Chapter 342 The difference in status
Murong Yanhui put on a mocking smile and said, "If they want to deal with Lili, they may not think that Lili is too simple."
Baili Changjue just smiled and said nothing, but from his expression, it seemed that he agreed with what Murong Yanhui said.
"By the way, Baili, I heard that Lili asked Linlang to help her keep an eye on the Persians?"
"The prince's news is quite fast. I just got the news."
"Of course. What's the relationship between me and Linlang?"
Looking at Murong Yanhui's smug look, Baili Changjue felt like slapping him for the first time. Although his status made him dare not speak out, he thought in his heart that there was nothing wrong with it.
This bad friend! He knew that his relationship with Linlang was not progressing, yet he deliberately said this to hurt him. Fortunately, this was not the first time he had been hurt, and he had long been used to it.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore." His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan finally stopped his boring behavior and started talking to Baili Changjue about serious matters. "Persia must have some other purpose for coming here so hastily this time."
"What else could it be? Diplomatic relations between two countries inevitably involve marriage. Haven't you heard that the Persian envoy this time is a prince? I heard that this prince is very handsome. Your Highness should be careful not to be outdone."
"Just a barbarian, not worth mentioning!"
Murong Yanhui didn't care at all, but in recent days, the border areas have begun to stir, and it seems that Canghe's peaceful days are about to come to an end.
Murong Yanhui looked up at the setting sun, wondering if he, a leisurely prince, would still be so leisurely if there was an emergency at the border.
"Baili, the matter of the Persian envoy is now in your hands."
Baili Changjue was visibly taken aback. "What? You want me to work for nothing?"
Murong Yan gave him a cold look. "It's okay if you don't take over. After all, Linlang has already agreed to help. Since you and her have separated so clearly, I will pay you separately. However, whether or not I can win the beauty is not up to you, Master Baili, to decide. After all, Linlang is Yue'er's mother, right?"
Baili Changjue's handsome face flushed red, but it was obvious that he was angry. After a while, he uttered four words, "Despicable villain..."
"Huh? How do you know my nickname?"
A certain evil prince was laughing so hard that his body was shaking, but Baili, his good friend, looked frustrated as if he wanted to bang his head against the wall. After knowing each other for so long, he actually still expected to see the word "morality" in Prince Yan. What a failure.
All of Murong Yanhui's moral integrity has been given to his beautiful Lili. Where is there any room for them?
"By the way, there is one more thing!" Murong Yanhui's expression suddenly became serious, which made Baili Changjue become more serious. He stared at him with a straight posture, waiting for his next words.
"Let Li Xue check someone for me."
"Who?"
"Queen Mother!"
When these two words came out of Murong Yanhui's mouth, Baili Changjue's expression changed. A hint of doubt appeared between his brows, "Why are you suddenly interested in an old woman?"
Murong Yanhui glanced at Baili Changjue calmly, "Because my concubine Qing has betrayed me!"
This news made Baili Changjue's mouth so surprised that an egg could fit in it. He had known Murong Yanhui for many years and naturally knew about the existence of Aunt Qing. He had even dealt with this person personally before, and she didn't look like someone who would change hands.
Is it true that you can only know a person's face but not his heart? Baili Changjue was filled with emotion, and then he patted Murong Yanhui's shoulder heavily. The silent comfort made Murong Yanhui very happy.
"Don't worry! I'm fine now, but I'm worried that Qingluan will reveal something she shouldn't."
"So... do you want to get rid of her?"
Murong Yanhui was silent for a moment. "Not for now! I still have a use for this person. You just need to investigate what secrets have been going on between Qingluan and the Queen Mother over the past three months."
"This is not difficult. Just wait for my news." Baili Changjue agreed to Murong Yanhui's request.
Murong Yanhui nodded slightly, feeling relieved. Now, he was also very curious about why Concubine Qing, who was supposed to be loyal to his mother, had defected to the Queen Mother. If it was for power, why would she wait until today?
On the other side, Yu Qingli returned to the hall. Mei Hong was still kneeling there straight. The cold sweat on her head had stained her makeup. Her face was ashen and looked extremely ugly.
When she saw Yu Qingli and the others coming back, Mei Hong just straightened her back even more, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Yu Qingli walked straight past where Mei Hong was kneeling, without even a glance at her. She turned around and instructed Xiluo, "Xiluo, tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. Oh, and go see the Crown Prince while you're at it. Tell him I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes!"
Xiluo bowed and quickly left the hall. Meihong felt a glimmer of hope in her heart when she heard this. Will the eldest prince come? Will she be saved?
Qinghe on the side didn't dare to say a word. Meihong had been kneeling for a whole day. In fact, she had already informed the eldest prince about this matter a long time ago, but it seemed that the prince didn't care about it. He even sneered and said that Meihong deserved it.
Qinghe looked at Meihong with a slightly pity look, but then she changed her mind and realized that what the eldest prince said was actually true. Meihong had secretly done many things that were unfair to the prince's wife, so it was entirely her own fault that she ended up in this situation.
Thinking of this, Qinghe's compassion disappeared in an instant, and she just stood aside obediently, waiting for arrangements.
Yu Qingli leaned sideways on the soft couch, her eyes slightly narrowed, her eyes like a deep pool, making it impossible to see the bottom. Her gaze fell on Mei Hong, which only made Mei Hong feel even colder.
How could a lady who was always gentle have such a cold look in her eyes? But now was obviously not the time to dwell on this matter, because that cold gaze was falling on her.
After kneeling for a whole day without a drop of water, Meihong was already dizzy and hungry. And it was not just hunger, but also an indescribable feeling of dizziness and nausea.
Mei Hong blinked her eyes to clear the mist from her eyes. She knew that it was not the right time yet. Her weapon would only be useful when that person appeared.
And while she was anxiously waiting, Murong Feng finally appeared.
Murong Feng was wearing a white brocade robe today, with proud plum red embroidered on the bottom. He looked cold and aloof, with a hint of self-admiration. Murong Feng looked so high-spirited, elegant and handsome.
As soon as he stepped into the hall, Murong Feng knew the reason why Yu Qingli called him over today, because he also saw Mei Hong kneeling there.
His eyes lightly swept over Mei Hong's figure, then quickly turned his head away and walked past her as if he didn't see her.
Mei Hong's big round eyes were filled with tears. The hazy mist and slightly pale face made her look pitiful.
But unfortunately, Murong Feng didn't seem to care much. On the contrary, after his gaze swept across Mei Hong, it stayed on the woman who was half leaning on the couch.
This woman has always been aloof, perhaps because of her background, she always has a hint of arrogance and indifference, and that innate temperament makes people feel sacred and inviolable.
But at this moment, Yu Qingli was half leaning there, with a lazy look on her face, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, revealing a fatal temptation. It was just a leaning action, but it made people feel an indescribable charm and elegance.
At this moment, Murong Feng felt as if his heart was hit, and the next second, he felt his breathing become heavy.
Murong Feng never knew that the woman who had become his wife would have such a great appeal to him. Before, he only thought she was beautiful, but somewhat disliked her cold temperament. In bed, he still preferred passionate women. But at this moment, he felt that he was wrong. How could a woman who was so charming in every gesture be cold?
Maybe, I just haven't seen her enthusiasm before.
For some reason, Murong Feng suddenly had this idea. He just wanted to hold this woman in his arms.
Murong Feng has always been a man of action, so he walked straight past Mei Hong and headed towards the soft couch. He sat down beside her affectionately, his voice extremely gentle, "Qingli? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Qingli raised her eyes slightly, a hint of grievance and vulnerability in them, but she concealed it calmly. She sat up straight in a panic, "Your Highness, you're here?"
"Didn't you say you would call me like you used to? How did you forget again?"
Although the words were slightly reproachful, the tone was full of doting. However, it did not sound very comfortable to Yu Qingli.
This kind of seemingly pampering is really disgusting to listen to!
But no matter how disgusting it is, the play must be performed as it should be. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of all my efforts?
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli raised the corners of her lips and pulled out a self-deprecating smile, "Brother Feng, it's not that I forgot, it's just that recently, I always feel that such a title is a bit inappropriate."
Yu Qingli's voice was very soft, as soft as a feather passing through Murong Feng's heart, making him feel as if even his blood was roaring.
He wants this woman!
Murong Feng suddenly became extremely determined. He wanted not only her but also her heart.
Looking at Murong Feng's sudden serious expression, Yu Qingli was in a trance for a moment, but it was only a moment, because soon, she discovered something that made her happy, her prey was hooked!
On the day Yu Qingli returned to this world, she had already decided to let Murong Feng taste what she had felt, the feeling of being betrayed by the one she loved.
But in recent days, she began to feel uncertain again. Judging from Murong Feng's attitude towards her, it was nonsense to expect Murong Feng to truly fall in love with her. And if he didn't love her, how could her revenge be so thorough?
