Chapter 358 Shake
Yu Qingli was a little surprised. She looked up at Murong Feng and saw that he was as elegant as jade, with gentle eyebrows and eyes. However, there was a determination in his eyes that she had never seen before. Seeing Murong Feng like this, even Yu Qingli had a kind of illusion.
Perhaps, she had always misunderstood this person.
Murong Feng gave her a gentle smile, which was like the warm sunshine in spring and the clear spring in summer, which made Yu Qingli unable to take her eyes off it.
Perhaps it was the feelings she had for this man in her past life that were at work, she murmured softly, "Brother Feng..."
"Li'er, don't call me like that, it will lead people to make mistakes!"
A clear voice like a spring passed by her ears. Murong Feng's white fingers brushed across her ears, and he tucked a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind behind her ears, revealing her small and round ears.
Yu Qingli felt as if her heart was beating like a drum, and the feeling of love and hate was particularly strong. They had shared hardships and life and death. Although such friendship had been worn away by the tragic years in the cold palace, it did not mean that all this had never happened.
Yu Qingli felt an inexplicable pain in her heart, as if she was suffocating. Many things crowded into her mind like needles, and every time she thought of one, her heart ached.
How could she forget that when she first saw him, he was wearing white clothes, with a smile on his lips, walking under the tree. Her heart tightened and her face turned red. For the first time, she felt that the term "peerless" could also be used to describe a man.
Later, they played the piano, recited poems, and enjoyed the romantic moments together for quite some time. At that time, he really doted on her, and his warmth seeped into her life, making her feel that it would be nice to spend her life with such a person.
So I put aside my pride and opened my heart to him.
After becoming the prince's consort, the situation in the palace changed rapidly. The prince and Murong Feng were at loggerheads, but there was only one throne. She had to maneuver around and learned many things, such as accounting, cooking, and killing with someone else's knife.
Her heart gradually became cold and indifferent. She has always been a stubborn person. Once she has made up her mind, she will do it to the end, and once she has made up her mind about someone, she will not change her mind.
Thinking about it now, those various years were richer and more brilliant than an ordinary person's life, with laughter and tears, joy and sorrow.
But why? In her previous life, she hadn't noticed that Murong Feng's indifference towards her was somewhat unusual. Everything seemed to come so suddenly that she was not even mentally prepared.
Yu Qingli came back to her senses. That gentle face was right in front of her, the smile on his lips still there, but it made her feel sad for no reason, and also made her a little confused. Since her rebirth, she had always wanted revenge, and wanted to make Murong Feng feel the pain she had felt before, but now, why could she suddenly not bear to do it?
If the object of revenge suddenly becomes another person, and everything that happened in the first place was not his will, would the hatred in your heart be less?
For the first time, her clear eyes were a little confused. Yu Qingli didn't know whether her path was right or wrong?
"Brother Feng, you just asked me to do you a favor. Can you tell me what it is?"
Murong Feng lowered his eyebrows, sadness spreading across his face. "If I'm really replaced by that person, please, kill me!"
Yu Qingli opened her eyes wide, took two steps back involuntarily, and said subconsciously, "No! I, I can't do it!"
Murong Feng reached out and held Yu Qingli's hand, his fingertips as cold as jade. "Li'er, if there is one person in this world who can kill me, I hope it's you!"
When their eyes met, Yu Qingli was the first to give in. She knew clearly that she should naturally agree to such a thing. After all, it was he who hurt her so badly in her past life. But deep in her heart, a voice clamored, "No, you can't agree to him! He is innocent. The one who hurt you was actually that other Murong Feng who appeared out of nowhere."
Murong Feng saw all of Yu Qingli's struggles, entanglements, and contradictions. After a long moment, he sighed softly, "Alas, I've made things difficult for you, Li'er. Forget what I just said. Just pretend I didn't say anything."
A trace of panic flashed across Yu Qingli's eyes. She pulled her hand out from Murong Feng's fingers as if she was scalded and left as if escaping.
She had no idea that after she left, Murong Feng's gentle smile suddenly changed, becoming bloody and cruel.
A dark figure walked out from the side, "Master, aren't you going to chase them?"
"No need, she will come back on her own."
"What if she finds out this is just a game?"
Murong Feng smiled faintly, "Really? So this is all a game? However, playing two-faced is really fun. I didn't expect that she would actually believe it! How stupid!"
"Do you want to continue investigating?"
"Of course. Apart from that insignificant Xiao Yu, nothing has been found about anyone else related to Yu Qingli, right? Qiu Hen, your efficiency has really disappointed me lately!"
"Yes! I admit my guilt!"
Murong Feng waved his hand. "Forget it. Investigate thoroughly, especially my dear little uncle. Compared to my little prince brother who has no real power, my fox uncle who has cultivated into a spirit is more worrying to me."
"My subordinate understands!"
Yu Qingli ran wildly all the way, her skirt even raising clouds of dust. She was a little aimless and just wanted to escape in this way to find peace.
Now how to do?
The whistling sound of the wind past her ears actually stung her eyes, making them blurry. She didn't know whether it was because of the dry weather or the sadness in her heart.
"Ouch!"
Yu Qingli stopped and bumped into someone!
"How do you walk? You're running around in the palace and disturbing all the ladies. Can you bear the consequences?" A shrill voice sounded from Yu Qingli's ears, making her a little dazed.
Without even looking up, she saw a bright figure and subconsciously knelt on both knees, "Qingli greets His Majesty and the ladies."
"Stand up!" Murong Shiling said gently, asking with some curiosity, "You usually seem steady and dignified, why are you so reckless today?"
Yu Qingli lowered her head and said politely, "I am sorry for my rudeness, Your Majesty. I hope you will forgive me."
The sun was shining brightly, but it seemed unable to warm Yu Qingli. Her head almost drooped to her chest. She looked very lost and dejected, completely different from her usual self.
Murong Yanhui frowned in the crowd. What happened to Lili?
Murong Shiling smiled and said, "That's alright, it wasn't an accident. How about going with me to enjoy the flowers? The Imperial Household Department just sent over a few pots of unique flowers. I heard they were newly cultivated this year. You might as well go and take a look."
Yu Qingli lowered her eyebrows and said, "Yes!"
Murong Yanhui felt more and more that something was wrong. This Yu Qingli was nothing like the one he usually saw. Her slightly moist eyes definitely weren't caused by the wind.
What exactly happened?
This uncontrollable situation made Murong Yanhui extremely anxious, but because there were so many people around, he couldn't ask in person.
Yu Qingli felt a little dazed, and followed the crowd forward in a daze. Even Murong Yanhui, who had deliberately paused to wait for her, had no idea what was going on.
In fact, Murong Shiling was not in a good mood. There were still a lot of things to do in the court. In addition, the audience with the Persian envoy was about to begin. How could he have the leisure time to appreciate the flowers? However, it was rare for Concubine Lin to come to him. Moreover, he felt a little guilty towards Concubine Lin. So he took Concubine Lin and Concubine Yu out of the palace together. Concubine Lin's excuse was not bad. She said she wanted Murong Shiling to help see if there was anything.
Along the way, Concubine Lin was the one in the highest spirits. Ever since Concubine Yu entered the palace, the emperor favored her almost every day, and then neglected the other concubines, of course, including Concubine Lin. Today, Murong Shileng was actually willing to go with her to appreciate the flowers, which really made her very happy.
However, even though Concubine Lin was very dissatisfied with Murong Shiling's decision, she could do nothing about it. After all, Murong Shiling was the head of the harem! After all, they were just women used to fill the harem. No matter how high their status was, they could not influence the emperor's decision.
I have to say, this is the sorrow of all the women in the harem.
The few of them walked forward and soon arrived at the Imperial Garden. Unlike the bleak autumn day, the scenery in the Imperial Garden could be described as gorgeous.
There are gorgeous begonias planted on both sides of the road, mixed in with the green bushes, which are very gorgeous and eye-catching. There are several red maple trees planted around the rockery next to it. The maple leaves are red and yellow, like fluttering butterflies. Walking further, there is a green bamboo forest. Although it is not as lush as in summer, the green patches from a distance are quite interesting in themselves.
This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a few daylilies, which are not rare things. However, because this plant should bloom in April, I don’t know how it was made to bloom in late autumn!
The deep palace is boring, so such rare things are naturally liked by the royal nobles. Therefore, even the emperor couldn't help but feel in a good mood when he saw these pots of daylilies.
"Your Majesty, this thing is truly novel. Let's ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come up with some new ideas tomorrow. Perhaps other flowers and plants can be seen in winter as well."
Concubine Lin seemed very excited when she saw the green daylilies.
Murong Shiling, who was standing by, had calmed down a bit after his initial joy. He glanced at Concubine Lin, then turned to ask Concubine Yu, "Yu'er, what do you think of this daylily?"
Imperial Concubine Yu frowned. "It's nice to see daylilies in this season, but if you have to go to such lengths to do so, it's better to go and see seasonal flowers and plants. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too lonely to see crabapples in autumn or plum blossoms in winter?"
When Concubine Lin heard this, her face turned ugly. She secretly thought that Concubine Yu was here to cause trouble for her.
