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

Chapter 211 Beware of Assassins

Seeing this, Murong Feng rushed forward and tried to take Yu Qingli from Murong Yanhui's hands, but Murong Yanhui was unwilling to let go. He glanced at Murong Feng coldly and said, "I will just take her back."

"Qingli...are you okay?"

This time, Murong Feng did not force it. After all, this disaster was caused by his own sister, and he couldn't even protect his own woman, which really made him depressed.

"Nothing, just fell asleep."

Walking under the moonlight, Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli's figures merged into one. Even Murong Feng felt like he was the outsider, even though Yu Qingli was his fiancée.

After returning to the room, Murong Yanhui did not stay any longer. He walked out of the door. Xiluo was kneeling on the bluestone road with his head lowered and a look of guilt on his face.

"Master, please punish me!"

Murong Yanhui glanced at her calmly and said, "You are Lili's maid now. Whether to punish her or not will be decided after Lili wakes up."

Xiluo lowered her head and said nothing, with no intention of standing up. What happened today was her fault. If she had quietly followed the young lady at that time, at least the young lady would not be trapped alone in the dense forest.

"Qingli... Is Qingli okay now?"

Before Murong Yanhui left, Empress Li and Concubine Lin had already arrived. Seeing that it was Murong Yanhui who brought her back, they were a little surprised. Where was Murong Feng? At this time, wasn't it time for him to be a hero and save the beautiful girl?

Murong Yanhui nodded to Empress Li and the others and said, "My two sisters-in-law, I've been busy for half the night. I'm tired and will take my leave for now."

If he continued to stay, it would only bring unnecessary trouble to Yu Qingli. Presumably, this was what Yu Qingli didn't want right now.

Queen Li said sincerely, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help. When Qingli wakes up, I will definitely let her and Feng'er thank you in person!"

"No need!" Murong Yan replied and turned to leave.

After Queen Li and others checked on Yu Qingli and confirmed that she was just asleep and not seriously injured, they also left the room. After all the trouble they had been doing for a long time, they decided to let her have a good rest.

Yu Qingli had an unexpectedly good dream that night. In the dream, a pair of warm big hands were holding her hands all the time. Even in the pitch-black night, she did not lose her way.

The slightly dazzling sunlight woke Yu Qingli from her dream. Looking at the slightly unfamiliar room, she slowly closed her eyes. She was really rescued.

In a night like that, the most terrifying thing is actually loneliness. You can't see anything around you, and you can't hear any other voices except your own heartbeat. She even feels that if Murong Yan comes back a little later, her spirit will almost collapse.

But fortunately, she was rescued before any disaster happened.

Even with the bright sunshine on this late autumn morning, it felt chilly. Yu Qingli looked around but didn't see Xiluo. She immediately felt worried. Could it be? Xiluo had been implicated? Someone was using her own imprisonment to make a fuss about Xiluo...

Yu Qingli quickly got out of bed and walked out of the room. When she saw the figure kneeling on the stone road in the sunlight, she finally felt relieved.

After a sleepless night, Xiluo looked a little haggard, but her spirit was not at all slack. Seeing Yu Qingli coming out, a trace of guilt flashed across her face, "Miss..."

Yu Qingli smiled lightly, "Xiluo, what are you doing?"

"Please punish me, young lady! I failed to protect my master and I deserve to be punished!"

"You knelt here all night last night?!"

Xiluo remained silent. Yu Qingli sighed and said, "Xiluo, get up. You've already knelt for a whole night, so it's considered a punishment."

"How can this be done..."

"Why not?!"

A trace of gratitude flashed across Xiluo's eyes, "Miss, I swear on my life that from today on, I will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest!"

Yu Qingli stepped forward and helped Xiluo up. "Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. Your task now is to rest as soon as possible. There will be more important things to do later."

Thinking of the task Yu Qingli had given him before departure, Xiluo nodded and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I won't let you down."

At lunch time, everyone went to the dining hall, and during the prayer period, everyone had to follow the rules of the temple.

When Yu Qingli arrived at the cafeteria, everyone was already seated, except for the empty seat next to Murong Feng, which was probably reserved for Yu Qingli.

Seeing Yu Qingli coming over, Murong Yuan's expression changed, but there was no trace of guilt.

"Yuan'er, why don't you apologize to Qingli quickly." Murong Feng gracefully put down the chopsticks in his hand and ordered sternly.

Murong Yuan turned her face away and said unconvincedly, "She didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize?"

"Yuan'er, you're so willful! What happened yesterday was your fault, and you don't even show the slightest remorse. Don't you think that's too much?!"

Murong Feng's voice also became cold. Although Murong Yuan was his sister, she was too disrespectful to him.

Murong Yuan retorted, "It's not your turn to lecture me, my royal brother. I even suspected she stayed inside on purpose yesterday."

"Murong Yuan! You!"

"Okay, talk less, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping. Didn't I teach you this before?" Queen Li spoke in a cold voice. It was really embarrassing that they were fighting in front of Concubine Lin, making a fool of themselves.

From beginning to end, Yu Qingli didn't say a word, and Murong Yanhui didn't say anything either. He just looked at Yu Qingli steadily, his eyes full of concern.

The blessing ceremony was not stopped because of this little incident and continued as usual.

Another day passed like this, and after the morning prayer ceremony, it was time for Queen Li and others to return to the palace.

Yu Qingli's expression also began to become serious. It was about to begin! The real danger had just begun.

Just like when they came, the guards were divided into two groups, front and back, to escort Queen Li and others down the mountain.

The sky was as blue as when they came, with light clouds and gentle breeze. The autumn wind was blowing, and the fallen leaves on the mountain were rustling. Yu Qingli walked behind Queen Li and others, feeling more and more nervous.

Assassin, when will he come?

Xiluo followed Yu Qingli, only a fist's distance away. Suddenly, Xiluo whispered, "Miss, be careful, they're coming!"

Yu Qingli nodded slightly, also looking very nervous.

"Wait a moment, Madam!"

A monk's voice came from the stone steps. Yu Qingli and others stopped and looked up. It was the monk named Sikong who was beside Master Qiu Chan.

"What's the matter, Master Sikong?"

Before Sikong could get close, he was stopped by the accompanying guards. Sikong clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master asked me to come and give Her Majesty a gift. Master said that I must give it to Her Majesty personally."

The guards looked at Queen Li with questioning eyes. Although Queen Li felt a little strange, she vaguely felt that it might be related to the fortune drawn by Yu Qingli, so she ordered: "It's okay, let him come over."

The monk named Sikong walked forward step by step, very steadily. He lowered his head and his expression could not be seen clearly. Looking at this monk, Yu Qingli felt vaguely uneasy. It was really strange. She always felt that this person was different from the Master Sikong she had met before.

Yu Qingli suddenly opened her eyes wide. This man was not a monk, he was an assassin!

"Empress, beware of assassins!"

Almost at the same time, the monk pulled out a dagger from his huge robe and stabbed it straight at Queen Li. The guards had not yet reacted, but Xiluo nimbly stood in front of Queen Li, and the sword at his waist blocked the brutal knife.

If the first attack fails, it will be impossible to assassinate again. The surrounding guards rushed forward and surrounded the assassin, and Murong Feng and others also quickly surrounded the assassin's position.

The monk was furious. If Yu Qingli had not reminded him, his assassination would not have failed. He immediately turned around and stabbed Yu Qingli with the dagger in his hand.

This sudden change stunned the guards for a moment, and they even forgot to save Yu Qingli.

It happened so quickly that a black figure flashed through the crowd like lightning and quickly stood in front of Yu Qingli, and the dagger cut through the man's arm.

When the assassin stabbed Yu Qingli, she was also shocked. When she came to her senses, she was already meeting Murong Yanhui's worried face.

Murong Yan responded with a neat flying kick, and the assassin was kicked away, and the dagger in his hand had already flown down the mountain.

Queen Li was still in shock. Seeing Murong Yanhui injured, she quickly stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me. Your Highness, you..."

"It doesn't matter!"

Murong Yanhui spoke lightly, looking at Yu Qingli with burning eyes, "Lili, you are not scared, right?"

Yu Qingli shook her head. Murong Yuan beside her also came to her senses. She screamed and stepped forward, pulling Murong Yanhui away from Yu Qingli, "Little Uncle, you are injured!"

Murong Yanhui frowned and shook off Murong Yuan's hand without leaving a trace. "It's just a minor injury. It seems that this place is not safe. It's better for the two imperial sisters-in-law to return to the palace as soon as possible."

Queen Li nodded with lingering fear. Although Concubine Lin beside her didn't say a word from beginning to end, her expression was very ugly.

"How can that be? Minor injuries should not be ignored. It's better to find a doctor to see them." Murong Yuan insisted, "Why don't I accompany the little uncle down the mountain to find a clinic?"

"No need, Lili can handle such a minor injury."

Queen Li looked at Yu Qingli with an inquiring look. She had never heard of this matter. So Yu Qingli was also well versed in medicine?

Yu Qingli sighed inwardly. Although she didn't want to stay, it was Murong Yan who saved her just now. It was really hard to repay this favor.

In response to Queen Li's question, Yu Qingli replied, "Qingli has nothing to do, so I like to read some medical books, but I have never bandaged a wound before."

"Little uncle, did you hear that? This might be too unreliable. It would be better to go to a clinic at the foot of the mountain."
