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

Chapter 502: Appealing to Emotion

Murong Yanhui didn't care at all. "So what if he saw it? Do you think I have to be so secretive when I come to the place where the person I like is?"

"Murong Yan, come back!"

Yu Qingli seemed very annoyed at Murong Yanhui's cheating, and even his voice became a little colder. He knew the current situation very well. If something else happened, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

Seeing that Yu Qingli was really angry, Murong Yanhui hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Lili, don't be angry. I was just teasing you. How could I let others see me coming here? The one who followed me was already dealt with by Changkong."

Yu Qingli's expression finally softened a bit, and Murong Yan smiled back, "Lili, are you worried about me?"

Yu Qingli rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't be so sentimental. I'm just afraid that some trouble will arise at a critical moment and I will have to deal with it."

"Lili..."

Murong Yanhui pretended to be aggrieved, Yu Qingli pretended not to see it, Xiluo on the side secretly found it funny, the master prince was becoming more and more like a wife slave, it was hard to imagine that not long ago, he was still the romantic prince that was talked about by word of mouth in the capital!

Yu Qingli walked to the side and sat on a chair. "What are you doing here today?"

"Can't I come over to see you if I'm alright? I heard the Queen made a scene at the court this morning. Was it your idea, Lili?"

"You are well-informed. It was indeed arranged by me."

"Oh? My Lili is really amazing. I wonder why the Queen is willing to listen to your orders?"

Murong Yanhui's eyes were full of pride. It was obvious that she really thought Yu Qingli was amazing, which made Yu Qingli feel a little embarrassed.

"It's just a matter of each taking what they need. I need someone to explore the way for me, and the Queen hopes someone can rescue Murong Feng."

Murong Yanhui suddenly smiled as if remembering something. "Didn't they say that Prime Minister Yu had already defected to the eldest prince's side? What's going on? Is there no way for him to rescue Murong Feng? Why did the Queen come to you?"

"In fact, I was the one who approached her. I hope that after this, they will obey my orders!"

Yu Qingli's beautiful big eyes were full of confidence, and her blazing gaze was so brilliant that Murong Yanhui's heart was moved and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

This is the woman he likes, so proud and beautiful, so attractive, he wishes he could keep her hidden in his heart all the time to prevent others from coveting her.

Yu Qingli turned her head and met Murong Yanhui's affectionate gaze. Her ears reddened slightly and she coughed. "If your Highness is alright, you should go back. I'll need your help in rescuing people! Besides, the Queen is probably going to come look for me. If she sees you here, I'm sure she'll become suspicious."

Murong Yan smiled back and said, "Don't worry, Lili. When have I ever delayed anything you asked me to do? Even Qingjiu said that I'm not his master now, you are!"

Yu Qingli blushed, but she was unable to refute Murong Yanhui's words. The longer they were together, the more dependent she became on this man!

Murong Yanhui stood up and left. When she reached the door, she spoke as if she remembered something. "Oh, by the way, Yue'er sent someone to bring a letter saying that he wants to see you. I didn't agree. Let's talk about it later."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Yue'er since returning to the palace. I do miss him a little, but now is not the best time. After I'm done with this, I'll keep Yue'er by my side for a few days."

Murong Yanhui smiled faintly in agreement, "Yue'er will be very happy to know this. In his heart, you, his mother, are much more important than me, his father."

Yu Qingli smiled slightly. When she thought of that lovely child, she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

While the two were talking, Xiaoliu came running over to report, "Master, Your Majesty, the Queen is here and is about to enter the palace."

Yu Qingli and Murong Yanhui looked at each other. This really is the case. Speak of the devil and he'll appear!

Murong Yanhui did not delay and followed Xiaoliu out of the side hall.

At times like this, it’s better to have less trouble than more!

Let’s put Queen Li aside and say that after Murong Shiling left the court, he went directly to the Imperial Dragon Palace. Concubine Yu had just gotten up and was having a meal. Since she became pregnant, she has been very sleepy, but the symptoms of morning sickness are not serious.

Murong Shileng walked into the hall with a solemn expression. When he raised his eyes, he saw Concubine Yu wearing a light pink palace dress, with a hint of smile on her pretty face. On the table in front of her was red bean and barley porridge, as well as some exquisite snacks. When she saw Murong Shileng come in, she quickly stood up, put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, and stepped forward to salute him.

"Your Majesty, you are back. Are you hungry? Why don't you eat something with me?"

Murong Shiling looked at Concubine Yu's face. In his eyes, she was so gentle and beautiful, not at all as cruel as Queen Li said. Perhaps, it was all just a misunderstanding?

Murong Shiling thought secretly, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

Concubine Yu noticed that his mood was not right and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? You seemed quite happy this morning. Is there something in the court that is troubling Your Majesty?"

"Nothing, just some ordinary things."

Murong Shileng responded perfunctorily and sat down at the dinner table. Seeing this, Concubine Yu hurried forward to serve him the dishes, showing her great consideration.

Murong Shiling was conflicted. After a moment's thought, he tentatively said, "I don't know if it's because of my recent illness, but I feel a bit overwhelmed in handling government affairs. I'm even considering abdicating sooner rather than later so I can enjoy my remaining years."

Imperial Concubine Yu's heart was pounding when she heard this. What did the Emperor mean by this? If he abdicated at this time, wouldn't her child be doomed to failure? No, she must stop this!

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why are you thinking of abdicating? But what did someone in the court say? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't wait to ascend the throne?"

If Murong Shiling had heard Concubine Yu's words before, he would not have thought too much about it. However, Queen Li's previous commotion made him more suspicious, but he remained calm.

"That's not the case. It's just that I suddenly feel old. Look, the Crown Prince and the First Prince are both married now, and my grandson will be born soon. If I continue to occupy the throne, wouldn't it be a bit boring? After all, the world belongs to the young. I might as well rest early and find a quiet place to live a few years of happy life."

Concubine Yu's expression changed again and again, and this subtle expression naturally fell into Murong Shileng's eyes, making his heart a little colder.

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible for you to abdicate, but now is not a good time. Your Highness the Crown Prince is still immature, and the First Prince is still thinking about vying for power. Although the Northern Kingdom has been defeated, there's no guarantee it will make a comeback. It's truly a situation of internal and external troubles. Besides, Your Majesty is still young and in such good health. Why dwell on these things..."

"Yu'er seems to be very opposed to my abdication?"

Murong Shileng's tone was calm, but Concubine Yu suddenly felt frightened. There was a gleam of cruelty in Murong Shileng's eyes just now. She didn't know if it was her illusion. She had been trembling with fear these days, afraid that she would say or do the wrong thing, so she was particularly sensitive.

Hearing Murong Shiling's words, Imperial Concubine Yu hurriedly knelt down and replied, "I dare not! How could I understand the affairs of the court? I only know to serve Your Majesty well. Your Majesty is my heaven. Without Your Majesty's protection, how can I and my unborn child survive in this palace?"

Murong Shiling frowned even more. He glanced at Concubine Yu thoughtfully, "Alright, get up quickly. I was just saying that. Why are you so nervous? You're right. I'm not too old to walk, so how could I abdicate so easily? Even for the sake of peace in this world, I wouldn't do that."

Only then did Imperial Concubine Yu show joy on her face, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Murong Shiling helped Concubine Yu up and looked at the breakfast she brought to him. Suddenly, he lost his appetite. He stood up and ordered, "You eat. I'll go to the imperial study."

Although Concubine Yu had doubts in her heart, she did not try to keep Murong Shileng, and even felt proud that she could influence Murong Shileng's decision.

Murong Shiling walked out of the Imperial Dragon Palace, but he felt depressed. The weather was getting colder, most of the wintersweets were in bloom, and the New Year was just a few days away, but he didn't feel any joy at all.

The test just now made him extremely disappointed in Concubine Yu. Although he was still not sure whether the person who poisoned him was Concubine Yu, he could tell from her words just now that Concubine Yu was ambitious. She was worried that if he abdicated now, it would be detrimental to the child in her womb.

Moreover, in recent days, Murong Shileng clearly felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Yu. She no longer had the arrogance she had when they first met, but instead became a bit more flattering. How was she different from other women in the palace? It was really disappointing!

Is it true that he can't find a woman in this harem whom he can truly regard as his confidant?

A pair of cold eyes flashed through Murong Shiling's mind. Yes, there was indeed one! That person was neither arrogant nor impatient, with a respectful and distant attitude. His words and actions carried a sense of nobleness and coldness. If it weren't for the appearance of Concubine Yu, he would have thought of taking that woman for himself.

Thinking of this, Murong Shiling felt a little more excited, as happy as a naughty child who finally found his lost toy.

"Little Fuzi, show off to Ju'an Palace!"

Eunuch Fu was stunned. What was the Emperor thinking? Why was he suddenly going to Ju'an Hall?

Seeing Eunuch Fu in a daze, Murong Shiling asked with some dissatisfaction, "What? Didn't you hear my order?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will report to Ju'an Palace and have someone come to welcome you..."

Murong Shiling thought for a moment and said, "No need to make a fuss. I want to go quietly!"

Eunuch Fu's heart trembled, and he vaguely guessed the emperor's thoughts. He immediately lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "I obey your command!"

But she was muttering in her heart, not knowing whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the emperor suddenly paid attention to Ju'an Palace.
