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

Chapter 271 Smallpox or Poisoning

Xiluo led the way in front. Originally, according to Yu Qingli's instructions, Xiluo quietly went to Anle Palace to inform Murong Yanhui. Unexpectedly, Murong Yanhui was very excited after hearing that Murong Yue was ill. He didn't care about anything else and came here directly with Xiluo.

Xiluo was secretly worried, hoping that he wouldn't bring any trouble to the young lady.

After entering the hall, Murong Yanhui entered Murong Yue's room under the guidance of Xiluo without even having time to announce anything.

Murong Feng looked up and saw Murong Yan, who was looking anxious. He replied, "The young uncle is here..."

Murong Yanhui's appearance made Murong Feng feel a little relieved, but Yu Qingli was still nervous and worried. She was really worried about the child.

"How's Yue'er?"

Murong Yanhui asked anxiously, and then saw Murong Yue lying on the bed very weakly.

"Yue'er..."

Murong Yanhui was about to step forward when Murong Feng stopped him, saying, "Little Uncle, this child has smallpox. Your Highness would be better off not getting close to him, lest you get infected."

Murong Yanhui, however, acted as if he hadn't heard anything and took a few steps forward. He walked to Murong Yue's bedside and reached out to hold her small hand. "Yue'er, your father is here. You must be brave and get better soon!"

Murong Yanhui's expression was very sad. Looking at Murong Yanhui like this, Yu Qingli felt a little guilty for some reason.

Yu Qingli said: "I'm sorry, it was my negligence, I didn't notice..."

"Lili, you don't have to apologize. It's none of your business." Although Murong Yanhui was anxious, he still comforted Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli took a step forward and wanted to look at Murong Yue, but her wrist was tightly held by Murong Feng, "Qingli..."

Yu Qingli struggled to pull her hand out of Murong Feng's grasp, "Your Highness, it's okay. Smallpox isn't that easily contagious."

"Lili, you'd better not come over." Murong Yanhui suddenly spoke, but his eyes never left Murong Yue. "I had smallpox when I was a child. I heard from the imperial physician that once you have this disease, you won't get it again. As for you, you'd better be careful. You all go out first, I'll take care of Yue'er."

Yu Qingli was about to say something, but Murong Feng beside her took over and said, "That's fine. If little uncle needs anything, just let me know. You're welcome."

Murong Yanhui waved for them to leave. Yu Qingli felt inexplicably conflicted. She clearly wanted to stay and accompany the child, but she seemed to have no right to do so, especially now that Murong Feng was present.

"Meihong, Qinghe, the rest of you stay here and serve. If anything happens, please report it to me at any time."

Murong Feng gave the order gently, and several maids responded. Only Meihong felt a little unhappy, especially when she saw Murong Feng holding Yu Qingli's hand, she felt an inexplicable unwillingness in her heart.

Why? Why were all the promises made during their time together now gone to waste? Didn't the eldest prince say he had no feelings for the young lady? Why did they seem so affectionate now?

She really can't accept it!

Murong Feng pulled Yu Qingli out of the ward. Yu Qingli still had a worried look on her face, and she just let Murong Feng pull her back to her room.

When I came to my senses, I was already sitting on the bed with Murong Feng.

"Qingli, are you still worried about that child?"

Yu Qingli nodded without denying it, "Your Highness, although that child is a bit annoying on weekdays, seeing him lying there now makes me feel a little uncomfortable for some reason."

Murong Feng felt increasingly unhappy. After a brief pause, he put his arm around Yu Qingli's shoulders and consoled her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Didn't the young uncle just say that he also had smallpox when he was a child? Maybe this child can get through it too."

Yu Qingli lowered her brows. Facing Murong Feng's comfort, she felt her mood getting heavier. How could she question him? They once had a lovely child, but the child died before he could even see the world properly.

Yu Qingli clenched her fists tightly and hid them in her sleeves. Her body trembled with hatred. She tried hard to suppress and control her desire to kill Murong Feng.

As if sensing that something was wrong with Yu Qingli, Murong Feng asked curiously, "Qingli, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, it's getting late. Your Highness, please rest first. I'll go out for some fresh air."

Yu Qingli ignored Murong Feng's unhappy expression and walked out of the room.

The night was as cool as water, and there were unexpectedly many stars in the sky. The cool breeze of the autumn night had been tainted with the frost of winter, making people feel even colder.

Yu Qingli half-leaned on the corridor, looked up at the deep night, felt breathless, and her heart seemed to be pressed by a huge stone. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God would not be so cruel as to deprive a child of his life so suddenly.

Her shoulders suddenly sank, and a huge cloak fell on her shoulders. Yu Qingli turned her head and saw Murong Feng's gentle face. "Qingli, the night wind is creepy, be careful not to catch a cold."

Yu Qingli bowed her head, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Murong Feng took the opportunity to hold her hand and said, "Why bother talking about this between you and me?"

Yu Qingli remained silent, feeling somewhat bewildered. Why had Murong Feng been so cruel to her in her previous life, not even sparing their child? Was it because of Mei Hong's instigation?

"Why does His Highness like me?" Yu Qingli suddenly asked, "Prime Minister Yu has more than one daughter. Moreover, although I am the eldest daughter of the Yu family, I am not valued by the Prime Minister..."

Murong Feng's voice drifted in with the night breeze. "Yes, why? In fact, I myself am not quite sure. Compared to you, Yu Zhenzhen is indeed more suitable to be my concubine. But from the moment I saw you in Luoyang two years ago, I decided that if a woman must be in the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, that person can only be you!"

These tender and sweet words would have definitely moved Yu Qingli deeply in her previous life, but today, Yu Qingli knew clearly that except for the fact that Yu Zhenzhen was more suitable to be the prince's consort than her, the rest were just perfunctory words.

But she was also very confused. What was the real reason why Murong Feng married her?

A thought flashed through Yu Qingli's mind. Could it be that Murong Feng already knew about that matter?

Yu Qingli suddenly remembered what her mother said to her when she called her into the room the day before she died. Could it be that besides her mother and herself, there was someone else who knew that secret?

A person's name slowly emerged in Yu Qingli's mind, it was the Queen!

How could she forget? Since her mother knew the secret, how could Queen Li, her sister, not know it?

That's it!

Yu Qingli couldn't help but feel a little sad when she understood the truth. It turned out that from the very beginning, Murong Feng had been thinking of using her. Perhaps even he himself had not thought that she would be able to help him sit on the throne in the future.

"Qingli, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel that God is really unfair. Murong Yue is such a young child, and yet she has to suffer from illness."

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of human nature. There's nothing to be sad about. Besides, that child was just an adopted son by the young uncle on a whim. Perhaps he was destined to be unable to endure the wealth and splendor of the royal family, which is why he fell ill."

Murong Feng's tone was very gentle, but his words were very cold. Yu Qingli sighed inwardly, wondering why she was attracted to such a person in her previous life? She even paid a terrible price for it.

Sure enough, it's still too superficial and too stupid, right?

"Okay, Qingli, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Murong Feng's tone began to sound a little impatient. He was in a good mood today and even wanted to complete their unfinished wedding night, but the repeated situations made his mood start to become a little worse.

"Miss, it's bad! The young master is vomiting blood! The prince is furious and wants to kill the imperial physician!"

Just when Murong Feng was about to pull Yu Qingli into the room, Mei Hong's voice rang out again, making Yu Qingli feel relieved. This Mei Hong appeared at a really good time. Could it be that she always hid in the dark and observed secretly, and then found the right time to appear?

Murong Feng had a face full of resentment, and even the look he gave Mei Hong was tinged with cruelty, which frightened Mei Hong so much that her heart tightened, and she stood there trembling, not daring to raise her head.

"Your Highness, let's go over and take a look. If someone dies, it might be a problem."

Thinking of Murong Yanhui's personality, Murong Feng didn't dare to delay any longer and just said, "Okay, you go first, I'll come later."

Yu Qingli ran towards the room in a hurry as if she had been granted amnesty. She didn't have time to care about Murong Feng's mood. When she heard that Murong Yue was vomiting blood, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. She had never heard of people with smallpox vomiting blood.

Is it a misdiagnosis?

After Yu Qingli left, Murong Feng walked up to Mei Hong who was standing still and grabbed her neck with his hands.

"Bitch, did you do this on purpose?"

The sudden feeling of suffocation made Mei Hong speechless. Tears welled up in her eyes and she could only shake her head continuously. Of course she knew what Murong Feng was talking about. He appeared at the most inappropriate time every time, as if he wanted to deliberately destroy the relationship between Murong Feng and Yu Qingli.

Murong Feng stared at Mei Hong's face for a long time. Her tearful look made him feel a little hesitant to do anything.

"You damned bitch, you've only slept with me a few times and you've gotten carried away. Now, I'm warning you today. If you do it again, I won't let you off lightly!"

After saying this, Murong Feng suddenly let go of Mei Hong and walked away!
