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

Chapter 836

"Empress Dowager, why are you acting like a gossipy woman now?"

Murong Yu's voice was icy. He glanced at the two people indifferently, yet an invisible pressure seemed to emanate from him, making it impossible for them to resist.

There wasn't a trace of anger on his face.

But a single sentence made the entire hall feel as cold and chilling as the Hall of Hell.

He exudes an inherent sense of oppression, like a mountain sitting there quietly, making people feel suffocated.

The Empress Dowager's face turned extremely ugly, and at this moment she realized that she had used inappropriate words.

I didn't argue with him.

"I only care about the face of the royal family. You may not care, but I do, so that I won't have no face to face our ancestors in the afterlife."

Murong Yu chuckled, "Then you're overthinking it! Our ancestors would be overjoyed to know that A-Yue has given birth to three healthy, adorable, and chubby princes for our Murong family!"

"How could I be surprised? I only know that the living care about these trivial things. When people die, they have nothing left, so who would care about these things?"

The Empress Dowager closed her eyes briefly. "That's very good."

"Now that Your Majesty has arrived, please join Consort De for a meal!"

Without waiting for Murong Yu to refuse, she got up and left.

......

Murong Yu did not stay.

After the Empress Dowager left, he returned to the Jiaofang Palace and didn't say a word to Qi Yumin.

"How about it?"

Murong Yu couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek. "Aren't you jealous? What if this child really is mine?"

"You said it yourself. If it really is, then give birth to the baby!" Yun Xiyue's lingering resentment had vanished. It was actually quite difficult for a man to have only her as his woman.

He's an emperor, it's normal for him to have one or two women!

She knew it from the beginning.

“Ah Yue…” Murong Yu’s cold and aloof expression gradually softened, revealing a hint of grievance and sadness.

"What's wrong!"

Yun Xiyue was most afraid of him showing such an expression. "I don't blame you, and I'm not angry. Even if the child is yours, I will take good care of it."

"Hmph, have you ever seen a woman happily taking care of her husband's child with another woman?" Murong Yu accused, his dissatisfaction growing.

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "That's just a hypothetical situation! It also depends on the circumstances. You know Xiaomin's situation; she was forced to have the child."

"It was because I wanted to save you that I had the child."

If we continue, we'll end up going in circles again.

Murong Yu quickly bowed back, "Didn't you say it might have been Shen Yue who did it?"

"Is it possible that the child is Shen Yue's?"

Yun Xiyue shook her head. "I don't know, because we have no evidence."

"Qi Yumin definitely knows."

Murong Yu planned to send someone to interrogate him.

"If we force the child to confess now, things will get complicated later."

The Empress Dowager cherishes this child.

"Why not give birth to him and see Shen Yue reveal his true colors?"

If it were Shen Yue's child, he might poison their child and plot against the emperor.

Either remain silent and secretly plot to seize the position of crown prince.
