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

Chapter 209 Falling into a trap

At dinner time, Yu Qingli saw Murong Yanhui again, but this time, he was not alone. A peach-colored figure was following closely beside him.

Murong Yuan looked obviously very happy. She was unhappy in the morning, but now she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

"Little uncle, I heard that the vegetarian food at the Fahua Temple is very famous. You must try it."

"Yeah!" Murong Yanhui responded lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Yu Qingli who had just walked into the cafeteria.

Following Murong Yanhui's gaze, Murong Yuan frowned, turned her head and said to Murong Feng, "Royal brother, why don't you take your annoying sweetheart away? The sight of her makes me sick."

"Yuan'er! Stop being rude!"

Empress Li looked very unhappy, and Murong Feng also suppressed his smile. "Yuan'er, I tell you again, Qingli will be your future sister-in-law. It is neither reasonable nor proper for you to be so rude. If you do it again, don't blame your brother for being ruthless."

Murong Yanhui also had a cold face and pulled his arm out of Murong Yuan's hand. "If the princess has no appetite, just go back and rest early. There's no need to bore yourself here."

Murong Yuan felt extremely aggrieved. She had only said one thing about Yu Qingli, yet she had already attracted so many people's accusations. She could not help but angrily say, "I just don't like her, so what?! I won't eat this meal!"

Murong Yuan said this and turned to leave the dining hall. Yu Qingli was a little speechless. How did she provoke this unruly princess? It seemed that she had not done anything.

Empress Li turned to Yu Qingli and said, "Qingli, don't worry about it. This girl is so willful and has no respect for her parents."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. She didn't intend to care. Besides, whether Murong Yuan ate or not seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Eat it or not, who are you trying to scare?!

Yu Qingli looked calm as she sat down to eat. But when she looked up, her eyes met Murong Yanhui's. The scorching gaze made her inexplicably nervous!

Concubine Lin watched this scene coldly, then looked at Yu Qingli's face thoughtfully. What exactly happened between Yu Qingli and the Queen before? Why did it seem that the Queen's attitude suddenly changed?

Murong Cheng ate his meal with an indifferent expression on his face. He never bothered to say anything about things that had nothing to do with him.

The atmosphere was extremely silent, and the group quickly finished their dinner. Queen Li and Concubine Lin left first, and so did Crown Prince Murong Cheng. For a moment, only Murong Feng, Murong Yanhui, and Yu Qingli were left at the dinner table.

Murong Feng's seat was next to Yu Qingli, while Murong Yanhui was sitting opposite her. Although they had finished eating long ago, they were still reluctant to leave.

Murong Yanhui's gaze was fixed on Yu Qingli's face, his eyes were persistent and focused, as if Yu Qingli was the only one in his eyes.

Murong Feng was a little unhappy and deliberately said, "Qingli, how about we go for a walk together after dinner?"

Before Yu Qingli could say anything, Murong Yanhui sneered across from her, "What's so good about this dark place? Besides, it's cold in the mountains, and Lili is frail. Do you want her to get sick?"

Murong Feng ignored him and said again: "Then why don't we play chess..."

"With your poor chess skills, you still have the nerve to ask someone to play chess with you. The eldest prince is really thick-skinned."

Murong Feng glanced at Murong Yan coldly and ignored his provocation. He couldn't get angry first, otherwise it would mean that he had lost.

"Qingli, I've heard that Master Qiuchan's lectures are very insightful, and he happens to be giving a lecture tonight. Why don't we join him..."

"Does the eldest prince want to take Lili with him to become a monk? If you are so interested in Buddhism, why not come here and become a Buddhist disciple?"

Murong Feng could no longer bear it, "Little Uncle, what on earth do you mean?!"

Murong Yanhui raised an eyebrow, looking at him with disdain, "Nothing, I just like to talk to myself."

Yu Qingli put down her bowl and chopsticks, "I'm full, I'll go back first, Your Highness, Prince, please do as you please."

After Yu Qingli finished speaking, she took Xiluo out of the cafeteria. She didn't have the leisure to watch the two men bickering, it was really boring.

"Qingli..." Murong Feng hurriedly chased after her, "I'll take you back."

"No need. It's getting late. The eldest prince should go to bed early." Yu Qingli said it very gently, but it sounded like she was deliberately avoiding Murong Feng.

Murong Yanhui walked past them. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of mockery, which made Murong Feng grit his teeth. He couldn't even maintain the warm smile on his face. He looked cold no matter how he looked at her.

Yu Qingli returned to the room, but before she could sit down, the door was suddenly pushed open. Murong Yuan looked ferocious and said, "Come out, I have something to tell you!"

Xiluo was about to step forward when Yu Qingli raised her hand to stop him. She then said politely, "Your Highness, it's getting late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Yu Qingli, I told you to come out, didn't you hear me?!"

Yu Qingli's refusal seemed to have no effect. Murong Yuan still refused to give in. Judging from her expression, if Yu Qingli didn't follow her out, she would definitely not stop.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Yu Qingli followed Murong Yuan out of the room, Xiluo followed closely behind. Murong Yuan said with dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?! Am I going to eat Yu Qingli? Get out of here!"

Xiluo didn't move, so Yu Qingli had no choice but to order: "Xiluo, go back first. I believe the princess won't do anything to me."

Xiluo was worried, but could only watch Yu Qingli leave the room with Murong Yuan.

The night was cold, and the moonlight shone through the lush trees onto the two people walking one after the other, stretching their shadows very long.

"Princess, what exactly do you want to tell me? Can you tell me now?"

Yu Qingli stopped in her tracks, vaguely feeling that the princess seemed to be trying to play a trick on her.

Murong Yuan turned her head and said, "What I want to tell you is very important, so we need to find a secluded place."

Yu Qingli sighed. If she didn't follow her, she really didn't know what this unruly princess would do. In her previous life, she had always been uninterested in Murong Yuan.

Well, let's go with her and take a look.

Murong Yuan walked further and further away. She had just been here with Murong Feng during the day, so she was very familiar with the road. Moreover, she found a very interesting place. Since Yu Qingli was so annoying, she might as well take her there to play.

A sinister smile played across Murong Yuan's lips, and her expression was exactly the same as Murong Feng's.

Murong Yuan walked faster and faster, and Yu Qingli gradually fell behind her.

"your Highness……"

Yu Qingli wanted to call out to Murong Yuan, but found it was in vain, because she found that Murong Yuan disappeared at a corner ahead.

Yu Qingli's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! She'd been set up!

Although he knew that Murong Yuan would not let him go easily, he did not expect that she would leave him in such a desolate place. He felt that he was getting farther and farther away as he walked along. Although he knew that he was still on the mountain, the Fahua Mountain where the Fahua Temple was located was hundreds of miles in radius. He really had no idea where he was.

Yu Qingli looked up and saw that everything around her was gray and she couldn't tell the direction at all. There was also a faint mist spreading, which made Yu Qingli feel even more depressed.

Yu Qingli felt inexplicably uneasy. Was she going to spend the night here? This was really bad!

The night wind made Yu Qingli feel very cold. After thinking for a while, she began to climb up the tree, perhaps she could find the direction from a high place.

But it was obvious that Yu Qingli was wrong. Even after climbing up the tree, everything around her was still hazy. The damp fog spread throughout the entire forest. Coupled with the deep night, Yu Qingli could not even see her own fingers clearly.

On the other side, Murong Yuan casually walked around the temple and then returned to her room leisurely.

Xiluo stood at the door of the wing room waiting, and felt relieved when she saw Murong Yuan. The princess is back, so the young lady should be back too, right?

He searched behind Murong Yuan for a long time, but could not find Yu Qingli anywhere. He immediately asked anxiously, "Your Highness, where is my young lady?!"

Murong Yuan looked at Xiluo with pride and disdain, "Who knows?! Maybe he has already gone back."

As Murong Yuan spoke, she prepared to go into the room to rest. She was really tired after walking such a long way.

Xiluo stretched out his hand to block her way, "Where is my young lady?!"

"Who are you talking to?!" Murong Yuan said with an unhappy expression, "You're just a dog slave, and you dare to block my way? Believe it or not, I will make you lose your head!"

Xiluo's eyes grew colder, filled with anger and murderous intent. "If Princess doesn't tell me, don't blame me for overstepping the bounds!"

Seeing this, Murong Yuan couldn't help feeling a little scared. The look in this maid's eyes was so terrifying, as if she would really die if she took another step.

"Still not telling me?!"

Xiluo reached out and grabbed Murong Yuan's collar, scaring her so much that she screamed, "Help! There's an assassin!"

Xiluo gritted her teeth and suddenly loosened her hand. Murong Yuan fell to the ground, and her screams attracted the guards around her. Even Queen Li and Concubine Lin, who were ready to rest, came out of the room.

In an instant, the guards surrounded Murong Yuan. Murong Yuan pointed at Xiluo and said, "She is the assassin. Capture her quickly!"

Without a second thought, the guards drew their swords from their waists and surrounded Xiluo.

Xiluo also drew his sword, "Get out of the way, I'm the personal maid of the eldest lady of the Yu Mansion."

The guards looked at each other in confusion. Although they knew that what Xiluo said was true, the princess said that she was an assassin. What should they do?

"Yuan'er, what are you doing?!" Queen Li walked over with a somewhat unfriendly look on her face.

"Mother, this maid tried to attack me!"

Murong Feng and others who arrived later looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Murong Yanhui looked around, his eyes suddenly cold. He took a step forward and knocked the sword out of Xiluo's hand, "Where's Lili?!"

Seeing Murong Yanhui, Xiluo suddenly knelt on the ground, "Prince, please save the young lady."

"what happened?"

Murong Feng also stepped forward and heard from the maid that something had happened to Yu Qingli.
