attempted to harm the Empress, wanting to kill the mother and keep the child.

Control the harem and the court.

Ambitious, yet with a grand and dignified air.

"Fortunately, A Shang and A Heng are not like you and did not listen to you."

"You want your son to listen to you, isn't that just wanting him to be your dog? Pei Zhili, if you don't wake up soon, the Pei family's legacy will be ruined in your hands."

Pei Zhili, that's his name.

For a very, very long time, no one has dared to call him by his given name.

They all addressed him respectfully as "Prime Minister".

It made him lose his head and forget who he was.

Pei Zhili closed his eyes. "But the Emperor is too heartless. You have no idea how much the Empress Dowager has suffered in the palace."

"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven. No matter who he wrongs, you all have to endure it. That is the duty of a subject. The Empress Dowager is just as arrogant as you, thinking that just because she is the Emperor's mother, she is above the Emperor's position?" Old Madam Pei sneered.

"At home, one obeys one's father; after marriage, one obeys one's husband; and after one's husband's death, one obeys one's father. Has she forgotten this principle?"

"I've been the old lady of the Prime Minister's residence for so many years, when have I ever presumptuously interfered in your affairs, Prime Minister?"

Pei Zhili's face turned pale. "Mother, it is your unfilial son who has disappointed you."

Madam Pei breathed a sigh of relief. "The fact that you can listen proves that you're not truly beyond redemption. Now go to the palace and apologize to the Emperor! Whether you can save Aheng and whether the Emperor will reinstate the Pei family depends on you."

"I'm old, can't I just enjoy my retirement in peace?"

What kind of mess is this?

The old lady fainted after she finished speaking.

"mother......"

Pei Zhili finally panicked and regretted it. He felt ashamed that his elderly mother was still worrying him at his age.

He immediately went to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Pei requests an audience."

Murong Yu did not look up, but gestured for someone to bring him in.

Pei Zhili knelt down after entering and said, "Your Majesty, my mother is seriously ill. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to stay in the capital for a while longer."

"I will leave the capital as soon as my mother recovers."

Murong Yu looked up and examined him closely, then said, "So now you know how to worry about your maternal grandmother?"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I should not have hurt the Empress."

“I did everything by myself. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, just execute me. I only ask that Your Majesty forgive Pei Heng. He knows nothing about it.”

Murong Yu asked, "Was it really all your doing?"

"Yes."

Pei Zhili was mentally prepared when he arrived.

Madam Pei is seriously ill.

The Empress Dowager was also very worried, so she came to Jiaofang Palace.

"Yun Xiyue, are you satisfied now? The Emperor forced the Prime Minister to resign because of you, and the Old Madam is seriously ill because of you. Our Pei family is going to be ruined by you."

"You've achieved your goal, so there's no need to go to extremes. Be careful you don't suffer retribution!"

She led her people in and stormed in.

Yun Xiyue was startled, but thankfully she wasn't feeding the child.

"Empress Dowager, who exactly was it that drove us to such a desperate purge?"

They gestured for someone to take the child away.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager couldn't take her eyes off the three little ones.

"and many more."

She had always wanted to see her grandson, but Yunxiyue wouldn't let her.

Now I can finally see her, and I realize that she has changed a lot since she was born. She has grown a little bit and is now chubby, soft, and adorable, a delicate little dumpling.

She's really likable.

Seeing her reach for the child, Yun Xiyue's expression changed slightly, and she immediately shouted angrily, "Stop! Don't touch my son!"
