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

Chapter 260 The Queen Mother’s Admonition

The sun was shining brightly, and although it was mixed with a bit of autumn air, it made people feel very comfortable. In the Cixin Hall, the Queen Mother sat in the front, and Empress Li sat on a chair not far from her side, with her brows lowered and her eyes closed, looking very respectful.

Murong Feng also stood aside with a gentle smile on his face, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Soon, she was dressed in a gorgeous red brocade robe, which was charming and luxurious, accompanied by her unruly figure, a truly peerless beauty.

The person who came was Murong Yanhui who had just been released from the Heavenly Prison. He saluted the Queen Mother politely. The Queen Mother looked at him gently and asked him to stand up and take a seat.

Murong Yanhui had just sat down when Yu Qingli arrived.

Murong Yanhui felt a little happy, but also worried. The Queen Mother gathered them all together, and he didn't know what to do.

Yu Qingli was wearing a light-colored palace dress today, which was fresh and elegant, but also a little thin. The autumn wind was bleak, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

Yu Qingli only brought Xiluo with her, and Meihong was left in Ju'an Hall to take care of Murong Yue.

Murong Yanhui's gaze was fixed on Yu Qingli as soon as she came in. The undisguised worry and love in her eyes made Murong Feng, who was standing beside her, have his eyes flicker.

Yu Qingli stepped forward respectfully and saluted everyone present. Her status here was the lowest.

"Qingli girl, come to me quickly."

The Queen Mother ordered Yu Qingli to come forward. Yu Qingli looked normal, but she was confused. Could it be that it was the Queen Mother's intention for her to come out of the dungeon?

Even though she had a thousand questions, Yu Qingli didn't dare to say a word. She just walked forward humbly and came to the side of the empress dowager.

"Has the Queen Mother been feeling unwell these days?"

Yu Qingli spoke with concern, and sure enough, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile when she heard it. "You are really considerate, girl. Since I used your method, I have felt refreshed these days and can sleep peacefully at night. My headache has also been cured without treatment."

Yu Qingli lowered her brows and said, "That's good. The Queen Mother's good health is the greatest blessing for us younger generations."

The Queen Mother smiled lightly, stepped forward and took Yu Qingli's hand, "Qingli girl, I still like to hear you call me Grandmother. Calling me Empress Dowager has become unfamiliar to me."

Yu Qingli responded softly, "Yes!"

Queen Li, who was standing by, exchanged glances with Murong Feng upon seeing this, and she began to look at Yu Qingli with a new respect. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother actually liked this girl so much. It was really surprising. It seemed that it was the right decision to release her from the dungeon. Otherwise, not only the Emperor, but even the Queen Mother would have taken action against them.

Murong Yan looked back at the interaction between the Queen and Murong Feng, secretly wondering what this mother and son were up to. Regardless of what they were planning, just make sure they didn't harm Lili.

As for the Queen Mother...

Murong Yanhui looked at the Queen Mother with a slightly inquiring look, vaguely feeling that she was a little different from usual. Although he had not been to the palace for a long time, he was familiar with the Queen Mother. However, he didn't know if it was because the Queen Mother had a good attitude towards Yu Qingli, in his eyes, the Queen Mother looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"I wonder why the Queen Mother summoned us here?"

Murong Yanhui was the first to speak, and the Queen and Murong Feng also looked at the smiling Queen Mother with questioning eyes.

"I called you here today because I heard some rumors earlier and wanted to verify them."

The Queen Mother did not shy away from it. She turned her head to look at Yu Qingli and said, "Qingli girl, please sit down first."

Yu Qingli was a little flattered, but she didn't refuse. She just walked lightly to the chair and sat down.

In this way, Murong Feng was the only one standing there, which seemed a little awkward for a moment. However, the Queen Mother did not speak. Even though Murong Feng felt embarrassed, he didn't know what to say. The Queen Mother seemed to have really not noticed and left Murong Feng aside.

Queen Li's expression also looked somewhat ugly. What did the Queen Mother mean by this?

He let his son stand while his daughter-in-law sat on the same side with the King of Yan. Wasn't this clearly an attempt to elevate Yu Qingli's status?

The Queen Mother glanced at the Queen, whose expression was clearly unhappy, and snorted coldly, "Queen, shouldn't you give an explanation for what happened this time? You imprisoned Qingli in the dungeon for no reason. Shouldn't you apologize for this?"

The Queen's expression changed. Just as she was about to explain, she saw the Queen Mother's extremely stern gaze. Her heart skipped a beat. What was going on? Why was the Queen Mother so protective of Yu Qingli?

Yu Qingli was also a little surprised, but at this moment, she couldn't let Queen Li lose face, so she immediately stood up and said, "Grandmother, please calm down. This matter is just a misunderstanding. I hope you won't pursue it."

"Qingli is right, Grandmother. Queen Mother lost her composure in a moment of desperation. I hope Grandmother will understand."

Murong Feng also spoke immediately afterwards.

With the previous preparation, Empress Li could not help but put down her airs and said humbly, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I was indeed impulsive in what happened earlier, but I was also moved by emotion. I hope Your Majesty will calm down."

"Yes, Imperial Grandmother, since the Queen Mother has already realized her mistake, please stop being angry."

The Queen Mother glanced at Yu Qingli. Well, since the parties involved had said so, there was no need for her to pursue the matter further.

"So, what happened between you and the King of Yan at the wedding? Qingli girl, could it be that you and the King of Yan..."

"How is that possible?" Yu Qingli quickly defended herself, "I have no relationship with King Yan."

The Queen Mother cast her gaze on Murong Yanhui. "Is what Qingli said true? Yanhui, why don't you tell me?"

Murong Yanhui raised his eyes and met Yu Qingli's, but saw a warning in her eyes, as if to say, Murong Yanhui, if you talk nonsense, I will never forgive you.

Murong Yanhui sighed inwardly, it seemed that he had no choice but to tell the truth.

Queen Li and Murong Feng also stared at Murong Yanhui, hoping to find out something from his expression.

"Hahaha……"

Murong Yanhui suddenly burst into laughter, which surprised everyone present.

"Your Majesty is wise enough to actually think of questioning me directly. This does put me in a difficult position, but I'm in a good mood today, so I might as well tell you the truth. Yes, what happened at the wedding was indeed just a show I put on because I felt resentful."

Yu Qingli breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried that Murong Yanhui would continue to confuse right and wrong and deliberately make people misunderstand their relationship.

But for some reason, Yu Qingli felt that the empress dowager was not very happy when she heard these words, and even seemed a little disappointed.

Disappointed? Was it her illusion? How could the Queen Mother really hope that there was something going on between her and the Prince of Yan?

"What about that child? Didn't they say their blood is compatible?"

"Well, this is just a little trick of mine. Yue'er is indeed my child, but he is an adopted one. As for the blood-dissolving trick, as long as I want, any two people can be dissolved. This is just something I accidentally obtained from the common people."

“It’s actually like this…”

Queen Li was also a little surprised when she heard this. Hearing the Prince of Yan speak so frankly about this matter, for some reason she felt something was wrong.

Are there really nothing between these two people? They don't look alike at all!

The Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then spoke, "If that's the case, there's no need to be suspicious of each other anymore. I heard Feng'er didn't stay overnight in the palace on his wedding day, and even moved his bedding to the study yesterday. Is that true?"

Murong Feng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It was true that nothing could be hidden from the Queen Mother. But what was the Queen Mother's intention in speaking this matter so bluntly?

And it happened in front of Murong Yanhui.

Murong Yanhui felt complicated upon hearing this. On the one hand, she was annoyed at Murong Feng for not cherishing her, and she felt sorry for Yu Qingli's infatuation. On the other hand, she also felt fortunate that Lili had not yet become Murong Feng's woman, so it was definitely possible for her to snatch Lili from him.

Before Murong Feng could speak, Yu Qingli took over and said, "Grandmother, His Highness has been very kind to me. Should we not continue discussing these matters?"

After hearing what Yu Qingli said, the Queen Mother seemed to feel that it was indeed inappropriate to discuss whether the two had consummated their marriage in a high-sounding manner. Glancing at Yu Qingli's slightly red ears, the Queen Mother changed the subject.

"Feng'er, it seems that you have married a good concubine. You should cherish her in the future."

Murong Feng glanced at Yu Qingli, then knelt down and said, "Grandson, I understand."

The Queen Mother then frowned, "Yan Hui, Feng'er has already started a family and established a career, but you, as the emperor's uncle, have done nothing. Isn't it time to curb your playful nature?"

Murong Yanhui said in a tone that seemed neither genuine nor fake: "The Queen Mother is right. I will follow your instructions."

"What's the point of just verbal promises? You need to take concrete action, preferably getting married as soon as possible. You're already an adult, yet you don't even have an heir. Isn't that outrageous? Do you want to sever the royal bloodline?"

Murong Yanhui suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be excited, Queen Mother. This matter is not urgent. Besides, wouldn't it be better to leave the matter of continuing the royal bloodline to my brother? I have always loved to play and don't want to be bound by these things."

The Queen Mother sighed upon hearing this, "You are such a worry to me. Forget it, I can't take care of you anyway, so I'll let your brother take good care of you in the future."

"Don't worry about my son's marriage, Queen Mother and my brother. I already have someone I like in my heart. When the time is right, I will naturally bring her to see you, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and then said to the others, "I have said all this for the sake of peace in the harem. I hope you can understand my good intentions."

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I already know what's going on. I will never act so impulsively in the future," Queen Li stated.

The Queen Mother then let them leave and return to the palace.
