How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

"Oh? Senior sister, are you serious? Are you loyal to His Majesty Ji Xue?"

"No second thoughts."

"Then Senior Sister, you are also... he is the husband of Her Majesty Ji Xue."

"Junior sister, don't mention this matter again."

Xia Chan's face changed slightly, and she shouted to stop the woman in yellow in front of her, but her heart was already in turmoil.

A sword light flashed, Xia Chan drew out the Blood-Green Sword in his hand, and slashed at Xue Yuan in front of him.

She was anxious! She was anxious!

Xue Yuan smiled slightly, and instantly drew out the Shuihan sword in her hand. The swords crossed and the two fought again.

At the same time, in the bedroom.

Yan Qiaoling blinked her bright eyes, leaned her soft body towards her sister beside her, gently took her arm, and asked in a tender voice:

"Sister, Ling'er's good sister, are you listening?"

"I'm listening. What do you want to ask, Ling'er?"

Yan Jixue nodded gently, touched Ling'er's hair with her hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Good sister, can you tell Ling'er what you do with Xu Lang every night?"

Yan Qiaoling gently took her sister's arm and asked coquettishly in her ear.

When asked this question, Yan Jixue's beautiful face turned red, and the bad things that man had done to her emerged in her mind. They were really too bad.

Besides, how could she have the nerve to tell Ling'er about this kind of thing? It was so embarrassing.

"Ah, Ling'er, how can I tell you about this? That guy is so bad."

Yan Jixue's pretty face was a little hot, and she really didn't know how to start. Even if they were sisters, it was too embarrassing to talk about such things.

"Sister, good sister, just tell me. If he bullies you, Ling'er will definitely bully you back."

Ling'er gently shook her sister's slender hand and asked in a thorough manner.

Yan Jixue was somewhat helpless because of her pestering. She couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Well, let's not talk about it. He is a man who only knows how to tell lies to deceive people. My sister was deceived by him. Ling'er, you have to be careful of him. He, he actually made me..."

Then, Yan Jixue told Ling'er that Xu Chengling asked her to pose in an embarrassing position on the bed. Anyway, Ling'er would not be able to escape in the future.

"Ah, Xu Lang actually asked my sister to do this?"

Yan Qiaoling was startled and could not help but cover her mouth. She did not expect Xu Lang to let her sister pose in that way. It was simply...

Well done!

She had never seen her sister look so embarrassed. In her impression, her sister had always been a strong woman. How could she accept such a thing?

She didn't know what kind of magic potion Xu Lang had given her sister in bed to make her agree to such a shameful thing, but when she saw her sister being humiliated, she felt happy in her heart.

"It would be better if he died."

Yan Jixue bit her lower lip and spoke through gritted teeth.

"I'm afraid you can't bear to part with it, sister."

Yan Qiaoling joked, seeing how reluctant her sister looked, how could she bear to let her lover die.

"Ling'er, don't make fun of your sister."

Yan Jixue was a little angry at Ling'er's teasing, so she raised her slender hand and gently patted her pretty buttocks.

She couldn't help but suddenly remember what Xu Chengling said to her before he left, that if she didn't come back, he would beat her butt to pieces.

When she thought of this, Yan Jixue couldn't help but feel a dull pain in her pretty buttocks. Her angel-like face seemed to be dripping with blood. She couldn't help but gently bite her scarlet lips.

"He dares!"

But in fact, Yan Jixue had not yet decided whether to go to meet him. As the agreed date was getting closer, she began to get anxious.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Qiaoling was lying on the soft big bed, wearing only a thin blue nightgown. She was no longer sleeping with her sister.

"Still thinking about him?"

"I'm not thinking about him at all. Why should I think about him? He's just a big pig's hoof."

Yan Jixue couldn't help but say, she looked at Ling'er who was already lying on the bed, sighed softly, and lay down too, sleeping with Ling'er.

After a long time, neither of them fell asleep, and they were both thinking about him.

"Ling'er, what do you think is so good about him that makes you like him so much?"

Yan Jixue looked at the familiar ceiling above her head. Suddenly, the ceiling, which was so familiar to her, gradually became unfamiliar.

"He's good in every way. You don't need any reason to like someone."

Yan Qiaoling replied indifferently that she couldn't explain why she liked Xu Lang.

She only knew that she would think about him and his good points every day, and if anyone wanted to hurt him, she would definitely be the first to disagree.

"What about you, sister? Don't you like him?"

"I, like... Impossible, he is a traitor. I just... Stay by his side to prevent him from rebelling at any time."

Yan Jixue shook her head and made an excuse for herself. How could she fall in love with a traitor? It was impossible.

But even she herself felt that this excuse was a bit far-fetched. She was the empress, so why should she be afraid of his rebellion? Wouldn't it be better to just arrest him and punish him?

"Sister, let me make it clear first. Ling'er is only handing Xu Lang over to you temporarily, but sooner or later, Ling'er will take Xu Lang back with her own hands."

Yan Qiaoling told her sister that from now on, she was not only her sister, but also her competitor.

"By the way, sister, you still owe Ling'er."

"What do you owe me?"

"Of course it is. It's that kind of thing. Ling'er must let him do it to you as many times as he has done it to you. Not once less!"

"..."

Yan Jixue began to mourn for Xu Chengling in her heart, not knowing whether he could bear it.

But what else could he do? He owed Ling'er all this and would have to pay it back sooner or later.

Chapter 95 The Little Princess

The time for the grand court meeting is getting closer.

Officials from some areas far away from the imperial palace have already begun to set off for Dayan's capital.

For those who lived closer to the capital, they only had to get up early on the day of the grand court meeting.

The time for the grand court meeting is the hour of Mao, which means that officials who are closer to the capital have to set off before dawn.

However, some officials were unable to attend this annual grand court meeting due to special reasons.

For example, at Prince Yu’s Mansion, it was said that Prince Yu had caught a severe cold recently and was unable to attend.

His Majesty, who learned about this, expressed great concern and said, "Damn it, you're not dead yet?"

It has to be said that Prince Yu was very lucky. When he was competing with other brothers for the throne, Prince Yu was in danger more than once, but he managed to survive by luck.

This time, His Majesty even sent out the Plum Blossom Guards, and after finally getting a chance, they still failed to get rid of him.

After this assassination attempt, Prince Yu will only become more cautious, and it will be difficult to attack him again.

Due to the suppression by Your Majesty during this period, coupled with the secret activities of the Plum Blossom Guards, powerful officials were arrested on various charges, and the power in the hands of the officials was taken over by the imperial power.

This set of combined punches requires the presence of another person.

This person is Dayan’s new prime minister, Xu Chengling.

Relying on the intelligence organization left by the old prime minister, Xu Chengling collected evidence of officials' crimes everywhere, and then handed it over to His Majesty, using His Majesty's hand to get rid of his opponents.

He did this naturally because he wanted to swear allegiance to His Majesty and tell His Majesty that he was not a traitor.

As long as he gains His Majesty's trust and does not fall for His Majesty, Xu Chengling can survive in the original story.

But Xu Chengling also left himself a way out. If the emperor did not trust him and wanted to execute him, he could only cling to the emperor's sister and use the power in his hands to help her take the throne.

Moreover, Xu Chengling discovered that the current emperor was suddenly no longer incompetent. Not only did he gradually take back the power he had originally given up, but he also used tough measures to implement various policies that benefited the country and the people.

In particular, all the suggestions he put forward were actually adopted by His Majesty.

But soon, Xu Chengling realized a problem, that is, since ancient times, the power of the emperor and the power of the prime minister have been incompatible. Once the power of the emperor is strong, it means the weakening of the power of the prime minister.

As the saying goes, when the rabbit dies, the dog is cooked; when the bird is dead, the bow is put away. He must understand this principle.

Once Your Majesty has dealt with other powerful ministers, he will be of no use to you.

It's like a blind person, when he regains his sight, the first thing he throws away is his crutch, even if this crutch has helped him for a long time.

By then, the person His Majesty most wants to get rid of will probably be himself.

For some reason, Xu Chengling began to panic.

As the saying goes, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. He can't rebel if he wants to, and he can't not rebel if he doesn't want to.

……

East Market, Xueyuefang.

This is one of the most prosperous areas in the capital, and also the largest place for fireworks in the capital.

It was getting close to evening and the area around Xueyuefang was gradually becoming lively, with dignitaries dressed in expensive clothes appearing here one after another.

There are many married people among them, but how can wild flowers be as fragrant as domestic flowers? What's more, the girls in the Flower Photo Studio are all beautiful and speak sweetly, so they like it there very much.

For example, now, a young man walked out of Huaying Studio, and his handsome appearance made many girls in Huaying Studio fall in love with him.

But no one knew that this young man had already married a beautiful wife, who was as beautiful as a fairy and was totally incomparable to these worldly women.

But even with such a beautiful wife, he still often appears in Huaying Tower, which makes people wonder if he is a henpecked husband.

Since his wife wouldn't let him go to bed, he had no choice but to come to the Huaying Tower to relieve his loneliness.

At this time, the young man who walked out of Huaying Building walked through the crowd and came to a quiet place.

At this time, two graceful figures landed beside him and said respectively:

"Lord."

"master."

The young man who was called Lord and Master was none other than Xu Chengling.

He came to Huaying Tower, met with the brothel owner, and got the recently collected intelligence from the brothel owner.

In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, Xu Chengling ordered a girl from Huayinglou. It must be said that this girl from Huayinglou was multi-talented and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

So he and the girl played chess in the room... for an hour.

What made Xu Chengling most depressed was that he couldn't beat his opponent.

It was estimated that Xu Chengling was the only one who spent money to come to Huayinglou to play chess with the girls, and the key point was that he couldn't win.

I heard from the brothel owner that a new courtesan came to Huayinglou recently. She came from Izumo Province and was as beautiful as a fairy. She only sells her art and not her body.

If there was a chance, Xu Chengling would like to meet the Izumo country's courtesan and hear if she would utter the word "Sakura".

"Let's go back."

Xu Chengling said to Tong Xin and Mo Li, and then took them towards the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened and it was approaching dusk. People were coming and going in front of the teahouse.

The setting sun cast a faint fragrance in the corner of the teahouse. The distant sky was dyed with a few reddish glows. The passers-by walked in a hurry and did not stop in front of the teahouse for too long.

"It's so beautiful, like fire burning the clouds."

Mo Li looked up at the setting sun and used her little head to try to come up with this sentence. It can’t be said that it was very similar, but it could be said that it was very vivid and vivid.

"The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk."

Xu Chengling looked at the beautiful scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel emotional. The sunset was indeed very beautiful, but it was already dusk.
