Zicheng Hall.

Xue Qingyao was kneeling outside with her makeup on and wearing a plain white dress.

Her hair was unadorned as she pleaded bitterly, "Your Majesty, please spare my father's life! Your Majesty, please spare my father's life..."

When something happened to Prefect Xue, even though she was just a fake prefect's daughter, she couldn't do nothing.

Even if she was acting, she would play the role of a filial daughter in front of everyone.

Boom——

Not long after she knelt down, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky.

Biyu looked at the gloomy sky and whispered to her, "My lady, it's going to rain soon. Since the emperor is busy, let's wait until the rain stops before coming over."

The cloudy days in early winter are already bitterly cold, and if it rains heavily, won’t we freeze to death?

Xue Qingyao knew very well that if she left at this time, all her efforts would be in vain.

She has already shown her determination to plead for her father regardless of the weather. As for whether Magistrate Xue's property is confiscated or he is beheaded, what does it have to do with her?

She doesn't care at all.

……

At this moment, Lingyun Palace.

After Chu Xinyue's injuries healed, the first thing she did was to go to the palace to visit the patient.

She and Xue Youli were sitting on the couch, and before they had even started talking for a few words, they heard thunder outside.

Chu Xinyue turned her head and glanced out the window, then casually asked, "It's already winter, why is there still thunder and rain?"

Xue Youli took a sip of the tea and looked out the window. "When the heroine kneels, it will definitely rain. Isn't this an iron rule in your novels?"

Chu Xinyue heard this and said with a look of understanding, "Xue Qingyao went to the emperor to beg for the Lingzhou prefect? ​​He's not her biological father. How could she do that for someone who has no blood relationship with her?"

"It's just a show. In her mind, she has slept with him after all. What if the emperor feels sorry for her and pardons the Lingzhou prefect's death sentence?"

The two chatted idly, and before long, Xiao Zhongzi found out the latest news, "Master, when I passed by Zicheng Palace, I saw Concubine Xue fainted in the rain. She has been carried back to Minghua Palace."

Xue Youli raised her eyebrows in understanding, "It seems that the emperor didn't see her."

Xiao Zhongzi replied, "Yes, the emperor simply used the excuse of being busy with government affairs to refuse entry to Concubine Xue."

Xue Youli nodded slightly, his eyes falling on Xiao Zhongzi's rain-soaked shoulders, and said softly, "You've worked hard, go down and rest."

"Yes!"

After listening to the conversation between master and servant, Chu Xinyue couldn't help but ask, "Ali, the Jiuzhou royal family doesn't allow the daughter of a criminal to become queen. Now that Xue Qingyao's dream of becoming queen has been shattered, will she return to Murong Ye's arms?"

Xue Youli touched the warm hand warmer in her arms, and raised the corners of her lips slightly. "She'd better throw herself into Murong Ye's arms immediately. Only if they join forces can we have a chance to use her to obtain evidence that Murong Ye covets the throne and intends to rebel."

This is the situation that she and Murong Che want to see most. After all, Murong Ye is not only protected by the male protagonist's halo, but also extremely cautious in everything he does. It is not easy to find any evidence against him.

If Xue Qingyao could firmly choose Murong Ye and plot for the throne with him, things would be much easier.

……

Snapped!

Minghua Hall, Tianxiang Pavilion.

Xue Qingyao thought about her current situation, flicked her sleeves fiercely, and threw the teapot on the table to the ground.

She had just been caught in the rain outside Zicheng Palace for a while, her whole body was soaked, and she almost froze to death.

She knelt outside the hall for more than half an hour, shivering from the cold.

But Murong Che had no intention of seeing her, and the rain showed no sign of stopping.

To prevent herself from catching a cold and getting sick, she pretended to faint.

After Murong Che heard Wang Defa's report that she had fainted from kneeling, he ordered people to send her back to Minghua Palace.

Seeing Xue Qingyao's gnashing teeth, Biyu hurriedly said, "Master, please don't let your anger ruin your health. This is all the fault of Concubine Xue of Lingyun Palace! If her second brother hadn't secretly written a secret letter to the Emperor to denounce you, how could you have ended up as a prisoner?"

Xue Qingyao already hated Xue Youli to the core.

Now that Murong Che doesn't want to see her, he may have given up on her.

She put in so much effort to get Murong Che to favor her, but in the end it was all ruined by Xue Youli and her family.

She keeps all these debts firmly in mind!

Since Xue Youli doesn't let her have an easy life, she won't let Xue Youli and her family have an easy life either!

Thinking of this, Xue Qingyao immediately said to Biyu, "Help me grind the ink right now. I need to write a letter and send it out of the palace!"

After her promotion, she was still considering whether to cut off contact with Murong Ye. Now she was dragged down by the Lingzhou prefect and had no choice but to continue staying on Murong Ye's pirate ship.

……

It was late at night and the palace of Prince Xian was quiet.

Murong Ye received two letters from the palace, one of which was written by A Yan.

She reported to Murong Ye how Xue Qingyao had successfully served Murong Che in bed and how she had been rewarded by Murong Che.

After reading the letter, a sinister glint flashed in Murong Ye's dark eyes.

The next moment, he crumpled the letter into a ball.

Although he did not like Xue Qingyao and just wanted to use her to confuse Murong Che, he felt very unhappy when he heard that Xue Qingyao happily served him in bed and happily accepted the reward.

Murong Che not only took away the throne that should have belonged to him, but also laid hands on his woman. He deserves to die!

When he finally calmed down and saw the second secret letter that Xue Qingyao had someone send him, a hint of sneer flashed across his eyes.

Xue Qingyao really had a good plan.

She is just a discarded pawn now. Why does she think that he will declare war on Murong Che for her?

However, Murong Che's treatment of Prefect Xue was clearly intended to serve as a warning to others.

Magistrate Xue was the chicken that was slaughtered, and he was the monkey.

Perhaps Murong Che knew about his relationship with Prefect Xue as early as when he sent Xue Qingyao into the palace, and deliberately kept Xue Qingyao to force him to reveal his true identity.

Unfortunately, Murong Che guessed wrong. He only used Xue Qingyao and had no feelings for her.

"Night Raven."

Murong Ye threw both letters into the brazier in front of him, then looked up and called out the window.

A black figure immediately appeared and knelt before him respectfully, "Your subordinate is here."

Murong Ye stared at the brazier, watching the letter being engulfed by the flames and instantly reduced to ashes. "I order you to go to the East Camp immediately. We have been planning for so long, it is time to close the net."

"Yes!"

Murong Ye watched Night Crow's figure disappear into the night, slowly narrowing his black eyes, as if waiting for a good show.

When Murong Che learns tomorrow that the military equipment of the East Camp has been swapped, how will he deal with Xue Wuji, the "culprit"?

When Murong Ye thought about the big show that would be performed at the morning court tomorrow, he began to look forward to it.

However, what he didn't know was that at the same moment that Night Crow headed towards the East Camp, Xue Wuzhi had already ridden a fast horse and galloped towards the direction of the imperial palace.

A few days ago, after Xue Youli left the palace, she returned to the Xue Mansion. At that time, she reminded Xue Wuji that someone in the East Camp was planning to steal military equipment.

Xue Wuji listened to her and every day when he went to the East Camp on duty, he and Yu Minyan would secretly keep an eye on the armory where military weapons were stored.

Just now, he discovered a few thieves who wanted to swap weapons.

Xue Wuji quietly detained several people and handed them over to Yu Minyan for custody, while he immediately rode a fast horse to the palace to meet the emperor.

My sister said that Murong Ye might make a fuss about the substitution of military equipment and put the blame on him.

Then, he would take the lead over Murong Ye and expose the fact that the military equipment had been swapped in front of the emperor!

He wanted to see what other tricks Murong Ye had up his sleeve!

At the palace gate, Xue Wuzhi pulled the reins and immediately dismounted.

The guard at the gate was about to stop him, but when he saw the token raised in his hand, he quickly let him in.

Xue Wuzhi had a token bestowed by the emperor in his hand, with which he could enter the palace and meet the emperor at any time without any hindrance.

So, the moment he showed the token, not only did the guards lead him to Zicheng Palace, but there were also guards who ran to the harem as quickly as possible to inform Murong Che of the matter.

Lingyun Palace, Shuiyue Pavilion.

Murong Che was about to go to bed with Xue Youli, but when he heard Wang Defa's hurried report, he immediately left the harem and went to Zicheng Palace.

Xue Youli had been arguing with him for a long time and was already tired. Just as she was about to go to sleep, the Book of Heaven's Secrets suddenly flashed before her eyes.

[The plot is triggered. It is detected that Ye Ya has gone to Dong Da Palace. He will fight with Yu Minyan. When he kidnaps Yu Minyan, he discovers the secret that Yu Minyan is disguised as a man!]
