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

Chapter 835

"Yes, send someone to inform the Emperor!"

Even if she doesn't go to inform them, the Empress Dowager will send someone to do so.

Murong Yu's expression darkened upon hearing the news. He revealed his displeasure, not his joy, in front of the assembled officials in the imperial study.

In the past, when the emperor heard that a concubine was pregnant with his child, he was always overjoyed. But this time, everyone was terrified.

But because of Pei Zhili's fate.

The ministers no longer dared to interfere in the emperor's family affairs.

Unless it concerns matters of national importance, one should not interfere, otherwise, angering the emperor will not end well.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," said Grand Tutor Zhou, offering auspicious words.

Murong Yu's expression softened. "Let's call it a day! A marriage alliance with the Regent of Great Wei can only bring benefits and no harm."

"Now that many countries are eyeing us covetously, we should make some good neighbors."

"Your Majesty is wise."

This time, Mo Ye kidnapped the Empress.

Everyone thought that Murong Yu would be so angry for the sake of a woman that he would turn against the Great Wei.

But to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not do that. Instead, he arranged a marriage between the emperor and the empress's head maid.

This action is truly admirable.

The Emperor was not blinded by lust; he had been misled by Prime Minister Pei and others in the past.

After the ministers took their leave...

Murong Yu got up and went to Yongning Palace first.

Because the Empress Dowager was present.

They insisted that he come over.

"Your Majesty, Consort De is pregnant. Please visit her more often when you have time." The Empress Dowager beamed with joy, a happiness she had never shown before.

Once that's the beginning, the emperor will then favor other concubines.

Murong Yu glanced at Qi Yumin.

She dared not look up at him, and was even filled with fear, her body trembling.

"Being pregnant is a good thing, Consort De, why are you shivering? Are you cold, or are you feeling guilty?"

To be honest, Murong Yu was very angry.

This woman actually dared to lie.

She's carrying someone else's bastard child and she wants him to be her father?

He was no merciful man; on his way here, he had already planned a hundred ways to kill her.

"Your Majesty...your concubine...your concubine..."

Qi Yumin's speech was not fluent.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly had someone help her inside, asking, "What does the Emperor want to do? Are you trying to frighten Consort De and cause her to miscarry?"

"This is your own flesh and blood, how come only Yun Xiyue is worthy of bearing your child?"

Murong Yu regained his cold expression, "I never said that."

"Hmph! You didn't say that's what you really thought."

"I warn you, you are not allowed to harm my grandson."

"Since the Emperor has favored Consort De, she is your woman. You will have to take responsibility for her from now on."

Murong Yu laughed and said, "So, does the Empress Dowager mean that the other women in the harem whom I haven't touched are not responsible and can simply be sent away?"

He wants to abolish the harem?

The Empress Dowager's heart skipped a beat. "That's not what I meant."

"No matter what, Consort De is pregnant with a prince, so you should take it seriously."

Murong Yu smiled slightly, "I will not acknowledge a child obtained through scheming, but if you wish, you may give birth to it!"

We'll see whose bastard this is later.

The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. Fearing that he would really abolish the harem, she didn't even dare to mention it and didn't argue with him.

"How is the Empress?"

Murong Yu laughed and said, "Why are you suddenly concerned about A-Yue?"

"She's been kidnapped for so many days, isn't the Emperor afraid she'll be...?"

Snapped!

The teacup on the table was instantly knocked away and smashed against the pillar.
