Chapter 268 The Prince Who is Cold on the Outside but Warm on the Inside

Almost in an instant, Yu Qingli felt a tightening around her waist, and a warm breath lingered in her ears, bringing with it a tingling sensation that she was very familiar with, making her involuntarily nervous.

Then, Yu Qingli heard the sound of flower pots breaking and a low groan. When she came to her senses, she found that Murong Yanhui had embraced her in his arms, and it was Murong Yanhui's body that was smashing on the flower pots.

"Little Uncle!" A scream almost pierced Yu Qingli's eardrums, and then a fiery red figure appeared in front of Yu Qingli.

Murong Yuan roughly pulled Yu Qingli away from Murong Yanhui and said coldly, "You lowly woman, don't defile the young emperor's uncle!"

As she spoke, Murong Yuan was about to reach out to pull Murong Yan back, but she found that he had already stood up from the ground, and even carefully pulled up Yu Qingli and Murong Yue. The tenderness in his eyes burst out at that moment, and just a glance made Yu Qingli feel like she was about to be burned.

Murong Yue was a little frightened. Although he was not injured, he was really scared at that moment. He was most afraid of pain and bleeding, so he said nothing at this moment, but just grabbed Yu Qingli's clothes with trembling all over.

Yu Qingli was the first to notice that something was wrong with him, "Murong Yue, what's wrong?"

Murong Yanhui also felt that Yue'er's expression was a little strange, and hurriedly hugged him tightly, "Yue'er, it's okay, it's okay now. Father is here and will not let you get into any danger."

Although Yu Qingli showed that she was not good at comforting children, she was very worried in her heart. This child did not seem to be easily frightened. What happened at that moment?

Suddenly, Murong Yue, who had been silent all this time, burst into tears, "Wow..."

Murong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really scared when he saw Murong Yue was different from usual. Fortunately, Yue'er returned to normal. So just now, it turned out that she was too frightened.

"Little Uncle, why are you still here caring about these useless things? You are injured, why don't you go see the imperial physician..."

After hearing what Murong Yuan said, Yu Qingli's gaze fell on Murong Yanhui's back, which looked a little embarrassed.

Today Murong Yanhui wore a silver-white brocade scarf, but because of this, the scars on her back looked even more shocking.

When he was rescuing people just now, Murong Yanhui only thought about making sure Yu Qingli and the others did not get hurt, so he fell on his back and bumped into those exquisite and luxurious flower pots.

Because it had just rained, the ground was still very slippery. Murong Yan rushed back quickly, and his entire back first rubbed against the gravel road and then was cut by the broken pieces of the flowerpot.

The red blood mixed with some dirty soil stained the originally noble and flawless brocade robe, which looked a bit horrible. There were even some broken pieces of flower pots piercing Murong Yanhui's skin. The wound continued to bleed due to his movements, staining Yu Qingli's eyes red.

Murong Yue cried even louder, "Father, Father, you are bleeding, Father, please don't die... Mother, Mother, please save Father..."

Yu Qingli was speechless. What on earth had provoked this child? Normally, he was clearly a little devil, but now he seemed to have completely changed his temperament. With a sigh, he said calmly, "Murong Yue, this little injury won't kill anyone!"

Murong Yanhui, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. His Lili was so special even when she was comforting people.

Murong Yuan was also extremely anxious. She had only intended to teach the Crown Princess Yu Qingli a lesson, but she had inadvertently hurt the young emperor's uncle. It was all that woman's fault. Why did the young emperor's uncle care so much about her? She was clearly already married, wasn't she? It was unforgivable!

"Little uncle..."

Murong Yuan wanted to say something, but she saw Murong Yanhui's eyes were cold, and seemed to contain a hint of reprimand.

Murong Yuan was stunned and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She stood there with her brows lowered and eyes lowered, not daring to say a word.

"Your Highness, please go and summon the imperial physician as soon as possible." Seeing Murong Yuan remained silent, Yu Qingli spoke.

Murong Yuan didn't say much after hearing this, but just left in a hurry. After walking a few steps, Murong Yuan suddenly remembered, why should she listen to Yu Qingli?

On second thought, this is all for the little uncle, so there is nothing to complain about.

The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment. Murong Yanhui's gaze fell on Yu Qingli's face, with a hint of heartache.

"Lili, you seem to have lost some weight these days. Haven't you been eating well?"

"Thanks to the young uncle, Qingli is doing well. Don't worry." Yu Qingli answered respectfully, like a junior to an elder.

Murong Yanhui felt a little lost. Murong Feng was obviously a piece of scum, so why was this woman so persistent?

Yu Qingli lowered her head slightly, not daring to look directly into that fiery gaze. However, after not seeing him for a few days, she felt an inexplicable expectation in her heart. After seeing him, the irritability she had felt for these days disappeared without a trace.

"If the little uncle is alright, Qingli will take her leave."

Yu Qingli didn't want to stay any longer and continue to be shaken by the man in front of her.

Murong Yanhui's eyebrows turned slightly, and he suddenly cried out in pain, and his body, which was originally standing, suddenly fell to the ground.

This sudden situation made Yu Qingli stop and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Murong Yanhui stroked his forehead, looking very weak. He said in a low voice, "It's okay, I just have a headache. Lili, can you help me back to the hall to rest?"

"Why don't I help you, little uncle!"

A sudden voice made everyone present look up and saw Murong Cheng, dressed in a black brocade robe, striding towards them.

Murong Yanhui was speechless. It was like a Cheng Yaojin suddenly showed up. Why did this kid come here to join in the fun?

As he spoke, Murong Cheng had already reached Murong Yanhui's side and reached out to help him up. "Little uncle, are you okay? Have you called the imperial physician?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has already gone to invite them." Yu Qingli took over the conversation.

Murong Cheng glanced at Yu Qingli and nodded slightly as a greeting. Yu Qingli also returned the greeting respectfully, but felt a little puzzled. Why was Murong Cheng here? Shouldn't he be busy dealing with government affairs at this time?

Murong Yanhui's face looked a little ugly. This brat really ruined his good fortune. He had thought that he could take this opportunity to be alone with Yu Qingli, but alas, man proposes, God disposes.

Now that Murong Cheng was here, Yu Qingli had even less reason to stay. Besides, there were already many rumors between them. If someone found out that she had sent Murong Yan back to Hui Palace, she would probably have no way to defend herself.

"Your Highness, I will take my leave now."

This time, Yu Qingli didn't wait for Murong Yan to reply and left directly.

Murong Yanhui couldn't help but feel a little sorry. With Murong Cheng's help, she returned to Anle Palace. Then, she asked curiously, "Why did His Royal Highness come here? Is he here to enjoy the flowers as well?"

Murong Cheng smiled bitterly, "Little Uncle, I came here specifically to ask for your help."

It turned out that after the emperor gave Murong Cheng the task, he tried to persuade those adults who knelt to protest, hoping that they could leave as soon as possible. However, to his great surprise, the number of people kneeling to protest not only did not decrease, but increased instead, which was really worrying.

"Little Uncle, don't you think I'm particularly useless? I can't even do such a small thing. How can I have any future?"

Murong Cheng felt a little disappointed, but he had no idea that, in fact, those who were unwilling to leave were Murong Feng's confidants, and some were the Queen's secret forces. They had received orders early on and would not let Murong Cheng succeed so easily.

Looking at Murong Cheng's slightly troubled face, Murong Yanhui frowned, "Prince, have you forgotten? His Majesty has long since ordered me not to participate in government affairs. Why did you think of asking me for help?"

Murong Cheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead, "Oh, I'm so confused! I'm sorry, little uncle. I didn't mean to embarrass you. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay. I know you're not that kind of person. I just didn't expect that my brother would be so fond of that Imperial Concubine Yu this time, even wanting to abdicate. I wonder who this Imperial Concubine Yu is?"

"Little uncle, don't be too curious. That Imperial Concubine Yu is none other than Yu Liuli, the stunning dancer at the birthday banquet! Come to think of it, little uncle, have you forgotten that she also came from the Jinghong Music House?"

"Is that so?" Murong Yanhui spoke lightly, but she became more and more confused in her heart.

Murong Yanhui knew that the current Concubine Yu was definitely not the Yu Liuli who appeared at the birthday banquet, but who was this Concubine Yu who appeared out of nowhere?

There must be some conspiracy behind this. This woman definitely couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Who could be the one behind all this? And what's her purpose?

If Murong Shiling were to abdicate, was he really aiming for the throne? It wouldn't be possible on the Crown Prince's side, so it would have to be Murong Feng's side. But would there be someone so far-sighted there?

The Empress was definitely out of the question, so could it be the Empress Dowager? That didn't seem likely, and what reason would the Empress Dowager have for the Emperor to abdicate at this moment?

Sure enough, after thinking about it, there is only one person who can do this, Yu Qingli!

Murong Yanhui's brows furrowed. Was it really Yu Qingli? Thinking of what she had said before, Murong Yanhui couldn't help but feel frightened. It turned out that she wasn't joking. She really wanted this world. Perhaps, she wanted this world for Murong Feng!

If this is the case, everything makes sense. Qiuyue, the palace maid who died inexplicably beside Yu Qingli, and the almost lifelike Concubine Yu, such clever ideas and bold actions would even make men bow down to them.

What a beautiful trick of switching the dragon and the phoenix! As expected of his Lili!
