Chapter 273 The man behind the scenes
Looking at Murong Feng's slightly twitching face, Yu Qingli was not surprised at all. She looked at the fair-faced, gentle and elegant man in front of her very calmly. Once, she loved him so much that she could give up everything for him.
But what about the ending? It was so tragic, so in this life, she would also send him to hell.
Murong Feng is a man who seems gentle but is actually cold. Although no one knows why he obeys Mei Hong's words, his cruelty and viciousness are certain. Does such a person really care about anything?
right!
If there is anything that Murong Feng cares about, it is definitely power.
Seeing Murong Feng remained silent, Yu Qingli said calmly, "Your Highness, do you want to regret it?"
"Change your mind? How could that be? Since this is Qingli's wish, I naturally agree."
Murong Feng gnashed his teeth as he spoke. Who did this woman think he was? She actually rejected his advances so bluntly. Did she think that no one, a dignified prince, would have sex with him?
But such a rejection really hurt his dignity and he couldn't accept it.
Like his mother, Queen Li, Murong Feng was actually a very vengeful person, but the world was deceived by his gentle appearance and could not see his cruel side at all.
Yu Qingli lowered her brows. No matter what Murong Feng's mood was, as long as he could agree to her request, it would be fine.
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. Also, congratulations, Your Highness."
Murong Feng paused, his gentle face showed a hint of coldness, and his suspicion of Yu Qingli increased.
However, there is still a long time to go, and he has plenty of time to investigate this woman. But from what he sees now, she seems to be wary of him.
It was a bit boring to stay any longer, so Murong Feng snorted coldly and left.
Yu Qingli stood on the corridor. The cold wind was biting, but she felt fortunate. Fortunately, Murong Feng was as hypocritical as his father.
Yu Qingli walked into the room. Xiluo was taking care of Murong Yue. She was a little surprised to see Yu Qingli come in. "Miss, haven't you rested yet?"
"Well, how is Murong Yue?"
"I'm much better now, and I slept very soundly. Miss, don't worry. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest. I'll take care of you here!"
"It's okay, I'm not sleepy yet."
Yu Qingli walked to the low table next to her and picked up the June chrysanthemum that Murong Yue gave her. There was a gloom in her eyes, unforgivable!
She must find out the mastermind behind this!
Suddenly, Yu Qingli noticed that there seemed to be someone missing in the room and couldn't help asking, "Where's Meihong?"
Xiluo glanced around and said, "It seems he went out just now."
Yu Qingli sneered knowingly. This Mei Hong really was always seizing opportunities. Thinking of Mei Hong, Yu Qingli suddenly remembered what she had asked Xiluo to investigate a few days ago.
"By the way, last time you told me that Mei Hong was summoned by the Queen alone. Do you know what it was about?"
"I have already investigated, and it seems that the Queen wants to use Mei Hong as her spy."
"Spies?" Yu Qingli sneered. There were spies everywhere around her, so she didn't mind having one more. But she didn't expect that even Mei Hong was bribed.
But come to think of it, she is trying so hard to climb up, how can she not please her future mother-in-law?
No wonder! She was puzzled as to why Mei Hong had been able to ascend to the position of imperial concubine so smoothly in her previous life. Even if she was favored, she could only be a beauty at best. She had never expected that she would have the support of the empress behind her.
Looking at Yu Qingli's thoughtful face, Xiluo sighed inwardly, vaguely confused. Since the young lady already knew that Meihong had betrayed her, why didn't she just get rid of her directly? Keeping this woman by her side was really hurting others and herself.
"Miss, Xiluo can help you get rid of Meihong at any time..."
"No need!" Yu Qingli refused, "If that's the case, it might not be too easy for her!"
Xiluo didn't say anything else. Since the young lady had her own plans, there was no need for her to continue interfering.
While the two were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open and Murong Yanhui walked in anxiously, with a hint of cold sweat on his stunning face. This suddenly reminded Yu Qingli that this person had just injured his back not long ago.
Before Yu Qingli could step forward to pay her respects, a cheerful voice rang out beside her ear, "Brother, are you in such a hurry? Please let me finish my dinner, please."
Yu Qingli was stunned, and then she saw a slightly familiar face.
"Qingli! Are you here too?"
The person who came was Yu Lihan, the only eldest young master of the Yu family. When he saw Yu Qingli, his eyes lit up and he felt the joy of reuniting with his relatives after a long separation.
In contrast, Yu Qingli's reaction was much calmer. She simply bowed politely, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan, Young Master Yu."
Yu Qingli's coldness made Yu Lihan feel a little sad. It seemed that his sister still had not forgiven their Yu family. He didn't know what to do to untie her knot in her heart.
"Lili, are you still here?"
Murong Yanhui's tone sounded a little surprised, but also vaguely happy. His Lili seemed to care about him very much, otherwise why would she stay to take care of Yue'er.
Yu Qingli saw through Murong Yanhui's thoughts at a glance, and her face turned cold. "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I just don't want this child to die here and ruin the eldest prince's reputation."
The so-called explanation is to cover up, but Yu Qingli's words are actually making things more obvious!
Looking at Murong Yanhui's burning gaze, Yu Qingli felt a little depressed. She frowned slightly and retreated without saying a word. It seemed that she had better leave as soon as possible.
But no one expected that the King of Yan could actually find Yu Lihan, especially during the curfew in the palace. He really has great powers.
Although he did not have a good impression of the people in the Yu Mansion, he heard that Yu Lihan had studied martial arts and medicine under a master in his early years and was a very capable guy. The emperor also rarely appreciated him and it was said that he once wanted to marry the princess to him.
After returning to the room, it was pitch black as she expected. Murong Feng and Mei Hong were not there, probably having gone out to have sex. Yu Qingli sneered and said, let them enjoy themselves for a few more days. One day, she would take everything back!
I don’t know if it was because of meeting Yu Lihan or because of meeting Murong Yanhui, but Yu Qingli actually had some insomnia and didn’t fall asleep until three o’clock in the morning.
When I woke up, I heard the good news from Xiluo, saying that Murong Yue had woken up. After eating some breakfast, she got out of bed and walked around lively. It seemed that she was really fine.
This was to be expected, and for some reason, she just felt this way.
I felt relieved, but I actually felt a little hungry. Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten a single bite of yesterday's dinner, and I was already in this state when I woke up in the morning.
"Miss, I asked someone to make some sweet soup. Now that you're awake, I'll bring it to you."
Meihong walked in from outside with a happy look on her face, and even the word "slave" that she always referred to herself as changed to "I".
Yu Qingli's eyes turned cold. It seemed that the two of them had a good time last night, and even Mei Hong was a little too proud of herself.
"No need. I'll go to the front hall to eat."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Mei Hong's face was a little embarrassed, "But Miss, there are guests in the front hall now."
"guest?"
"It's the eldest young master and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. His Royal Highness the First Prince is entertaining them!"
Yu Qingli frowned and thought, forget it. None of the three people in the front hall were the ones she wanted to see, so as not to affect her appetite.
"Then bring the sweet soup."
"Yes!"
Mei Hong walked out quickly, while Yu Qingli was thinking about the reason why Murong Yue was poisoned. After thinking about it, she felt that it must be related to herself.
Could it be that the assassination arranged by Yu Zhengsha in the palace was not thorough enough?
After the meal, Yu Qingli was obviously in much better spirits. She rested for a while, and then Murong Yue came in skipping. Although her complexion had not fully recovered and her face was a little pale, her big watery eyes were already very energetic.
Seeing Yu Qingli, Murong Yue ran over and called sweetly, "Mother..."
This time, Yu Qingli did not refuse, but only asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
Murong Yue forced a broad smile, "Yes! Yue'er is already well. I heard from my father that it was all my mother who saved me!"
"Nothing. Compared to this, Murong Yue, can you tell me in detail what you did before you fainted?"
Although Murong Yue was a little confused, she still followed Yu Qingli's wishes and recalled everything that happened before in detail.
The more Yu Qingli listened, the more her brows furrowed. There wasn't even a clue? Was the child not explaining clearly, or was the other party just too cunning?
She thought the answer should be the latter. Although Murong Yue was young, she was very smart and it was impossible for her to remember it wrongly. However, the other party was able to approach and poison her without anyone noticing, so he definitely could not be an outsider.
If there are only a few of them in this palace, Xiluo is definitely not the one, so which one is it, Meihong or Qinghe?
However, the method was so sophisticated and there was no evidence, so even she had no way to deal with it. Fortunately, the child was fine.
It seems that this matter can only be left unresolved now.
Murong Yue's innocent eyes stared at Yu Qingli tightly, without a trace of impurities, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Yu Qingli was a little dazed. When she came to her senses, her hand was already gently stroking the child's head. Before she could take it away, she was pounced on by Murong Yue. The soft little body made her feel a little warmth on such an autumn day.
Suddenly I felt that maybe, this kind of day wasn't so bad after all! And the Murong Yue in front of me didn't seem as annoying as she had been at first.
The matter of Murong Yue being poisoned was indeed left unresolved in the end. Although Yu Qingli felt a little resentful, she could only accept this fact.
