Chapter 418 I don’t know the origin of love
Murong Yanhui felt a little guilty. If he had discovered Lin Zhi's feelings for him earlier, perhaps he could have comforted her earlier and prevented her from suffering so much.
In fact, after Murong Yan returned to Beijing, he often corresponded with Lin Zhi, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought it was just ordinary communication between brothers and friends.
Murong Yanhui was extremely upset that he, who had always been cautious, had made such a mistake in such a matter.
"Linzhi, I'll have someone take you back."
"No, I don't want to go back!"
Lin Zhi struggled to stand up. Her heart was here, the one she loved was here, where could she go back to? Fortunately, she would soon get what she wanted.
Murong Yanhui seemed a little at a loss. Perhaps it was because the woman in front of him was not as pretentious as the women before him, or perhaps it was because her deep affection was touching, or even because she had saved his life.
Murong Yanhui is a very nostalgic and kind-hearted person. His nicknames are just to cover up the simplicity of his emotions. He will be good to whoever is good to him. Therefore, he really doesn't know how to reject Lin Zhi now. He knows that his rejection will be a kind of hurt to her.
What's more, he owed Linzhi a life. Now that she asked him to marry her, even if he didn't want to agree, he couldn't refuse so bluntly.
After this hesitation, Murong Yanhui was in a dilemma. For the first time, he felt like a coward emotionally and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
However, Murong Yanhui knew very well in his heart that he could not keep avoiding this problem, whether for Lin Zhi or Yu Qingli. After thinking about it, he had the answer in his heart. When it comes to love, a short pain is worse than a long one. It was probably because he had been in contact with Lin Zhi all these years that she had this illusion. Therefore, he should find a time to make things clear, and today was obviously not a good time.
Murong Yanhui sighed deeply and called out softly, "Changkong!"
"Master, what are your orders?"
Changkong stood beside Murong Yanhui with an expressionless face, but there was a hint of confusion in his eyes. What did his master mean?
"Send Miss Lin back first."
"Yes!"
Changkong took Linzhi from Murong Yanhui's hands, stuffed her directly into the carriage, and galloped away quickly.
Watching the carriage gradually disappearing from his sight, Murong Yanhui breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he had to go see Lili. Thinking of his beloved woman, Murong Yanhui couldn't help but slowly curl up the corners of his lips.
What he didn't notice was that at the street corner not far away, Yu Qingli was standing there expressionlessly. The frost in her eyes made Xiluo, who was following behind her, feel chilled.
"Miss, what you see is not necessarily the truth. Maybe the prince and she are just ordinary friends."
Yu Qingli didn't say anything for a long time, and then she said, "Let's go, we have to go see that person."
Xiluo nodded, sighing inwardly. "Master, this time, has really done something stupid. Yu Zhenzhen was forced into this, but what about this Miss Lin who suddenly appeared? It's really annoying!"
But now is obviously not the time to talk about this matter. There is a bigger trouble waiting for them ahead. Xiluo now even feels that he was wrong for not persuading the young lady at that time.
Murong Yanhui went straight into the palace and sneaked into Ju'an Hall, wanting to look for Yu Qingli. However, after searching for a long time, she didn't even see the shadow of Yu Qingli. It was not until she met Xiaoliu that she learned that Yu Qingli had left the palace.
Murong Yanhui was a little depressed. He was also very worried that Yu Qingli would ignore him because of what happened today. They had finally made some progress in their relationship. If they became estranged because of this Hundred Flowers Conference, it would be a waste of time.
But now no one knows where Yu Qingli has gone, so even though Murong Yanhui has a thousand words in her heart, she has no way to find someone to talk to.
Murong Yanhui sighed inwardly, thinking that Yu Qingli was simply sent by God to torture him. Forget it, he should just go back to the palace for the time being.
Before he even entered the palace, a palace servant came jogging over, "Your Highness, you are finally back. The Empress Dowager and Miss Yu have been waiting for a long time."
Murong Yanhui frowned. When had Yu Zhenzhen become acquainted with her mother? They would fight back against the enemy with their generals and cover the water with earth. Let's see what their purpose is.
Passing through the long corridor in the hall, Murong Yanhui entered the front hall. Sandalwood had already been burning in the hall, and it was quiet and pleasant. From time to time, the sound of laughter could be heard, which made Murong Yanhui's expression even more indifferent.
After entering the main hall, Murong Yanhui saw Yu Zhenzhen sitting with the Queen Mother, looking very close. She had changed into a pink dress, and her face was flushed because of what she had said to the Queen Mother before. She looked rosy and beautiful, and could be considered a beauty.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing Murong Yanhui coming in, Yu Zhenzhen quickly stood up from her chair and bowed politely, but her eyes were staring at Murong Yanhui almost obsessively, full of love.
Murong Yanhui simply ignored Yu Zhenzhen's disgusting look and walked towards his mother. Before he could say anything, he saw the dissatisfied look of Queen Mother Qin.
"Hui Er, why are you out for so long?"
"I have something to do..."
"Is there anything more important than your lifelong event? Ai Jia and Zhen Zhen have been waiting here for at least an hour, and yet you haven't come back yet."
Murong Yanhui lowered his eyebrows, making it difficult to read his expression. "Your Majesty, I should have informed you first."
"That's not what I meant."
Empress Dowager Qin, who felt that Murong Yanhui's mood was a little strange, softened her tone slightly. She had heard that Hui'er went out with the new concubine Lin Zhi. It seemed that they were old acquaintances. However, Yu Zhenzhen beside her was appointed by the emperor himself, and her family, the Yu family, was indeed a good candidate for marriage.
Murong Yanhui raised her lips out of habit, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Then, mother, what brings you here to see me?"
This time, before Queen Mother Qin could even open her mouth, Yu Zhenzhen shyly stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, please calm down. Actually, it was Zhenzhen who disturbed me today. I made some cakes myself. Please try them, Your Highness."
"Hmph! Do you think I'm free? If you're worried these pastries are poisonous, the Imperial Kitchen is full of eunuchs testing them!"
"Your Highness..." Yu Zhenzhen felt very aggrieved, but before she could finish her coquettish behavior, Murong Yanhui continued, "By the way, since you knew you were disturbing me, and you deliberately stayed here, were you trying to provoke me? Or are you deliberately clinging to me because you can't get married?"
Yu Zhenzhen's face was red and pale, and her smile froze on her face. She looked very embarrassed. She even maintained the posture of bowing. Murong Yanhui did not ask her to stand up, and she did not stand up either.
Queen Mother Qin was a little reluctant, "Okay, Hui'er, Zhenzhen also has good intentions. Besides, she made it especially for you, so why not try it?"
Murong Yanhui's dark eyes were filled with Feng Chi. Yu Zhenzhen's current appearance reminded him of the scenes after he was attacked several times before. It seemed that Yu Zhenzhen was always present. What was going on now? If the previous two plans failed, was he planning to directly borrow the Queen Mother's hand?
What a pity! He had no interest in this kind of withered flower and withered willow.
"Thank you so much. I respectfully decline your kindness. If Miss Yu Er is alright, please return home. It's not a good idea for an unmarried woman to wander around the palace so freely."
Yu Zhenzhen's tears welled up in her eyes. Why? Why was she inferior to Yu Qingli? Why couldn't the Prince of Yan have a bit of tenderness in his eyes?
"Come back!"
Queen Mother Qin rebuked her dissatisfiedly, saying that they were all daughters of the Yu family. Would Murong Yan care about Yu Qingli?
"Mother, could you please step aside for a moment? I need to speak to Miss Yu Er alone."
Queen Mother Qin glanced at Murong Yanhui. Qing Luan stepped forward and whispered in Queen Mother Qin's ear, "Queen Mother, it's better to let these young people solve their own problems. Besides, love is like drinking water. Instead of forcing them, it's better to let them develop freely. Maybe the situation will be much better than it is now!"
Queen Mother Qin felt that there was some truth in this. After her gaze lingered on Murong Yanhui for a moment, she said sternly, "Whether you like it or not, you must remember that His Majesty's order has been issued!"
The implication is that if you disobey the order, you may not end up with good consequences.
After Queen Dowager Qin finished speaking, she left with Qingluan. Only Yu Zhenzhen and Murong Yanhui were left in the huge palace.
Yu Zhenzhen's lips were almost bitten by her. She was really unwilling to accept this. Compared with Yu Qingli who came from Jiangnan, she was the real favored girl of heaven. Her father had always given her the best education and the most proud capital, but during this period of time, she found that her life was almost ruined.
This Yu Qingli is simply her nemesis!
Yu Zhenzhen sorted herself out and looked at Murong Yanhui's handsome face. Suddenly, a sentence popped up in her mind. As the saying goes, love comes from nowhere but is ever-lasting. Has she fallen for this romantic Prince Yan?
"Your Highness, I know you like my sister, but I don't understand why I'm not as good as her. In terms of looks, talent, and personality, I think I'm no worse than her. Why, why is it that Your Highness never even bothers to look at me?"
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly, looking at Yu Zhenzhen in front of her with the eyes of an idiot. "Even if you are a fairy from heaven, even if you are well-educated, there is no reason to hate you. Do you understand what I am saying?"
"But my sister is already the eldest prince's wife. She might even have..."
Realizing what Yu Zhenzhen was about to say, Murong Yanhui suddenly felt very repulsive. What right did this woman have to meddle in the relationship between him and Lili? Did she think that others didn't know about the dirty things she had done?
