Chapter 408 The Crown Prince is Unvirtuous
Yu Qingli was a little worried. She didn't fully understand the current situation, but she didn't know where to start. She became annoyed for a while.
In the room, Xiluo had already prepared the soup and brought it to Yu Qingli, but she seemed to have no appetite.
"Miss, are you worried about what happened in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace?"
"You already know?" Yu Qingli looked up and asked Xiluo.
Xiluo nodded slightly. "In fact, I was just about to report this matter to the young lady. I was at the scene when the incident happened, but I didn't dare to make it public for fear of being discovered by the two princes' secret guards."
Yu Qingli's eyes lit up. This was really great. She stepped forward and held Xiluo's hand. "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Xiluo thought about it and decided to start from the beginning. It turned out that after Murong Feng sent Xiluo away, Xiluo originally planned to return to Yu Qingli, but her intuition told her that something was wrong, so she did not go back, but quietly followed Murong Feng and the others into the East Palace. After that, she naturally saw everything that happened.
Xiluo told Yu Qingli everything that happened at that time. Yu Qingli then fell into deep thought. Meihong drank the tea on the table, and after entering the hall, the tea was served to Meihong by Murong Feng himself.
Thinking about it this way, Murong Feng must have put some medicine in the tea, which made Mei Hong hallucinate, and that's why she mistook the prince who entered the hall for Murong Feng, and grabbed the prince's sleeve. As for why she recognized Murong Feng later, it was probably because something made the effect of the medicine disappear, and there must have been some medicine in the tea that could cause women to have miscarriages.
Yu Qingli stood up. She vaguely remembered that there was such a medicine recorded in the "Secret Techniques of the Palace" that Murong Yan gave her, but because of its extremely strong medicinal properties, it was listed as a banned drug.
Afterwards, after Yu Qingli checked the book, she became more certain of her judgment. Murong Feng must have used the drug called Zuimeng. The antidote for this drug is blood, and it is very deadly to pregnant women. Just a tiny amount can definitely cause the child to die in the womb.
Yu Qingli clenched her fists, what a cruel move!
However, what Mei Hong has today is her retribution. In her previous life, she killed her own child, and in this life, she has to taste the pain of losing her own child.
At this point, Yu Qingli had basically figured out the situation at that time, but now it seemed that Murong Feng's plan was very thorough, and no matter how he did it, he had succeeded, and that was a fact.
Yu Qingli could conclude that there would be another bloody storm in the palace tomorrow morning.
Yu Qingli put down the book in her hand, told Xiluo to prepare a cloak, and walked towards Anle Palace. In this matter, she needed to find an ally.
Passing through the dense flowers, Yu Qingli and Xiluo entered Anle Palace. When the palace steward saw Yu Qingli coming, he was stunned at first, and then went to inform her.
Not long after, Murong Yanhui came out of the room with a smile on his face. He seemed to have just come out of the shower, his hair was still wet and scattered on his shoulders, his clothes were not tidied up, and his half-open chest vaguely revealed his strong chest and sexy collarbone, coupled with his charming face. Yu Qingli felt uncomfortable all over and her ears began to turn red.
Murong Yanhui dismissed her attendants, her narrow eyes filled with tenderness as she reached out to hold Yu Qingli's slender waist. "Lili, you finally took the initiative to come to me. I'm so happy!"
Yu Qingli's face darkened. She pushed away Murong Yanhui's big hand and said seriously, "I have something important to do. Put on your clothes first!"
Murong Yanhui felt a little disappointed. He had sacrificed so much beauty, yet someone remained unmoved. Should he say his standards were too high, or had his cultivation level regressed? In the past, he could just wave his finger and a large group of women would flock to him.
As expected, it’s his Lili!
Murong Yanhui, feeling three parts proud, three parts conflicted, and three parts disappointed, reached out to straighten her collar, leaned back casually on the couch, and let her beautiful long hair hang on the back of the chair to dry.
Yu Qingli glanced at him. How could this man's hair be so beautiful? Was it true that evildoers were so beautiful that they could defy the heavens?
"Aren't you going to dry it off?"
After looking at it for a long time, Yu Qingli finally couldn't help but ask, but Murong Yanhui sighed, "Oh, I'm too lazy to bother. Anyway, it will be done after being left alone for a long time."
Yu Qingli frowned, and finally felt that she could no longer bear the sight of her wet hair dripping down. She picked up a dry towel from the washstand next to her, covered Murong Yanhui's head with it, and gently wiped him, while muttering to herself in her heart that she was definitely not worried that Murong Yanhui would catch a cold from the wind.
Murong Yanhui was flattered, his eyes filled with a deep smile. Could this be considered a happy ending after all the hardship? Lili finally took the initiative to care about him!
"Ahem..." Yu Qingli coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere before speaking, "Actually, I came to you because of the prince's matter."
"I know." Murong Yanhui's eyes were burning, which made Yu Qingli blush a little. She directly covered Murong Yanhui's eyes with the towel in her hand, causing him to laugh.
Yu Qingli straightened her mind and said, "This is a trap set by Murong Feng, and judging from the current situation, this is probably just the beginning."
"I've heard about the whole process. I'm sure Murong Feng will prepare sufficient evidence to prove that Mei Hong and the Crown Prince are having an affair."
"I think so too. Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately created an ambiguous relationship between the two and even let Liu Caiyi misunderstand the matter."
Murong Yan laughed back, "It seems that Murong Feng really put a lot of thought into this!"
Yu Qingli sneered. Murong Feng was naturally willing to risk everything for his own future. It was a pity that he met her, and this plan was doomed to fail!
Murong Yanhui seemed to sense Yu Qingli's emotions, and reached out to press her fingers covering his hair. Their fingertips touched, feeling warm. Yu Qingli subconsciously wanted to pull her hand away, but Murong Yanhui held it tightly. If it weren't for the towel covering Murong Yanhui's eyes, Yu Qingli would have felt even more embarrassed.
They were clearly discussing serious matters, so why was the situation so strange now?
Murong Yan took the towel off her face, sat up straight, and with a force of her hands, she pulled Yu Qingli onto the couch. Then she sighed, "Lili, I just want to get closer to you. Let's talk business, okay?"
Yu Qingli nodded and did not reject Murong Yanhui's hand this time. Her hands were completely wrapped in those warm big hands, and even her heart felt warm. The saying "the ten fingers are connected to the heart" is really true.
"Lili, what are your plans next?"
"It's very simple. Since Murong Feng has prepared evidence, why can't we prepare one too?"
"That makes sense. Leave this matter to me."
"I originally wanted to hand this matter over to you. After all, I was present when the incident occurred, and I'm afraid the Crown Prince and his men are quite wary of me. It would be much better for you to overturn the verdict for him. However, if you do this, I'm afraid your traditionally neutral position will be shaken."
Murong Yanhui smiled nonchalantly, "Actually, I never intended to remain neutral. Plus, my brother's suspicion of me has never ceased, so you don't need to worry about me."
Yu Qingli felt relieved at this point. She really didn't want Murong Yanhui to be in danger just to save the prince.
The two of them designed the plan in detail before Yu Qingli left Anle Palace.
As soon as Yu Qingli left, Qingluan came over and said that the Queen Mother wanted to see her.
Murong Yanhui frowned. Ever since he learned that the Queen Mother had colluded with the Persian Prince to kidnap Yu Qingli, he began to feel a little disappointed with his mother.
So when Qingluan came over, Murong Yanhui simply half-lay on the soft couch and replied lazily, "The king is not feeling well today. I will go to the Queen Mother's place the next day."
Qing Luan was a little disappointed. She had thought that Murong Yanhui would at least call her Aunt Qing, but judging from Murong Yanhui's current attitude, he was really angry, otherwise he would not have used such a lame excuse to reject her.
Qing Luan followed his words and said, "Since Your Highness is feeling unwell, you should seek medical attention immediately. The Queen Mother is also seeing a doctor, so why don't you go and see her too?"
"No need. I've already seen a doctor. Now I just need to rest. It's getting late. Qingluan, you should go back first."
Qing Luan sighed and then knelt down in front of Murong Yanhui's couch, which surprised Murong Yanhui. She quickly sat up and asked, "Aunt Qing, what are you doing?"
"I haven't done what the master asked me to do, so I can only punish myself. Moreover, the prince is unwell and I failed to take good care of him. I deserve to be punished. I will kneel here. When the prince goes to see the master, I will get up."
"you!"
Murong Yanhui was furious. He always thought he had a good temper, but this time, he was really angry.
Murong Yanhui's face turned cold as he lifted the blanket covering his legs, got up from the couch, and looked down at Qingluan. "Lead the way, but from today on, don't let me see you again!"
Qingluan smiled bitterly. She didn't want this to happen either, but her master was the Queen Mother. Besides, everything the Queen Mother did was for the sake of His Highness, although Prince Yan might not like this arrangement.
But how many people in this palace could do as they pleased? One careless move could lead to their death. Moreover, there was no turning back. The real Queen Mother had been imprisoned. If this were to become known, they wouldn't be the only ones to perish.
Qingluan led the way, Murong Yanhui following closely behind, his face expressionless. From the initial excitement he had felt when he saw his mother to the current irritation, Murong Yanhui's heart was really in turmoil. She was obviously his closest person, so why did she have to make things so difficult for him? It seemed that he should have a good talk with his mother.
