Chapter 163 Face Changing
In the Anle Palace, only the eunuch painting could be heard whispering, "Master, the painting is done!"
Murong Yanhui reluctantly left the soft couch. Yu Qingli felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over, but the grudge was still formed.
Murong Yanhui picked up the painting. Murong Yanhui in the picture was handsome and evil, with heroic spirit in his eyes and eyebrows. Yu Qingli under him had seductive eyes, and her forbearing expression made people more imaginative.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I see your painting skills have improved!"
Murong Yanhui exclaimed in admiration, and the infatuated painter lowered his head and replied, "Master, you are too kind. Apart from painting, I don't have any other skills."
"Every profession has its specialties. Chihua, you've done a great job. Come down and claim your reward!"
At Murong Yanhui's command, the eunuch quickly left the hall. Yu Qingli looked at him coldly, indicating that Murong Yanhui could let her go.
Murong Yanhui chuckled, blew the ink off the painting, and deliberately brought it to Yu Qingli. She opened her sexy lips and said, "Lili, what do you think of this painting?"
Yu Qingli glanced at him and immediately blushed with shame. Murong Yanhui untied her mute point. Yu Qingli said in anger, "Murong Yanhui, one day, I will return the humiliation I suffered today tenfold!"
"Oh?!" Murong Yan raised an eyebrow, a hint of provocation in her beautiful eyes, "Then I am really looking forward to it!"
He deliberately moved closer, his nose touching Yu Qingli's, and asked in an ambiguous tone: "I wonder how Lili plans to retaliate against me? Will she do the same as me..."
"Murong Yanhui, you are so shameless!"
Murong Yanhui's expression suddenly darkened. He stared at Yu Qingli with stern eyes and said seriously, "If you have lost your heart, what's the point of having dignity?!"
As he spoke, he carefully put the painting away and said, "I will keep this painting carefully so that I can take it out and remind you in the future when you forget the relationship between us!"
Yu Qingli gritted her teeth. This was clearly a naked threat!
After putting away the painting, Murong Yanhui untied the acupoints on Yu Qingli's body.
Yu Qingli's first reaction was to give Murong Yan a big slap in the face, but her hands and feet were numb and she had no strength at all, and Murong Yan grabbed her wrist again.
"Lili, my patience is limited. If you continue to be disobedient, I won't mind killing you right here!
"you!"
Yu Qingli was furious and was about to scold him when she heard a gentle female voice coming from outside the door, "Master, it's almost time. His Majesty should leave the court now."
Murong Yan responded: "Then come in, Auntie!"
The tone was unexpectedly gentle, which made Yu Qingli wonder, does this woman whom Murong Yanhui called Aunt Qing really have a different identity in Anle Palace?
"Creaky!" The door of the palace opened, and Aunt Qing walked in with a wooden box. She respectfully saluted Murong Yanhui, and then looked at Yu Qingli. The look in her eyes made people feel like a future mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law, which made Yu Qingli very uncomfortable.
"What exactly do you want to do?!" Yu Qingli was very confused. The numbness in her hands and feet had not yet passed, so she could only lie on the soft couch and let others do whatever they wanted.
Man is a knife, I am a fish!
At this moment, Yu Qingli felt this feeling again.
"Don't worry, girl. I'm just helping you put on some makeup so you can avoid being caught." Aunt Qing's tone was very gentle, and even had a heart-warming feeling that flowed into people's hearts like a trickle of water.
Yu Qingli's anger subsided a lot at once. Seeing this, Murong Yanhui sighed secretly. It seemed that this concubine's ability to comfort people was becoming more and more profound.
Aunt Qing opened the wooden box in front of Yu Qingli, and saw that it was filled with a lot of bottles and jars, but they were very different from ordinary rouge and powder.
Yu Qingli was actually a little curious, but she saw Aunt Qing in front of her gently commanding: "Close your eyes!"
She immediately closed her eyes obediently, feeling a pair of deft hands rubbing her face. It was cool and comfortable, without any discomfort at all. After a moment, she heard a voice, "Alright! You can open your eyes now, girl."
A bronze mirror had already been placed in front of Yu Qingli. Yu Qingli opened her eyes and saw that the woman in the mirror had a completely unfamiliar face. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would have found it hard to imagine that her face had been replaced in such a short time.
He looked at Aunt Qing with a bit more admiration in his eyes. When he thought about it carefully, there were quite a few talented people around Murong Yanhui. He had heard before that Prince Yan liked to make friends and had a lot of random friends. Now it seemed that in addition to those bad friends, Prince Yan also seemed to have gathered a lot of talents.
His expression inevitably became complicated. If such a person had the intention to usurp the throne, how could Murong Shileng be able to prevent him?
Seeing the surprise in Yu Qingli's eyes, Murong Yanhui reached out and supported her chin, "Not bad. From today on, you will be my personal maid. As for your name, you can call me Lihua."
Yu Qingli's eyes turned coldly, and she turned her head away. "Murong Yan replied, don't go too far! I want to leave the palace!"
"Of course you have to leave the palace, but not now! It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the palace, do you think you can leave so easily?" Murong Yanhui looked at him with a hint of warning.
Seeing this, Concubine Qing smiled and soothed her, "Don't worry, young lady. After yesterday's assassination, the palace is heavily guarded. Not only you, but even we are not allowed to leave the palace right now. Besides, His Majesty has already left the court. If he finds out that you are missing, I'm afraid not even a fly would be able to escape from this palace."
Yu Qingli thought about it carefully and felt that what Aunt Qing said made some sense. It seemed that she could only stay here for the time being. Perhaps now, this romantic and unrestrained prince had become her only umbrella of protection.
Looking out from the open temple door, the sky had become completely gloomy and it began to rain. It seemed that the storm had begun!
At this moment, a violent storm was sweeping through the Qianli Palace!
The first thing Murong Shiling did as soon as he arrived at the court was to head straight for Qianli Palace. He saluted respectfully at the guard at the door, and was a little surprised to see that the door was still closed, but he was also secretly happy, and felt a little more expectant.
Maybe you can see a beautiful woman sleeping, which is really nice.
Thinking of this, Murong Shiling dismissed his attendants and walked into the hall. The gauze curtains on the huge bed were drawn down, and one could vaguely see who was sleeping inside.
"Beauty, I'm here!"
Thinking of Yu Liuli's seductive look last night, Murong Shileng's blood boiled, and the desire in his eyes suddenly rose. Reaching out to lift the curtain, Murong Shileng called out softly, "Beauty!"
The body under the thin blanket did not react at all. Murong Shiling moved closer, but felt that the bun was a little strange. It looked like the hair ornaments of eunuchs in the palace.
Murong Shiling hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pulled away the thin blanket. There was no beauty under the blanket. It was clearly his personal eunuch, Eunuch Lin, who was tightly tied up and unconscious!
The desire in his eyes was instantly replaced by anger. Murong Shileng kicked Eunuch Lin off the bed. The sudden pain finally woke Eunuch Lin up. Seeing Murong Shileng in front of him, he knelt and crawled on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"
"what happened?!"
Eunuch Lin's calves were trembling as he recounted the entire incident. He then trembled and said, "I suspect it was Miss Yu Liuli who did it!"
Murong Shiling snorted coldly, "Why bother guessing? Isn't it obvious? It was that woman who did it! How dare she run away?!"
"Somebody come!"
Murong Shileng shouted coldly, and the guards came in quickly. When they saw Eunuch Lin lying on the ground, they were all trembling with fear.
Fortunately, although Murong Shiling was furious, he didn't intend to take it out on the guards. Perhaps he wanted to give them a chance to make amends, so he immediately ordered, "What are you all standing there for? Go search!"
"Yes!"
Murong Shiling then added, "Catch her alive for me! Don't harm a hair on her head!"
The guards quickly set out, and together with the eunuchs and maids in the palace, they all began to search around, and soon the entire palace was in chaos.
Knowing that the woman had escaped, the person who was most happy was Queen Li. It seemed that this woman was really restless. But it was also good this way, as it saved her the trouble of taking action.
After searching everywhere, there was no sign of Yu Liuli. In anger, Murong Shileng detained all the people from Jinghong Music House who were supposed to leave the palace. Although they still lived in the side hall, they had to be questioned one by one.
Let's not talk about this anymore, but let's say Murong Shiling sent out a message, ordering everyone to inquire if anyone saw anyone wearing eunuch clothes and behaving suspiciously this morning.
Murong Shiling paced back and forth in the Qianli Palace, feeling extremely angry and irritable. He wanted to kill a few palace maids to vent his anger, but he had to consider his reputation and could not kill innocent people.
The wind and rain outside are getting stronger and stronger. The autumn wind is bleak, mixed with the cold autumn rain, which makes people feel even more depressed.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Chang requests an audience! He said he has information about the whereabouts of Miss Yu Liuli."
"Oh, hurry up!"
Soon, a eunuch with a flattering face walked into the Qianli Palace and respectfully saluted Murong Shiling.
"Your Majesty, this morning I met an unfamiliar eunuch holding Eunuch Lin's badge. He said he was Eunuch Lin's godson and had been ordered to find a craftsman to repair the Wolong Palace."
Eunuch Lin quickly interrupted, "I don't have any godson, Your Majesty. This must be Yu Liuli. She took my clothes and badge and sneaked out."
Murong Shiling asked, "Do you know where she went?"
"The west palace gate!"
Murong Shiling frowned. The guards at all the palace gates had just come to report that no eunuchs had left the palace this morning. This meant that the woman should still be in the palace. Could she have been hidden by someone?
How dare she hide the woman he liked right under his nose? Who else in the palace has such courage?!
Could it be him? !
