Chapter 131 What? Are you attracted to the Emperor?
Xue Qingyao became more and more worried the more he thought about it. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head and he came up with a good idea. "Biyu, come with me to the stable."
Biyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her in confusion, "Master, didn't you say you didn't want to ride a horse today?"
Xue Qingyao made up an excuse, "I think the weather is good today, so I want to take the horse for a walk around the area."
When she arrived at the stable, she found that Xue Youli's horse was not there.
She raised her eyebrows in a puzzled manner, "Huh? Wasn't Concubine Xue staying in the camp today? Why is her horse missing?"
The guard in charge of the stable immediately replied, "Madam Xue's horse has been borrowed by His Royal Highness Prince Kang."
Xue Qingyao was alert and asked after a moment's hesitation, "What did King Kang borrow her horse for?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Kang's horse had its legs scratched by a branch yesterday, so he borrowed Concubine Xue's horse to go to the hunting ground."
"so it is."
When Xue Qingyao heard this answer, a sinister sneer flashed in his eyes.
Isn’t Xue Youli on good terms with Chu Xinyue?
If Murong Nan was thrown off Xue Youli's horse and became disabled, or even died, I wonder if Chu Xinyue would be angry with Xue Youli because of the horse?
However, it doesn’t matter if they have a deep sisterly bond, because she has another trick up her sleeve!
But before that, she had to clean out the remaining hay in the trough to avoid the hay being found to be poisonous.
So she winked at Biyu, who immediately walked over to the guard next to her and pointed to the stable on the other side, diverting his attention. "Oh my! Is there a snake coiled in that stable?"
"Where is it?" The guard immediately turned around and walked to the stable she mentioned. He looked inside and out and said, "No, I don't see any snakes."
Biyu raised her hand and patted her forehead. "Oh! What was that about me? I mistook horse shit for a snake! I'm so sorry!"
The guard was good-tempered. "It's okay, as long as it's not a real snake!"
There are many poisonous snakes in the mountains. Although the weather has turned cooler since autumn, there are still one or two snakes that are not afraid of the cold.
It's always better to be careful.
While the two of them were chatting, Xue Qingyao had already cleaned the trough.
This time when she came to Longshou Mountain, her only goal was to kill Xue Youli.
Since Xue Youli escaped the disaster of poisoning the horse, she can only take the second step.
When leaving the stable, Xue Qingyao led out his horse and asked Biyu as he walked, "Where did you say Concubine Xue went?"
"My lord, Concubine Xue has gone to the palace to meet her family."
family?
Hearing this word, a deep hatred was reflected in Xue Qingyao's eyes.
Not only did Xue Youli kill her mother, but he also turned her from a daughter of the Xue family into a bastard with an unknown father.
She has suffered a lot and endured a lot of fatigue along the way, and all of this was given by Xue Youli!
What ability does Xue Youli have that could deceive Murong Che to this extent?
Not only did he favor her alone, he also allowed her to receive family members in the palace.
Xue Qingyao was jealous to the point of madness.
no!
We can’t let Xue Youli be so happy!
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down, "Biyu, go back first, I want to walk by myself."
Biyu was a little worried. "Master, I heard that Prince Kang and Princess Qinghe encountered an assassin in the hunting ground yesterday. It would be very dangerous if you go out alone!"
"I'll just be hanging around the campground. I won't go far."
After Xue Qingyao sent Biyu away, she quietly wrapped the cage of pigeons given to her by Murong Ye in cloth and placed it on the horse's back.
Then, under the pretext of going for a stroll, she led her horse to the stream opposite the hunting ground and quietly released a carrier pigeon.
She watched the carrier pigeon fly into the woods, walked along the stream for a while, and released the second carrier pigeon.
Then, after walking a little further, she released the third carrier pigeon.
She mounted her horse and rode a long way, finally releasing the last carrier pigeon before returning to camp.
The mountain was covered with lush vegetation, and she was worried that the pigeons would get lost, so to be on the safe side, she released a total of four carrier pigeons.
However, what Xue Qingyao didn't know was that not long after the first three pigeons flew into the forest, they were hit down with stones by Chi Yan who was sleeping between the tree trunks.
After he took the secret letter tied to the pigeon's leg, he took out the dagger he carried with him and cut open the pigeon's belly. "It's a little small, but fortunately I killed three of them, so I can barely finish them off."
In fact, it was Xue Youli who borrowed the Red Flame from Murong Che last night, so Murong Che placed the Red Flame here specifically to intercept Xue Qingyao's secret letter.
After Chi Yan ate the three pigeons, he went back to Murong Che with the secret letter to report.
At the same time, Xue Youli had just dressed up in the palace when Xiao Zhongzi came over with a few people, "Master, the lady is here."
Xue Youli raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and called out to the person who came over, "Mom..."
However, before she could finish her words, the smile on her face froze when she saw the woman following Jiang Ruyun and a girl who was about her age.
Jiang Ruyun glanced behind her from the corner of her eyes, indicating that there were outsiders, and then bowed and said, "Your Highness greets Concubine Xue."
The two people behind her also hurriedly saluted, "Good luck to Concubine Xue."
Xue Youli glanced behind Jiang Ruyun and raised her eyebrows, "Are these my aunt and cousin?"
[Name: Jiang Rushui, 37 years old, Jiang Ruyun's younger sister, her husband is a doctor with little real power.]
[Name: Ye Shixue, 16 years old, daughter of Jiang Rushui, with high aspirations.]
Jiang Rushui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Li'er, no, it's Concubine Xue who still remembers us. We are so honored!"
Xue Youli ignored her flattery and said, "I made an appointment with my mother to meet here. I wonder why my aunt and cousin came here?"
Jiang Rushui coughed lightly and glanced at Banxia and Xiao Zhongzi behind Xue Youli, "Auntie also has some intimate things to talk to you about."
She said this, but she felt sour in her heart.
I didn't expect that Xue Youli didn't look that good when she was a child, but now she looks like a fox spirit. No wonder she could charm the emperor so much.
Xue Youli heard her hidden meaning and turned around to order, "Banxia, prepare the tea. Xiao Zhongzi, wait outside."
"yes!"
After they left, Xue Youli looked at Jiang Rushui again, "Aunt, can I tell you now?"
Jiang Rushui's eyes rolled around, and she pulled her daughter Ye Shixue in front of her with a smile, "Li'er, there are no outsiders here, so just say what you want to say! Your cousin is also of marriageable age, but she has not found someone to entrust her life to."
Xue Youli snorted lightly, "Why? The capital is so big, but there is not a single young talent that can catch my cousin's eye?"
She had just checked with the Book of Heaven's Secrets, and found that Ye Shixue had dated more than ten men of equal status, but she didn't like any of them.
As soon as Ye Shixue entered the room, she stared closely at the gold-studded jewel headdress on Xue Youli's head.
The main body of the headpiece is made of pure gold, and each gemstone is embedded in it with great precision.
When Xue Youli walked, the gemstone reflected a dazzling light. Coupled with her stunning appearance, Ye Shixue couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself.
At this moment, she met Xue Youli's eyes and felt that her thoughts were seen through.
However, she still plucked up the courage to speak, "Cousin, when we were hunting yesterday, I saw that the emperor was very majestic. He really stood out among the crowd."
Xue Youli laughed immediately, "Why, are you attracted to the emperor?"
