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

Chapter 318 Crisis

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Yu became agitated. She no longer cared about her status and fell to her knees in front of Yu Qingli. She begged for mercy, "Miss Yu, I know you have great powers. Since you can rescue me from the dungeon, why can't you help me escape from the palace?"

Concubine Yu was in a very bad mood and didn't care about anything else at all. However, her behavior scared Yu Qingli, who quickly asked Xiluo to go out and check if there was anyone outside. Only after making sure that everything was safe did Yu Qingli look at Concubine Yu coldly.

"My Lady, please get up!"

"No, I won't get up unless you agree to my request. I was so naive before that I actually thought I could survive safely in this palace. I didn't expect that after just a few days, the Queen would start to cause trouble for me. If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid..."

"Your Highness! Please remember your current identity!"

Yu Qingli's voice suddenly became stern, and she was obviously a little angry. Not to mention the special status of Concubine Yu, if this scene was seen by others, their safety would probably be in jeopardy.

Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with tears and her face looked pitiful. She just wanted to live a good life, so why should she be involved in such a thing?

Yu Qingli sighed inwardly, stepped forward and helped Concubine Yu up, appealing to her emotions and reasoning with her, "My Lady Concubine, today was just an accident. I was negligent, but you can't leave, at least not now!"

"Ms. Yu, please let me go. I'm just an ordinary woman. I'm Xiu'er..."

"Empress Yu!"

Yu Qingli raised her voice to remind him, with a rare indifference on her face. She admitted that she had released Xiu'er from the dungeon in order to use her. In fact, Xiu'er had done it very successfully. At least since she appeared, Murong Shileng had not bothered her again.

This should have been a win-win situation, but it was also a difficult gamble. Once one of the two parties was exposed, Yu Qingli's fate would probably not be much better than that of the woman who pretended to be Yu Liuli. It might even be worse, and this was what she least wanted to see.

Yu Qingli took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She knew that Concubine Yu was a little frightened today. She might never have thought that even with the emperor's protection, the harem would still be so dangerous.

However, this is the harem, open and covert struggles, conspiracies and intrigues are commonplace, not to mention that Concubine Yu has indeed been a little too aggressive these days!

Yu Qingli didn't say anything, but looked into Concubine Yu's eyes steadily. "I know you've been wronged today, but if you want to survive in this harem, things like this are inevitable. You'd better adapt as soon as possible."

Yu Qingli paused, and seeing that Concubine Yu was silent, she continued, "I will agree to what you just said, but... definitely not now!"

Concubine Yu's eyes flickered, and she didn't know whether she should be happy or angry, but she seemed to have understood some things, such as, that she now had no right to choose.

It was not known whether Yu Qingli's words had an effect, or whether Concubine Yu finally understood. In any case, Concubine Yu's emotions gradually calmed down. She straightened her clothes and then slowly spoke, "I'm sorry, I was too excited. I will go back today. We can talk about this later. I hope Miss will not forget your promise to me."

"Of course, Xiluo, send Concubine Yu off."

"No need!"

Concubine Yu came quietly and left gracefully, soon disappearing from Ju'an Palace. Xiao Liuzi came in from outside, with an unconcealable smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Miss, the prince invites you."

"He's quite free. Didn't he just go play chess with His Majesty?"

"I heard that His Majesty wasn't in the mood and had already gone back. The prince asked me to pass on a message, saying that he wanted Miss to go and discuss something regarding... Imperial Concubine Yu."

Yu Qingli lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Alright, let's go to Anle Palace."

Apart from anything else, based on King Yan's previous performance, Yu Qingli felt that she should thank him properly.

Yu Qingli took Xiluo and Xiaoliu out of Ju'an Hall, but she didn't notice that in the room where they had just talked, a palace maid crawled out from under the bed with a complicated expression. She was in a disheveled posture and the shock in her eyes could not be concealed.

This person is Mei Hong!

Mei Hong was originally in the room. When Yu Qingli pulled Concubine Yu in, she hid under the bed for some unknown reason. At that time, she still had a vague sense of guilt in her heart. After all, just now, she and the eldest prince were making love.

But later, after hearing the conversation between Yu Qingli and Concubine Yu, she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and a sense of fear surged from the bottom of her heart. She really couldn't see Yu Qingli clearly anymore. Although she had been with her for many years, she had never felt this panicky.

Miss, how many things are you hiding from me?

Mei Hong couldn't believe it, but she soon realized one thing. The relationship between Yu Qingli and Concubine Yu was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface. The most important thing was that Xiluo and the new Xiaoliu seemed to know about this matter, but they kept it from her!

Why is that?

The only reason Mei Hong could think of was that she was suspected!

The little bit of guilt that I had left towards Yu Qingli finally disappeared completely under such anger and unwillingness!

Mei Hong clenched her fists and made a decision in her heart. Perhaps it was time for her to consider her own way out.

Thinking of this, Meihong walked out of the room. Qinghe in the yard was a little surprised to see Meihong and asked casually, "Meihong, where are you going?"

Mei Hong didn't answer, but turned and smiled at Qing He, "A place that changed my destiny!"

Qinghe was completely confused and just stared at Meihong's back in a daze, but soon her face turned red. She thought Meihong was going to find the eldest prince.

At this moment in Anle Palace, Yu Qingli lost her grip on the teacup and it fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. The tea that splashed onto her hand accidentally scalded her hand.

Looking at the fragments on the ground, Yu Qingli suddenly felt uneasy. It seemed that she had overlooked something important.

Yu Qingli didn't know that a bloody storm she hadn't expected was brewing! Her momentary carelessness almost cost her both wings.

Seeing Yu Qingli accidentally scalded her hand with tea, Murong Yanhui's heart was in a knot, and she quickly called the servants to bring the best medicine.

When Aunt Qing came in with the tray, Murong Yanhui was holding Yu Qingli's hand and blowing gently, ignoring her refusal. This scene made Aunt Qing feel indescribable.

She felt a little uncomfortable, a little happy, and a little melancholy, especially after thinking about the task that person had given her, she felt even more uncomfortable.

Her gaze once again fell on Murong Yanhui's cautious eyes, and Aunt Qing sighed in her heart. Now that things have come to this, what should she do?

Holding a bottle of the best medicine for wounds, Aunt Qing stepped forward and said, "Master, let me do it!"

Murong Yanhui didn't say anything, but just looked at Aunt Qing with a cold gaze. Since the day he knew that she was going to deal with Qingli, she has been looking at him like this.

Aunt Qing couldn't help feeling sad, but she just pursed her lips and couldn't say a word. It seemed that the prince no longer believed her at all. Even if he spared her life, it was probably to repay him for his companionship over the years.

Aunt Qing clenched her fists, her nails digging into her flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all. Or perhaps she had become accustomed to such pain.

It was Yu Qingli who resolutely pulled her hand out of Murong Yanhui's this time, placed it in front of Aunt Qing, and said softly, "Thank you!"

Aunt Qing remained silent and swiftly opened the porcelain bottle in her hand. Just as she was about to pour the medicine on Yu Qingli's hand, Murong Yanhui snatched the porcelain bottle from Aunt Qing's hand with a gloomy face.

"Let me take this medicine!"

Aunt Qing lowered her brows. It seemed that she should have a good talk with that person. Perhaps, their approach was wrong from the very beginning.

Concubine Qing turned and left, and the oppressive atmosphere in the palace eased a little. Only Xiao Liu frowned beside him. What happened between the master and Concubine Qing? He had just returned to the palace and didn't know the inside story.

However, Xiluo knew everything about this matter, so she was happy in her heart, thinking that the person who wanted to hurt the young lady finally got his retribution, which really made her happy. Looking at the faces of the young lady and the prince, they didn't seem so happy.

No one knew what kind of medicine was in the porcelain bottle, but it gave Yu Qingli a cool feeling when she applied it on her hands, making her feel very comfortable. Yu Qingli sighed softly and looked up at the man who was holding her fingers in his palms like treasures. His face was still the same evil and charming one, but she didn't know when it was stained with a hint of sadness.

Is this person in trouble?

Come to think of it, I heard that Aunt Qing was almost his only support for so many years, accompanying him through the most difficult years of his childhood. And what about me? Seeing his expression like this, Yu Qingli felt a little moved.

"Your Highness, you... why bother?"

It was just a few simple words, but Murong Yanhui's eyebrows suddenly brightened, and the corners of his lips raised seductively, "Lili, are you concerned about me?"

Yu Qingli bit her tongue secretly. How could she forget that this man was climbing the ladder and she shouldn't treat him like this.

Murong Yanhui saw that Yu Qingli stopped talking, but her ears were already red. His heart couldn't help but feel warm. Lili, really cared about him!

But how should she give Lili an explanation for the fact that Aunt Qing wanted to assassinate her before?

Murong Yanhui didn't dare to think about it. Now, the only thing he could do was to find out the real culprit behind the scenes who put him in such a dilemma as soon as possible! He just had this intuition that Aunt Qing was being controlled by someone.
