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

Xue Wuji never imagined that one day he would be carried like a princess by a girl.

At this moment, his right leg was on the ground, supporting most of his body weight.

The injured left leg was raised high in the air.

The two looked at each other.

The air was suddenly quiet.

The night wind blew Yu Minyan's long hair, revealing the delicate and fair skin on her neck.

Xue Wuji's eyes accidentally glanced at her neck, his gaze froze, and then he quickly turned his face away as if he had been burned, "I, I can stand on my own!"

"do not move!"

Yu Minyan grabbed him and, seeing that he didn't even know where to look, pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Brother, you're not blaming me for hiding the fact that I'm a woman, are you?"

"No, you must have your reasons for doing this." Xue Wuzhi held the saddle to steady himself.

After saying that, he paused and added, "Don't worry, I will pretend I don't know about this and keep it a secret for you in the barracks!"

"Then I would like to thank you, Brother."

Yu Minyan straightened her clothes that had been torn by the sword during the fight with Night Crow. She then pulled a long strip of cloth from under her clothes and tied her long hair into a ponytail. "We should go back to the barracks. If you don't want to ride with me, you can ride back first."

Xue Wuji leaned his back against the horse's belly and turned his head to stare at her, "What about you?"

"I'll go back."

"How can that be? What if the man in black has accomplices nearby? It would be dangerous for you to be alone!" Xue Wuji looked at the calm expression on her face, hesitated for a moment, and asked her softly, "If you don't mind, we can ride Lightning back to the camp together."

Even though he knew that she was a girl a long time ago, he didn't reveal the truth at that time. He could pretend to be clueless, continue to be her fellow apprentice, and silently help her cover up.

However, tonight, from the moment her long hair fell, it would no longer be possible for him and her to be so carefree with each other's arms around each other.

He never had any dirty thoughts towards her just because she was a girl.

Whether she is his junior brother or junior sister, he respects her and also respects her choice.

Yu Minyan grew up in a military camp and is not a timid person.

She looked at the lightning horse that had been with her senior brother for three years, curled the corners of her mouth, and nodded readily, "Then let's go back together. I'll help you get on the horse first!"

Xue Wuji didn't hesitate any longer and simply nodded, "Okay!"

So, Yu Minyan helped him onto the horse and then climbed onto the horse himself.

She reached out from behind Xue Wuji and grabbed the reins.

In this posture, Xue Wuji seemed to be trapped in Yu Minyan's arms.

He coughed lightly, and the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably. "Um, how about I sit in the back?"

"Forget it, Senior Brother. I'm afraid I'll throw you off the horse with a whip."

After Yu Minyan finished speaking, he slapped the horse's belly with his legs, and the horse immediately spread its hooves and ran towards the East Camp.

Yu Minyan took Xue Wuzhi's leg injury into consideration, so the horse did not run fast.

As the injured Xue Wuji sat in the front, during the bumpy ride, his back would occasionally bump into Yu Minyan's chest. In the past, Yu Minyan had never thought about it in terms of men and women, and didn't think it was a big deal, but now, looking at the broad back of the man in front of her, her cheeks flushed a little bit...

?

In Prince Xian’s mansion, Murong Ye waited from late night until dawn.

He did not wait for Night Crow to come back and report, but instead received the news that all the cargo ships loaded with weapons at the East Pier had been seized by the officials.

When he heard the report from his subordinates, he was so angry that the blood rushed back to his body.

He slammed the table and demanded sharply, "Where on earth has Night Raven been? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Si Sha hurriedly said, "Your Highness, a fierce fight broke out on the road to the East Camp last night. Xue Wuji and General Yu's son, Yu Minyan, teamed up to kill a man in black. I heard that the man in black was involved in the theft of military equipment in the East Camp. Xue Wuji and the others have already handed the man's body over to the government office, hoping to find the mastermind behind the theft!"

Corpse?

The mastermind behind this?

When Murong Ye heard these words, the anger on his handsome face had not yet subsided, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He clenched his fists, tightened and unclenched them, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "What did you say? How could Night Raven be dead?"

"Your Highness, the body of the Night Crow was brought to the government office last night. I was worried that revealing it would lead to associations between Night Crow and the Xianwang Palace, so I didn't personally confirm it. However, I have quietly inquired with the people in the government office, and judging by the body's clothing and facial features, it's most likely Night Crow."

Si Sha is the only person in Prince Xian's Mansion who knows Ye Ya's identity besides Murong Ye.

He knew very well how much Murong Ye valued Night Crow, but at this critical juncture, he naturally did not want Murong Ye to take risks.

He glanced at Murong Ye's sullen face and whispered, "Your Highness, please accept my condolences."

Murong Ye was so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red and even the muscles on his face were trembling.

He clenched his fists little by little, and his knuckles cracked.

Night Crow was his right-hand man. Not only was he skilled in martial arts, he was also very loyal to him. However, he was tragically killed by Brother Xue Youli's sword last night.

And he couldn't even collect Night Crow's body.

"Did Night Crow...die in pain?"

Si Sha hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently. "Ye Ya's eyes were destroyed, and he was stabbed once in the chest, with the swords piercing his body directly. When his body was discovered, he had almost bled out of his body."

When Murong Ye heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and his eyes turned bloodshot.

Ever since he became involved with the Xue family, he seemed to be encountering obstacles everywhere and nothing he did went smoothly.

He secretly won over court officials and local officials, used the Xianle Painting Boat and Xunhuan Tower to make money, used Xue Qingyao to enter the palace to confuse Murong Ye, and used Zhao Ming to swap weapons.

Just wait for the day when everything is ready and force Murong Che to hand over the throne.

Everything was going smoothly until Xue Youli and the Xue family intervened. The Duke of Anguo, who stood on his side, fell, the prefect Xue, who supported him, fell, the Xianle Painting Boat was sealed off, the Xunhuan Tower was burned down, the weapons were discovered before they could be transported out of the city, and even his most trusted secret guard, Night Ya, died.

Although Murong Ye was not implicated in these incidents, they caused him heavy losses and severely damaged his power.

A hint of dejection flashed across Murong Ye's eyes, and the next moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had come out of his grief, and his eyes were full of viciousness and determination.

The situation is not hopeless yet, and the outcome is still undecided. At this juncture, he cannot lose his composure.

Xue Youli!

She is the source of everything!

It’s not over yet!

Right now, he has an ace in his hand, and it's time to play this card and take Xue Youli's life!

……

Imperial Palace, morning court today.

In the main hall, Xue Wuji and Yu Minyan reported to Murong Che what happened in the East Camp last night.

Xue Wuzhi's leg was stabbed by a night crow and the injury was serious. He had to be carried into the hall.

After learning that the weapons had been swapped, Murong Che was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

In the military camp, there were people so bold as to swap the weapons of the soldiers going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. How horrifying is this news?

Zhao Ming, the direct person in charge of the East Camp, was identified on the spot as having participated in the weapons substitution.

Murong Che didn't give him any chance to explain. He threw him into jail and ordered a strict interrogation. "The theft of weapons is a matter of national importance. The Ministry of Justice must uncover all officials involved in this case. These people are endangering the stability of the country. Not a single one of them will slip through the net!"

Before leaving the court, Murong Ye winked at Zhou Qianhe, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhou Qianhe immediately stepped out and said to the man on the dragon throne, "Your Majesty, the two princesses of Nanzhao Kingdom have also entered the palace today. They have chosen their ideal husbands and would like to pay a visit to the Queen Mother and ask her to grant them marriages!"
