How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

Yan Jixue asked, Xu Chengling had the intention of rebellion at the beginning, and he said it directly in front of her.

Even though what he said made sense, it didn't stop her from wanting to chop off his head.

Xu Chengling looked into the distance and replied calmly:

"She is actually a wise ruler. She delegated power in order to maintain the rule of the imperial power, and she also expanded the army to stabilize the country. She just used the wrong method."

"Such a good emperor who works for the country and the people, maybe she didn't do it perfectly, but she has tried her best, Dayan is slowly getting better, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, why should we rebel against her?"

Xu Chengling said in a deep voice that in fact, he had long lost the intention to rebel.

If he wanted to rebel at the beginning, it was because he was afraid of being beheaded by the female tyrant, but now that he knows her well enough, there is no need for it anymore.

At first he just wanted to survive, but now, what he wants is peace in the world, because only when the world is peaceful can he live a stable life with his wife and the people he loves.

For this goal, he would work so hard to assist the empress, eliminate dissidents, and maintain peace and stability in the country.

After hearing that Xu Chengling no longer wanted to rebel, Yan Jixue couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

One of the important reasons why she stayed with him was to get evidence of his conspiracy and bring him to justice.

But now, he no longer wanted to rebel. Yan Jixue suddenly lost the reason to stay with him and realized that she had been deceiving herself all along.

Yan Jixue turned around and looked at the man in front of her. She clenched her fists and asked him seriously:

"My husband, if... I asked you to marry the current empress, would you be willing?"

"puff!"

Her words were so shocking that Xu Chengling almost spit out what he said.

He had already married the empress's sister, so asking him to marry the empress was simply unthinkable.

Moreover, in history, it has always been the emperor who took concubines and married queens, but there has never been an emperor who married anyone!

If he were to marry, it would be more likely that he would marry the empress.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I can't marry the empress, but it's more like her marrying me."

Xu Chengling smacked his lips and shook his head.

"Pfft, do you want to enter the empress's harem and become a male concubine?"

Yan Jixue couldn't help but laugh at his answer, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was indeed no precedent in history of an emperor getting married.

But in the history of Dayan, there has never been a woman who succeeded to the throne. Isn't she just a precedent?

If that’s the case, what’s the harm in setting one more precedent?

Although Yan Jixue thought so, doing so was clearly against the patriarchal rules of the geese, and would inevitably be condemned by future generations.

"Madam, you don't want your sister to marry me too, do you?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but gasp when thinking about it. This is not a good thing to get married.

Yan Jixue's pretty face blushed slightly, and she said shyly:

"But, when I was little, I also said that I would marry the same person as my sister in the future."

Of course, these words were said by Ling'er herself. She was just using Ling'er's mouth to express her own thoughts.

"These are just childhood words. Children's words are innocent. Don't take them seriously."

Xu Chengling hurriedly shook his head. Even if the empress wanted to marry, he would not dare to marry her.

Dayan's kingdom belongs to the empress, and now he even dares to marry the empress. He dares not even think about what he will do in the future.

It was a rare reunion for the couple, so they chatted for a long time by the bridge.

As for marrying the empress, that is definitely impossible. First of all, Xu Chengling doesn't have the courage to do so.

Yan Jixue naturally didn't believe his nonsense. Didn't he already marry the empress of Dayan? He said he didn't have the courage. When he slept with her, she shouted that she was the empress, but he was never afraid.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

The two left the Imperial Garden, and because Yan Jixue still had things to deal with, she separated from him here.

As for Xu Chengling, he was taken out of the palace by another palace maid.

Walking in the huge harem, Xu Chengling kept thinking about what he had just said.

As soon as he left the harem, a palace maid suddenly walked towards him.

The maid bowed and saluted him, then said:

"Mr. Xiangguo, please come to Guanghan Palace. The Queen Mother invites you."

"Queen Mother?"

Xu Chengling was stunned. It was so late, what did the Queen Mother want to see him for?

As for the empress dowager, he had the impression that she was a very beautiful woman from the Western Regions, who exuded the charm of a mature woman, especially the black stockings on her legs, which left a deep impression on him to this day.

Xu Chengling thought about it, then nodded and followed the palace maid to Guanghan Palace.

Since the Queen Mother invited him, he dared not refuse and decided to go.

Arriving at Guanghan Palace, Xu Chengling walked in with ease.

Inside the Guanghan Palace, there was a dignified woman sitting on a rosewood chair. She had a beautiful face, a slender figure, and a majestic look on her face, which made people feel a great sense of pressure.

Upon seeing the Queen Mother, Xu Chengling immediately stepped forward, patted his sleeves, and greeted the Queen Mother:

"Xu Chengling sees the Queen Mother again."

At this time, Mo Xueyin couldn't help but put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said softly:

"Xu Xiangguo, what's the matter with seeing each other again?"

Then, the Queen Mother slowly said:

"Ai Jia, it seems like this is the first time I meet you."

Chapter 232: The Charm of Mo Xueyin

Faced with the Queen Mother's question, Xu Chengling was stunned.

Why did the Queen Mother say that this was the first time she met her?

Didn't he come to see her last time? And he went with the Empress.

"Queen Mother, don't you remember that last time I came with His Majesty to see you?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but say this, but at the same time, the doubts in his heart intensified.

As the Queen Mother, there was no need for her to lie to him. Could it be that the Queen Mother had really never met him?

Mo Xueyin tapped the finger guard on her hand a few times, looked at the man in front of her, and asked in a cold voice:

"I don't remember this. When did you come here with His Majesty?"

"After the grand court meeting, you met with me."

Xu Chengling replied in a deep voice.

Mo Xueyin frowned slightly, shook her head, and said:

"No, I was not in Guanghan Palace on the day of the grand court meeting."

Having said this, Xu Chengling instantly understood something and was stunned.

If, as the Queen Mother said, she was not in Guanghan Palace that day, then who was the Queen Mother that he and His Majesty met?

Between the empress dowager in front of him and the one he had met before, who is the real one and who is the fake one?

All these puzzles gave Xu Chengling a splitting headache.

So he asked the majestic woman in front of him:

"May I ask why you summoned me here?"

"I summoned you here because I wanted to meet Ling'er's consort and see what kind of person he is. Now that I have seen him with my own eyes, he is indeed handsome and very much to my liking."

Mo Xueyin said calmly, explaining the purpose of summoning Xu Chengling.

Then, Mo Xinghe narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at the man in front of her, and said with a slight smile:

"Prime Minister Xu, the Ai you met before, was it possible that she was pretending to be me?"

"should be."

Xu Chengling nodded, but he also couldn't believe the empress dowager in front of him.

Whether it is the empress dowager I met before or the empress dowager in front of me now, one of them must be fake.

It was very simple to judge whether they were real or fake. He just had to go up and grab the empress dowager's face and peel it hard a few times. If the fake skin came off, they were fake, otherwise they were real.

If he really did that, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the Guanghan Palace.

"Let's put aside the matter of the fake queen mother for now. Prime Minister Xu, I summoned you here because I need you to do something."

Mo Xueyin spoke slowly. She didn't seem to care much about the matter of the fake empress dowager and didn't continue to investigate further because she could probably guess who did it.

Moreover, Mo Xueyin also knew that the current empress of Dayan was not Yan Jixue, but Yan Qiaoling.

"Please tell me, Queen Mother. If I can do this, I will do it even if I die."

Xu Chengling said respectfully.

"Of course you can do this."

Mo Xueyin smiled slightly, blinked her purple eyes, raised the corners of her mouth, and looked at Xu Chengling.

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. At this moment, Mo Xueyin's purple eyes showed a faint pink light, and the pattern in the depths of her pupils slowly emerged in the shape of several petals.

Suddenly, Xu Chengling's eyes became empty and lifeless, completely sunk in it.

"Xu Chengling, look at me carefully."

Mo Xueyin's voice sounded softly, and her pink-purple eyes turned into vertical pupils, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, staring at the man in front of her, controlling his mind.

Mo Xueyin was born with a charming body, and no man could resist her charm. At the same time, she also had a pair of phantom eyes that could control the mind and make people see illusions.

"I'll tell you a secret. I'm still a virgin."

Her voice seems to be able to capture your heart, as if she is speaking into your ear.

"When the late emperor was alive, I would use magic on him every night to make him think that the person he saw was me, but in fact, that person was a palace maid that I had prepared for him in advance. The late emperor didn't know this secret until his death."

"As long as you can help me accomplish one thing, I will agree to one of your requests."

Mo Xueyin pressed her soft body against Xu Chengling's expression, with her long tongue sticking out of her mouth, and made extremely charming sounds in his ears.

But in fact, Mo Xueyin never left the place from beginning to end, and everything he saw was an illusion.

No man can resist her charm.

Xu Chengling stood there with lifeless eyes, listening to the bewitching voice coming from his ears, and he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Since you said you have the ability to seduce and deceived the late emperor for so many years, what if I complete the task and you do the same thing again?"

"..."

Mo Xueyin couldn't help but fall into silence, until she looked at Xu Chengling with lifeless eyes in front of her, and was sure that he had been bewitched by her.

Just as Xu Chengling said, if he completed the task, she could just do the same to him as she did to the late emperor.

But the problem is, now that he is bewitched by himself, why does he still have his own independent ideas?

This was the first time Mo Xueyin had seen such a situation.

"Xu Chengling, I want you to kill someone."

Mo Xueyin quickly calmed down and said to him.

"I am just a weak man, how dare I kill someone? If you want to kill someone, find a professional. I am a civilian, not a killer."

Xu Chengling shrugged and couldn't help but complain.

Now Mo Xueyin was even more confused. Why did he have his own ideas after being bewitched by her, and could even actively reject her request?

So, Mo Xueyin continued to use her charm technique, pointing at him and said:

"Say, you are a pig."
