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

Chapter 282: Keep the green hills alive

"I don't want to." Yu Qingli walked to the door and opened it. "Qingli wants to rest. Your Highness Prince Yan should leave quickly. Don't tarnish Qingli's innocence."

The anger in Murong Yanhui's eyes flashed away, and he said to himself: "I just ordered someone to pass a note to him."

Yu Qingli continued to stand by the door stubbornly and said, "Your Highness Prince Yan, please return!"

"There was only one sentence written on the paper: 'As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.'" Murong Yanhui continued to talk to himself.

Yu Qingli continued stubbornly, "Your Highness Prince Yan, please go back!"

"Murong Cheng is such a fool! His Majesty has already promised him that if he takes a fancy to a girl from another family, he only needs to tell her and he will marry that girl instead. But he is so stubborn and insists that His Majesty revoke the promise. I wonder if his head has been stuck in the door."

"Your Highness Prince Yan, please return!"

Murong Yanhui finally couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up, "Yu Qingli, you..."

Murong Yanhui's words stopped when he saw Yu Qingli's clear eyes. Yu Qingli looked away and said coldly: "If Your Highness Prince Yan is really doing this for Qingli's good, please go back."

Murong Yanhui stared at Yu Qingli for a moment, then flicked his sleeves and said angrily, "Just go! Do you think I'm willing to come?"

Murong Yanhui said this and strode out of Yu Qingli's room, saying as he walked: "Murong Yue, next time you have such boring things, don't bother me!"

Murong Yue squatted outside the door and listened helplessly. She sighed deeply as she watched Murong Yanhui leave.

Father, you are so stupid. You can’t even catch up with my mother. How can I feel at ease?

Obviously, Yu Qingli had already noticed the rustling sounds outside the door. From what she heard through the wall, it seemed that Murong Yue was taking advantage of her improved attitude towards him in recent days, so she got a little carried away, right?

"Murong Yue, aren't you sleeping yet?" Yu Qingli's call interrupted Murong Yue's thoughts. He immediately stood up and ran into Yu Qingli's room.

"Mom, can you be a little gentler next time? You were so unlovable just now." Murong Yue whispered while wrapped in the quilt.

Yu Qingli didn't even look at him, and just said lightly, "Why don't you and Meihong go to bed tomorrow?"

Murong Yue fell silent immediately after hearing this, curled up into a small ball and hid in the corner of the bed, drawing circles.

My sinister mother and foolish father, what sin have I committed?

Seeing Murong Yue falling into a deep sleep in a short while, Yu Qingli was no longer sleepy at all. She tucked the corner of the quilt for Murong Yue, stood up and walked to the window.

Recalling what Murong Yan had just said, a confident smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Yu Qingli's lips.

His Majesty actually promised Murong Cheng that he could change his surname? This time, perhaps she really had to meddle in other people's affairs.

Firstly, to repay the harm she had done to Murong Cheng in her previous life, and secondly, naturally for herself, Yu Zhengsha's intention to arrange for Yu Zhenzhen to enter the palace, how could she not know it if others didn't know it? How could she possibly let Yu Zhengsha be satisfied?

"Xiluo, I know you are here."

As soon as Yu Qingli finished speaking, she saw Xiluo slowly walking out from the darkness in the corner with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Now that I've heard enough about this, it's time to get back to work." Yu Qingli said calmly, "Tomorrow, find a reason to come out of the palace with me. Remember, it's just you and me."

Xiluo laughed when he heard this, but asked, "Why me?"

"Because this is your responsibility!" Yu Qingli said, closed the window and went to bed.

Murong Cheng tossed and turned all night and only fell into a drowsy sleep in the early hours of the morning. However, he was soon awakened from his light sleep. In his dream, Liu Jinghong rushed towards him covered in blood, and kept saying that he had hurt her.

When Murong Cheng came to his senses, he felt cold sweat all over his body.

The imperial family was ruthless, their methods cruel. If he refused to agree to the marriage, would his father really take action against Jinghong? But did he really have to abandon Jinghong? Or, should he relegate Jinghong to the second wife?

A series of thoughts swirled in Murong Cheng's mind, but he denied them one by one. The heaven and earth could bear witness to his true love for Liu Jinghong. He had once sworn that he would only marry Jinghong in this life.

A trace of determination suddenly flashed in Murong Cheng's confused eyes, and he threw off the quilt and got out of bed.

The young eunuch had been waiting for a long time and ran in upon hearing the noise. "Your Highness, today's breakfast..."

"No need to eat anymore. Change into casual clothes and follow me out of the palace." After saying this, Murong Cheng started to change his clothes himself.

The young eunuch had been with Murong Cheng for a long time, so seeing him like this, he naturally knew where he was going. He quickly glanced out the window and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the imperial edict will be announced at the morning court today. Are you still leaving the palace?"

Murong Cheng frowned and remained silent for a while. He looked up at the clear sky outside the door and said lightly, "Go out!"

There was no conversation along the way, and Murong Cheng arrived at Jinghong Music House.

It was early morning and the music hall had not yet opened for business, so it was extremely quiet.

Murong Cheng got off the carriage and walked around to the backyard with ease. As soon as his figure disappeared around the corner of the yard, Xiluo turned back to the carriage parked outside the music hall, "Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really arrived."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted in response. Yu Qingli glanced at the backyard and said calmly, "Let's go down and prepare to watch the show."

"What drama?"

"Maybe it's The Peacock Flies Southeast, or maybe it's Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, who knows."

"Why can't it be a beautiful full moon?"

"Have you ever seen flowers always in bloom and the moon always full?"

"..."

In the backyard of Jinghong Music House, on the corridor of the second-floor building, there was a person leaning on the ground. She was wearing a purple dress, and her long hair was not tied up, but let it hang down on her shoulders, which made her temperament like a swan and her skin whiter than snow even more prominent.

Her eyes were fixed on the void, as if she was deep in thought about something, or as if she was leaning against the window waiting for someone, and she didn't even notice Murong Cheng's arrival.

Looking at Liu Jinghong's empty eyes, Murong Cheng's heart ached slightly. He called softly, "Jinghong." The voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the banished fairy.

The woman on the top of the building lowered her head when she heard the voice, and her empty eyes gradually came into focus. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her lips. She ran down the stairs in two or three steps and threw herself into Murong Cheng's arms, resting her forehead on Murong Cheng's chest. She could hear Murong Cheng's strong heartbeat in her ears, and Liu Jinghong felt that her heart was settled all of a sudden.

"What's wrong?" Murong Cheng was both happy and worried. Liu Jinghong had always been calm and composed. Even when he was moved, he would act with courtesy. There had never been such a proactive moment.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong realized she had lost her composure and quickly pushed Murong Cheng away, straightened up, and smoothed down her messy hair before softly replying, "It's nothing. I just had a scary dream last night, and seeing you again today, I still feel like I'm still in a dream."

Murong Cheng laughed when he heard this, "Silly girl, how can you take something in a dream seriously?"

As Murong Cheng spoke, the image of Liu Jinghong covered in blood appeared in his mind again, and his eyes suddenly became dim.

"Jinghong, you once asked me if I would like to travel around the world with you." Murong Cheng suddenly spoke softly. Liu Jinghong looked at him seriously and couldn't help but calm down.

"Today I answer you, I am willing. I am willing to travel the world with you and give up everything." Murong Cheng grabbed Liu Jinghong's hand, "Jinghong, it's my turn to ask you, are you willing to leave with me?"

Liu Jinghong's eyes were filled with surprise and joy, but she was considerate enough to see the anxiety in Murong Cheng's eyes. She thought for a moment and asked, "What happened?"

This extremely gentle greeting touched the most vulnerable part of Murong Cheng's heart.

He frowned immediately, let go of Liu Jinghong without saying a word, and faced the rockery.

"What happened? Is there someone who covets your position as crown prince and is trying to frame you?" Liu Jinghong was anxious. When had the usually gentle and refined Murong Cheng ever been so anxious?

"What are you thinking? It's not true." Murong Cheng turned his back to Liu Jinghong, quickly adjusted his mentality, and turned to look at Liu Jinghong again, "I'm just tired of all these intrigues and deceptions. I want to be with you and do whatever we want."

"Really?" Liu Jinghong's eyes flashed, and he said seriously, "Murong Cheng, when did you actually start lying?"

"I..." Murong Cheng finally said in frustration, "My father wants to grant me a marriage with the second daughter of Prime Minister Yu. The decree will be announced at the morning court today!"

"Ah?" Liu Jinghong suddenly felt dizzy. She dejectedly took a few steps back and hurriedly reached out to hold on to the stone table beside her. Her long hair was loose, covering most of her body, but one could still see her trembling uncontrollably.

Liu Jinghong gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back her tears. Murong Cheng was the crown prince, and she had never coveted the position of crown princess, but she had never thought that His Majesty would arrange a marriage for Murong Cheng so early.

The sudden news was like a thunderclap that shattered all her fantasies.

After all, we can't be together.

Liu Jinghong thought about it, tears silently flowing down her face. Murong Cheng was startled, and reached out to hug Liu Jinghong tightly, saying anxiously: "Jinghong, Jinghong, don't be sad, you have to believe me, I, Murong Cheng, only have you in my heart in this life. I will not accept the marriage that my father has arranged. Let's go, leave now, and leave Canghe. I don't believe that there is no place for us in this vast world!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong forcefully pushed Murong Cheng away. She looked at him with a sorrowful expression and slowly said, "Murong Cheng, what are you talking about? Do you really think we can escape Canghe? I'm afraid we'll be caught before we even leave the Imperial Capital."

Liu Jinghong looked at the man she loved deeply, and saw that he was willing to give up everything for her and flee to the ends of the earth with her. She felt that this life was enough.

She couldn't harm him. He was the crown prince and might become the emperor of Canghe in the future. She loved him, so she couldn't selfishly take him away.

Liu Jinghong thought about it for a long time and finally made a decision.
