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

Chapter 329: Enemies in the Dark (2)

Trying hard to control her inner emotions, Yu Qingli said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If you are tired, just rest early. I am not too tired yet."

Murong Feng frowned, sat down in front of Yu Qingli, and waved his hand, signaling Meihong and Xiluo to leave first.

Both of them were a little hesitant, but the former was concerned about Murong Feng, while the latter was concerned about Yu Qingli.

Seeing that neither Xiluo nor Meihong moved, Murong Feng's face turned cold and he said sternly, "What? Are my words no longer effective?"

Mei Hong then left the tent first, and Xiluo also left after looking at Yu Qingli.

After the two maids left, Murong Feng spoke gently, "Qingli, I think we need to have a good talk."

Yu Qingli raised her eyes, her gaze was calm. Her dark eyes were like a deep well, holding an inexplicable temptation that moved Murong Feng's expression.

Looking at Murong Feng's strange eyes, Yu Qingli sneered secretly. In her previous life, he had looked at her like this before, but it was all just acting. Or perhaps, although it was not acting, the novelty only lasted for a few months, and then the look he gave her was filled with indifference.

So, when seeing Murong Feng's eyes again, Yu Qingli only felt irony and disgust!

However, Murong Feng did not see her unhappiness, and simply said, "Your Highness, what do you want to discuss with me?"

"Qingli, do you...have someone else in your heart?"

Yu Qingli sneered inwardly. Was this the thief crying "stop thief"? After he and Mei Hong had sex for who knows how many times, he actually came to ask if she had someone else in her heart. How ridiculous.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingli curled her lips and smiled lightly, "Your Highness, this is a very interesting question. So, Your Highness, why don't you tell me how you know that I have someone else in my heart?"

"Isn't it? Qingli, how long has it been since you called me Brother Feng?"

Yu Qingli looked up at him with a dark look in her eyes, then pretended to be depressed and said, "So Your Highness still cares about such a trivial matter?"

"Qingli, are you blaming me for not paying attention to you recently?" Murong Feng felt a little happy when he heard this. Could it be that he had been wrong all along? The reason why Yu Qingli was cold to him was just because she was jealous?

"How dare I blame Your Highness? Your Highness has a special status, so naturally you are busier than others. I know this."

Yu Qingli's tone was very light, which made Murong Feng feel indescribable heartache. He couldn't help but put his arm around Yu Qingli's shoulders. This time, Yu Qingli did not reject him. Murong Feng was secretly happy. It seemed that he had misunderstood Yu Qingli before. This woman had always liked him, but she seemed to be sulking for some reason.

Looking at Yu Qingli's delicate face, Murong Feng felt a little guilty. Come to think of it, he had been so busy hanging out with Mei Hong these days that he had no time to care about Yu Qingli. So, it made sense that she was dissatisfied with him.

What's more, the figure that flashed by when he had a secret meeting with Mei Hong that day might have been Yu Qingli, but she had never mentioned it during these days, making him think that his suspicion was wrong. After all, which woman would tolerate her husband messing around with other women?

However, looking at the current situation, perhaps Yu Qingli is just used to forbearing, or perhaps she has long wanted to confront herself, but just doesn't know how to say it.

Thinking of this, Murong Feng tightened his grip and felt a little sorry for the woman in front of him. However, if she had not rejected him on their wedding night and had not refused his touch in every possible way afterwards, how could things between them have turned out like this?

Yu Qingli had no idea what Murong Feng was thinking, so she could only let him hold her with her body stiff. She felt an indescribable disgust in her heart, and was thinking about how to get out of her current situation.

Suddenly, a message flashed through Yu Qingli's mind. Perhaps, she could use it!

Pushing Murong Feng's hand away without leaving a trace, Yu Qingli said, "Your Highness, it's funny to say this. I heard a rumor when I came to the enclosure today. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Oh, tell me."

"I heard... someone wants to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here..."

Before Yu Qingli finished speaking, Murong Feng's expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly, staring at Yu Qingli with cold eyes, "Where did you hear that?"

Yu Qingli smiled slightly and said calmly, "Your Highness, you're surprised too, right? But this is too funny. The enclosure is heavily guarded. Not to mention assassins, even a mosquito wouldn't be able to get in, right?"

Looking at Yu Qingli's sweet smile, Murong Feng felt mixed emotions. Who leaked this news? Or was Yu Qingli just testing him?

Glancing at Yu Qingli with a complicated expression, Murong Feng hurriedly ordered, "It's getting late, Qingli, you should go to bed early. It's a bit stuffy in this tent. I'm going out to get some fresh air."

Seeing Murong Feng walking out in a panic, Yu Qingli couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips coldly. Sure enough, the things in the previous life would still happen, and it seemed that Murong Feng wanted to take over Murong City in one fell swoop.

Humph! With Yu Qingli around, he couldn't expect anything to go smoothly! She wanted him to rely on her, to depend on her, to make him crawl on the ground and beg for mercy one day, just like she did back then!

Whenever she thought of this, Yu Qingli felt an indescribable feeling in her heart, as if her blood was roaring and boiling.

Murong Feng left the tent and came to a secluded place. He whispered, "Come out!"

A middle-aged man appeared in front of him, knelt on one knee, and saluted politely, "Master."

"Qiu Hen, go check something immediately. Besides the few people in the Anbu, who else knows about the mission I assigned to you?"

"Yes! I will do it now."

Qiu Hen didn't leave immediately after he finished speaking. Murong Feng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Anything else?"

"Master, has the mission been leaked?"

"It's not really a leak. It's probably just some rumors that are detrimental to the operation. That's why I asked you to investigate! Remember, don't miss any details!"

"My subordinate understands!"

Murong Feng finally felt relieved, but he was still a little worried. Since Yu Qingli had heard the rumor, there was no guarantee that others wouldn't have heard it. Maybe even the Crown Prince..." Murong Feng didn't continue, but said coldly, "Alright, go check it out!"

"Yes!"

When Murong Feng returned to the tent, most of the candles inside had been extinguished. Xiluo stood dutifully by the side. When he saw Murong Feng come in, he just nodded slightly to say hello. Meihong had already returned to her own tent.

Murong Feng walked in, but saw Xiluo's eyes following him. He couldn't help but smile gently, "It's getting late, you should go and get some rest too. I remember your name is Xiluo?"

Xiluo's expression changed almost inaudibly. Looking at the increasingly gentle expression of the hypocritical man in front of her, she just found it ridiculous. Could it be that he wanted to win over her by using the same method he used against Meihong?

Although she thought so in her heart, Xiluo did not show it on her face. She just said politely, "No need. I am not tired!"

"There are heavy soldiers guarding this place, why would a little maid like you need to worry about it?"

"Your Highness is right. I was just worried that the young lady would get up in the middle of the night and want to drink water but couldn't find anyone. The young lady is used to having someone around to serve her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep well."

Xiluo's tone was still neither humble nor arrogant, but it made Murong Feng squint his eyes involuntarily. This Xiluo was becoming more and more like Yu Qingli. Could it be that she would become like the master she followed?

This is not entirely correct. Mei Hong has been with Yu Qingli for quite some time, but she doesn't have any of Yu Qingli's spiritual energy.

The little girl in front of him was quite interesting. If she could become his, then with Yu Qingli's trust in her, it would obviously be much easier for him to monitor Yu Qingli. This Yu Qingli now made him look at her with more respect.

"Xiluo, leave the care of Qingli to me. You go down and rest first."

"Your Highness, this is inappropriate. You are a great prince, how can you do such a humble thing as keeping watch? Moreover, if the young lady knew about this, I am afraid she would blame me. Please don't do this."

Xiluo's words were sincere and heartfelt, like a truly timid girl, and Murong Feng could not say no.

It seems that Xiluo is not as easy to deal with as Meihong!

Murong Feng thought so in his heart and did not intend to continue testing. After all, he already knew one thing: this maid was loyal to Yu Qingli and had no intention of betraying her.

What a hassle!

Murong Feng left the tent with a frown, and Xiluo finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, she had successfully driven him away, and at least she would not disturb the young lady.

Thinking this in her heart, Xiluo turned her head and saw Yu Qingli looking at her with a pair of phoenix eyes that seemed to be smiling. "Miss, are you awake? It seems that I have disturbed you after all."

Yu Qingli looked at Xiluo for a while, then said, "It's okay, Xiluo, you did very well."

Xiluo was a little confused. Although she was praised, she didn't know why the praise came from?

Yu Qingli just smiled but said nothing. In fact, she had woken up the moment Murong Feng walked in. Listening to what Murong Feng said to Xiluo, she had already guessed something in her heart, but she didn't expect Murong Feng to have such thoughts.

But it makes sense. With a woman like Mei Hong as his role model, Murong Feng, as the eldest prince, must be full of confidence in himself. However, it seems that things are not going very smoothly. Perhaps Murong Feng forgot that Xiluo was originally Murong Yanhui's person.
