Chapter 91 I want to marry into the royal family and help you become the queen!
Murong Nan was so frightened by the long sword in Queen Mother Yin's hand that his tongue was tied. "Queen Mother, please don't be impulsive! Swords have no eyes. If you really hurt your son, you will be the one who feels sad in the future!"
Queen Mother Yin was so angry that she wanted to slap him again, "I feel sorry for a dog, but I don't feel sorry for you, do you?"
As she spoke, she walked in front of Chu Xinyue and pretended to put the hilt of the sword into Chu Xinyue's hand. "Yue'er, it's all my fault. I didn't teach this rebellious child well, and you have suffered a great injustice! Since this kid has no intention of repenting, I will hand the sword to you now. You can kill him or end him with one sword. I will never stop you!"
Murong Nan looked at the cold sword in Chu Xinyue's hand, and his legs went limp.
He knelt on the ground without waiting for Chu Xinyue to express her opinion. Even though his knees hit broken porcelain pieces, he did not even grin, but instead kept his back straight.
"Mother! I have thought it through. I am willing to take responsibility and marry Princess Qinghe!"
Are you kidding?
It would be better to take his life directly than to give the sword to Chu Xinyue!
He had a premonition that if he did not kneel down and express his desire to marry her, given Chu Xinyue's personality, she would swing the sword at him without hesitation and kill him on the spot.
Chu Xinyue held the sword and looked at the young man kneeling on the ground.
In fact, strictly speaking, Murong Nan can also be considered a victim of this conspiracy.
However, the victim treated the murderer as a treasure. How stupid! He opened the door for stupidity. How stupid!
Queen Mother Yin gave her the sword. Did she really want her to kill Murong Nan?
Of course not!
What Queen Mother Yin gave her was a sword and also a step.
For Chu Xinyue, the orphan, she has been taken care of by Empress Dowager Yin for more than ten years and has received her kindness.
Today, based on this favor, she couldn't possibly do anything to Murong Nan.
However, Murong Ye used Murong Nan to deal with her sisters. Murong Nan was both a victim and an accomplice.
How could she let the accomplices have an easy time?
Chu Xinyue looked at Queen Mother Yin, then turned her head to cast her gaze towards Murong Nan.
When everyone followed her gaze and looked at Murong Nan, she took the opportunity to kick away the broken porcelain pieces on the ground with her toes and knelt down. "After what happened today, Yue'er is confused and doesn't know what to do. As for how to deal with the Fifth Prince, Yue'er will listen to the Queen Mother. Everything is up to the Queen Mother!"
Queen Mother Yin knew that Chu Xinyue was a fiery person who would rather die than live in disgrace. After such a thing happened, Queen Mother Yin would not find it strange if she killed Murong Nan with a knife and then committed suicide.
Since Chu Xinyue did not attack Murong Nan, it means that she agreed with the solution I just mentioned.
So, Queen Mother Yin said to Murong Che, "Emperor, I remember that the fifth child will have his coming-of-age ceremony in two months. How about you draft an imperial decree to grant the fifth child and Yue'er a marriage, and schedule their wedding after the fifth child's coming-of-age ceremony?"
Xue Youli immediately wanted to object to this marriage.
After all, her good sister jumped into the trap set by Murong Ye in order to protect her.
Unfortunately, before she could say anything, Chu Xinyue, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly pulled the hem of her skirt.
Xue Youli lowered her head, and Chu Xinyue signaled her with her eyes not to be impulsive.
Since Murong Nan is devoted to Murong Ye both physically and mentally, Chu Xinyue will sleep with him, win his heart, make him hers from the inside out, and completely snatch him away from Murong Ye!
Xue Youli could probably guess what Chu Xinyue was thinking.
Fortunately, apart from his poor judgment of people, Murong Nan's character is fine, and he is also good-looking. Her sisters are not at a disadvantage living with such a handsome brother.
The only regret is that although the ointment that Murong Ye applied on Murong Nan had problems, the substance he added to the ointment had already evaporated. If the stalemate continued, they would not be able to produce any concrete evidence to identify him.
Murong Che glanced at Xue Youli, then said after a moment's hesitation, "Okay, when we return to the palace, I will arrange a marriage for them both."
Chu Xinyue immediately kowtowed to them, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your grace, my royal brother and mother!" Murong Nan glanced at his abdomen and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just marry a tigress, it’s better than being a eunuch.
As long as his body is preserved, the worst that can happen is that he can marry a few more concubines in the future!
When the dust settled, Xue Youli emerged from the game unscathed and safe.
Murong Ye narrowed his dark eyes coldly, glanced at the kneeling Chu Xinyue, and then turned to Xue Youli who was standing next to her.
Although the colors of the clothes these two people wore today were very similar, their looks and temperaments were completely different. He was not old and his eyes were not blurry, so there was absolutely no way he would mistake Xue Youli for Chu Xinyue.
He was certain that the person who had just rushed into Fenglai Courtyard to save Murong Nan was Xue Youli.
What he couldn't understand was that he had clearly asked people to guard outside the yard, so how did Chu Xinyue get in from? And how did Xue Youli slip out of the yard right under his nose?
The matter had been resolved, and Queen Mother Yin breathed a sigh of relief. She turned to Erxi at the door and said, "Erxi, the ground is cold, go and help your master up!"
"yes!"
Erxi helped Chu Xinyue up from the ground, and Queen Mother Yin said in a gentle and caring voice, "Yue'er, you've been frightened. Can I call the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Chu Xinyue shrank her shoulders, pointed at Xue Youli beside her and whispered, "Your Majesty, Ms. Xue is proficient in medicine, and it will be the same if Yue'er is allowed to see her."
Ever since Xue Youli treated Queen Mother Yin's headache, Queen Mother Yin's impression of Xue Youli has become better and better.
She thought that Xue Youli was also a woman, so it would be easier for her to communicate with Chu Xinyue, so she said to Xue Youli, "Mr. Xue, please take care of Yue'er today."
"yes."
Queen Mother Yin was worried that Chu Xinyue would feel uncomfortable being watched by so many people, so she asked Xue Youli to take her away first.
After leaving the yard, Xue Youli grabbed Chu Xinyue's hand and said, "Yue'er, have you thought it through? Do you really want to marry Murong Nan?"
Chu Xinyue nodded, "Yes, I've thought about it. Even if I don't marry him today, the Queen Mother will find a way to marry me to someone else in the future. Rather than marrying someone I've never even met, it's better to marry Murong Nan."
"But Murong Nan is the follower of the King Xian. What will you do if he stands firmly on the side of the King Xian in the future? After what happened today, our relationship will definitely be exposed. If Murong Ye instigates Murong Nan to deal with you, are you afraid?"
Chu Xinyue pretended to be scared, "Of course I'm scared! I'm afraid I'll kill him with one punch!"
"I'm serious here. If you regret it, I'll go find Murong Che!"
By using her money to treat his illness as a bargaining chip, she should be able to free her best friend.
"Marry him. Murong Nan is the emperor's younger brother, the empress dowager's biological son, and a royal relative. Not only does he have a tender face and a good figure, but he's also handsome. Besides, after marrying him, I won't have to work hard to enjoy endless wealth and glory. Isn't this the life I most want?"
Chu Xinyue said at this point, "Ali, he is a little bit stupid, but he is a prince after all. If we snatch him away from the hero, do you think our chances of winning will be better?"
Xue Youli's pupils tightened, and suddenly she realized, "You don't mean to..."
Chu Xinyue nodded and replied in a sonorous voice, "Yes, I want to marry into the royal family and help you become the queen!"
