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

Chapter 525 Taking a break from the busy schedule

When Yu Qingli and her servant walked out of the cell, they saw a tall figure leaning against the door casually, with some weed in his mouth that he had gotten from somewhere. He looked a bit like a ruffian from the city, but his innate nobility and amazing face weakened his ruffian look a bit, making people feel that he was unrestrained and carefree.

Yu Qingli smiled and couldn't help but tease, "How come the dignified Prince of Yan has become the guard of this cell?"

"My treasure is here, how can I leave?"

Murong Yan's reply was as natural as a matter of course, which made Yu Qingli's ears blush. She wanted to tease him, but she didn't expect to be teased by him. However, she was really stupid to compete with King Yan in talking.

His expression immediately darkened, "Little Uncle, is it okay for you not to go home so late?"

"Isn't this waiting for you?"

"wait for me?"

Murong Yan smiled back, "Lili, you've been so busy with your work these days that I'm afraid you've forgotten Yue'er. But Yue'er has been clamoring to see you. Counting the days, it's been quite a while since we last saw each other."

Yu Qingli's heart softened. It turned out to be her negligence. Ever since Murong Yan returned to the battlefield, Murong Yue had been sent out of the palace. After returning to the palace, she had been busy with various trivial matters. She hadn't seen this child for a long time.

Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui indifferently. This person knew how to make her feel soft-hearted. Murong Yanhui smiled and just hugged her in his arms.

"Actually, I didn't want you to go see Yue'er either, but Yue'er has been sick these past few days and has been clamoring to see you, so I had no choice."

"Yue'er is sick? Is it serious?"

Yu Qingli frowned, obviously feeling sad about the news. When she thought about such a lively child now having to stay in bed, she felt an indescribable depression in her heart.

Murong Yanhui was a little annoyed, secretly blaming himself for speaking out too quickly, which made Yu Qingli unhappy, so he hurried to comfort her.

"It's nothing, just a slight cold. I've already seen the doctor. I just need to rest for a few days."

Yu Qingli's expression softened slightly, and she rubbed her brows and said, "We need to be most careful with children this young, especially since the weather is getting colder. If it's just a common cold, it's fine, but if it develops a fever, it's not good."

"That's right. Fortunately, Yue'er has been taken care of by Linlang these days, so I feel more at ease."

Yu Qingli nodded slightly. With the child's biological mother taking care of him, outsiders like them should naturally feel at ease. However, judging from Murong Yan's tone, she seemed to be going directly to the Beauty House.

Sure enough, the carriage moved forward. On the way, Yu Qingli closed her eyes and rested for a while. When she came to her senses again, the carriage had stopped in Wuyi Lane.

A clever servant came to greet them. It seemed that he already knew Murong Yanhui's identity and purpose. Without even asking, he led the man directly through the lobby to the second floor of the back hall.

Before entering the door, I could hear the laughter of several people, both men and women, but it was definitely not Murong Yue.

Yu Qingli was stunned and her steps could not help but pause. What did this mean? Could it be that Murong Yanhui had deceived her? But why would he trick her into coming here for no reason?

While she was thinking about random things, Murong Yanhui had already pushed open the door. She saw two men and two women. Except for one of the women, Yu Qingli was very familiar with the others.

Qu Linlang was naturally sitting in the middle, and the two men should be Murong Yanhui's bad friends Baili Changjue and Ye Lixue. As for the fourth person, Yu Qingli had never seen him before.

Yu Qingli's gaze naturally fell on the new woman. Her face was a little blue, and although her skin was very white, it was vaguely bloodless. Her lips, which should have been rosy, were also a little pale. Her pair of almond-shaped eyes were slightly drooped, and she looked quiet, strong, and extremely weak.

When the woman saw Yu Qingli come in, she was the first to stand up. Her somewhat reserved smile made Yu Qingli let down all her defenses instantly. The woman's smile was so beautiful, and the purity and sincerity that reached her eyes were irresistible. Even if she was not with these people he knew, he would probably like her very much.

Qu Linlang and the others also stood up. "Our distinguished guest has finally arrived. Miss Yu, it's been so difficult waiting for you."

Yu Qingli laughed and said, "Sister Linlang, you're joking. I just got my freedom, and it's really my fault for not coming to visit you. Today I'll punish myself with three cups. Sister, please don't be stingy. I know you have a lot of good wine hidden here!"

Qu Linlang didn't respond, but glanced at Murong Yanhui with a half-smile, "Your Highness, they say that those who are close to vermilion become red, and those who are close to ink become black. This gentle and respectful Miss Yu has only been with you for a few days, and yet she's already so overwhelming. This is your responsibility. Shouldn't the punishment of drinking wine fall on you?"

"This is natural!"

Murong Yanhui touched his nose and felt quite happy with it. It was just drinking, not a big deal for him.

Baili Changjue, who was sitting there, saw this and laughed, "How could the dignified King of Yan be so obedient now? This kind of behavior doesn't even embody the reputation of being a romantic!"

"That's right. This is a different time now. You are the son of the martial arts leader, but you have to do odd jobs here too. You have to listen to some people."

Murong Yanhui has always been rude to his bad friends.

With a "puff", the strange woman suddenly laughed, but soon she felt that she was rude and her face turned red. Ye Lixue beside her calmly hugged her in his arms.

"Forehead……"

Yu Qingli seemed to understand something instantly. This person might be Ye Lixue's sweetheart. However, what was the purpose of such a gathering?

Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui, who gave her a reassuring smile and pulled her to sit down.

Yu Qingli was still worried about Murong Yue. As soon as she sat down, she asked with a hint of concern, "Sister Linlang, I heard Yue'er accidentally caught a cold. I wonder how she's doing now?"

"Thank you for your concern, sister. Yue'er is fine now. He was clamoring to see you just now, but he fell asleep after waiting for a while. I asked someone to take him to rest."

Yu Qingli felt relieved at this point. It seemed that Murong Yanhui had not intentionally deceived her.

After everyone was seated, Murong Yanhui took the initiative to speak: "Lili, actually, I called you here today, firstly, for friends to get together, and secondly, because I actually want your help with something."

Yu Qingli was puzzled. Why were they so polite to each other?

"I think we should introduce them first. I guess Sister Qingli hasn't gotten to know these people properly yet."

As Qu Linlang spoke, she introduced Yu Qingli to the people present. Except for the new woman, the other two had already seen Yu Qingli, so they did not react much. However, the woman was surprised after hearing Yu Qingli's name.

"So you are Yu Qingli, the talented woman famous throughout Jiangnan! I've heard of your name for a long time!"

"I don't deserve it. These are just empty titles given by others. I wonder what you should call me, young lady."

The woman seemed a little shy, but her eyes were clear and her demeanor was very generous. "My name is Chen Ying. Nice to meet you."

Yu Qingli couldn't help but exclaim when she heard the name, "Could it be the daughter of Old Minister Chen?"

Chen Ying was surprised and said, "My father has resigned from his official position for many years. I'm surprised that Miss knew about this!"

Yu Qingli had a complicated expression. If she remembered correctly, this person was the future Crown Princess in her previous life. Because of the change in her fate in this life, even the fate of other people was changed. She just didn't expect that this woman would appear in her life, and in the way she did now.

Murong Yanhui noticed that something was wrong with Yu Qingli and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yu Qingli came back to her senses. Why should she be so entangled in the things of her past life? Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Nothing. I just thought Miss Chen looked very familiar. I wonder if I have seen her somewhere before."

"I do remember that once when I went to Jiangnan, I saw Miss Yu at a poetry competition. She was truly amazing and admirable."

"Miss Chen, you are too kind."

After they got to know each other, Murong Yanhui straightened his expression and said, "Let's get back to the point. Brother Ye, don't you have something to discuss with Lili in person?"

Everyone in the group also became serious and their eyes fell on Ye Lixue.

Ye Lixue didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "In fact, I asked the prince to invite Miss here today specifically to do business with you."

"Business?"

"Yes, I know Miss Yu has a blood toad. Name your price!"

Ye Lixue was always straightforward, which surprised Yu Qingli. How could such a person manage such a large chamber of commerce? It was really hard to understand.

Seeing Yu Qingli remained silent, Ye Lixue frowned, thinking that she was unwilling to give up, and could not help but look at Murong Yanhui who was standing beside her, "Didn't we agree on this?"

"Brother Ye, don't worry. Lili has her own plans."

Chen Ying on the side gently tugged at Ye Lixue's sleeve, and that cold face changed at an almost inaudible speed, becoming more tender.

"May I ask who wants to use this blood toad?"

Chen Ying took over the conversation, "Actually, Axue did it for me. To be honest, I've had poor health since I was a child. A fortune teller once said I wouldn't live past the age of fifteen. Fortunately, Axue has always taken good care of me, which is why I'm still alive today. Before, everyone thought my frailty was congenital, but a while ago, I met an old doctor who diagnosed me and said it was man-made and caused by poisoning!"

Chen Ying had probably said too much and was slightly out of breath. Ye Lixue held her hand distressedly and said, "Okay, I'll tell you what's next."

"The old doctor said that Ying'er has been poisoned for too long, and now the poison has penetrated deep into her bones. If she wants to survive, she can only find someone to replace her poisonous blood. However, this method is extremely dangerous and often results in a near-fatal death."
