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

Xue Youli raised her eyebrows in confusion, "Madame Li, may I ask what the Empress Dowager wants to ask me?"

Nanny Li was the maidservant who came with Empress Dowager Yin as a dowry, and had been with her for almost thirty years.

After Chu Xinyue was brought into the palace by Empress Dowager Yin, she was raised by Nanny Li.

Nanny Li had long heard that Chu Xinyue and Xue Youli had a bad relationship, so of course she wouldn't treat Xue Youli well. "Lady Xue will know when she sees the Empress Dowager."

"Then please trouble Madam Li to lead the way." Xue Youli looked at Madam Li's cold expression and didn't bother herself any more.

I originally wanted to save the number of times I used the Book of Heavenly Secrets, but now it seems I can’t save it.

"Madame Li, I'll go with you to take a look too!"

Chu Xinyue heard their conversation and quickly stood up from the table and ran out in two steps.

Erxi chased after her, holding a golden hairpin in his hand, "Princess, there's still one hairpin that hasn't been put on yet!"

"No need, your princess is naturally beautiful, she is still beautiful without a gold hairpin!"

Chu Xinyue was tall and had long legs, so she quickly caught up with the shorter-legged Nanny Li. "Nanny, tell me, why did the Empress Dowager come to see Concubine Xue so early in the morning? Is there something important?"

Nanny Li thought Chu Xinyue wanted to see Xue Youli's excitement, so she whispered to her, "Concubine Ning was injured. I heard it was caused by Concubine Xue."

"What the hell? Concubine Xue caused Concubine Ning to be injured?" Chu Xinyue deliberately repeated her words loudly, then glanced in Xue Youli's direction from the corner of her eye, pretending to be gloating. "Then Concubine Xue is in trouble! Treason is a serious crime!"

"That's right, the Empress Dowager was also angry, so she asked this old servant to come and ask Concubine Xue to come."

In response to Chu Xinyue's rhetoric, Nanny Li immediately told the story of what had happened, adding more details to the story.

"Oh—so that's how it is!"

Chu Xinyue nodded seriously, then looked at Xue Youli provocatively, "Lady Xue, you're going to be in big trouble later!"

Xue Youli humbly curled her lips and said, "The princess is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager. Please take good care of her."

"Hmph! It depends on my mood!" Chu Xinyue was in the mood for acting. She raised her chin proudly and went into the courtyard where the Queen Mother lived with Nanny Li.

"Empress Dowager, Concubine Xue has arrived."

At this time, there were quite a few people sitting in the Queen Mother's room.

In addition to the four concubines, Noble Lady Qiao and Concubine Chi were also there.

They lived nearby, and when they heard that Concubine Ning was injured, they came with her to see the Empress Dowager.

After all, Murong Che was furious about the drowning of a palace guard, and it was the same for him to ask the empress dowager to make the decision on matters between women.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xue Youli stopped in front of the main seat and saluted the empress dowager politely.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

On the way here, she had heard Nanny Li tell Chu Xinyue what had happened. She had a general idea of ​​what was going on and did not look panicked.

Empress Dowager Yin stared at Xue Youli and spoke slowly, "Concubine Ning was bitten by a venomous snake last night. Even though the imperial physician treated her in time, she was half dead. Concubine Xue, do you know anything about this?"

Xue Youli replied calmly, "I didn't know it originally, but now I know."

Concubine Ning sat to the right of the Empress Dowager, her face still very pale. After listening to Xue Youli's reply, she coughed weakly twice, "Ahem! Empress Dowager, the truth of this matter has not yet been ascertained. Since Concubine Xue said she was unaware of it, perhaps there really is a misunderstanding."

Xue Youli had never dealt with Concubine Ning before, but Concubine Ning pointed the finger at her as soon as she made a move. She did not hesitate and directly used the Book of Heavenly Secrets to investigate her. She even found out clearly that the graves of her eighteen generations of ancestors had been urinated on by several wild dogs.

After checking, I found out that Murong Ye had more than just Xue Qingyao planted in the palace.

The same goes for Concubine Ning.

She is Murong Ye's hidden chess piece.

However, before this group of newcomers entered the palace, there were only four concubines in the palace. One was favored by the emperor, one had a daughter, and one was sick all year round. None of them had the desire to compete for favor, so Concubine Ning could not find an opportunity to make a move.

Until the newcomer entered the palace, Concubine Ning also received instructions from Murong Ye, asking her to take action in advance to deal with Xue Youli and help Xue Qingyao take the throne.

After receiving Murong Ye's urgent secret letter, Concubine Ning has been looking for an opportunity to take action.

Last night, she was walking in the yard because she couldn't sleep, and happened to see Lianxin sneaking into Xue Youli's yard to spread powder to attract poisonous snakes.

So, she took advantage of the situation and deliberately sprinkled powder in her yard to create snake bite marks on her arms.

To make her performance more realistic, she applied diluted snake venom to the wound on her arm.

Before the imperial physician arrived, she hid several unopened packets of medicine powder in Xue Youli's yard.

As long as the Queen Mother ordered a search, it would be a foregone conclusion that Xue Youli had murdered her with a poisonous snake.

Seeing that Concubine Ning was poisoned by a snake and still spoke up for Xue Youli, Concubine Qiao couldn't help but feel sorry for her, "Concubine Ning, you are too kind! If Concubine Rong hadn't heard your screams last night and sent for the imperial physician in time, the consequences would be disastrous! If someone really wants to use poisonous snakes to harm people, each of us could be the next victim!"

Lady Chi also echoed, "Sister Qiao is right. Some people rely on the Emperor's favor to act lawlessly, even daring to murder Concubine Ning. Please ask the Empress Dowager to investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent more sisters from getting into trouble!"

Everyone knows which concubine is the most favored by the emperor.

What she said was no different from naming names.

Noble Lady Qiao continued to echo Lady Chi, "Yes, if something like this happens once, it will happen again. We must investigate thoroughly!"

"This princess also feels that the real culprit cannot be let off!"

Chu Xinyue joined in the commotion, as if deliberately adding insult to injury.

Yin Xuan'er learned her lesson this time. She just watched them fight Xue Youli quietly without saying a word.

"Ahem..." Concubine Chun coughed twice and then spoke. "Last night, on the way to the banquet, my old illness suddenly relapsed. If it weren't for Concubine Xue's treatment, I would have died on the spot. Concubine Xue is a kind and beautiful person. How could she do such a despicable thing?"

Concubine Li immediately chimed in, "Sister Chunfei is right. Please, Her Majesty, investigate this thoroughly to prevent some people from arbitrarily accusing others out of jealousy."

At this time, Concubine Rong turned her gaze to Empress Dowager Yin, "Your Majesty, your sisters are right. This concerns Concubine Xue's reputation. Please, Your Majesty, be fair. Even if this is a misunderstanding, at least it will clear Concubine Xue's name!"

The concubines present were divided into two factions, one defended Xue Youli, and the other wanted to convict Xue Youli on the spot.

Queen Mother Yin listened to their chatter and found it noisy. "That's enough. I only believe in evidence. Since you all have your reasons, I will order someone to check Concubine Xue's residence."

"The Queen Mother is wise!"

Concubine Ning was secretly proud, but what she didn't know was -

Just when she was throwing dirty water on Xue Youli, Chu Xinyue had already slipped out under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Others may not know the identity of Concubine Ning, but how could she, as the author of the novel, not know it?

Not only did she know that Concubine Ning was Murong Ye's person, she also knew Concubine Ning's character very well.

In her novel, Concubine Ning used the same trick to help Xue Qingyao eliminate Song Jingsi.

As soon as Concubine Ning opened her mouth, Chu Xinyue thought of a good way to vent her sister's anger.

So, before the Queen Mother's men went to search, she took action in advance, intending to give Concubine Ning a little shock!
