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

Chapter 933

Yun Xiyue said, "I will not kill you. Your crimes will be decided after the Emperor returns to the capital. But the Liu family will not escape death."

Liu Muyuan was still breathing.

"Princess......"

Murong Yun quickly ran over, "Liu Lang... don't scare me."

"Imperial Physician, please save Young Master Liu!"

The imperial physician coldly replied, "He has already lost too much blood and is beyond saving. There's no need to save him either."

A worthy death.

Liu Muyuan's eyes widened, and finally he breathed his last, unwilling to accept his fate.

Yunxi Yue ordered Murong Yun to be imprisoned in a death row cell.

The Liu family plotted rebellion, and their entire clan was executed.

His family property was confiscated, and he was executed.

Everyone subconsciously swallowed, "Her Majesty the Empress is wise!"

"Wait a minute!"

Just then, Pei Heng stepped forward and said, "The Emperor is not in the capital at the moment, and the Empress is a member of the inner palace. The inner palace should not interfere in politics. Matters of the court should be decided by the Regent."

Yun Xiyue glanced at him and smiled, "Why is Lord Pei so talkative now? Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

He was in the imperial court, yet he watched helplessly as the Princess and Liu Muyuan acted recklessly.

He is not incapable of turning the tide.

It's because they don't want to.

Yun Xiyue understood that he resented Murong Yu.

He also resented her.

Pei Heng, dressed in a scarlet official robe, stood in front of the main hall, his head slightly lowered and a smirk playing on his lips. "The entire palace has been brought under control. Liu Muyuan killed Lord Liu on the spot."

"I am but a lowly civil official, powerless to resist. But rules are rules, and there has never been a precedent for women to attend court. I hope the Empress will abide by them."

Yun Xiyue laughed and said, "Then what if I insist on interfering?"

Her casual remark echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

"Now that we are beset by internal and external troubles, this is not the time to talk about rules. Instead, we should work together to manage the court and solve the worries of the Emperor and the million soldiers on the border."

"The Empress Dowager is unwell, and one of the two regents is injured and the other has died, making them unable to attend court. As the Empress, I will temporarily assume the duties of regent. What do you gentlemen think?"

Pei Heng remained silent.

At this point, no one dared to make a decision on their own.

An official said, "Your Majesty, if it is by imperial decree, then it is not impossible."

Yes! With the Emperor's decree, it's perfectly legitimate.

No one could object.

But now the emperor is at the border, and it's beyond his reach.

"Report!"

At this moment, Leng Yan and Zhou Yan entered the palace together.

"Imperial decree has arrived!" Leng Yan entered carrying a brocade box.

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down.

Zhou Yan picked up the imperial edict and read it aloud, which meant that he agreed to Yun Xiyue's decision to oversee the country.

A cold glint flashed in Pei Heng's eyes. "The Emperor is at the border. Where did the imperial edict come from?"

"This imperial edict was given to me by my grandfather before he passed away. He instructed me to take the edict to Commander Leng, escort the Empress into the palace, and read the edict aloud!"

"If you gentlemen do not believe me, you can ask General Xiao. Also, there is an imperial seal on this. Whether it is real or not, the historian can check it and find out."

Pei Heng was secretly furious, not expecting that Murong Yu was prepared all along.

Since there is an imperial edict and two regents as witnesses.

No one questioned or objected anymore.

Yun Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and immediately issued an edict to confiscate the property of the Liu family and execute them!

Especially those involved, including the Su family.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too cruel? Although the Princess and her husband are unforgivable, the Liu family is innocent, and Commander Su was also coerced by the Princess." Pei Heng stepped forward to object, "Their crimes don't warrant death!"

Yun Xiyue looked displeased and rebuked sharply, "So you mean treason is a minor matter? A small punishment is enough to set an example?"
