EBE Chapter 205: Plan Failed
Chapter 205: Plan Failed
Murong Yanhui felt a chill all over his body, and the anger in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was so obvious that Murong Feng couldn't smile anymore. "Little Uncle..."
"This prince never jokes with you. Since Lili is destined to be unlucky, do you think my brother would agree to her marrying into the palace? Even if my brother agrees, I'm afraid my sister-in-law would object, right?"
"So what?!" Murong Feng calmed himself down. What was this about bad luck in life? It was most likely a trap set by Yu Zhengsha. Once he took the initiative to cancel the engagement with Yu Qingli, the situation in the court would probably change drastically.
He would never take any risks. His father had finally changed his mind, and his position as crown prince was just around the corner. How could he lose here so easily?
He is destined to be the true dragon emperor. Regardless of how credible the words of these so-called monks are, even if it is true, he will not give up this opportunity.
Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. How could things not develop in the direction they expected?!
Wang, in particular, was stunned. Yu Zhenzhen was also filled with resentment. What was wrong with these men? Didn't they understand what Master Kongzhu said? Faced with a woman who might bring bad luck to her husband and children, they were still fighting over her.
Especially, the man who shocked her so much, actually, actually favored Yu Qingli like this? !
Really not reconciled!
She immediately stepped forward and saluted towards Murong Feng and Murong Yanhui, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't offend the relationship. Although it is indeed sad that my sister is destined to be alone, but..."
Two fierce gazes made Yu Zhenzhen stop talking. The eyes of the two men were terrifying. Murong Yan's response was a warning, while Murong Feng's was one of murderous intent. It seemed that if she said one more word, they would definitely kill her.
Taking a fearful step back, Yu Zhenzhen was completely baffled. Why?! What was so good about Yu Qingli?! Was she worth these two elite warriors fighting over her?!
Yu Zhengsha looked at Yu Zhenzhen meaningfully, then his eyes moved between Murong Yanhui and Murong Feng. Neither of these two people could be his son-in-law!
Yu Qingli suddenly felt a little bored. She glanced at Murong Yanhui with an indifferent expression and said softly, "You're nosy!"
Then she turned around and walked towards Liuliju. Since so many people outside had taken the initiative to help solve the problem, there was no need for her to show up.
Murong Yanhui and Murong Feng were facing each other head on, neither of them was willing to give in. Although their goals were different, what they wanted to do was very similar. No matter what, they both wanted to
To get Yu Qingli!
They stared into each other's eyes in a lightning-fast contest, with a scorching light shining in each other's eyes. One was vicious, the other was evil, and there was a sense of tit-for-tat.
But the most important audience has left!
"Lili..."
Seeing Yu Qingli leaving, Murong Yanhui followed her closely. The protagonist had left, and there was no point in continuing this play. He couldn't chase after her directly in front of everyone. After all, Yu Qingli was the crown prince's consort appointed by the emperor!
Comparatively speaking, Murong Feng had fewer concerns. After explaining things to Yu Zhengsha, he hurried into Liuliju.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Murong Yanhui's eyes. Yu Zhenzhen took the initiative to step forward and said, "It's rare for Your Highness to come to our house. I just happened to make some fresh osmanthus cake today. Would Your Highness like to try some?"
Murong Yanhui glanced at Yu Zhenzhen coldly. This woman's thoughts were really obvious, but they were really ugly!
Murong Yanhui immediately declined, "No need, I have something else to do." He then took something out of his arms and handed it to Yu Zhengsha, "This is from my brother, the emperor, for the prime minister. I'll take my leave now!"
Yu Zhengsha took the brocade box, feeling somewhat puzzled. His Majesty had always distrusted the Prince of Yan, so why would he allow him to send something to him? This matter was indeed rather strange, but the most important thing now was probably to clean up this mess.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I'll just let my servant come over for such a small matter..."
"Your Majesty, what are the small matters?! Moreover, my brother has instructed me to personally deliver the things to His Majesty. How can I let others do it?!"
What Murong Yanhui didn't say was that he had originally wanted to take the opportunity of delivering the letter to meet Yu Qingli, but he didn't expect that such a farce was happening in the Yu Mansion. What made him most depressed was that Murong Feng also came here.
Apparently, the situation was much more serious than he had imagined! He had no choice but to take action. If he wanted Yu Qingli to marry him, simply waiting would be useless.
After realizing this, Murong Yan turned around and left, not wanting to make any more decisions at the moment.
Wang Shi was still unwilling to give up, and looked at Yu Zhengsha for help, "Master, how to open the altar..."
Yu Zhengsha snorted coldly, looking at her with a bit of dissatisfaction in his eyes. What about opening an altar or performing a ritual? Even the actors playing monks on the stage were probably better than these so-called monks. How could these people look like the high monks of the Fahua Temple?
"Madam, come here. Everyone else can go." Yu Zhengsha ordered coldly, "Jiang Bai, ask these monks to leave and give them more money for the incense offerings."
Jiang Bai accepted the order and prepared to go.
The others present looked at each other in bewilderment. Was this the end of the matter?! It was simply a farce with no outcome.
The autumn wind was bleak, and although the sun was high in the sky, the white sunlight did not give people a sense of warmth. Wang lowered her head and followed Yu Zhengsha's footsteps closely, walking towards the study.
After returning to the study, Yu Zhengsha raised his hand and slapped Wang without even closing the door. The crisp slap made Wang's ears buzz, and she just lowered her head and dared not say a word.
"Do you know you're wrong?!"
"I understand." Wang lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, "I underestimated the enemy!"
Yu Zhengsha's expression finally relaxed a little. "Where on earth did you find those monks? Using such lousy monks to impersonate the high monks of Fahua Temple, let alone the Crown Prince and Prince Yan, even the servants in the Yu Mansion who have some experience should be able to recognize them!"
Wang bit her lip. Coming from humble origins, how could she have ever seen the appearance of a high-ranking monk from a royal temple? Furthermore, after marrying Yu Zhengsha, she was constantly busy scheming and consolidating her position. How could she have found the time to burn incense and worship at a temple?
However, none of these reasons can be the reason for today's embarrassment.
"Master, I know I was wrong."
Only then did Yu Zhengsha suppress the anger in his heart and calm down a little.
"It's too late to regret now. You should go back first."
"I retire."
After Wang had left the study, Yu Zhengsha took out the brocade box the emperor had given him. Inside was a small note. After Yu Zhengsha opened it and read it, his expression became increasingly complicated. So that's how it was. It seemed that His Majesty hadn't changed his mind. Did this mean that he could act even more recklessly?
It seems that he should start preparing!
Overnight, the saying that the young lady of the Yu family was born with bad luck spread throughout the capital. Everyone knew that she was destined to be unlucky and would bring bad luck to her husband and children.
Such jokes can be found everywhere in the teahouses and taverns in the capital!
"Speaking of which, the eldest daughter of the Yu family was born a beauty of heaven, intelligent and beautiful. However, beautiful women are often prone to disaster, and this young lady was unexpectedly doomed. No wonder the Prime Minister kept her in Luoyang, Jiangnan. Even so, this young lady still killed her mother, and even the concubine. The Prime Minister had no choice but to bring her into the mansion. Less than half a month after entering the mansion, the second daughter inexplicably fell ill, and her maid inexplicably hanged herself. Tell me, if this isn't doomed, what is it?"
In the teahouse, a storyteller narrated the life story of the eldest daughter of the Yu family with great emotion, causing waves of sighs...
"That's true, but I heard that the eldest daughter of the Yu family has been married to the eldest prince. I wonder what the royal family thinks about this matter."
"Who knows? Maybe the engagement will be broken off soon."
"This young lady is truly pitiful. She clearly came from a wealthy family, so how could she have such a fate?"
"you do not say……"
The sound of sighs from the crowd was heard continuously, causing a handsome young man sitting in the corner of the teahouse to smile involuntarily.
The maidservant next to him was indignant. "Young Master, you can still laugh. Look at what these people have said about you. It's really baffling. How come those bald donkeys' nonsense sound like the truth when they say it?"
These two people were Yu Qingli and Mei Hong. Yu Qingli was dressed as a man today. The blue robe made her cold face look a bit sharp. Her handsome appearance made the ladies on the street look back frequently. They all wanted to know which family this boy was from and how he could be so handsome?
Yu Qingli smiled lightly, "It seems that someone is trying to ruin my marriage!"
"Miss, what should we do?!" Mei Hong seemed even more nervous than Yu Qingli. Looking at Mei Hong like this, Yu Qingli felt more and more indifferent. She knew the reason why Mei Hong was concerned about this marriage, but there was no need to point it out.
"Don't worry, someone will take care of this matter."
Yu Qingli took a sip of her tea. With a rumor like this, someone should be more anxious than she was. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel better. This was also causing trouble for that person, wasn't it? But who was spreading the rumor, Murong Yanhui or Yu Zhengsha?
It was really interesting. She wanted to see how Murong Feng would clean up this mess.
As the rumors spread throughout the imperial capital, they naturally also reached the palace. In the Golden Throne Hall, Murong Shileng's face looked very ugly.
