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

Chapter 790

"Your Majesty..." Yun Xiyue did not expect him to be in such a hurry, and pounced on him like a wolf.

A barrage of kisses rained down on my body.

Yun Xiyue's cheeks instantly flushed, and her body went limp.

"Hmm?" Murong Yu's eyes reddened, his voice became hoarse, and he held her, kissing her ear slowly downwards.

The night is alluring.

The hibiscus-covered tent is a vibrant display of springtime beauty.

The next day, Yun Xiyue brought the prince back to the Yun family, intending to stay there for a few days.

The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard this, feeling that she was being incredibly reckless, and immediately wanted to file a complaint again.

However, Murong Yu refused to see her.

"Your Majesty, the Empress has returned to her maiden home. This was permitted by the Emperor."

"And the prince's 100-day celebration is in a few days."

"Her Majesty the Empress returned to the Yun family regarding the issue of drinks for the banquet," said Eunuch Fu, offering the excuse that the Emperor and his ministers were discussing important state affairs.

The Empress Dowager naturally didn't believe it. "The Consort Xian, Consort Shu, and Consort De are in charge of the 100-day banquet. Why should she worry about it? Besides, the current imperial merchant is the Liu family. Shouldn't the Liu family be responsible for delivering the wine and spirits to the palace for the 100-day banquet?"

Is the Yun family trying to seize the imperial merchant title again?

No, the Liu family belongs to her now.

She was confident because the Liu family would give her money.

The Liu family's business flourished ever since they became imperial merchants.

It would be troublesome if the Yun family took it back again.

So she hurried back to find Liu Muyuan and bring him to the palace.

"Mother, now the Liu family has a second brother, mainly because he is the Emperor's man."

Liu Muyuan was forced to leave the capital several months ago and only recently returned. "The Yun family also wants to kill me."

"Because of the grudge I had with Yun Xiaohan before."

He now has no choice but to return to curry favor with the eldest princess and serve the empress dowager.

Otherwise, they would surely die.

The Empress Dowager knew he had left the capital, but she never imagined that Yunnan Sheng was behind it all. "That man is truly despicable. If there's any way, I'll have him killed."

With Yunnan Sheng dead, controlling the Yun family will be a piece of cake.

Liu Muyuan's eyes lit up. "If Mother is willing to lend me a hand, then I will definitely kill Yunnan Sheng to avenge Mother."

The Empress Dowager was pleased. This son-in-law was not very capable, but he was very filial and obedient to her.

"Don't rush now. Yunnan Shengwu is highly skilled and not easy to deal with."

"Go back to the princess's residence first and take good care of the eldest princess until she gives birth."

"If it were a son, we wouldn't need to keep Liu Mushi."

The reason I agreed to the Emperor's request was simply to have a sperm donor.

Liu Muyuan is no longer capable of sexual intercourse.

But a princess cannot be without children; she cannot be allowed to have children with a male favorite.

Liu Mushi is, after all, a descendant of the Liu family.

"I know you've been wronged, but all of this is for your and the princess's future. Your Liu family also needs children of your own bloodline to carry on the family line, doesn't it?"

If it were another man...

Liu Muyuan also couldn't accept it, but this child was, after all, of the Liu family bloodline. "Your subject understands."

The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction and told him to go back first.

Then a message was sent to Yunxi Yue to take the child back to the palace.

Yunxi Yue did not return to the palace.

The Empress Dowager then sought out Murong Yu.

At this moment, Murong Yu saw her and said, "I agree to release Aheng, but Mother Empress needs to go to Ziyun Mountain to pray for the Great Xia Dynasty. She will not be able to return for three years."

The Empress Dowager's face turned ugly, and she instantly understood that he wanted to send her away.

"Very well! But I have one more condition: that Aheng succeeds to the position of Prime Minister."

Murong Yu did not agree and told her directly that he did not intend to restore the position of prime minister.

"Are you planning to depose the prime minister?"

Only now did the Empress Dowager understand her son's intentions.

She thought he didn't want the Pei family to have too much power, so he wanted to cultivate new elites.

I didn't expect him to have this intention.

In this way, the Six Ministries would be directly under the Emperor's jurisdiction, and he would make all the decisions without needing anyone else's approval.

But now, none of the six departments have members from the Pei family.
