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

Chapter 334 When is the time to retaliate?

In this deep palace, it is certainly good to have one more friend, but if that is not possible, then having one less enemy is also good.

Murong Yuan looked at Yu Qingli who was thinking with her head down, but her heart was also surging like waves. Yu Zhenzhen forgot her friends for the sake of beauty and joined forces with Murong Yanhui to make her lose face and even cause her to be confined by her father. However, this woman whom she always hated and always thought was fickle was more loyal than that Yu Zhenzhen.

Comparing the two, Murong Yuan's heart was also stirred. However, the deep-rooted prejudice against Yu Qingli in her heart was difficult to eliminate in an instant. She only looked at Yu Qingli for a moment and then turned her eyes away, thinking that now that this woman had saved her, she probably had another trick up her sleeve. She didn't believe that Yu Qingli could be so magnanimous as to repay evil with kindness.

The two of them, each arguing about their affairs, soon arrived at the palace gate. Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yuan, slowly took off her outer garment, handed it to Murong Yuan, and spoke first, "It's up to you whether you want it or not."

Murong Yuan looked at Yu Qingli's indifferent expression, then looked down at her own miserable appearance covered in mud. Finally, she reached out and took Yu Qingli's clothes. "This princess will double your compensation."

"It's just a piece of clothing." Yu Qingli refused calmly. Murong Yuan put on her clothes in a few seconds, and the carriage just stopped.

"Miss, we have entered the palace. There is no one around now." Xiluo's voice came from outside the car. Murong Yuan immediately reached out and lifted the curtain of the car.

Yu Qingli was still sitting in the carriage in silence. Murong Yuan finally couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Yu Qingli, why did you save me?"

Yu Qingli smiled when she heard this, "You are my husband's sister, why do you say I am?"

Yu Qingli's words were neither light nor heavy, but they hit Murong Yuan's heart directly. Thinking of all that Yu Zhenzhen had done to her, and then thinking of all that she had done to Yu Qingli, she felt that she was really confused. She actually teamed up with Yu Zhenzhen, an outsider, to deal with her sister-in-law.

Murong Yuan regretted it in her heart, but she didn't let it go. "Don't think I won't target you just because you said that!"

Yu Qingli smiled again, "A journey of a thousand miles tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's true character."

Upon hearing this, Murong Yuan snorted coldly, jumped off the carriage, and ran quickly towards her own palace.

Yu Qingli glanced at Xiluo and said with a smile, "Why don't you ask? Aren't you full of doubts?"

Xiluo whipped his horse and urged it on. "Young lady, you have your own plans. Why should I bother to say more?"

"You are becoming more and more clever." Yu Qingli said as she took out a coat from the drawer of the carriage and put it on.

"Really? Could it be that birds of a feather flock together?" Xiluo also teased.

Yu Qingli laughed helplessly, feeling that Xiluo was becoming more and more argumentative. "Why don't you hurry up? If you get scolded later, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Being scolded? By whom?" Xiluo was confused.

In Ju'an Palace, Xiluo looked at Murong Yanhui, who had a dark face and kept chattering, and finally understood what Yu Qingli meant.

Just as she and Yu Qingli entered the hall, Murong Yanhui immediately came up to them and scolded them. It was simply because he was worried about Yu Qingli, and he was anxious because he had waited for such a long time but no one came back. In addition, he did not dare to scold Yu Qingli directly, so he took out all his anger on himself.

Xiluo had followed Murong Yanhui for a long time, so she naturally knew the reason why the male master lost his composure. She did not feel aggrieved at all, but was genuinely happy for Yu Qingli.

But... this scolding has lasted for almost half an incense stick of time. Seeing that Murong Yanhui showed no sign of stopping, Xiluo finally couldn't help but look at Yu Qingli with an accusing look, "Miss, it's almost been an incense stick of time, and you still don't plan to save me?"

Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows and replied with her eyes: "It is better to rely on yourself than on others."

Xiluo gritted his teeth in hatred and took advantage of Murong Yanhui's moment to swallow his saliva and said, "Miss, didn't you say you were hungry? I'll go get you some snacks right away."

After Xiluo finished speaking, he didn't care about Murong Yanhui's reaction. He turned around and disappeared without a trace. Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Murong Yue.

Murong Yue immediately jumped up and shouted, "I'm hungry too, I want to eat too." Then Xiluo disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The hall, which was noisy just a moment ago, suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Murong Yanhui looked at Yu Qingli with some discomfort and picked up the tea that had already gone cold.

"Cold tea is bad for your stomach. Drink my cup." Yu Qingli handed the untouched tea bowl to Murong Yanhui.

Murong Yanhui's expression brightened slightly. She took the tea bowl and said, "Didn't you say you didn't want to go to the Beauty House? Do you not want to go, or do you not want to go with me?"

"I really didn't want to go, but I saw Murong Yuan sneaking out of the palace, and I was worried about Miss Qu's safety, so I followed her."

Yu Qingli answered without changing her expression, but she felt a little pain in her heart when she saw Murong Yanhui frowning slightly because of her words.

She quickly looked away, constantly warning herself not to be tempted by this unfaithful man again, even though the Murong Yanhui she saw today was completely different from the one she remembered.

"This Murong Yuan is really too bold. It's one thing for her to disobey the imperial order and leave the palace, but she actually dared to hire someone to hurt someone. Fortunately, Linlang is fine, otherwise I would never let this go!"

Yu Qingli sighed, "This incident was caused by me. I will definitely come to your house someday to apologize to Miss Qu."

"What does it have to do with you? Why should Lili take on this? Today, you saved Murong Yuan, but don't think that she will be grateful." Murong Yan looked at Yu Qingli worriedly.

"Of course not. Saving her is simply the lesser of two evils."

"That's good." Murong Yan replied, but couldn't help sighing in his heart. This deep palace is like the sea. There is Murong Yuan, Murong Feng and Yu Zhenzhen. Yu Qingli is in danger everywhere. Should she place a few more people to protect her?

Murong Yanhui pondered in his heart and did not say anything else. Yu Qingli glanced at him sideways, thought for a moment, and then asked, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Murong Yan replied with a "hmm" before saying, "I've already handed the captured people over to the prefect for disposal. I'm sure he won't dare touch Murong Yuan. At most, he can charge those people with some crimes and impose some fines, and that's it."

Murong Yan replied, glancing at Yu Qingli. "Your intentions are good, but it's a pity you're targeting the wrong person. Murong Yuan is definitely not someone who will repay a favor."

Yu Qingli smiled faintly upon hearing this. "Anyway, it's all out in the open. Whether or not I'm grateful is irrelevant. I just want to know from Yu Zhenzhen, does she know that this was secretly orchestrated by Murong Yuan?"

Murong Yanhui sneered, "This game is just to sow discord between the two of them. How can we keep it from her?"

"So... she didn't say anything?" Yu Qingli really wanted to know Yu Zhenzhen's reaction. This was related to the success of Murong Yanhui's plan to sow discord between them, and also to whether the alliance between Yu Zhenzhen and Murong Yuan could be broken.

"Not yet. She just looked pale. As soon as she returned to the palace, she said she wasn't feeling well and went into hiding." Murong Yan replied, "Women cherish their looks the most, especially those who think they are so beautiful like her. I'm afraid she's still feeling the effects of this incident."

Yu Qingli nodded, thinking in her mind and didn't pay attention. She picked up Murong Yanhui's cup of tea that had already gone cold. Murong Yanhui hurriedly reached out to grab the tea bowl, but who would have thought that he grabbed Yu Qingli's hand.

The slightly sharpened palm rubbed the back of Yu Qingli's hand. She was suddenly startled and her hand loosened, and the tea bowl broke at her feet.

"Lili, are you hurt?" Murong Yanhui stood up hurriedly, feeling extremely distressed when he saw the tea stains that splashed all over Yu Qingli's shoes.

Yu Qingli forced herself to suppress the pounding of her heart and quickly took a few steps back. Murong Yanhui's hand hung awkwardly between the two of them.

Seeing Murong Yanhui's somewhat hurt eyes, Yu Qingli felt sorry for him and turned away in panic, saying, "It's okay. It's Qingli's clumsiness that has caused the little uncle to worry."

A bleak smile crossed Murong Yanhui's lips, and she slowly retracted her hand. "I'm glad you're not hurt. I... I still have things to take care of. You've been busy today, so you should rest well."

After Murong Yanhui finished speaking, he left Ju'an Palace without looking back.

Yu Qingli listened to the heavy and faintly angry footsteps and felt as if her heart was being roasted on fire. The pain that penetrated into her bones made her wonder if Murong Yanhui's heart was also in as much pain as hers now, as she had been so distant just now.

Outside the window of Ju'an Palace, Murong Yue and Xiluo, who were used to hearing the noise at the foot of the wall, sighed at the same time and shook their heads as they looked at Murong Yanhui's back.

As soon as Murong Yanhui came out of Ju'an Hall, Xiao Liuzi came to greet her from outside.

"How?" Murong Yanhui asked in a deep voice.

"As expected, the Queen punished the princess. However, as the master expected, the princess insisted that she had intended to throw the tirade against Miss Qu. Upon hearing this, the Queen suppressed the matter and simply ordered the 'Earth Dragon Gang' to take the blame. The matter was then dropped without alerting His Majesty."

Murong Yanhui nodded upon hearing this.

Xiao Liuzi glanced at Murong Yan secretly and asked, "Master, are you going to let them go just like that?"

Murong Yanhui sighed, "Lili rescued Murong Yuan. I don't want to make a big deal out of this and implicate her. Besides, although Yu Zhenzhen is of high status, Linlang was with her at the time. If the people from the Earth Dragon Gang insist on throwing her, it won't be good for her if this gets out of hand."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Liuzi lowered his head and said nothing more.

Murong Yanhui was silent for a moment, then instructed, "Keep a closer eye on Yu Zhenzhen recently."

Xiao Liuzi immediately bowed, then watched Murong Yanhui leave before turning around and running into Ju'an Hall.

"Xi Luo, what's going on? Why does the master look so bad?" Xiao Liuzi asked as soon as he saw Xi Luo.

Xiluo quickly covered Xiao Liuzi's mouth and dragged him to the foot of the wall. Murong Yue looked at Xiao Liuzi and said seriously, "The most important thing for a servant is to be able to read people's expressions. I don't know how you managed to survive to this day with such a carefree attitude."

Xiao Liuzi widened his eyes and when he saw Murong Yue pointing inside the window, he immediately nodded in understanding.
