Chapter 341 The Prince’s Sorrow
Chapter 341 The Prince’s Sorrow
Yu Qingli paused when she saw Murong Yanhui like this, and she felt vaguely moved in her heart. It turned out that this person could be so serious sometimes?
I don’t know what Murong Yanhui was thinking. He didn’t even hear Yu Qingli and the others come in. He just kept staring at the maple leaf in his hand, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Yu Qingli suddenly became curious and motioned Xiluo to keep quiet. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Murong Yanhui, blocking the setting sun in front of him. "Your Highness Prince Yan, are you changing your style and planning to act profound? Unfortunately... this doesn't seem to suit you very well!"
Murong Yan looked back up, and was a little surprised when he saw Yu Qingli's beautiful face. The next second, he had already
Reach out and hold her in your arms.
Yu Qingli was horrified. Not to mention that it was broad daylight, even at night, there were spies everywhere in the palace. If someone spread this matter, both of them would be dead.
When she came to her senses, Yu Qingli's face had already turned as red as a ripe tomato. She didn't know if it was because of shyness or anger, but then she thought about it again. What was she thinking just now? She wasn't angry at the behavior of the person in front of her, but was worried that this matter would not be known to others.
What on earth is this kind of thinking that puts the cart before the horse? It's horrible!
Before Yu Qingli was about to lose her temper, Murong Yanhui had already let go of Yu Qingli. The sudden feeling of emptiness made Yu Qingli savor the warmth and fulfillment she had just felt.
After two lifetimes, her heart fell in love again so quickly. It was clear that all the revenge had just begun, and even the success or failure was unknown.
"Sorry, I...I lost my composure today."
Upon hearing this, Yu Qingli looked at Murong Yanhui in front of her in surprise. It seemed that this person's mood was indeed a little wrong today.
Yu Qingli asked in a low voice: "Murong Yanhui, are you in a bad mood today?"
Murong Yanhui lowered her eyes and did not answer. Then she looked up at the setting sun on the horizon and said, "There's nothing good or bad about it. Isn't every day the same?"
Murong Yanhui's tone was dull, which made people feel an indescribable sense of depression, especially Yu Qingli, who was used to his unruly side. This slightly sad Murong Yanhui really made Yu Qingli uncomfortable.
She frowned slightly. "I thought, at least, we were friends, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. It turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan didn't mean to treat me as a friend."
As Yu Qingli spoke, she turned and walked out of the hall, "Xiluo, let's go."
Xiluo, who was not far away, saw all this, but didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, at this time, a big hand had already clasped Yu Qingli's hand again. When Yu Qingli turned her head, she saw a pair of bright eyes. The depth in the eyes was like a vortex, which made people unable to refuse.
"Lili, can you accompany me for a while today?"
Yu Qingli's eyes met Murong Yanhui's, and in an instant, she saw the fragility in that person's eyes. Although this word would never be associated with Murong Yanhui in Yu Qingli's opinion before, at this moment, she truly felt the emotions from the person in front of her.
It was an expression she had never seen before, fragile, sad, and with a hint of trust and dependence on herself.
Murong Yanhui was such a person that he couldn't refuse at all.
There were twinkling lights in those beautiful phoenix eyes, as bright as the stars in the night sky.
"it is good!"
For some unknown reason, Yu Qingli agreed.
Xiluo also went out to stand guard immediately. Her intuition told her that the master and the lady must have a lot to talk about.
Yu Qingli sat down next to Murong Yanhui and said, "Go ahead!"
"Lili, I'm afraid you've also heard about Concubine Qing's situation. After investigating, I discovered that she's been very close to the Empress Dowager lately, even treating her as her new master. The day before yesterday, she actually asked to be transferred to Cixin Palace. For this reason, I made a special trip to Cixin Palace."
Yu Qingli did not interrupt him. It seemed that his loss and sadness came from Aunt Qing who had served him for quite some time. However, a servant who would betray his master was not worth lingering on no matter how long they had been together, just like Mei Hong.
If Murong Yanhui couldn't even see this clearly and couldn't let go, then she really looked down on him!
"Lili, you may not know that to me, Aunt Qing is more than just a servant. She's like a family member to me. When I was still young, she was the one who protected me from the wind and rain. When I was confused and helpless, she was always by my side. I always thought that if there was someone in this world who could replace my mother, it would definitely be Aunt Qing. But I never expected..."
Murong Yanhui was at a loss for words. He was not a pretentious person and had never had such an experience before. He was used to covering up and disguising himself. Now he was not used to carefully analyzing his true emotions in front of a woman. However, he did not hate it either. After all, the woman in front of him was the one he had decided to spend his life with.
Yu Qingli's eyes turned cold. Being betrayed by someone you trusted was indeed unpleasant. She knew this all too well! However, now she thought that she was betrayed only because she had given the other person such an opportunity. If it was her fault, then she was also the one who made the biggest mistake.
He gave Mei Hong a chance, believed in and forgave her again and again, and even after knowing the affair between her and Murong Feng, he endured the pain in his heart and let her follow Murong Feng.
What an idiot!
"So? What is the prince going to do?"
Yu Qingli didn't think that Murong Yanhui was such a person who couldn't bear the blow. Since he told her about this matter, he obviously had his own plans, and maybe he had even made a decision.
"The one who understands me is Lili!"
Murong Yanhui's expression brightened slightly. The confusion in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of indifference. "Since she wants to leave, why should I force her? It's just that after so many years of master-servant relationship, it still couldn't withstand the other temptations in this harem. It's really sad."
"That's fine. If someone's body is physically present but their heart is not, wouldn't that be even more devastating?"
"makes sense!"
Murong Yanhui threw away the maple leaf in his hand. It was strange to say, but he felt more and more that this empress dowager was different from the empress dowager he had known before, but he couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.
But were the red maples that had suddenly been planted in Cixin Hall just because Concubine Qing was coming over? If he remembered correctly, this was one of his mother's favorite trees. After his mother's death, it had become Concubine Qing's favorite. Could it be that the Queen Mother had actually invested so much money to win over Concubine Qing?
After all, she was just a servant, so why did she need to be so attentive? Or was it that the Queen Mother went to such great lengths to get Concubine Qing away in order to deal with her?
A bad thought flashed through Murong Yanhui's mind. From the moment he knew that Concubine Qing was colluding with the Queen Mother, he had already prepared himself for her betrayal. Fortunately, apart from those things that happened when they were young, she didn't know much of his secrets over the years, but...
Murong Yanhui glanced at Yu Qingli, and the worry in his eyes was obvious!
"Your Highness is worried that Aunt Qing will expose my previous identity as Yu Liuli?"
Murong Yan looked back at him with a burning gaze. How could his Lili be so clever? She could expose his little tricks.
Seeing that Murong Yan didn't answer and had an embarrassed look on her face as if she had been guessed, Yu Qingli couldn't help but smile. It seemed that it was a good feeling to have someone care about her.
"If she dares to do that, I will definitely make sure her body is gone!"
Murong Yanhui's voice was very calm, without that kind of deliberate ferocity and indifference, but it made Yu Qingli terrified. It turned out that this man could kill someone so calmly!
"Then I really have to thank you, Your Majesty!"
A smile appeared on Yu Qingli's lips. The smile was very sincere and heartwarming. She was really happy. After all, it was a good feeling to have someone who cared about her so much!
Looking at the smiling face in front of him, Murong Yanhui's unhappiness gradually dissipated. It made sense. Apart from Lili, what else in this world was worth his care?
Aunt Qing may have her own reasons for betraying Yu Qingli, but if she wants to hurt Yu Qingli, don't blame him for being cruel!
"Miss! Someone's coming!"
Xiluo's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the harmonious atmosphere.
Yu Qingli stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave!"
Yu Qingli left decisively. A moment later, a man in white appeared in front of Murong Yanhui. "Prince Yan, how are you?"
"Baili? Why are you here?"
"What? Did I come at the wrong time and disturb His Highness and the beauty from expressing their feelings to each other?" Baili Changjue teased.
Murong Yanhui surprisingly didn't retort to her friend's teasing. She simply raised her eyebrows slightly and said in an infuriating tone, "Are you envious? What a pity, that's all you can do!"
"..." Baili Chang was speechless. This Murong Yanhui really didn't want to suffer any loss at all.
Seeing her friend frustrated, Murong Yanhui twitched her lips slightly and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly come to the palace to look for me?"
"I'm not really looking for you. Your brother sent someone to bring me a message saying that Concubine Yu is homesick and has sent someone to the palace."
"Oh? What's going on?"
"It's because someone in the harem brought up an old matter and started to doubt Concubine Yu's identity, so His Majesty asked me to come and clarify the matter."
"These women really don't mind the hassles they go through all day long."
Murong Yanhui's tone was clearly unfriendly and a bit impatient.
"That's right, especially since this matter seems to be targeting your beauty."
