Chapter 71 I'll Go to Your Place Tonight

Xue Qingyao glanced at Xue Youli inconspicuously, and seeing that she was speechless, the depression in his heart finally dissipated a little.

Xue Youli has been against her in every way since she entered the palace. If she can kill her today at the cost of her own lives, then Shen Ruolan and Meng Xingzhi will have died a worthy death.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to reply, Xue Youli walked up to Murong Che, pointed at Meng Xingzhi and asked all the concubines present, "Sisters, who do you think is prettier, the emperor or Meng Xingzhi?"

Lady Tan heard her asking such an irrelevant question and couldn't help but snort, "Of course the emperor is good-looking! A commoner like Meng Xingzhi is not even as good as the eunuch Wang who has no roots beside the emperor. How can he be compared with the emperor?"

Wang Defa: “…” I was suddenly praised, but I wasn’t happy at all!

The other concubines also echoed, "That's right! Who is Meng Xingzhi? He is not even worthy of carrying the emperor's shoes!"

"Your Majesty is a man of heaven. Meng can't even match a hair of yours!"

Xue Youli smiled slightly, agreeing with their words, "My sisters are right. Anyone with eyes can see that the emperor is taller, more powerful, and more handsome than Meng Xingzhi. How can I, who enjoys the emperor's favor every day, like a man who hugs a woman and kisses her anytime, anywhere?"

Shen Ruolan: "..." was implied.

Seeing that the man beside her did not express his opinion, Xue Youli pinched the man's dragon robe with her fingers and shook it coquettishly, "Your Majesty, do you think that someone was caught having an affair with her lover in Yu Garden, and someone else was caught giving her lover a purse, and they deliberately put the blame on me?"

[Murong Che, open your eyes full of wisdom and see clearly. Meng Xingzhi is a pretty boy with no ability and no responsibility. He is not even as good as a piece of skin on your heel. Even if I become blind, I can't like him! So, don't doubt my loyalty to you! ]

"It's you who hurt me!"

Shen Ruolan listened to Xue Youli's words, glared at her angrily, and complained, "Your Majesty, Xue Youli used aphrodisiac on me. I don't even know Meng Xingzhi, and the rumors of a secret meeting are nonsense!"

Murong Che narrowed his eyes coldly, "What kind of incense?"

Shen Ruolan felt that this was her last chance of survival, and she pointed at the pavilion and said, "Xue Youli had lit a scent in the pavilion, and I was harmed by her! Your Majesty, just check it out, and you will know that what I said is true!"

Murong Che glared at her and ordered in a cold voice, "Wang Defa, check!"

Wang Defa brought two eunuchs to carefully check the pavilion. "Your Majesty, we did not find the aphrodisiac in the pavilion that Noble Lan mentioned."

The color on Shen Ruolan's face instantly drained away. "How could this happen? Xue Youli, you must have hidden the incense burner! You want to kill me!"

Xue Youli met her angry and unwilling eyes and said coldly, "You were just having sex with Meng Xingzhi in the pavilion, and these concubines took a look at my shadow reflected on the bamboo curtain from a distance and concluded that the person in the pavilion was me! The reason behind this is really terrifying when you think about it carefully!"

As she spoke, she bowed to Murong Che and spoke out in a sonorous voice, "Your Majesty! Noblewoman Lan conspired with others to set up a trap to harm me and spread false rumors in the harem in an attempt to destroy my innocence. Please, Your Majesty, find out the whole story and give me justice!"

[Shen Ruolan, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, then I will show mercy and send you to hell! ]

The soft light fell on Xue Youming's pretty face. Murong Che just stared at her. He admired her intelligence, decisiveness and composure in the face of danger tonight.

Murong Che has been watching the show for such a long time, it's time for these little clowns to leave.

He put his hands behind his back and spoke in a cold tone without any emotion, "Shen had an affair with someone and slandered the concubines. The evidence is solid, so she shall be sentenced to death! Tan lied and slandered the concubines, so she shall be stripped of her position and sent to the cold palace. The few people who slandered Xue Guiren just now shall be sent to the cold palace together. Meng Xingzhi had an affair with Shen, so he shall be beaten to death with sticks!"

The concubines who had previously pointed out that the person in the pavilion was Xue Youli turned pale with fear and kowtowed to apologize, "Your Majesty, it was too dark at night, and we were mistaken for a moment. We did not mean to discredit Mr. Xue. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

"Go to the cold palace and reflect on your mistakes!"

Murong Che punished several people at once, and all the concubines who had not expressed their opinions just now felt sad.

Fortunately, they didn't say too much, otherwise if so many people were sent to the cold palace together, it might have directly warmed up the cold palace.

Shen Ruolan was unwilling to accept this, and she shouted at Murong Che, "Your Majesty, you have raided my family, are you going to kill me? I am sincere to you, but you treat me like a worn out shoe! Why?"

Are you going to cheat on him with all your heart?

What a joke!

Murong Che was too lazy to pay attention to her and said to Wang Defa impatiently, "Drag him away!"

Wang Defa saw that the man was angry, and quickly sent a eunuch to drag Shen Ruolan away.

Shen Ruolan struggled and screamed hysterically, "Your Majesty, you are too partial! Every time Xue Youli made a mistake, you forgave her without saying a word. Why do you want to execute me without showing any mercy when it comes to me?"

Murong Che just thought she was ridiculous, "Why should I have any friendship with you?"

He now feels unlucky if he looks at her for even a second!

"Putting aside the facts, is Xue Youli completely innocent? Meng Xingzhi is her lover! And there is Xue Qingyao. Meng Xingzhi has her money on him, why don't you punish her? To put it bluntly, Your Majesty, you are biased... ugh!"

Shen Ruolan had only said half of her words when Wang Defa took off her socks and stuffed them into her mouth before Murong Che got angry.

When Wang Defa dragged Meng Xingzhi and the others away, Xue Qingyao kowtowed and apologized, "Your Majesty, I lost my purse and almost made a big mistake. I voluntarily deduct my salary for half a year and copy the palace rules a hundred times to reflect on my mistakes!"

The concubines who came to join in the fun also knelt down one after another, "I will also punish myself by copying the palace rules a hundred times, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Xue Qingyao was indeed smart. She asked for punishment herself before Murong Che punished her.

However, Murong Che did not intend to touch her at this time.

She was just an insignificant bait.

It's easy to deal with her, but once you touch her, it's easy to cause trouble.

Anyway, she has deducted her own salary, so it doesn't cost any money to support her.

He was still waiting to use her to catch the big fish behind her.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes." After the concubines stood up, they hurriedly took their leave, as if they were afraid that the emperor would go back on his word, and each one walked faster than the other.

In the pavilion, Chu Xinyue watched such a big show and got up to go back to sleep.

Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Xue Youli from the corner of his eye, "What a disappointment, I couldn't even decide the winner with you tonight! I will go to Lingyun Palace to find you tomorrow, and whoever refuses to accept the challenge is a coward!"

Xue Youli knew that she was just trying to get a free meal from him, "Okay, Princess, if you want to fight, I'll accompany you to the end!"

"Okay, tomorrow I will beat you to a pulp!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in Lingyun Palace!"

After the two of them finished their trick, Xue Youli was about to bow and leave, but the man grabbed her arm.

His big hand gently squeezed her hand, and his eyes darkened as he thought of something. "I'll go to your place tonight."
