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

Chapter 843

Han Lian looked flustered, "This concubine is not qualified..."

"So you're jealous, aren't you?"

Han Lian's face turned deathly pale. When she looked up and met her eyes, her throat tightened, and she couldn't utter a single word.

I just felt wronged, my nose stung, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

"I...I just feel like I've fallen in love with His Majesty..."

Yun Xiyue was surprised; she hadn't expected her to hide it so well.

I usually come to Jiaofang Palace.

Whenever Murong Yu arrived, she would leave immediately as if avoiding suspicion, without ever glancing at him again.

"Then you shouldn't have harmed Xiaomin's child."

Han Lian cried bitterly, "I'm just so unwilling and jealous. Why is it that she, who clearly doesn't like the Emperor and doesn't want to serve him in bed, has the opportunity to get pregnant with his child?"

"She says she won't compete for the emperor's favor, but in reality, she secretly follows His Majesty. Otherwise, she would have had the chance to climb into his bed when he needed her!"

Yun Xiyue frowned. "Xiao Min didn't do it willingly."

“That’s what makes her so hateful. Why did she have to get close to His Majesty if she didn’t want to?” A hint of hatred flashed in Han Lian’s eyes, and she could no longer pretend.

The woman, usually so gentle and kind, suddenly revealed such a ferocious face. Yun Xiyue's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that although she was usually taciturn, she had actually accumulated a lot of resentment.

"Your Majesty, since you don't mind Consort De being pregnant with the Emperor's child, then wouldn't you also not mind if we could serve you in bed?" Han Lian wiped away her tears and looked at her expectantly.

Yun Xiyue said, "Didn't I already tell you about this from the beginning?"

She could give you any power, money, fame, or status you wanted.

But a man would never give that.

Murong Yu was only her husband.

"Since you can't do it, then there's no need for us to have any further dealings."

Han Lian's face froze, then she said angrily, "So all the time you treated us like sisters was fake? If we're sisters, why can't we share a man?"

Yunxi Yue's forehead veins throbbed as she suddenly realized that Tianzhen was someone else entirely; there were no true sisters in the palace.

However, they all share common interests.

"If you have all the skills, then you should strive for them yourself."

Han Lian was secretly annoyed. "Fine, then I thank Your Majesty."

She had always been afraid of Yun Xiyue, so she dared not compete for the emperor's favor.

Now that they've talked it out, she won't pretend anymore.

"Think it over. If you end up like everyone else, don't blame me for not warning you, and don't expect me to be merciful and help you."

"It's all about skill, understand?"

Han Lian froze, feeling a chill run down her spine, because the imposing aura emanating from her was terrifying.

"Furthermore, since you admit that you deliberately plotted to cause Consort De's miscarriage, then go and apologize to Consort De yourself. I will also deal with this matter according to palace rules."

"Are you convinced?"

Han Lian panicked, but if she wanted to compete for the emperor's favor in a fair and square manner, she had to be clean and pure in order to win his affection.

The emperor disliked women who were cunning, treacherous, and ruthless.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please, please don't tell the Emperor."

Han Lian knelt down and pleaded desperately.

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "I just said that it's all up to your own abilities. I won't help you. If you're capable, then go and compete for favor yourself."

"Someone is coming."

Han Lian hurriedly said, "I admit it. His Majesty has already decided not to pursue my mistake. Besides, I have been poisoned. Your Majesty the Empress cannot punish me."

That day, the emperor protected her.

She was very happy, feeling that she had a chance to win the emperor's heart.

Yun Xiyue said, "One thing at a time. Since you refuse to accept my punishment, then let the Empress Dowager handle it!"

"don't want......"

If the Empress Dowager finds out, she will definitely kill her.

"Sister Xiyue, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, considering I helped you in the past. I swear I will never do anything to hurt others again." Having known her for almost two years, Han Lian understood her well.
