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

Chapter 324 Reunion of old friends

Concubine Yu's heart tightened immediately, and by the time she realized it, she had already spoken, "Your Majesty, wait a minute, these people cannot be killed!"

Murong Shiling frowned slightly, but his voice became dangerous, "Oh, why is that?"

"Royal brother, these people really can't be killed. If they die like this, how can you know the mastermind behind them? They can actually appear in the palace so openly. There must be an insider in the palace. Maybe their purpose is to frame the imperial concubine!"

Murong Yanhui took over the conversation in time, which made Concubine Yu breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that King Yan was indeed on Yu Qingli's side.

The emperor seemed to think that what he said made sense. After all, how could these commoners enter the inner courtyard of the imperial palace so easily? There must be something fishy going on.

Queen Li standing aside was so angry that she almost bit her teeth. This damn Prince of Yan, why is he always involved?

The Chen couple were quickly taken away. Although Young Master Chen was still shouting, no one paid any attention to him. Instead, Mr. Chen, who was also an official, had already understood the situation and knew that they were being used. He pursed his lips and said nothing, only giving Concubine Yu a meaningful look when he left.

Everything was finally revealed, but the emperor had a new suspicion. He glanced at Prince Yan and Baili Changjue standing before the palace, "How did Master Baili know that his younger sister was in the palace?"

Baili Changjue replied calmly, "This is all thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan. When we met again as old friends, I informed His Royal Highness of my little sister's disappearance, hoping for your help. When His Royal Highness saw my little sister's portrait, he was horrified. Only then did I know that this girl had secretly entered the palace and was favored by the Emperor, becoming his Imperial Concubine."

Imperial Concubine Yu stood aside, her face filled with guilt as she said, "I'm sorry for worrying you, big brother. I was too absurd before. I'd like to trouble you to go back and tell my parents that I'm doing well in the palace now, so don't worry."

Baili Changjue agreed, but Murong Shiling was still puzzled. How could this matter be such a coincidence? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was deliberately arranged. However, getting the young master of the Baili family to come forward and acknowledge his relationship was not a simple matter. But if the Prince of Yan and Baili Changjue were friends, this matter would be much easier to explain.

Although he was confused, Murong Shiling had no intention of making things difficult for this young master from a noble family. Since he had a valid reason and said that Concubine Yu was his lost sister Baili Yu, he had no evidence to refute it. It would be better for him to start with the three people who entered the palace inexplicably and see what was going on.

Thinking of this, Murong Shiling had already made up his mind, "Since Concubine Yu has reunited with my brother, then you can go back first. As for my seventh brother, forget it, you should leave with them. I will personally interrogate those prisoners!"

Murong Yan returned their greetings and then they all retreated.

After walking out of Chaofeng Palace, Concubine Yu was about to speak when she was stopped by Murong Yanhui's look. Concubine Yu knew that there were spies everywhere in the palace, and there was no guarantee that their words would not reach the emperor's ears.

When the three of them arrived at Anle Palace, Murong Yanhui ordered the shadow guard Changkong to guard the door. The panicked Concubine Yu then noticed that there was another person in the palace.

"Ms. Yu..."

Yu Qingli smiled gracefully, took a few light steps, and stepped forward to hold Concubine Yu's hand. "I'm sorry to have frightened you, but fortunately, there's still time for everything."

Concubine Yu nodded slightly, but her mood towards Yu Qingli became both awed and frightened. If Yu Qingli had not removed all the birthmarks on her body with special medicine earlier, she would probably have been thrown into the cell by now.

I have to say, this princess is really thoughtful!

Concubine Yu's eyes were filled with reverence, yet also a bit of anxiety. She spoke worriedly, "Miss Yu, my parents..."

"Don't worry about that, I've already made arrangements."

"Thank you so much! I really can't repay you for your kindness!"

As soon as Imperial Concubine Yu finished speaking, Murong Yanhui took over and said, "Imperial Concubine Yu, you can't be partial to one and ignore the other. After all, I have helped you. Don't you plan to repay me?"

As soon as he said that, he saw Yu Qingli's face was not very good. He coughed and explained, "Lili, that's not what I meant..."

"Qingli has no business what the prince means, I just hope that the prince will respect himself and not provoke my people!"

Baili Changjue, who was standing by, watched the interaction between the two with great interest. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said gloatingly, "Miss Yu is right. For such a small matter, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wouldn't ask the young lady to marry him, would he?"

Murong Yan turned around and glared at his bad friend. Lili had already misunderstood, but he didn't help to explain. Instead, he added fuel to the fire. It was really hateful!

Baili Changjue laughed loudly. Seeing his friend being humiliated was really a great pleasure in his life. However, jokes should always be kept within limits. Just a little bit of fun would be enough. If you really annoyed someone, then the result would be more than worth it.

Baili Changjue stopped smiling, and Yu Qingli's expression also softened a bit. "Let's get down to business!"

Everyone present nodded slightly. Later, Imperial Concubine Yu learned Baili Changjue's identity from the introduction. The sister she was impersonating was also quite a significant figure, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. "What if His Majesty sends someone to investigate?"

"Don't worry about that. The emperor can't find out anything good." Baili Changjue said proudly. In fact, as long as he wanted, all the news about the Baili family in the world would be false. However, it was true that he had a younger sister. Because of the protection of her family, the real Baili Yu would never appear in front of people, and no outsider knew what she looked like.

So, in other words, Concubine Yu is absolutely safe, and with such an identity, the emperor would not dare to touch her easily during the days she is in the palace. After all, he also has to consider the situation of the Baili family, right?

Sometimes the imperial court would not easily touch people from the underworld.

Concubine Yu bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Master Baili!"

"You don't have to thank me. I'm only doing my duty when someone asks me to. Besides, this time, I'm not just talking. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan has asked me to do this, how can I give up halfway? From today on, you are my Baili Changjue's adopted sister. However, you must still declare to the outside world that you are my biological sister. Do you understand?"

Concubine Yu nodded slightly, but was deeply moved in her heart. She knew how much benefit it would bring to her to make friends with such a person. She was originally just a prisoner waiting to die in the dungeon, but after meeting Yu Qingli, she had so many changes and opportunities.

Yu Qingli sighed softly, "Actually, this is what you deserve. Compared to what you've done, this is not enough to make up for it."

If it weren't for Concubine Yu, her identity would have been exposed, and Murong Shiling would never let her go. Yu Qingli knew this very well, so she was very grateful to Concubine Yu in her heart. Although Concubine Yu said that she would definitely leave the palace, it would definitely not be now.

The only remaining problem now is how to rescue the three members of the Chen family from the cell and send them out safely.

Fortunately, Yu Qingli had already made careful arrangements.

It was a dark and windy night. Several figures quietly disappeared into the darkness and slowly approached the prison cell. The guarding soldiers yawned in boredom. Although His Majesty had given orders that these prisoners must be well guarded, these people who looked ordinary in clothes and were as timid as mice did not require them to spend much effort.

Just when they thought everything was fine, the guards were eliminated one by one in the darkness. When they found out, they only saw the three ordinary prisoners being taken away from the cell.

The Chen couple were rescued from the cell in the middle of the night. They were terrified and didn't even know who saved them. The men in black just gave them a carriage and some silver, and gave them an address to take refuge there, saying that they would make other arrangements later.

The three members of the Chen family who had escaped death had no time to care about anything else. They had already been tortured in the cell today and knew that if they stayed any longer they would surely die. When faced with life, people would always be a little more rational and left quietly as instructed.

The next morning, when the emperor received the news, there was no trace of the Chen couple in the cell.

Murong Shileng was extremely angry, but he couldn't figure out whether it was Concubine Yu or Queen Li who saved people. It was not until a soldier guarding the cell put something in front of Murong Shileng that the suspicion on his face turned into anger!

In Chaofeng Palace, Queen Li was extremely angry at this time. Prince Yan, it was Prince Yan again. She always felt that Prince Yan was having an affair with Yu Qingli, which always displeased her. Now she didn't expect that he was having an affair with Concubine Yu again. It was really surprising.

"Mother, please calm down. A mere Concubine Yu won't have much impact!" Murong Feng had already heard about this incident. Although he was a little surprised, he was still calm.

"That's easy to say, but His Majesty has already begun to doubt me. And I heard that His Majesty stayed at Imperial Concubine Yu's place last night. What does this mean? Imperial Concubine Yu's status has not been shaken at all."

"Mother, when did you become so narrow-minded? Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters. I really find this kind of jealousy boring.

"That being said, I still feel uncomfortable. And that Yu Qingli is clearly against me. What's going on? Have you tried to figure it out?"

"Don't worry, mother. I will handle this matter well. I also feel something is strange about Yu Qingli. It seems different from what we expected."

"Just take it to heart. I don't want you to be deceived by that woman."

"I don't trust her that much yet. She won't have that chance!"
