Chapter 253: Death to prove one’s ambition
A moment later, Yu Qingli, who received the golden hairpin, showed a sarcastic smile. It was really interesting that just a little bit of powder could make Queen Li so panicked!
After Murong Feng returned to the palace, he found an excuse to leave. Xiluo and Meihong were left in the courtyard where the palace maids were trained. It was said that they would not be able to come out for at least half a month.
"Princess, the messenger from the palace has arrived. What would you like for lunch?"
The palace maid serving Yu Qingli at this time was called Qinghe. She was the senior palace maid who had always served Murong Feng. She was a steady person and did things properly.
"Just arrange it, as long as it's not too greasy."
"Yes! I will arrange it right away."
As soon as Qing He left, a slightly unfamiliar eunuch arrived in the palace, "Prince's Consort, receive the decree!"
"Princess, His Majesty has ordered that you come to the Wolong Palace to dine with us."
"This..." Yu Qingli instinctively wanted to refuse, but refusing would mean disobeying the order, so she decided to go and see the situation first.
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli left with the eunuch and walked towards the Wolong Palace.
In the magnificent Wolong Palace, Murong Shiling paced back and forth anxiously. He actually felt a little nervous, but besides the nervousness, he also felt a little excited, an excitement he had never experienced before.
"The prince's consort has arrived..."
Following the eunuch's announcement, Murong Shileng felt refreshed, yet vaguely a little nervous. This feeling was just like the first time he fell in love. Murong Shileng found it hard to believe that even though he already had countless beauties in his harem, no one could give him this feeling.
Not long after, when Yu Qingli's figure appeared in front of Murong Shiling, he suddenly forgot all his previous hesitations and just wanted to possess this woman.
Yu Qingli respectfully saluted Murong Shiling, "Your Majesty!"
"Get up quickly!"
Murong Shiling personally stepped forward and helped Yu Qingli up. His well-maintained hands held Yu Qingli's soft body in his hands, and he was reluctant to let go for a long time.
Yu Qingli felt vaguely uneasy. Perhaps, she shouldn't have come to the banquet like this. Murong Shiling was obviously not that naive towards her.
Yu Qingli pulled her hand out of Murong Shiling's grasp and looked at him with clear eyes. "I wonder why Your Majesty wants me here?"
"Yu'er, I just want to have lunch with you. Come, serve the meal!"
At Murong Shiling's command, the palace servants who had been waiting for a long time came in one after another, and plates of exquisite dishes were brought up, dazzling the people.
Although Yu Qingli was a little confused, she still sat down on the chair. Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. Besides, even if she wanted to leave now, it probably wouldn't be that easy, right?
After the delicious meal was served on the table, Murong Shileng ordered everyone to wait outside the hall.
In the huge palace, only Murong Shileng and Yu Qingli were left.
The atmosphere became ambiguous for a moment. Murong Shileng did not speak, and Yu Qingli remained silent. This situation made Yu Qingli feel a little nervous. She was tense and did not dare to relax at all.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Murong Shiling felt a little unhappy when he noticed Yu Qingli's nervousness. Was he really that scary? He thought he had always been very attractive. He was the ruler of a country, and how many women wanted to marry into the palace?
Yu Qingli took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She couldn't panic yet. Perhaps things were not as bad as she had imagined.
"Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, so naturally you should be respected."
"Awe?" Murong Shiling looked a little disappointed. If possible, he really didn't want to hear such words from Yu Qingli's mouth.
He was the almighty emperor, and all the women around him were in awe of him, but this was not what he wanted. That day, Yu Liuli was graceful and elegant at the birthday banquet, that night, Yu Liuli was smart and clever in the palace, and that day, Yu Liuli was unparalleled in his heart.
After that woman suddenly disappeared from his sight, Murong Shileng once thought that she was a real fairy, appearing and disappearing suddenly.
Because of this, he was lost for a long time, but accidents always happen suddenly. He didn't expect that when they met again, she had already married his son. It was really ironic. What kind of result was this?
Despite her vehement denials, he still recognized her at a glance. Such a special woman was unique in this world.
Murong Shiling sighed, "Let's eat first and talk later."
Yu Qingli responded and began to eat in small bites. She ate very elegantly and seemed very calm. Only she knew what kind of tension she was feeling in her heart at this moment.
Murong Shileng did not move his chopsticks, his eyes fixed on Yu Qingli. At this moment, it seemed that nothing could excite him more than the woman in front of him.
Yu Qingli just felt a little creepy. That look was full of possessiveness, an almost perverted intention. Even though they were separated by a table, Yu Qingli still felt immense pressure.
Yu Qingli finished her lunch in agony. The palace servants quickly took the food away. Then, Murong Shileng asked the palace servants to bring a chessboard.
"How about playing a game of hand with me?"
Yu Qingli didn't say anything. She probably didn't have the right to refuse now.
Sitting opposite Murong Shileng, Yu Qingli could not hide the complexity in her heart. Was Murong Shileng's behavior a test?
"Then Qingli will show her shame. Your Majesty, please show mercy."
"Then I won't be polite."
It seemed that Murong Shiling really just wanted to play chess with Yu Qingli. He made his moves one by one, and Yu Qingli responded cautiously.
A smile gradually appeared on Murong Shileng's face. As expected, his guess was correct. Yu Qingli was the Yu Liuli of that day. Other things about a person might change, but his chess style would not, especially in such a short period of time.
"General!"
Murong Shiling made his move with a pleased look on his face. It was obvious that Yu Qingli had lost this round.
"Your Majesty's chess skills are truly superb. Qingli is willing to admit defeat."
"Giving up so quickly is really not like you."
"Your Majesty, you overestimate Qingli. Losing is losing, how can you not admit it? Compared to your Majesty's superb chess skills, Qingli's tricks are really not enough!"
Yu Qingli tried to keep a low profile, hoping that Murong Shiling would let her go as soon as possible.
But it was obvious that her hopes were dashed. Not only that, it seemed that Murong Shileng was becoming more and more interested in her.
He even dropped the chess piece in his hand and grabbed Yu Qingli's hand across the chessboard.
"His Majesty!"
Yu Qingli was very surprised, but Murong Shiling had no intention of letting go. His eyes even began to flash with desire.
Yu Qingli felt that it was not good, but it was obvious that she could only deal with Murong Shiling now.
"Yu Liuli, this time, I will not let you go easily."
"Your Majesty, please let me go. I am not some jade glass!"
"It's no use for you to deny it. I've already confirmed that you are Yu Liuli. There can't be two people in the world who are so similar. Now that you're by my side, I have no reason to let you go."
As Murong Shiling spoke, he pulled Yu Qingli into his arms with force. The chessboard between them was even knocked over to the ground, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.
Yu Qingli's hand was pulled so hard that it hurt. She was suddenly pulled into Murong Shiling's arms. She felt like she was being stabbed in the back and her face suddenly became ugly.
"Your Majesty, please let me go. I've already said that Your Majesty may have mistaken Qingli because he missed someone too much, but I am definitely not the person you said I was."
"Yu Liuli, no matter how much you try to argue, I will not let you go." Murong Shileng had obviously fallen into the vortex of desire, or rather, he had actually wanted to do this for a long time. As long as he could make this woman his, perhaps she would stay by his side obediently.
Suddenly, Yu Qingli felt dizzy, and a bad premonition came to her mind, "What on earth did you do to me?"
"It's just some medicine, Yu Liuli, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well from today on! So only today, you belong to me."
Yu Qingli couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. She felt her vision becoming increasingly blurred. No wonder Murong Shiling didn't eat a single bite of the food just now. She didn't expect that he would actually put drugs in it?
Such despicable means are really unbelievable!
"His Majesty……"
Yu Qingli couldn't help but raise her voice a few notches. Even if the person in front of her was the emperor, she could not accept such an insult.
However, due to the inherent disparity in strength between men and women, she had no way to escape, so her only option now was...
Yu Qingli immediately caught sight of the teacup on the table. Without hesitation, she used all her strength to push Murong Shiling away. Before he could react, she stepped forward, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Murong Shiling!
Murong Shiling didn't react in time and was hit by the teacup, and blood immediately gushed out of his forehead.
"Damn woman!"
Murong Shiling felt pain and his face looked a little ferocious. Even if it was a woman he liked, he seemed unable to tolerate her if she was so disobedient.
Murong Shileng's face looked a little ferocious, and Yu Qingli's expression also became cold. Now she couldn't care less. If she couldn't escape from here successfully, she would probably be forced by Murong Shileng.
This was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
Since she couldn't escape, she didn't mind giving it a try.
Yu Qingli's eyes were firm and brave. She bent down to pick up the fallen teacup fragments, but this caused Murong Shiling to laugh at her. "Do you think you can avoid me like this?"
Just as Murong Shiling was about to move forward, Yu Qingli suddenly laughed, "Even if I can't escape Your Majesty, at least I can end my own life!"
Murong Shileng was stunned, but saw Yu Qingli in front of him resolutely and decisively slashing the fragment towards her arm.
