Chapter 476: Stone Decides Life
Xiluo's eyes dimmed. "Miss, please stop teasing me. You know very well that it's absolutely impossible for me and Prince Alai to be together. Not to mention the thousands of mountains and rivers between us, even our statuses are incompatible."
Yu Qingli said seriously, "Xiluo, love is something you can't measure with these things. If you like it, just go for it. Besides, I promised Prince Alai back then. If he really wants to, he can come and marry you in a sedan chair after everything is arranged in the kingdom. But in the meantime, marriage is irrelevant, so it all depends on your feelings."
Xiluo nodded, her heart in a mess, while Changkong, who had just been rejected, still had a blank expression on his face.
Murong Yanhui narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that he should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Changkong, but at this moment, he had more important things to do.
"Lili, how about I take you up there?"
Yu Qingli turned her head to look at him, "Why should I go with you?"
"Since you and I are husband and wife, isn't it only right that we carve our names together on this Lover's Stone?"
Murong Yan replied without wasting any more words with Yu Qingli. He picked her up by the waist, stepped lightly, and flew onto the huge Lover's Stone.
The wind was very strong on the top of the mountain. Yu Qingli felt as if her whole body was about to be blown away by the wind. She subconsciously reached out and grabbed Murong Yanhui's clothes.
"It's okay, Lili, look, there are words on it."
Yu Qingli lowered her head and saw that the huge rock was indeed engraved with the four big characters "Love for Three Lifetimes", and next to the big characters were the names of several couples engraved here and there.
"Lili, today I, Murong Yanhui, swear a vow in front of this Lover's Stone to be together forever. If I ever fail you in this life, you will definitely let me..."
Yu Qingli reached out and covered Murong Yanhui's lips. "Don't say anymore, Murong Yanhui. You don't owe me anything. I'm already very touched by your kindness to me. I only ask for one thing. If one day, your feelings for me no longer exist, then at least we can part ways amicably. How about that?"
"Lili, are you promising me?"
"Why not agree? I'm not heartless. Seeing you hurt makes me sad. From the day I followed you to the battle, I knew that if there was room in my heart for one person in this life, it would probably be you."
Murong Yanhui was very excited. He pulled out the dagger from his waist and carved his name on the Lover's Stone. Yu Qingli also took the dagger and carved her own name on it.
Afterwards, the two came down from the huge rock. Murong Yanhui showed a happy expression on his face. He took Yu Qingli in his arms and walked towards the Guanyin Temple. Surprisingly, Yu Qingli did not refuse.
Changkong and Xiluo looked at each other and were both happy for the prince. Did this mean that they had decided to spend their lives together?
As Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli entered the temple, a white-haired and white-bearded monk came to greet them. "Excuse me, benefactors! You two seem quite impressive. Why have you come to my temple?"
"Master, my wife and I are here to pray for a child. We will just say our prayers and leave. We won't delay you."
"I'm so busy welcoming distinguished guests that I can't even think of delaying them. Besides, both of you are blessed with great fortune, and you will definitely have children in the future."
Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli looked at each other. What did this master mean? He was blocking the door and refusing to let them in. Could it be that he didn't want them to enter the temple to burn incense?
The old monk clasped his hands together, looked Yu Qingli up and down, and said softly, "Huh? This female donor's horoscope is really strange."
Murong Yanhui was extremely nervous upon hearing this. Since it concerned Yu Qingli, he preferred to believe it. He immediately asked, "Master, do you also know about the Five Elements divination? I wonder what the method of my wife's horoscope is?"
The old monk laughed and said, "The Buddha said, it cannot be said!"
The old monk looked directly into Yu Qingli's eyes and said, "Female donor, I have something to say to you. Yesterday is gone, but the future can be pursued. Don't fall into it and cannot extricate yourself. The inner demon is the most terrifying. Fortunately, you have always been kind-hearted. God is merciful, and your wish will always be fulfilled."
"Thank you, master!"
"Master has given his instructions. Shouldn't we go in too?"
The old monk smiled and let the two in. Murong Yanhui's face looked a little better. He burned incense with Yu Qingli and then came down from Lover's Mountain.
It was already evening when I returned to the inn. I asked the inn waiter if anything big had happened in the city. I learned that Tang Yi insisted on leaving the city with a team of guards. The Emperor of Dong Tang was furious about this and issued three imperial edicts asking Tang Yi to return to the palace. However, it was said that the prince had not returned yet.
So the ministers in the court, including the common people, all speculated what kind of treasure was lost in the court that made the prince so angry that he was determined to find it himself.
Back in the room, Murong Yanhui's face turned sour. He angrily said, "He's really the thief crying thief! It was clearly him who brought you back to Dong Tang without permission, and now he's issuing a wanted order. How shameless!"
"Why are you so angry with him? I've been rescued now, haven't I? As long as we can get through a few days smoothly, we can leave the city."
Murong Yanhui's anger subsided a little, but he still felt a little guilty. If he had not been selfish that day, there would not have been so many troubles in the future.
The night gradually deepened, and Changkong and Xiluo went out to keep watch early. Although Yu Qingli felt that they didn't need to be so cautious with Murong Yanhui here, Murong Yanhui thought it was better to be cautious in everything. He had been afraid for a long time, always worried that Yu Qingli would disappear from his side if he was not careful.
Red candles flickered in the room. Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli sat on the edge of the bed, but neither of them was sleepy. The deep affection in each other's eyes made people sink into it. Perhaps it was the names engraved on the Lover's Stone today that really worked, or perhaps the atmosphere at this moment was too charming. So, no one knew who started it first, but when they came to their senses, they were already kissing each other passionately.
"Prince, please give me a child." When she was moved, Yu Qingli whispered in Murong Yanhui's ear.
Murong Yanhui replied cheerfully, "Not to mention one, even if it's five or ten, I'll give them all to you!"
So the two of them extinguished the red candles, lowered the curtains, and entangled with each other in the faint and hazy moonlight. The low singing made the two people who were guarding the door blush and feel extremely embarrassed.
Changkong coughed awkwardly and took the initiative to say, "Xiluo, you should go and rest first. I will take care of the night watch today."
After all, Xiluo was a woman with a thin skin, so she really couldn't do such a thing as eavesdropping. She immediately thanked him and fled, not noticing the deep affection in Changkong's eyes behind her.
Besides, the noise in the room didn't die down until dawn. Changkong, who was guarding the door, couldn't help but sigh, the prince is the prince, his fighting power is really amazing.
Just then, there was a "bang bang bang" knock on the door outside the inn, and the sound was so loud that it seemed as if it would break the door panel.
"Here it comes, here it comes, calling the soul so early in the morning!"
The waiter yawned as he went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, a long knife was placed across his neck. Then, a team of elite soldiers quickly surrounded the inn.
The waiter was so frightened that he almost lost control of his bladder. He fell to the ground with his calves trembling.
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a routine inspection by the government! If you mess up, I'll kill you!"
The waiter nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice, "Sir, please spare my life. I'm just a waiter and I haven't done anything wrong!"
Not long after, a man in gorgeous clothes walked in from the door. Although his face was as delicate as a woman's, his aura was not to be underestimated. Who else could it be but Tang Yi?
Tang Yi held Yu Qingli's portrait in his hand and said, "Let me ask you, have you seen the woman in this portrait in the past two days?"
The waiter shook his head repeatedly. Isn't that the woman on the wanted poster? A woman this beautiful would be easily remembered after just one glance.
Jian Ping on the side said sternly: "Don't lie!"
"Sir, how dare I lie when asked this question? I have never seen it."
Tang Yi thought for a moment and asked again, "Has there ever been a man and two women who came here in a hurry to stay overnight?"
The waiter thought about it and shook his head again, "Sir, the city has been under martial law these days, so there are not many people staying at the inn. If there was someone walking in such a hurry and looking strange, I would definitely notice him, but there is no one."
Tang Yi seemed a little unwilling and ordered people to call all the people in those rooms to report to the hall.
When the waiter opened the door, Changkong had already entered the room. Although Murong Yanhui and the other had just rested, they had already heard the noise outside and opened their eyes.
Fortunately, it was very easy for Yu Qingli to change her makeup. At the same time, Xiluo, who was awakened, got up quickly, jumped into Yu Qingli's room from the second-floor window, and helped Yu Qingli to wash and change clothes.
After everything was ready, Changkong and Xiluo climbed over to the window again, pretending to have just woken up and looking as if they were still deeply asleep.
When Murong Yanhui and they went downstairs, there were already quite a few people standing in the hall. After tossing and turning all night, Yu Qingli was extremely tired. Murong Yanhui simply held her horizontally, draped a large banner over her, and let her continue to sleep in his arms.
Yu Qingli was really tired. She knew she should be alert to deal with the inspection, but she couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Murong Yanhui was very satisfied with this. It seemed that Yu Qingli was very confident in him at this time.
The guests staying at the hotel were all grumbling with dissatisfaction. Being woken up so early in the morning was not a pleasant experience at all.
"Alright, alright, what are you all arguing about? If you delay the court's investigation, I'll kill you!"
Jian Ping shouted angrily, and those people no longer dared to complain, and their voices gradually became quieter. Looking at the current situation, some people present guessed something. They were afraid that the man in the lead was the Crown Prince who had been rumored everywhere in recent days.
