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

"You're talking nonsense!"

Only at this moment did Qiao Cairen realize that he had been courting disaster all along.

She was filled with regret and hatred. She stared at Xue Qingyao with her eyes, wishing she could punch two holes in her body. "I didn't harm the little princess! It was you who poisoned her!"

As she spoke, she used her hands and feet to crawl towards the pavilion, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong, I am telling the truth! Xue Qingyao was the one who caused all this. She slandered me just to get rid of me!"

She regretted so much that she had trusted Xue Qingyao and fell into the trap set by this woman.

She hated Xue Qingyao and Xue Youli so much.

In the final analysis, it’s all Xue Youli’s fault. Everything started because of her!

Otherwise, how could he have fallen to this point, and how could he have been easily fooled by Xue Qingyao?

"Your Majesty, the poison was found on Concubine Qiao. Just because I was closest to her, she wanted to put all the blame on me! I am so wronged!" Xue Qingyao said, tears falling uncontrollably, crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

She is already very charming, and her tearful eyes make her even more touching, making me feel pity for her.

Unfortunately, Murong Che looked at it without any emotion.

Qiao Cairen didn't expect Xue Qingyao to be so shameless and still use the beauty trap at this time.

Not willing to be outdone, she pinched her thigh hard, tears streaming down her face from the pain. "Your Majesty, Xue Qingyao plotted to poison the little princess tonight in order to frame Concubine Xue and take her place! However, Concubine Xue saw through her scheme, and now she's trying to push me out to take the blame..."

Before she could finish her words, Xue Qingyao interrupted her harshly, "Ms. Qiao is such a good storyteller! Over a month ago, you had your maid pretend to have a heat stroke to gain my sympathy. I took pity on you and sent you an ice jar, and you took the opportunity to get close to me. It turns out it was all for tonight!"

Xue Qingyao was really good at confusing right and wrong. Qiao Cairen couldn't win the argument or the defense, and she was almost on the verge of collapse.

She knew very well that if she couldn't clear herself of suspicion, she would be doomed.

She would die anyway, so she would not let Xue Qingyao escape unscathed even if it meant risking her own life.

Thinking of this, she no longer cared about her manners and rushed to Xue Qingyao, scratching her face with her long nails. "You black-hearted bitch! I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to harm me? If I die unjustly, I will turn into a fierce ghost and tear you into pieces, so that you will never be reborn!"

She was very aggressive, scratching and clawing.

Xue Qingyao hadn't expected that Concubine Qiao would be so brazen in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Unable to dodge, she was scratched, leaving several long, bloody wounds on her face. She howled in pain, "Ah! It hurts!"

Chu Xinyue folded her arms in front of her, watching them fight each other, feeling particularly happy. "Ali, you are truly an invincible god in the harem! So awesome!"

Xue Youli's gaze stopped at Xue Qingyao, and she narrowed her beautiful almond-shaped eyes. "I hope I can kill Xue Qingyao this time."

The concubines were amazed to see the two people pulling each other's hair.

Wow! What a wonderful dinner tonight!

"Xue Qingyao, you bitch, I'm going to fight you!"

"Qiao Cairen, please let go! Ah! It hurts! Your Majesty, help me!"

Xue Qingyao and Qiao Cairen were wrestling on the ground, fighting fiercely.

Queen Mother Yin has observed etiquette all her life, so how could she bear to see such a scene?

She pointed at the two people on the ground and scolded them in a deep voice, "How dare they be so presumptuous in front of me and the Emperor? How disrespectful! Why don't you quickly pull them apart?"

Wang Defa ordered two young eunuchs to step forward and forcibly separate Xue Qingyao and Qiao Cairen.

Qiao Cairen's hair was all messed up and her clothes were torn.

Xue Qingyao was even worse off than her. Not only was her hair disheveled, but her face was also bruised, especially her right cheek, which was scratched by Qiao Cairen and bled a lot. Her face looked shocking.

Murong Che glanced at them coldly and ordered, "Take them to the Criminal Justice Department for strict interrogation!"

"Yes!"

When Concubine Qiao was dragged away, hatred filled her eyes, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Xue Qingyao is the culprit who poisoned me!"

Xue Qingyao also cried out for justice, "I am innocent. Concubine Qiao has ulterior motives and is plotting to murder the little princess! Your Majesty, please do not believe her lies!"

Murong Che ignored them and soon the two were dragged away.

The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was originally coming to an end, but after such a commotion, how could anyone still have the heart to continue the dinner?

Empress Dowager Yin looked at Murong Che and said sternly, "Emperor, have the imperial physician take good care of Xi'er. The Criminal Justice Department should immediately launch an investigation. The murderer who poisoned the heir to the throne must not be let off!"

"Don't worry, mother. I will investigate thoroughly."

Queen Mother Yin nodded and said, "I am tired. I will go back first. You can go as well."

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Before Queen Mother Yin left, she looked in Chu Xinyue's direction and said, "Yue'er, accompany me back."

"Yes!" Chu Xinyue responded, reluctantly pulling Xue Youli's arm, "Ali, I'll come find you tomorrow!"

After she finished speaking, she ran to Empress Dowager Yin and followed her, who supported her back to the Cining Palace.

Xue Youli glanced at Xiao Anzi who was still kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "Get up, we will go back too."

"Master, I am guilty! I deserve to die!"

Xiao Anzi's face was pale and his eunuch clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

He almost cried on the spot when he heard what Xue Youli said.

He had a bad feeling when Caiyun pointed at him just now.

Fortunately, Nanny Li found solid evidence of poison on Concubine Qiao, otherwise how could he have escaped so easily tonight?

The Imperial Garden was crowded with people, and Xue Youli's voice deepened. "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

"Yes!"

Xiao Anzi's legs were numb from kneeling, and he nearly fell when he got up from the ground. Fortunately, Banxia pulled him up in time, "Xiao Anzi, be steady!"

"Thank you, Sister Banxia."

Wait until the three of them, master and servant, return to Shuiyuexuan.

Xue Youli said to Xiao Zhongzi who was guarding the courtyard, "Xiao Zhongzi, close the door."

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhongzi took the order and closed the gate quickly.

Xue Youli stopped, raised his eyelids and looked at Xiao Anzi.

Before she could say anything, Xiao Anzi knelt down in front of her with a thud, "Master, I almost made a big mistake tonight. Please punish me!"

Xue Youli lowered her eyes and glanced at the person kneeling at her feet. "Do you know where you went wrong?"

Xiao Anzi was stunned for a moment, then replied, "I shouldn't have gone to the pavilion, let alone picked up the rabbit lantern!"

Because of his meddling, he almost implicated his master. Just thinking back on the scene at that time, he felt scared.

Seeing that he didn't even know where he was wrong, Xue Youli couldn't help but frown, "You didn't do anything wrong in helping the little princess pick up the rabbit lantern. Your mistake was being bewildered by Bi Tao!"

Xiao Anzi's pupils trembled, and he kowtowed hurriedly, "Master, I do have feelings for Miss Bitao, but I am innocent with her! If you don't believe me, I can swear to heaven!"

"I have no objection to you having feelings for her, but she took advantage of your affection and hid poison in you without you even knowing it. That's your fault!" Xue Youli stared at him, emphasizing each word. "If Princess Qinghe hadn't noticed something was wrong tonight and stolen the poison from you in time, it would have been you and me who were sent to the Criminal Prison!"
