Chapter 119 Regaining the Holy Favor?

Murong Che was of course cooperating with her in acting. "Yes, in order to welcome the Nanzhao envoys, I plan to postpone the autumn hunt until the envoys arrive in Beijing. What do you think?"

Xue Youli naturally couldn't interfere with his decision. "Your Majesty is wise. The Longshou Mountain Palace outside the capital can be used as a place to entertain envoys during the autumn hunt."

"That's exactly what I meant. I have selected six concubines to accompany you this time: Rong Fei, Li Fei, Yin Zhaoyi, Song Zhaoyi, Chi Cainu, and you."

Xue Youli didn't expect that Murong Che included Chi Cainü in the entourage list, but left out Xue Qingyao.

She checked the Book of Heaven's Secrets and found out that Chi Cainu's father had made great contributions recently and had specially asked Murong Che for grace to let him see his daughter.

Previously, the concubine who went to the palace to escape the summer heat was demoted by Murong Che because she stood on the wrong side and added insult to injury to Xue Youli.

Qiao Wan, who was demoted along with her, was used by Xue Qingyao and ended up in a huge prison in the Criminal Department.

Father Chi was worried about his daughter, so he wanted to take advantage of the autumn hunt to see her and enlighten her in person.

After hearing the list, Xue Youli couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, are you not going to take Lady Xue hunting?"

Murong Che replied, "I heard that she is not good at riding and shooting, so it is useless to take her with you."

Xue Qingyao's mother taught her to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting in the hope that she would be able to hook up with rich men with these skills. As for riding and archery, she naturally had no conditions to teach her.

Noble daughters like Yin Xuan'er and Song Jingsi are both knowledgeable in riding and swordsmanship. Even if they are not proficient in them, they are still capable of performing well.

Xue Youli knew that Xue Qingyao had been quiet recently, not because he wanted to mend his ways, but because he was planning something big.

After she was released from the Prison, she had no one around her who could be used, so she was waiting for an opportunity to meet Murong Ye and act pitiful in front of him.

Now her wishful thinking will fail.

Therefore, Xue Youli immediately agreed with Murong Che's decision, "Your Majesty is right. I will follow your instructions."

[I wonder how Xue Qingyao would feel if she found out that she was not on the hunting list this time? She would definitely try to ask Murong Che to let her go, but I wonder if Murong Che would agree.]

[However, I always feel that hunting would be less fun without her. ]

The news that the army stationed in the southern border was returning to the court quickly spread throughout the harem.

This time, the emperor postponed the autumn hunting in order to entertain the envoys from Nanzhao who came to Beijing for peace talks.

When the list of accompanying concubines was circulated, some were happy while others were sad.

After Concubine Chun returned from the summer palace, she was depressed all day long and her health became worse day by day.

During this period, she stayed at home, and even the Queen Mother Yin exempted her from paying respects on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, allowing her to rest and recuperate.

Therefore, no one found it strange that her name was not on the accompanying list.

Minghua Palace.

Xue Qingyao found out that she was not on the list of people accompanying the emperor. She could not even take a drink of tea. She was so angry that she smashed the teacup beside her. "What does the emperor mean? Even Chi Hanyi is on the list, why can't I go?"

Chi Hanyi was Chi Cainü's maiden's name. Her status was two levels lower than Xue Qingyao's, so Xue Qingyao was naturally dissatisfied.

After Bi Tao died, Xue Qingyao got a new palace maid.

At this time, Biyu looked at Xue Qingyao's angry face and stepped forward to comfort him, "Master, you must take care of yourself. There are still many days to come. One day you will be able to regain the emperor's favor."

Regaining divine favor?

Oh!

She has never been favored!

Xue Qingyao felt that this was extremely ironic, and she raised her red lips in self-mockery, "It's useless, the emperor only likes that vixen Xue Youli! He doesn't even have me in his eyes!"

"Master, don't be discouraged. Your father is the prefect of Lingzhou. He governs Lingzhou in an orderly manner. The emperor is thinking of your father's contributions and will not forget you."

Hearing Biyu's reminder, Xue Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly.

Yes, since entering the palace, she has not contacted the Lingzhou prefect again, and almost forgot that she still has a cheap father.

"Biyu, bring me some pen and ink. I want to write a letter home!"

…

At the same time, in the Shuiyuexuan of Lingyun Palace.

Xue Youli just received a letter sent from Lingzhou.

The letter was sent back by her second brother.

Xue Wuyang was cleared of suspicion of cheating in the palace examination and kept in touch with her after leaving the capital.

After reading the letter, Xue Youli turned to Banxia, ​​who was wiping the vase in the room, and said, "Banxia, ​​come and help me grind the ink."

She checked the Book of Heaven's Secrets about Prefect Xue and found out that Prefect Xue had a big secret. She planned to tell this to Xue Wuyang and use him to overthrow Xue Qingyao's backer!

At night, Xue Youli finished hypnotizing Murong Che and woke the man from his deep sleep, "Your Majesty, how do you feel now?"

Murong Che shook his head, "Nothing special."

Xue Youli found that his mental illness was indeed very difficult to treat. After such a long period of treatment, he still could not make a breakthrough. "Your Majesty, hypnosis is only an auxiliary treatment method. Since it has not been effective for such a long time, we have to suspend it for a while."

[If I can't cure Murong Che, I think I won't have a chance to become the empress dowager. What a sin! ]

In fact, before Xue Youli appeared, Murong Che had already prepared himself to never touch a woman for the rest of his life.

However, after Xue Youli appeared, hope ignited in his heart.

Now that his hopes were about to be dashed again, he couldn't help but feel unspeakable frustration and loss in his heart.

He was silent for a long time before he asked in a low voice, "What if suspending hypnosis doesn't work? Will my illness never be cured?"

Xue Youli looked at the gloomy expression on Murong Chejun's face, hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "Your Majesty, perhaps you can try to get in touch with other women. Just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't do it either."

It’s not that Xue Youli is magnanimous. If Murong Che can’t even touch a woman, how can he overcome the psychological barriers and have a baby with her?

After these words were spoken, silence fell between the two.

At this moment, Wang Defa's voice suddenly rang out from outside the palace, "Your Majesty, the maids from Minghua Palace came to report that Concubine Xue had suddenly fainted. Please come over."

He doesn't know how to treat illnesses, and he didn't go to find the imperial physician first when she fainted. Was he afraid that the imperial physician would not arrive in time and Concubine Xue's illness would be cured without medicine?

Murong Che frowned and wanted to refuse outright, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought of something and immediately changed his words, "I know."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xue Youli.

Before he could think of a way to speak, Xue Youli spoke caringly, "Your Majesty, since Lady Xue is ill, you should go and see her as soon as possible."

[Xue Qingyao is probably faking illness, but it doesn't matter. The treatment here has just reached a bottleneck. Murong Che was not allergic to her before. We can take this opportunity tonight to go to Minghua Palace and use her as a test subject to see if we can find a breakthrough from her.]

[If Xue Qingyao's stimulation can stimulate Murong Che's male instinct, it will also be considered as solving a difficult medical problem for me.]

Xue Youli waited for a moment, and seeing Murong Che sitting on the recliner without moving, he quickly went over and whispered to him, "Your Majesty, it might help your condition if you go see Lady Xue. Of course, you have to grasp the right degree. If you lose control, it might even make your condition worse."

[Murong Che, I have already said this much, you can hear the hidden meaning behind this, right? ]

[I am not a good person. I will not push you to another woman just to cure your illness. I let you contact Xue Qingyao because she is the heroine. If you contact her, you might be favored by the heroine's halo.]

[But! You have to remember this! You are my man now, I can barely tolerate you hugging other women! If you dare to give up your virginity, I will really beat you! Remember this clearly? ]

Murong Che listened to her gritting her teeth in her heart and felt inexplicably pleased.

He stood up and walked to her side, holding her chin with his big hand, and said in a low and gentle voice as if to coax her, "Okay, I'll be back soon."

[You are quite sensible, kid! It is worth my efforts for your illness in the past few months. I feel relieved to see that the doctor-patient relationship between us is so strong.]

Xue Youli was very proud in her heart, but she still maintained a gentle and considerate expression, "Your Majesty, please do not worry about me. Concubine Xue's health is the most important thing. If she is really ill, you must ask the imperial physician to diagnose and treat her carefully. She should take medicine when necessary and acupuncture when necessary. Do not delay the treatment."

A meaningful glint flashed across Murong Che's beautiful peach blossom eyes. "You understand medicine. I will listen to you."
