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

Chapter 256: Imprisonment (2)

In the Wolong Hall, Murong Shileng had a gloomy look on his face. The wound on his forehead had already been treated. Although it was not very serious, the bandage was shocking.

When Murong Feng and Yu Qingli arrived together, the entire Wolong Palace was on alert.

Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. They acted so well, as if nothing had happened. It was ridiculous. Is this what the so-called royal family is?

"Grand Prince, the princess requests an audience."

Murong Feng and Yu Qingli stood outside the palace waiting. A eunuch went in to pass on the message. Not long after, the eunuch came out again and ordered, "The emperor has ordered that he does not want to see anyone today."

Murong Feng said gently, "Please tell them we have something important to discuss with our father."

The eunuch seemed a little embarrassed, but he still walked back in. A moment later, Murong Shiling's angry voice came from the hall, "Are you deaf? I said I won't see anyone today!"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Get out! Get out of here!"

Murong Shileng's roar could even be heard clearly outside the hall. Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli, who had an expressionless face, with some surprise. He hadn't seen his father so angry in many years. He never expected that this time it was because of a woman.

Murong Feng was silent for a moment. Since his father was furious, he probably wouldn't see him. So he pulled Yu Qingli over and said, "Let's go, Qingli. I think we should come back later."

Before the two of them turned around, a group of people came over. Leading the group was the queen, and closely following her were Concubine Lin and some other concubines in the palace.

Everyone's face looked extremely ugly. Obviously, they already knew that Murong Shileng was injured.

No matter what the reason was, hurting Murong Shileng was already a capital crime. Moreover, for the women in the harem, the emperor was their heaven.

Therefore, as soon as they heard the news that Murong Shileng was injured, the women in the harem could no longer sit still. So, led by the queen, these women came to the Wolong Palace one by one to check on the emperor's condition.

Queen Li and her entourage were dressed up beautifully. Even at this time, these women did not forget to dress up well.

"Someone, take Yu Qingli into custody!"

Before Yu Qingli and Murong Feng could pay their respects to the women in the harem, Queen Li issued an order with an expressionless face.

"Mother, this..."

Murong Feng was about to speak when Empress Li sternly rebuked him, "Feng'er, don't interfere in this matter! I will handle it myself!"

Murong Feng was stunned. What did his mother mean by this?

Yu Qingli was very calm. She had some idea of the current situation, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It seems that Queen Li's temperament is still as unpredictable as in her previous life.

"What are you all standing there for? Why don't you do something?"

At Queen Li's command, several vicious maids came forward and grabbed Yu Qingli. The wound on her already injured arm burst open due to the maids' rough movements, causing her excruciating pain.

Yu Qingli just frowned slightly. This action made Murong Feng's eyes fall on her injured arm. It really surprised him. He didn't expect that this girl who was only in her teens could be so tough.

Yu Qingli looked up and met Queen Li's eyes, "Your Majesty, I don't know why you suddenly grabbed Qingli."

Queen Li snorted coldly. Perhaps she had made a mistake from the very beginning. This woman named Yu Qingli, regardless of whether she was the emperor's or empress's daughter, was simply like a natural-born vixen.

From the Prince of Yan who caused a scene at the wedding to His Majesty who was so shameless as to attack his own daughter-in-law, in the eyes of Queen Li, these men were all crazy and were all bewitched by Yu Qingli.

If this continues, the final result might really become the one I worry about the most.

No! She absolutely won't allow such a thing to happen!

Queen Li was so sure that as long as she was there, she would not allow any other woman to threaten her position.

Murong Feng understood the Queen's actions very well, but in this case, it seemed that there was no point in letting him marry Yu Qingli in the first place.

"Yu Qingli, you conspired with Prince Yan to assassinate His Majesty. Do you still want to quibble?"

Yu Qingli secretly scoffed in her heart. When did the rumor become so fabricated? Assassination? How ridiculous!

In response to Queen Li's words, Yu Qingli did not explain any further. She knew that nothing she said now would help.

A faint smile played on her lips. "In that case, Qingli has nothing to say. It seems that we can only let the Queen deal with it."

Queen Li snorted coldly, "It seems you are quite sensible. Come, take her away and put her in the cell first. I will deal with her when I am free."

Soon, several guards came over and took Yu Qingli from the hands of the maids. Yu Qingli looked at Murong Feng, but found that he was avoiding her gaze.

Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. It seemed that Murong Feng was going to watch coldly from the sidelines. She really didn't expect that he would reveal his true nature so soon. Under that gentle and innocent appearance, there was a selfish and cold heart.

Yu Qingli couldn't help but sigh again. It seemed that her judgment of people in her previous life was really terrible.

Yu Qingli was detained by the guards and walked towards the dungeon in the palace with an expressionless face. She was quite familiar with the place. After all, she had imprisoned prisoners there in her previous life.

The dungeon of the imperial palace is located under an abandoned palace in the northwest corner. It was previously used by the concubines in the palace to punish disobedient servants. Later, after Murong Shileng ascended the throne, he officially converted it into a dungeon to detain some prisoners in the palace.

In the previous life, Yu Qingli had imprisoned Prince Murong Cheng here in order to help Murong Feng.

After passing through the carved corridors and the magnificent palace, Yu Qingli and his group stopped at the door of the dungeon.

Just as I remembered, flowers were blooming outside the dungeon door, giving people the illusion of spring even in this bleak autumn day.

Especially the row of hibiscus planted around the dungeon entrance, which is enchanting and beautiful. The color from white to deep red is as charming as if it were stained with blood.

I don’t know if it’s because there are too many corpses and flesh buried underneath, but the flowers outside the dungeon are always the most beautiful and brilliant in the palace.

Two expressionless dungeon guards opened the dungeon door in a normal manner. They had been staying here for many years and had seen so many things like this that they were almost numb.

Whether it is the concubines, palace maids or eunuchs in the palace, they are all superior to others when they are in favor, but when they fall out of favor, they become ants trampled on by everyone, and sometimes they are even worse than ants.

As soon as you walk into the dungeon door, a pungent smell comes to your nose, mixed with the rich floral fragrance outside, which makes you feel nauseous.

It was a slightly fishy and moldy smell, as well as a damp and rotten smell that made people want to vomit just by smelling it.

Continuing to walk in, Yu Qingli saw the prisoners locked in iron cages. Most of these people had unkempt hair and dirty faces, sallow skin, and were so skinny that they looked like skeletons wandering on the edge of hell. They no longer looked like human beings.

"Let me out, let me out, I want to see His Majesty!"

A shrill female voice came from the dungeon, making people feel creepy in the slightly dark corridor.

The two guards sneered, then as if talking to themselves, or deliberately speaking for Yu Qingli to hear, "It's always like this when we first get here, but after a while, we'll settle down. Once you enter this hell, how can you ever get out?"

Yu Qingli had a blank expression on her face and looked calm, as if she didn't take these words to heart.

The two guards were a little surprised to see Yu Qingli looking so calm, but they didn't say anything else.

Walking all the way in, Yu Qingli saw the woman who had been shouting. Judging from her clothes, she seemed to be a concubine. She probably offended Murong Shiling for some reason, so she was imprisoned here.

"Are you also a new concubine? Please, help me tell His Majesty a message. I want to see His Majesty. I don't want to be locked up here. I want to see His Majesty!"

When the woman saw Yu Qingli, she looked very excited. Her slightly messy hair stuck to her face, and she looked very twisted and scary.

She desperately stretched out her hands from the prison bars, trying to grab Yu Qingli, as if she was trying to grasp her last glimmer of hope.

When the woman wanted to stretch out her hand again, the guard took the stick in his hand and hit the woman's hand hard without hesitation. There was a scream, and the woman's fingers fell down weakly, probably broken.

"Stop screaming. Can't you see she's been imprisoned just like you?"

The woman fell to the ground when she heard that. After a moment of silence, she burst into tears. Her heart-wrenching cry made people feel a little sad.

Yu Qingli suddenly became curious about this woman. Who was she? Why was she imprisoned here?

And judging from her memories of her previous life, she had no impression of the woman in front of her.

"go in!"

Yu Qingli was pushed into a cell. Coincidentally, Yu Qingli was imprisoned in the cell next to the one where the woman was just now.

The guards quickly left the disgusting dungeon, and Yu Qingli turned to look at the woman. Suddenly, she found that the woman's figure was very similar to her own.

Not only that, this woman's appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to his own, especially her eyes, which were almost more like his own than Xiluo's.

A thought flashed through Yu Qingli's mind, making her smile slightly. It seemed that even God was helping her!
