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

[How could this be so deceiving? Leo was still alive just a few minutes ago. How could he be silenced so suddenly?]

[But it doesn't matter. If we can find Little Leo, we can follow the clues and find the person who ordered him!]

However, Xue Youli discovered that after Murong Che read Xiao Lizi's suicide note, there was something wrong with the way he looked at her.

[Is it what I thought? Did Leo mention me in his suicide note?]

Murong Che naturally knew that Yin Xuan'er's injury had nothing to do with Xue Youli, but in the suicide note, Little Leo had pointed fingers at Xue Youli, saying that she had instructed him to spill the beans.

It can be seen that there is someone behind Leo.

In order to ensure the success of this plan, the other party must have arranged more than one person.

The best way to remove all the spies in the library at once is to...

Murong Che quickly adjusted his facial expression and threw the suicide note at Xue Youli, "Miss Xue, please read it yourself."

Xue Youli quickly scanned the contents of the suicide note and defended herself, "I don't know Little Li, and I didn't order him to do anything. Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Wang Defa, call the palace maids and eunuchs from the library over for questioning."

"Yes!"

Soon, the palace maids and eunuchs in the library knelt in a row on the ground.

After Wang Defa asked some questions, two palace maids immediately pointed out that Xue Youli had secretly talked to Xiao Lizi when she came to the library a few days ago.

"I was cleaning the bookshelves at the time, quite far away from Lady Xue and Little Li, so I didn't hear what they said."

"I happened to see this by accident while watering the calamus on the windowsill, and I didn't hear clearly what Lady Xue and Little Li were talking about."

After hearing what they said, Xue Youli remembered that she came here to look for a medical book. Little Lizi saw that she hadn't found it yet, so he came over and asked if she needed help.

It turned out that Xue Qingyao had already laid out the plan since that time.

Now the two palace maids did not directly identify her, but said such ambiguous words, which deepened the suspicion on Xue Youli.

As the victim, Yin Xuan'er bit her lip and looked at Murong Che until tears overflowed from her eyes. Then she spoke with a tone of having survived a disaster, "Thankfully, God has mercy on me. I only suffered minor injuries when I fell down the stairs. Otherwise, even if the Emperor had rushed here today, I might not have been able to see you for the last time!"

Xue Qingyao saw this and knew the time was almost right. She looked at Xue Youli in astonishment and said, "Sister Xue, Consort Yin taught you the rules for your own good. How could you do such a foolish thing?"

With her as the instigator, Concubine Tan also seized the opportunity to step on Xue Youli, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is vicious and plotted to murder Concubine Yin. This must not be tolerated!"

"The evidence is irrefutable. Your Majesty, please punish Concubine Xue severely!"

These new concubines who had entered the palace had not yet served the emperor in bed, but they all jumped out to step on Xue Youli.

[You guys are destined to be disappointed. After all, my friendship with Murong Che is much stronger than you think!]

Xue Youli was not panicked at all. Xue Qingyao's method could deceive the foolish palace concubine, but it was impossible to completely convince Murong Che.

After all, Leo's death was suspicious, and the palace maid's so-called testimony was too coincidental.

Most importantly, the timelines don't match.

She was punished by Yin Xuan'er to kneel down and pick beans yesterday, but she conspired with Xiao Lizi to scatter the beans a few days ago. Is this reasonable?

Do these people think they can deceive Murong Che with just a few words?

That's thinking too simply of the ruler of a country!

"Wang Defa, pass on my decree. Concubine Xue has committed insubordination and is to be immediately sent to the cold palace to reflect on her actions!"

"Me? The cold palace???"

The slap in the face came too quickly and Xue Youli was caught off guard.

So, she thought too much about being the king of a country?

"Murong Che, you've been tricked by two little palace maids. If you don't die young, who will? I really doubt how you ascended to the throne with your intelligence. Did you just pick up the throne by accident?"

But no matter how angry or upset he was, Xue Youli never joked about his life.

Her brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to use the flaws in the maid's testimony to escape. At the same time, she threw herself at Murong Che's feet and hugged the man's thighs tightly, "Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

"Murong Che, use your pig brain! If I were to commit murder or arson, would I leave such obvious evidence right in front of everyone? You sent me to the cold palace, do you still want to cure your misogyny? Don't you even think about who I'm spending my days in the library flipping through medical books for? huh?!"

Murong Che listened to the roar in her heart, and when he pulled her arm with his big hand, he pinched her arm twice without leaving any trace.

Then he pretended that he couldn't pull Xue Youli's hand away and yelled at the eunuch beside him, "Wang Defa, are you all dead? Hurry and take them away!"

After being pinched by him, Xue Youli finally realized that Murong Che had deliberately sent her to the cold palace, and he must have wanted to eradicate the person behind the scenes.

It seems that the escape route she found for herself is not useful for the time being.

"Hurry up and take Concubine Xue away!" Wang Defa ordered two young eunuchs to go forward and pull Xue Youli.

Before the young eunuch's hand touched Xue Youli, she had already let go of Murong Che.

Xue Qingyao watched Xue Youli being taken to the cold palace, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes.

Some people may think that being banished to the cold palace is the end of it, but Xue Qingyao was banished to the cold palace twice in her previous life.

She knew very well that as long as a person was still alive, there was hope of turning the tide.

Therefore, she would not be at peace until Xue Youli passed away.

In the library, many concubines felt relieved and sympathetic when they saw Xue Youli being dragged away.

Being in the harem, where murder is everywhere, what does it matter even if you were once favored?

If you make a wrong move, you will fall from the clouds into the quagmire.

Murong Che seemed impatient to deal with this matter anymore. He said a few words of concern to Yin Xuan'er and then left.

After leaving the library, Murong Che secretly instructed Wang Defa, "Take the lead in identifying Concubine Xue's two palace maids. I'll find a reason to deal with them in a few days."

"Yes."

From what happened just now, Wang Defa could tell at a glance that someone was deliberately targeting Lady Xue.

"Over at the Cold Palace, do you know what to do?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will make all the arrangements!"

The cold palace is located at the northernmost part of the harem.

The location is remote, dilapidated and desolate.

After Xue Youli was imprisoned in the cold palace, Banxia was also sent in.

The eunuch in charge of the cold palace received the secret order and immediately came out to greet him, smiling flatteringly and fawningly, "Madam Xue's sudden arrival in the cold palace is truly a great honor for us! I have already ordered people to tidy up your quarters, and I will show you the way!"

Xue Youli saw that he was quick-witted and clever, so she looked up at the ID card above his head and asked knowingly, "What's your name?"

[Name: Xiao Zhongzi, 19 years old. While serving in the imperial court, he offended someone by flattering the wrong person and was subsequently sent to the cold palace.]

"Your servant, Xiao Zhongzi, is staying in the cold palace for a short time. Please feel free to tell me anything you need. If there is anything missing, just tell me! I promise to take care of it for you!"

Xiao Zhongzi took her to a separate courtyard in the cold palace, opened the door, and found the room spotlessly clean.

Xue Youli looked around and saw a bed, a cabinet, a table, and even a dressing table.

Although it is a bit simple, it has everything it needs.

It turns out that even if you live in the cold palace, you will be treated differently if you have someone above you or not.

"Not bad, pretty good."

"Then I will not disturb your rest."

After Xiao Zhongzi left, Banxia's eyes immediately turned red. "Master, you see, the cold palace is not that scary. I will always be with you! Relax and take good care of yourself. Don't fall down... Wuuwuwu..."

Before she could finish her words, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xue Youli patted her back and soothed her, "Be good, don't cry! Just think of us being in the cold palace as a place for further training. Once we're gilded, we can go out and kill everyone."

"Really? Can we still go out?"

"Of course, just enjoy the quiet days here. After all, we won't be staying here for long."

Banxia is easy to coax. Once she calms down, she will take the initiative to make the bed and tidy up the room.

In the evening, the two took a walk in the yard and then went back to the house to sleep.

however!

Not long after they lay down, a dark shadow sneaked into the cold palace and pried open the gate silently.
