Seeing her steady as an old dog, Chu Xinyue couldn't help but ask, "Ali, what they said about Meng Xingzhi having your wallet was false, right?"

"No, there is indeed one. The original owner embroidered it herself and gave it to Meng Xingzhi."

"Then let's quickly find a way to take the purse away. We can't wait for them to prove it!"

Xue Youli blinked at her and said, "The one who embroidered the purse is the original Xue Youli. What does that have to do with me, Concubine Xue?"

Anyway, she doesn't know how to embroider a purse.

Chu Xinyue thought about it and nodded, "That's right. I'll find a way to get your wallet back for you. But they're not only using Meng Xingzhi to fabricate your rumor, but to make it work, Shen Ruolan is planning to use that drug on you and Meng Xingzhi!"

It was indeed a wise decision to let her be an undercover agent. Shen Ruolan treated her as her own and told her everything.

Xue Youli met her worried expression and reached out to pinch her cheek. "Well, they worked so hard to get the medicine into the palace. I will definitely arrange for it for her!"

Chu Xinyue looked at her best friend's expression as if she was about to do something bad, rubbed her hands, and said with an eager expression, "What can I do for you?"

“Bring two extra bags of sunflower seeds!”

When Chu Xinyue left Shuiyuexuan, she kicked over another flowerpot in Shuiyuexuan.

Banxia heard the sound of a porcelain basin breaking and immediately ran over to clean up the mess. "Master, can't we ask the Emperor to take care of Princess Qinghe? She's been coming here every day to smash things. There were eighteen flower pots in the yard, and now only two are left."

Xue Youli looked at her pouting lips, which looked like they could hang a bottle of oil from them, and said with a smile, "Go to the imperial kitchen and ask the chef to make some ginseng soup. I'll go to Zicheng Palace and take it to the emperor later."

I have to inform Murong Che about meeting Meng Xingzhi tonight.

Only when Murong Che is at ease will she have no worries.

To be honest, Shen Hongwen was imprisoned and the Anguo Mansion was gone. If she were Shen Ruolan, she would live like a dead person in the harem and perhaps she could find a way to survive.

But since Shen Ruolan insisted on making trouble, she didn't mind seeing her off!

When Banxia heard Xue Youli say she was going to deliver ginseng soup, she thought she had finally figured it out and was going to go to the emperor to complain about Princess Qinghe. She hurriedly said, "Master, please wait a moment. I'll go to the imperial kitchen right away!"

……

In Zicheng Palace, Murong Che was still reading the memorials.

Ever since Shen Hongwen fell from power, the memorials impeaching him have piled up higher than a mountain.

Murong Che couldn't help but sneer as he watched these people's words. The people who protected Shen Hongwen in the past were the same people who were trying desperately to trample him to death now.

I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse...

What is said in the opera is absolutely true.

Murong Che frowned and stared at the memorial coldly. Wang Defa's voice came from outside the hall.

"Noble Lady Xue has arrived—"

Murong Che's brows relaxed a little when he heard this. He looked up and saw Xue Youli coming in with a food box.

"Your Majesty is very busy with state affairs, and I am unable to share the burden with you, so I personally made ginseng soup for you to nourish your body."

"You have a heart."

Murong Che recalled the pigeon soup she had cooked last time, which tasted even blander than the tea he drank. He coughed lightly and said, "Put it aside for now. I'll drink it after I finish reviewing the memorials I have on hand."

"Your Majesty, I can approve this memorial later. Please take care of your health and balance work and rest!"

This soup has been stale since it traveled from the Imperial Kitchen to Lingyun Hall, and then from Lingyun Hall to Zicheng Hall. The Imperial Chef specifically told Banxia that the ginseng soup must be drunk while it's hot; it won't taste as good if it cools down. If Murong Che drinks it later, it will affect his objective evaluation of my cooking.

It turned out to be a soup cooked in the imperial kitchen, so it shouldn't be that bad.

As for her cooking skills, he still remembers the bland pigeon soup vividly.

Murong Che put down the wolf-hair brush in his hand and said, "I am so grateful for your kindness. How can I let you down?"

Xue Youli watched the man reaching out his hand towards the soup bowl, her eyes rolled, and she stretched out her slender white hand to stop the big, bony hand.

Murong Che glanced at the soft hand covering his hand and raised his eyebrows at her.

Xue Youli's almond-shaped eyes curved, and she stared at the man with a smile, "Your Majesty, may I feed you?"

As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful, blew on it gently, and handed it to the man's lips.

Murong Che's eyes swept across her rosy and plump lips, his deep eyes darkened for a moment, then he lowered his head and took the spoon she handed him.

"Your Majesty, isn't the soup I made delicious?"

[Although it was cooked by the chef in the imperial kitchen, I brought it here myself, so it's almost like I cooked it myself!]

Murong Che met her smiling eyes, but did not expose her. He chuckled and nodded, "Not bad."

"If it tastes good, drink more!"

Seeing that the man had a good appetite, Xue Youli fed him the entire bowl of ginseng soup, "Your Majesty, let me wipe your mouth."

She raised her hand to use a handkerchief to wipe the corner of the man's mouth, but Murong Che grabbed her wrist with his big hand and pulled her into his arms with a slight force.

Xue Youli didn't hesitate and sat on his lap openly. She raised her index finger and drew circles on the man's chest muscles. "Your Majesty, can you come to the lakeside pavilion in the Imperial Garden at midnight tonight?"

Murong Che himself did not realize that not only did he not reject Xue Youli's closeness, he even enjoyed it.

At this moment, his big hands were gently caressing her waist, and he casually asked, "Why?"

Xue Youli handed the man the declaration of war Chu Xinyue had issued to her, and said in a coquettish tone, "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe has challenged me to a fight. Won't you go and cheer me on?"

Murong Che raised his eyebrows. "Shouldn't fighting start early? Why are you guys meeting so late?"

They arranged a date for me with a so-called lover. How could it be convincing if it wasn't in the middle of the night?

Xue Youli's face was full of innocence. "Perhaps Princess Qinghe is afraid of losing the fight and can't bear the humiliation. So, please ask His Majesty to clear the area in advance and have the guards patrolling the Imperial Garden avoid the pavilion during that time."

Adhering to the principle of 'I would rather die than let my friend die', she ruined Princess Qinghe's reputation for extraordinary skills.

Murong Che curled his lips meaningfully, "It looks like there will be a fierce battle tonight. If that's the case, I will definitely be there tonight!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

?

Night falls.

Minghua Palace.

"You said Xue Youli has already left Lingyun Palace?"

After Shen Ruolan heard what her maid Yuzhu said, she asked again with concern, "Is the information reliable?"

Xue Youli is a sinister and cunning person, so she must be careful not to be deceived.

Yuzhu nodded without hesitation. "I saw Concubine Xue and her maid leave Lingyun Palace and head towards the Imperial Garden. I have come back to report this to you without stopping!"

"Later, find someone new to go to Zicheng Palace and tell the Emperor that Concubine Xue has been in trouble in the Imperial Garden. Tell the Emperor to rescue her immediately! Also, the night is long, and the sisters in the harem will surely be sleepless. Send someone to invite them to go to the Imperial Garden to watch a play together!"

Shen Ruolan narrowed her beautiful eyes, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes.

Tonight, she will let everyone know that Xue Youli is a cheap bastard who only knows how to show off her charm!

"Yes!"

After tonight's matter is accomplished, she will find a way to sleep with him. If she can give birth to a boy, the emperor's eldest son, it is hard to say who will have the last laugh!

"Yuzhu, accompany me to the Imperial Garden. The moonlight is beautiful tonight. Let's go and admire the moon."

Yuzhu looked up at the dark night without a single star, and doubts arose in her heart.

Can they see the moon tonight?
