Chapter 254 Unfounded charges
Blood flowed down that beautiful arm, the bright color was like a red lotus blooming in hell, enchanting and dazzling.
Even Murong Shiling, who was used to seeing life and death, was shocked when he saw Yu Qingli's resolute eyes. This woman was really not afraid of death. If Murong Yan had not protected her in the hall that time, she would probably have been beaten to a bloody pulp.
However, after Yu Qingli cut her arm, the drug in her body seemed to take effect, making it impossible for her to stay awake.
"Yu Qingli!"
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the Wolong Palace. Yu Qingli could only vaguely hear Murong Yanhui's voice, "You are too naive to try to stop me!"
A moment later, the door of the inner hall was kicked open, and someone rushed in like the wind. Before Murong Shiling could even react, he snatched Yu Qingli from his hands.
It turned out to be Murong Yanhui!
"Brother, you'd better explain what's going on."
Murong Yanhui's eyes turned cold, and his words lacked his usual respectfulness. The hostility in his gaze was obvious.
Murong Shiling was stunned, a little frightened by Murong Yanhui's eyes. His usual debauchery and unruliness had completely faded away, leaving only full of warning and indifference. The murderous intent in his eyes was obvious, and even his whole body was filled with a sense of danger.
Murong Shiling's face was covered in blood, but he still tried to maintain his imperial dignity and shouted sternly, "Prince Yan, do you know who you are talking to?"
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly and looked down. Yu Qingli's face was already covered with cold sweat and her complexion was pale. He didn't have time to stay any longer and carried Yu Qingli out of Wolong Palace. He really didn't want to stay in this place for even a quarter of an hour, and the current situation didn't allow him to know the details of the situation.
"Murong Yanhui, stop right there!"
Murong Shileng was a little angry and embarrassed. Yu Qingli resisted and Murong Yanhui was disrespectful. Did it mean that his dignity as an emperor was gone?
Murong Yanhui ignored Murong Shileng and left Wolong Palace with Yu Qingli with a gloomy face.
Immediately afterwards, Murong Shileng also hurried out, only to find that the guards outside had fainted on the ground and were unconscious. It seemed that it was Murong Yanhui who had done it just now.
Murong Shiling was extremely angry. This Murong Yanhui was so bold that he actually dared to openly injure his guards. Did he want to rebel?
However, the look in Murong Yanhui's eyes just now made Murong Shiling very concerned. At that moment, he felt that Murong Yanhui was almost going to kill him.
"Someone, come quickly!"
Murong Shileng yelled angrily, his anger sweeping the autumn wind, attracting the guards who were patrolling not far away. They were shocked when they saw Murong Shileng's face covered in blood.
"Your Majesty, we are late in protecting you. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. Hurry up and search. We must catch the assassin!"
The leader of the Imperial Guards knelt nervously, his heart pounding with anxiety. What had happened? Why was His Majesty injured?
The unconscious guard had been carried away. Judging from the extent of his injuries, Murong Yanhui had been very brutal in his attack.
Murong Shiling's face darkened. The King of Yan? Why was he here? And at such a coincidental time? Could it be that he had been watching his every move? It seemed he couldn't let down his guard against the King of Yan.
After all, he was once qualified to compete with himself for the throne. Even though he later degenerated into a dissolute playboy, his talent and ability would not diminish because of this!
It is precisely because of this that, over the years, even though he knew that Murong Yanhui was beyond help, he did not dare to relax at all.
At the same time, Murong Yan hugged Yu Qingli and went straight back to her bedroom. Although Yu Qingli was a little drowsy due to pain and blood loss and was a little confused about the current situation, she had a vague feeling of being at ease.
After feeling at ease, Yu Qingli quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The sky was a little gloomy, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression. Murong Yanhui had already pressed the acupoints on Yu Qingli's arm. Although the cut wound had stopped bleeding, the scarlet blood that was gradually drying up still looked shocking.
Murong Yan's hands couldn't help but tremble as she hugged Yu Qingli back. What was he doing? How could he let Yu Qingli be hurt like this? Murong Shiling! How dare he do this to Yu Qingli? It was unforgivable!
As soon as she entered the hall, Aunt Qing came to greet her. After seeing the situation in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Master, what happened?"
"Auntie, quickly prepare the best medicine!"
Aunt Qing didn't have time to ask any more questions, so she could only prepare the things she needed as instructed and hand them to Murong Yanhui.
Yu Qingli's injury was actually not very serious, it was just that the wound was a little scary.
Murong Yanhui treated her wounds carefully, putting in every effort and dedication.
Yu Qingli slept very soundly with a very calm expression, and Murong Yanhui finally felt relieved.
Whenever he thought of the previous scene, Murong Yanhui couldn't control his emotions. He even wanted to kill Murong Shiling.
Aunt Qing came in with the medicine soup. Seeing Murong Yanhui's affectionate face, she couldn't help feeling helpless. It seemed that the prince might really follow in his mother's footsteps, fall in love with someone who didn't love him, and even give his whole life for it.
Thinking of this, Aunt Qing couldn't help but sigh. Although she knew it was not the right time, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Your Highness, what happened to Miss Yu?"
Murong Yanhui didn't turn around, but her expression became serious, "Auntie, I'm afraid I've gotten into trouble this time."
Aunt Qing was shocked. From Murong Yanhui's tone, this matter seemed very serious. How could Miss Yu, who had just become the eldest prince's consort, be injured? Most importantly, how could she be with the prince?
Knowing that he couldn't hide the truth from Aunt Qing, Murong Yanhui simply told the truth and told Aunt Qing the whole cause and effect of the matter. Now that things have come to this, he didn't know how the emperor would react, but he was sure of one thing: he would never let it go.
I'm afraid the days ahead will be difficult.
Murong Yanhui's gaze was fixed on Yu Qingli's face. This was the only woman he would never let go of, even if it meant changing his previous behavior.
After Murong Yanhui finished speaking, Aunt Qing's expression changed completely. She said a little excitedly, "Your Highness, are you saying that you snatched Miss Yu back directly from His Majesty?"
"Yes."
"But then, wouldn't all the years of disguise, Your Majesty, be meaningless?"
"Maybe!" Murong Yan replied to Youyou. Although it was indeed a bit bad that things turned out like this, he did not regret his decision at that time.
On the contrary, Murong Yanhui even felt fortunate. If he had not happened to go to Wolong Palace to play chess with Murong Shileng, Yu Qingli might have been defiled by Murong Shileng.
Based on his understanding of Yu Qingli, if such a thing really happened, it is unknown what the consequences would be.
So maybe this is the best thing now.
Aunt Qing looked serious, and it seemed that she needed to make some preparations in advance.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we have to be on guard from now on."
"Be on guard?" Murong Yanhui smiled faintly. "Auntie, you're overly nervous. Besides, judging by the current situation, it's already too late to be on guard, isn't it? After all, my brother's men are probably already outside the palace."
As soon as Murong Yan finished her reply, the sound of very consistent footsteps and noisy voices were heard outside the hall.
"what happened?"
Aunt Qing opened her mouth to ask, but before she could receive a reply from outside the hall, many guards rushed in.
Murong Yanhui stood up from the bedside, but without the slightest panic, "It seems that it is faster than I expected. My royal brother really can't wait!"
Aunt Qing took a step forward nervously, "Your Highness..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. I'll be fine. I'm going to go out and check on the situation. I'd also like to ask Auntie to help me take care of Lili."
"but……"
"Don't worry, the king will be back soon."
Murong Yanhui looked confident and calm. Up to now, there was at least one thing he was very sure of, that is, he would be fine for the time being.
Murong Yanhui walked out of the hall, and those waiting outside the hall were indeed Murong Shiling's guards. The leading general stepped forward respectfully and saluted Murong Yanhui.
"Your Majesty, I and others have been ordered to come and ask for your assistance in investigating the assassination of His Majesty. Please accompany us."
"Assisting in the investigation?"
Murong Yanhui showed a slight sneer on his lips. It seemed that his royal brother was not ready to kill him yet!
Should he feel lucky about this?
"Okay! I will go with you."
Aunt Qing still chased out with some concerns. She was really worried. After all, His Majesty had been wary of the prince for a long time, and the surveillance of the prince had never stopped. This meant that His Majesty had been looking for and waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to catch the prince in one fell swoop.
Over the years, the prince's disguise has always been perfect, but this time, for a woman, he actually took the initiative to provoke His Majesty?
Such a thing is really unacceptable!
Murong Yanhui followed those people out of the hall without any resistance. However, within a stick of incense, news reached Anle Hall that Murong Yanhui had been taken to jail, and the charge was that he was suspected of assassinating his master.
After hearing the news, Aunt Qing suddenly fell into the chair beside the bed, looking panicked. It seemed that this time, His Majesty was determined to get rid of the prince.
Now how to do?
