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

Chapter 996

Yun Xiyue hugged his neck and smiled, "Because I didn't make you a cloak?"

"No, it's just a cloak. I'm not that stingy," Murong Yu scoffed.

"promise."

Back in his palace, Yun Xiyue took out a sachet for him. "I made this myself. Since His Majesty doesn't need any cloaks, I didn't make any."

Besides, it's too much work to make two at once.

Murong Yu's eyes lit up, and he took it and sniffed it. "The Soul Incense you made?"

"Yes." Yun Xiyue nodded. "It's a newly improved version."

"The poison in your body has been almost completely cleared. My master has been working very hard these past few days, which is why I made this cloak for him. He won't marry or have children in the future; he'll rely on me to support him in his old age. My master is like family to me."

Murong Yu was delighted to receive the sachet. "I know."

"I'm not having any wild thoughts."

You can't exactly say he felt he didn't have a gift!

"By the way, could you arrange for the Qi family to meet with Qi Yumin? My sister-in-law and the Xiao family have spoken to me about it."

Murong Yu sat down and touched her belly. "It's fine. The Xiao family has already submitted their memorial, and I have given my permission. They can meet tomorrow."

It seems that Qi Yuyan and Xiao Lian'er's decision to divorce is indeed true.

I've been investigating for a few days, but I still don't know why.

Xiao Lian'er has already gone back to her parents' home.

The next day, the Qi family went to the palace together.

The Cold Palace is no longer as desolate as it used to be.

Yunxi Yue had been repaired by everyone because many people lived in the Cold Palace.

"Mother, brother."

Qi Yumin was wearing thin clothes and looked much thinner. She had been crying for the past few days.

There are still many things I don't understand.

But I'm more worried about my son.

"Brother, Yang'er, how is my child?"

She didn't name the child, so she called him Yang'er.

Qi Yuyan shook his head; he didn't know.

It had already taken a lot of effort to get into the palace to see her.

It would be good enough if they could get her out of here, why would they need to save that bastard? Qi Yuyan felt utterly disgusted with Shen Yue. If he could go to prison, he would kill the man.

He ruined Qi Yumin and brought misery to the Qi family.

Qi Yumin spoke while crying, only praying that her child would be safe and sound.

Old Madam Qi hugged her and cried for a while. She was old and no longer had the strength she once had. She knew that now the only thing she could do was to beg Yun Xiyue.

"Yan'er, you and the Empress are old friends, why don't you go and ask her? We can adopt a child and send the child away."

As long as her daughter is alive, this child is her only motivation to live.

"Mother, this bastard child is Shen Yue's. Now the entire Shen family is imprisoned on death row, and they will definitely die. Leaving this child behind is a hidden danger."

If he were Murong Yu, he would also eliminate this hidden danger.

Old Madam Qi cried, "Then what do you suggest we do? Should we go and beg the Empress Dowager?"

The Empress Dowager is now in dire straits, barely able to save herself.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager also blamed Qi Yumin for deceiving her and confusing the royal bloodline, which was a capital offense.

"We should at least give it a try."

Madam Qi arrived at Funing Palace.

The promise was to confiscate all of the Qi family's assets and hand them over to the Empress Dowager, hoping that the Empress Dowager would forgive Qi Yumin's mistakes, release the children, and let them stay away from the palace.

The Empress Dowager was tempted by the Qi family's wealth, but she was powerless to help them and could only plead with the Emperor.

Qi Yuyan asked Pei Shang to find Murong Yu again.

"Cousin, the Qi family used all their assets to exchange for Qi Yumin and her child's freedom."

Murong Yu said, "If money can be used to clear one's name, wouldn't that be chaos? A Shang, do you really think I am a person without principles or bottom lines?"
