Chapter 120 The King Wants to Chase You (2)
Finally, he said what he wanted to say, and Murong Yanhui felt extremely refreshed. His beautiful eyes shone with moving light, and he stared at Yu Qingli's eyes, as if he wanted to devour her completely.
"Lili, I'll say it again! I've made up my mind. I'll marry you in this life!"
After a moment's silence, Yu Qingli's heart was in turmoil. It seemed that Murong Yanhui, who had appeared out of nowhere, was really difficult to deal with. She really didn't know whether this person's appearance was a blessing or a curse for her?
A moment later, a flower-like smile spread across her face, and Yu Qingli quickly came to her senses. How ridiculous! Did he think she was one of those naive young ladies from official families? Did he think she would take the bait with just a few sweet words?
Is it so easy to take the position of princess?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli found it even more amusing. "Your Highness really loves to joke. Your Highness, don't tease me. I'll take it seriously!"
"I'm not joking. Lili, why don't you want to believe me?"
Facing Murong Yanhui's questioning face, Yu Qingli changed the subject and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to go out for a walk?"
Completely ignored!
A hint of anger ignited in Murong Yanhui's eyes. Was she really so untrustworthy in Yu Qingli's heart?
"Lili, I will definitely prove to you that I am sincere to you."
Yu Qingli paused for a moment. Sincerity?! How much sincerity is there in this world? Furthermore, how could one prove sincerity?
Only time can reveal a person's true character, but she doesn't have that much time.
Looking at Yu Qingli's back, Murong Yanhui felt a slight pain in his heart. He quickened his pace and reached out to hold Yu Qingli's slender waist from behind.
"Yu Qingli! I am serious!"
Yu Qingli was stunned. This man always called her Lili. She was a little surprised that he called her by her full name.
The warm breath came along her ears, making Yu Qingli's heart feel hot. The hand tightly clasped around her waist almost seemed to want to break her waist.
Slender fingers pushed the insistent hands away from her waist. Yu Qingli turned and looked at Murong Yan coldly. "Your Highness, Qingli said that she doesn't have the time or energy to play this kind of emotional game with you. Besides, Qingli can't afford it. Your Highness should go back and calm down. Perhaps after three days, your feelings will fade with time."
Faced with Yu Qingli's distrust, Murong Yanhui felt a chill in his heart. Although it was a hot summer day, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Murong Yanhui had never felt so lost before. Such a rejection was like a bolt from the blue to him, but it also inspired him to fight with unprecedented fighting spirit.
"Yu Qingli! Listen to me, I never go back on my word. I originally thought that after spending so much time with you, you would understand my heart, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. In that case, I'm telling you seriously, I'm going to pursue you!"
Yu Qingli opened her eyes wide. Was this person joking? Or did he not hear her clearly?
"Your Majesty..."
"Lili, listen to me. From the day I met you, everything I did was serious. You should have heard that I always follow my heart, but this time, it was my heart that chose you!"
The brilliant sunlight slanted in from the window, making Murong Yanhui's already bright eyes even brighter. The burning gaze made Yu Qingli unable to look directly at it.
Yu Qingli was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, Murong Yanhui reached out and pulled her soft hand, "Let's go, Lili, didn't you say you wanted to go out for a walk?"
It was midsummer, and the green lotuses on the Luoyang River were in full bloom. Willows swayed by the river, and the breeze swayed the lotus in the pond, which looked very beautiful.
After the disaster, everything was in ruins and was gradually recovering its former prosperity. People were busy running around and businessmen were taking the opportunity to solicit business opportunities. There was a sense of prosperity.
Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli walked hand in hand through the willow branches, looking like a couple.
The two of them had no idea that not far away on the bridge, a pair of slightly resentful eyes were staring at their clasped hands.
When Yu Qingli returned to the mansion, it was already completely dark. When she quietly returned to Liyuan, she found that the yard was pitch black.
He couldn't help but pause, feeling a little surprised. Isn't Meihong at home today?
"Meihong, Meihong?"
He called out twice in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, but received no response at all.
Yu Qingli walked in leisurely. The door of the room was ajar, but she could not hear any sound. There had never been any outsiders in Liyuan, and her food, clothing, and daily life had always been taken care of by Meihong. It was indeed strange that no one had lit the lights at this time today.
Most importantly, where did Mei Hong go?
Her heart tightened and Yu Qingli became more alert.
She reached out and gently pushed open the door. For a moment, she was unable to adapt to the darkness in the room. Yu Qingli blinked and looked carefully, but she only saw a figure sitting motionless in the darkness. Who else could it be but Mei Hong?
I couldn't help but feel scared. What the hell is Mei Hong doing?
The cold moonlight shone through the window sill onto the table, making Mei Hong's face look a bit eerie and scary, especially her round eyes, the whites of which stared coldly at Yu Qingli, and her mouth of sharp white teeth looked scary no matter how you looked at them. Where was her usual cuteness?
"Miss, are you back?"
It doesn't have the warmth of the past, and it's even a bit chilly. Even in this slightly dull summer, it can still make people feel a little cold in their hearts.
Yu Qingli was confused. What exactly happened?
Frowning slightly, Yu Qingli spoke with concern, "Meihong, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you light the lamp?"
Mei Hong didn't directly answer Yu Qingli's question. Instead, she asked, "Miss, did you have fun playing with Prince Yan today?"
Before Yu Qingli could answer, Mei Hong's face showed a bit of sadness. Yu Qingli then discovered that Mei Hong was holding a letter in her hand. If she guessed correctly, it should be sent to her by Murong Feng.
Suddenly, all of Mei Hong's abnormal behaviors were explained. Yu Qingli quickly connected the cause and effect of the matter in her mind. That's it!
Mei Hong must have accidentally discovered that she and Murong Yanhui were very close, and then she received a letter from Murong Feng at this time, so she probably felt sorry for Murong Feng.
After figuring this out, Yu Qingli came up with a plan to deal with it.
She walked into the house in two or three steps, lit the candle in the room, and then burst out laughing.
"Meihong, are you jealous?"
"what?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, why are you so angry?" Yu Qingli deliberately called a spade a spade, "Oh my, how come I didn't know, Meihong, when did you fall in love with the King of Yan?"
Mei Hong was speechless. Her cold expression faded a lot, and her pretty face flushed red. "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? How could this servant like the Prince of Yan? Even if I did like him, it should be..."
Mei Hong seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her words and quickly fell silent.
Yu Qingli narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, pretending to be puzzled and asked, "Oh? Isn't it the King of Yan? Then who is it?"
Mei Hong bit her lip, but ultimately remained silent. She was just a maid, so what right did she have to say she liked him? She had previously seen the young lady holding hands with the playboy Prince Yan, which had inexplicably angered her. The eldest prince was deeply in love with the young lady, but was the young lady secretly having an affair with that playboy prince?
If the Crown Prince knew about this, wouldn't it cause a huge uproar?! Worse still, he might even cancel their agreement out of disdain for the young lady's innocence. If that were to happen, wouldn't my dream be shattered?
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache! I feel sorry for the eldest prince! I also think the young lady is too much! Of course, the most hateful person is that inexplicably appearing Prince Yan!
But now, when Yu Qingli suddenly asked her this, she didn't know how to answer. It would be fine if her feelings were misunderstood, but if the young lady gave her to King Yan as a slave on a whim, wouldn't her life be ruined?
Yu Qingli felt increasingly cold in her heart. It had only been a short time, and Mei Hong had actually started to side with Murong Feng. There was even resentment and hatred in her eyes. Was this hatred directed towards herself or Murong Yanhui?
How ridiculous! She seems to be nothing at this moment, right?
She vaguely recalled that in her past life, her ruthless daughter had accused her of infidelity. If it weren't for Mei Hong's warning, why would her daughter be so aggressive and want to accuse her?
The colder his heart grew, the brighter the smile on his lips grew. "What's wrong, Meihong? Are you shy because of what I said? Is there anything we can't say to each other? Are you saying one thing and thinking another?"
Yu Qingli deliberately walked to Mei Hong's side and lowered her voice, "Mei Hong, if you really like Prince Yan, I will certainly help you! Although Prince Yan is a playboy, he is also a royal relative. If you really follow him, you will become my relative in the future. Oh, by the way, I think I should also call you the Royal Aunt..."
"Miss!"
Mei Hong panicked and interrupted Yu Qingli, suddenly kneeling down in front of her. "Miss, please stop joking with me. How could a humble servant like me have such delusions? Today, I saw the Prince of Yan harassing you, and I felt unfair for you. What's more, if the Crown Prince knew about this, how would you explain it to him?"
Mei Hong said as she respectfully handed the letter to Yu Qingli. "Miss, look, the eldest prince has written to you again. It's only been a few days. He must be thinking about you. I know your heart is with him..."
Yu Qingli stepped forward and helped Mei Hong up, smiling and saying, "Mei Hong, you are indeed my good sister. It's not in vain that we've been master and servant for so many years. Hurry and get up."
Meihong became more and more confused. What did the young lady mean by this?
