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

After Xue Youli watched Murong Che leave, she yawned and walked towards the bed.

"Finally, I can sleep."

She thought that without the pressure of work and job evaluation here, she could live a happier life.

The results of it?

She has to work overtime every night to treat the emperor. If this continues, she will start to smell like an office worker again.

Get your beauty sleep.

After all, her beauty is her weapon in palace fighting, so she has to take good care of it!

……

Minghua Hall, Tianxiang Pavilion.

When Murong Che appeared in the bedroom, he was followed by Doctor Cheng carrying a medicine box.

Xue Qingyao was lying in bed. When she heard the noise, she forced herself to sit up, "Your Majesty... cough cough..."

Before she could even get out of bed, Biyu, who was standing by her side, supported her. "Master, you've been ill for several days. Please take care of yourself!"

"I look so sick that I can't perform the ceremony. Your Majesty, please... cough cough..." Xue Qingyao began weakly. Before she could finish her words, she started coughing violently. After a long pause, she said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Lady Xue is seriously ill. Just lie down." Murong Che glanced at her and turned to order, "Doctor Cheng, take a look at Lady Xue. What's wrong with her?"

"The minister obeys the order."

Doctor Cheng stepped forward and carefully took Xue Qingyao's pulse, and found that she had no serious illness.

Xue Qingyao saw that Doctor Cheng frowned, looking as if he didn't know how to start. She covered her chest and said weakly, "Doctor Cheng, I have a tight chest and a headache... cough cough..."

Doctor Cheng looked at her pale face covered in a thick layer of powder and could only bite the bullet and make up a lie, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue's pulse is weak, her qi and blood are deficient, and she has been feeling cold morning and night lately. Perhaps she has caught a cold. With careful care for a period of time, she will recover."

When the previous emperor was in power, there were many concubines in the harem, and many women liked to pretend to be sick in order to win favor.

Doctor Cheng was already accustomed to this kind of thing.

Murong Che heard the hidden meaning in his words, and narrowed his amber eyes. He said meaningfully, "Doctor Cheng's medical skills are superb. Will he be able to make Lady Xue recover quickly?"

Doctor Cheng was an old and shrewd doctor, and he quickly replied, "I will write a prescription right away, and I guarantee the disease will be cured!"

Murong Che raised his eyebrows. "With just medicine, are you sure Lady Xue's condition can be cured in such a short time?"

Doctor Cheng understood immediately, "I'm afraid acupuncture will be needed as a supplement."

"Wang Defa, leave two people to guard Tianxiang Pavilion and assist Imperial Physician Cheng in treating Concubine Xue."

"The slave obeys the order."

It was said that someone was left to serve, but in fact he was there to supervise Xue Qingyao and ensure that she cooperated with the treatment.

Murong Che knew that she was pretending to be sick, and he didn't point it out because he wanted her to suffer the consequences.

Xue Qingyao's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she forced a weak smile. "I am not on the list for this autumn hunt. It doesn't matter when I recover. Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for Doctor Cheng... ahem..."

Murong Che's cold and indifferent eyes fell on her face, and he smiled gently, "Miss Xue wants to go autumn hunting?"

Xue Qingyao didn't dare to play hard to get at this time.

She had to seize the opportunity to leave the palace in order to meet Murong Ye. "I heard that there will be foreign envoys in this autumn hunt. If I perform well in the autumn hunt and spread my good reputation throughout the nine continents, it will also be a happy event for the glorious family. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty. I will not let you down... ahem..."

Seeing her coughing so hard that her face turned red and her neck thick, Murong Che naturally wanted to help her. "It is hard for Lady Xue to drag her sick body and still want to win glory for the country. I will fulfill your wish and allow you to participate in the autumn hunt."

Xue Qingyao was overwhelmed with emotion when she saw that her self-torture trick had worked. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Murong Che turned his gaze and said, "Doctor Cheng, there are only a few days left until the Autumn Hunt. You don't have much time left."

General Yu's army of nearly 100,000 is still on the way, and the specific time of the autumn hunting has not yet been determined. How come there are only a few days left?

However, Imperial Physician Cheng immediately recognized the emperor's intentions and said, "Although I am not very talented, my acupuncture skills are superb. Combined with the cold-treating decoction, I will definitely be able to cure Lady Xue's illness."

"I've heard that the thicker the needles used in acupuncture, the better the effect. If you treat me with care and succeed, I'll reward you handsomely."

Murong Che thought of the treatment bottleneck that Xue Youli mentioned, walked to the bed, and extended his hand to Xue Qingyao.

In the entire harem, he was only not allergic to Xue Youli and Xue Qingyao.

However, before his hand even touched Xue Qingyao, it seemed to have its own consciousness and froze in mid-air, unwilling to move any further.

Xue Qingyao looked at the hand above her head, not understanding what Murong Che meant.

But judging by his actions, he must be trying to comfort himself.

She rolled her eyes and spoke delicately, "Your Majesty..."

Before she could even begin to act coquettishly, Murong Che had already withdrawn his hand, "Wang Defa, please return to the Hall of Eternal Life."

Forget it, I really can't do it. I'll have to let Xue Youli think of another way to cure the disease.

Imperial Physician Cheng quickly bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."

Xue Qingyao looked at the man's back as he left, lowered her eyelids, and a trace of desperate viciousness flashed across her eyes.

Murong Che was reluctant to touch her, probably because he was worried that he would pass on his illness to him.

So, she has to act quickly!

As long as I can participate in the autumn hunt, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little.

In the hunting ground, knives and arrows are indiscriminate. If Xue Youli is accidentally shot to death by an arrow, it can only be considered her bad luck.

Before leaving, Murong Che asked Wang Defa to leave his two apprentices, Xiaodongzi and Xiaoxizi, in Minghua Palace to assist Doctor Cheng in treating Xue Qingyao.

Doctor Cheng figured out Murong Che's intention in his last words and took out a thick, long silver needle from his medicine box. "Lady Xue, since you have a headache and chest tightness, I will treat you with acupuncture."

How could one take seriously the illness Xue Qingyao just made up in front of Murong Che?

She rolled her eyes and ordered him to leave, "Doctor Cheng, I feel much better after the emperor came to see me. My headache and chest tightness are gone. I won't bother you with acupuncture anymore."

"How about that?"

Doctor Cheng said righteously, "Madam Xue, you must not be afraid to seek medical treatment. Acupuncture with silver needles will help you recover."

Xue Qingyao looked at the long silver needle in his hand, her pupils tightened, "No, I don't want it...Ah! What are you doing?"

Before she could finish her words, Xiaodongzi and Xiaoxizi came forward, each grabbed one of her arms, and pushed her to the edge of the bed, "Doctor Cheng, please give me acupuncture!"

Doctor Cheng looked at Xue Qingyao, whose arm was restrained, and warned her, "Lady Xue, acupuncture with silver needles can promote blood circulation and greatly benefit your condition. If you struggle and the needle hits the wrong point, you could be paralyzed at best, or even die."

As soon as he said this, Xue Qingyao immediately became obedient and lay down on the head of the bed, not daring to move anymore.

So, Doctor Cheng inserted the silver needle into the acupuncture point on the top of her head.

"Ah!" Xue Qingyao screamed in pain as severe pain came.

Doctor Cheng knew that the emperor was punishing Concubine Xue for feigning illness, so he showed no mercy and inserted the second and third silver needles into Xue Qingyao's head.

Xue Qingyao was in excruciating pain, living and dying again.

However, her arms were held tightly by two young eunuchs, and she lay on the edge of the bed, unable to move. She could only grit her teeth and endure the severe pain.

An unknown amount of time passed before Imperial Physician Cheng removed the acupuncture needles from her. "Madam Xue, please take a good rest. I will return to the Imperial Hospital to see if the medicine is ready."

Xue Qingyao was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweats and collapsed on the bed.

When the Imperial Hospital brought the decocted medicine over, Biyu was about to take the bowl of medicine when she was stopped by Xiao Dongzi.

"Lady Xue, please take your medicine."

Xue Qingyao looked up at the dark medicine in the bowl and frowned in disgust, "Put the medicine aside for now. I'll drink it later."

Xiao Dongzi and Xiao Xizi exchanged a glance. Xiao Dongzi took the medicine bowl and stepped forward, "Lady Xue, the medicine is still warm. If it gets cold, its effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

Since the emperor has left a message, she has no right to decide whether to drink the medicine or not.

Seeing that they were not giving in, Xue Qingyao said in a cold tone, "I don't want to drink now."

"Lady Xue, the emperor specifically instructed us to help you take the medicine. Please don't make it difficult for us!"

How dare they use chicken feathers as a token of authority and use the emperor to pressure her?

Xue Qingyao didn't believe that the two young eunuchs, whose hair hadn't even fully grown yet, would dare to do anything to her. "I don't want to drink... gulp gulp..."

Just as she started to say no, Xiao Xizi suddenly reached out and grabbed her face, forcing her to keep her mouth open.

Xiao Dongzi seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and poured the medicine directly into her mouth.

The two of them cooperated well with each other, their movements were smooth, simple and rough.

The thick dark brown medicine was poured into Xue Qingyao's mouth. The bitter taste flowed down her throat into her stomach, making her feel so uncomfortable that she almost vomited on the spot.

After finishing the medicine, Xiao Xizi released the hand that was holding Xue Qingyao, "Lady Xue has finished drinking all the medicine. We will go back and report now."

After the two left, Biyu rushed to the bedside and asked, "Master, how are you?"

Xue Qingyao raised her hand and wiped away the medicine that had flowed out of the corner of her mouth. "It's okay! I won't die... Ugh... Ugh..."

Her stomach churned and she dry-heaved for a long time, but nothing came out.

Xue Qingyao fell weakly on the bed, recalling the scenes that had happened since she entered the palace.

She originally thought that if she lived longer she would be able to easily defeat Murong Che, but she ended up running into Xue Youli and encountered obstacles everywhere.

Even the little eunuch dared to take advantage of his power and humiliate her like this!

Looking at the entire harem, her appearance and scheming are not inferior to anyone else!

But as long as Xue Youli is around, she will always be overshadowed!

She was unwilling to be inferior to others, and her hatred for Xue Youli had already reached its peak. She was almost crazy wanting to kill Xue Youli!

But why can’t Xue Youli be killed no matter how hard he tries?

She even felt that Xue Youli was more like a reborn person than she was. He knew every one of her plans very well, as if he had the ability to predict the future.

Xue Qingyao had only guessed before, but after experiencing so many failures, she became more and more certain of her inference.

It is impossible for a human to have such great ability. Xue Youli must be possessed by a ghost!

The hateful thing is that she can't reveal Xue Youli's true face!

Based on her understanding of Murong Che, that stupid man would not only not believe her, but would even think that she was misleading people.

She didn't dare to gamble, for she was afraid that Murong Che would kill her at the instigation of Xue Youli.

However, what if Xue Youli's body was taken over by a ghost?

No one can stop her from taking revenge!

At worst, she would kill gods and ghosts if she met one, and let Xue Youli die again!

?

On the ninth day of the ninth month, the news that General Yu had led his army to the capital spread throughout the harem.

Banxia, ​​the clever little girl, was the first to find out the news about the Nanzhao envoy.

"Master, I heard that the Nanzhao envoys brought two princesses with them to the capital! They want to marry the princesses to the emperor, establish an alliance between the two countries, and improve the relationship between Qin and Jin!"
