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

The news of Xue Youli's pregnancy added joy to New Year's Eve.

Fireworks continued to fill the night sky, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard from time to time. This New Year was very special for her.

In the first month of the year, Murong Che was still very busy. In addition to dealing with the accumulated government affairs, he also had to worship his ancestors and meet with court officials.

By the time everything was settled, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had already passed.

That morning, Wang Defa came to Zhaohua Palace with the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I inherit the order of Heaven and carry on the great cause. Concubine Xi, Xue, possesses the virtues of a virtuous lady, embodies the rites of the land, and possesses a resplendent majesty and splendour, surpassing all the empresses in virtue. I hereby confer her the title of Empress, placing her squarely in the position of the Central Concubine, to carry on the ancestral temple and serve as the mother of the nation. I grant her the residence of Fengyi Palace. I hope the Empress will strive to be self-disciplined, diligent and frugal, and live up to my expectations. I revere you!"

Xue Youli knelt on the ground and raised her hands above her head, "I accept your order and thank you!"

"Congratulations to the Queen!"

After being helped up by Banxia, ​​Xue Youli immediately gave Wang Defa a big red envelope and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang."

"The enthronement ceremony is scheduled for a month from now. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is already rushing to make a phoenix robe for the Empress."

As February begins, the weather gradually becomes warmer.

Murong Che held a grand ceremony to crown Xue Youli as queen.

Xue Youli, dressed in a phoenix robe, stood side by side with Murong Che, accepting the worship of civil and military officials.

The process of the empress's coronation ceremony is very complicated. The whole ceremony is not completed until after paying homage to the emperors of all dynasties in the Fengxian Hall.

When Xue Youli returned to Fengyi Palace, she was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Murong Che personally helped her remove her makeup and wash up.

Seeing Murong Che patiently wringing out the handkerchief and coaxing Xue Youli to wash her hands and wipe her face, Banxia immediately took all the palace people out of the bedroom, leaving the emperor and empress alone.

"Are you tired today?"

Seeing that Xue Youli’s eyelids were almost unable to open, Murong Che pinched her face with heartache.

"Well, Your Majesty, please remember to remove the makeup on my face." Xue Youli half closed her eyes and let the man serve her.

Since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she rarely wore makeup. However, the ceremony of coronation was a grand occasion after all, so she naturally had to put on the most exquisite makeup and appear at her most beautiful to accept the kneeling worship of the court officials.

"Okay." Murong Che lovingly washed her face and removed her makeup, took off her hair ornament and phoenix hairpin, then carried her to bed. "Go to sleep. I'll stay here with you tonight."

"Ah."

Xue Youli responded sweetly and naively, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Murong Che looked at her peaceful sleeping face, bent down and kissed her on the lips.

……

A few days later, when a palace maid came to Fengyi Palace to deliver spring clothes, it was discovered that a large amount of musk, which can cause miscarriage, was sprinkled on the clothes.

After the interrogation, the palace maid confessed that it was Xue Qingyao who ordered her to give Xue Youli musk.

So, Xue Qingyao was thrown into prison and awaited his fate.

Zicheng Hall.

Murong Che was reviewing memorials. After hearing about this, he said to Wang Defa, "Wasn't that little pillar in Minghua Palace transferred under your nose? Find a reason and deal with it."

He knew that the lives of Xue Qingyao and Xiao Zhuzi were closely linked by the love Gu.

As long as Xiao Zhuzi dies, Xue Qingyao will not be able to survive.

"The slave obeys the order."

Wang Defa was extremely efficient and soon beat Xiao Zhuzi to death with sticks on the pretext that he had broken the emperor's favorite porcelain.

At the same time, the Criminal Justice Department.

Before Deng Qing could torture Xue Qingyao, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground and curled up in pain.

She clutched her collar tightly, gasping for breath rapidly like a fish stranded on the shore.

why?

Why did she live again but still couldn't escape the fate of death?

She was so unwilling, but she could do nothing but watch her life slip away bit by bit.

Since God allowed her to be reborn, why did he let Xue Youli survive and oppose her at every turn?

She cursed the unfairness of God in her heart. After cursing a few times, her body suddenly stiffened and her pupils dilated.

Deng Qing noticed something was wrong and rushed over to check on her, but she was already dead.

As the most insignificant concubine in the harem, Xue Qingyao's death did not cause any stir.

……

A few days later, Rong Qingyue took the initiative to go to Zicheng Palace to ask to see Murong Che.

As soon as she entered, she knelt in front of the table and said, "Your Majesty, I want to take Xi'er to Jinghua Temple to worship Buddha."

The harem is a place of right and wrong. If Rong Qingyue had not had to, she would not have chosen to enter the palace.

Now that Xue Youli is pregnant, it's time for her and Xier, the shields, to retire.

Murong Che knew what she was thinking. After a moment's silence, he asked softly, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes! Please grant me your blessing, Your Majesty!"

Murong Che said, "Jinghua Temple is not suitable for Xier. I went to Jiangnan a few years ago and loved the beautiful scenery there. Xier has lived in the palace since she was a child. You should take Xier south to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou."

Rong Qingyue naturally wanted to take the child away from the capital. She was worried that Murong Che would not agree, but when she heard him say this, she kowtowed deeply to him and said, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!"

As she left Zicheng Palace, Murong Che thought for a moment and spoke to her from behind, "After you and your son leave the capital, I will announce to the world that the little princess has passed away due to illness, and that Concubine Rong has also died of grief. After we leave, you can return to Xi'er's male body. He must have had a very hard time in the palace for five years, and it's time for him to be his true self again."

"The concubine knows."

Rong Qingyue's back stiffened for a moment, she nodded in response, then quickened her pace and left.

A month later, news spread from the palace that the little princess had died of an asthma attack.

A few days later, Concubine Rong suddenly fell ill and died with her daughter.

Spring is here and flowers are blooming in the suburbs of Beijing.

A peach forest spreads out along the slope. A breeze blows from the depths of the forest, and pink petals fall down from the sky.

Rong Qingyue, holding the hand of a cute little boy, said to the people who came to see her off, "Everyone, I'll just send you here. I'll write to you when I settle down in Jiangnan."

Xue Youli nodded and looked at her with a smile, "Okay! Sister Rong, take care of yourselves, we'll see you later!"

As she spoke, she touched Murong Xi's little head again, "Xi'er, goodbye!"

"Can't you come with us to Jiangnan? Mom said Jiangnan is very beautiful and has a lot of delicious food!"

Xue Youli met Murong Xi's eager eyes, raised his hand to indicate a height, and coaxed her softly, "When you grow up to this height, I will go to Jiangnan to see you!"

"really?"

"Really? I never lie to children."

"Okay, let's pinky promise!"

Murong Xi stretched out his chubby little hand, hooked his pinky finger through hers, and said in a baby voice, "Let's make a pinky promise. Don't change it for a hundred years!"

Rong Qingyue looked at Xue Youli and raised the corner of her mouth, "Ali, can I call you that?"

Xue Youli nodded without hesitation, "Of course!"

"Although I'm reluctant to leave, all good things must come to an end. See you later!"

Rong Qingyue picked up her son and got on the carriage. The driver whipped the horse and the carriage drove slowly along the official road into the depths of the peach forest.

Xue Youli watched the carriage go farther and farther away, silently blessing the mother and son in her heart, hoping that their future life would be as gorgeous and romantic as this peach blossom tree!

?

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

In late summer and early autumn, the weather is still hot and humid.

Xue Youli's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

That day, she was walking in the Imperial Garden when she saw Chu Xinyue walking towards her from a distance, "Ali!"

Xue Youli looked at her slightly bulging belly and quickly warned her, "Walk slower! You said you're four months pregnant, why are you still so anxious?"

Chu Xinyue stuck out her tongue at her. "I heard your due date is approaching. I'm worried about you being alone, so I'm going to stay with you in the palace for a while! I'll go back after you give birth!"

Xue Youli immediately hugged Chu Xinyue's arm and said coquettishly, "Thank you, Ah Yue!"

Chu Xinyue snorted, "Don't give me that! When I give birth, you have to go to Prince Kang's Mansion to accompany me!"

Xue Youli agreed immediately, "Then I will definitely arrange everything for you!"

The two were chatting and laughing when Xue Youli suddenly felt a warm current flowing from her abdomen.

Chu Xinyue saw her holding her stomach and nervously supported her, "Ali, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Youli replied, "I... am about to give birth!"

……

When Murong Che heard that she was about to give birth, he dropped all his government affairs and rushed to Fengyi Palace as soon as possible.

The door of the bedroom was closed. Xue Youli was lying on the bed, biting a piece of silk cloth in her mouth.

Banxia stood at the head of the bed, cheering her up, holding a plate of ginseng slices in her hand, "My Queen! Push harder! Push harder!"

The midwives were standing by the bed, one of them holding a pair of scissors in her hand.

"My Lady! I can see the child's head! Try harder!"

Xue Youli's hair was soaked with sweat, and she was in agony lying on the bed.

Giving birth to a child is something that not everyone can endure. After giving birth to this one, she never wants to have another one!

Chu Xinyue sat on the edge of the bed, holding Xue Youli's hands tightly with both hands, "Ali, you're already great! Try harder!"

"It hurts so much... Ah Yue... I've never suffered such a great pain in my life..."

Xue Youli tore off the silk cloth from her mouth and spoke to her intermittently. In the end, she was in so much pain that she had no strength left. She turned her head and bit Chu Xinyue's arm.

"what--!!!"

Murong Che was staying outside. When he heard the screams from the bedroom, he was about to break in. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized that the screams were full of energy and were not Xue Youli's voice.

"Woo-wah-wah-"

Not long after, a loud baby cry was heard from the hall.

Then, the midwife came out holding a baby. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Queen has given birth to a little prince!"

Murong Che glanced at his crying son and asked with a frown, "How is the Queen?"

"The Empress was exhausted from giving birth and fainted from exhaustion. But Your Majesty, don't worry. The Imperial Physician has already diagnosed the Empress. As long as she gets enough rest, she will wake up soon."

Murong Che breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Your Majesty, look at the little prince. He looks so much like you!"

Murong Che ignored the midwife and turned to Banxia, ​​saying, "Take the little prince away! He's too noisy. Don't disturb the Queen's rest."

"Yes!"

The newborn baby seemed to cry even louder when Banxia took him away.

Murong Che ignored his son and walked into the bedroom in two steps.

As soon as you step into the temple, you can smell the faint smell of blood in the air.

When Chu Xinyue saw the man approaching, she bowed and tactfully left the hall.

Murong Che looked at the woman who had passed out on the big bed. He raised his hand to push aside her sweat-soaked hair from her cheek, then leaned over and kissed her forehead, his eyes full of pity. "Ali, you've worked so hard!"

Xue Youli closed her eyes tightly, her long hair spread messily on the pillow.

Murong Che stared at her pale face, his heart tightening in his chest.

He just sat beside her on the bed, quietly accompanying her, with only one thought in his mind: childbirth was too torturous, so he would not let her have children in the future.
