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

Chapter 346 A Cruel Woman

Just as Murong Yuan and Yu Zhenzhen were preparing to meet Murong Yanhui, the Queen Mother had already brought Qingluan to Anle Palace.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was in charge of taking care of Prince Yan, was a little surprised by the Queen Mother's arrival, especially when he saw her panic-stricken face and even excitement in her eyes, the doubts in his heart became more serious. When did the Empress Dowager become so concerned about her little uncle?

As soon as they entered the palace, the Queen Mother dismissed her attendants. Seeing that the Crown Prince was reluctant to leave, the Queen Mother frowned and said, "Cheng'er, go and have a rest first. I'll leave this to the Imperial Grandmother."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so insistent, Murong Cheng didn't say anything more. Perhaps she had something private to say to the little uncle, but he didn't know whether the little uncle would listen to her or not.

After bowing respectfully, Murong Cheng retreated. Although it was his father's order, he couldn't disobey the Queen Mother, could he? However, it was really surprising that the Queen Mother came here in such a hurry to visit the little uncle.

The magnificent palace suddenly became empty and quiet due to the departure of the servants. The lingering incense could not cover up the strong smell of alcohol on the person on the bed. The slightly pale face was so shocking in the eyes of the empress dowager.

"Hui'er, Hui'er..."

The Queen Mother sat by the bed, whispering softly, and her well-maintained fingers gently stroked Murong Yanhui's face. Even her fingertips were trembling slightly. Her eyes were already full of tears, carrying a deep affection like a mother's love.

Qingluan stood aside, her face full of self-blame. She had only been away for a few days, and the servants in the palace no longer cared about the prince's life or death. How embarrassing it made her.

"Cough cough cough..."

Murong Yanhui, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly started coughing and even whispered a name over and over again, "Lili... Lili... Lili..."

The Queen Mother felt a pang of pain in her heart, and then she became a little angry. She stood up from the bed and said, "You evil son, are you willing to give up your life for a woman? Your body and hair are given by your parents, and you actually ruin your body like this. Have you ever thought about how sad I am..."

As the Queen Mother spoke, she seemed to be thinking of something sad and began to sob. Qing Luan, who was standing beside her, consoled her, "Queen Mother, His Highness is still unconscious. He can't hear anything you say. Let's talk about it later."

The Queen Mother finally calmed down a bit and looked at Murong Yanhui thoughtfully, "Hui'er, do you really like that Yu Qingli?"

Qing Luan carefully considered her words, "I'm afraid he's already deeply in love. At least, in all the years I've followed His Highness, I've never seen him so devoted to anyone. It's a pity..."

The Queen Mother frowned. She knew what Qingluan was sorry for, but if Hui'er liked her so much, it wouldn't matter! She had always asked Qingluan to stop them, even at the cost of killing them. But at this moment, seeing Murong Yanhui lying there lifeless, her heart was moved. If a woman could cure Hui'er's heart disease, what reason did she have to stop them?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother said, "Qingluan, go and ask that woman to come over! I have something to say to her."

Qing Luan hesitated for a moment, "Master, isn't this a bit too hasty? If others knew about it, it wouldn't be good."

"What's wrong with that? I can still make the decision about the affairs in the harem! Don't worry about anything else, just go and bring people over!"

Qingluan left as she was told, while the empress dowager sat at the head of the bed, looking at Murong Yanhui's face thoughtfully.

Compared to the panic in Anle Palace, Ju'an Palace has been quiet and peaceful these days. Especially after the news of the deep love between the Crown Princess Yu Qingli and the eldest prince spread, the way people in the palace looked at Yu Qingli was obviously much different.

At this time, Yu Qingli was drawing at the desk. Under her brush was a green bamboo forest. With a few strokes of thick ink and light colors, she painted the elegant posture of the bamboo vividly.

Xiluo pushed the door open and came in, the expression on her face was not very good, and the eunuch Xiaoliuzi who followed closely behind her tried hard to keep calm, but his expression was uglier than crying.

Yu Qingli let out a long breath, "Come on, you two both seem to be hesitant to speak, have you done something wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuzi spoke first, "Miss, please go and see the prince. I heard that the prince hasn't eaten for three days and has drunk a lot of wine. He just vomited blood. Even the imperial physician went there. I heard that His Majesty was alarmed."

Yu Qingli frowned, her face calm, but her heart was already surging like a huge wave, "Is this what you want to say?"

Xiao Liuzi gritted his teeth and blurted out his true feelings, "Miss, the prince's feelings for you are obvious to all, but..."

To be honest, Xiao Liuzi had followed Murong Yanhui for many years and had the deepest feelings for her, so naturally he was somewhat dissatisfied with Yu Qingli's behavior. Moreover, he saw that the young lady was not heartless towards the prince, so why...

"How dare you! Xiaoliu, has your life outside the palace these past few years made you feel alive again? If you still speak so recklessly, I don't mind having someone else serve you."

Although Yu Qingli's words were serious, they were reminding Xiaoliu of one thing: there are some things in the harem that cannot be said casually!

Xiaoliu also knew that he was wrong. In fact, he would never make such a mistake. As a eunuch who was sent to the palace at the age of six, he had already seen through all the chaos in the harem. Today, he was probably confused because of his concern.

Xiao Liu fell to his knees, "Master, please punish me!"

Yu Qingli waved her hand slightly impatiently, "Get up, this is such a small matter that you don't need to be punished. Just be more careful in the future."

"Then, the prince..."

"If he doesn't take care of himself, what does it have to do with others?" Yu Qingli paused, "No! I still have to paint. You all should go out first."

Xiaoliu and Xiluo looked at each other, and no one said anything. They just retreated politely.

Yu Qingli looked at the picture of bamboo forest on the table, but she couldn't put down the brush in her hand. Her heart was in turmoil!

Perhaps because he held the brush for too long, the ink on the brush dripped onto the rice paper, spreading irregularly, making Yu Qingli's face look even uglier. She even threw the brush aside in a fit of anger and lost interest in painting anymore!

She was worried. She had been feeling uneasy since she heard two days ago that Murong Yan had closed the door to visitors and locked herself in the palace. However, the drama had not changed. For the past three days, she and Murong Feng had been together day and night, which was not necessarily a torment.

Chatting and laughing with her enemy, smiling at her enemy, and even being hypocritical in front of her enemy, all of this must be torture for her.

Therefore, even though she was worried that Murong Yan would not cherish her, and even though she wanted to explain, she could only continue to show her affection with Murong Feng. After all, who made her the eldest prince's consort instead of the Prince of Yan's consort?

However, what angered Yu Qingli the most was that this usually carefree man had actually gotten so caught up in this, and he was getting so serious about it. What was he doing? Was he being mean to himself or to her?

Couldn't he come over in person to ask about the situation? Rather than hearing about his drunken life, she hoped he would come over to her shamelessly like before. At least, it would ease the disgust she felt from being in contact with Murong Feng.

But unfortunately, when she was trying hard to face Murong Feng, the damn Murong Yanhui actually played such a trick on her.

He reached out and crumpled the painting on the table into a ball, then threw it into the trash can beside him. Then he heard the announcement from outside the door, "Aunt Qing wants to see you!"

Yu Qingli frowned. These two were really giving her a lot of trouble. Hadn't Concubine Qing been transferred to the Empress Dowager? How could she have the time to care about her, a prince's consort who had nothing to do with her? Unless, this was the Empress Dowager's intention.

No matter what, the visitor is a guest. Yu Qingli ordered, "Please let her in."

Qingluan walked in with a unhappy expression. She respectfully bowed to Yu Qingli and then explained her purpose.

"Miss Yu, I apologize for any offense I've caused you before. I hope you'll forgive me."

Yu Qingli raised an eyebrow. Could it be that Qingluan was here to apologize? So she didn't say anything and waited for Qingluan to continue.

"I came here today to ask the young lady to come."

"Where are you going?" Yu Qingli asked, seemingly knowing the answer.

"Anle Palace!"

Yu Qingli burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Did Aunt Qing invite the wrong person? I've heard about the prince's affairs. I think Aunt Qing is not going to invite Qingli, but the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, right?"

Aunt Qing was not angry when she heard this. After all, she was wrong before, but she was just following orders. Her eyes swept across Yu Qingli's face, as if trying to figure out how much truth and falsehood were in her words.

But soon, Aunt Qing was disappointed. Yu Qingli's eyes were too calm, completely calm, without any trace of worry or any outward emotion, as if they were discussing an unrelated person.

"Ms. Yu should know that heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine."

"Aunt Qing means Qingli is the medicine?"

Qing Luan stopped beating around the bush and said, "Miss Yu, I understand your concerns, but don't worry, the Queen Mother is in Anle Palace right now, and it was the Queen Mother's order that allowed you to go there, so no one will say anything."

Yu Qingli was speechless. What was this? A test for her? Unfortunately, in this harem, she trusted no one except herself.

"Aunt Qing, I'm truly sorry. First of all, I'm now the eldest prince's consort, not some Miss Yu. Secondly, the Empress Dowager has shown me favors, but Qingli can't go there right now. Later, I'll go visit the young uncle with the eldest prince and apologize to the Empress Dowager. Please convey my words to her."

Qingluan was frustrated and her face looked a little bad, but what she cared about more than these was that Yu Qingli dared to openly disobey the order.
