My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Deng Qing from the Criminal Justice Department was extremely efficient. After just one night, Shanhu confessed that it was Lianxin who bribed her, and Duan Cainü had no prior knowledge of this.

As a result, Duan Cainü was acquitted, and Shanhu, the servant who betrayed her master, was sentenced to death on the spot.

The first thing Duan Cainv did when she returned to Lingyun Palace was to go to Shuiyuexuan to thank Xue Youli.

"Without Concubine Xue's care, I would not have been able to walk out of the Criminal Court alive. I owe Concubine Xue my life. If you need me in the future, please do as you please."

Last night, Xue Youli told Murong Che in advance that Duan Cainv had reminded her that there was a problem with the sachet. Murong Che had someone pass a message to Deng Qing, so Duan Cainv was able to walk out of the Criminal Justice Department unharmed.

Otherwise, she would die in this conspiracy like Coral.

Xue Youli pulled her up and said, "Sister Duan, you are too serious. You were innocent to begin with. It was the Emperor who cleared your name. I didn't do anything."

To Duan Cainv, this meant that Xue Youli was a very good person who did not seek repayment for any favors.

"Lady Xue, my mother taught me from a young age that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, and that if someone gives you a peach, you should return it with a jade. Regardless of whether you accept my love or not, I will always remember your kindness and virtue! That,..." Duan Tuonv glanced at her belly several times, not daring to mention her miscarriage for fear of hurting her. "You are still young, you must take good care of yourself. With the emperor's love for you, you will have everything in the future!"

Xue Youli nodded, "Yes, I will."

Duan Cainv didn't want to disturb her rest, so she chatted with her for a while and then got up and said goodbye.

When Duan Cainv was leaving, she ran into Chu Xinyue who was coming towards her. "Greetings, Princess Qinghe."

"Yeah." Chu Xinyue responded. After she left, she moved a stool and sat in front of Xue Youli's couch. "Ali, you're really good. You've gained another little fangirl!"

Xue Youli met her teasing gaze and asked, "Why are you here?"

Chu Xinyue pointed at Erxi, who was holding a stack of supplements outside the door. "The Queen Mother was heartbroken when she heard about what happened last night! She specially asked me to come here to comfort you and asked me to bring you a lot of supplements, such as ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus, etc. In short, they are all expensive goods!"

Erxi put down his things and left tactfully.

Xue Youli looked at the supplements, each one more valuable than the last, and smacked her lips, "As expected of the Empress Dowager. How generous!"

"She told you not to think about anything and to rest in bed for the next month."

Xue Youli thought for a moment and said to her, "You're getting married in two months. During this time, I need to think carefully about what wedding gift to give you."

Chu Xinyue smiled and replied, "What's there to think about? You don't know me well enough! Just pick the more expensive ones. The more expensive, the more I'm sure I'll like them!"

Xue Youli raised her chin and said, "Don't worry, as your wife's family, I will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you. Just wait to become a rich woman!"

Chu Xinyue's eyes lit up when she heard this. "What's with all of a sudden looking forward to getting married?"

"Murong Nan is a little bit stupid, but he's tall and handsome, isn't he just your type? I think you're anxious to marry him and have a taste of what it's like to be his younger brother."

Chu Xinyue thought of Murong Nan's face and sighed softly, "Actually, Murong Nan is indeed my type. After all, who can resist a handsome and brainless boy?"

The two were talking happily when the Book of Heaven's Secrets suddenly appeared in front of Xue Youli.

Xue Youli looked at the words displayed on the Book of Heavenly Secrets, and his expression suddenly changed. "Xinyue, is there a secret passage in the palace?"

Chu Xinyue listened to her nonsensical question and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xue Youli's expression was solemn. "I'm afraid we'll have to leave the palace!"

?

On the other side is the most famous Xianle Painting Boat in the capital.

In the private room, the sound of piano was lingering. When I opened the door, a faint fragrance wafted to my face.

A veiled woman in white is plucking the strings of a musical instrument. The silk curtains hanging behind her flutter in the wind, giving people the illusion of being in a paradise.

"Ah! Ah!"

Murong Nan felt that the mixed smell of incense and powder in the room was a bit choking, and she sneezed several times on the spot.

Seeing this, Murong Ye looked at him with concern, "Fifth brother, you won't catch a cold, will you?"

Murong Nan sat down in front of the table filled with food and wine, fanning himself with his folding fan. "Second brother, how could I have caught a cold in such hot weather? It must be the girl from Piaoxiang Courtyard who missed me and is talking about me behind my back!"

Murong Ye sat down across from him, hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Fifth brother, after the coming-of-age ceremony, you'll have to prepare for marriage. Have you thought it through? Do you really want to marry Princess Qinghe as your consort?"

When Murong Nan heard him mention Chu Xinyue, the smile on his face froze, and he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost. "Second brother, I came to you today to have some fun, so don't mention someone who's ruining my fun!"

To be honest, he felt scared whenever he thought of Chu Xinyue.

Especially when I thought about the fact that she saw my naked butt, I felt even more ashamed!

Seeing how much he disliked Chu Xinyue, Murong Ye raised his eyes and glanced at the girl sitting in front of the piano playing the piano, and whispered, "Fifth brother, if you don't like Princess Qinghe, Second Brother can help you think of a way to refuse the marriage."

Murong Nan's eyes lit up, "Second brother, do you really have a way to reject this marriage?"

Before Murong Ye could reply, Murong Nan thought of Chu Xinyue's aggrieved expression when she slapped herself in the palace, and shook his head again, "Forget it, just marry her. It was indeed my fault that day, and if I cancel the engagement, it would damage her reputation."

Although Murong Nan is not a gentleman, he is not the kind of vulgar person who would be irresponsible if he damaged a girl's reputation.

Seeing his indecision, Murong Ye continued to persuade him, "Fifth brother, this is your lifelong event after all. If you don't want to disobey our mother, why not let Princess Qinghe cancel the engagement?"

The fact that Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue are good friends is no longer a secret.

Murong Ye was worried that if Murong Nan married Chu Xinyue, he would become estranged from him because of her constant whispering.

Murong Nan was deeply favored by the Queen Mother and still had value. Murong Ye had plotted against him and saved him back then, and it was because of the life-saving grace that made him completely devoted to him. Of course, he didn't want to fail.

However, Murong Nan, though not very smart, still had a conscience. "My brother the Emperor has already decreed that Chu Xinyue and I should be married. Princess Qinghe will not cancel the engagement. Besides, with her fierce temper, I'm afraid no one else would dare to marry her except me. I'll just do it as a good deed and bring her back to the palace to protect her."

At worst, he could just marry a few more concubines and bother Chu Xinyue less. It would just be an extra pair of chopsticks and one more person to support.

Seeing that Murong Nan had made up his mind, Murong Ye knew that it was useless to say more.

His fifth brother may seem like a bastard, but he is actually a very responsible person at heart.

"Since my fifth brother has decided to marry Princess Qinghe, why not indulge him a bit before the wedding?"

"Of course! When life is good, we should enjoy it to the fullest. Second brother, I toast you again!"

Murong Ye smiled and nodded, even the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye seemed to show his doting towards his brother, "Okay."

Seeing that the wine glass beside him was empty, Murong Ye picked up the wine pot and poured him another glass. "Fifth brother, you drink first. I'm going to the toilet."

As he went out, he winked at the girl playing the piano.

There are still two months before Murong Nan's wedding. If he hangs out in the pleasure boat every day during these two months, he will make the girl there pregnant.

With Chu Xinyue's strong personality, would she still be willing to marry him?
