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

Chapter 259 Missed Date

Murong Feng stepped forward and took Yu Qingli's hand, "Qingli, don't blame mother. She was so angry that she did such a thing."

Yu Qingli then raised her head slightly and met Murong Feng's eyes. "I know, I just feel a little sad. Didn't the eldest prince even have the courage to plead for Qingli?"

Murong Feng was stunned and quickly explained, "It's useless for the Queen Mother to plead for mercy when she's angry, so..."

"I understand. Let's leave this matter at that. I don't want to talk about it anymore." Yu Qingli's tone was very calm, but with a kind of majesty that could not be refused.

Murong Feng wanted to say something, but he only saw Yu Qingli decisively turn around and leave. For the first time, her thin back gave him an inexplicable feeling of determination. He felt strange. Perhaps, this woman was different from what he had imagined.

Yu Qingli was not really angry. She had already expected such an outcome. She simply did not want to see Murong Feng because being in such a dungeon reminded her of the days when she was imprisoned in the cold palace in her previous life.

The two of them returned to Ju'an Hall one after the other, without saying a word. Only the sound of the bleak wind and the cold moonlight lingered around them.

"Miss, are you okay? I was so worried when I knew something happened to you." As soon as she entered the hall, Yu Qingli heard Mei Hong's voice. There were some tear marks on her face, as if she was really worried about her.

Yu Qingli sneered. If Mei Hong could change out of the exquisite dress she had deliberately put on, her words might be believed a little more.

A servant who is so worried about his master would have the mind to dress up so grandly. Even the delicate flower ornaments on his brows must have been recently applied, right?

Yu Qingli responded lightly and walked into the hall, but saw that Mei Hong did not come in directly. She was still standing at the door, as if waiting for someone. Her heart could not help but become colder. What a sincere servant!

"Miss!"

As soon as she entered the room, Yu Qingli saw Xiluo kneeling by the door. Her face was pale, and her beautiful eyes were bloodshot. Her slightly red and swollen eye sockets showed that she was really worried about herself during the time she was imprisoned.

Yu Qingli stepped forward and helped Xiluo up. "Xiluo, you don't have to do this. This is not your fault."

"But my subordinates are not good at protecting their masters..."

"It's all right now, you don't have to worry too much."

Yu Qingli comforted him, not paying any attention to the fact that Mei Hong behind her was happily welcoming Murong Feng into the hall, with a smile on her face.

"Xiluo, I'm a little tired. Please send me some fragrant soup..."

"The fragrant soup has already been prepared. I have specially instructed the kitchen to send over some soft and sticky porridge. I'm afraid the young lady hasn't eaten yet, so she needs to eat something."

Xiluo answered appropriately, and Yu Qingli nodded with great satisfaction. While the two were talking, Murong Feng and Mei Hong had already arrived in the hall. Mei Hong stood aside politely, but her eyes kept wandering around Murong Feng.

Murong Feng walked to Yu Qingli's side and said softly, "Qingli, you were frightened today. Eat something and go to bed early. I'll sleep in the study today."

Yu Qingli did not try to persuade him to stay. Her eyes swept between Murong Feng and Mei Hong. It seemed that the two of them had already made an appointment tonight.

"In that case, I'll leave first." Murong Feng turned and left. Yu Qingli looked at his back thoughtfully.

"Princess, you're back? I'm glad you're alright. I've prepared some pastries for you. Please eat them later."

As soon as Murong Feng left, Qing He came in with a tray. Yu Qingli ordered, "Put it there. I'll take a shower first."

"Then let this servant serve you," Qing He said respectfully, and then casually mentioned, "Miss Meihong has been embroidering shoe patterns for the young lady these days. When she learned that something happened to the young lady, she was very nervous and kept crying. She didn't even eat properly!"

Qinghe gently undressed Yu Qingli, while Xiluo, standing beside her, sprinkled flower petals into the fragrant bath with an indifferent expression, but there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.

Yu Qingli stepped into the water. The warm water wrapped around her skin, making her feel extremely comfortable, and her mood seemed to improve as well.

A faint smile appeared on her lips, "Really? She's really worked hard. I didn't expect that Meihong got along well with you, Qinghe, not long after entering the palace."

Qing He lowered her brows and said, "Miss Mei Hong is kind and good-natured, so she naturally gets along well with us."

Yu Qingli didn't say anything else. Qinghe and Meihong, who was standing beside her and tidying up Yu Qingli's clothes, looked at each other. They thought that saying this would make Yu Qingli leave, but they didn't expect her to say anything.

Mei Hong felt a little anxious. His Highness had asked her to meet him in the Imperial Garden today. How could she miss such a good opportunity?

Thinking of this, Mei Hong stumbled and bumped into the washstand. The washbasin fell to the ground with a sharp sound.

"I'm sorry, my lady. I was so careless."

Yu Qingli glanced at Mei Hong, who was acting like a clown, with a half-smile. It seemed that she had really put a lot of thought into meeting Murong Feng. If it were normal, she would have gone, but today, she was in a very bad mood. Coming out of the dungeon reminded her of the time she spent in the cold palace in her previous life. So today, she would not let Mei Hong and Murong Feng get away with it so easily.

Mei Hong looked at Yu Qingli's obscure gaze and felt a little scared for a moment. What was going on? Did the young lady discover something?

"Miss, Miss Meihong must be too tired. Why don't you let her go back and rest for a while, and leave this place to the servants."

Qinghe took over the conversation, but her heart skipped a beat when she saw Yu Qingli's look.

Yu Qingli's eyes were as cold as frost as they fell on Qinghe's face. "Since when has it become your turn to be the head of this palace?"

Qing He was stunned when she heard this, and then immediately knelt on the ground, "Princess, please calm down. I just spoke too quickly..."

"You spoke too quickly?! Since you've been talking so much, try to keep your words to a minimum!"

Yu Qingli spoke coldly. Her indifferent expression frightened Qing He, who was kneeling on the ground. She kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Yes, I will slap you in the face!"

Mei Hong, who was standing next to her, also knelt down quickly upon seeing this. "Miss, please calm down. I am fine and don't want to rest. Please spare Sister Qinghe."

Yu Qingli ignored her, while Qinghe started slapping herself. The crisp slaps in the face gave people a chilling feeling in the cold night.

Yu Qingli closed her eyes slightly and took a comfortable bath with Xiluo's service.

"That's enough!" After Qing He's mouth was bleeding, Yu Qingli said calmly, "Qing He, go down first."

Qinghe was pardoned and retreated with his head down. His mouth felt burning with pain, but Meihong was still kneeling there.

Yu Qingli glanced at her calmly, "Why are you still standing there? The water is getting a little cold."

"Yes, I'll go get some water right away!"

Mei Hong got up from the ground, stumbling a little because she had been kneeling for too long, and ran out stumbling. Although she didn't know why the young lady suddenly became so powerful, she couldn't offend her now. It seemed that her date with the eldest prince today had to be ruined.

After Mei Hong left, Yu Qingli slowly spoke, "Xiluo, do you think I have become cruel?"

Xiluo spoke without hesitation, "Miss, if you are not cruel to others, others will be cruel to you! Besides, these people have brought this upon themselves!"

Yu Qingli smiled contentedly, "Xiluo, you did the right thing! They all brought this upon themselves!"

Not long after, Mei Hong came over with a large bucket of hot water and carefully served Yu Qingli, not daring to run a step more or say a word more.

The cold moonlight cast a layer of silver light over the entire palace. In the imperial garden, which was still full of flowers, there was not much of the breath of autumn. In the pavilion, Murong Feng stood tall, as if waiting for someone.

Not long after, a person who looked like a palace maid crouched down, walked carefully through the flowers, and walked towards Murong Feng.

Murong Feng heard the voice behind him and turned around with a smile on his face. However, when he saw the person coming, he said with disappointment, "Qinghe? Why is it you?"

"Your Highness, Miss Meihong has been detained by the prince's wife. Judging from the princess's appearance, she seems to be in a bad mood today, so I'm afraid Miss Meihong will not be able to leave today."

Murong Feng's face turned ugly, and he glanced at Qing He's slightly swollen cheek, "Was this also done by Yu Qingli?"

Qinghe lowered her head and said nothing, but it was tantamount to her assent. Seeing this, Murong Feng sighed secretly. It seemed that Yu Qingli was more powerful than he had imagined.

Could it be that I had seen it wrong before? Murong Feng was a little confused, but he also became more curious about Yu Qingli.

"Your Highness, I feel that the Crown Princess is not as simple as she seems." Qing He suddenly spoke.

Murong Feng glanced at her, but just ordered: "Go to the Imperial Hospital and get some medicine for your injuries."

"I obey your command. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"We must pay close attention to Yu Qingli's every move in the future, and report any special circumstances promptly."

"The servant understands."

Qinghe quickly left the imperial garden and disappeared into the darkness. The moonlight was cold and Murong Feng's expression suddenly turned cold, without any trace of gentleness.

"Yu Qingli, it seems you have successfully aroused my curiosity!"

That night, Mei Hong, who had dressed up carefully, did not leave Yu Qingli's side for a single step and served her until she fell asleep. When she ran out of the palace to the imperial garden, panting, there was no sign of Murong Feng.

The moonlight was faint, stretching Meihong's figure very long, yet also a little lonely.

The lovely dimples on Meihong's pretty round face were gone, and her eyes were filled with a bit of viciousness and resentment.

It was all Miss! She was the one who ruined my date with the eldest prince, and she was the one who prevented my happiness!

She was unwilling to accept this! She was unwilling to be a maid forever, and she was unwilling to be suppressed by Yu Qingli even in the palace!
