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

"Xuan!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Che stopped looking at the memorial in his hand and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

When the familiar figure walked towards him, he immediately stood up from behind the desk, "Ali!"

Although she was not in the palace only yesterday, he felt as if he had not seen her for a long time.

He looked Xue Youli up and down from head to toe, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe and sound.

Although he knew that Chu Xinyue and Xuan Ming would protect her, Murong Che was still worried because she was out of his sight.

Xue Youli bowed slightly towards the man and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

However, before she could finish her ceremony, Murong Che reached out his big hand and pulled her into his arms.

Xue Youli felt the arm around her waist tightening around her, and couldn't help but raise her hand to push him away. "Your Majesty, you're holding me too tight. I can't breathe."

[Why did Murong Che suddenly hug me? It's so cheesy, it's driving me crazy!]

[Isn't he worried about me? As a qualified concubine, shouldn't I act flattered at this moment?]

[It's hard for other concubines to even see him, yet I complain that he's hugging me too tightly. Isn't that a bit ungrateful?]

Murong Che listened to her twisting thoughts and rubbed her hair in amusement. "You've been outside the palace for two days. Are you hurt?"

"No, Princess Qinghe and the Dragon Shadow Guards have protected me very well."

Xue Youli shook her head slightly, feeling very sad when she thought of Chu Xinyue still lying in bed. "It's just that Princess Qinghe was injured while trying to help me get the adoption record book from the Charity Bureau."

If I hadn't underestimated Murong Ye's judgment, if I hadn't underestimated Night Crow's fighting ability, Ah Yue wouldn't have been injured at all.

Murong Che raised his hand and stroked her cheek, soothing her softly, "Ali, don't blame yourself. You've done very well. Xuanming just sent a message back to the palace. They've notified the families of all the missing children to go to the government office to pick them up. Most of the children who were abducted to Xunhuanlou have been claimed, but there are two who have not been claimed."

Xue Youli looked up at the man, "Which two?"

"One of them was a young man with amnesia. He only remembered his name as Wang Dali, and there was no information about his family in the previous files. The other girl was named A Yan. The police went to the address she gave, only to discover that the family who once lived there had moved away long ago."

"I know both of them." Xue Youli paused and briefly told Murong Che what happened in Xunhuan Tower last night. "They helped us rescue all the children last night."

But when she heard Murong Che say that there were only the two of them and no family members to pick them up, she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

If only one person's family lost contact, that would be understandable.

However, it is too much of a coincidence that others have families to claim them, but they have nowhere to go.

Murong Che glared at her, "So, how do you want to place them?"

Xue Youli thought for a moment and replied, "Let's first ask the two children what they want. If they have somewhere they want to go, then respect their choice. If they have nowhere to go, I'll think about how to accommodate them."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Murong Che had just finished talking about these children with Xue Youli when Chi Yan quietly avoided all the guards and climbed through the window into Zicheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, something happened to Tang Renyi!"

Xue Youli couldn't help but frown when he heard this, "He's dead?"

Murong Ye moves really fast.

Chi Yan nodded. "Tang Renyi was fine this morning, but he suddenly started convulsing and foaming at the mouth after lunch. By the time the jailer came to check on him, he was already dead."

Murong Che had long expected that Murong Ye would not sit still and wait for death, and he never thought that he could kill him all at once by relying on the missing children case.

From the moment Murong Ye registered Xunhuanlou under Tang Renyi's name, Tang Renyi was destined to be his scapegoat.

"I understand. Tang Renyi deserved death. Now that he's dead, let the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple close the case."

Murong Ye never showed up in the adoption matter, and all the procedures were handled in the name of Tang Renyi.

Now that Tang Renyi is dead, even if we continue to investigate, we will not be able to find any evidence against Murong Ye.

"Yes!"

Chi Yan received the order and disappeared in the hall in a flash.

The case of the missing child has been solved, and Xue Youli has contributed to this.

Murong Che glanced sideways and returned his gaze to Xue Youli's face. "Ali, you have helped me so much this time. What do you want?"

Xue Youli thought for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask for a favor from you."

"You said."

"Speaking of which, most of the credit for convicting Tang Renyi this time goes to Princess Qinghe. Thanks to her, I was able to successfully steal the adoption records from the Charity Bureau. However, in order to buy me more time, Princess Qinghe was injured in the fight with Night Crow. I want to leave the palace and go to Prince Kang's mansion to take care of her."

Chu Xinyue suffered internal injuries, and if she wanted to recover quickly, she had to take a medicinal bath for two hours every day.

The conditions for taking a medicinal bath are very harsh. The water temperature cannot be too cold or too hot.

She was worried about leaving this matter to the people from Prince Kang's Mansion.

Chu Xinyue's personal maid Erxi has an impatient personality. She would definitely not be able to handle such delicate work without someone to guide her.

Murong Che pondered for a moment and replied, "I will accompany you back to Lingyun Palace to rest tonight. Tomorrow I will send Wang Defa out of the palace to make purchases, and you will go with him."

Xue Youli didn't expect the man to agree so readily. She raised her eyebrows happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She was originally worried that Murong Che would not agree, and had already thought of several reasons to persuade him, but unfortunately none of them worked.

Murong Che looked at the joyful expression on her face, and was infected by her emotions, and a faint curve appeared at the corner of his lips.

……

As night falls, the lights come on.

Minghua Hall, Tianxiang Pavilion.

After Biyu had gathered the information, she immediately ran to report to Xue Qingyao, "Master, I heard that Concubine Xue has been serving calligraphy and painting in Zicheng Palace today. The Emperor not only invited her to dinner, but also personally escorted her back to Lingyun Palace."

During the day, Xue Qingyao received a message from Murong Ye outside the palace, saying that Xue Youli might not be in the palace recently, and asked her to seize the opportunity to win the emperor's heart.

In order to confirm whether the news was true, she specifically asked Biyu to find out the situation.

At this moment, after hearing Biyu's words, Xue Qingyao couldn't help but have a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Are you sure the person you saw was Xue Youli?"

"Yes! This servant saw it clearly!"

Upon hearing this, Xue Qingyao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There is no way Murong Ye would give her this news for no reason.

Xue Youli is very cunning. Perhaps the scene that Biyu saw was exactly what Xue Youli deliberately let Biyu see.

To be on the safe side, she plans to go to Lingyun Palace in person tomorrow.

……

The next morning.

Xue Qingyao asked Biyu to prepare some snacks and then went to Lingyun Palace to inquire about the situation.

Unexpectedly, before she reached the door of Lingyun Palace, she saw several palace maids helping Xue Youli into Lingyun Palace with nervous expressions.

She saw clearly that the person being helped in was indeed Xue Youli.

Xue Qingyao stood outside the hall for a while. When she saw a palace maid coming out, she immediately glanced at Biyu.

Biyu quickly walked towards the palace maid and said, "Sister Luluo, I seemed to hear a commotion at the entrance of your Lingyun Palace. Did something happen?"

The palace maid who came out was Luluo, who was beside Duan Cainv in Jinghua Pavilion.

She saw Xue Qingyao standing not far away, her eyes lit up, and she enthusiastically pulled Biyu, "I heard that Concubine Xue saw a beautiful orchid blooming by the lake and wanted to pick it to put in a vase, but she slipped and fell into the lake!"

Biyu covered her mouth in shock. "Is this true? What kind of orchid would require Concubine Xue to personally pick?"

"Absolutely true!"

Luoluo nodded vigorously, glancing in Xue Qingyao's direction from the corner of her eyes. She knew that Xue Qingyao and Xue Youli didn't get along, so she deliberately raised her voice, "That's why I say, people still can't eat too much."

The two were talking about sarcastic remarks when they saw Banxia hurriedly leading Doctor Cheng into Lingyun Hall.

"Doctor Cheng, my master has fallen pretty badly, please come in and take a look!"
