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

As early as when he discovered the poisonous insect in the blood amber, Xue Youli used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to read about the customs and habits of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Nanzhao is located at the southernmost part of Jiuzhou and is a small country with an area of ​​only one-fifth of Jiuzhou.

There has always been a mysterious legend about the Nanzhao Kingdom circulating among the people, saying that the Nanzhao people were good at making poisonous insects, which could not only control people's souls, but also kill people invisibly.

However, the process of making the Gu worm is extremely complicated, and if you are not careful, it will backfire on the owner, so even the people of Nanzhao will not use Gu easily.

After the death of the previous emperor, the Nanzhao Kingdom thought that the political situation in Jiuzhou was unstable and repeatedly invaded the southern border of Jiuzhou. After Murong Che ascended the throne, he immediately sent General Yu to suppress the rebellion.

The Yu family army and the Nanzhao army were in a stalemate for more than half a year, and finally defeated the Nanzhao army completely.

In order to demonstrate its sincerity in the peace talks, Nanzhao sent General Meng Shi to bring two princesses with him to marry.

At this moment, Xue Youli glanced at Banxia and curled his lips with interest, "The King of Nanzhao is really generous. He actually sent two daughters at once."

Seeing her indifferent expression, Banxia said anxiously, "Master, I've heard that the people of Nanzhao all make poisonous insects. Once poisoned, their minds will be bewildered, becoming no different from puppets! If the two princesses enter the palace and plant the love poison in the emperor, wouldn't the emperor be completely obedient to them?"

Xue Youli couldn't help but laugh at the serious expression on her face, "Where did you hear this rumor? Love Gu?"

Seeing that she didn't take her words seriously at all, Banxia became anxious, "Master, these are not rumors, they are true! Those Nanzhao people can spit out poisonous creatures like snakes, centipedes, scorpions, etc. with just one mouthful. It's terrifying!"

"Don't exaggerate." Xue Youli met her gaze and chuckled. "There are indeed people in Nanzhao who are good at making Gu, but not everyone can do it. Only a few gifted Gu breeders can refine Gu worms. And controlling Gu worms is not easy. Even if they want to hurt people, they have to consider the consequences of losing control of the Gu worms first."

"Is that so?" Banxia raised her hand and scratched her forehead, her eyes filled with confusion. "Some people say that Gu worms are very scary. Once you get one in your body, you're dead. Even a Daluo Immortal can't save you!"

anyone?

Xue Youli grasped the key point of her words, "Who spread these rumors in the harem?"

Such rumors spread in the harem before the envoys from Nanzhao even stepped into the city gate. It was obvious that someone was doing it on purpose.

Before the two princesses of Nanzhao entered the palace, rumors were spread to build momentum for them and intimidate everyone.

Banxia was stunned for a moment, shrinking her neck and saying, "Everyone in the harem is talking about Nanzhao right now. Just hearing about those poisons and witchcraft makes my hair stand on end."

Xue Youli comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of the poisonous insects."

Banxia looked at her master and felt much more at ease. "Master, you are both intelligent and skilled in medicine. I will definitely be safe by your side!"

After discussing Nanzhao's Gu, she thought of something more important. "Oh, by the way, the eldest young master is back! He also made great contributions in defeating Nanzhao this time! Now the emperor is leading all the civil and military officials to the city gate to welcome the soldiers who have returned triumphantly from Southern Xinjiang!"

The 'young master' she was referring to was Xue Wuji. Back then, General Yu Hongyi saw that he had excellent physique and was a good candidate for martial arts, so he accepted him as his apprentice.

Later, Xue Wuji took part in the military examination and won the first place, then became a fierce general under Yu Hongyi.

He has been away from home for so long and finally he is back.

Xue Youli was looking forward to meeting this elder brother who was both talented in literature and martial arts.

……

Three days later, after the Nanzhao envoys who had come from afar had rested, Murong Che led his ministers to Longshou Mountain and hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys.

This time, many princes, ministers, and noble ladies in the court can accompany the emperor as long as they are proficient in riding and shooting.

Regardless of the status of legitimate or illegitimate children.

The banquet was held in the main hall of the palace. Princes and ministers sat in attendance, while concubines and noble ladies from aristocratic families were seated separately on the right side of the hall.

After everyone took their seats, the ceremonial officer loudly announced, "Announce the Nanzhao envoys to the emperor—"

A middle-aged man wearing exotic clothes and a turban walked into the hall, followed by two young girls of outstanding appearance.

[Name: Meng Shi, 35 years old, general of the Nanzhao Kingdom.]

[Name: Lan Zheng, 18 years old, the fourth princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom.]

[Name: Lan Luo, 16 years old, the seventh princess of the Nanzhao Kingdom.]

Xue Youli glanced at their ID cards and carefully looked at the two princesses behind Meng Shi.

They are fair-skinned and beautiful, with gems and silver ornaments on their headdresses complementing each other. The layered hems of their skirts are inlaid with silver silk threads, which sway gently as they walk, reflecting sparkling light like waves.

Even after removing his armor, Meng Shi still exuded a murderous aura. "Nanzhao envoy Meng Shi and two princesses come to pay their respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Jiuzhou!"

The two princesses following behind him also saluted, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Listening to their fluent Jiuzhou dialect, Chu Xinyue, who was sitting next to Xue Youli, couldn't help but complain, "It seems that the King of Nanzhao has long planned to arrange marriages for his two daughters. Judging from the fluency of their speech, they are at least at the eighth level of Jiuzhou Mandarin."

Xue Youli replied, "It's not just Nanzhao. Many small countries in our history have been like this. Marriage is the cheapest way to quell war. After all, sacrificing a woman's lifelong happiness can buy peace for the people of their country for several years, even decades."

Chu Xinyue's gaze fell on Princess Nanzhao and she sighed softly, "These women who were forced into marriages are also pitiful people."

"There's nothing I can do. Born into the royal family, since I enjoy a life of luxury, I naturally have to shoulder the responsibilities of being a royal child."

Chu Xinyue shrugged, "I don't think I have the right to sympathize with them. My own marriage was also granted by the emperor."

"I seriously doubt you're in Versailles. Murong Nan is so good. Not only is he simple, but you're the only princess in his palace. Unlike me, I have to battle wits and courage with a group of women every day when I open my eyes."

Chu Xinyue almost laughed out loud when she heard Xue Youli say that. "Happiness really comes from comparison. I really do live a very comfortable life in the palace!"

Sitting on the main seat, Murong Che said gently, "General Meng and the two princesses, there is no need to be so polite. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Shi stood up, pointed at Lan Zheng and Lan Luo behind him, and said straight to the point, "This time, our king sent his two most beloved princesses to Jiuzhou Kingdom in the hope of establishing an everlasting friendship with Jiuzhou!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xinyue turned to look at Xue Youli with an apologetic look on her face. "Ali, the two princesses sent by Nanzhao Kingdom are not easy to deal with. After they enter the palace, the difficulty of your palace fighting will increase again."

Xue Youli said indifferently, "It's hard to say whether they can enter the palace smoothly."

The Book of Heaven's Secrets reveals that the fourth princess, Lan Zheng, is a love-brained person and likes Murong Ye.

It was Murong Ye who instructed her to come and propose marriage.

Murong Ye planned to let her enter the palace to help Xue Qingyao consolidate her favor.

It has to be said that Chu Xinyue gave the male protagonist a handsome face that was created by nature, which made it convenient for Murong Ye to cast a wide net by relying on his looks and hook up with so many women to achieve his great cause.

How is he not considered a successful Aquaman?
