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

Seeing that his daughter was still thinking about the emperor at this time, Jiang Rushui's brows immediately twisted into knots, "Oh! My precious daughter, you almost lost your life, and you still want to do something with the emperor?"

Ye Shixue pouted, her face as if it was a matter of course. "Mother, if it wasn't to enter the palace, why would I come to Longshou Mountain? If it wasn't to Longshou Mountain, how could I have been shot by an arrow? If I can't become the emperor's favorite concubine, how can I justify the half life I lost?"

Jiang Rushui's mind flashed when he heard this. "Those arrows must have been aimed at the emperor. You were bravely injured while saving the emperor. The emperor should be responsible for the rest of your life!"

Ye Shixue felt the dull pain in her buttocks and couldn't help but fantasize in her heart, "Mother, I am the emperor's savior. Will the emperor directly make me a concubine?"

Jiang Rushui rolled her eyes and said, "I'll ask your cousin to go and test the Emperor's opinion later. As long as the Emperor agrees, your entry into the palace will be a sure thing!"

Ye Shixue couldn't wait any longer and immediately urged her, "Mom, go now! If I don't get the emperor's reply today, I will definitely not be able to sleep well!"

"My dear daughter, take good care of your injuries. I'll go ask your cousin right away!"

"Go and come back!"

Ye Shixue lay at the head of the bed and watched her walk out.

However, just as Jiang Rushui reached the tent door, Xue Youli's voice came from outside the tent, "Aunt, my mother and I are here to see my cousin."

Although Jiang Rushui and her daughter are selfish and greedy, Jiang Ruyun felt a little guilty when she thought that Ye Shixue had become a living target instead of her daughter, so she took her daughter to visit Ye Shixue.

Seeing Xue Youli coming to her door, Jiang Rushui quickly opened the tent curtain to welcome them. "Your cousin was just talking about you, and I didn't expect you to come! Come in!"

Xue Youli and Jiang Ruyun walked into the tent one after another, and Banxia followed closely behind them.

When Jiang Ruyun came in, she looked up and saw Ye Shixue lying on the couch. "Shixue, how is your injury? What did the imperial physician say?"

Jiang Rushui quickly replied, "Sister, you have no idea how dangerous it was just now! Shixue almost lost her life trying to deflect the assassin's arrow for the Emperor! Shixue has been rewarded for saving the Emperor today. Can the Emperor make Shixue his concubine?"

Just now when they went to the palace to find Xue Youli, the mother and daughter were still pretending to be nice, but now they can't be reserved at all, and directly expose her ambition to send her daughter to the palace.

Jiang Ruyun frowned when she heard her ask so directly and looked at her daughter.

Xue Youli smiled slightly, "Aunt, what does my cousin's injury have to do with saving the emperor?"

Jiang Rushui was stunned. "Li'er, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the Emperor doesn't want to admit his guilt?"

Xue Youli replied, "Aunt, you were there just now, so you should know very well that those assassins were not targeting the emperor. So how can I claim that my cousin was a hero in saving him?"

Jiang Rushui didn't believe her and immediately raised her voice, "Those assassins weren't going after the emperor, so how could they be going after you?"

Xue Youli gave her a thumbs up and said, "Auntie is amazing. She actually guessed right away that the killer was coming for me."

"W-what?" Ye Shixue, lying on the bed, immediately lost her composure upon hearing this. "Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Why would an assassin go to such lengths just for you?"

Xue Youli met her wide eyes and suddenly lowered her voice with a serious expression, "Cousin, you should have heard that it's only been half a year since I entered the palace, and several of the concubines who entered the palace with me have already died!"

Ye Shixue choked when she heard this, not knowing what Xue Youli's intention was in suddenly bringing up this matter.

Not only had she heard the news that the concubines in the harem were sentenced to death, she had also secretly discussed it with her mother at home.

They all thought at the time that with Xue Youli's stupidity, she would definitely not survive more than three months in the harem.

Who would have thought that Xue Youli not only won the emperor's favor, but was also the fastest promoted among all the newcomers.

As we all know, Murong Che ascended the throne in a hurry and did not have time to appoint a queen.

Now the throne of queen is vacant, and Xue Youli is so favored, who knows, Murong Che might make her queen one day if he feels like it.

Although Ye Shixue looks very ordinary, she is very confident. She thinks Xue Youli is inferior to her in every aspect.

Even someone like Xue Youli can be favored after entering the palace, so what can't she do?

She is knowledgeable and talented, and she is more suitable to be the queen who rules the country than Xue Youli.

So, this time she discussed it with her mother and decided to enter the palace.

As soon as Xue Youli finished her last sentence, Jiang Rushui pricked up his ears and waited for her next words.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Xue Youli had no intention of continuing, she couldn't help but ask, "Li'er, how did those concubines die?"

Ye Shixue also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear what shocking secrets were going on in the harem. "Tell me quickly, how did they die?"

Xue Youli looked at their faces, as if they were waiting to eat melons. She pulled over a stool and sat down beside the bed. "Aunt and cousin, you don't know this, but the harem is actually a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. The concubines who died all wanted to be the mistress of the six palaces, but in the end some were strangled to death, some were drowned, and some were pushed into dry wells and starved to death. They died at such a young age, how pitiful."

Ye Shixue listened with great concentration, "Who is so bold as to commit such a crime in the harem? Doesn't the emperor care?"

Xue Youli made up a lie, "Oh no! The emperor is so busy, how can he manage it?"

At this point, she deliberately lowered her voice, "Actually, I also encountered an assassination attempt in the palace. If it weren't for my good luck, I would have been killed long ago!"

Ye Shixue and Jiang Rushui were stunned. "Impossible? You're the emperor's favorite concubine. Which assassin would dare to kill you in the palace? Are they really going to kill themselves?"

Xue Youli sighed, "Those assassins even dared to target the emperor, let alone me, a mere concubine."

Ye Shixue had actually already believed most of what she said, but she still insisted, "If the harem is really as dangerous as you say, why does everyone want to enter the palace and become a concubine?"

Seeing that she was determined to keep going, Xue Youli gave her a drastic measure, "Cousin, do you know why the assassin only shot you?"

Ye Shixue's heart skipped a beat when she asked, "Why?"

Xue Youli pointed at the hairpin on her head that she hadn't taken off yet, "Because you were wearing my clothes and my jewelry, the assassin mistakenly thought you were the emperor's favorite concubine, so he used you as a living target."

Ye Shixue was stunned for a long moment, still unable to accept this fact. "So, I didn't do anything meritorious for saving the emperor, but I suffered such a terrible punishment just because of this outfit?"

"Yes." Xue Youli nodded, then patted her chest, a look of lingering fear on her face. "In the harem, the higher you climb, the more enemies you have. There are countless people who want me dead. Today, thanks to my cousin who spilled the tea and took the initiative to change into my clothes, I was able to escape."

Ye Shixue regretted it so much. If she had known this would happen, she would not have been so cunning.

Before she could speak, Xue Youli continued, "Cousin, to express my gratitude, I've decided to give you all the clothes and jewelry you're wearing as compensation for your injury!"

"No!" Since Ye Shixue knew that the assassin was coming for Xue Youli, how could she dare to wear her things again?

As she spoke, she reached out and took off the jewelry on her head one by one. "Cousin, I'm your cousin. Saving you is my duty. I don't need any compensation! Besides, I have so much jewelry at home that I can't wear them all. Take them all back!"

Seeing her daughter was about to return all the jewelry to Xue Youli, Jiang Rushui immediately winked at her, "Shixue, your cousin is also worried about your injury, so please accept it."

Xue Youli's jewelry is all top-notch. If she takes any one of them to the pawnshop, it would probably be enough to cover her family's food and clothing expenses for a month.

Ye Shixue was injured for no reason because of Xue Youli, and these jewelry are what she deserves!

Ye Shixue had just narrowly escaped death from the assassin's arrow, and now that she had managed to survive, she had to live well.

These jewelries that almost cost her life must be unlucky for her!

So, she won't keep any of them!

The harem is also an unlucky place. After listening to Xue Youli's words, she has completely given up the idea of ​​entering the palace to compete for favor.

Thinking of this, Ye Shixue grabbed Jiang Rushui's hand and spoke with great emotion, "Mom, you are confused! Blood is thicker than water. My cousin and I have been close for over ten years. What's the point of taking an arrow for her? This is what I should do! Cousin, if you still recognize me as your cousin, take all the jewelry with you!"

When she was shot by the arrow, she saw her great-grandfather and great-grandmother waving at her!

She figured it out: no matter how much gold and silver jewelry she had, it would be useless if she didn't have the life to spend it!

She is afraid of death, and she will definitely stay away from Xue Youli from now on!
