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

Chapter 841

The Empress Dowager was unable to refute it for a moment; a normal calculation would not be so foolish.

At least they'll clear themselves of any wrongdoing.

Instead of being present directly, this way, regardless of whether it's you or not, you can't escape the connection.

"Then if it's not Consort Shu, then who is it?"

Murong Yu said, "I do not object if the Empress Dowager wants to investigate further, but I do not want it to end up on the Empress."

He didn't care how the harem fought.

As long as it doesn't involve the Empress, they won't interfere.

The Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with his attitude. "Your Majesty, do you trust the Empress so much? What if she really is involved in this matter?"

"If A-Yue cannot tolerate this child, do you think I would allow Consort De to give birth to this... child?"

The Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly.

If the Emperor does not allow it, then no matter how much she tries to guard against it, it will be useless.

"It seems that His Majesty truly cares about no one but the Empress."

In the end, Xiao Tao was dragged away and beaten to death.

Murong Yu got up and left with Yun Xiyue.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yun Xiyue was somewhat absent-minded from the beginning; her mind wasn't on Consort De's miscarriage, but on something else.

When will Master return?

Jiang Sijin liked Ghost Hand, but she didn't know how to tell him.

After all, she was his concubine.

"There's still no news." He's been keeping an eye on the movements of envoys from various countries lately; the King of Liang was assassinated again and narrowly escaped death.

It seems very strange.

The person who assassinated the Prince of Liang was from the Cui family.

"what happened?"

“I think Master has been gone for so long, there should be some news by now,” Yun Xiyue said.

"My father-in-law hasn't returned yet, so he must be with him. No news is good news. Don't worry too much. Consort De has had a miscarriage, but there are imperial physicians available."

They're not his flesh and blood.

If it's gone, it's gone!

The ones who should be anxious are others.

Yun Xiyue said, "Something strange happened today. Do you think it's Han Lian?"

"Suspicion cannot be ruled out."

Yun Xiyue looked at him in surprise, "Since you suspect her, why...?"

“Ah Yue, we can’t control these things. Where there are people, there will be struggles. Whether it’s Han Lian or Qi Yumin, the women who can enter the harem are no ordinary people. The fact that they can stay in the early stages means they are ambitious.”

"Even smarter than Zeng Rou and Pei Fang. He hid his true nature."

He feigned allegiance, gained their trust, and then waited for an opportunity to act. Murong Yu never trusted these women.

It's just mutual exploitation!

He needed them to help Yun Xiyue in the harem so that she wouldn't be bullied by the Empress Dowager and left isolated and helpless.

And their families, who were being forced out, demanded certain things from him, which he reciprocated.

It's mutual.

But it's impossible to maintain a balance forever.

Yun Xiyue understood, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, just like Jiang Sijin had already stated her purpose.
