OBS Chapter 177 Your Majesty, who are you thinking about?
Chapter 177 Your Majesty, who are you thinking about?
The deeper the physical contact between the two of them, the farther they can hear each other's thoughts!
After coming to this conclusion, Murong Che's gaze couldn't help but move downwards, and he glanced at Xue Youli's abdomen calmly.
If Xue Youli becomes pregnant with their child, will the distance between him and her to hear her thoughts become even greater?
Thinking of this, Murong Che couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.
I hope that one day in the future they can have children of their own.
If possible, he hopes to have a daughter as playful and cute as Xue Youli.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Xue Youli called out to the man several times. Seeing Murong Che didn't respond, she waved her hand in front of him, "Your Majesty, who are you thinking about? Why are you so obsessed with them?"
Murong Che came back to his senses, looked at Xue Youli's pretty face, smiled and reached out to pull her towards him, "Of course I was thinking about you."
Xue Youli snorted softly, "I am right in front of you, are you sure you are thinking about me?"
Murong Che pinched her cheek amusedly, "Besides you, who else can I have in my heart?"
Xue Youli curled her lips, "How would I know? After all, you have so many women in your harem, and I just promoted you to Concubine Xue this morning."
Murong Che listened to her sour tone, and the corners of his lips suddenly curled up. He deliberately called her by her position, "Is Concubine Xue jealous?"
[Jealous? I can't handle it! You have so many women in your harem, how can I handle them all?]
Xue Youli was very rude to him in her heart, but she knew very well that as the emperor's woman, you can be a little temperamental, but you must be virtuous and sensible.
If she answered that she was jealous, it would seem that she was stingy and intolerant.
If she answered that she was not jealous, it would seem that she didn't care that much about the emperor.
So, you have to strike a good balance.
She was brewing up her emotions in her heart, staring at the man with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, a hint of resentment hidden in her energetic eyes, "You used to call me Ali, but now that the new one is better than the old one, you call me Concubine Xue. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to bring you ginseng soup to nourish your body!"
Don’t mention it, you’ve got to say it, Murong Che just fell for her tricks.
Just by listening to her tone that was three parts sour and seven parts coquettish, he wanted to wave his hand and dismiss the entire harem for her.
In his eyes, the three thousand beauties in his harem were not as moving as her smile and frown.
"I know you've been wronged in this matter. I promise you that once I resolve the recent headaches, I'll definitely give you an explanation."
As an emperor, it was not easy for him to lower his posture and coax her.
Xue Youli thought that she had just cured this man's misogyny, so he shouldn't abandon her so quickly.
"Are you serious, Your Majesty?" Xue Youli's round almond-shaped eyes met the man's gaze, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Murong Che nodded and assured her, "Xuepin is so sensible, how could I lie to you? Of course I treat you with sincerity!"
Xue Youli was easy to coax. After the man said a few words, she smiled sweetly, "I knew that the emperor still had me in his heart."
As she spoke, she took out the soup from the lunch box and handed it to Murong Che. With a roll of her eyes, she spoke nonsense, "Your Majesty, I know you overworked last night, so I specially added tiger penis, sheep penis, deer penis, ox penis, horse penis and other kinds of penis to the ginseng soup. It's very nutritious. Would you like to have some?"
Murong Che's brows were twisted just by watching and listening to what she added to the ginseng soup.
"Ali, I've only been with you for one night, and you've already made me such a nourishing soup. Who are you looking down on?"
Xue Youli certainly didn't add anything else to the ginseng soup; she was just trying to piss him off. "Ah, Your Majesty, it's always a good idea to plan ahead. Don't take advantage of your youth and indulge in excess. You'll regret it when you get older. Fortunately, I know a little about medicine and can help Your Majesty with some conditioning. I promise that as long as Your Majesty insists on taking this personally customized tonic soup every day, you'll be full of energy!"
[I told you to be quiet last night but you didn't listen. If I don't scare you, who should I scare?]
Murong Che heard her little thoughts clearly, "No need, I have plenty of energy. If I continue to replenish myself, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it at night..."
When he said the last half of the sentence, he deliberately leaned close to Xue Youli's ear.
Xue Youli's skin felt the warm breath brought by his words, and her ears couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
She immediately stood up straight and put some distance between herself and the man.
"Well, my tonic soup has been delivered, so I won't disturb His Majesty from handling government affairs."
"Don't go. Here is a secret letter from your second brother. Come and take a look."
When Murong Che handled state affairs, he did not treat her as an outsider at all, and directly pushed the secret letter sent by Xue Wuyang from Lingzhou in front of Xue Youli.
Xue Youli hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and carefully read Xue Wuyang's secret letter.
The letter said that Xue Wuyang discovered in Lingzhou that the prefect of Lingzhou not only bought and sold official positions and appointed people based on personal connections, but also secretly accepted bribes and extorted money from the people.
Most of the ill-gotten gains he made went into Murong Ye's pocket.
Xue Wuyang reported this matter to Murong Che in order to ask him how to deal with Prefect Xue.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Xue Youli looked up at Murong Che and said, "Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, the prefect Xue of Lingzhou should be the father of Concubine Xue, right?"
[Prefect Xue is Murong Ye's man. Murong Ye had reached a consensus with Prefect Xue before creating a fake identity for Xue Qingyao as the prefect's daughter.]
Now that Magistrate Xue has committed so many crimes, it's perfectly possible to punish him. As long as Magistrate Xue is convicted, Xue Qingyao will be the daughter of a culprit. Before doing anything, she must carefully consider whether there is anyone who can cover for her and clean up the mess if she fails.
Murong Che narrowed his peach blossom eyes and snorted coldly, "That's right, I just promoted Concubine Xue to a higher rank, and her father gave me such a big surprise!"
"Then how does the Emperor intend to deal with Magistrate Xue?"
"I am going to send an order to Xue Huaiyuan to go to Lingzhou on my behalf and thoroughly investigate the Lingzhou prefect!"
Xue Youli knew that since her second brother had written a secret letter back, he must have already collected evidence of Magistrate Xue's crimes. Magistrate Xue would probably not be able to escape this time!
Xue Wuyang would not investigate Prefect Xue for no reason. He must have received instructions from Murong Che before leaving Beijing.
Not only did Magistrate Xue abuse his power, he also defected to Murong Ye. He will surely die an humiliating death due to his multiple crimes.
Once he fell, Xue Qingyao lost her mother's family as a support and was forced to take sides.
Or she could completely cling to Murong Che's thigh and be his concubine Xue in the harem.
Or he is waiting for an opportunity to attack Murong Che and cooperate with Murong Ye from inside and outside.
Xue Youli also wanted to see what choice this woman would make.
After receiving the imperial edict from Murong Che, Xue Huaiyuan led the officials to Lingzhou at full speed that day.
Prefect Xue was thrown into prison and the Xue family in Lingzhou was confiscated.
The news quickly spread back to the capital.
Xue Qingyao had just been promoted and hadn't been proud for a few days when she learned that her adoptive father had fallen.
She was angry, scared and aggrieved.
After she entered the palace, she had not enjoyed any convenience brought to her by Magistrate Xue. Now that Magistrate Xue had gotten into trouble, if the emperor got angry with her, she might not be able to escape unscathed.
Biyu was also very anxious and angry, "Master, what should we do now?"
Xue Qingyao was more anxious than her, but she could only try to calm herself down.
She looked at Biyu's panic and shouted angrily, "Why are you panicking? Prepare me a set of plain clothes right now. The plainer the better. I need to see the Emperor!"
