Chapter 165 I only ask the Emperor to give me a child
Xue Youli mingled with a group of young eunuchs and followed Wang Defa's purchasing team out of the palace.
After Murong Che sent her away, he led Xiao Zhongzi and others to Lingyun Palace.
If you want to do a play, you have to do the whole set.
His beloved concubine fell into the lake and caught a cold, so of course he had to go visit her.
As soon as Murong Che entered Shuiyuexuan, Lu Luo ran to Minghua Palace to inform Xue Qingyao.
"Your Majesty couldn't wait to go to Lingyun Palace right after the court session?"
Lu Luo nodded vigorously, "Yes! I saw it clearly! The emperor was walking in a hurry, as if he was very worried about Concubine Xue!"
"Got it. You continue to help me keep an eye on Shuiyuexuan."
Xue Qingyao said this and gave Biyu a look.
Biyu immediately took out a piece of silver and put it into Luluo's hand.
Lu Luo took the silver with a smile on her face, "Thank you, my beauty! I promise to keep a close eye on Shui Yue Xuan!"
"You go down."
After Lu Luo left, Xue Qingyao turned to the maid beside him and said, "Biyu, prepare a bowl of ginseng soup for me. I want to go to Lingyun Palace to visit Concubine Xue."
Xue Youli is ill and definitely cannot serve the emperor. She cannot miss this opportunity.
"yes!"
Xue Qingyao and his servant arrived at the gate of Lingyun Palace and happened to meet Murong Che coming out of Shuiyuexuan.
Xue Qingyao rolled her eyes and walked over quickly, "Your Majesty, your concubine is here to see you!"
Murong Che raised his head and looked at her, his brows slightly tightened, "What are you doing here?"
Xue Qingyao quickly replied, "I entered the palace with Concubine Xue, and we have a deep sisterly bond. I heard that she caught a cold, so I personally made ginseng soup for Concubine Xue..."
"No need."
Murong Che refused on behalf of Xue Youli before she finished her words, "The imperial physician specifically told me that Concubine Xue needs to rest for a few days, so you should not go in and disturb her."
Hearing this, Xue Qingyao's face froze slightly, then she forced a smile, "Your Majesty, I will put down the ginseng soup and leave. I promise not to disturb Concubine Xue's rest."
"I don't want to repeat myself a second time."
Murong Che's eyes flashed with impatience, and he issued an order in front of her, "Xiao Zhongzi, pass on my order. Before your master recovers, Shuiyuexuan will close its doors to visitors, and no one is allowed to disturb her recuperation."
"I obey your order!"
After hearing what the man said, Xue Qingyao clenched her hands holding the food box tightly.
She looked up at Murong Che, her eyes full of sincerity, "Your Majesty, while Concubine Xue is recovering from her illness, you should always have someone who understands your feelings. I hope to be by your side and share your worries. It's lonely in the palace, and I don't expect to be the one in your heart. I only ask that your Majesty give me a child so that I can have something to think about for the rest of my life."
She kept her attitude very humble, and if Murong Che hadn't known that she had an affair with Murong Ye, he would have believed her.
Murong Che originally wanted to reject her, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind, "You go back and wait. I will go to Minghua Palace tonight after I finish handling state affairs."
Since Xue Qingyao wanted to be favored, he fulfilled her wish and thereby alienated her relationship with Murong Ye.
Xue Qingyao was delighted to see Murong Che finally give in. "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will be waiting for your arrival tonight!"
Murong Che responded calmly and said to Wang Defa, "Drive to the Zicheng Palace."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."
Xue Qingyao watched Murong Che's procession go away, with a hint of ambition in his eyes.
She had waited for this day for too long. As long as Murong Che allowed her to sleep with him tonight, she would be able to give birth to the emperor's eldest son in ten months.
She had it all planned out. First, she would use Murong Ye's power to kill Murong Che, get rid of the father and keep the son, and then she would rule the country from behind the curtain.
In this life, she not only has to keep the real power firmly in her own hands, but also has to use the power in the court to weaken Murong Ye bit by bit.
By then, she will be the queen mother in name only, but in reality she will be the queen holding power!
As for Xue Youli, Xue Qingyao planned to spare her life, let her live a life worse than death, and watch him ascend to a high position with his own eyes.
At this moment, Xue Qingyao seemed to see what she would look like as the mother of the world in the future.
She raised her red lips in triumph and instructed Biyu, "You should continue to keep the maidservant in Jinghua Pavilion under your wing and give her some sweet treats. You will be able to use her in the future."
…
At the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion, a low-key and luxurious carriage slowly stopped.
Wang Defa personally escorted Xue Youli off the carriage and said, "Madam Xue, I will take you here."
At this time, Xue Youli had already changed back into her own clothes.
She took a heavy purse from her waist and handed it over, "Thank you for troubling me on the way, Eunuch Wang. Go and do your thing. I can go in by myself."
Wang Defa did not take the purse, but bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what a servant should do."
Given the emperor's obedient attitude towards Concubine Xue, maybe one day Concubine Xue will climb to the position that all the women in the harem want to sit in.
If he pays more attention to Concubine Xue now, his future will naturally be smoother.
Xue Youli generously put the silver into his hand and said, "This is a token of my love. Please accept it, Eunuch Wang."
"Then I thank the Majesty for the reward."
Xue Youli said nothing more. She waved at him and went into Prince Kang's mansion.
She said that she was a good friend of Princess Qinghe. When the guards saw that the carriage that brought her was particularly magnificent, they knew that her identity was not ordinary.
Just as they were about to report, Murong Nan's personal bodyguard Qingfeng recognized Xue Youli at once and quickly invited him in.
"My lady, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to see your princess."
Xue Youli looked at Qingfeng and asked, "How is she?"
Qingfeng replied, "The princess woke up early today and is in good spirits. Erxi just delivered the medicine to her."
"Then I'll go see her."
Xue Youli had been to Prince Kang's Mansion and was familiar with everything here.
She walked through the corridor with ease and headed towards Chu Xinyue and Murong Nan's new home.
She walked to the door and found it was ajar. Just as she was about to push it open, she heard Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue arguing in the room.
"After all this talk, you just don't believe me and only believe your second brother who is so kind! Fine, then go find your second brother and don't bother me in front of me!"
"Ah Yue, I know you are upset, but the case of the missing child has been investigated by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice. It was all caused by Tang Renyi, the culprit! He has committed suicide in prison. Why are you still holding on to your second brother?"
"Why do you want me to hold on to him?"
Chu Xinyue had never met such a stubborn person.
She pushed Murong Nan hard and said, "I don't want to see you now. Get out of my sight right now!"
Murong Nan tried to persuade her in every possible way, but he got very angry when he saw that she still had the same attitude.
But he didn't leave. Instead, he pointed to the medicine bowl on the bedside table and said, "You can ask me to leave, but you drink the medicine first."
"It's none of your business whether I take the medicine or not? I get upset just by seeing you! Get out of here!"
"I won't leave unless you take the medicine."
"I won't drink unless you leave!"
Seeing his reckless look, Chu Xinyue became even angrier. She grabbed the pillow behind her and threw it at him, "Even if I'm injured, it's easy for me to hit you...hiss!"
Her movement was too violent and she pulled the wound, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Ayue!"
Murong Nan felt distressed and hurried forward to check her injuries.
Chu Xinyue had a stubborn temper. The more he wanted to see, the more she refused to let him see.
Murong Nan was afraid that she would hurt herself again, so he simply hugged her and said, "I was wrong, please stop making trouble."
"Who is making trouble with you? Don't touch me, Murong Nan. Since you only have Murong Ye in your heart and eyes, let's just get a divorce and you can go live with your second brother for the rest of your life! I don't want to suffer this anymore... ugh!"
Before she finished speaking, Murong Nan lowered his head and moved closer, swallowing the rest of her words.
