Eagle-eyed and wolf-watching

Chapter 1485: Immorality!

Ever since An Miaoyi had trouble with her last time, Murong Xinyun realized that although she didn't want to cause trouble, she was in the depths of the world and could not be as aloof as she imagined!

In the following few days, Murong Xinyun also received letters from home. Although the content of the letters was not too straightforward and explicit, Murong Xinyun could clearly feel from the lines that his father and brother both hoped that he could gain the favor of His Majesty as soon as possible, so as to help his father and brother make progress in their careers!

If Murong Xinyun had seen such a letter before, she would have felt very disgusted and would have felt that her family was trading her for wealth and glory!
But after being bullied by An Miaoyi, Murong Xinyun felt more helpless, but in addition to being helpless, Murong Xinyun also somewhat resigned himself to his fate!
She also felt that whether she was willing or not, things were already a fait accompli. She was Ye Mingsheng's concubine, and unless Daqian was destroyed and Ye Mingsheng was killed, she would not be able to get rid of this identity!

So with the concerted efforts of Murong Qingwu and Ying'er, the little girl Murong Xinyun finally agreed and expressed her willingness to sleep with the emperor.

Although Murong Xinyun expressed her willingness to sleep with him due to her emotions at that time, she regained her composure after returning. As a virgin, she also felt a little scared...

Seeing her sister retreating, Murong Qingwu's eyes also showed a trace of disappointment. Seeing this, Ying'er beside her also said with some complaints:

"Didn't Concubine Yun already agree on this last time? Why are you changing your mind again?"

Murong Xinyun knew that he had broken his promise after hearing this, so he said with a guilty conscience:

"I'm not changing my mind! I'm just not ready yet!"

"Empress Yun, you are His Majesty's concubine. You have been preparing for more than half a year. How long will it take you?"

As soon as Murong Xinyun had no time to speak, Murong Qingwu angrily shouted:
"Ying'er, how can you talk to Xinyun? Why don't you apologize to Xinyun now?"

Ying Er, who was originally filled with righteous indignation, pouted her lips when she saw this, but she did not dare to disobey Murong Qingwu's order and said:
"I'm sorry, Concubine Yun! I said too much!"

Seeing this, Murong Xinyun said somewhat embarrassedly:
"No problem! No problem! You are also outspoken!"

At this time, Murong Qingwu also took over the conversation and said:

"Xinyun, if you really don't want to, sister won't force you. From today on, I won't talk about this matter anymore!"

After saying that, Murong Qingwu sat down on the sofa with a melancholy look on her face. Seeing this, Murong Xinyun stood there like a child who had made a mistake, at a loss as to what to do next!
At this time, Ying Er couldn't help but say:
"Yunpin, the reason why Her Majesty wants you to compete for her favor is not for Her Majesty herself, but for the honor and disgrace of the entire Murong family!"

"A new storm is brewing in the court. If the Murong family wants to make a difference, they must seize this opportunity..."

Hearing Ying Er say this, Murong Xinyun also spoke with some doubt:
"What does a new storm mean?"

"Zhuang Shanhe has been arrested, and his backer Li Jian will most likely not be able to escape either. This is a good opportunity for the Murong family!"

"In this layoff, Murong Hui performed very well in Anqing. If Li Jian falls, he will have a good chance of entering the core!"

"That's why the Queen wants you, Yunpin, to win her favor and lend a helping hand to Murong Anchashi!"

After hearing Ying'er say this, Murong Xinyun suddenly understood and understood all of Murong Qingwu's thoughts.

And Ying Er continued:
"Yunpin, you were born in the Murong family and your family has taken care of you and loved you since you were a child, but you can't be so selfish. Now is the time for you to contribute to the family!"

Murong Qingwu heard this and said in a deep voice:

"Ying'er! Shut up!"

Seeing this, Murong Xinyun became more and more conflicted. Although she was still somewhat reluctant in her heart, when she thought about the kindness of her family and the expectations of her father and brothers, Murong Xinyun made the final decision and said:
"Sister, I'm ready!"

Looking at her sister who looked determined and seemed ready to sacrifice herself, Murong Qingwu smiled bitterly, shook her head and said:

"Xinyun, forget it!"

Murong Xinyun heard this and said seriously:
"Sister, I'm really ready! I'm willing to serve you in bed!"

Murong Qingwu smiled bitterly and said:

“Xinyun, you don’t understand His Majesty! His Majesty doesn’t like to force others. Even if His Majesty likes you very much, seeing you act like you’re ready to sacrifice yourself will make His Majesty feel displeased…”

Murong Xinyun was also a little speechless. After a moment, she said a little aggrievedly:

"Sister, what should I do?"

Murong Qingwu preached solemnly:

"You must accept His Majesty from the bottom of your heart, and you must try to fall in love with His Majesty!"

Hearing her sister say this, Murong Xinyun's expression became very complicated. Although the recent series of contacts with Ye Mingsheng made her realize that the news she had heard outside the palace about Ye Mingsheng's cruelty and inhumanity were all false, on the contrary, Ye Mingsheng was a good emperor who worked hard and loved his people!
But this only made the girl respect Ye Mingsheng very much, and did not generate any love! Although Murong Xinyun was willing to sacrifice herself for the family and devote herself to Ye Mingsheng, facing her sister's request that she fall in love with Ye Mingsheng from the bottom of her heart, Murong Xinyun really resisted, and she felt that she really couldn't do it!
Even thinking about it made Murong Xinyun feel that it was immoral. After all, she was now nominally Ye Mingsheng's concubine and Ye Mingsheng's woman, but in fact, Murong Xinyun still regarded Ye Mingsheng as her brother-in-law!
Although there are many ambiguous plots between brother-in-law and sister-in-law in many operas and novels, when it comes to Murong Xinyun herself, this young girl still feels very immoral, and even has a feeling of LL!
Although Murong Xinyun did not speak at this time, Murong Qingwu still felt her sister's thoughts from her expression. She was extremely disappointed and could not help but sigh again...
In fact, Murong Qingwu had already said it very tactfully just now. In fact, in Murong Qingwu's opinion, Ye Mingsheng not only does not like to force others, but on the contrary, Ye Mingsheng prefers women to be more active. Murong Qingwu thinks that the kind of woman who is DF in bed and GF outside of the bed may be Ye Mingsheng's favorite!
Although Murong Qingwu knew this, she was born into a noble family and was still very proud. At the same time, she despised and disdained that kind of DF. So in order to win favor, Murong Qingwu once tried to force herself and tried to transform into the type that Ye Mingsheng liked!

But after trying several times, Murong Qingwu still couldn't accept it in her heart. This was actually an important reason why Murong Qingwu thought she was unpopular!
The reason why Murong Qingwu wants to send her sister to Ye Mingsheng's bed is that Murong Qingwu actually wants Murong Xinyun to complete what she has not completed!
But now it seems that her sister Murong Xinyun is even worse than herself. Not only is she unwilling to take the initiative, but she is also somewhat repulsed by Ye Mingsheng deep in her heart and is unwilling to accept Ye Mingsheng!

Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu couldn't help but recall the time when she had just decided to marry Ye Mingsheng!
At that time, Murong Qingwu witnessed with her own eyes that Ye Mingsheng led the Fengwu Army to rise from Liaoyang in just a few years, and showed a momentum to conquer the world. So at that time, although Murong Qingwu did not love Ye Mingsheng in her heart, she still admired Ye Mingsheng for his achievements...

At this time, it was rumored that Ye Mingsheng regarded her as his dream lover, so Murong Qingwu, although shy, also had some different ideas about Ye Mingsheng. At the same time, Murong Qingwu was getting older, and finally Murong Qingwu, who didn't want to become an old maid, made the decision to marry Ye Mingsheng!
Just when Murong Qingwu couldn't help but recall the situation back then, Ying Er suddenly said:
"Empress Yunpin! Why don't you try to treat His Majesty as Wang Shun?"

"Your Majesty is much older than Wang Shun, but in other aspects, you and Wang Shun are as good as each other. Your Majesty is such a great hero, and he is the dream lover of many women. Not to mention other things, how many women in this palace want to get into your Majesty's bed!"

Hearing Ying'er mention Wang Shun's name again, Murong Xinyun's expression changed, while Murong Qingwu's eyes changed slightly.

Even though Murong Qingwu made a promise to her sister at that time that she would let Wang Shun go, it was just a trick to appease Murong Xinyun and let her play the role of Daqian's concubine in the palace. In Murong Qingwu's view, Wang Shun was a disaster. Once he was dug out by someone with ulterior motives, not only Murong Xinyun would be finished, but the entire Murong family would also suffer!
So in order to solve the problem once and for all and prevent any harm, Murong Xinyun directly asked his subordinate Ada to kill Wang Shun, and then lied to his sister that Wang Shun had returned to Guanzhong!

Originally, this matter had passed, and even Murong Xinyun herself had somewhat forgotten about this former lover, but she never expected that Ying'er's sudden interruption would bring up this person again!
Thinking of this, Murong Qingwu felt that Ying'er was really talking too much, but in order to prevent her smart sister from noticing any clues, Murong Qingwu did not say anything.

At this moment, Murong Xinyu felt even more conflicted when she thought of her first love. She inevitably felt that if she accepted Ye Mingsheng, it would be a betrayal of her first love!
Moreover, this man was her brother-in-law, the father of her little nephew and niece. She was going to be on the same bed with her brother-in-law. This unspeakable sense of guilt was about to engulf the girl.

Seeing her sister about to cry, Murong Qingwu had no choice but to accept this reality and comforted Murong Xinyun by saying;

"Alright! If you can't accept it, forget it!"

Murong Xinyun sobbed and said:

"Sister! I'm sorry!"

"It's nothing! It's my incompetence. If I had Pei Zhixiu's ability and could firmly grasp His Majesty's heart, I wouldn't have to bother you now!"

After saying this, Murong Qingwu wiped the tears from her sister's face with pity.
･････････
･････････
While the Murong sisters were talking, someone knocked on the door of the imperial study. Ye Mingsheng, who was writing furiously, said in a deep voice without looking up:

"Enter!"

Following Ye Mingsheng's order, Ye Cheng, the Director of the Attendant Department, walked into the room and reported to Ye Mingsheng:

"Your Majesty, Li Jian requests to see you!"

Upon hearing this news, Ye Mingsheng raised his eyebrows and stopped writing with the brush in his hand. Then he looked up at Ye Cheng and said:

"Did he get any results from interrogating Zhuang Shanhe?"

Ye Cheng hesitated for a moment and said:
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Shanhe committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

"Committing suicide out of fear of crime? What does this mean?" Ye Mingsheng asked coldly:
Feeling the coldness in Ye Mingsheng's words, Ye Cheng was also a little afraid, and immediately said everything:

"Your Majesty, although Zhuang Shanhe was arrested last night, he brought poison from his home to the prison, and before the interrogation, Zhuang Shanhe committed suicide by taking poison!"

Ye Mingsheng's eyes became colder after hearing this, and after a long while he said in a deep voice:

"Li Jian, what do you want to report?"

"I don't know. Minister Li just has something important to report to Your Majesty, but he didn't tell me what it is!"

"Then let him in!"

"Yes!"

At Ye Mingsheng's order, Ye Cheng bowed and walked out of the room. A moment later, Li Jian walked into the imperial study and knelt down to Ye Mingsheng and said:

"Your humble servant Li Jian pays respect to Your Majesty!"

If it were any other time, Ye Mingsheng would have waved his hand to let Li Jian stand up, but this time Ye Mingsheng said nothing, just looked at Li Jian with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Jian's heart!
Li Jian didn't seem surprised by this situation. His expression didn't change at all and he didn't show any intention of standing up from his kneeling position.

As the atmosphere in the imperial study became more and more solemn, Ye Mingsheng slowly spoke:
"Now that things have come to this, Li Jian, do you have anything else to say?"

Although Li Jian had made some mental preparations before deciding to meet Ye Mingsheng today, but when he felt Ye Mingsheng's attitude at this moment, Li Jian's heart sank. He knew that if he couldn't handle it well at the moment, then what he would face next would be an abyss!

At this moment he must do something to gain Ye Mingsheng's forgiveness...
