This thing is called "Thousand-Mile Ear". It looks like two small bowls. One end is placed on the wall of Lingxi Palace, and the other end is connected to a room several feet away by a specially made silk rope.
The person listening wore two small bowl-like objects to their ears.
That way you can hear most of the voices.
Murong Anle told Li Xuanji every word of the conversation between Xiao Yuanshuang and Xiao Yuanche that day.
Li Xuanji laughed in anger again.
Seriously, is it true that only the dead don't cause trouble?
So the two old foxes put their heads together and decided they had to resort to drastic measures.
Xiao Yuanshuang had just entered the palace and hadn't even returned to Lingxi Palace. She went straight to Murong Yue's Taihe Palace.
Before they even reached the entrance of the main hall, they were stopped by a group of imperial guards.
"Your Highness, a murder case occurred in the capital a few days ago, resulting in the deaths of three people."
"Through the investigation by the Imperial Guards, it was found that the deceased were all from the Yue Kingdom."
"With the New Year approaching, I am ordered to protect Your Highness. Please stay in Lingxi Palace and do not go out."
"How dare you! Our Highness is an honored guest. Not only do you not increase patrols and protection, but you also won't let His Highness go out!" Cherry immediately stepped forward with her hands on her hips.
Normally, when something like this happens, she acts as the master's mouth mule.
The guard continued speaking to Xiao Yuanshuang, "The Imperial Guards have been searching overnight. For Your Highness's safety and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Your Highness will have to endure this for a few more days."
Xiao Yuanshuang was so angry she almost twisted her handkerchief to pieces.
It seems that someone did die, but it's hard to say whether they were from the Yue Kingdom.
If he insists on not being confined to Lingxi Palace, then he or that fool Xiao Yuanche will be the next to get into trouble.
Even a scapegoat has been found.
The crime was committed by an unknown perpetrator.
For her own safety, she could only grit her teeth and angrily return to Lingxi Palace.
It's obvious without even thinking that it was Murong Yue who did this.
She secretly vowed that she would either marry Li Xuanji and slowly destroy the Qing Kingdom, or return to the Yue Kingdom to become the empress and start a war with the Qing Kingdom!
We will repay the humiliation we have suffered today a hundredfold or tenfold.
When she returned to her residence, Xiao Yuanche had also returned.
"Second brother, the Qing Kingdom is really going too far. They've fabricated some kind of murder case and want to keep us locked up here for the New Year."
Xiao Yuanshuang was really angry.
He had planned everything out, found a way to use the two million taels of silver, and even discovered a new path forward.
But before she could even take a single step down that road, she and her mentally challenged second brother were imprisoned.
It was truly incredibly frustrating.
"Wait, second brother, what's with that expression?"
Seeing Xiao Yuanche's extremely remorseful and hesitant expression, Xiao Yuanshuang's heart skipped a beat.
A bad thought popped into my head.
"Second brother, what did you do behind my back?"
Xiao Yuanche immediately reacted as if his tail had been stepped on, "What do you mean by 'what am I doing behind your back'?"
"I did it openly and honestly!"
He recounted how he discovered the Liao people buying grain, how he robbed the silver notes, and how he framed the Qing people.
Of course, he concealed the fact that he had spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy the courtesan.
"Since you had people hide them so well, why did the Imperial Guards find out that you were from Yue?"
"I have no idea!"
Xiao Yuanche spread his hands.
Xiao Yuanshuang suppressed the urge to curse, "Good second brother, you should think about how you're going to get away if the Imperial Guards find out about you."
snort.
Something that does more harm than good.
Li Xuanji was in a good mood; finally, there was some peace and quiet.
"Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching. Do you have any plans?" The relationship between the master and disciple had eased considerably, and Li Xuanji's tone was much gentler.
Murong Yue was fiddling with her left and right protectors.
Hedgehog and Rabbit.
Ah Hao invited the Imperial Preceptor to teach His Majesty.
At this moment, Murong Yue put her hands on her hips, pondered for a moment, and asked, "You... can you draw?"
"I have some knowledge of it."
Li Xuanji was very humble.
Ah Hao smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor's painting skills are unparalleled in the world."
"Very impressive."
Worried that His Majesty might not understand, Ah Hao explained it in simpler terms.
“Then you draw,” Murong Yue said, pointing to the paintbrush and paper on the table, her big eyes filled with joy and anticipation.
Now it was Li Xuanji and Ahao's turn to be surprised.
"What would Your Majesty like me to paint?"
Since His Majesty has made such a request, how could we possibly refuse?
Murong Yue pointed to herself with her slender, white fingers, "Painting, me."
It turns out His Majesty wanted to have a portrait of himself made.
Although he didn't know the reason, he was certainly willing to help.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Murong Yue became very interested.
She first asked Ah Hao to prepare a table of delicious food, then gently placed an adorable little hedgehog in her left hand and a lively little rabbit in her right hand beside her.
At this moment, she was like the fairy Chang'e, but only a gluttonous fairy.
Her sweet and adorable appearance is truly melting one's heart.
"Your Majesty, you can generally remain still and eat and drink normally."
As soon as Li Xuanji laid out the paper, he noticed Murong Yue's gaze constantly drifting towards the food on the table.
So he smiled and gave his instructions.
"good."
Murong Yue began to eat in small bites.
Li Xuanji rolled up his wide sleeves with his arms and began to paint seriously.
It must be admitted that Murong Gan and Lan Yun were truly blessed with good looks. Murong Yue was exceptionally beautiful, and after becoming the Empress, her unparalleled aura of dominance was even more captivating.
Now, after a serious illness, her expression has gained a touch of the innocence that is appropriate for someone her age.
