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

Chapter 360 Testing the Queen Mother

Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli with a determined look in her eyes, knowing that she had secretly made a decision, but she didn't know what role she should play in this matter.

"Murong Yanhui, you didn't even know what I asked you to do, but you agreed so readily. Aren't you afraid that you will regret it?" Yu Qingli expressed her doubts.

Murong Yanhui curled her lips into a faint smile, captivating everyone, "Lili's request, why should I regret it?"

Yu Qingli straightened her face, "What if what I want you to do is something that will bring eternal infamy and be regarded as disloyal and unjust?"

"Can you?" Murong Yan raised her eyebrows.

"I can!"

Yu Qingli was testing him, and at the same time, she was also gambling! She was betting that Murong Yanhui's feelings for her were not fake! A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. This was no mere saying. The fact that a notorious playboy like Murong Yanhui was unwilling to even maintain the most basic appearance of a romantic life was probably the biggest surprise after Yu Qingli's rebirth.

Therefore, she was willing to believe in love again, and was also willing to believe in the man in front of her! She hoped that he would not betray her trust.

Therefore, she didn't want to lie to him!

Murong Yanhui frowned slightly, but his eyes were full of smiles, "Lili, even if you want me to go to hell, I won't refuse!"

Although he spoke with a smile, Yu Qingli unexpectedly sensed his seriousness. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, making Yu Qingli a little at a loss.

"Feel sorry……"

Yu Qingli subconsciously opened her mouth to apologize, but Murong Yanhui reached out to stop her. His slender fingers covered her soft lips, and Yu Qingli's ears suddenly turned red.

"Lili, there's no need to apologize for this. I said, I did all this voluntarily."

Murong Yanhui's eyes were gentle and clear, without any of her usual evil charm, but it made Yu Qingli's heart beat faster for no reason.

Murong Yanhui's eyes darkened. The woman in front of him raised her head slightly. Her slightly red eyes looked pitiful, which softened his heart. How could he refuse such a fragile Yu Qingli?

The touch of his fingers was obviously no longer enough to satisfy Murong Yanhui. He withdrew his fingertips, and the temperature on them almost burned his heart.

Murong Yanhui lowered her head, and her beautiful thin lips covered Yu Qingli's rosy lips. Yu Qingli was stunned on the spot, and her head felt a buzzing, and suddenly everything went blank. She felt that her originally cold body became hot because of the other party's hug and actions. Her eyes were wide open, with a hint of innocence, which made people want to cherish her even more.

Murong Yanhui laughed muffledly, and the low and sexy laughter disappeared at the lips that were pressed tightly together. White and transparent saliva slid down her red lips, making her look charming and seductive.

Yu Qingli's hand subconsciously clung to Murong Yanhui's shoulder, which inevitably seemed like throwing herself into his arms in the eyes of others. Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise, if they did such an immoral thing in broad daylight, both of them would be in trouble!

The bright sunlight made Yu Qingli feel a little dizzy. When she came to her senses, she saw Murong Yanhui's face full of playfulness and satisfaction. Even his voice was much hoarser than usual. "Lili, although I also want to eat you here, it is still a little inappropriate."

Yu Qingli suddenly felt her cheeks burning and her ears almost bleeding. She pushed Murong Yanhui away in a panic and left as if escaping.

Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli's back thoughtfully.

On the other side, Murong Shiling had just returned to the imperial study when he found Chimei already waiting. After seeing Murong Shiling, Chimei saluted respectfully, "Master."

"What? Any news?"

Chi Mei hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Master, I'm afraid this news is not good!"

Murong Shileng's face turned pale when he heard this. Most of the people in the Anbu were selected by him personally, and some had even followed him for many years, such as the demon in front of him. So Murong Shileng did not doubt his investigation. Then, the so-called bad news was probably related to that person.

"Tell me!"

"Master, after investigation by our subordinates, I believe things have changed since the Queen Mother left the palace to pay homage to Buddha last time."

"Tell the important point!"

"I heard from the maids serving in Cixin Hall that the Empress Dowager seems to be less amiable than before after returning from her last visit to the Buddha. She has become much more withdrawn and spends almost every day in Fengfo Hall. She even ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to plant a lot of red maple trees in Cixin Hall and even pulled out a few winter plum trees."

Murong Shiling was lost in thought. "These alone aren't enough to explain anything. Even though Mother has always loved plum blossoms, that doesn't mean she can't also like red maples, right?"

"This doesn't seem to mean anything, but there's one thing that's very strange: the Queen Mother seems to be paying close attention to Prince Yan's affairs lately. She even transferred Qingluan, who had served him for many years, to her own side. Does Your Majesty think this is all just a coincidence?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I have a bold guess, but it still requires your Majesty to confirm it."

"Come and listen."

"I think this Queen Mother is probably fake!"

"presumptuous!"

As soon as Chi Mei finished speaking, Murong Shi Leng excitedly stood up from the dragon throne and shouted at him with an angry face: "Chi Mei, do you know what you are talking about? Suspicion of the royal family will be punished!"

"My subordinates know!"

Chimei seemed very calm at this time. I don’t know if he had already prepared himself mentally or if he was really that confident.

However, his behavior made Murong Shiling even more embarrassed. If what Chi Mei said was true, then who was this fake queen mother? Seeing that she was very familiar with everything in the palace, she must have lived in the palace.

However, since the death of the previous emperor, the former concubines had left, dispersed, or died. It was impossible for any of them to remain in the palace. Moreover, he had witnessed his mother's methods before, and her iron-blooded tactics were no worse than his. This was also the reason why he was able to stand out from several princes.

It has to be said that Murong Shileng was grateful to the Queen Mother. Although the Queen Mother was not his biological mother, she raised him and did her best to pave the way for him to ascend the throne smoothly. Therefore, Murong Shileng always respected and admired the Queen Mother.

But now, suddenly someone told him that the person he had always regarded as his mother was actually someone pretending to be him. This was really hard to accept. Moreover, he could not attack the empress dowager just based on a few words from the evil spirit.

Murong Shiling frowned. It seemed that he really should think about it carefully!

At Murong Shileng's signal, the demon quickly left the imperial study. Murong Shileng stood alone in the slightly empty study, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

His mother died due to complications during childbirth, and he was bullied and insulted when he was young. The situation did not change until he was seven years old and the empress dowager took him to her side.

Therefore, if there is no definite evidence, he really does not want to touch the Queen Mother, but regarding the several doubts mentioned by the demon, he can find a way to ask about it.

"Defu, I pay my respects to the Cixin Palace!"

Murong Shiling didn't care about the pomp and circumstance. He just took Defu with him and quietly headed towards Cixin Palace.

Passing through the intricately carved palace corridors, Murong Shiling arrived outside the Cixin Palace. Looking inside through the circular archway, he saw a sea of crimson. The bright color was refreshing.

The winter plum blossoms that the empress dowager originally loved very much were now inlaid in twos and threes among the gorgeous red maples, looking a bit lonely.

Upon learning that the emperor was coming, palace maids quickly came out to greet him, led by Qingluan, whom the demon had mentioned before.

Murong Shiling frowned slightly. He still had an impression of this person. He remembered that she used to be with Prince Yan, and he heard that she was once a maid of Prince Yan's mother and had always been loyal to Murong Yanhui.

Why would the Queen Mother transfer such a person to her side?

"Your Majesty, it's a coincidence that Your Majesty has come. The Queen Mother is in a good mood today and was just thinking of sending someone to notify Your Majesty to come and have tea together!" Qing Luan saluted respectfully, and her behavior was proper and correct, so there was nothing wrong with it.

Murong Shiling responded softly and then walked into the hall.

The Queen Mother sat in front on a high phoenix chair, holding a blue and white porcelain cup in her hand. The aroma of tea filled the air, making people feel comfortable.

Seeing the emperor coming, the empress dowager put down her tea bowl and looked very happy. "Your Majesty is here. I was just thinking of calling you over for tea, and you came. What a coincidence."

Murong Shiling also put on a gentle smile and said, "Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother. Didn't the Queen Mother go to the Buddhist temple today?"

"The weather is getting colder, my legs and feet are a little sore, and I feel a little lazy. I'm getting old after all. I'm too lazy to even sit here and copy Buddhist scriptures."

"You're joking, mother. You're in good health, how can you be old?"

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "My prince is becoming more and more talkative. By the way, what brings you here today?"

Murong Shiling sat down next to the Queen Mother. "Nothing much, it's just that I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you a lot."

"The emperor is thoughtful."

The Empress Dowager was so amiable that the Emperor didn't know where to begin his inquiry. After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke, "By the way, when I had my men tidying up the chambers a few days ago, I unexpectedly found a small purse. It really brings back memories. I remember that this was embroidered for me personally on my eighth birthday!"

The Queen Mother continued to smile gently, "Your Highness has been so busy with state affairs that you forgot. I clearly gave you that purse on your tenth birthday. I remember you were so happy at that time that you couldn't bear to take it off before going to bed at night."

Murong Shiling looked excited, but hidden beneath his usual gentleness, he seemed somewhat happy.
