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

The palace gate opened and Yin Xuan'er rushed in hurriedly wearing a palace maid's uniform.

Queen Mother Yin looked at her flustered appearance and frowned, "What's wrong? Why are you dressed like this?"

Yin Xuan'er touched the twin buns on her head and replied, "I heard that the virtuous prince was about to invade the palace. I was worried about running into his men, so I dressed like this on purpose! I asked Qinghe for this dress. Auntie, am I particularly clever?"

Seeing that she was still quite pleased with herself, Empress Dowager Yin raised her hand and poked her forehead. "Concubine Rong specifically instructed that everyone should lock their palace doors tightly and not wander around. Why were you running around?"

"I'm just worried about you!" Yin Xuan'er pouted her red lips and coquettishly pulled Empress Dowager Yin's arm. "Aunt, I heard the fighting outside is very intense. Is it safe for us to stay in the harem?"

Although she was trained by the Yin family as the future queen before entering the palace, she was, after all, just a lady from a noble family who never left the house and had not experienced any major storms.

When she heard that the rebels led by Murong Ye had reached the palace gate, she was immediately terrified.

Her aunt is the most noble and powerful woman in the entire harem. If the harem is unsafe, Murong Che will definitely transfer her aunt first.

So according to her judgment, it is safest to stay with her aunt!

How could Empress Dowager Yin not know her little thoughts? "Of course it's safe. The Emperor will guard the palace gates. Let's not lose our composure and cause trouble for him."

Unless Murong Che abandons the palace and flees, it is safest to stay in the palace during this time of rebellion.

Yin Xuan'er bit her lip and said, "Aunt, what if... I mean, what if the rebels attack us? What should we do?"

Queen Mother Yin's brows darkened, and she spoke sternly, "At a time like this, don't try to boost others' morale and undermine your own prestige. The Emperor is a man of extraordinary talent, and he will surely triumph and defeat the Xianwang's rebels!"

Seeing Empress Dowager Yin's stern tone, Yin Xuan'er realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "Aunt, I'm really worried about the Emperor! I came here to ask if you should notify my father to come and rescue him."

"No need. The virtuous prince has caused such a big commotion that I'm afraid the whole capital knows about it by now! All we can do is not toss and turn and not add to the chaos!"

Queen Mother Yin originally wanted to send Yin Xuan'er back to her Xuanyun Palace, but when she thought about her condition and thought that she might run around again if she stayed alone, it would be better to keep her under her own supervision.

Thinking of Xue Youli who had just left, the difference between the two was immediately apparent.

At times like this, it is already a rare achievement to remain calm.

However, Xue Youli was able to take the situation in the Cining Palace into consideration despite the chaotic situation and prevent her from becoming the Xianwang's hostage.

This little girl is not only well-organized at such a young age, but can also think of countermeasures in emergencies. She is indeed the best candidate for the position of Empress.

No wonder the emperor treated her differently.

……

"Empress Rong, Empress Li, the Emperor has ordered this servant to inspect the harem to ensure the safety of the ladies. Just now, this servant discovered that these palace maids were acting suspiciously and attempting to collude with the enemy. Please, Your Majesties, please deal with them!"

Early in the morning, Murong Che sent Wang Defa and Deng Qing from the Criminal Justice Department to lead a team of eunuchs skilled in martial arts to inspect the harem.

Sure enough, we caught several sneaky guys.

Only after Deng Qing's questioning did we find out that these traitors actually wanted to slip away and open the door for the rebels!

Under the joint management of Rong Qingyue and Concubine Li, there was no chaos in the harem.

At this moment, looking at the eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground in fear, Concubine Li said to Rong Qingyue, "Sister Rong, these people are trying to collaborate with the enemy and their crimes are extremely heinous. I think we should just beat them to death with sticks. This will also serve as a warning to others."

Rong Qingyue nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's do as my sister says. Wang Defa, these palace servants have disregarded palace rules. They must be executed on the spot! As a warning to others!"

"Have mercy! Empress Rong, have mercy! Empress Li, have mercy!"

Although they were spies arranged by Murong Ye in the palace, they had no backbone. After being caught, Deng Qing did not use harsh punishments, but simply used intimidation to trick their identities out.

Rong Qingyue lowered her eyes and swept them over the people kneeling at her feet, her gaze cold and gloomy. "Anyone who collaborates with the enemy will be beaten to death with clubs! Wang Defa, pass on my order; execute them immediately!"

"Yes!"

No matter how the palace servants begged for mercy, Rong Qingyue's face remained unchanged.

?

At the eastern palace gate, Murong Ye sat on his steed, shouting at those inside, "Murong Che! Don't be a coward! You killed my eldest and third brothers, and now you're trying to kill me! You're cruel and unjust, causing chaos and neglecting state affairs! Today, for the sake of our ancestors' legacy and the people, I must shoulder this heavy responsibility!"

Last night, the secret agents in Dongdaying successfully drugged the water source of Dongdaying, and the entire Dongdaying was ruined!

Other officials with military power were still wavering between him and Murong Che.

These elite people would never take the initiative to send troops to support Murong Che.

At this moment, with him personally in charge, the shouts of the soldiers following him became louder and louder.

Seeing that their morale was high, Murong Ye planned to make a concerted effort to break down the palace gate.

He didn't expect that Murong Che had been prepared and had ordered people to reinforce the palace gate last night.

The rebels outside the gate kept hitting the palace gate with battering rams. After their repeated attacks, a crack was finally created in the vermilion palace gate.

Seeing this, Si Sha's eyes flashed with excitement. He raised his voice to encourage the soldiers who were rushing to ram the gate, "Everyone, keep pushing hard. We'll soon be able to break the palace gate open! The prince said that the women in the harem must be kept alive. The reward will be based on the number you capture!"

"Yes!"

Bang bang bang!

The battering ram hit harder and harder, and the cracks in the palace gate became bigger and bigger.

Just as the palace gate was about to be broken down, at this critical moment, the sound of a long arrow breaking through the air rang in everyone's ears.

call out!

It was an extremely slight sound, but it was not drowned out by the sound of the door slamming.

The long arrow came like lightning, with the power to destroy everything, and shot through the chest of the person who was knocking on the door from behind!

Everyone was shocked by this powerful arrow.

call out!

shhhhhh!

Before they could come to their senses, dozens of arrows shot towards Murong Ye.

The target of the dense rain of arrows was very clear, it was Murong Ye sitting on the horse!

"Be careful, Your Highness!"

Si Sha rushed over without hesitation and stood in front of Murong Ye.

He swung the sword in his hand desperately, and the arrows shot at Murong Ye were blocked and fell under the horse's hooves.

However, before they could catch their breath, another batch of arrows followed.

This time the number of arrows was twice as much as before, and the speed was also twice as fast as before.

No matter how flexible the sword in Si Sha's hand was, it could not stop the overwhelming arrows.

"Your Highness! This place is too dangerous! Quick! I will take you away from here first!"

Si Sha knew that in order to boost morale, Murong Ye dragged his seriously injured body and insisted on accompanying the soldiers to attack the imperial city.

But they were caught off guard by the sudden attack.

He didn't even know who shot those arrows!

Although they were skilled in martial arts, they could only barely withstand the attack of hidden arrows.

The soldiers who were knocking on the door were hit by arrows and fell to the ground one after another.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of wounded soldiers fell to the ground.

Murong Ye looked at the scene in front of him, his hands holding the reins tightened little by little, and the expression on his handsome face became extremely gloomy.

He had been planning for this day for many years and was about to step into the palace, but failed at the last moment. How could he be willing to accept this?

His hands gripping the reins turned pale, and he spoke through gritted teeth, "Sisha, go and see who's hiding in the dark and shooting arrows at us."

Before Si Sha could respond to him, a tall and straight figure appeared on the palace wall to their right.

Murong Ye looked up, and when he met Xue Wuzhi's cold and sharp eyes, his pupils couldn't help but tremble.

what happened?

Weren’t all the soldiers in the East Camp drugged by him?

Why did Xue Wuji appear here out of nowhere?

The more Murong Ye thought about it, the angrier he became. He harshly questioned Si Sha beside him, "Si Sha, how did those secret agents in the East Camp do their job? Why didn't Xue Wuji get drugged?"

Xue Wuzhi was still a long distance away from him, but he could probably guess why he was angry by looking at his mouth shape.

He stared down at Murong Ye with a condescending attitude, "Wise King, you have been surrounded. Just surrender! If you surrender now, the emperor will reward you with an intact corpse!"

The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. In Murong Ye's eyes, there is no difference between an intact body and a dismembered body.

He stared at Xue Wuji and asked loudly, "General Xue, Murong Che is cruel and unjust. Why did you help him?"

Xue Wuji heard him throwing dirty water on Murong Che, trying to smear Murong Che's reputation, and sneered, "Wise King, you're saying the opposite, aren't you? The current emperor is a man of great talent and strategy, and he works hard to govern the country. Since he ascended the throne, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived and worked in peace. How can he be cruel? Don't talk nonsense for your own ambitions and ruin the emperor's reputation for virtue!"

"This king..."

Murong Ye wanted to argue, but Xue Wuji didn't give him a chance to speak. He continued, "You, the virtuous king, are willing to provoke war for your own personal ambitions and put the people of the capital into the flames of war! People like you don't deserve the word 'virtuous' at all! I, Xue Wuji, am a minister of Jiuzhou and a general who protects the people. As long as I am here today, you won't even dare to set foot in the palace!"
