Chapter 356 Having an affair with him
Afterwards, Yu Qingli quietly left Wolong Palace, and Concubine Yu called a few palace maids to go to the garden to appreciate the flowers together, which made these palace maids very depressed. What happened to the Empress? It was so cold, and she didn't sleep so early in the morning to go to this garden to appreciate the flowers. It was really unexpected.
However, although it was an accident, no one dared to say anything, because Concubine Yu was the treasure of His Majesty now.
However, after untying the knot in her heart, Concubine Yu was having a good time. Despite the cold weather, she was in a good mood. In comparison, Yu Qingli was not as relaxed as her. The news she got from Concubine Yu made her extremely surprised, and she also felt a little surprised.
If the news about Concubine Yu was true, she would have to think carefully about this matter. If someone really was impersonating the Queen Mother, what was their purpose? What was the deeper meaning behind the events in the enclosure?
She didn't think that the Queen Mother was just bored and wanted to assassinate him for fun. If the forces from all sides had not been in chaos at that time, the assassination might have been successful.
And the consequences are also shocking!
Canghe's royal bloodline is thin. By Murong Shiling's generation, there are only two descendants, Murong Feng and Murong Cheng. There was originally a third prince, but he died of smallpox at a young age. The other children are all princesses. If this operation succeeds, the throne...
Yu Qingli was secretly shocked. Could it be that the Queen Mother's real purpose was to help Murong Yan come back?
How can it be!
The more Yu Qingli thought about it, the more headache she felt, so she simply decided not to think about anything.
Yu Qingli half-leaned on the chair in front of the window, slightly closing her eyes. The warm autumn sun shone on her face, making her already delicate features even more exquisite and refined. When Murong Feng walked into the hall, he saw Yu Qingli in this state at a glance.
His heart moved slightly, an inexplicable feeling flashed by, and he actually felt a little proud. Such a woman is his wife!
Thinking of this, Murong Feng curled his lips slightly and had to admit that he had indeed been interested in this woman these days, which he shouldn't have been. She was obviously only eighteen or nineteen years old, but the calmness and composure she occasionally showed were so mature and elegant, but it didn't make people feel abrupt, as if she was supposed to be that kind of person.
Thinking of Qiu Hen's report the day before, he became more curious about his little wife. How many things was she hiding from him?
Walking into the hall, Murong Feng's expression was indifferent, but with a bit of majesty, as if a storm was about to come. Yu Qingli heard the footsteps and thought it was Xiluo, so she whispered, "Xiluo, go out first. I need to think about something."
"Oh? What are you thinking about? May I know?"
Yu Qingli was shocked when she heard this. A trace of panic flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared, leaving only tenderness and a smile. She stood up from the chair and faced Murong Feng's face, her eyes clear as a spring. "Your Highness, you're back?"
Murong Feng rarely looked serious. He was very similar to the emperor. He was always gentle and elegant in his daily life and was a recognized gentleman in the court. Only Yu Qingli knew that behind that gentle face was a heart of a beast.
She even clearly remembered how he cruelly tore up her true heart and how he mocked her ignorance.
All this happened as if it happened yesterday, which made Yu Qingli feel a little cautious.
"What? Are you unhappy to see me back?"
Those were clearly questions, but because of that gentle expression, people thought it was just an ordinary joke. This was how I understood it in my previous life, but I lost my life because of this misunderstanding. Now that I think about it, my death was not unjust.
In this world, foolish people always go astray! But now she is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past!
Yu Qingli lowered her eyes, her eyes and eyebrows full of gentleness, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? I am your concubine. I look forward to your return every day. How can I not be happy?"
Murong Feng suddenly stretched out his hand, and clasped Yu Qingli's chin with his slender white fingers, forcing her to look at him. There was silence in his deep eyes, and a faint flash of imperceptible coldness.
"Really? Why do I feel like your face doesn't say that?"
Yu Qingli was puzzled. What could have caused Murong Feng to be so angry? The doubt flashed across her mind, but Murong Feng caught her red-handed.
"What? Have you thought of it yet?"
His eyes were full of mockery and a hurt that puzzled Yu Qingli. If she didn't know clearly that the man in front of her was Murong Feng, who had treated her feelings like worthless in his previous life, at that moment, she would almost think that he was in love with her.
She twitched her lips in self-mockery, her eyes still as cold as ever, "Qingli doesn't know what Your Highness is talking about, so if you have something to say, just say it!"
"Yu Qingli, you're really good at pretending. Let me ask you, what's going on?"
As Murong Feng spoke, he took out some pieces of paper from his sleeve and threw them at Yu Qingli's face. The anger on his face didn't look fake at all.
Yu Qingli looked at him steadily, feeling a little surprised. Having lived two lives, she thought she had already seen through this man's character. He was a modest gentleman, gentle as jade. Even if he was angry, he would never show it like this. But now this man's anger did not seem fake.
The doubts in his heart became stronger and stronger. Could it be that after he was reborn, Murong Feng's temperament had changed?
No matter how confused she was, the most important thing was to solve the problem at hand. She picked up the notes and read them carefully.
"On September 23rd, the princess consort met a man at a cloth shop in the city. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the man's name was Xiao Yu, and he was the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."
"On September 26th, the princess left the palace and later appeared in a teahouse with Xiao Yu. She returned to the palace in the evening."
"On September 30th, the princess left the palace and her whereabouts remain unknown."
"October 11th, Princess..."
The more Yu Qingli read, the more frightened she became. Yet, she also found it quite amusing. When had she, Yu Qingli, become so well-regarded? Furthermore, even her every word and action was recorded so clearly.
"What? You have nothing to say?" Murong Feng's lips suddenly curled up into a light smile, but his eyes were faintly bloodshot. "Don't you think you should explain yourself?"
"Explain?" Yu Qingli smiled lightly. "What kind of explanation does Your Highness want? Since Your Highness has investigated so thoroughly, what else is there for Qingli to explain? Besides, I believe I have done nothing wrong, so what else do I need to explain?"
Yu Qingli's eyes were surprisingly bright, frank and pure, as if she had done nothing wrong.
Murong Feng frowned slightly. He had anticipated thousands of possible outcomes, but he had never expected Yu Qingli to be so calm.
Such a result can only mean two things: either Yu Qingli is really very open-minded, or this woman is very good at acting. However, to be able to act so well, this person is really not as simple as she looks.
Murong Feng suddenly laughed. "Well, since you don't want to say it yourself, then I'll ask you, what is your relationship with this Xiao Yu? I heard that you had an affair with him!"
Yu Qingli faced Murong Feng directly with a frank expression, "Your Highness also knows that it is just hearsay. Rumors stop at the wise. Some things, when spread by word of mouth, are prone to misunderstanding, aren't they?"
Murong Feng snorted coldly, "I didn't expect you to be so eloquent. Now let me ask you again. I heard that you two knew each other when you were in Jiangnan. Apparently, you are his savior?"
"I can't call him a lifesaver. At most, I just did a little favor. However, since Your Highness has investigated so thoroughly, you should know that Brother Xiao and I are just brothers and sisters. Besides, he's just helping me look after the shop in the capital. What could there be between us?"
"What a brother-sister relationship! Your Highness, I don't know when you became so close to the Crown Prince!"
Yu Qingli frowned, puzzled by Murong Feng's sudden accusation, "What does this have to do with the prince?"
"What? You're so close to Xiao Yu but you don't know he's the Crown Prince's advisor? It seems like Xiao Yu is still wary of you!"
Yu Qingli was shocked when she heard this. Although she had vaguely guessed something before, she didn't expect that Xiao Yu was loyal to Murong Cheng. She never thought of this.
Her pretty face suddenly turned red and white, not knowing whether it was out of embarrassment or something else. Only the coldness between her brows remained, which made Yu Qingli calm down a little. She looked up at Murong Feng. When he was serious, he looked 50% similar to Murong Cheng. He looked difficult to approach. I really don’t know how such a scheming and ruthless person could pretend to be a gentleman.
The surprise in her heart faded a little, and Yu Qingli regained her composure. "I just hired him as the shopkeeper. What does his status have to do with me?"
"You're quite calm. Are you sure Xiao Yu won't turn against you? Or are you hoping his master can help you? Could it be that you've always wanted to marry the Crown Prince?"
Murong Feng's words calmed Yu Qingli down completely. No! This was definitely not something Murong Feng would say. He was always proud and wanted to save face, and he liked to beat around the bush when doing things. Such direct questioning was definitely not Murong Feng's style.
My heart immediately turned cold, "Who are you?"
Murong Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "What? You're actually starting to doubt me, I'm your husband!"
"Brother Feng is gentle and refined. Even if he is unhappy, he would not be so unreasonable, irritable, or even cold and heartless. Tell me, who are you?"
After hearing what Yu Qingli said, Murong Feng's expression suddenly changed. He sneered and looked at Yu Qingli, "I really didn't expect that the first person to discover my existence would be you!"
"who are you?"
