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

Outside the capital, Jinghua Temple.

In the Buddhist hall, the sound of the little monk reciting scriptures accompanied by the sound of the wooden fish was pleasant to the ear.

But if you listen carefully, you will find that there is an inappropriate voice among them, "I want to eat steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, roast goose..."

Erxi knelt on the futon and reminded Chu Xinyue in a low voice, "Princess, please chant the sutras in a lower voice. Even the Buddha can hear you."

Chu Xinyue looked at Erxi and yawned, then said with tears in her eyes, "Erxi, I want to eat meat!"

After entering the novel, she would get up before dawn every morning and go to bed as soon as it got dark at night. She would eat vegetarian food, chant Buddhist scriptures, and extol the virtues of others. This kind of austere life was too painful for her, a night owl whose day and night were reversed.

Erxi looked at her pitiful eyes and whispered to her, "Princess, please bear with it for a while. When you return to the palace, you can enjoy all the delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Now, wipe the saliva from the corners of your mouth quickly, don't let the Buddha see it..."

"Erxi hadn't finished speaking when Nanny Li spoke in a deep voice, 'Erxi, you're not sincere in your recitation of the sutras. Go back and copy the Buddhist sutras twenty times as punishment!'"

Chu Xinyue knew that Nanny Li represented Queen Mother Yin. Every time she made a mistake, Queen Mother Yin would not blame her, but Erxi would be unlucky and would have to be punished on her behalf every time.

Nanny Li was openly talking about Erxi, but she was actually pointing at her.

huh huh...

It’s not fun to travel through a book. Queen Mother Yin is scarier than her high school teacher. She misses her dear best friend and she wants to go home!

?

Capital City, Imperial Palace.

In the next few days, Murong Che was busy dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty and did not set foot in the harem again.

April 8th, early morning.

After Xue Youli got up, she was overjoyed at the thought that she would be able to get rid of her teenage mode after tonight.

After washing her face, she sat down in front of the dressing table, humming a song and reaching out to the cream.

However, before her hand even touched the bottle of cream, she immediately realized something was wrong.

This bottle of facial cream was the pear blossom ointment she made herself according to the recipe in the Book of Heavenly Secrets before entering the palace.

As a doctor, she has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, so every time she finishes using the face cream, she will turn the side of the porcelain bottle with the pear blossom print towards herself.

But now the pear blossoms on the porcelain vase are crooked.

Banxia knew her habits and would not touch her things without her permission. It was obvious that someone else had come in.

Xue Youli raised her hand to pick up the porcelain bottle, opened the bottle cap, and put it under her nose to smell it.

The scent is indeed slightly different from before.

Others might not notice it, but she had a keen nose and immediately discovered that something had been added to the pear blossom ointment.

She remembered that when she used the pear blossom ointment yesterday, it was fine.

Her bedroom has always been guarded by Banxia, ​​and outsiders cannot enter. The only possibility is that there is a traitor in Shuiyuexuan.

In order to confirm her guess, she immediately used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to check, and sure enough, a name appeared in the book.

In fact, when Xue Youli moved into Lingyun Palace, he used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to check the information of several people in the palace.

Due to the limitation that there were only three query opportunities per day in the Book of Secrets, she only checked three people.

Who would have thought that the person who was not checked would have problems.

Xue Youli thought that she was usually tolerant towards her servants. As long as they didn't make big mistakes, she would basically not blame them.

Since her master did not do anything wrong, the person who poisoned her pear blossom cream must have been bribed.

The Book of Heavenly Secrets states that the other party was forced to poison her.

Xue Youli didn't care what her difficulties were. A servant who betrayed her master could not be kept!

Thinking of this, she narrowed her almond-shaped eyes coldly, turned her head and instructed Banxia who was combing her hair, "Banxia, ​​go call Jixiang."

Jixiang has been in charge of the flowers, plants and trees outside the palace. Why did the master look for her as soon as he got up?

Banxia was a little confused, but she still called him over immediately, "Master, Jixiang is here."

Jixiang didn't know what was going on. He came in and politely saluted Xue Youli, "Master, are you looking for me?"

Xue Youli was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and asked directly, "Jixiang, I asked you to come here to ask, do you have any objections to my master?"

Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then knelt before her, "I dare not!"

Xue Youli raised an eyebrow, "It seems that you just don't dare, not that you have no opinion about me."

Jixiang's heart tightened for no apparent reason, and he quickly defended himself, "It was my fault for being clumsy and saying the wrong thing! Master, you are very kind and treat me well. I have absolutely no second thoughts about you!"

Snapped!

Seeing that she didn't want to confess, Xue Youli threw the porcelain bottle of pear blossom ointment at her and asked, "If you didn't have any ulterior motives, why did you tamper with my face cream?"

Jixiang's expression froze and his eyes widened in shock.

Last night, she took advantage of Xue Youli's absence for a walk and sneaked into the bedroom under the pretext of arranging flowers in a vase to poison the flowers. She did it extremely secretly and no one saw it. How did the master find out?

Or maybe the master just noticed that there was something wrong with the pear blossom ointment, but had no evidence to prove that it was her doing, so he said this on purpose to deceive her.

After Jixiang finished his analysis, he cried out in injustice, "Master, this servant is truly loyal to you and did not poison the cream. Please, Master, please see clearly!"

Xue Youli laughed, "I only said you tampered with the matter, when did I say you poisoned it? Why don't you confess yourself?"

Seeing the determined expression on Xue Youli's face, Jixiang panicked and kowtowed, begging for mercy. "Master, I was wrong! Please spare my life!"

Xue Youli stared at her. "Okay, if you put this bottle of pear blossom ointment on your face, I can spare your life!"

Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then he kowtowed loudly, "Master, please have mercy! Master, please have mercy!"

The fact that she didn't dare to apply the cream was enough to show that the cream was quite toxic and could even kill her on the spot.

Xue Youli stood in front of her, looking down at her condescendingly, "If you want to live, tell me the truth. Who told you to poison me?"

Jixiang's eyes flickered, and he shook his head desperately, "No, no one instructed me... It was all my own idea... Yes! It was all my doing... I was the one who poisoned her..."

Seeing that she had confessed, Banxia was so angry that she pointed at her nose and cursed, "Jixiang, you are a traitor who repays kindness with enmity! Check your conscience... Oh no, your conscience has been eaten by a dog!

You probably forgot that the day before yesterday you received a letter from outside the palace saying that your mother was seriously ill and had no money to see a doctor. It was the master who asked me to give you fifty taels of silver! The master was so sincere to you, but you stabbed her in the heart!

Jixiang listened, tears streaming down her face. "Master, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your kindness to my family in this lifetime. I can only repay you by working like a slave in the next life!"

After she finished speaking, a look of determination flashed across her eyes.

Without waiting for Xue Youli to say anything else, she stood up and banged her head against the wall.

Xue Youli grabbed her by the back of the collar and pulled her back. "You don't think that if you die, everything will be over, do you? I'm telling you, if you dare to die here tonight and bring bad luck upon me, I'll take care of your entire family tomorrow and send them to hell with you!"

Jixiang didn't expect that although Xue Youli looked innocent and kind, his cruel methods could make people feel cold.

But her parents and two younger brothers had already been detained by that empress. If she gave that empress away, not only she but also her family would be killed immediately.

She was just an insignificant palace maid. What else could she do except agree to poison him?

"Master, Banxia is right. I have failed your trust. Please grant me death! But my family members are completely unaware of it. Please have mercy on them and let them go! Please!" Jixiang said, knocking his head loudly.

Seeing that she was determined to die, Xue Youli knew that he couldn't pry her mouth open.

Forget it, since this is her choice, let her do it.

"Jixiang attempted to murder his master. His crime is unforgivable. He shall be beaten to death!"

When Jixiang heard this, she knew that her master would not touch her family.

She kowtowed three times to Xue Youli, "This servant bows to thank the master!"

Soon, Jixiang was dragged away.

Shuiyuexuan and Xue Youli called Ruyi, Xiaopingzi and Xiaoanzi together and told them what had happened.

"I know that being in the harem means there are always times when you can't control your own affairs. But I don't care what your reasons are. If you dare to have any evil intentions towards me, I will never forgive you! Jixiang's incident is just a warning to everyone."

Xue Youli swept her gaze over them, using both kindness and force. "From now on, if anyone encounters difficulties, please tell me immediately. In Shuiyuexuan, our fates are tied together. We prosper together and suffer together. Remember?"

Several people immediately knelt down and pledged their loyalty to her, "Master, rest assured. We belong to Shuiyuexuan in life and will be its servants in death! Even if someone holds a knife to our necks, we will not betray you!"

"Very good, go ahead and get busy."

After they dispersed, Banxia couldn't help but ask Xue Youli, "Master, should we tell the emperor about this and ask him to find out who's behind this?"
