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

Outside the pavilion, Chu Xinyue had changed back into women's clothes and asked Erxi to send her men's clothes back to the Cining Palace.

She looked at the two shadows lying on the stone table in the pavilion, smacked her lips, and said it was too unbearable to look at.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Shen Ruolan added the strongest spices to the incense burner. To distance herself from the matter, she gave the task of lighting the incense to me. Now let her experience for herself what it's like to suffer the consequences of her own actions!"

Xue Youli also cast his gaze towards the pavilion. Listening to the trembling sound of the stone table inside, he narrowed his eyes coldly, "Thank goodness you were here this time, otherwise I don't know what I would have faced!"

"Even without me, with your clever little brain, you'll definitely be able to escape danger... Someone's coming this way!"

Chu Xinyue was halfway through her words when she heard a flurry of footsteps approaching from afar.

She frowned and quickly pulled Xue Youli to hide behind a rockery not far away.

There was more than one wave of people coming.

Xue Qingyao and the concubines from the harem who came to join in the fun and Murong Che who came to cheer for Xue Youli happened to run into each other.

Xue Qingyao looked at the large group of palace maids and eunuchs behind Murong Che, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

Now Xue Youli is probably going to be famous throughout the harem!

"Meet the Emperor!"

Murong Che glanced at the dozen or so concubines headed by Xue Qingyao and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Majesty, I and my sisters couldn't sleep. We heard that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond have bloomed, so we came together to see them." Concubine Tan, who was following Xue Qingyao, spoke first.

When others heard this, they all echoed it.

"Yes, the night is long and lonely, so we want to spend some time admiring the lotus with our sisters."

"Your Majesty, is this also to admire the lotus?"

"Ah."

Murong Che responded casually. He knew the purpose of their coming to the Imperial Garden, but he did not point it out.

These women just want to watch the fun, right?

Then let them have their wish.

"Since you are all here to admire the lotus, then come with me to the pond and take a look."

Xue Qingyao said shyly, "We are truly flattered to be able to visit the Imperial Garden with the Emperor."

Murong Che glanced at her quietly and walked towards the lotus pond.

However, before they had gone far, a concubine suddenly pointed in the direction of the pavilion and shouted, "Your Majesty, there seems to be some movement in the pavilion!"

"I heard it too!"

Lady Tan and Xue Qingyao exchanged a glance and immediately raised their voices, "That pavilion over there is closest to the lotus pond. Could it be that some sisters have already secured a good spot ahead of us?"

"Then let's go and take a look!"

"Yes! Such a great place to enjoy the lotus, sisters, go and take advantage of it!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, and followed them in a hurry.

As they got closer, one of the concubines suddenly paused, "Huh? This sound... sounds a little off."

"Yeah! Why do I hear... a man's voice?"

"It's indeed quite similar!"

Everyone had different expressions and couldn't help but look at Murong Che, wanting to see his reaction.

Murong Chejun's face showed no emotion, and he simply instructed Wang Defa, "Go lift the bamboo curtain of the pavilion and see who's inside."

"Yes!"

Wang Defa led two young eunuchs over to lift the bamboo curtain. When he saw the scene in the pavilion, his old face flushed, "Oh my God!"

"Eunuch Wang, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Xue Qingyao deliberately led the concubines to rush towards the pavilion, "What happened? Who is in the pavilion?"

Although the other concubines had not served in the emperor's bed, the noise in the pavilion was so loud, who could not hear what the people inside were doing?

Life in the harem was boring, and it was rare to have such a big melon to eat, so they stared into the pavilion with wide eyes.

Miss Tan was the most active and rushed in first.

She stood outside the pavilion, looking at the two figures entangled inside, and almost laughed out loud.

Even if Xue Youli is very cunning and has many tricks up his sleeve, what does it matter?

It was all because of Shen Ruolan that he suffered a huge setback!

Now that the emperor and all the concubines have seen with their own eyes that she has an affair with a foreign man, she can't deny it even if she has mouths all over her body!

Concubine Tan couldn't wait to speak, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue came to the Imperial Garden in the dark to meet with a man from outside the palace. Such a shameless act by a single man and a single woman has polluted the eyes of Your Majesty and defiled the harem! Please, Your Majesty, execute Concubine Xue and purge the palace!"

The concubines that Shen Ruolan invited tonight were all jealous of Xue Youli's favor.

When they heard this, they immediately reacted.

It turns out that the reason we invited everyone to the Imperial Garden tonight is not to enjoy the lotus flowers at night, but to eat Concubine Xue’s melons!

Xue Youli looks like a vixen and has bewitched the emperor, but they don't have enough family background to challenge Xue Youli.

Now that Xue Youli was caught in the act of meeting a man outside her family, it was a pleasant surprise for them!

The clever concubines came out one after another and took the opportunity to step on Xue Youli, intending to work together to crush her to death.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xue has become arrogant due to her favor and has committed such a debauchery in the harem. I beg Your Majesty to punish her severely!"

"Our dynasty's laws stipulate that if a concubine in the harem does anything that undermines the dignity of the royal family, she must be given a cup of poisoned wine! Your Majesty, Concubine Xue has behaved in a manner that is not worthy of respect. She must not be allowed to stay!"

Seeing that Murong Che hadn't expressed his feelings yet, Concubine Tan simply knelt before him, filled with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty! I know you truly love Concubine Xue, but she has committed such a shameful act. We must not tolerate it and encourage the evil tendencies in the harem!"

No matter how obsessed Murong Che is with Xue Youli, he would never stay with this woman who cheated on him in public!

Murong Che swept his eyes over the faces of these women one by one and asked in a deep voice, "What about the others? Do they have the same attitude?"

Duan Cainü, who was standing at the end of the crowd, was forcibly pulled over by Concubine Tan.

She just came here to join the crowd.

She lived with Xue Youli in Lingyun Palace, and they saw each other every day. They had come into contact with each other several times, and she felt that Xue Youli was not as arrogant and domineering as the other concubines said.

Therefore, she took another look into the pavilion. Although her influence was limited, she still mustered the courage to step out and kneel before Murong Che. "Your Majesty, having a secret meeting with a man outside your family is indeed a serious crime, but I think it is inappropriate to jump to conclusions before clearly seeing who is in the pavilion."

"Oh?"

Murong Che didn't expect someone to speak up for Xue Youli. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"

This was the first time Duan Cainu had spoken to the emperor since entering the palace, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

She took a deep breath and raised her voice, "I think we should ask the people in the pavilion to come out first, and then we can judge and punish them!"

Xue Qingyao had never expected that among the concubines tonight there was a woman who was looking for an opportunity to win the emperor's favor.

She quickly stepped out of the line and knelt beside Duan Cainv. "I think what Duan Cainv said is absolutely right! No matter who the person in the pavilion is, she should be allowed to come out first and confront him face to face. When the time comes, whether the emperor banishes her to the cold palace or orders her to be executed, I believe she will be convinced!"

Murong Che looked down at the people kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Wang Defa, light the lamp!"

Xue Qingyao lowered her head. After hearing Murong Che's order to light the lights, she felt refreshed and could hardly suppress the smile on her lips.

It seems that she had underestimated Shen Ruolan before. When people are forced into a desperate situation, they will dare to use any cruel tricks.

Xue Youli, tonight I will watch you go to hell with my own eyes!
