My best friend is wearing a double body! Marry the emperor! Help me win the throne

Chapter 112 Concubine Rong’s Secret!

Xiao Anzi was extremely shocked, his eyes widening, "That poison was hidden on me by Bi Tao?"

Xue Youli glared at his incredulous expression and asked instead, "After you went to the pavilion, did Bitao specially use a handkerchief to wipe your hands?"

"……Yes."

Xiao Anzi didn't expect that his master knew such details so clearly.

He got his hands wet while trying to reach the rabbit lamp. Bitao not only wiped the water off his hands, but also accidentally poured it into his arms, and took the opportunity to touch his waist.

He thought Bi Tao was interested in him and felt quite smug about it.

It seems that Bitao stuffed the poison into him at that time.

"Bi Tao thought she had hidden the poison in you without anyone noticing, but she didn't expect that Princess Qinghe happened to see it. Princess Qinghe later asked you to serve her closely and pour her wine, just to remove the poison from your body."

After hearing Xue Youli's words, Xiao Anzi recalled every detail of the dinner, and was filled with remorse. He slapped himself several times on the spot, "Master, I almost caused a disaster. I deserve to die!"

Xue Youli glanced at him and said, "Xiao Zhongzi, tell Xiao Anzi, who does Bi Tao belong to?"

Xiao Zhongzi was called out by name and stepped forward to tell everyone what he had found out. "More than a month ago, after Bi Tao was promoted to a personal maid by Concubine Xue, her family bought a large house in the capital."

Xue Youli holds the Book of Heaven's Secrets, and it is easy for him to investigate anyone.

However, in order to make the investigation results more convincing, she directly handed over the investigation of Bitao to Xiao Zhongzi.

And Xiao Zhongzi did not disappoint her.

In addition, Xiao Zhongzi also found out that after Yan Niang's death, Cui Ru, the maid who had been with Yan Niang for most of her life, also escaped from the Xue Mansion.

Now he is hiding in the capital, helping Xue Qingyao manage the money Yan Niang earned in the brothel when she was young.

Xue Youli said coldly, "Xue Qingyao has been penalized since entering the palace. She doesn't have much money. The fact that she's willing to use her connections and money outside the palace shows she's really invested a lot this time."

Xiao Anzi knew very well that he was able to escape unscathed tonight thanks to his master's unparalleled wisdom.

He kowtowed vigorously to Xue Youli, his heart filled with genuine submission. "Master, you brought Xiao Zhongzi back to Shuiyuexuan from the cold palace and have always held him in high esteem. I was unconvinced before, but I shamelessly followed you to the dinner tonight because I wanted to share Xiao Zhongzi's favor! I was provoked and exploited by someone and almost lost my life. Fortunately, I didn't get involved with you! You saved my life tonight, and from now on, I will serve you with my life!"

At this point, he glanced at Xiao Zhongzi and said, "Also... I am also convinced by Xiao Zhongzi!"

Xue Youli always stopped when she was right. "Don't blame yourself. What happened tonight serves as a warning to us. If a young palace maid approaches you again, just don't let her beauty blind you!"

Xiao Anzi waved his hands quickly, "Beautiful women are like tigers. They not only bite but also eat people. This slave has decided to seal his heart and lock away his love. From now on, I will keep my distance from the little palace maid!"

Banxia looked at him, looking like he was afraid of ropes after being bitten once, and couldn't help laughing. "Xiao Anzi, you're always afraid of everything."

Xiao Pingzi beside him also smiled and said, "Sister Banxia, ​​you have been with the master for a long time, and now you can speak eloquently."

Banxia raised her chin, "Isn't that right? Our master is intelligent, and I've learned a lot from him, so naturally I've become knowledgeable!"

Xue Youli glanced at Xiao Anzi's swollen face and handed him a bottle of medicine. "Don't stress yourself out. Eat when you need to and sleep when you need to. We at Shuiyuexuan can't always be airtight. We have to leave some loopholes for others to attack."

Xiao Anzi said sincerely, "As long as the master needs me, I am willing to be the only vulnerability by your side!"

The master and his servants were reviewing the plan Xue Qingyao had set up tonight. At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside the hall, "The Emperor has arrived—"

The emperor arrived, and after everyone saluted, they retreated tacitly.

Xue Youli looked at the tall and handsome man in front of her and asked softly, "Your Majesty, have you found the real culprit behind the poisoning?"

Murong Che nodded slightly. "I ordered people to search Xue Qingyao and Qiao Wan's residences, and found the powder of the tortoise shell in the vase in Qiao Wan's residence."

Qiao Wan is the maiden name of Qiao Cairen.

Xue Youli was stunned when she heard him say, "Ms. Qiao has always been very low-key in the palace. I didn't expect she was harboring evil intentions."

[Oh no! I knew it would be like this! Since Xue Qingyao chose to cooperate with Qiao Cairen, she must have prepared all the evidence in advance. She has the aura of a heroine and is like an indestructible cockroach. It won't be so easy to be offline!]

Murong Che shouldn't be so stupid as to not realize that Xue Qingyao is the mastermind behind this whole thing, right?

The man listened to her inner complaints and said gently, "Deng Qing also found out that Caiyun, who was beside Concubine Rong, and Bitao, who was beside Xue Qingyao, were bribed by Qiao Wan. Qiao Wan seemed to be poisoning the little princess tonight, but she was actually coming for you."

Deng Qing is indeed quite capable, as he was able to investigate the causes and consequences of Murong Xi's poisoning in such a short time.

The people involved include Bitao and Caiyun.

In order to protect her entire family, Bi Tao sacrificed her life and attacked Qiao Cairen.

Caiyun is the deepest thorn that Murong Ye has buried in the palace.

In order to protect Xue Qingyao, the destined heroine, they all sacrificed themselves without hesitation.

Xue Qingyao was able to escape death time and time again because of that damn protagonist halo.

Xue Youli raised her eyes to meet Murong Che's and asked him softly, "Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with Concubine Xue?"

Murong Che had his own considerations in mind. Xue Qingyao was still useful, so he had to keep her as bait to catch the big fish.

"Since Lady Xue had nothing to do with the poisoning, she must be released from the Criminal Justice Department."

"Your Majesty is wise!" What the hell is wise!

Xue Youli was very unhappy that Xue Qingyao, the real mastermind behind the incident, was released.

However, it is understandable that Deng Qing could not find her, after all, he is just a minor character who drives the development of the plot.

In the entire novel world, the only two variables who can kill Xue Qingyao are probably her and Chu Xinyue.

Xue Youli is not in a hurry now. Even if Xue Qingyao can walk out of the Criminal Justice Department alive, there will be few people left around her who can be used.

After several months of bargaining, Xue Qingyao's good cards have been ruined, and the only one she can rely on now is Murong Ye.

Xue Youli was looking forward to a head-on confrontation with Murong Ye.

If she and Chu Xinyue want to spend the rest of their lives here in peace, their biggest opponent is actually the male protagonist.

……

Criminal Justice Department.

When Deng Qing dragged Caiyun and Bitao out for execution, he happened to meet Xue Qingyao who had been acquitted.

Xue Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly, and she took off the golden hairpin from her hair and gave it to Deng Qing, "Eunuch Deng, I want to say a few words to my maid. Please give me a favor."

Seeing her humble attitude, Deng Qing accepted the hairpin and said, "Lady Xue, I can only give you a cup of tea at most."

"Thank you, father-in-law!"

After Deng Qing left, Xue Qingyao walked up to Bitao and said, "Bitao, don't worry. I will ensure that your family enjoys wealth and glory for the rest of their lives."

Bi Tao kowtowed three times in her direction and said, "Thank you, Master. Your words are enough for me."

Xue Qingyao comforted her with a few words, then turned her gaze to look at Caiyun who was standing beside her without saying a word.

Her ultimate purpose in taking care of Deng Qing was not to make Bitao feel at ease before her death, but to see Caiyun.

Caiyun is Murong Ye's person. She has been lurking by Rong Qingyue's side for more than half a year and must know something that others don't know.

And she wanted to hear some secrets from Caiyun before she died.

Sure enough, Caiyun nodded at her.

Xue Qingyao took two steps towards her and asked, "Miss Caiyun, do you have any last words that I should pass on to your family?"

Caiyun was very straightforward. "No need. I have no parents, no parents, and I am all alone. I have no worries."

Xue Qingyao sighed and patted her arm. "Bi Tao is young, so please take care of her on her way to the underworld. I will also burn paper for you every year on your death anniversary."

"Then I would like to thank Miss Xue first." Caiyun quickly stuffed a note into Xue Qingyao's hand while bowing to her.

Xue Qingyao clutched the note calmly. At this moment, Deng Qing came back and said, "Lady Xue, you should leave now."

"it is good."

Xue Qingyao took one last look at Bitao and Caiyun before striding out of the Criminal Justice Department.

She only stayed in the cell for less than two hours, and after being released, she felt as if she had been in another world.

She had been preparing for tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet for a long time, and even asked Bitao to use her beauty to seduce Xiao Anzi from Shuiyuexuan.

She thought that she could definitely win this game by leveraging the people around Xue Youli.

It was not until she found the paper bag containing poison on her body that she suddenly realized that Xiao Anzi's flaw was deliberately left by Xue Youli in order to confuse her.

One wrong move and the whole game is lost.

She lost this round, badly.

Xue Qingyao figured out one thing in the Criminal Justice Department. Given her current situation, she must hold on to Murong Ye, her powerful backer.

Only by utilizing the power behind him can she have a chance to turn the tables.

Returning to Minghua Palace, Xue Qingyao opened the note in her hand.

There was only a short sentence written on the note.

After reading it, Xue Qingyao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This note contains Rong Qingyue's secret.

Once she confirms this secret, won't Rong Qingyue let her control her?
