She said, could she let him live a few more years?

Xue Youli probably wouldn't have thought that the man was indifferent to her pitiful words, but was obsessed with the last sentence in her heart.

Murong Che weighed the pros and cons and finally released his hand that was strangling her neck.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

The air suddenly choked his lungs, Xue Youli coughed, and reached out to touch his neck.

Fortunately, my neck was not broken and my life was not lost!

Murong Che's cold gaze swept across her neck, suppressing the anger in his chest.

With his temper, if there weren't so many mysteries about Xue Youli that made him curious, she would have been dead long ago!

He really wanted to find out how many secrets this woman was hiding that he didn't know about.

He wanted to know more, since he clearly hated women getting close to him, why was he an exception for her, and could even touch her and hear her inner voice?

However, his right cheek still hurts slightly. If he continues to let Xue Youli hang around under his nose, he is afraid that he will not be able to control himself and want to strangle her to death.

"Wang Defa."

Murong Che turned his head and called out to the outside of the hall.

Wang Defa immediately pushed the door open and walked in, "I'm here."

"Send Lady Xue back."

As the only person serving Murong Che closely, Wang Defa knew that the man was angry just by glancing at his tense face.

He quickly bent down and replied respectfully, "Yes."

Just now on the way back from the Imperial Garden, the Emperor and Concubine Xue were so affectionate. How come Concubine Xue made the Emperor unhappy in just a moment?

But even though I have doubts, I dare not say them, and I dare not ask them!

"I'll take my leave!"

Xue Youli had finally managed to save her life, and she wished she could disappear from the man's sight immediately.

After paying her respects, she left the hall without looking back, fearing that the man would change his mind if she delayed for a second.

It was only the second day in the palace and it was so thrilling.

Luckily, she's smart enough. If it was her best friend who traveled into the novel, she probably wouldn't have survived three episodes!

?

In the evening, Wang Defa respectfully stopped in front of the table and said, "Your Majesty, the names of all the new palace masters have been prepared."

As he spoke, he held out a tray of green cards for the man to choose from.

Murong Che touched his right cheek. Even though the red mark on his face had faded, he was still in a bad mood. "I'm very busy today. I'm going out."

"Yes."

Wang Defa realized that the man had no interest in going to the harem and was about to leave when Murong Che suddenly remembered something and called out to him, "Wait."

Wang Defa immediately stopped and waited for the man's instructions.

"Quietly find someone smart enough to keep an eye on Lady Xue in Lingyun Palace. Report any signs of trouble to me immediately."

After Wang Defa left, Murong Che continued to work at his desk.

Nearly half an hour had passed, and the memorial in his hand remained untouched, but Xue Youli kept coming to his mind from time to time.

He took a piece of paper, wrote Xue Youli's name, and then tapped the table three times with his fingers, neither light nor heavy.

Soon, two figures in black attire appeared silently, "Your Majesty."

Murong Che pushed the piece of paper with Xue Youli's name on it to the table. "Go investigate this person immediately. I want all her information within one day."

"Yes!"

After the two took the note, they disappeared in a flash.

These two people are Xuanming and Chiyan, the leaders of the secret guard organization under Murong Che - Dragon Shadow Guard.

Not only are they responsible for Murong Che's personal safety, but they also have a powerful intelligence network at their disposal.

Early the next morning, all the concubines in the palace received the news that Murong Che did not turn over anyone's name card.

In order to handle state affairs, he was busy for most of the night and finally stayed overnight in Zicheng Palace.

Xue Qingyao couldn't help but sneer when she learned that Xue Youli was kicked out of Zicheng Palace in disgrace by Murong Che yesterday.

I thought she was so amazing, but it turns out I overestimated her!

Having lived a second life, he thought he knew Murong Che very well.

Xue Youli had no idea that Murong Che was not a king who could be easily seduced by beauty. If she wanted to attract his attention, she had to find another way.

In fact, before she came of age, Xue Youli didn't want Murong Che to turn her card over even more than Xue Qingyao did.

However, whatever you fear will come true.

In the evening, after Xue Youli had dinner, he took Banxia and two palace maids for a walk in the courtyard of Lingyun Palace to help digest the food.

Jixiang said indignantly, "Master, you don't know that many people in the harem are gossiping about you today, saying that you overestimated your abilities and tried to climb onto the emperor's bed yesterday, and that the emperor kicked you out of Zicheng Palace."

Banxia couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. "Jixiang, didn't we agree that no one is allowed to mention this matter in front of the master? There are so many people in the harem, and there are always some annoying people who like to talk nonsense, and they don't care if the wind blows their tongues away!"

Jixiang curled his lips and said, "I am also speaking up for my master. These people dare to be so unscrupulous. Don't they think our master has no hope of winning favor?"

Banxia retorted unconvincedly, "This is only my third day in the palace. There's a lot of time ahead, and our master's blessings are yet to come!"

"You guys, please stop talking."

Ruyi is the oldest and most stable of the three. "Master, you don't have to take the rumors outside to heart. Banxia is right. We still have a long time to live. Accepting the emperor's favor later is not necessarily a bad thing, but accepting the emperor's favor too early is not necessarily a good thing either."

Seeing Ruyi's understanding, Xue Youli smiled and said, "You're right. There's no need to rush some things. What's meant to come will eventually come."

Among the newcomers entering the palace this time, many have higher status than her, and they haven't even served the emperor in bed yet. If she were to be the first one to serve him in bed, wouldn't all the women in the harem regard her as a thorn in their eyes?

She doesn't have nine lives, so she'll just stay alive for now.

After all, she slapped Murong Che yesterday. She should keep a low profile these days and wait until the man has forgotten what happened yesterday before taking action.

And at this moment, Zicheng Palace.

Before Wang Defa even brought the green card, Murong Che gave the order, "Get ready. I will go to Lingyun Palace tonight."

Wang Defa immediately asked, "Your Majesty, there are two young ladies living in Lingyun Palace. Are you going to..."

Murong Che glanced over, his tone unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, "What do you think?"

After just three words, Wang Defa knew what was going on. "It was me who spoke too much."

Yesterday in Zicheng Palace, the emperor drove away Concubine Xue. He thought that Concubine Xue had annoyed the emperor.

During the day, many concubines in the harem were wondering whose name the emperor would choose for the newcomer's first bed.

Among them, the Empress Dowager's niece Yin Zhaoyi and Song Taifu's granddaughter Song Zhaoyi had the highest voices. At the very least, it should be Lanpin sent by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.

Who would have thought that the emperor would choose Concubine Xue?

Lingyun Palace, Shuiyue Pavilion.

Xue Youli took off her clothes and just sat in the bathtub, ready to take a flower petal bath and go to sleep, when she heard hurried footsteps.

"Master, great news!"

Banxia excitedly pushed open the door of the bathroom and told her excitedly, "Someone from Zicheng Palace came to tell us that the emperor will be coming to our place tonight!"
