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

Chapter 403 Another Enmity

It was winter and the weather was getting colder. When Yu Qingli came out of Chaofeng Palace, she felt a little desolate and pulled her clothes together involuntarily. Xiluo, who was standing beside her, quickly draped the large banner she had brought with her on Yu Qingli's shoulders.

The winter frost had wilted the flowers and plants in the garden, and only a few leaves were floating on the tall trees. Walking on the cold and hard stone road, Yu Qingli felt the chill from the bottom of her heart.

Mei Hong followed Yu Qingli and Xiluo obediently, step by step, without speaking or getting close. She seemed like an insignificant cat, but people could not ignore her presence.

Xiluo frowned in dissatisfaction. She really didn't know what she wanted to do by following him all this time. The young lady had already agreed to let her marry Murong Feng, so what else could she be dissatisfied with? Who was she trying to show off by putting on such a deadpan face?

The more Xiluo thought about it, the more she felt indignant for Yu Qingli. This sentiment of hers was directly conveyed to Yu Qingli. Seeing Xiluo's increasingly dark face, Yu Qingli's mood improved for no reason. Of course! He was just a servant. What was there for her to care about?

Whether in her past life or this life, Mei Hong was nothing more than a dispensable servant to her! Not to mention a treacherous servant who was a traitor and brought disaster to her master.

Therefore, everything she has to do next is her own fault! It all depends on how much Murong Feng likes her.

"Meihong, you're pregnant. If you're okay, go back and rest. Xiluo, accompany her back and ask Xiaoliu to make some arrangements for her to stay. We can also call the imperial physician to check on her. After all, she's carrying the eldest prince's child."

After Yu Qingli finished speaking, Mei Hong looked at her with a complicated expression, probably wondering whether what she said was true or false.

"Meihong, you don't have to be so defensive. If I wanted to harm you, why would I bring you into the palace? I believe you are also aware of Xiluo's strength. Wouldn't it be better to deal with you outside the palace without anyone knowing?"

Mei Hong was startled, but she also realized how reckless her actions had been. Yu Qingli was right. If she wanted to kill herself, it would be very convenient outside the palace. She could even put the blame on the gardener who beat her. If she said that she was beaten to death by that person, no one would doubt it.

Yu Qingli's expression was calm, her eyes sparkling. "Since I brought you into the palace, I will naturally protect you. You don't have to worry about that. Please go down. I want to take a walk."

Mei Hong slowly left after hearing this. Yu Qingli forced a cruel smile until Mei Hong's back was out of sight. She wanted Mei Hong to feel for herself how painful it was to lose her own child. That's why she would not let this woman, the woman who had killed her child, go so easily.

Just after turning a corner, Yu Qingli saw a woman she absolutely did not want to see. Just as she was about to return the same way, the other party walked towards her position with a menacing look.

"Where is the Emperor going?"

Yu Qingli frowned slightly, but still stopped. Even though she didn't like Murong Yuan, she didn't want to show weakness in front of her.

"So it's Your Highness the Princess. I was just taking a casual walk."

"Humph, you should go for a walk to relax and unwind, lest you get too angry and become ill, right? Oh, and I heard that Mei Hong, your friend, has climbed into the emperor's bed. I don't know whether I should congratulate her or sympathize with you, the emperor's sister-in-law."

Murong Yuan's words were full of sarcasm. Ever since the Persian prince returned home, she had been holding back a fire in her heart, especially after she learned that the Persian prince had had a good impression of Yu Qingli until he left.

Yu Qingli met Murong Yuan's gaze, her pair of phoenix eyes sparkling and shining, except for the redness in her eye sockets, there was no grievance or desolation that Murong Yuan wanted to see.

Seeing Yu Qingli like this, Murong Yuan became increasingly dissatisfied, and her words became more and more harsh. "It's true that the master raises the same kind of servant. I'm really worried about the emperor's sister-in-law. I don't know who will climb into the emperor's bed next time? But in the end, it's the emperor's sister-in-law who has no ability. If the emperor's sister-in-law could have tied the emperor's heart, how could someone take advantage of it?"

Yu Qingli looked at her steadily, with neither sadness nor joy, her face calm. After she finished speaking, she asked, "Have you finished speaking, Princess?"

Murong Yuan felt a little scared when she looked at her, and raised her chin proudly.

"If the princess has finished speaking, how about I say a few words? Since you call me the emperor's sister-in-law, then as the emperor's sister-in-law, I have to say a few words to you. Those words you just said in front of me are fine, but if others heard it, wouldn't they laugh at me and the princess for not knowing etiquette? They even say such obscene words so easily? Even if your brother knew about it, I'm afraid it would not be a good thing, right?"

"you……"

"Princess, don't worry. I haven't finished yet. Since you already know about Mei Hong, you don't have to inform me. But I do want to remind you that no matter what Mei Hong's status is, now that she has become your royal brother's concubine, you should at least respectfully call her sister, right?"

Murong Yuan's expression changed again and again, "Yu Qingli, don't go too far!"

Yu Qingli smiled faintly, "Princess, what are you talking about? You were clearly mocking me, so how did I become the one bullying you? Hasn't your mother taught you all these years not to confuse right and wrong?"

Yu Qingli didn't want to waste any more time with Murong Yuan. She just wanted to teach this arrogant princess a lesson. Since she had taken the initiative to provoke her, there was no reason for her to avoid her, right? After all, she was not in the wrong.

So, after finishing her words, Yu Qingli turned around and said, "Then I will be leaving first, my dear sister-in-law. This winter scenery is really uninteresting. If the princess is bored, she might as well cultivate herself at home. At least she can find a good husband sooner, right?"

Watching Yu Qingli's departing figure, Murong Yuan gnashed her teeth, wishing she could tear Yu Qingli apart. Yu Qingli, to mock her like that, was truly audacious. So what if she was the eldest prince's consort? Today, she was going to teach this person who had the final say in the harem.

It happened in a flash. Murong Yuan instantly pulled out the phoenix whip from her waist and swung it towards Yu Qingli's back. Yu Qingli only heard the whistling of wind in her ears. She instinctively knew that something was wrong, but it was too late to react. After all, she didn't know martial arts. At that moment, she only prayed that Qingjiu could save her in time. She didn't want to die before she got her revenge.

Almost instantly, a jade fan flew through the air and deflected the whip. After that, Murong Yanhui appeared in front of Yu Qingli. With a gust of wind, the whip fell into Murong Yanhui's hands.

Before Murong Yuan could see the figure clearly, she heard a snapping sound beside her ear, and her cheek felt a burning pain. Even her ears were buzzing. The fishy and sweet taste in her mouth was spat out along with her molars before she could even swallow it. She looked at Murong Yanhui in shock.

"Lili, are you okay?" Murong Yan asked Yu Qingli, who had already been dragged to her side, gently and worriedly.

Yu Qingli finally came back to her senses and looked at Murong Yuan with a complicated expression. Even though Murong Yuan was a proud and arrogant princess in her previous life, she never hurt her directly. Unexpectedly, in this life, she had a big grudge with this princess. Although she really couldn't figure out why Murong Yuan disliked her?

Seeing Yu Qingli remained silent, Murong Yanhui didn't care about anything else and was about to check it herself, but was stopped by Yu Qingli. She whispered, "I'm fine. The whip just now didn't hit me."

Murong Yuan reached out and touched her cheek, "Little Uncle, you actually hit me?"

"You are so unruly and headstrong, you need to be disciplined! Since your father and mother don't have time to take care of you, I don't mind teaching you how to behave!"

"Little Uncle, are you so biased in your teachings? What's so good about Yu Qingli? Why are you both so captivated by her beauty? What's so good about this fickle woman?"

Murong Yanhui's eyes were as cold as ice, and they cut across Murong Yuan's face like a knife, causing her to take a step back involuntarily. "Murong Yuan, watch your mouth, or I won't mind giving you another slap!"

Murong Yanhui's tone was stern, carrying a fierce and murderous intention. Murong Yuan's scalp tightened and her hair stood on end! It was as if she would be killed by Murong Yanhui in the next second. Murong Yuan had never felt this way before. When did the little uncle become so terrifying?

At this time, Murong Yanhui exerted a little force in his hand and used his internal energy to break the rare whip, which was enough to show how angry he was.

Murong Yuan's eyes immediately turned red when she saw her beloved Phoenix Whip being torn apart so easily. "Little Uncle, you actually destroyed my Phoenix Whip?"

"I already taught you a lesson last time. Since you refuse to change, what's the point of keeping this phoenix whip? Do you want me to continue beating people?"

Murong Yanhui raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes were full of brilliance and majesty without anger, leaving Murong Yuan speechless for a moment. She just stomped her feet and left with red eyes. Judging from the direction she left, she was probably going to complain to the Queen.

"Aren't you worried?" Yu Qingli raised an eyebrow. "Your good niece went to complain."

Murong Yanhui snorted coldly and walked towards the place where the jade fan had fallen. Because of the excessive force just now, the fan bone that was directly touched by the whip had been broken into two parts. Murong Yanhui picked up the jade fan with regret and handed it to Yu Qingli. "Look, what a pity to waste such a good thing. It contains the original work of Yan Zhenqing! It's rare to come across such a good jade fan. I wanted to give it to you..."

Yu Qingli took the jade fan from Murong Yanhui and said, "It saved my life. Isn't that even more precious?"

Murong Yan's face lit up with joy, "Lili, do you like it?"

Yu Qingli smiled rarely and said, "Since you saved my life, I have to keep it even if I don't like it, right?"

Murong Yanhui smiled with satisfaction, and her slightly narrowed eyes looked like a sated fox.
