Chapter 396 The Scandal
Yu Qingli was somewhat bewildered by Murong Feng's attitude. Hadn't the news said that Murong Feng had previously gone to the Yu Mansion to propose marriage? Why was he now denying it? Didn't he no longer want Yu Zhengsha's support?
Seeing Yu Qingli frown, Murong Feng smiled like a spring breeze, "Qingli, are you jealous?"
Yu Qingli lowered her eyebrows and said, "No, I'm just a little curious. But if Your Highness really wants to marry Zhenzhen, I can help you think of a way."
Murong Feng was a little surprised, "Are you willing to help me?"
"Of course. It's common for men to have three or four wives. Your Highness is not an ordinary man. Even if he wants to find a concubine, it's understandable. Besides, it's better for Zhenzhen to follow Your Highness than for Him to find someone I don't know well in the future."
Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli with a strange look in his eyes, "Qingli, it's amazing that you are so magnanimous. Do you have someone else in your heart?"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? Isn't it true that I only have Your Highness in my heart?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Feng moved closer to Yu Qingli, his eyes full of inquiry. He asked in a low voice, "Really? If that's the case, why have you been so distant and distant towards me since we got married, and even to this day, we haven't actually been married?"
Yu Qingli felt disgusted when she heard him speak so bluntly, but pretended to be shy and said, "Haven't we discussed this matter before? It's not that I…"
"That's enough!" Murong Feng suddenly grabbed Yu Qingli's hand. "Your Highness doesn't want to hear those perfunctory excuses anymore. What if I insist on consummating my marriage with you today?"
Murong Feng's eyes suddenly became hot, and the flames in his eyes seemed to want to devour Yu Qingli, making her a little panicked. If Murong Feng really wanted to force her, she would probably be helpless.
Murong Feng stared at the woman in front of him. She challenged his patience again and again. She was obviously his wife, but she repeatedly rejected his favors. What exactly did this woman want to do?
The more you can’t get something, the more you miss it!
Murong Feng didn't understand why this woman who had been so warm to him before had become so cold after marriage? Could it be that, as the rumors said, she had an ambiguous relationship with the King of Yan?
The gloom in Murong Feng's eyes had already emerged, and he didn't even bother to pretend.
Yu Qingli looked at Murong Feng like this and couldn't help but sneer. This was the real Murong Feng, cruel, vicious, selfish and ruthless! It seemed that she was really blind in her previous life!
Yu Qingli met Murong Feng's eyes directly, her cold gaze filled with mockery and disdain, "Your Highness, are you going to force me?"
Murong Feng was a little annoyed by her gaze. This woman could always easily tear off his disguise and make him angry. This was really not a good thing.
This feeling of being out of control made Murong Feng feel very bad, and therefore, he gripped Yu Qingli's wrist with increasing force.
"Yu Qingli, you and I are already husband and wife. If that's the case, you should fulfill your duties as husband and wife, right? How can this be considered forced?"
Yu Qingli sneered in her heart, but a hint of grievance appeared on her face. "Your Highness, do you really think that Qingli is unwilling to be with you..." Yu Qingli paused deliberately. "These days, rumors are everywhere in the palace. Has Qingli ever asked you a single question? But Qingli is a woman after all. How can I not feel sad when I hear these words from the one I love?"
Murong Feng looked a little puzzled when he heard this, but unexpectedly Yu Qingli continued, "Besides, Your Highness and I have already made an agreement that you will not force me. Does Your Highness intend to go back on your word?"
Murong Feng's face suddenly turned cold, and then his eyes turned, "That's not what I promised, it's..."
Before Murong Feng could even begin to speak, he was interrupted by Yu Qingli, "Your Highness, are you still trying to deceive me? You're saying it's the other person in your body causing all this trouble? Do you think Qingli is so easily deceived, Brother Feng?"
Murong Feng was stunned. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Qingli spoke up, "Brother Feng, I know you're joking with me, but this joke isn't funny at all. Qingli doesn't like it either. And there's one thing Brother Feng may not know. The Crown Prince was able to escape danger this time because the Crown Princess came to see me."
Murong Feng was shocked. Although he had some doubts before, he still couldn't believe that Yu Qingli had such ability. Now that he heard her admit it to her face, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Why? Brother Feng doesn't believe it?"
Murong Feng let go of Yu Qingli, his face becoming cold. "Why did you help him? Is it really like the rumors say, that you and Murong Cheng..."
"Brother Feng, what are you thinking? I have never had anything to do with the Crown Prince. I just felt sorry for Liu Caiyi and didn't want the Crown Prince to die in prison for nothing."
Murong Feng snorted coldly, "So you're going to betray me?"
"Betrayal?" Yu Qingli smiled lightly, "Brother Feng, you're wrong. Don't you know that when a cat catches a mouse, it always teases it for a while before eating it?"
Murong Feng was stunned. Cat catching mouse, did she mean to play the prince in the palm of her hand? But wouldn't it be better to just kill the prince?
Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli with a puzzled look, but she narrowed her eyes slightly, like a sated cat, and spoke lazily, "Brother Feng, do you think that with your current influence in the court, if something happens to the crown prince, you will be able to keep your throne?"
Murong Feng thought for a moment. Although he had the emperor's support, he did not have any trusted generals under his command. Yu Zhengsha, who he had always wanted to win over, was so indecisive and just stood by and watched. However, the situation behind the prince was different. He had General Lin in the court and the Liu family outside the court. In comparison, his maternal grandfather, the Li family, was just a merchant family, and there were not many powerful people in the clan in the court.
In comparison, Murong Feng felt that Yu Qingli's approach was not bad. Now is not the time to completely suppress the prince. Looking at the current situation, even with the support of his father, most of the ministers in the court support the prince. This situation is really not in his favor.
However, even he had to think carefully about this matter, but Yu Qingli made the judgment so easily and even took corresponding actions. It was really surprising. It was a pity that Yu Qingli was not a man!
Yu Qingli saw the change in Murong Feng's expression and knew that he had understood what she meant. She felt relieved. If she wanted to gain Murong Feng's trust, she naturally had to give him some benefits!
Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli with an extremely complicated expression. After a while, he said, "Qingli, do you want to become my advisor?"
Yu Qingli burst out laughing. "Brother Feng, how can a woman like me be a counselor? But if you have any problems that you can't solve, you can always ask me. You know, I always like to read some miscellaneous books when I have nothing to do. Maybe I can bring you some surprises."
Murong Feng suddenly reached out and put his arms around Yu Qingli's slender waist. Yu Qingli was startled, but did not struggle. She just let his breath approach, but her heart became inexplicably nervous.
Gentle words passed by, "Qingli, it is my blessing to be able to marry you in this life."
"Me too!" Yu Qingli's voice was gentle, but her eyes were as cold as ice.
"Qingli..."
Murong Feng was obviously moved. He had a beautiful girl in his arms, and she was the woman he had never been able to get. Although he had only treated her as a decoration before, he discovered that she was actually a rough diamond during their time together. This was really an unexpected surprise.
The warm breath coming from behind Yu Qingli's neck made her feel creepy, but she couldn't push him away directly. She could only endure the chill that came from her blood. Yu Qingli kept thinking about how to reject him.
Murong Feng did not notice anything unusual about Yu Qingli, he only felt a cold fragrance in his nose, which made him unable to control himself. This woman had an irresistible impulse, and this feeling was very fresh, no one could compare with it. She was as cold as the moon, but she had a poppy-like temptation.
This realization made Murong Feng no longer willing to endure. Perhaps, only when he got this woman would he stop his inner desire.
Murong Feng tightened his grip around Yu Qingli, as if he wanted to hold her in his arms. Yu Qingli felt increasingly uncomfortable, and every part of her body was clamoring for this painful hug to end quickly.
Murong Feng's hand had already reached Yu Qingli's collar. The coolness of his fingertips made Yu Qingli shudder. She couldn't help but shout, "Your Highness!"
Murong Feng paused, leaned close to her ear, and said in an ambiguous voice, "What? Are you shy?"
Yu Qingli secretly thought it was ridiculous. Which eye of his saw her shyness? Wasn't all she felt now hatred and disgust?
Murong Feng obviously didn't notice this. He simply thought that it was his behavior that made the inexperienced Yu Qingli blush. She smiled softly and said, "Don't be afraid. I will be gentle."
Yu Qingli's face suddenly turned cold, her stomach churning, and she felt extremely nauseous. She couldn't bear such a touch for even a quarter of an hour.
Yu Qingli decisively reached out to stop Murong Feng's behavior, "Your Highness, not today!"
This again? Murong Feng was very dissatisfied. It seemed that every time she was about to say something, she would stop. Didn't this woman know how bad this behavior was?
"why?"
Murong Feng ripped open his collar in a slightly irritated manner, and let go of Yu Qingli like a gentleman. Yu Qingli turned around and said, "I came here for menstruation today..." The words on her lips disappeared after her eyes touched the red mark on Murong Feng's collar. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. It seemed that she had found a better reason.
Yu Qingli's eyes and expression quickly turned cold. Murong Feng was a little puzzled. Why did she keep staring at his neck?
Yu Qingli put the mirror from the dressing table into Murong Feng's hands with a frosty face, pretending to be jealous, "Your Highness has worked so hard, you must take care of your health!"
