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

After Xue Youli finished chatting with Chu Xinyue, he handed the medicine bowl on the bedside table to her and said, "Here! We've been talking for so long, the medicine is almost getting cold. You should drink it quickly. Murong Ye will definitely take some action soon, so you need to get better quickly."

Chu Xinyue's brows knitted together when she saw the black medicine, but when she heard the last sentence, she gritted her teeth and drank the whole medicine in one breath, "It's so bitter!"

Xue Youli saw her face wrinkled up, and just as she was about to take a dragon beard cake from her waist and give it to her, Erxi's voice came from outside the door, "Princess, Madam, the prince sent me to bring you tea and snacks!"

She walked in with a tray and saw that the bowl of medicine on the bedside table was empty. She quickly handed the candied fruit to Chu Xinyue's mouth, "Princess, this is the candied fruit that the prince specially asked me to prepare for you."

Chu Xinyue pinched two pieces of candied fruit and put them into her mouth. After holding them for a while, the bitterness in her mouth finally faded.

Xue Youli looked at the plate of preserved fruit in Erxi's hand and said with a smile, "Murong Nan really cares about you and even remembered to send you preserved fruit."

Chu Xinyue curled her lips. "If he can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of having him?"

Having said this, she turned around and told Erxi, "Go call the prince and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

Xue Youli stood up from the bed and said, "If I had known Murong Nan would take such good care of you, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to run out of the palace."

Chu Xinyue hugged her waist and coquettishly leaned her face against her chest. "Ali, my injuries healed quickly, isn't it all thanks to you? You gave me acupuncture and asked me to take a medicinal bath. After a good sleep, my injuries didn't hurt as much when I woke up this morning. Just for your medical skills, I want to kowtow to you!"

Xue Youli laughed at her exaggerated tone and said, "I definitely won't leave tonight. I finally made it out of the palace, so I'll stay in the palace with you for two days, and then I'll go home."

It was rare for her to leave the palace, and she was reluctant to go back so soon.

"it is good!"

At night, before it was completely dark, Chu Xinyue urged Xue Youli to finish washing up and get into bed with her.

She blinked mysteriously at Xue Youli, "Ali, guess what personal belonging Murong Nan asked Murong Ye for?"

In the morning, after Chu Xinyue called Murong Nan into the room, Xue Youli and Erxi went for a walk in the back garden of the palace.

Now hearing Chu Xinyue's question, she thought for a moment and casually replied, "Could it be stinky socks?"

Chu Xinyue's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh my god! How could you even guess that?"

During the day, she told Murong Nan that no matter what method he used, he must take a personal item from Murong Ye to prove that they had a good relationship.

But she never expected that what Murong Nan brought back were Murong Ye's socks.

Xue Youli looked at her incredulous expression and replied with a smile, "We've known each other for so many years, how could I not understand you?"

"I never thought Murong Nan would be so clever one day. He actually managed to get Murong Ye drunk, and then the two of them played finger-guessing games, where the winner could take something from the loser. Murong Nan ended up taking off Murong Ye's shoes. Murong Ye had no way to stop him, so he managed to get Murong Ye's socks."

"You want to say Murong Nan is stupid, but I think he's quite smart in some ways. If he were to ask for something else while drunk, it would only arouse Murong Ye's suspicion. But asking for someone's socks is something only a drunk would do."

Chu Xinyue listened to Xue Youli's praise of Murong Nan and felt proud of it. "As the saying goes, 'If you keep company with vermilion, you'll be red. If you keep company with ink, you'll be black.' He's become smart because of my good training."

"With this thing, I hope that when Princess Lan Zheng is controlled by the puppet Gu, she can kill him with a single blow."

……

“Ah-chuh—ah-chuh—”

At this moment, in Prince Xian’s Mansion.

Lan Zheng, dressed in black and wearing a veil, appeared in Murong Ye's study.

Murong Ye glanced at her. Even though he was dissatisfied with her behavior, he could only patiently remind her, "During this period, the emperor is looking for a marriage partner for you and Lan Luo. If you rashly come to my house, you will easily be targeted."

Lan Zheng pouted her red lips in dissatisfaction. "I missed you and risked being discovered to come see you. Aren't you happy?"

Murong Ye looked at her unhappy expression and softened his tone. "Of course I'm happy, but I'm worried that if someone saw you coming to Prince Xian's Mansion, it would bring you trouble."

Lan Zheng replied, "Don't worry, I'll have a maid disguised as me and rest in the room at the inn. No one will know I'm here, so there won't be any trouble."

Murong Ye felt relieved after hearing her say this. "I heard from Murong Nan today that Chu Xinyue's injuries are not serious. I calculated the time, and the puppet Gu in her body is about to take effect. I also heard that Xue Youli fell into the water early this morning. Perhaps we can take advantage of her visit to the palace to make a move."

Lan Zheng nodded, "No problem. We can take advantage of Xue Youli being bedridden to strike. Our chances of success will be greater."

Puppet Gu is something from Nanzhao, and Murong Ye doesn’t have a deep understanding of it.

Since Lan Zheng came, he naturally had to ask her how to control the child Gu through the mother Gu.

So, he looked at Lan Zheng with feigned worry, "I've never controlled a Gu insect before, and I'm worried I might fail."

Lan Zheng replied, "It's actually very simple. When the time comes, all you have to do is blow the jade flute to activate the poisonous insect, making Chu Xinyue obey your commands."

"My status prevents me from approaching Lingyun Palace. At most, I can go to Cining Palace to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager under the pretext of visiting her. Cining Palace is not close to Lingyun Palace. Can the Gu insect hear the flute sound?"

"Don't underestimate the Gu worm. As long as you enter the palace, no matter where you play the flute, the Gu worm will be able to sense it."

Murong Ye was completely relieved after receiving a positive answer. "Once Xue Youli dies, the emperor will definitely hold a funeral for her. The marriage between Jiuzhou and Nanzhao will definitely be postponed. You won't have to marry someone you don't like."

Lan Zheng's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Then can I marry you?"

Murong Ye's eyes flickered with emotion when he heard this, and then he looked embarrassed. "During the autumn hunt, Murong Che asked you and Lan Luo to choose your ideal husband from among the ministers. He didn't want to marry either of you to the Prince of Jiuzhou."

"Is he afraid that after you marry the Nanzhao princess, you'll use Nanzhao's power to compete with him for the throne?"

"Yes."

Murong Ye nodded, a cold expression on his handsome face. "In fact, before the late emperor passed away, many ministers in the court wanted to support me as the crown prince, but the current empress dowager produced the edict written by the late emperor to silence everyone."

Whenever this matter was mentioned, Murong Ye felt aggrieved.

Just because he didn't have a mother with a good family background and high status, and no one to plan for him, he could only watch the throne fall into Murong Che's hands.

He was neither convinced nor reconciled.

Since no one helps him, he will find a way to take back the throne that belongs to him!
