Chapter 325 Family Attack
Murong Feng was extremely respectful, his curiosity about Yu Qingli growing day by day. It seemed that his wife was quite interesting. What exactly did she want to do? She was clearly married to him, but she was on good terms with Concubine Yu and had even helped her many times. If he guessed correctly, the Prince of Yan was most likely taking action this time for Yu Qingli's sake.
Murong Feng's face couldn't help but turn cold. Since when did she, the prince's consort, become closer to him than he was to the young prince, and secretly cheated on him?
One day, this woman will be made to suffer a fate worse than death! Anyone who betrays Murong Feng will not have a good ending!
The cruelty in Murong Feng's eyes made Queen Li very satisfied. Her son was indeed the most suitable one to stand above everyone else and become the almighty monarch!
"Your Majesty, this is bad, Your Majesty..."
A palace maid ran in from outside the palace, and because she was running in a hurry, she accidentally fell at the door, and the words she was saying suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
The maid finally got up, half-knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, His Majesty came here in a rage. I heard that the three men were rescued in the middle of the night!"
"what?!"
Queen Li suddenly felt as if she couldn't catch her breath and her vision went dark. If the palace maid beside her hadn't supported her in time, she would have almost fainted!
"Mother!" Murong Feng also stepped forward worriedly and took Empress Li from the maid's hands. "Mother, what are you worried about? It's just that those people escaped."
"No, Feng'er, you don't understand. Since His Majesty has come to question me, it means someone has successfully pinned the blame on me! It seems that this time, we have completely lost!"
After all, Queen Li has been in the harem for many years and is well versed in this. She is really unwilling to accept her failure this time!
But now that things have come to this, she can probably only try her best to minimize the danger!
Sure enough, not long after, the emperor's usually gentle face became gloomy, and the eunuchs around him followed him tremblingly, fearing that if something went wrong, they would be angered by the emperor.
After the emperor entered the Chaofeng Palace, the empress ordered the gate to be closed. No one knew what happened inside. However, the empress was later confined to her room for three months and punished by being forced to copy Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist temple. The emperor also announced to the world the identity of Concubine Yu.
After hearing the news, Yu Qingli in Ju'an Palace finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the matter of Concubine Yu was finally over, and Concubine Yu no longer had to be frightened.
At this time, it was autumn. Yu Qingli and the Crown Princess were sitting in a pavilion in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace drinking tea. Looking around, the scenery in the garden was just right. Although it was late autumn, there were many red maple trees growing in the Crown Prince's courtyard, making it look very beautiful.
Crown Princess Liu Jinghong, oh, now she should be called Liu Caiyi, was holding a cup of tea in her hand, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows.
Yu Qingli, who was sitting opposite him, put down her cup and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you not used to living in the palace?"
Liu Caiyi shook his head, "That's not the case!"
"So His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is treating you badly now?"
"How is that possible? Your Highness treats me the same as before."
"In that case, why do you look so grim?"
Yu Qingli was a little puzzled. She actually admired Liu Caiyi very much, which was why she took so much trouble to help her.
Liu Caiyi sighed softly, "I just thought of Manwu. We are sisters, but she had to take the blame for me because of my selfishness. I..."
Yu Qingli turned serious, glanced around, and lowered her voice, "I know the place of Jinghong Music House in your heart, and I also know how important Liu Manwu is to you, but there is one thing I want to remind you of. Don't forget your own identity. In this harem, saying the wrong thing could become a handle for others."
Liu Caiyi's face turned pale when she heard this, but she nodded seriously. She was very clear about this, so no matter how much she missed Manwu, she did not leave the palace to visit her.
Yu Qingli paused, knowing that Liu Caiyi understood the situation in his heart, but was just emotionally worried. She couldn't help but sigh that Liu Manwu really had a good sister.
"When I have time, I will help you go see her, but I was a little surprised that she was willing to take over Jinghong Music Club."
Liu Caiyi smiled faintly, "Actually, Manwu is not a bad person. She is just a little childish, and I spoiled her, so she became very competitive!"
"Maybe you are right." Yu Qingli also smiled.
The two were chatting and laughing when they saw Murong Cheng walking in with someone. When they looked closely, it turned out to be Yu Lihan!
Yu Qingli frowned. Her mood would always inexplicably get worse whenever she saw someone from the Yu Mansion. Although Yu Lihan had not done anything excessive to her so far, whenever she thought that Yu Lihan was Yu Zhengsha's son and Yu Zhenzhen's brother, she would always reject him in her heart.
Yu Qingli then stood up and said goodbye, "It's getting late, Crown Princess, I won't bother you any longer."
Liu Caiyi also stood up and said, "Why don't you sit for a while? I want to talk to you more."
"Another day!"
The prince who was coming towards her nodded slightly at Yu Qingli as a greeting. Yu Qingli was not angry. She had already known in her past and present lives that this man was a complete taciturn person. She wondered if he was also like this when he was with Liu Caiyi.
Yu Lihan, who was standing by, saw Yu Qingli was about to leave and grabbed her clothes. "Sister Qingli, why are you leaving so soon? I still have something to tell you. Wait for me for a while, I'll take you back."
Yu Qingli was a little puzzled. Looking at Yu Lihan's eyes, she saw that he didn't seem to be joking. However, thinking of his identity, she felt that something was wrong. If she really waited here, wouldn't she be contradicting herself?
The news that she and Yu Zhengsha had severed their relationship had already spread all over the city, and she was relieved. This was the best way, she was still herself, not Yu Zhengsha's daughter!
But what was going on with Yu Lihan now? He was holding her so intimately, wasn't he trying to overturn the previous rumors?
This is not possible!
Yu Qingli's face immediately turned cold. "Master Yu, I no longer have any relationship with your Yu Mansion, and I'm not your sister. If you want to find your sister, just go to the side hall of Ju'an Palace. I think Yu Zhenzhen will be very happy to see you."
Yu Lihan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but he had no intention of letting Yu Qingli go. He just smiled brightly and said, "Sister Qingli, I will help you resolve the misunderstanding between you and your father one day. As for me, I really want to acknowledge you as my sister."
"But I have no intention of recognizing you as my brother. If everything is ok, please let me go, Master Yu. I have to go back."
Yu Lihan then let go of her hand somewhat awkwardly, his eyes still showing some loss and hurt, but soon, a warm smile appeared on his face, "Anyway, I'll come find you later, Sister Qingli!"
Yu Qingli was a little annoyed. Why was Yu Lihan just as clingy as Murong Yanhui? But forget it, he might just be talking.
However, what Yu Qingli didn't expect was that she really didn't know Yu Lihan well enough. He always did what he said.
So a quarter of an hour later, Yu Lihan appeared in Ju'an Palace on time. Although Yu Qingli looked unhappy, she did not drive him away directly. Well, she would just see what he wanted to say. Besides, she also wanted to know some things, such as, what did Yu Lihan come to see the prince for?
Seeing that Yu Qingli did not chase him away, Yu Lihan followed her into the hall very consciously. Thanks to his senior brother, he seemed to know how to talk to Yu Qingli.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want to say, Master Yu?"
Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows. She didn't think that this young general who was highly regarded by the emperor would be so bored as to come and chat with her and build a relationship with her.
"I heard from my senior brother, oh, it was King Yan who said that you were studying medical books."
Yu Qingli frowned. This Prince of Yan was truly a talkative person. But what had she just heard? Senior Brother? Was Murong Yanhui actually a disciple of Yu Lihan? It was truly astonishing!
In fact, Yu Qingli had some impression of Yu Lihan. In his previous life, he was a young general. It was said that he was very upright and Murong Shiling also valued him very much. Later, after she helped Murong Feng to take power, he seemed to be exiled because he refused to surrender to Murong Feng. Compared with his father who turned against his father in the middle of the battle, Yu Lihan's behavior was very admirable!
Although he later returned to the court thanks to Yu Zhengsha's efforts, at least this person's character was still good.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli answered his question, "I can't say I'm researching, I'm just taking a look."
Yu Lihan's eyes lit up and he said, "How about I teach you medicine?"
Yu Qingli was stunned. She didn't expect Yu Lihan to be so direct, but she also felt a little strange. Why would Yu Lihan help her like this?
Seeing Yu Qingli's silence, Yu Lihan thought she was dissatisfied with his poor medical skills, and couldn't help but boast: "Although I can't compare with the imperial doctors in the palace, I am also a unique school. I should..."
"I understand!" Yu Qingli interrupted Yu Lihan. In fact, it was much better for her to have someone teach her than for her to figure it out on her own. Even though this person was from the Yu family, anyone who didn't make use of the ready-made resources was a fool.
Yu Lihan was a little surprised. He thought it would take some effort to convince Yu Qingli, but he didn't expect that Yu Qingli was much better than he thought. He was just being petty.
"Sister Qingli, do you agree?"
Yu Qingli glanced at him and said, "So what? However, if you really want to teach me, don't call me sister. I said that I have no relationship with the Yu family now!"
"Then, can I call you Lili?" Yu Lihan thought of the way King Yan addressed Yu Qingli.
"Of course not!" A voice came from outside, vaguely dissatisfied, "Lili is my exclusive name, no one else is allowed to call me that!"
