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

Chapter 548 Maid Shu Yi (2)

However, Yu Qingli believed the Queen Mother's words to some extent. This palace maid must be very favored by the Queen Mother. It is rare to find a palace maid who is so smart and clever in the palace.

I really don’t know where the Queen Mother found such a person.

It was a fine day, and the warm breeze made people drowsy. Yu Qingli had been studying medical classics the previous night and had not slept the entire night, so it was almost noon and she had not gotten up yet.

Shu Yi stood at the door with his eyes lowered, not knowing what he was thinking. Xiluo had gone out for something, and Qinghe was told to go to Yu Zhenzhen. For a moment, Yu Qingli and Shu Yi were the only two people in the entire courtyard.

The air was a little stuffy, and the scorching sun hung high overhead. Some red petals had already appeared in the lotus pond in the yard, looking extremely delicate among the green. The koi in the pond also looked a little listless, most of them staying still, with only a few swimming around occasionally.

Shu Yi's face was gloomy, and her slightly raised eyes were stained with hatred. She quietly walked into the inner hall, but did not dare to close the door completely. She only left it ajar and walked towards the huge bed with light steps.

The light gauze curtain swayed slightly with the wind blowing in from the window, creating beautiful ripples on the curtain. Looking through the gauze, Yu Qingli was sleeping peacefully inside, with her lilac-colored arms exposed outside the quilt, looking extremely adorable.

Shu Yi walked lightly, even tiptoeing, and slowly approached the bed, one step, two steps, three steps, until he stopped outside the gauze curtain.

There were extremely complicated emotions in her eyes. Her hands were clenched into fists, and the blue veins on the back of her hands were clearly visible, looking a little ferocious. Her oval face was expressionless, and only her tightly pursed lips betrayed her emotions.

She just stood by the bed, looking at Yu Qingli through the gauze curtain, staring intently, attentively and seriously. If you didn't know her, you might even think she had extremely deep feelings for the woman on the bed.

It was unknown how long it had been before Shu Yi slowly released her fist. The palm of her hand was already bloody from the sharp nails, but she seemed not to feel the pain. She slowly turned around and returned to her previous position to guard, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion of others.

And just as Shu Yi walked out the door, Yu Qingli turned over, frowned tightly, and slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, without any sleepiness.

In fact, she had already woken up the moment Shu Yi came in, but she hadn't moved a muscle, wanting to see what Shu Yi was going to do. The result didn't disappoint her, as Shu Yi's burning gaze at her made her suddenly understand something.

Perhaps, this Shu Yi was not sent to him by the Queen Mother, but she came here on her own initiative. As for her purpose, she probably wanted to kill him.

But why? No matter how hard Yu Qingli thought, she couldn't imagine what kind of conflict she had with a little palace maid. More importantly, she had never met this little palace maid before. This person who appeared out of nowhere and had inexplicable hostility towards her.

This made Yu Qingli very unhappy! No matter what, she didn't want to wake up and become a wandering ghost, and die at the hands of someone she had never met before. More importantly, she didn't even know the reason for her death.

Yu Qingli seemed to be thinking about something. It seemed that she really had to be careful about Shu Yi in the future.

When Xiluo came back, Shuyi was standing guard at the door bored. Xiluo asked, "Is the young lady still awake?"

Shuyi shook her head in response, but Xiluo caught a glimpse of the wound on the palm of her hand, which was the mark of nails digging into the flesh.

Xiluo frowned, but did not ask any further questions. He just said, "You go and have your meal. I'll guard here."

Shu Yi answered yes obediently, then turned and left. Xi Luo felt his heart tighten and he quickly pushed open the door and went in.

The curtains on the bed had been lifted, and Yu Qingli was leaning against the bed, looking thoughtful, with a clear expression and a stern face!

"Miss, just now..."

"Xiluo, I'm afraid the Queen Mother has really sent a hidden danger here. That Shuyi just now probably wanted to kill me."

"What?" Xiluo was horrified. "She actually has such a motive. I will get rid of her right away!"

"Absolutely not! This person has an unknown origin, but he hates me to the core. It's really strange. Moreover, Shu Yi is still under our control. If it were someone else, we might not even be able to see him. Rather than letting the Queen Mother send another enemy hiding in the dark, it is better to put this enemy in front of us."

Xiluo couldn't refute these words. What the young lady said made sense. If the Queen Mother wanted to find someone to assassinate the young lady, it would be even more difficult to defend against it.

"But this Shu Yi clearly doesn't know martial arts. It's not necessarily a bit far-fetched for the Queen Mother to send her to assassinate the young lady."

"That's not necessarily true. There are many ways to kill people. Perhaps Shu Yi is good at those special methods!"

Xiluo's expression was serious. "Miss, no matter what, you should report this matter to the prince."

"No! The more this is the case, the more I can't let him know. If Murong Yanhui knew about this, it would only put him in a difficult position between me and his mother. What's the point?"

"But……"

"I believe you will protect me!"

Yu Qingli smiled lightly, her eyes full of trust, which made Xiluo speechless.

"Thank you, Miss. Don't worry, I will definitely protect you well."

At this moment, Shu Yi, who was about to go to lunch, met Murong Feng who was returning from outside. She immediately lowered her head, with a hint of timidity and shyness, "Hello, Your Highness."

"Your name is... Shu what?"

Murong Feng asked seriously, staring at Shu Yi's slightly lowered head, and felt itchy in his heart. This palace maid seemed very interesting.

"The servant is happy."

"Oh, it's Shuyi. How old are you this year?"

"Slave Servant Nineteen."

"It's a good time. The Empress Dowager asked you to come to the palace. Did you volunteer?"

"Of course I volunteered. I've heard a lot about His Highness and the Princess, and I admire them, so..."

Murong Feng smiled gently and took Shu Yi's hand. "How about you go to dinner with me?"

Shu Yi's pretty face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Murong Feng shyly, then nodded embarrassedly, but was secretly delighted in her heart.

Murong Feng was also very proud. He had never failed with women. Look at these women, they were all very docile.

Murong Feng took Shuyi to the dining room, and this scene fell into Chunyi's eyes not far away. She hurriedly went to report to Yu Zhenzhen.

Because the weather was hot, Yu Zhenzhen had lunch early. When spring came, she was resting with her eyes closed. Her father had been contacting her frequently these days, asking her to pay close attention to all the movements in the mansion and all the actions of His Highness. She just felt annoyed.

No one knew what was going on, but Yu Qingli seemed to have suddenly become favored. Murong Feng always took her with him in everything he did, which made Yu Zhenzhen jealous and feel threatened. What's more, the Queen Mother also seemed to have a favorable eye for Yu Qingli and even invited her to the palace. All of this made Yu Zhenzhen very depressed.

"Empress Zhenfei, something terrible has happened!"

The sudden sound in her ear woke Yu Zhenzhen up suddenly. She opened her eyes with great dissatisfaction, her almond-shaped eyes full of anger.

"What are you making such a fuss about?"

"My Lady, this is terrible! The eldest prince has been seduced away by that little maid from the prince's concubine's courtyard."

Yu Zhenzhen frowned, "What are you yelling about? What's going on with this little maid?"

Chun Yi then told Yu Zhenzhen everything she had seen, exaggerating everything. After she finished, she anxiously said, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? We haven't even dealt with one prince's consort yet, and now this little devil has come. Doesn't that mean there's no place for you, Your Majesty?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You said you saw His Highness and Shu Yi? Is that true?"

Chun Yi said with a serious face: "I dare not say this nonsense, but this is indeed what I saw with my own eyes. Didn't the Queen order us to keep an eye on the whereabouts of His Highness and the Crown Princess? I went there and saw..."

"Okay! I get it!"

Yu Zhenzhen rubbed her slightly aching brows. It was terrible. She had to deal with Yu Qingli alone, but now there was another little maid. But why would His Highness be so caring towards such a little girl? It couldn't be love at first sight, could it?

How ridiculous!

"Mother, what should we do now?"

Yu Zhenzhen thought about it and suddenly smiled. She sat up from the couch, "Chun Yi, help me dress up. I'm going to visit my sister!"

Chun Yi was a little confused, but she heard Yu Zhenzhen muttering to herself, "How can such important news be hidden from my sister? If we're going to be upset, let's all be upset together."

Chunyi suddenly understood what her master meant. What was said was true. The master had nothing to worry about. The one who should be worried was the prince's wife. Besides, this palace maid was a reward from the empress dowager. If she really had some unclear connection with the eldest prince, she probably wouldn't have the courage to execute this palace maid.

Thinking of this, Chunyi felt that Empress Zhenfei was indeed a talented person.

"Chun Yi, your report has been meritorious. How about I reward you with ten taels of silver to supplement your household expenses?"

Chun Yi's face suddenly lit up with smiles, "Thank you, Master!"

Afterwards, Chunyi considerately changed Yu Zhenzhen into clean clothes, combed her hair into the most elegant bun, and went to find Yu Qingli with a proud look on her face. To be more precise, she went to attack Yu Qingli.

There was a table of very light meals in Yu Qingli's yard. As the weather was getting hotter, Yu Qingli preferred to dine in the pavilion in the yard rather than in the room. Fortunately, her place was usually quiet, but today it seemed particularly lively.

Yu Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the person walking towards her from afar.
