Chapter 171 It's Not Unfair to Be Defeated by Her

On the way back, Murong Che got on the carriage and looked at Xue Youli curiously, "That A Yan doesn't look like a quiet girl. Why did you bring her into the palace?"

In his opinion, if he kept such a person with evil intentions around, he might be stabbed in the back at any time, or even stabbed to death.

It's too dangerous!

Xue Youli blinked at the man and said, "Instead of letting her be restless somewhere else, it is better to keep her under my watch. No matter what little tricks she makes, she will be under my control."

Since she dared to take A'yan away from the government office, she must have made all the necessary preparations.

When Ah Yan had murdered Liu Si Niang in a brothel before, she had sensed that there was something wrong with this girl.

Later, he went back and used the Book of Heaven's Secrets to investigate A'Yan, and sure enough, she was Murong Ye's person.

Didn’t Murong Ye want to kill her?

She simply took advantage of the situation and gave Murong Ye this opportunity.

Let A Yan be her mouthpiece and pass on the news she wants Murong Ye to know through A Yan.

When Murong Che learned of her thoughts, he admired her from the bottom of his heart.

Her intelligence and wisdom far surpassed those of other people in the harem, and it was not unfair that Xue Qingyao was defeated by her time and time again.

Thinking of Xue Qingyao, Murong Che pondered for a moment and decided to inform her in advance about what happened during the three days that Xue Youli was away from the palace.

"I intend to promote Xue Qingyao to a higher position, and I wanted to ask for your opinion in advance."

Xue Youli didn't know what tricks Xue Qingyao had used, but Murong Che was not a person who was tempted by beauty. He must have his own intentions for doing this. "The emperor wants to promote Sister Xue to the throne, so I am naturally happy for Sister Xue."

[It's not a big deal to be happy for her! But when Murong Ye was preparing to make the next move, Murong Che suddenly promoted Xue Qingyao. Could it be that he wanted to alienate them and create a trust crisis between them? ]

Murong Che nodded slightly, "Yes, I thought about it and I think it is a wise move for you to bring A Yan back to the palace. We can use A Yan to inform Murong Ye and let him mistakenly believe that Xue Qingyao has abandoned him and chosen me."

Xue Youli couldn't help but mutter in her heart as she listened to the man's nonsensical words.

【What's good? Did I say anything? 】

[Also, how did Murong Che know that A Yan was Murong Ye's person? Did he find that A Yan was not acting right when he closed down the pleasure house, and went to investigate her on purpose?]

She thought about it and felt that this was the only possibility.

"Your Majesty is wise. If we can successfully alienate Xue Qingyao and Murong Ye, we can also take this opportunity to eliminate all of Murong Ye's spies in the harem."

Murong Che listened to her plan and looked at her with more admiration.

Thinking that he would have to go to Minghua Palace tonight, he reached out and held Xue Youli's hand, "Ali, I want to stay in Minghua Palace tonight."

Xue Youli was stunned for a moment when she heard him reporting his whereabouts to her, then nodded, "I know, and I will also let A Yan know the whereabouts of the emperor."

Murong Che saw that there was no trace of displeasure on Xue Youli's face, as if she didn't care at all where he slept at night or whose name he turned over, and he inexplicably felt a little unhappy in his heart.

He didn't say anything else, just stared at Xue Youli, with some resentment and some loss in his eyes.

Xue Youli noticed Murong Che's gaze and touched her face in confusion, "Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Murong Che met her clear almond eyes and nodded deliberately, "Yeah."

"Where is it?" Xue Youli quickly reached out and wiped both sides of her cheeks, then leaned her face towards him, "Can you help me see if it's still there?"

Murong Che raised his hand, gently touched the corner of her lips with his fingertips, and wiped them for her slowly and steadily.

Xue Youli waited for a long time, and seeing that the man's fingers still did not stop, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

[What kind of dirt is on my face? Why hasn't he wiped it clean after so long? ]

She waited for a long time and could not help but say, "Your Majesty, if it is really hard to clean it, I will go back to the palace and wash myself thoroughly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Che finally took his hand back, "Okay, it's been wiped clean."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the man had a frown on his handsome face and looked unhappy, Xue Youli closed her mouth and said nothing more.

A man's heart is as unpredictable as the sea.

We don't know why Murong Che suddenly got so angry.

Could it be that there was something dirty on her face just now that embarrassed him?

Forget it, I won’t guess anymore. I don’t think he, a grown man, would be so stingy.

She had been chatting with Chu Xinyue until late at night every night for the past three days, and she didn't get enough sleep every day. Now her eyelids were getting heavier due to the shaking of the carriage.

Xue Youli yawned, leaned against the wall of the carriage and fell asleep.

When Murong Che poured himself a drink of water, he looked up and found that Xue Youli had closed her eyes and fallen asleep.

He listened to Xue Youli's peaceful sleeping face and shook his head in self-mockery.

She doesn't know anything, why should I be angry with her?

She was still young, and always regarded herself as a doctor, treating him as a patient.

Of course I wouldn't think in any other direction.

However, feelings are something that can be cultivated slowly.

Doesn’t Xue Youli like good-looking men?

Murong Che still has confidence in his face.

In the future, in addition to being a patient, he will also use various extraordinary means to remind her that he is a man.

The carriage jolted from time to time as it moved.

Murong Che looked at Xue Youli's head moving up and down, often hitting the wall of the car, and suddenly felt distressed.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook again, and he saw that Xue Youli's head was about to hit the wall of the carriage again.

The next moment, his actions were faster than he realized. By the time he reacted, he had already stood up from his seat and put his big hand gently between Xue Youli's forehead and the car wall.

Xue Youli's forehead hit his warm big hand, then she smacked her lips twice and went back to sleep.

Seeing that she was sleeping so soundly, Murong Che simply went around to her side, sat down beside her, then held her in his arms and let her head rest on his chest.

Xue Youli buried her head in his arms, found a comfortable position, and continued to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage slowly stopped.

Wang Defa's respectful voice came from outside the carriage, "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the palace gate."

When Murong Che heard his voice, he frowned and looked down at the person in his arms.

Xue Youli's long eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Why does Wang Defa have such a loud voice?

Deduct his monthly salary next month!

Murong Che thought so in his heart. When he met Xue Youli's dazed eyes, his tone immediately softened, "Are you awake?"

Xue Youli was still a little confused. She rubbed her eyes and asked the man, "Your Majesty, where are we?"

Murong Che was touched by her cute look as she just woke up, "Let's go back to the palace."

"good."

Xue Youli quickly woke up. After sitting up from the man's arms, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, the missing case has been concluded. In addition to Tang Renyi who died in prison, are there other officials involved? Are the children who were sent back safe?"

There are also officials from the Charity Bureau who are in collusion with Tang Renyi. Xue Youli appears to care about the children, but in fact she is also reminding him not to let go of anyone who hurts the children.

Murong Che rubbed the top of her head with his big hand, "I didn't let any of those people go, and the pleasure house was burned to ruins by the fire that night. From now on, no more children will go missing for no reason."

The only pity is that Murong Ye destroyed the evidence related to him in advance and escaped unscathed from this missing case.

"Then I will feel relieved."

Xue Youli got off the carriage and bowed to Murong Che, "Your Majesty, please go find Sister Xue. I will take A Yan back to Lingyun Palace first."

Just as she was about to leave, the Book of Secrets suddenly appeared, and a line of bold words appeared on the page: [The plot is triggered. It is detected that Xue Qingyao is preparing to use a shady trick tonight and give Murong Che that kind of medicine! ]
