After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 404: Proud Mei Hong

Yu Qingli tucked the jade fan into her sleeve and said seriously, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

Murong Yanhui frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously, "Although I don't know what you think, Lili, but it is indeed inappropriate for you to bring that servant back to the palace."

"I have my own plans for this matter."

"Just be aware of this. That woman is no pushover. I'm afraid she was involved in your kidnapping last time."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. "I've already guessed this! In fact, I originally planned to let her fend for herself outside the palace, but someone deliberately exposed my whereabouts and let her reappear in front of me. If I backed down, wouldn't I be ungrateful to others' kindness?"

Murong Yanhui sighed softly, reached out and took Yu Qingli's hand, squeezed it hard, and solemnly warned her, "Lili, no matter what you do, remember to protect yourself."

Yu Qingli felt warm in her heart, and her eyes became softer, "I understand."

Murong Yanhui wanted to say something, but Yu Qingli quickly pulled her hand away and turned around in a panic, "I have something else to do. I'll be leaving first."

The moment he turned around, Murong Yanhui obviously saw Yu Qingli's red ears, and his heart moved, Lili, are you shy?

Yu Qingli trotted all the way back to Ju'an Palace, and only then did her pounding heart and red, burning ears stop. Xiaoliu and Xiluo were waiting for her in the palace, and they seemed to have a lot to say.

"Miss, I really don't understand why you brought Mei Hong back? She betrayed you like this, even if she was beaten to death outside the palace, she deserved it." Xiao Liu was very angry. Mei Hong had bad intentions and was an eyesore.

Before Yu Qingli could answer, a rather gloomy voice sounded from the doorway, "Yes, I am also waiting for your explanation, Qingli!"

Yu Qingli was shocked and glanced at Xiluo. Xiluo was also obviously stunned. She didn't even notice that the eldest prince was coming. The eldest prince's skills might have improved again. This was not good news.

Yu Qingli was very calm. She told Xiluo and Xiaoliu to wait outside the door and let her talk to Murong Feng alone.

"Your Highness, please sit down and talk."

Yu Qingli sat down at the table. Murong Feng suppressed the doubts and anger in his heart and sat down opposite her. He wanted to listen to what this woman had to say to him.

Yu Qingli lowered her brows, her long hair draped softly behind her, revealing a small part of her white neck. She looked quiet and relaxed, with a hint of gentleness, which made it difficult for people to say anything unpleasant.

"Your Highness, it is true that I was not careful today. However, I was anxious at the moment, so I brought Meihong to see the Queen Mother. Moreover, I thought Your Highness liked Meihong."

"Acting on your own!" Murong Feng snorted coldly, but his tone was a little better than when he came.

Come to think of it, Yu Qingli, a little girl, would inevitably feel panicked when encountering such a thing. There was probably no other way except to ask for help. She would definitely go to find her mother, but her father happened to be there today. I don't think she could have predicted that her father would be in Chaofeng Palace.

In addition, the matter of Mei Hong was indeed inappropriate on his part, so after thinking about it, Murong Feng's anger eased a little. However, Yu Qingli's unauthorized suggestion that he take Mei Hong in was simply a slap in his face.

Since when did Murong Feng have to listen to a woman's orders?

Yu Qingli glanced up at Murong Feng and continued, "I know what Your Highness is thinking. The Prince's party has been making trouble for you recently, and I think Your Highness must be in a very difficult situation. If a scandal were to spread at this time, I'm afraid it would be very disadvantageous to Your Highness."

"I'm glad to know!" Murong Feng glared at Yu Qingli fiercely to show his dissatisfaction.

Yu Qingli curled her lips into a smile, and the prey was about to take the bait.

"Your Highness, don't you want to get out of your current predicament?"

"What do you mean? Do you have any idea?"

Yu Qingli remained silent. She picked up the flower tea that Xiluo and the others had prepared on the table and took a sip. The fragrance immediately lingered on her lips and teeth. Her red lips were particularly attractive, like a dazzling poppy in this quiet room.

"Your Highness, there is a solution, but I'm worried that Your Highness will not be willing to do it..."

"Reluctant? Your Highness, I don't know what else I can't bear to part with. Tell me what I can and can't bear to part with. It's up to me to decide."

"That's true. In that case, it's okay to tell His Highness. If it doesn't work, just treat it as a joke to pass the time." Yu Qingli spoke softly, but the next plan made Murong Feng completely change his mood. It was not easy to go from anger to joy.

Xiluo and the others who had been waiting outside did not hear what the two people in the room said. They only heard Murong Feng say in surprise, "Lili, with a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for?"

I guess the young lady must have come up with some good idea that allowed the eldest prince to erase all his previous resentment.

Murong Feng and Yu Qingli had a secret conversation in the room for nearly an hour before he walked out with a happy look on his face. Only after he left did Xiluo and the others walk in. They saw Yu Qingli sitting at the table with a thoughtful look on her face. When she saw Xiluo and the others come in, she smiled sincerely.

"Xiluo, we are going to have another good show to watch!"

Although Xiluo didn't know Yu Qingli's plan, she looked very confident and said in a deep voice, "Yes! I am at your service at any time, young lady."

Yu Qingli laughed dumbly, "Alright, take a good rest recently and restore your body to its previous state as soon as possible. I'm afraid the main event will begin soon!"

Xiluo agreed in a deep voice.

Three days later, on an auspicious day, a red sedan carried by two people passed through the narrow side door and entered the side courtyard of Ju'an Hall, quietly as if nothing had happened.

That night, the eldest prince stayed in the side courtyard of Ju'an Palace, and everyone in the palace knew that the eldest prince had taken a concubine. At the same time, rumors that Yu Qingli was out of favor also spread everywhere.

On this day, the weather was fine, and there was a rare good sunshine, which made the originally bleak and cold winter day a little warmer. Yu Qingli sat in the room preparing herbs. Ever since she followed Yu Lihan to formally learn medicine, she had set up a compartment in the hall to use as a pharmacy. After all, medical skills are not something that can be learned by just reading books.

"Miss, someone is coming!"

"understood."

Yu Qingli put down the herbs in her hand, washed her hands with clean water, and then walked out.

Mei Hong came with Murong Feng. Her hair had been tied up into a bun, and her attire was completely different from before. She wore a pink floral pleated skirt, which was particularly eye-catching in this bleak winter day. She also wore a beautiful fox fur waistcoat on the outside, which added a bit of nobility to her.

The wounds on Mei Hong's body had healed long ago under the careful care of the imperial physician. They were much better than before. In addition, she was in a good mood and looked radiant. She looked like a little bird next to Murong Feng.

Murong Feng had a smile on his face, as gentle as the wind, and seemed to be in a good mood. Before he even entered the house, he reminded Mei Hong, "Be careful with the threshold, don't fall!"

Mei Hong responded softly, then shyly pulled Murong Feng's sleeve, "Your Highness, please hold my hand. I probably slept too late last night, so I feel a little dizzy today."

"You should go back and get some sleep later. Pregnant women need more rest."

"Yes!"

Watching the interaction between the two, Xiluo felt so disgusted that he almost vomited his breakfast. Xiaoliu also frowned after turning around. He had really underestimated Meihong before. How could this woman be so disgusting?

Yu Qingli didn't show any expression, maintaining her usual cool and elegant demeanor, and had some tea and snacks brought over.

"Qingli, Meihong is here today to formally pay you respects and offer you tea. Meihong, although you are pregnant with the little prince, you are still of low status. You must respect Qingli at all times. Do you understand?"

At this time, Murong Feng was just like any other man with three wives and four concubines. While doting on his concubines, he also did not forget to maintain the status of his wife. Yu Qingli suddenly found it very funny to see this. The person she was obsessed with in her previous life was actually such a person.

"I know." Mei Hong nodded politely. She stepped forward, picked up a cup of fragrant tea, and respectfully placed it in front of Yu Qingli. "Miss, thank you for fulfilling my wishful thinking. In this life, Mei Hong will always be your slave."

Yu Qingli took the teacup from Mei Hong and said, "Don't say such things. Now you have become His Highness's concubine, and you are no longer my slave."

"Qingli is right, Meihong. Although you were once a slave, you are now my concubine. Your status is naturally different. Don't be so self-deprecating in the future. You are no different from Qingli."

Murong Feng's words of comfort made Mei Hong smile. Wasn't this saying that although she entered the palace as a concubine, she had the same status as Yu Qingli? She finally didn't have to mind her lowly status. And most importantly, when the child was born, maybe her status would be even higher than Yu Qingli's!

The more Mei Hong thought about it, the more proud she felt. However, she remained humble and said, "I am where I am today thanks to the young lady. If it weren't for your careful teaching, I..."

"There's no need to talk about the past. Your Highness, is there anything else that brings you here today?" Yu Qingli interrupted Mei Hong. Her deliberate perfunctory and sarcastic tone made people feel sick.

Yu Qingli's interruption only made Mei Hong even more proud. See? She only provoked her a little, and the young lady couldn't stand it? She was really fragile. But there would be something even more uncomfortable for her in the future. She actually married her casually to a lowly gardener. She would never forget this grudge.

The two people beside them didn't care about Mei Hong's thoughts. Murong Feng answered Yu Qingli's question: "It's nothing serious. What's wrong?"

"Have you been to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager? What about the Empress Dowager? You should go and pay your respects!"

Since she was going to put on an act, Yu Qingli wasn't going to be outdone. She didn't believe that, having lived two lives, she couldn't defeat this cunning Mei Hong. Pretending to be generous was a piece of cake, wasn't it? Besides, she truly didn't have any feelings for Murong Feng anymore.
