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

Chapter 809

Pei Fang led the emperor to her palace.

"Your Majesty, I sent someone to inform Sister Xiyue, and I secretly sneaked into Fanghua Palace by myself."

"When I saw Consort Pei about to force herself on Your Majesty, I knocked her unconscious in a moment of panic."

"I couldn't take you away by myself, and the palace maids couldn't find Sister Xiyue, so I could only wake you up... But who knew... Your Majesty, upon waking up, you would say to me..."

Qi Yumin started crying as she spoke, "Sister Xiyue, I'm so sorry..."

Yun Xiyue's face turned deathly pale.

That means Murong Yu really did something to her.

The veins on Murong Yu's forehead throbbed. "I'll give you one more chance! Tell me the truth."

"Your Majesty, every word I have spoken is the truth. If you do not believe me, I am willing to die to prove my innocence."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Yumin rammed her head against the pillar.

Shadow caught her with lightning speed.

Yun Xiyue was startled. "Don't get agitated... Since... since things have come to this, you should go back first!"

Qi Yumin looked at him with guilt in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Xiyue. I don't like the Emperor. I have absolutely no improper thoughts about him. I can drink contraceptive medicine. The Emperor can grant me the death penalty."

"This isn't your fault. Go back and get some rest! You don't need to take any medicine. If you're pregnant, just give birth." Yun Xiyue forced a smile.

Qi Yumin's eyes were swollen from crying. She lowered her head in shame and collapsed to the ground, as if being favored by the emperor was a very painful thing.

Murong Yu waved for someone to send her back.

“Ah Yue…”

Yun Xiyue was in a state of utter confusion, not knowing who to believe. "Your Majesty, Xiaomin doesn't seem to be lying."

"Since things have come to this, let's not dwell on it. She was also your concubine, and it's only right that you favored her..."

Murong Yu's face instantly turned angry. "A-Yue, if you're unhappy, just say it. Don't force yourself to say things against your conscience."

"I did not touch her."

"So you're saying Xiaomin is having an affair? She's not that kind of person. We've known each other for over two years. She wouldn't have done that in the past, and she won't now."

Murong Yu laughed angrily, "You trust her that much?"

Yun Xiyue's eyes reddened slightly. "I believe my own judgment. She was bullied by you... You were drunk and under the influence of traditional Chinese medicine. You even remember what happened last night. How can you prove that Xiaomin is lying?"

"She really was trying to kill herself just now."

Murong Yu's expression changed slightly. He could tell that Qi Yumin did not have any romantic feelings for him. If she did, she would have made her feelings to him long ago.

"However, Your Majesty need not take it too seriously. Just consider it an accident. From now on, take good care of Xiaomin."

Murong Yu felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

The way she said those words was like torture.

"Then...you're leaving me?"

He knew perfectly well that if he had been intimate with another woman, she would never have married him.

She may not care how many women he marries, but she is definitely concerned about his relationships with other women.

Feeling sad, caring, or angry all stem from caring about oneself.

Ah Yue, you've fallen in love with him too, haven't you?

But Murong Yu couldn't be happy right now, because this matter had caused him harm, and he felt both angry and resentful.

“Ah Yue…”

Yun Xiyue turned her face away and said, "I know it's not your fault. But... I want to be alone for a while now."

Murong Yu nodded, but did not leave; instead, he stayed outside to guard her.
