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

Behind another rockery not far from them, Concubine Chun covered her mouth tightly, not daring to even breathe.

She stood there stiffly, unable to move, as if all the strength had been drained from her legs.

Behind the rockery, there was only Concubine Chun.

Her eyes were fixed on the direction where He Shengfeng disappeared into the night, and the tears that had been accumulating in her eyes finally burst out, rolling down in big drops.

He Shengfeng is the lover she has been thinking about all the time.

She risked her life to meet him tonight.

Concubine Chun never thought that she would be caught having a secret meeting with a guard here.

She and He Shengfeng hadn't seen each other for a long time. They were hugging each other so passionately that they forgot themselves and accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

When the cold rebuke of the wise king came from outside the rockery, Concubine Chun was frightened to death!

However, before she could think of a way to escape, He Shengfeng pushed her away and ran away without saying a word.

She was left here alone to face the wise king.

After all, Concubine Chun came out to meet her lover in private, and she was not sure whether Murong Ye heard the intimate sounds between her and He Shengfeng.

At this moment, she was hiding in the shadow of the rockery, her back felt cold, and she didn't dare to make any sound. She just hoped that Murong Ye couldn't find her and thought it was a night cat causing trouble!

Unfortunately, she didn't know the wise king well enough.

A cautious person like Murong Ye would kill the night cat without hesitation even if he encountered a night cat.

When Murong Ye discovered that someone was eavesdropping on his conversation with Xue Qingyao, he did not impulsively run out to catch the person.

He won't act rashly unless he is absolutely sure.

"Xiao Shanzi, what nonsense are you talking about, eunuch? Come back with me quickly!"

Murong Ye made up a name for a young eunuch for Xue Qingyao. After saying this confusing thing, he whispered to Xue Qingyao, "No matter who the other party is, we must deal with it immediately! You go that way, and I will go around this way. We must catch him!"

Murong Ye guessed that the other party must be a weak person, otherwise he would definitely discover his plan. The best strategy would be to escape and save his life as soon as possible!

Xue Qingyao understood and nodded at him. The two of them split up and surrounded the rockery from both sides, where the sound had just been made.

On the wall, Chu Xinyue saw this and immediately gestured to Xue Youli: [Could the idiot who stepped on the dead branch be Concubine Chun?]

Xue Youli rolled her eyes at her. "Isn't this the melodramatic plot you wrote yourself? Eavesdropping will inevitably make noise and get discovered. You'll either kick over a vase or step on a dead branch! How dare you dislike your character?"

Chu Xinyue grinned: [Hehehe, this is indeed my fault! Then I'll be responsible for luring Murong Ye away, and saving the people will be left to you!]

Xue Youli: [Can you do this? Murong Ye is very skilled, don't let him get you into trouble!]

Chu Xinyue: [Children speak without restraint, bah bah bah! My Qinggong is quite good, so you can rest assured!]

After she finished her gesture, she raised her arm and threw the stone in her hand far away.

Pfft!

The stone fell into the water, causing a splashing sound.

Murong Ye and Xue Qingyao stopped in their tracks.

what happened?

Is there anyone in the pavilion by the lake?

Chu Xinyue took advantage of the time when Murong Ye and Xue Qingyao were distracted and got up.

She kicked the wall with her feet and flew out lightly.

"Oh my! I've discovered a great secret! I can't let anyone silence me! Hehehe!"

While Chu Xinyue was slipping away, she did not forget to change her voice into that of an old man to scare Murong Ye and Xue Qingyao.

When she was bored while writing novels, she would find videos and dub classic clips from old dramas. She learned the voices of old people, teenagers, and babies perfectly.

Xue Qingyao's pupils tightened, and she pointed at the shadow's back and said urgently, "Don't let that person escape!"

She was so unlucky that she waited so late to meet Murong Ye, and was actually eavesdropped on!

The key is that there is more than one person eavesdropping!

Before she left the yard, she was extremely cautious and made sure that no one was following her. Why was she still being targeted?

Could it be Xue Youli?

The person who wants to die the most in the entire palace is Xue Youli!

Apart from Xue Youli, no one else would bother with her like this!

Yes! It must be Xue Youli!

Murong Ye pointed to the rockery where Concubine Chun was and motioned Xue Qingyao to go there to check the situation, while he chased in the direction where Chu Xinyue escaped.

In order to avoid any complications, Xue Qingyao picked up a large stone from the ground and walked quickly towards the rockery where Concubine Chun was hiding.

She stopped behind the rockery and saw a dark shadow with its back to her, squatting in the corner and shivering.

He looked terrified.

Xue Qingyao sneered sinisterly, "There's a road to heaven but you don't take it, there's no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Blame it on your bad luck! I hope you'll be reborn into a better person in your next life!"

She didn't even want to find out whether the other person was a man or a woman, or what his name was. She just wanted to kill him to silence him.

When Concubine Chun heard this, she felt that the voice was very familiar.

She was stunned for a moment and turned her head instinctively.

Dark clouds covered the moon, and it was pitch black all around. Xue Qingyao held the stone high in her hand.

Concubine Chun couldn't see the face of the woman in front of her clearly, she only saw a big rock aimed at her head and about to fall!

At this moment, Concubine Chun was still immersed in the sadness of being abandoned by her lover and could not extricate herself.

She had no desire to live and instead felt that death would be a relief.

Facing the stone falling on her head, she did not dodge or show fear, but closed her eyes calmly.

Bang!

Just as she was ready to die, a muffled sound reached her ears.

The stone fell to the ground, not hitting her head, but hitting the ground at her feet.

Immediately afterwards, there was another muffled sound, and something heavy fell down.

Concubine Chun was confused, thinking that if she was not afraid of death, why would she be afraid of seeing the other person's face?

She gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and finally opened her eyes.

Xue Youli was seen carrying a wooden stick and standing not far from her.

At Xue Youli's feet lay an unconscious woman. It was obvious that the woman on the ground was the one who had tried to kill her with a stone.

After Xue Youli knocked Xue Qingyao unconscious, he kicked the person on the ground a few times and said with a pout, "It's great to be young. You can fall asleep right away!"

Concubine Chun looked at Xue Youli with a hint of confusion in her eyes, "Lady Xue, why are you here?"

"I couldn't sleep so I went out for a walk. I heard some noise over here and came to check it out. I didn't expect someone was trying to murder you. Luckily I got here just in time!"

Xue Youli dropped the stick in his hand and reached out to pull Concubine Chun up from the ground. "Empress Chun, are you okay?"

Concubine Chun thought that her life was going to end here. Now that she had survived the disaster, she felt her legs were weak and she could hardly stand.

Fortunately, Xue Youli was quick to act and helped her steady herself.

Concubine Chun leaned against the rockery, and after a long while, her face gradually regained its color. "Noble Lady Xue, thanks to you just now, today I owe you my life. If you encounter difficulties in the future, just speak up, and I will definitely repay you for this favor!"

As she spoke, she lowered her head and tried to use her foot to push Xue Qingyao away, "I want to see who is so bold as to want to kill me!"

However, before she could see Xue Qingyao's face, Xue Youli moved sideways to block her view. "Empress Chun, listen to my advice. The fewer secrets you know, the longer you will live!"

Concubine Chun understood everything immediately and nodded at her, "I haven't been out tonight, nor have I seen anyone."

Xue Youli replied, "Not just tonight, but every night in the palace, try not to go out late at night, and don't see anyone. And tonight, just like Concubine Chun, I slept in my own courtyard."

There was something behind her words. Concubine Chun's eyes were shocked. She guessed that Xue Youli must have seen her having a secret meeting with He Shengfeng.

Since Xue Youli had already expressed her feelings, Concubine Chun did not say anything more, but said sincerely, "Thank you for tonight."

After thanking her, she wanted to leave, but before she could take a step, Xue Youli grabbed her arm and said, "Empress Chun, please leave the things in your hand. I will take care of them for you."

Concubine Chun lowered her head and realized belatedly that she was holding He Shengfeng's badge tightly in her hand.

She was so scared just now that she pulled it off He Shengfeng's waist in a panic.

Concubine Chun looked at Xue Youli, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly, "What do you want to do with this waist badge?"

Xue Youli threw the badge to the ground in front of her, then tilted her head and smiled sweetly at her, "Isn't that taken care of? Empress Chun, let's go!"
