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

The night was dark and the Imperial Garden was silent, making it a perfect time for stealing and robbing.

In order not to attract other people's attention, Shen Ruolan didn't even take the palace lantern, and walked stealthily with Yuzhu towards the pavilion where they had agreed to meet in the letter of challenge.

As June approached, the weather gradually became hotter, and bamboo curtains were installed around the pavilion to block the sun.

It does provide a good place for a tryst for those with restless minds.

Although there were no lights in the pavilion, the palace lanterns hanging not far away cast two figures in the pavilion on the bamboo curtains, one figure was tall and slender, and the other figure was as petite as a bird.

Shen Ruolan's eyes widened, her excitement far greater than her anger. "I knew that bitch Xue Youli wasn't wholeheartedly devoted to the Emperor! She and Meng Xingzhi still have feelings for each other, and they're having an affair!"

Very good!

This time, she finally caught Xue Youli's handle!

"what!"

However, before she could ask Yuzhu to go and see if the emperor had arrived, a scream suddenly came from the pavilion.

Shen Ruolan was startled and quickly looked towards the pavilion.

On the bamboo curtain, the male shadow stabbed the female shadow's heart with a dagger in his hand.

Then, the female shadow slowly fell to the ground.

Is Meng Xingzhi crazy?

The good show she had prepared had not yet begun, so why did he kill Xue Youli with a single knife?

"Xue Youli, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless. It was Shen Ruolan who made me do this! If you become a ghost after you die, don't come looking for me. Go find her!"

A gloomy male voice came from the pavilion.

Shen Ruolan became angry when she heard the other party mention her name.

What nonsense is Meng Xingzhi talking about?

The emperor will be here soon. If Meng Xingzhi talks nonsense in front of the emperor and exposes her, it will be all over!

Shen Ruolan thought of this and quickly said to Yuzhu, "You stay here and I'll go in and take a look at the situation!"

In the pavilion, Chu Xinyue, dressed in men's clothing, looked at Xue Youli, who was sitting on the ground, and lowered her voice to ask for praise, "Ali, did I act like a real person just now?"

Xue Youli gave her a thumbs up and said, "With your acting skills, if you enter the entertainment industry, you will definitely win an Oscar!"

Chu Xinyue was about to respond when her ears twitched. The smile on her face froze and her tone became serious, "She's coming this way!"

Xue Youli glanced at Meng Xingzhi who was lying unconscious on the ground, bent down and searched his body to find the purse embroidered for him by the original owner, and tied another purse that she had prepared in advance around his waist.

Then she turned her gaze to the incense burner under the stone table.

Chu Xinyue understood and took out a fire stick from her waist, "I'll light the incense."

Seeing her light the incense, Xue Youli took out two masks made by Banxia and handed one to her, "Put it on."

"Good Le!"

As soon as Chu Xinyue took the mask, she saw Xue Youli pour a glass of cold water and splash it on Meng Xingzhi's face.

Meng Xingzhi shuddered and immediately woke up from his coma.

The light in the pavilion was dim. He opened his eyes and looked at the figure standing in front of him holding an empty teacup, his expression a little dazed.

He remembered that when he was on duty last night, a palace maid secretly slipped him a note, asking him to meet her in the Imperial Garden tonight.

Although there was no signature on it, he recognized it as Xue Youli's handwriting.

More than three months ago, in order to get good results in the palace examination, he deliberately distanced himself from Xue Youli and showed his goodwill to Song Jingsi, the granddaughter of Song Taifu.

Song Jingsi was very interested in him at first, but after he was selected into the palace, she directly rejected him.

Meng Xingzhi wanted to go back to find Xue Youli at that time. After all, Xue Youli, that woman, tried to commit suicide in the Xue Mansion in order to make him change his mind.

However, as soon as he approached the Xue Mansion, he was chased out by Xue Youli's third brother with a broom.

He held a grudge against the Xue family for what they had done. After the palace examination, Song Jingqian, the eldest grandson of Song Taifu, said that Xue Youli's second brother had cheated in the examination and asked everyone to sign to testify for him.

He saw that many candidates had signed, and thinking that Xue Youli was unkind to him, he did not miss this good opportunity to curry favor with Song Jingqian and signed as well.

Unexpectedly, the case of cheating in the palace examination was tried by the emperor himself. The emperor cleared Xue Wuyang of the charges and exiled Song Jingqian thousands of miles away.

As for those candidates who testified for Song Jingqian, they were also implicated and were banned from taking the imperial examinations for the rest of their lives.

His future was ruined and he was on the verge of having a career in officialdom. Then a mysterious person found him and said that he could get him a job in the palace.

Although he was just a night watchman, he was still paid by the emperor. If he could make friends with the powerful and influential, he would be able to rise to the top.

After working as a night watchman for a few days, Meng Xingzhi realized that he had no contact with anyone other than the palace maids and eunuchs who poured night incense and cleaned the chamber pot.

Just when his dream was about to be shattered, he received a note from 'Xue Youli'.

Originally, Xue Youli killed his sister, and if he saw her again, he would definitely ask for an explanation for his sister.

However, seeing that Xue Youli still had feelings for him, he would forgive her as long as she could persuade the emperor and get him a position as a royal guard!

However, tonight, as soon as he arrived at the pavilion where Xue Youli had arranged to meet him, he was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious.

At this moment, Meng Xingzhi looked at the two masked men in front of him and hid under the stone table in fear. "Do you know who I am? I'm warning you, be careful. I know the nobles in the palace. If you dare to lay a finger on me, I will make you lose your head!"

Chu Xinyue looked at the coward lying on the ground, pointed at Shen Ruolan outside the pavilion, and sneered, "The noble person you're talking about isn't the one outside?"

There was no moonlight tonight, and there were no lights in the pavilion. Meng Xingzhi watched Shen Ruolan lift the bamboo curtain and come in. He didn't even have time to carefully identify her face before rushing over and hugging her, "I missed you so much!"

Xue Youli looked at the curling green smoke rising from the incense burner, pulled Chu Xinyue and quietly left the pavilion.

Shen Ruolan came over to check the situation and was suddenly hugged by a man. She was so scared that her face turned pale.

Thinking that the concubines who came to watch the fun were probably on their way, she gritted her teeth and dragged Meng Xingzhi into the pavilion. "I ask you! What did you do to Xue Youli? Did you kill her?"

Meng Xingzhi had just sat down beside the stone table, very close to the incense burner, and inhaled a lot of fragrance.

His mind was already confused and he couldn't hear what Shen Ruolan was saying at all.

He pressed Shen Ruolan against the pillar of the pavilion and instinctively put his mouth close to her face. "Tell me... do you love the emperor or me..."

Shen Ruolan used all her strength to push him away, but Meng Xingzhi was as heavy as a dead pig. No matter how hard she tried, he didn't move at all.

Panic reached its peak, and her voice was hoarse. "Let me go! If you dare to touch me, I will kill you!"

Meng Xingzhi hugged her and refused to let go. "Don't you love me? Don't you want me? I will satisfy you tonight!"

"Go away... Go away..."

At first, Shen Ruolan struggled hard, but gradually, a warmth spread through her blood and spread to every part of her body.

She pushed Meng Xingzhi's hands and uncontrollably tore open her collar.

The next moment, she opened her arms and hugged Meng Xingzhi...
