Chapter 11

  Inside the Zheng Palace, a loud crashing sound was immediately heard, accompanied by the emperor's furious roar, which finally awakened the silent and still imperial harem. The lights in each palace and courtyard were lit one after another. Even the eyes of those who had been hiding in the dark, watching the commotion with schadenfreude, flashed with shock. They had never seen the emperor so angry before.

  Xuan Yuan's lips slowly curled up into a cold smile, and his eyes also quickly flashed with a hint of satisfied amusement. He slowly walked out from behind the tree, without paying much attention to anything else, and directly entered the Zhengqian Palace.

  "Your Majesty, isn't this wedding night a bit too intense?" Standing outside the door, looking at the chaotic room, Xuan Yuan Chen laughed even more wildly.

  Upon seeing his appearance, the Emperor did not show much surprise. He had expected that with the hatred between Xuan Yuan Zhi and Murong Lie, he would naturally not ignore this matter. However, he also did not expect that Murong Lie would have such a big nerve, daring to play tricks on him like this.

  "Murong Lingshu is fake." There was not much concealment, nor did it need to be concealed. In the emperor's voice, there was not only uncontrollable anger, but also a kind of chilling ruthlessness that made one's hair stand on end.

  "Fake?" Xuan Yuan Chen slightly raised an eyebrow, and a hint of meaningful laughter flashed quickly in his eyes. "What? Hasn't the Emperor already verified it just now?"

  He thought that the emperor's current rage was because Murong Lingshuo was not a perfect body, and he had always determined that she was not Murong Lingshuo.

  "Verification?" The emperor looked at him in astonishment. "What else does Your Majesty need to verify? Is it or isn't, can't Your Majesty even recognize his own person?"

  Actually from the moment he entered the room and saw her for the first time, he already felt that she wasn't the one he wanted.

  Xuanyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of amusement, and his face also showed a fleeting expression of astonishment. "Your Majesty, didn't you just not sleep with her? Your Majesty, have you seen Murong Lingshu before?"

  "No, it is. W_?" The emperor's direct answer was simple and somewhat ambiguous, but Xuan Yuan Chen had already understood.

  Xuan Yuan Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he couldn't help but ask, "When did Your Majesty see Murong Lingxue?" Logically speaking, Murong Lingxue didn't have many opportunities to enter the palace. Even if she did, she would probably only go to the Empress Dowager's place, so the Emperor shouldn't have had a chance to see her, right?

  His Majesty's face turned gloomy for a moment, and his eyes flashed with deep thought. The anger on his face quickly dissipated, and he said lightly, "I only caught a glimpse of him once by chance from afar." Subconsciously, he didn't want to tell Xuan Yuan about this matter, fearing that even now, they were standing on the same front line.

  Upon hearing the Emperor's ambiguous response, someone as intelligent as him would naturally understand the Emperor's thoughts, and thus subtly echoed in agreement, "Oh, is that so?"

  His words paused slightly, and his gaze towards the emperor's eyes flashed with a hint of subtle laughter, saying half-truthfully, "The Emperor wouldn't have fallen in love at first sight with her, would he?"

  The emperor was so eager to let Murong Lingxue enter the palace, he was originally very curious, but if it was said that the emperor liked Murong Lingxue and let her enter the palace, that possibility seemed too small, also too ridiculous.

  The emperor's face suddenly sank, "Do I have a crush on her? Don't you think your words are too ridiculous?" A hint of sarcasm curled up at the corner of his lips, but a flicker of abnormality flashed across his eyes.

  "It's better if it isn't, Your Majesty should be well aware of the cunning and ruthlessness of that old fox Murong Lie. He is capable of doing anything, so it's entirely possible that he would send a fake Murong Lingshu into the palace today." Xuan Yuan Chen's lips curled up in a cold smile once again, as it was indeed very likely that the old fox Murong Lie would resort to such an outrageous trick to conceal the truth about Murong Lingshu.

  "Is it possible?" The emperor's eyebrows furrowed slightly, his eyes narrowing quickly as he said coldly, "Do you know something? Do you know where the real Murong Lingshu is?" Just now, he had only been speculating for a moment, and that speculation was something even he couldn't convince himself of. But hearing Xuan Yuan Chen say this, his heart moved involuntarily.

  Firstly, he really wanted to find that woman from that night. Secondly, he could also take this opportunity to teach Murong Lie a lesson.

  "If you want to know the truth, why not just go to Murong's residence and take a look?!" It turned out that the Emperor had met Murong Lingxue before. This time, Murong Lie was afraid...

  The emperor was slightly stunned, why go to Murong's mansion at this late hour?

  "What's wrong? Is Your Majesty still hesitant? Are you afraid of that old fox?" Xuan Yuan saw the emperor's hesitation and couldn't help but use a stimulating tone. At this moment, he didn't want to waste such a good opportunity.

  "I'm not afraid of him." The emperor said harshly, "But..., after all, as the ruler of a country, coming to an old minister's residence in the middle of the night, if it were really Murong Lingxue, that would be fine, but if I couldn't find her, I'm afraid Murong Lie would turn around and bite me.

  "Just, just, just," Xuan Yuan Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Just that Your Majesty still has some considerations, Your Majesty should think carefully, opportunities are not to be missed, and once lost, they will never come again. Your Majesty can simply find an excuse to reward the old minister who has devoted himself to the Xuan Yuan dynasty, although it's a bit unexpected, but it also makes others unable to say anything." Xuan Yuan Chen even thought of an excuse for the emperor, just wanting to make Murong Lie receive his due punishment.

  "When the time comes, if Murong Lingshu is in the Murong Manor, Your Majesty should have a plan. Even if Murong Lingshu is not currently in the Murong Manor, what can Murong Lie say?"

  The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind. He said harshly, "Alright, I'll sneak into the Murong Manor tonight. I want to see what that old fox is planning." As he spoke, his gaze shifted slightly towards Xuan Yuan Zhi, and a hint of a smile played on his lips. "In this kind of situation, I'm afraid you wouldn't let me invite you, but you'd be the first one to run away."

  "That's it, that's it," Xuan Yuan Cheng laughed without hiding his smile, and then followed closely behind the emperor to Mufeng House.
