The woman in black slowly pulled off the black veil covering her face. "Ye Lang, I heard you were injured. I can't move around during the day, so I had to come see you now when no one is around."

The person who came was Xue Qingyao. After receiving the news during the day that Murong Ye was frightened and fell off the horse, she realized belatedly that she had fallen into Xue Youli's trap!

She was sure that Xue Youli had tampered with the fodder!

In her previous life, whatever she did in the harem went smoothly.

However, ever since the variable Xue Youli appeared, her carefully planned schemes were easily broken every time!

What kind of monster is this woman?

In the darkness, Murong Ye stared at the figure standing at the end of the bed, a cold look flashing in his eyes, "Do you know why I was injured?"

He referred to himself as 'this King', clearly disappointed in her.

Xue Qingyao heard the man's questioning tone and immediately rushed to the bedside, "Ye Lang, listen to my explanation! All of this is Xue Youli's fault! She switched my poison and even sprinkled it on your horse's fodder. She did all this..."

"enough!"

Seeing that she was like a mad woman, Murong Ye pushed all the blame onto Xue Youli, "I personally handed you the poison. How did Xue Youli know about our secret conversation, and how did he switch the poison without anyone noticing?"

Xue Qingyao's nose stung at his yelling, and the grievances that had been pent up in her heart for many days finally burst out. "I know you don't believe it, but it's the truth! As soon as you left the banyan tree yesterday, Xue Youli showed up. She shot me with an arrow and pretended to fall. I guess she switched the poison you gave me at that time."

At this point, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Not only that, Xue Youli seems to be able to predict the future. Every time, no matter how carefully we plan, she always turns the situation around at the first moment, turning a dead end into a living one, and even turning the tables!"

Murong Ye sneered, and the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye also revealed a bit of coldness. "This only shows that she is a very smart and cautious woman. It also shows that you are not as skilled as her."

Not as good as others?

These four words were like an invisible sharp blade, piercing Xue Qingyao's heart fiercely, causing her to suffer excruciating pain and bleed profusely!

Xue Qingyao heard it, and Murong Ye believed that she was not as strategic and resourceful as Xue Youli.

She forced a wry smile, as if she was heartbroken. "You don't believe what I said? Xue Youli is really weird!"

"So, you secretly hired a killer to kill her?"

Xue Qingyao was stunned. "You, know everything?"

Murong Ye sneered, "With such a big commotion this afternoon, it's hard for me not to know about it!"

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the murder, Xue Qingyao simply admitted, "Yes! It was me who took the initiative to hire someone to kill Xue Youli! After all, Xue Youli is the biggest threat to me in the entire harem. This time she is out of the palace, so of course I want Longshou Mountain to be her burial place! Doesn't Ye Lang want to kill her?"

Doesn’t Murong Ye want to kill Xue Youli?

He gave the poison to Xue Qingyao because he wanted to use the horse to create an accident. Even if Xue Youli couldn't be killed, she would be crippled!

The results of it?

The one going crazy in the woods today was actually his horse!

If he wasn't so skilled and quick-witted, how could it be just a scratch on his calf?

Murong Ye took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He realized that his tone was too harsh just now, and immediately whispered to comfort Xue Qingyao, "I'm not blaming you. Xue Youli is indeed not simple. I'm just afraid that you will expose yourself."

Xue Qingyao saw his tone soften and sniffed aggrievedly, "I hired someone to kill her because I wanted to give you a surprise, but unfortunately, those useless killers only shot an insignificant woman. It was wrong of me to act rashly without consulting you. I will never do that again."

Murong Ye's narrow black eyes slowly narrowed. "Since ordinary methods can't kill Xue Youli, why not let the person closest to her do the killing for us?"

Xue Qingyao was stunned for a moment, then something occurred to her, and a glimmer of excitement flashed in her eyes, "You planted one of our people next to her?"

"That's not true."

After all, at the beginning, Murong Ye didn't take Xue Youli seriously.

He always thought that Xue Qingyao's biggest rivals after entering the palace would be Yin Xuan'er, the daughter of Duke Shen, and Song Jingsi, the granddaughter of Tutor Song.

As a result, Xue Youli, the daughter of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing, who was a low-key person, stood out among the noble ladies.

Xue Qingyao's eyes dimmed instantly when she heard the negative answer, "The servants around Xue Youli are all her trusted followers. They are stubborn and there is no way to persuade them to rebel.

She once tried to bribe the people around Xue Youli, but those palace servants were loyal to Xue Youli and refused to work for her no matter how much money she offered.

Murong Ye was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "I see that Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue are closest. If Chu Xinyue suddenly tries to kill Xue Youli one day, Xue Youli will definitely not be on guard against Chu Xinyue, right?"

Xue Qingyao thought he had some clever tricks up his sleeve.

Before, when Chu Xinyue just came back from Jinghua Temple, she did show her goodwill to her, and went to Lingyun Palace every few days to cause trouble for Xue Youli.

Xue Qingyao later realized that it was all a show that the two of them deliberately put on in front of others.

In fact, they are both fine!

Xue Qingyao had no doubt that if Xue Youli wanted to kill someone, Chu Xinyue would definitely sharpen the knife for her!

How could such a Chu Xinyue kill Xue Youli?

"Ye Lang, since you're not in the palace, you might not know how close Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue are."

Murong Ye replied lightly, "No matter how good our relationship is, it doesn't matter. As long as she is controlled by the puppet Gu, she will become a puppet that obeys orders!"

Puppet Gu?

Although Xue Qingyao had heard of Nanzhao's poisonous insects in her previous life, she had never seen a puppet poisonous insect with her own eyes.

"Does this kind of Gu really exist in the world?"

Murong Ye didn't answer her question, but curled his lips faintly, "One day when Xue Youli suddenly dies at the hands of Chu Xinyue, you will know whether it is true or not."

I hope the puppet Gu is as powerful as Murong Ye said.

Then she can rest easy.

"Okay, I'm waiting for good news from Ye Lang!"

Xue Qingyao came quietly and left quietly.

After she left, Murong Ye took out a silver whistle from his arms and blew it gently.

The sound of the whistle is very similar to the sound of birds singing.

Even if someone heard it, they would just think it was a bird flying over the camp at night.

He blew the whistle only once and then put it away.

Not long after, the sound of light footsteps was heard outside his tent again.

Then a slender figure flashed into his tent as quickly as a civet cat.

"Ye Lang, you worried me to death!"

This time, the woman who came to see him was the fourth princess of Nanzhao, Lan Zheng.

If Xue Youyou and Chu Xinyue knew that he was still so busy despite being injured in bed, they would definitely praise him.

Murong Ye is a true master of time management!

……

Murong Nan's tent was not far from Murong Ye's tent.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Chu Xinyue woke up from her sleep.

She turned her head to look at Murong Nan, who was sleeping soundly with his pillow in his arms, and kicked him awake. "Did you hear any strange noises?"

"Ayue, what sound are you making?"

Murong Nan was half asleep. He raised his hand to rub his sleepy eyes, and his handsome face had a dazed expression.

Seeing that he couldn't even open his eyes, Chu Xinyue simply reached out and pinched the flesh on her arm and twisted it hard.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Murong Nan was in so much pain that he crowed like a rooster on the spot, but he was much more awake.

He pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but it was quiet outside, without a sound at all.

"Ayue, did you hear that voice in your dream?"

"No, I heard it clearly!" Chu Xinyue frowned slightly and said firmly, "The sound is a bit like a bird, but it is definitely not a bird!"

"Ayue, that's how it is at night in the mountains. There are so many wild animals, and all sorts of noises. I remember a few years ago when I went hunting in the mountains, I heard a bird's cry that sounded like a baby crying."

Seeing that there was no sound outside, Chu Xinyue thought that she might have misheard. "Got it, shut up and go to sleep."

"Ayue, give me a kiss!" Murong Nan was pinched by her and all his sleepiness disappeared.

He turned sideways, looking at her with his handsome eyes moistly, "Ayue~Ayue~Ayue~"

Chu Xinyue felt that he looked like a deer lost in the woods. Her heart softened and she moved forward to kiss him on the face.

However, when her lips were about to fall, Murong Nan deliberately turned his face away.

So, her lips were pressed against his.

Murong Nan hugged her waist and deepened the kiss.

Chu Xinyue didn't know why Murong Nan, a pure little boy, became so good at serving people after he started having sex.

But his service was very good, and she was happy to enjoy it, so she let him do whatever he wanted...
