Chapter 177 Your Majesty, who are you thinking about?

The deeper the skin-to-skin intimacy between the two of them, the farther they can hear each other's inner voices!

After coming to this conclusion, Murong Che's eyes moved downwards and glanced at Xue Youli's abdomen calmly.

If Xue Youli is pregnant with their child, will the distance at which he can hear her inner voice become even farther?

Thinking of this, Murong Che couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

Hopefully one day they will have children of their own.

If possible, he hopes to have a daughter as playful and cute as Xue Youli.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"

Xue Youli called the man several times in a row. Seeing that Murong Che did not respond, she waved her hand in front of his eyes, "Your Majesty, who are you thinking about in your heart? Are you so obsessed with it?"

Murong Che came back to his senses, looked at Xue Youli's pretty face, smiled and stretched out his hand to pull her to him, "Of course I was thinking about you."

Xue Youli snorted softly, "I am right in front of you, are you sure you are thinking about me?"

Murong Che pinched her cheek amusedly, "Besides you, who else can be in my heart?"

Xue Youli curled her lips, "How would I know? After all, you have so many women in your harem, and you were only promoted to Lady Xue this morning."

Murong Che listened to her sour tone, and the corners of his lips curled up immediately. He deliberately called out her position, "Is Concubine Xue jealous?"

[Jealous? I can’t handle it! You have so many women in your harem, how can I handle them all?]

Xue Youli was very rude to him in her heart, but she knew very well that as the emperor's woman, she could be a little bit temperamental, but she had to be virtuous and know the big picture.

If she answered that she was jealous, it would seem that she was stingy and intolerant.

If she answered that she was not jealous, it would seem that she did not care that much about the emperor.

So, you have to strike a good balance.

She was brewing emotions in her heart, staring at the man with her beautiful almond eyes, with a hint of resentment hidden in her fierce eyes, "You used to call me Ah Li, but now that the new is better than the old, you call me Concubine Xue. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to bring you ginseng soup to nourish your body!"

Don't say it, really don't say it, Murong Che fell for her tricks.

Just listening to her tone that was three parts sour and seven parts coquettish, he wanted to wave his hand and dismiss the entire harem for her.

In his eyes, the three thousand beauties in the harem were not as touching as her smile and frown.

"I know you have been wronged in this matter. I promise you that I will give you an explanation after resolving the recent headaches."

As an emperor, it was not easy for him to lower his posture and coax her.

Xue Youli thought that since she had just cured this man's misogyny, he shouldn't abandon her so quickly.

"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" Xue Youli's round almond-shaped eyes met the man's gaze, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Murong Che nodded and assured her, "Xuepin is so sensible, how could I lie to you? Of course I will treat you with sincerity!"

Xue Youli was easy to coax. After the man said a few words, she smiled sweetly, "I know that the emperor still has me in his heart."

As she spoke, she took out the soup from the lunch box and handed it to Murong Che. She rolled her eyes and said nonsense, "Your Majesty, I know you worked too hard last night, so I added tiger whips, sheep whips, deer whips, ox whips, horse whips and other kinds of whips to the ginseng soup. It's very tonic. Would you like to drink some?"

Murong Che's brows knitted together just by watching and listening to what she added to the ginseng soup.

"Ali, I have only slept with you for one night, and you have already cooked such a nourishing soup for me. Who are you looking down on?"

Xue Youli certainly didn't add any random things to the ginseng soup, she just wanted to anger him, "Oh, Your Majesty, it's not a bad thing to prepare for a rainy day. Don't take advantage of your youth and be unrestrained. You will regret it when you are older. Fortunately, I know a little about medicine and can treat your majesty. I promise that as long as Your Majesty insists on taking the ten-fold tonic soup that I customized for you every day, you will definitely be full of energy in the future!"

【I told you to be gentle last night but you didn't listen. If I don't scare you, who should I scare?】

Murong Che heard her little thoughts clearly, "No need, I have plenty of energy. If I continue to replenish it, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it at night..."

When he said the last half of the sentence, he deliberately leaned close to Xue Youli's ear.

Xue Youli's skin felt the warm breath from his words, and her ears couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

She immediately stood up straight and put some distance between herself and the man.

"Well, I have already sent you my tonic soup. I will not disturb Your Majesty from attending to his government affairs."

"Don't go. Here is a secret letter from your second brother. Come and take a look."

When Murong Che was handling state affairs, he did not treat her as an outsider at all and directly pushed the secret letter sent by Xue Wuyang from Lingzhou in front of Xue Youli.

Xue Youli hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and carefully read Xue Wuyang's secret letter.

The letter said that Xue Wuyang discovered in Lingzhou that the prefect of Lingzhou not only bought and sold official positions and appointed people based on personal connections, but also secretly accepted bribes and extorted money from the people.

Most of the ill-gotten gains he obtained went into Murong Ye's pocket.

Xue Wuyang reported the matter to Murong Che in order to ask him how to deal with Prefect Xue.

After Xue Youli finished reading the contents of the secret letter, she looked up at Murong Che and said, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the prefect Xue of Lingzhou should be the father of Mr. Xue, right?"

[Prefect Xue is Murong Ye's man. Murong Ye had reached a consensus with Prefect Xue before creating a fake identity for Xue Qingyao as the prefect's daughter.]

[Now that Prefect Xue has committed so many crimes, it is a good opportunity to deal with him. As long as Prefect Xue is convicted, Xue Qingyao will be the daughter of a guilty official. Before doing anything, she must carefully consider whether there is anyone who can cover for her and clean up the mess if she fails.]

Murong Che narrowed his peach blossom eyes and snorted coldly, "That's right, I just promoted Lady Xue to a higher position, and her father gave me such a big surprise!"

"Then how does the emperor plan to deal with Prefect Xue?"

"I am going to send an order to Xue Huaiyuan to go to Lingzhou on my behalf to investigate the prefect of Lingzhou!"

Xue Youli knew that since her second brother had written back a secret letter, he must have already collected all the evidence of Magistrate Xue's crimes. Magistrate Xue would probably not be able to escape this time!

Xue Wuyang would not investigate Prefect Xue for no reason. He should have received Murong Che's instructions before leaving Beijing.

Not only did Magistrate Xue abuse his power, he also defected to Murong Ye. He will surely die an humiliating death due to his multiple crimes.

Once he fell, Xue Qingyao no longer had her mother's family to rely on and was forced to take sides.

Either she completely clung to Murong Che's thigh and quietly became his mistress Xue Guiren in the harem.

Either wait for an opportunity to attack Murong Che and cooperate with Murong Ye from inside and outside.

Xue Youli also wanted to see what choice this woman would make.

After receiving the imperial edict from Murong Che, Xue Huaiyuan led the officials to Lingzhou at full speed that day.

Prefect Xue was thrown into prison and the Xue family in Lingzhou was confiscated.

The news soon reached the capital.

Xue Qingyao had just been promoted to the throne and had not been enjoying herself for a few days when she learned that her adoptive father had fallen from power.

She was angry, scared and aggrieved.

After she entered the palace, she had not enjoyed any convenience brought to her by Magistrate Xue. Now that Magistrate Xue was in trouble, if the emperor became angry, she might not be able to escape unscathed.

Biyu was also very anxious and angry, "Master, what should we do now?"

Xue Qingyao was more anxious than her, but she could only try hard to calm herself down.

She looked at Biyu's panic and angrily shouted, "Why are you panicking? Prepare a set of plain clothes for me right now. The plainer the better. I'm going to see the emperor!"
