Chapter 351 After the rain, the sky is clear
Yu Qingli continued, "Since His Royal Highness Prince Yan is fine, then Qingli will leave for now. However, it's better not to do such self-abuse in the future. After all, it hurts yourself and others! Only when you are healthy can you do what you want, right? The man I like will never be a coward!"
After a few words, Yu Qingli called out in a low voice, "Xiluo, let's go back!"
Behind her, Murong Yanhui's eyes were bright. Although she was not in good condition, she seemed to be in great spirits.
That night, the eunuchs and maids in Anle Palace heard Prince Yan's summons, saying that they wanted to drink porridge and asked someone to invite the imperial physician. So in the middle of the night, Anle Palace was as lively as it was during the day, with people delivering porridge and decocting medicine.
The palace maids serving in the palace were secretly surprised. How could His Royal Highness Prince Yan come back to life after waking up like this?
After all, he had a good foundation. Although he had upset his stomach, with the careful treatment of the imperial physician and Murong Yanhui's active cooperation, the symptoms disappeared in just two days. Apart from the fact that his stomach needed to be well cared for, Murong Yanhui seemed to have no other discomfort.
When the news reached the empress dowager's ears, she tightened the Buddhist beads in her hand in the Buddhist temple, obviously relieved. But after learning the real reason why Murong Yanhui suddenly got better, she couldn't help but frown slightly, with a complicated expression.
After a while, the Queen Mother sighed deeply and gave Qing Luan a new order, "From today on, give up that mission."
Qingluan's expression paused, then she was delighted. This was really great. She couldn't wait to tell Prince Yan the news, but she knew she couldn't say it. However, the order that she didn't have to assassinate Yu Qingli really relieved her. Otherwise, what should she do, caught between the Queen Mother and the Prince?
However, when they heard that Murong Yanhui had recovered from his illness, some people felt disappointed, like Yu Zhenzhen, who had been expecting to take advantage of Murong Yanhui's situation, but she didn't expect that she didn't have any chance at all.
Most people were puzzled. What on earth was Murong Yanhui acting like? One moment he was dying, and the next moment he was full of energy!
However, these people's attention was soon diverted to other things, such as the Persian prince entering the palace!
It was a fine day, and at Murong Yue's repeated requests, Qingli had no choice but to bring him to see the "Mountain Ghost". However, after the previous "Hongmen Banquet" incidents, Yu Qingli knew in her heart that Murong Yue's disturbance must be related to Murong Yanhui, and today would be no exception. In addition to Murong Yue, there must be Murong Yanhui in the box.
When he pushed open the door of the box on the third floor, as expected, he saw Murong Yanhui's smiling face, and the luxurious life that Murong Yue had obtained after selling his mother for fame and fortune.
When Murong Yue saw Yu Qingli coming in, her round little body immediately rolled down from the couch, bringing with it a bag of food crumbs.
He hugged Yu Qingli's legs.
"Mom, why did you come just now? Yue'er was waiting so anxiously." Murong Yue said as she rubbed against Yu Qingli's body. There was a mess of stuff stuck on her lips, and it all stuck to Yu Qingli's skirt.
Yu Qingli didn't get angry. She just wiped Murong Yue's face lovingly before saying, "If I had come earlier, would you have been able to eat so much? If you eat like this and get a stomachache later, I won't take care of you."
Murong Yue smiled when she heard this, "The hawthorn paste that mother cooked last time was excellent. If you feel full, just scoop a spoonful and it will definitely be fine."
Murong Yanhui finally found an excuse to interrupt and immediately said, "Lili, why don't I have this hawthorn paste?"
Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui and pulled Murong Yue to sit down. "Hawthorn paste is just an ordinary thing. How could it catch the eye of the emperor's uncle?"
"The hawthorn paste made by Lili is not an ordinary one. Are you going to be so partial to her?" Murong Yanhui said as he moved closer to Yu Qingli.
Yu Qingli hurriedly brought the plump Murong Yue closer to Murong Yanhui, "Uncle, the show is about to begin."
"Great, great, let's watch the show, watch the show." Murong Yue clapped her hands happily, and Murong Yanhui had to sit back in her seat in boredom.
Murong Yanhui felt somewhat lost. Ever since he recovered from his illness, Lili had never spoken to him on her own initiative. If it weren't for the clearly visible teeth marks on his chest, he would have really thought that everything was just a dream.
However, when thinking of the scene on that day, Murong Yanhui felt a warm current surging in his chest. He felt that his feelings for so many times were not in vain. After all, he had won some feelings from Yu Qingli. Even if she could not accept him completely now, at least he had taken the first step, right?
What's more, if I didn't understand what she said that day, wouldn't I be ashamed of her friendship?
Murong Yue looked at her father's lost expression and couldn't help but wrinkled her nose. "Father, what's wrong with you? Are you still not feeling well?"
Murong Yanhui held Murong Yue on his lap and said, "Don't worry, Yue'er. Father is fine now. He just wants to eat some hawthorn paste."
"Then if Mother makes it for Yue'er later, Yue'er can save some for Father, okay?"
"Yue'er still loves me!" Murong Yanhui said as he glanced at Yu Qingli with a resentful look. The pitiful look made Yu Qingli feel a chill.
Only a grown man with a little boy on his back should have an expression. If it weren't for his stunningly beautiful face, it would really make people vomit!
Yu Qingli kept a straight face and didn't look at Murong Yanhui. She pretended to be serious and lectured Murong Yue, "Yue'er, although this hawthorn paste is delicious, you must not be greedy. It hurts your stomach. Don't damage your stomach at such a young age!"
Yue'er's eyes turned, "Yue'er knows! Father, do you know?"
"Well! Father naturally knows this!" Murong Yan smiled back with a happy face. It turned out that Lili cared about him. For a moment, his eyes were full of joy.
Yu Qingli coughed lightly to remind Murong Yanhui not to get carried away!
Seeing this, Murong Yanhui immediately changed the subject, "Lili, I heard from Linlang that you personally dispatched this mountain ghost?"
Yu Qingli just smiled without saying anything, but Murong Yanhui's eyes lit up. Thinking of her charming dance at the emperor's birthday banquet earlier, his heart was moved. If one day, Lili was willing to dance for him alone, how exciting that would be.
Yu Qingli seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled faintly, "It's better not to think about unrealistic things."
Murong Yanhui was speechless. When did Lili develop this ability to see into people's hearts? How could she guess so accurately?
He couldn't help but feel happy. The fact that Lili could guess what he was thinking only meant that she cared about him more and more, right?
So, a certain prince who was immersed in his own thoughts had a smug look on his face.
Compared to Murong Yan's return, Yu Qingli did not have such a leisurely mood. She frowned slightly, and the news brought by Concubine Yu flashed through her mind.
Your Majesty is already thoroughly investigating the assassination in Weichang. I heard that three forces were involved: Murong Feng, Yu Zhengsha, and the Queen Mother.
The first two people were within Yu Qingli's calculations, but the empress dowager made Yu Qingli a little confused. The empress dowager's behavior in recent times was really weird. Even Murong Yanhui would become serious involuntarily whenever she mentioned her. It can be seen that this empress dowager was not as simple as she imagined, and seemed to be planning some conspiracy.
It is said that among those who attacked the prince, some evidence that was closely related to Cixin Palace has been discovered. The specific evidence is not clear yet. Concubine Yu only said that the emperor was in a bad mood that day, and he was not as gentle as usual when he came to see her every day.
"Lili, what are you thinking about?" Although Murong Yanhui used watching the dance and music as an excuse, his eyes never left Yu Qingli from beginning to end. Seeing her frowning, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.
When Yu Qingli came to her senses, she saw Murong Yanhui's bright eyes, which were fixed on her with such intense gaze that her heart immediately felt warmed and she even felt a little flushed.
Seeing Yu Qingli's slightly red ears, Murong Yanhui's mood brightened up, and he regained his usual charming and charming demeanor. A faint smile appeared on his face, "Huh? Lili, why are you blushing?"
Yu Qingli turned her head away in embarrassment. Ever since she visited Anle Palace day and night, something was obviously wrong with her. It seemed that she couldn't help blushing whenever she met his affectionate gaze. This kind of reaction really made her helpless.
Perhaps it was because she realized that her feelings had been opened to the man in front of her, Yu Qingli's heart, which had been empty for a long time, began to slowly fill up. Whether it was a word from him, a look, or even a small gift, it would make her excited.
Seeing Yu Qingli like this, Murong Yanhui had no interest in watching the performance anymore and only focused his eyes on the beauty beside him.
Yu Qingli's cheeks grew hotter as he looked at her. She used her last bit of rationality to speak coldly, "If the young uncle doesn't think this dance is good, then Qingli will go back first."
Yu Qingli stood up, feeling three parts shy, three parts angry, and three parts embarrassed. At this moment, she really wanted to leave.
Murong Yanhui knew that he couldn't be impatient, so he immediately restrained his fiery gaze and just smiled, "Lili, don't spoil the fun. It's rare for you to come over. Linlang still has something to talk to us about later!"
Murong Yanhui said as she reached out and touched the top of Murong Yue's head, "Linlang hasn't seen Yue'er for some time."
After hearing Murong Yanhui's words so casually, Yu Qingli really couldn't leave. Mother and son are inseparable by nature. Even though Murong Yue grew up in the palace, Qu Linlang was still worried about her. It was difficult for her to see Murong Yue with her status, and now that Murong Yanhui lived in the palace, it was even more difficult to meet.
Yu Qingli had experienced this kind of deep longing between mother and son before, so she decided immediately that there was no need to deprive Qu Linlang and Murong Yue of the right to be together as mother and son just because Murong Yanhui came back, right?
