Chapter 74 I'm Willing to Make an Exception for You
Murong Che put down the bowl in his hand and glanced at her leisurely, "You say."
Xue Youli prepared a plan in her mind, "It's like this, I was so happy to learn that I could go to the summer resort with the emperor. I feel so honored. There are many sisters going with us this time, and I want to live as close to the emperor as possible. Even if the emperor favors other sisters, I will be satisfied as long as I can see the emperor from time to time."
Fighting for favor means caring, making requests means liking, so who would refuse the love of a lovely beauty?
But for Xue Youli, saving his life is the most important thing when going out.
Living next door to Murong Che, not only can she take advantage of him and get some of his guards and secret guards, but it will also be more convenient for her to meet her good sister Chu Xinyue.
Murong Che couldn't help laughing when he heard her high-sounding speech. "Concubine Rong and Yin Zhaoyi have already arranged your residence."
Since Yin Xuan'er got the right to assist in managing the six palaces, of course she had to make things convenient for herself. Not only did she arrange herself to live next door to Murong Che, she also arranged Xue Youli to live in a courtyard farthest from Murong Che.
It’s not like Xue Youli has never worked before. In the workplace, people can be replaced temporarily for things like promotion and salary increase, let alone just changing residence?
"Your Majesty, I want to be closer to you, not only because I love you sincerely, but also to spare more time to continue treating you. After all, your condition has entered the final stage of treatment, which is the most critical period! Perhaps changing to a new environment will help you break through the treatment bottleneck and recover all at once!"
[People can't refuse something that is of great benefit to them, but I can't guarantee the extent to which Murong Che's misogyny can be cured! Anyway, no matter what, draw the big cake for him first! ]
She was making up her mind, and the abacus beads were about to jump onto Murong Che's face.
But she was right. People always consider their own interests first.
Yin Xuan'er lived close to him, and his secret was in danger of being exposed.
Xue Youli lives close to him, so his secret may be cured.
Murong Che is not stupid, so of course he chooses the latter.
However, looking at Xue Youli's foxy look, he deliberately wanted to tease her and said in an awkward tone, "In principle, since the accommodation has been arranged, there is no reason to change it."
[You are the emperor. You said you wanted to change a woman to live next door to you. Who dares to refute you? To put it bluntly, you just can't bear to move Yin Xuan'er to a remote courtyard! And you're still making excuses! You're just pretending!]
Xue Youli cursed him in her heart, with a frustrated and uncomfortable expression on her face. She sniffed before she spoke, making a tearful tone, "Your Majesty is right, I shouldn't have broken the rules. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, I won't disturb you, I'll take my leave now."
Murong Che didn't expect her expression to change so quickly, as if she might cry at any time, and he couldn't help but find it funny.
He grabbed her arm with his big hand and pulled it gently, and Xue Youli sat in the man's arms knowingly.
Murong Che raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek. "In principle, it's not possible, but then again, I'm willing to make an exception for you."
"Really?" Xue Youli looked at him with her sparkling almond-shaped eyes, her clear eyes full of surprise.
Murong Che really liked to see this lively and lovely expression on her face. He knew that what she said might not be sincere, but every word she said just suited his taste.
It was easy for him to pamper such a little girl who was so in tune with him and was used to acting coquettishly.
"Well, I have granted your request."
Seeing the man so straightforward, Xue Youli happily kissed him on the face, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Then I will go back and pack my luggage first!"
She swiftly got up from the man's lap, bowed to thank him, and left happily.
Murong Che watched her back as she walked briskly, his thin lips twitching slightly, and even his eyes were filled with a smile that he was not aware of.
The scorching summer was approaching, and on June 18th, Murong Che took a group of concubines from the harem to Qinghe Garden to escape the heat.
Qinghe Garden is a royal palace built in the picturesque Qianzhou. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it an excellent summer resort.
In addition to the beauties in the harem, Prince Xian Murong Ye and the underage Fifth Prince Murong Nan, there were also a group of royal relatives accompanying him.
The Qinghe Garden Palace is very large and is divided into the outer garden and the inner garden.
The women in the harem and Murong Che lived in the inner garden, while Murong Ye, Murong Nan and the royal family lived in the outer garden.
When going up the mountain, Yin Xuan'er, relying on her aunt-niece relationship with the empress dowager, squeezed out Chu Xinyue and rode on the empress dowager's phoenix sedan all the way to the palace.
After getting off the phoenix sedan, Yin Xuan'er subconsciously wanted to walk to the yard next to Murong Che, but was stopped by the maid Qing He, "Master, our residence is not here."
Yin Xuan'er was stunned and turned to look at the dragon chariot parked not far away.
Murong Che and Xue Youli got off the dragon chariot one after another.
One of them is handsome and tall, the other is bright and pretty. Standing together, they are so well matched.
Yin Xuan'er's gaze fell on Xue Youli, and she felt a breath of frustration stuck in her chest, making her teeth itchy with anger.
Ever since Murong Che warned her about playing the piano in the palace, she has been doing her best to assist Concubine Rong in managing the affairs of the harem.
This time, she simply used her position to arrange a residence closest to the emperor for herself, but before she left, she was intercepted by Xue Youli.
In the past, she always thought that Concubine Rong and Concubine Li were her strong enemies and did not take Xue Youli seriously.
It was not until such an arrogant and domineering person like Shen Ruolan fell into the hands of Xue Youli that she realized that this woman was a ruthless character.
Concubine Rong and Concubine Li have served the emperor for many years and have a solid foundation in the harem, so it is a bit difficult to deal with them.
The most urgent task at the moment is to deal with Xue Youli.
However, there were more than one or two concubines who came to the palace to escape the summer heat and wanted Xue Youli dead, so there was no need for her to do it herself.
Thinking about this, she glanced at Xue Youli again, then said to Qinghe, "Let's go."
"I have met Yin Zhaoyi."
When Yin Xuan'er was about to reach her residence, she ran into Xue Qingyao.
Xue Qingyao took the initiative to greet her, but she just responded with a lukewarm, "Yeah."
She dislikes both of them with the surname Xue.
This time, Xue Qingyao and Xue Youli were deliberately arranged to live together in order to make them fight with each other.
No matter how they fight, it's worth it for her to watch the excitement.
But the abominable Xue Youli ruined her plan!
When Xue Qingyao saw Yin Xuan'er's grumpy face, he knew that she was angry at Xue Youli for occupying the residence next to the emperor.
Didn't Yin Xuan'er arrange for her to live so close to Xue Youli just to sit back and watch the fight?
How could Xue Qingyao not guess her sinister intentions?
At this time, Xue Qingyao knew that Yin Xuan'er was angry. Her eyes flashed, and she took out a sachet and handed it to her attentively, "Empress Zhaoyi, there are many poisonous insects and snakes on the mountain. I heard that there was a poisonous snake that crawled to the head of the Fifth Prince's bed in the palace last year! Before leaving the palace, I prepared a lot of sachets to repel mosquitoes. If Empress Zhaoyi doesn't mind, you can hang it by the bed. It can not only repel insects but also calm the nerves and help you sleep."
