"Mrs. Xue is thoughtful."

Yin Xuan'er stared at the sachet for a moment, her lips curled meaningfully, "Qinghe, it's rare for Lady Xue to be so kind, please accept the sachet."

Xue Qingyao smiled and said, "We are far from the lotus pond here. We have sachets to repel insects, so we will be able to sleep well at night."

Yin Xuan'er also smiled, "Madam Xue is so thoughtful. I don't know how to thank you."

Xue Qingyao bowed respectfully to Yin Xuan'er and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. I came to the capital from Lingzhou alone. I hope that Your Majesty can take care of me in the future."

Yin Xuan'er understood that Xue Qingyao came to surrender to her.

After all, she had fought with Xue Youli several times and ended up in failure, so she wanted to rely on this big tree and instigate herself to deal with Xue Youli.

However, Yin Xuan'er is not that fool like Shen Ruolan, so how could she be used as a gun by Xue Qingyao?

Since this woman wants to surrender to her, she has to show some sincerity.

Thinking of this, Yin Xuan'er smiled slightly, "After thinking about it carefully, I realize that what Lady Xue said just now is not without reason. This palace is surrounded by mountains and water, and the climate is humid. Without your sachet, it would easily attract poisonous insects, snakes, and ants!"

Then it is reasonable that among the poisonous insects, snakes and ants that were attracted, one or two crawled to the head of Xue Youli's bed, right?

How could Xue Qingyao not guess Yin Xuan'er's subtext?

"What the Concubine Zhaoyi said is absolutely right. I will go back to the courtyard to fumigate with mugwort and hang sachets, to prevent any poisonous creatures from crawling into the courtyard at night."

After Xue Qingyao left, Qinghe immediately asked Yin Xuaner, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the sachet given by Lady Xue?"

Yin Xuan'er twitched her red lips and uttered two words coldly, "Throw it away."

She hated Xue Youli, but Xue Qingyao was not a good person either!

Regardless of whether this sachet has an insect repellent effect, if you rashly keep the enemy's things with you, it might become a handle to frame you one day.

For safety reasons, she would never give anyone any chance to frame her.

"Yes."

Of course Qinghe would not throw away the sachet casually. Instead, she found a hidden place, dug a hole and buried the sachet in it.

Yin Xuan'er entered her courtyard and looked at the simple furnishings in the house. She was so angry that she smashed a pair of vases in the hall to pieces. "Xue Youli! This is too much!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Seeing this, Qing He quickly advised, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xue has taken your residence without any regard for the proper manners. Why don't we go to the Empress Dowager and file a complaint against her? The Empress Dowager loves you the most and will definitely stand up for you!"

Yin Xuan'er glanced at her coldly, "What do you know? If my aunt knew that I couldn't even handle such a small matter, I'm afraid she would ask my father to send my sister to the palace."

The Yin family has more than one daughter. If she is unable to climb to the position of queen, there are naturally many people who can replace her.

Besides, her aunt was particularly fond of Chu Xinyue and had previously wanted to give her to the emperor as a concubine. She couldn't let Chu Xinyue's status surpass hers.

Yin Xuan'er had originally planned to take the opportunity of coming to the palace to escape the summer heat to get closer to her aunt, but now all her plans have been disrupted by Xue Youli.

Xue Youli took advantage of the emperor's favor to snatch her residence. How could she let her go easily?

I just hope Xue Qingyao won't let her down this time.

……

At this moment, Xue Youli had already moved into the yard that she had fought for with a bowl of sour plum soup.

I have to say that this yard is really nice. It is not only spacious, but also has a large lotus pond.

The pond is filled with graceful lotus flowers, and the lotus leaves are like open green umbrellas, scattered throughout the pond.

When the breeze blows, the lotus flowers sway gracefully, emitting bursts of elegant fragrance, which is refreshing and pleasant.

"Your place has beautiful scenery, it's a prime location for Feng Shui! No wonder Yin Xuan'er almost wanted to punch two holes in you when she left just now."

Chu Xinyue didn't go through the main gate, but climbed over the wall and slipped into Xue Youli's yard.

Xue Youli didn't think that he had stolen Yin Xuaner's things, and Yin Xuaner's name was not written on the yard.

Besides, when it comes to palace fighting, the women in the harem have to rely on their own abilities to get what they want.

Yin Xuan'er can rely on her blood relationship with the empress dowager to choose her residence first, and she can rely on the emperor's favor to change her residence.

It's just a matter of who has a stronger backing.

Xue Youli glanced at Chu Xinyue, who was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, and raised an eyebrow, "Why are you here at this hour? Don't you need to accompany the Queen Mother?"

Chu Xinyue curled her lips. "The Queen Mother was tired after sitting in the carriage for so long. She wanted to rest for an hour before the banquet and asked no one to disturb her. So, as soon as I had some free time, I rushed over to see you, my dear sister."

Xue Youli saw beads of sweat on Chu Xinyue's forehead and pointed to the pavilion beside the lotus pond and said to her, "Come on, let's sit in the pavilion and chat while enjoying the cool air."

After saying that, he was about to call Banxia, ​​but then he remembered that she was packing her luggage, so he immediately turned around and called out to Xiao Zhongzi, "Xiao Zhongzi, make a pot of herbal tea."

"Okay!" Xiao Zhongzi quickly brought the herbal tea over.

He glanced at Chu Xinyue, understood what she meant, put down the tea set, and quietly retreated.

He even walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked out for them.

In fact, he had long noticed that Princess Qinghe had a special relationship with his master.

However, since the master doesn't want outsiders to know their true relationship, he, as a servant, must of course try his best to cover for them.

The more Chu Xinyue looked at him, the more she felt that Xiao Zhongzi was clever. "I don't have a caring little eunuch around me. How about you give Xiao Zhongzi to me?"

"You wish!" Xue Youli rejected her without hesitation. "I'm telling you, Xiao Zhongzi has the potential to be a chief eunuch. Don't ruin his bright future!"

"I know you can't bear to part with Xiao Zhongzi, I was just joking with you. Ali, fly bravely, I will always be with you, sister. I also hope that you will give me more handsome men in the future!"

Chu Xinyue said, finishing the cold tea beside her in one gulp. "By the way, I came here to tell you something very important. In my book, I wrote that Xue Qingyao and the hero Murong Ye would secretly meet tonight, but Concubine Chun happened to see them, and then Concubine Chun was silenced."

Xue Youli was about to ask for more details when the Book of Heavenly Secrets appeared before her. A line of large characters appeared on the page: [Story Triggered. A major secret related to Concubine Chun has been detected.]

Xue Youli asked: [What secret?]

Book of Heavenly Secrets: [Concubine Chun married Murong Che not because she loved him, but because of her lover Bai Yueguang! ]

Xue Youli: [You're talking about Concubine Chun, who suffers from heart disease and has to gasp for air every time she takes a step. She actually has a lover?]

Tianjishu: [Right! Concubine Chun's heart disease isn't actually that serious; she's feigning illness simply to avoid serving the emperor. She usually stays indoors, yet she insists on coming to Qinghe Garden with Murong Che every year to escape the summer heat. This is because her lover, three years her junior, works there!]

After hearing the secrets of the harem, Xue Youli couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The novel does not mention the story of Concubine Chun and her lover. I think it is because she was killed by the male and female protagonists before she had the chance to meet her lover.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked: [What about Concubine Chun's lover? Was he also silenced?]

Book of Secrets: [No, the place where Concubine Chun and her lover secretly met was only two rockery hills away from the place where the hero and heroine met secretly. After being discovered, Concubine Chun's lover fled on the spot, leaving Concubine Chun to be killed by Murong Ye. He disguised it as a drowning accident and dumped her body in the lotus pond.]

Damn! These two people are really more ruthless than each other!

"Ali? Ali? I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Xue Youli was still communicating with the Book of Heavenly Secrets when suddenly Chu Xinyue's head came closer, and her heroic and beautiful face suddenly magnified several times in front of her.

Xue Youli was startled by her and raised his hand to touch her head, putting some distance between them. "I heard it. Let's stay up all night tonight to witness Murong Ye and Xue Qingyao's secret meeting!"
