Chapter 16 Does He Have a Hand Fetish?

Xue Qingyao pretended not to understand what she meant, and said in an innocent tone, "Yes, although Sister Xue's position is not high, the emperor likes her. She is the first one to sleep with the emperor among so many sisters who entered the palace this time. She is really enviable."

"Sister, why do you envy her? You are the most talented woman in Lingzhou. You are more talented than her. You are also more beautiful than her..." Shen Ruolan thought of Xue Youli's bright and beautiful face. For a moment, she couldn't say that Xue Qingyao was prettier than her. "In short, Xue Youli is just a foxy woman! What is there about her that makes the emperor look at her differently?"

Xue Qingyao said bitterly, "Sister Xue is beautiful, maybe the emperor likes her face."

Her words reminded Shen Ruolan.

Yes, if Xue Youli lost that seductive face, would the emperor still like her?

…

Thanks to Murong Che, Xue Youli undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.

She knew clearly that in the harem you can pretend to be a wimp, but you can't really be one.

In order to improve her palace fighting skills, she asked Banxia to accompany her to the royal library to borrow a lot of medical books and study them carefully.

She was a doctor of medicine in her previous life, and during the ten years or so she lived with her grandfather, she also learned a lot of knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine from him.

Therefore, reading medical books is not difficult.

She is always serious about everything she does and can spend an entire afternoon reading a medical book.

In the evening, when the meal was about to be served, Murong Che arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the palace servants brought the steaming dishes into Shuiyuexuan.

Phoenix-tail shark's fin, pearl abalone, red sandalwood roasted venison leg, goose in bird's nest with honey sauce, sweet-scented yam, jade bamboo shoots...

There were some dishes that Xue Youli couldn't even name.

The dishes are beautifully presented and full of aroma.

Xue Youli looked at the table full of delicious food and looked at the man in confusion, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"You have worked hard in serving me. The dishes in the kitchen tonight are quite good, so I thought of coming over to have dinner with you. Do you think they are to your taste?"

Murong Che said this and reached out to pull her to sit down.

Xue Youli couldn't help swallowing just by smelling the fragrance of the dishes on the table.

[This meal is so much better than what I usually eat. Being an emperor must be so good. When I become the empress dowager, I will also eat delicacies from land and sea every day.]

This woman is so brave that she always has the position of Queen Mother in mind!

Murong Che put away the displeasure in his eyes and calmly gave her a piece of venison, "Try this."

Xue Youli raised her right hand that was held by the man, her almond eyes full of shyness, "Your Majesty, you have been holding me, I can't hold the chopsticks."

[Does Murong Che have a hand fetish? Why does he keep pulling my hand? ]

Murong Che listened to her complaints, gritted his teeth, and let go of her hand, "I just couldn't help myself at the moment."

In order to eavesdrop on her thoughts, he had to find ways to touch her. Now, this woman actually thought he had a strange fetish.

I don't know if there is any other way to hear her inner voice besides touching her.

Xue Youli blinked her eyes and said, "It is a blessing that I have cultivated for several lifetimes to be favored by the emperor."

"Isn't it a blessing for me to have such a considerate and thoughtful person like you?"

At the dinner table, the two of them were acting against each other, which made Wang Defa, who was watching beside them, very excited.

In the past, the Emperor also doted on Concubine Li, but in front of outsiders, he treated Concubine Li with restraint and courtesy, and he had never done anything like holding her hand to pick up food from her.

It can be seen that the emperor only cared about the ladies in the harem before, but not their hearts.

Now looking at this sweet scene in front of him, Wang Defa couldn't help but feel deeply moved. Concubine Xue was really capable. She could even make the emperor's iron tree bloom.

After more than half an hour, the two of them finished bathing, changed into pajamas, and entered the bedroom.

After going through the whole process and lying on the bed, Xue Youli found that Murong Che's hand had held hers again without her knowing.

However, when she glanced sideways at the man's angular and handsome face, all her temper disappeared.

[Forget it, forget it. Before I showed up, Murong Che was allergic to women. Now he finally gets to have close contact with me. What's the difference between this and a dog that has been hungry for 21 years suddenly finding a bone? Just let him lead the way. It's rare to find such a pure emperor! ]

Murong picked up the bone and said, "..." For a moment he didn't know whether he should be angry with this woman who even scolded him.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "I heard that you went to the library today and borrowed a few medical books. I didn't know that you were proficient in medicine?"

In fact, he decided to come to her place tonight because the palace maid reported to him after he left the court that she had borrowed a medical book from the library.

I had learned from her inner voice before that she wanted to extend his life and let him live a few more years.

Therefore, Murong Che couldn't help but think that since this woman had the ability to predict the future and was also proficient in medicine, perhaps the key to breaking his fate of not living past the age of 25 lies in her.

Xue Youli's heart tensed up when she met the man's inquiring gaze.

[The emperor is indeed the most powerful person in the world. He has spies everywhere in the palace. I borrowed the medical book in the morning, and he received the news in the evening. It seems that I must be very careful when playing tricks on him in the future. ]

Her mind raced, and she immediately found an excuse for herself, "I can't say I'm proficient, but I'm very interested in medicine, and I have nothing to do, so I'm looking for something to do to pass the time."

Murong Che curled his lips slightly, "It's not a bad thing to read more books. When you have learned enough, I won't have to bother the Imperial Hospital if I have a headache or a cold."

Murong Che's words reminded Xue Youli.

In the original novel, Murong Che first became ill due to overwork and was bedridden before being killed step by step by Xue Qingyao.

Since we're talking about this topic, I might as well take his pulse and find out his current physical condition.

Thinking of this, Xue Youli raised her pretty face, her beautiful almond eyes sparkling, "Your Majesty, today I have learned how to diagnose a pulse, why don't I give it a try on you?"

"good."

Murong Che did not hesitate and raised his left hand in front of her.

Xue Youli placed her fingers lightly on the man's pulse and examined it carefully for a moment.

Seeing her diagnose so carefully, Murong Che couldn't help but ask softly, "How is it?"

Xue Youli was about to take her hand back, but the man took the lead and held her hand again.

Feeling the man's strong grip on her hand, Xue Youli thought he was nervous and soothed him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. There is nothing wrong with your body. You just have a little deficiency of Qi and blood. As long as you pay attention to conditioning and have a good rest, there will be no problem."

When they were having a meal together just now, she noticed that the man only took one or two bites of each dish and soon put down his chopsticks.

His face was pale, obviously due to long-term fatigue and great psychological pressure, which led to loss of appetite.

However, as a young emperor, Murong Che not only had to stabilize the court, but also had to worry about the secret of his allergy to women being discovered by the concubines in the harem.

At such a young age, he has to bear so many things alone. As time goes by, even if he was healthy, he would develop some problems.

When Murong Che heard her diagnosis, he visibly relaxed his grip on her hand.

Xue Youli looked at her hand wrapped in his big hand, then looked at the young and handsome face of the man beside her, and suddenly she had a bold idea.

[In fact, if you think of Murong Che as a cute little puppy, it's not bad. The two of them holding hands can just make up for her regret of never having been in love. If she can make this little puppy happy, she can also get a valuable reward. No matter how you think about it, she is the winner! ]

Murong Che, "..."

Why did this woman compare him to a dog again?

Still a puppy that hasn't been weaned!

When he got back, he would write it down in a booklet and settle the accounts with her later.
