Chapter 165 I only ask the emperor to give me a child
Xue Youli mingled with a group of young eunuchs and followed Wang Defa's purchasing team out of the palace.
After Murong Che sent her away, he led Xiao Zhongzi and others to Lingyun Palace.
If you want to put on a show, you have to do the whole thing.
His most beloved concubine fell into the lake and caught a cold, so of course he had to visit her.
As soon as Murong Che entered Shuiyuexuan, Luoluo ran to Minghua Palace to inform Xue Qingyao.
"The Emperor couldn't wait to go to Lingyun Palace right after leaving court?"
Luoluo nodded vigorously, "Yes! I saw it clearly! The emperor's steps were hurried, and he looked very worried about Concubine Xue!"
"Got it. You continue to help me keep an eye on Shuiyuexuan."
Xue Qingyao said this and gave Biyu a look.
Biyu immediately took out a silver ingot and put it into Luoluo's hand.
Luoluo accepted the silver with a smile on her face, "Thank you, my beauty! I promise to keep a close eye on Shuiyuexuan!"
"You go down."
After Luluo left, Xue Qingyao turned to the maid beside her and instructed, "Biyu, prepare a bowl of ginseng soup for me. I'm going to Lingyun Palace to visit Concubine Xue."
Xue Youli fell ill and was definitely unable to serve the emperor. She couldn't miss this opportunity.
"Yes!"
Xue Qingyao and her servant arrived at the gate of Lingyun Palace and happened to meet Murong Che coming out of Shuiyuexuan.
Xue Qingyao rolled her eyes and quickly stepped forward, "Your Majesty!"
Murong Che raised his head, his gaze fixed on her, his brows knitted imperceptibly, "What are you doing here?"
Xue Qingyao quickly replied, "I entered the palace with Concubine Xue. We have a deep sisterly bond. I heard she caught a cold, so I personally made some ginseng soup for her..."
"No need."
Murong Che refused on Xue Youli's behalf before she could finish her words, "The imperial physician specifically instructed that Concubine Xue needs to rest for the next few days, so you shouldn't go in and disturb her."
Hearing this, Xue Qingyao's face froze slightly, then she forced a smile, "Your Majesty, I'll put down the ginseng soup and leave. I promise not to disturb Concubine Xue's rest."
"I don't want to repeat myself a second time."
Murong Che's eyes flashed with impatience, and he issued an order in front of her, "Xiao Zhongzi, pass on my decree. Until your mistress recovers, Shuiyuexuan will be closed to visitors. No one is allowed to disturb her rest."
"The slave obeys the order!"
After hearing what the man said, Xue Qingyao clenched her hands tightly around the lunch box.
She looked up at Murong Che, her eyes filled with sincerity and affection. "Your Majesty, while Concubine Xue is recovering from her illness, you should always have someone by your side who understands your needs and cares. I hope to be by your side and share your worries. I am lonely in the deep palace, and I do not expect to be the one in your heart. I only ask that Your Majesty give me a child so that I can have something to look forward to in the rest of my life."
She kept her attitude very humble. If Murong Che hadn't known that she had an affair with Murong Ye, he would have believed her.
Murong Che originally wanted to refuse her, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly changed his mind, "You go back and wait. After I finish dealing with state affairs, I will go to Minghua Palace tonight."
Since Xue Qingyao wanted to be favored, he fulfilled her wish and used this to alienate her relationship with Murong Ye.
Seeing Murong Che finally give in, Xue Qingyao was delighted from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Your Majesty! I will be waiting for your arrival tonight!"
Murong Che responded calmly and said to Wang Defa, "Go to Zicheng Palace."
"Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off."
Xue Qingyao watched Murong Che's procession go away, with a hint of ambition in her eyes.
She had waited for this day for too long. As long as Murong Che let her sleep with him tonight, she would be able to give birth to the emperor's eldest son in ten months.
She had it all planned out. First, she would use Murong Ye's power to kill Murong Che, get rid of the father and keep the son, and then she would rule the country from behind the scenes.
In this life, she not only has to hold the real power firmly in her own hands, but also has to use the forces in the court to weaken Murong Ye's power bit by bit.
By then, she will be the queen mother in name only, but in reality she will be the queen holding power!
As for Xue Youli, Xue Qingyao planned to spare her life, let her live a life worse than death, and watch her ascend to a high position with her own eyes.
At this moment, Xue Qingyao seemed to see herself as the future mother of the country.
She raised her red lips in triumph and instructed Biyu, "Continue to win over that maidservant from Jinghua Pavilion and give her some sweet treats. You'll need her in the future."
……
At the gate of Prince Kang's Mansion, a low-key and luxurious carriage slowly stopped.
Wang Defa personally escorted Xue Youli off the carriage and said, "Madam Xue, I will take you here."
At this time, Xue Youli had already changed back into her own clothes.
She took out a heavy purse from her waist and handed it over. "Thank you for troubling me all the way here, Eunuch Wang. Go and do your thing. I can go in by myself."
Wang Defa didn't take the purse, but bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is what a servant should do."
Just because of the emperor's obedient attitude towards Concubine Xue, maybe one day Concubine Xue will climb to the position that all the women in the harem want to sit in.
If he pays more attention to Concubine Xue now, his future will naturally be brighter and brighter.
Xue Youli generously stuffed the silver into his hand and said, "This is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Eunuch Wang."
"Then I thank the Majesty for the reward."
Xue Youli didn't say anything more, waved to him and entered Prince Kang's Mansion.
She said she was a good friend of Princess Qinghe. When the guards saw that the carriage that brought her was particularly magnificent, they knew that her identity was not ordinary.
They were about to report when Murong Nan's personal bodyguard Qingfeng immediately recognized Xue Youli and quickly invited him in.
"My lady, why are you here?"
"Of course I'm here to see your princess."
Xue Youli looked at Qingfeng and asked, "How is she?"
Qingfeng replied, "The princess woke up early today and is in good spirits. Erxi just delivered the medicine to her."
"Then I'll go see her."
Xue Youli had been to Prince Kang's Mansion and was familiar with everything here.
She walked through the corridor with ease and headed towards Chu Xinyue and Murong Nan's new home.
She walked to the door and found it was ajar. Just as she was about to push it open, she heard Murong Nan and Chu Xinyue arguing in the room.
"After all, you just don't trust me. You only trust your wonderful Second Brother! Fine, then go find your Second Brother and don't get in my way!"
"Ayue, I know you're upset, but the Ministry of Justice and the Grand Court have already investigated the missing child's case. It was all Censor Tang Renyi's doing! He's already committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment. Why are you still holding on to my Second Brother?"
"Why do you want me to hold on to him?"
Chu Xinyue had never seen such an unyielding person.
She pushed Murong Nan hard and said, "I don't want to see you now. Get out of my sight right now!"
Murong Nan tried to persuade her in every possible way, but seeing that she still had the same attitude, he became very angry.
But he didn't leave. Instead, he pointed to the medicine bowl on the bedside table and said, "You can ask me to leave, but you drink the medicine first."
"It's none of your business whether I take the medicine or not? I get annoyed just by looking at you! Get out of here!"
"I won't leave until you take the medicine."
"I won't drink until you leave!"
Seeing his impassive look, Chu Xinyue became even more furious. She grabbed the pillow behind her and threw it at him, "Even if I'm injured, it would be easy for me to hit you...hiss!"
She moved too much and pulled the wound, causing her to grimace in pain.
"Ayue!"
Murong Nan felt distressed and hurried forward to check her injuries.
Chu Xinyue was a stubborn person. The more he wanted to see, the more she refused to let him see.
Murong Nan was afraid that she would hurt herself again, so he simply hugged her and said, "I was wrong, please stop making trouble."
"Who made trouble with you? Don't touch me, Murong Nan. Since you only have Murong Ye in your heart and eyes, let's just get divorced. You can go and live with your second brother for the rest of your life! I don't want to... Ugh!"
Before she could finish her words, Murong Nan lowered his head and moved closer, swallowing the rest of her words.
