Chapter 199: Conferred the title of Concubine!

In the alley in front of the North Palace, Chu Xinyue put away the bow and arrow in her hand, staring at the fleeing figures of Murong Ye and Si Sha, and said with a look of regret, "Oh no! The arrow just shot missed the target. I don't know if Murong Ye will die or not?"

"Even if he's not dead, his luck has run out."

Murong Nan felt heavy-hearted and followed her gaze into the distance.

Murong Ye's horse had already run away, but he seemed to see his childhood self through the passage between the palace walls.

Second brother, we will part today. If we have the chance to meet again in the future, we will have to fight each other.

He didn't know whether Chu Xinyue's arrow would take Murong Ye's life. Whether Murong Ye was alive or dead, the brotherhood between them was completely severed from today.

…

Murong Ye's farce of forcing the emperor to abdicate and rebelling lasted only two hours before it was put down.

Murong Ye had no idea that Murong Che had actually guessed that he had the intention of rebellion and had been secretly sending people to monitor every move of Prince Xian's Palace.

He thought his flawless plan was under Murong Che's control.

In the capital, Duke Shen is the Queen Mother's younger brother, and Duke Shen's daughter is Murong Che's newly appointed Consort this year. With these two levels of relationships, he will definitely support Murong Che unconditionally.

More than half a month ago, he received a secret order from Murong Che, asking him to find a way to suppress the Xianwang Party.

In order to prevent the soldiers of the East Camp from being plotted against by Murong Ye, Murong Che secretly summoned the Dragon Shadow Guards to be ready to support, protect and transfer the people in the harem at any time.

Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario.

But now that Murong Ye had been defeated and was fleeing north with injuries, he didn't want to let the tiger return to the mountains.

Therefore, as soon as the rebellion was suppressed, Murong Che issued an imperial decree on the spot to abolish Murong Ye's title of prince.

【The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun, proclaims: I have ruled the world with benevolence and treated my relatives and brothers well, but Murong Ye harbored evil intentions and colluded with Jiang Yuanshan to rebel, committing treason and attempting to abuse power to disrupt government and bring disaster to the court. His behavior is extremely treasonous and unjust, and it is intolerable to heaven. Now I will strip him of his title as a prince and demote him to a commoner. Now the rebels are trying to flee to the northern border. If any official finds anyone with suspicious behavior, he should report it to the court immediately. Anyone who knows about it but does not report it, or who harbors and shields them, will be punished as an accomplice! 】

In addition, Murong Che also appointed Xue Wuji as the vanguard on the spot, leading tens of thousands of people out of the city to track down Murong Ye's whereabouts in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northeast.

Even though Murong Ye was shot by an arrow, he couldn't take it lightly until he saw the body.

At the same time, Murong Che also sent a team of people to seal off Prince Xian's palace.

However, before the rebellion, Murong Ye had already arranged for all his close associates in Prince Xian's palace to leave.

Even Jiu Cai Hezi was arranged to follow Murong Mian to leave Beijing and go to the northern border in advance.

Therefore, when the government came to seal off Prince Xian's mansion, they arrested some unimportant maids and servants.

…

In the harem, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Murong Che had put down the rebellion.

"Ali, when I shot Murong Ye, the protagonist halo above his head dimmed for a moment, but soon recovered. Does this mean that he is protected by the protagonist halo and will not die for the time being?"

After shooting Murong Ye, Chu Xinyue went to Lingyun Palace immediately to share the battle situation with Xue Youli.

Xue Youli agreed with her guess, "If the protagonist can die so easily, what kind of protagonist is he? Besides, Murong Ye is really capable. In order to ensure the success of the rebellion, he set up several traps one after another. If we hadn't been prepared in advance, he might have really broken into the palace."

"Yeah, the male protagonist is indeed not that easy to deal with."

Chu Xinyue pouted and couldn't help but said, "Why didn't Princess Lan Zheng stab him in the heart with her sword? He didn't know that Lan Zheng was possessed by a puppet dragon at that time. He would not be on guard if Lan Zheng attacked him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Youli suddenly thought of something and her face changed immediately, "Oh no! How could we forget about the Nanzhao envoy!"

Since Murong Ye dared to choose this time to rebel, he must have thought of a way out for himself.

If he failed, he would have to create some chaos in advance to divert Murong Che's attention and make it easier for him to escape to the northern border.

The best way to divert Murong Che's attention and consume Jiuzhou's military strength is to break the peace between Nanzhao and Jiuzhou.

Therefore, according to Xue Youli's guess, Murong Ye should find a way to take action against the Nanzhao envoys who left the capital.

Chu Xinyue looked at the anxious expression on her face and asked in confusion, "Ali, what's wrong?"

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still, "I thought of something very important, I have to go see the emperor immediately!"

However, before Xue Youli walked out of Shuiyuexuan, Nanny Gui from Cining Palace came towards her with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

Nanny Gui was also the head nanny beside Empress Dowager Yin. Usually, Nanny Li was responsible for taking care of Empress Dowager Yin's food, clothing and daily life, while Nanny Gui was in charge of managing the Cining Palace.

Today, Nanny Li committed suicide in Cining Palace. Now all matters in Cining Palace are handled by Nanny Gui.

When Nanny Gui saw Xue Youli, she smiled and said, "Madam Xue, you are so happy! I am here to give you the imperial decree from the Empress Dowager!"

Xue Youli was stunned when he heard this, "The Queen Mother gave me an imperial decree?"

Aunt Gui's smile did not fade. "Yes, please kneel down and accept my order."

Chu Xinyue followed behind Xue Youli and was curious when she heard this. "What does the Queen Mother mean by giving you the imperial decree at this time?"

Xue Youli shook his head in confusion, "I don't know either. Let's wait and see."

As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and knelt down.

Grandma Gui immediately took out the Queen Mother's decree and read it aloud: "I am blessed by the Heaven and in charge of the harem. Now I have Xue Youli, who is extremely intelligent and calm in times of crisis, and saved me from danger. I specially grant her the title of Consort Xi and grant her the residence in Zhaohua Palace. I hope she will abide by her duties, assist in managing the harem, respect the emperor and love the people below, and do not betray the grace of the emperor. I sincerely wish this!"

After hearing the contents of the Queen Mother's decree, Chu Xinyue widened her eyes in surprise.

She nudged Xue Youli with her elbow, her voice cracking with joy, "Ali, did you hear that the Queen Mother has made you a concubine?"

Xue Youli saw that she was more excited than herself, and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I heard it!"

After replying to Chu Xinyue, she raised her hands above her head and said respectfully, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace!"

Everyone in Shuiyuexuan also had an excited expression on their faces.

Their master is so powerful that the Empress Dowager actually issued an edict personally to appoint a concubine!

This honor is unique in the harem!

Now that the master has not only been promoted to the position of concubine, but will also become the master of a palace, they, the servants, are also happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"Congratulations, Empress Xi!"

After Xue Youli received the Queen Mother's decree, she turned around and saw the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground congratulating her, "Everyone, please stand up. Today, everyone in Shuiyuexuan will be rewarded greatly!"

"Empress Xie Xifei!"

After Xue Youli sent Nanny Gui away, she instructed Banxia and the others to pack up Shuiyuexuan's things. Since she was named a concubine, she should move to Zhaohua Palace in the next two days.

She quickened her pace and headed towards Zicheng Hall.

At this time, Murong Che was discussing military affairs with his ministers.

Jiang Yuanshan had an army of 100,000 men under his command. If he rebelled, the people would surely suffer from war.

Moreover, once the war breaks out, the soldiers of Kyushu will point their swords and guns at their compatriots.

No one wants to see this situation!

In order to avoid a conflict between the soldiers guarding the northern border and the soldiers guarding the capital, we must come up with a foolproof plan.

However, Murong Ye's sudden move to abdicate has already lost the support of the people.

Those members of the Xianwang faction in the court who were originally wavering may collectively turn against the king this time.

Minghua Palace.

After hearing the imperial decree that Xue Youli was to be made a concubine, Lu Luo immediately ran to Tianxiang Pavilion to inform Xue Qingyao.

"What? You said the Queen Mother issued an edict to confer the title of Consort Xi on Xue Youli. How is that possible? The Queen Mother doesn't like Xue Youli at all!"

Xue Qingyao had just received the news that Murong Ye's rebellion had failed, and now she learned from Lu Luo that Xue Youli was made a concubine before her. She felt a lump in her heart.

She was unwilling to believe this fact and could only tell herself over and over again that this news must be fake!

However, the next moment, she saw Lu Luo raised three fingers, "I swear to heaven, every word I said is absolutely true! I asked Xiao Anzi from Shuiyuexuan, and he said that Xue Youli happened to misunderstand Nanny Li's trick when she went to Cining Palace this morning and saved the Queen Mother's life. That's why the Queen Mother named her Concubine Xi!"

"Saved the Queen Mother?"

After Xue Qingyao heard Lu Luo's account of the whole story, he was so angry that he threw the teacup beside him to the ground.

How could Xue Youli be so lucky that she even happened to be involved in Li Ma's rebellion?

no!

She couldn't wait any longer!

She had to plant the lover's seed on Murong Che as soon as possible!

The throne of queen can only belong to her!
