Chapter 20 First Kiss

"!!!"

Time stopped the moment their lips touched.

Murong Che's pupils tightened, his brain exploded, and he stood there in a daze.

He just stared at the woman so close to him, feeling the soft and unfamiliar touch on her lips. The blood in his body froze and even his heart seemed to stop beating.

When Xue Youli blocked the man's lips, her mind became clear.

[Oh no! How could I have forgotten the teenage mode? If I do something outrageous to Murong Che again, will I still be able to see the sun tomorrow? ]

Just as she was feeling anxious, the Book of Secrets slowly appeared in midair: [Congratulations to the host on your coming of age. The adolescent mode has been closed, and the Book of Secrets has officially entered the adult mode.]

Xue Youli's almond eyes suddenly lit up: [So, now I can do this and that to Murong Che? Great, we've already kissed, let's just turn it into a passionate kiss!]

Xue Youli does what he says.

However, as a woman who had never been in love in her two lifetimes, she had no skills at all when kissing.

Murong Che felt Xue Youli's clumsy movements and felt a little embarrassed at first.

However, as they kissed, his long, strong arms involuntarily wrapped around her waist.

Unfortunately, after only a few seconds of kissing, Xue Youli accidentally broke the man's mouth with her teeth.

"hiss!"

Murong Che felt pain and couldn't help but frown.

I'm fine with kissing, but why does this woman bite me?

Xue Youli was ready for a big fight, but at the critical moment, the chain was disconnected due to poor technical skills.

Hearing the man's breath, she quickly loosened her arms around his neck and withdrew from a deep kiss.

She looked up at the man's lips again and saw his broken and bleeding lower lip, and her heart sank.

[Oh no, I had no experience kissing for the first time, and I actually bit Murong Che's mouth! ]

[How can I stop him from getting angry? Judging from his reaction just now, he's a terrible kisser. How about kissing him again and pretending that he bites me?]

Xue Youli felt that she was just an ordinary little genius.

Thinking of this, she immediately reached out and grabbed the man's collar which was soaked by bath water, intending to continue the kiss that had just been unfinished.

Murong Che knew clearly what she was thinking, but when he glanced at her slightly raised face, his breathing stagnated and his body tensed up helplessly.

The air was restless and the water in the bathtub seemed to be getting hotter.

Xue Youli's face moved closer and closer, her fair and delicate face was stained with a layer of red, and her curled eyelashes fluttered gently. Although her behavior was bold, he could see through the shyness and nervousness hidden in her eyes.

Plop!

Plop, plop!

Murong Che's eyes fell on her rosy lips, and his heartbeat instantly went out of control, as if a deer was madly hitting his chest.

It’s a mess, everything is a mess!

The man had no time to think. He pushed Xue Youli away and staggered out of the bathtub.

Xue Youli was stunned, and looked up at the tall man beside the bathtub, and immediately caught sight of Murong Che's red ears.

[What's going on? Is Murong Che shy? ]

Her joking voice made Murong Che's body temperature rise and his ears turned even redder.

He tried his best to suppress the frenzied deer in his heart, and without even taking a second look into the bathtub, he rushed to the window without looking back, climbed out and left.

“Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah”

The nightgown was still dripping with water. Murong Che walked out of Lingyun Palace and was blown by the night wind, sneezing several times on the spot.

In the bathroom, Xue Youli looked at the water stains on the windowsill and couldn't help but smile.

It turns out that Murong Che also has such an innocent and lovely side.

Just after the man climbed out the window and left, a dark shadow that had been hiding outside Shuiyuexuan quietly followed him.

But Murong Che was very fast, and the black shadow tried his best but still lost the man.

When it was almost dawn, the black shadow returned to Minghua Palace to report.

"You said Xue Youli cheated on me? Did you see it clearly?"

It turned out that the black shadow was Shen Ruolan's spy, who was specifically monitoring Shuiyuexuan's every move.

The eunuch was stunned by her words. "It was too dark. I couldn't see the man's face, but I am sure he was a man!"

Shen Ruolan sneered, "What a Xue Youli! He has such bad personal ethics, and he dares to cheat on his wife by relying on the emperor's favor! I finally caught him!"

Xue Qingyao was also present, and seeing her smug expression, he almost felt like he was going crazy.

If it weren't for the fact that Duke Anguo held a high position of power in the court, she would have died countless times in the harem with her stupid brain!

Therefore, a mad dog with a background like Shen Ruolan is most suitable to be used as a gun.

"Sister, if you catch a thief, you will find the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you will find both of them. We have no evidence, not only will the emperor not believe us, but Xue Youli might even bite us back."

Shen Ruolan thought what she said made sense and nodded quickly, "Yes, sister is still thoughtful! Xiao Haozi, you continue to keep an eye on Shuiyuexuan's movements, and make sure to catch them in bed next time!"

Seeing that she was so eager to succeed, Xue Qingyao simply told her the truth, "Sister, we need to wait for the right time for this matter. There is no need to rush. There are many people in the harem who hate Xue Youli, and some want to deal with her. If we are lucky, we can reap the benefits."

Shen Ruolan felt that everything Xue Qingyao said made sense, and she obeyed her orders. "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."

They chatted for a while before daybreak came.

At this time, a young eunuch came over and told them that the emperor had caught a cold last night and ordered them to go to the Changsheng Palace to take care of him.

At the same time, Lingyun Palace also received the news that Murong Che fell ill.

Xue Youli couldn't help shaking her head as she recalled the scene of the man leaving in a wet state last night.

Murong Che is really a frail and sickly fragile emperor!

I don’t know if this physical condition will be passed on to the next generation?

In order to give birth to a healthy baby, should she also take care of his body?

No! If she made him strong and healthy, when would she be able to become the Queen Mother?

Let’s go to the Hall of Eternal Life first to see the situation.

However, since she was going to serve the sick, the pink palace dress she was wearing seemed a little inappropriate.

So she changed into a crescent-shaped white waisted long skirt and only inserted two jade hairpins in her hair.

She asked Banxia to accompany her and left Lingyun Palace together.

It was not until she entered the Changsheng Palace that she found out that Concubine Rong had not only summoned her, but had also called all the concubines above the seventh rank in the harem.

Even when they were attending to the emperor's illness, these women were unwilling to miss the opportunity to show up in front of the emperor, and each one dressed more flamboyantly than the other.

Xue Youli looked over and saw that the concubines' heads were adorned with gold hairpins and jewels, so dazzling that they almost blinded people.

Tsk tsk tsk…

These women knew that Murong Che was ill, yet they still wore gold and silver jewelry. How is this any different from setting off firecrackers to celebrate at the grave?

Concubine Ning stood by the bed, looking at the concubines, and gently bent over to ask the man on the dragon couch, "Your Majesty, I learned that you were not feeling well, so I asked my sisters to come over. Would you like to pick a few smart ones to stay and serve you closely?"

Among the women present, except Xue Youli who knew that Murong Che was allergic to women, the others were unaware of this and simply thought that the young emperor was absorbed in state affairs and had no interest in women.

Now, Concubine Ning called most of the women in the harem.

Xue Youli suddenly became curious about how Murong Che would solve the current dilemma.
