Chapter 311 Taking advantage of the situation (2)
Behind the rockery, Xiluo glanced at Meihong and quietly returned to Yu Qingli.
"Miss, I'm afraid today's matter is not over yet. Murong Feng just asked Meihong, and although she said the same thing as Qinghe, I still feel that things are not that simple." Xiluo had just finished speaking when she heard a commotion in the yard. A crisp voice immediately rang out, "Mother, your Yue'er is back."
Yu Qingli smiled when she heard that and stood up to greet him.
Murong Yan hugged Murong Yue back, both of them had a playful and teasing look on their faces.
Murong Yan glanced back at Ju'an Hall with lightning-fast eyes. Seeing nothing unusual, he became increasingly nervous. He looked at Yu Qingli with doubtful eyes, but saw Yu Qingli avoid his gaze and took Murong Yue's hand, scolding her, "Look at you, you went out for some fun, and you turned into a little cat?"
Surprisingly, Murong Yanhui did not follow Yu Qingli into the hall, but glanced at the side room next to Ju'an Hall.
As soon as he entered the palace, Xiao Liuzi reported to him what happened in the palace. Murong Yanhui knew the whole cause and effect immediately after thinking about it. He also knew that Murong Feng was very suspicious. Since Yu Zhenzhen dared to harm Yu Qingli in front of him this time, he might as well add fuel to the fire and fish in troubled waters. Who wouldn't know how to do that?
Murong Yanhui smiled coldly, turned around and walked towards the side hall, whispering as he walked, "Xiao Liuzi, you know what to do, right?"
Xiao Liuzi bowed and immediately left Ju'an Hall, running towards the palace where Murong Yuan lived.
Yu Zhenzhen was sitting in the palace, tearing the handkerchief in her hand with anger. She had of course seen what Qinghe had done. She had originally wanted Murong Feng to catch Yu Qingli in the act, but she didn't expect that in the end she would be splashed with dirty water. The most important thing was that Yu Qingli had returned to the palace early, so Murong Yuan must have disturbed Murong Yan's good mood.
The more Yu Zhenzhen thought about it, the angrier she became. She slapped the mahogany table hard. With a crisp "pa" sound, a teacup fell to the ground, splashing countless fragments. One of the fragments directly splashed to the door.
Murong Yanhui glanced down and said with a smile, "Which brave servant offended Miss Yu?"
Yu Zhenzhen was startled when she heard this, and looked up in surprise, "Your Highness Prince Yan, why are you here?"
Yu Zhenzhen was flustered and quickly straightened her appearance, but she was also worried that Murong Yan would see her angry look.
"Why, you're not welcome?" Murong Yan gave a wicked smile and was about to turn and leave.
In her anxiety, Yu Zhenzhen grabbed the corner of Murong Yanhui's clothes. Murong Yanhui lowered his eyes and looked sideways, with a faint smile on his lips. That smile was like a cat's paw, gently passing through Yu Zhenzhen's heart. She let go of her hand embarrassedly and lowered her head shyly.
"Your Highness Prince Yan rarely visits. Zhenzhen is truly flattered. I lost my composure just now, and I hope Your Highness doesn't mind." Yu Zhenzhen said as she walked to the table and immediately poured a cup of tea. "Since Your Highness is here, please sit for a while."
Murong Yan turned her gaze to the teacup, and suddenly she noticed a figure flash outside the window out of the corner of her eye.
Murong Yanhui knew that Xiao Liuzi was about to arrive, so she slowly reached out to take the teacup and sniffed it. "This Da Hong Pao has a rich aroma, and it seems to be better than the one my father loves the most."
Yu Zhenzhen was so delighted that she couldn't understand the meaning behind Murong Yan's reply. She just smiled and said, "If Your Highness likes it, Zhenzhen will send some to Your Highness tomorrow."
"That's not necessary. I don't like strong smells." Murong Yanhui played with the teacup in his hand, wondering how to start the conversation.
"Then Zhenzhen will change the tea for His Highness." Yu Zhenzhen said as she reached out to take the teacup from Murong Yanhui's hand, but Murong Yanhui suddenly grabbed Yu Zhenzhen's hand.
Murong Yan returned the warmth to her palm and suddenly squeezed it. Yu Zhenzhen only felt the warmth on the back of her hand, and her heart seemed to tremble.
"Your Highness..." Yu Zhenzhen called out shyly, but the sound was not much different from a mosquito's hum.
Seeing Murong Yuan storming in from outside, Murong Yanhui immediately spoke softly, "Zhenzhen, today's..." Murong Yanhui turned the teacup in his hand as he spoke, "This prince is actually quite satisfied. If you go to such lengths, how can this prince bear the consequences?"
Yu Zhenzhen was confused as she listened to Murong Yanhui's gentle and magnetic voice. She never thought that Murong Yanhui would plot against her. She just thought that her sincerity would move mountains and break stones.
"Your Highness, it is Zhenzhen's honor to be able to do something for Your Highness."
"That won't make you suffer so much. What will happen if others find out?" Murong Yan's reply was extremely ambiguous, but Yu Zhenzhen felt very happy.
As soon as Murong Yuan walked to the door, she heard the conversation between Murong Yanhui and Yu Zhenzhen. She was already in a bad mood because of her setback, and when she saw Qu Linlang's stunning appearance at the door of Qionglou, she had no place to vent her anger.
Murong Yuan failed to catch Yu Qingli in the act in Qionglou, and instead annoyed Murong Feng. She had originally planned to return to the palace to find Yu Zhenzhen to explain things clearly. Deep down, Murong Yuan did not believe that Yu Zhenzhen had deceived her. She just felt that Yu Qingli was cunning and that she and Yu Zhenzhen had probably been fooled by Yu Qingli.
But who knew that as soon as I entered the palace, I heard the conversation between Xiao Liuzi and a group of young eunuchs. They said that Murong Yan went back to find Yu Zhenzhen and brought some things to thank her for her help today.
In a rage, Murong Yuan ran to Yu Zhenzhen without thinking, wanting to get to the bottom of things, but she accidentally overheard the conversation between Murong Yanhui and Yu Zhenzhen.
Murong Yuan had been scolded by Murong Feng, so naturally she didn't dare to act on her own again. She immediately crouched down and hid aside, holding her breath and listening to the sound at the foot of the wall.
Murong Yanhui had been luring her into a trap, and when he saw Murong Yuan had fallen for it, he immediately exaggerated the situation and said some ambiguous words. Yu Zhenzhen had no suspicion and chatted happily with Murong Yanhui. However, she didn't know that the happier she was, the more suspicious Murong Yuan became.
Not only that, what made Murong Yuan feel most angry was that Yu Zhenzhen seemed to have deceived her in some way. Judging from her attitude towards the little emperor's uncle, could it be that the person she really liked was the little emperor's uncle?
When she thought of this possibility, Murong Yuan's eyes cooled down. She reviewed everything that happened before and after Yu Zhenzhen entered the palace, and this feeling became stronger.
Murong Yuan gritted her teeth, "Yu Zhenzhen! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Murong Yan chatted for a while, and when he saw that they had almost finished talking, he stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you today."
Yu Zhenzhen nodded, looking at Murong Yan reluctantly and replied, "Your Highness, will you come to see Zhenzhen again?"
Ever since she moved into the palace, Murong Yanhui seemed to be avoiding her. Yu Zhenzhen was really afraid that after today she would not see Murong Yanhui again.
Murong Yanhui did not give Yu Zhenzhen a direct answer. She just turned around with an unfathomable smile and turned to leave Yu Zhenzhen's room.
Murong Yuan hid aside and watched Yu Zhenzhen see Murong Yanhui off. Her eyes were full of affection, and it was clear that she was extremely fond of Murong Yanhui.
"Hongxiu, hurry up and prepare the things for me. I will personally deliver them to His Royal Highness Prince Yan tomorrow." Yu Zhenzhen could no longer see Murong Yanhui, so she turned around and went into the house to prepare.
If you don’t like Dahongpao, then get some special scented tea. Yu Zhenzhen prepared with joy and hope.
Murong Yuan watched all this coldly, and suddenly she became suspicious of Yu Zhenzhen. Would a woman who was in love with Murong Yanhui take the initiative to come and report the secret meeting between the man and Yu Qingli?
Murong Yuan thought about it in her heart, and immediately calmly sorted out all the events of the day. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had been fooled by Yu Zhenzhen today. The whole city knew that Murong Feng could not take care of his wife, and she had been used as a pawn for nothing!
Murong Yuan had always been proud and aloof. How could she have ever suffered such an injustice? The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. She turned around and secretly slipped out of Ju'an Palace and ran towards Murong Feng's palace.
Yu Qingli stood in front of the window with Xiluo and watched Murong Yuan's figure disappear in Ju'an Hall.
Xiluo smiled and said, "Your Highness, this tactic of turning the tables is quite clever."
Yu Qingli sighed, "How is he so smart?"
Xiluo was slightly stunned, then said, "Your Highness's words not only helped the young lady out of this predicament, but also made Murong Yuan suspect that Yu Zhenzhen had deliberately set her up today. She will definitely bear a grudge. How could Murong Yuan trust Yu Zhenzhen in the future? Doesn't this easily split the alliance between Murong Yuan and Yu Zhenzhen for the young lady?"
Yu Qingli said, "You only see the good side, not the bad. Murong Yanhui's move does have the benefits you mentioned, but Murong Yanhui has exposed herself to Murong Feng and Murong Yuan. These two siblings are always unreasonable. How could Murong Feng possibly swallow this insult, especially after being fooled so publicly by Murong Yuan and knowing it so widely?"
Xiluo blinked her eyes and said in a voice filled with surprise, "Miss, are you worried about His Highness?"
Yu Qingli glanced at Xiluo and said, "I'm just afraid that his boring tricks will harm me."
"is it?"
"Yes." Yu Qingli answered affirmatively: "If my guess is correct, Murong Yuan should have complained to Murong Feng by now. But, how will Murong Feng end up? I heard that there was a huge commotion in the Imperial Examination Hall today."
"Isn't it? The ministers are surely discussing this matter, and perhaps His Majesty will know about it soon."
While Xiluo was speaking, she did not expect that her words would come true. Before the hour of Yin, Murong Feng knelt in front of Murong Shiling.
Murong Shiling threw the letter in his hand in front of Murong Feng and said sternly, "Look, this is the good deed you did today!"
Murong Feng reached out and picked up one of the books. He felt his scalp tingling at a glance. He didn't know which censor had dared to report him, accusing him of abandoning the Imperial Examination Hall for his children's personal affairs. The last sentence was even more pointed. If even one palace is not at peace, how can the world be at peace?
