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

Chapter 849

As she spoke, her face turned completely red.

Yun Xiyue smiled and said, "I see. I will tell the Emperor."

"You were frightened in the palace today, so I'll give Leng Yan a few days off and let him stay home with you."

Chu Xinyi felt a little embarrassed, "No need... The safety of the Emperor and the Empress is the most important. As long as you have time tonight... keep me company."

......

Leng Yan wasn't on duty today, so he came to the Imperial Study to report since he was already in the palace.

"Beaded flowers?"

"Find a way to get your wife to draw it."

Leng Yan's face showed some difficulty. "Your Majesty, my wife... grew up in the countryside since childhood. She is not skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. I'm afraid painting would be difficult for her."

"Then you draw it, and let her elaborate. Draw it first and let us see."

"By the way, you have a few days off these days, so stay home and spend time with your wife! You've been married for so long, and you've been working night shifts, so don't neglect your wife."

It was Leng Yan who volunteered to work the night shift.

Shen Yue is currently serving as a member of the Imperial Guard. He was injured some time ago and will be able to return tomorrow.

"Didn't His Majesty instruct me to keep an eye on Shen Yue?"

“If we keep an eye on him, how could he slip up? Working in the Imperial Study, he doesn’t have much time to act. In fact, he’s been injured recently and is at home, hiding away. We won’t even know he’s slipped away.”

"I have my own arrangements. You should send your wife home first. I think her fright today is related to Shen Yue."

I've already sent Eunuch Fu to Yongning Palace to investigate.

"Your Majesty, there is Granny Su over there. Granny Su is keeping an eye on things, so no one else can get in. Even Consort De has not come out."

Murong Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "You've hidden it quite well."

"If it's Shen Yue, then he's quite capable and skilled." Leng Yan was secretly surprised.

"Well, so there's no need to keep an eye on it."

Whose child is Qi Yumin carrying?

Leng Yan and the others were unaware of this.

Everyone thought it was his.

Murong Yu felt very frustrated about this. He couldn't act rashly because everyone's convictions required solid evidence to prove his innocence.

The key is this child.

Rushing to get rid of Qi Yujiu's unborn child would be tantamount to destroying evidence.

......

One by one, the concubines in the harem left.

Han Lian and Qi Yumin are left.

Qi Yumin wanted to leave, but she couldn't.

The two had already broken up, so there was nothing to say to each other, but today Han Lian took the initiative to come to her.

"What are you hesitating about? It's such a great opportunity to leave the palace."

Once you leave, you can live freely.

Qi Yumin envied her; she hadn't encountered such bad luck.

I was just really unlucky.

Han Lian, however, felt she was showing off and immediately became angry. "Of course you're happy now. Now that we're all gone, the entire harem is down to you, except for the Empress. The Empress treats you very well, like a sister, and even shares men with you. You won't have to live alone anymore, and you'll even have the chance to rise to the rank of Imperial Concubine through your son."

“You are carrying a dragon’s seed, whether it’s a boy or a girl, you will always have something to rely on.”

"If I leave the palace, what good families can I find?"

They lived in the palace, where they were treated to a life of luxury.

She suddenly missed the old days when she had plenty to eat and drink, and no burdens or pressures.

Staring at her with sharp eyes, Qi Yumin felt very uncomfortable and bitter. She felt like she had encountered all the bad luck in the world, and her good friend had become her enemy.

"You've fallen for the emperor?"

Han Lian's eyes were slightly red, and she didn't say anything.

That's it.

Qi Yumin then understood why she wanted to harm her: "Because I'm pregnant with this child, you're jealous, so you want to kill my child?"

"Han Lian, let me tell you this: the Emperor will never favor anyone other than Sister Xi Yue. You don't understand the Emperor at all, so how could you possibly win his heart?"

If the Emperor were a casual man like Shen Yue...

Sister Xiyue will not marry him.

"We've been together in the palace for over two years, don't we know the Emperor and Sister Xiyue's character? You and Sister Jiang are both very smart. I'm the dumbest among us, I understand such a simple principle."

She's unlucky because she's stupid.

"Shut up!"

Han Lian's eyes turned fierce, but when she saw Granny Su coming over, she quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Min'er, I will stay here with you."

"I will consider leaving the palace after your child is born."

Qi Yumin was taken aback, not expecting her to change her expression so quickly.
