Chapter 79 She went crazy in the harem!

There is a big lake in Qinghe Garden, named Canglan Lake.

Canglan Waterside Pavilion is located beside Canglan Lake and is specially designed for people to rest and enjoy the lotus.

At that ugly moment, the entire summer palace was silent and everyone fell asleep. It was a perfect time to do some sneaky things under the moonlight!

In the Canglan Water Pavilion, two figures in black nightgown stood behind the pillars.

"…Your Highness, this is what happened. Xue Qingyao's schemes were repeatedly broken, and in the end the emperor punished her, and she was demoted from a noble to a beauty."

Murong Ye wore a black nightgown and stood with his hands behind his back, almost blending into the night.

The woman standing in front of him was none other than Xue Qingyao's personal maid Lian Xin.

Lian Xin was arranged by Murong Ye to be by Xue Qingyao's side. She was said to be a maid carefully selected for her, but in fact she was Murong Ye's spy. While helping Xue Qingyao to win favor, she was also responsible for monitoring Xue Qingyao's every move.

After listening to Lian Xin's report, Murong Ye couldn't help but frown, "Did I underestimate Xue Youli, or overestimate Xue Qingyao?"

Before this, he had received a letter from Lian Xin sent by pigeon while he was far away in the northern frontier. Xue Youli was mentioned more than once in the letter.

Murong Ye had witnessed Xue Qingyao's methods and schemes with his own eyes when he was in Lingzhou.

He originally thought that Xue Qingyao could help him achieve great things, but Xue Qingyao had been in the palace for more than three months but had made no achievements. Not only did he fail to gain Murong Che's trust, he was also demoted a level.

He couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake at first.

Lian Xin looked up at the tall and handsome man in front of her, her eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, Xue Qingyao is a little smart, but not much. You can't put all your chips on her!"

If she hadn't been plain-looking, she would have been the one to enter the palace as a noble.

However, Lian Xin did not envy Xue Qingyao at all, because she did not want to commit herself to a man she did not love, even if that man was the emperor.

In her opinion, Murong Che was frail and sickly and was not worthy of sitting in that position.

Murong Ye understood her hidden meaning, stared at her with his phoenix eyes, and said softly, "You are my secret weapon. You are very important, so you must be more patient than anyone else in the palace."

Even when he looks at a dog on the street, he can see the affection in his eyes.

However, Lian Xin's cheeks became hot when he gazed at her so affectionately, and she lowered her voice, "I am just worried that Xue Qingyao's identity will be exposed after the defeat in the confrontation with Xue Youli, which will affect Your Highness's great cause!"

Murong Ye looked at her sincere and worried eyes, raised his big hand and touched her shoulder, "This requires you to be there to give her some advice. Xue Qingyao is an outsider after all, and I feel more at ease leaving many things to you. After returning to the palace, you know what to do, right?"

Lian Xin turned her head to glance at the big hand on her shoulder, and her cheeks became even hotter.

She nodded vigorously, not daring to look Murong Ye in the eye again, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If Xue Youli plays tricks again, I will not let her live past the next month."

She is the most useful hidden chess piece in Murong Ye's hand, a death warrior. She is very skilled, so assassinating Xue Youli is naturally no problem for her.

"Well, with you here, our great cause will surely be realized soon."

Murong Ye withdrew his hand, looked up at the moon hanging in the night sky, and handed her a small black pill. "It's getting late. You should go back, so as not to arouse suspicion."

"yes!"

Lian Xin took the pill skillfully and swallowed it in one gulp.

She looked at Murong Ye reluctantly again before turning and leaving.

She knew that she was just a chess piece and shouldn't have any improper thoughts about His Highness.

His Highness had saved her life in the past, and she did not ask for anything else, but only hoped to stay by His Highness' side and accompany him forever in the future...

Murong Ye looked at Lian Xin's figure disappearing into the night and sneered. Even the teardrop mole at the corner of his left eye seemed to show a look of disgust.

A mere lowly maid dares to dream of becoming his woman. What a fool's wishful thinking!

After Lian Xin left, Murong Ye immediately walked out of the water pavilion and entered the rockery next to Canglan Lake.

He had not walked far when suddenly a hand reached out and pulled him behind the rockery nearby.

Murong Ye was startled and raised his hand to grab the opponent's neck.

His moves were fast and fierce. If he had used a little more force, he could have broken the neck in his hand.

"Ye Lang, it's me!"

Hearing this familiar voice, Murong Ye recognized the identity of the woman in front of him in the moonlight, and then withdrew his hand that was pinching her neck.

Xue Qingyao looked at the gloomy man in front of her, and deliberately rushed over to hug his waist, "Ye Lang, I miss you so much!"

There was a hint of impatience in Murong Ye's eyes, and his first reaction when he raised his arm was to push her away.

But before his hand touched Xue Qingyao, his movements froze, and then he stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms, "I miss you, too."

In her previous life, Xue Qingyao loved Rong Ye wholeheartedly. She was blinded by love and ignored many details.

In this life, she had given up all feelings and love, and only wanted to use Murong Ye, so she saw his instinctive reactions and little gestures of disgust clearly.

It turned out that this man wanted to use her stunning beauty to seduce the emperor from the very beginning, and the vows he made to her before were all to deceive her into working wholeheartedly for him.

But now that Xue Qingyao has entered the palace, he has seen the situation clearly.

Without Murong Ye's support, she was not sure she could defeat Xue Youli based on her own abilities.

So she had planned it all out. She would continue to pretend to be affectionate to numb Murong Ye. After she had used Murong Ye to get everything she wanted, she would use a sword to cut open this man's chest, take out his heart and take a closer look to see what color his heart really was.

Xue Qingyao reached out and pulled Murong Ye's sleeve, complaining to him about Xue Youli in a wronged tone, "Mr. Ye, I had already gained Murong Che's trust in the palace before, but it was destroyed by that woman Xue Youli. She slandered me in front of Murong Che time and time again, and even encouraged Murong Che to distance himself from me! Xue Youli is the biggest stumbling block for me to ascend to the throne of the queen, can you think of a way to help me get rid of her?"

Murong Ye's narrow eyes narrowed slowly, "Are you talking about the girl who snatched food from Princess Qinghe all night?"

Xue Youli is the youngest among the newcomers to the palace, and with her delicate and lively appearance, it is indeed easy for her to win the favor of men.

When Xue Qingyao heard Murong Ye affectionately call Xue Youli "girl", her heart ached and she felt burning with jealousy.

However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she nodded gently and said, "Yes, don't be fooled by her harmless face. She is ruthless when it comes to killing people. She killed her lover before she entered the palace, her lover's sister, and the daughter of the Duke of Anguo! She went crazy in the harem!"

At this moment, Xue Youli and Chu Xinyue were lying face to face, motionless on the wall next to the rockery.

In such a dark environment, they were dressed all in black and were indeed difficult to be spotted.

The two of them arrived earlier than Murong Ye.

Chu Xinyue saw with her own eyes how Murong Ye fooled Lian Xin and then fooled Xue Qingyao, and her filter of male protagonists was shattered.

This man is a master of time management!

She listened to Murong Ye flirting with Xue Qingyao, tugged on Xue Youli's sleeve, and gestured to her: [I remember my novel said that Concubine Chun would also pass by here tonight, why hasn't she come yet? ]

Xue Youli was also looking for Concubine Chun. When he heard Chu Xinyue's question, he raised his right hand and gestured to reply to her.

At this moment——

Snap!

Suddenly, from behind a rockery not far from Murong Ye and his companions, there was the crisp sound of dead branches being stepped on and broken.

The sound was not loud, but in the silent night, everyone present could hear it clearly!

Murong Ye's arms around Xue Qingyao loosened instantly, his eyes cold and murderous, "Who's there?"
