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

Chapter 252 Return of the property to its original owner

Thinking of this, Murong Feng looked at Yu Qingli with a little more approval. It seemed that Yu Qingli was quite sensible, especially the intelligence in her eyes, which was really incomparable to other women.

Yu Qingli offered tea to the queen and said some polite words before leaving the palace with Murong Feng.

The weather today was a bit gloomy. A cool breeze blew through the corridor, and petals fell in all directions. Murong Feng and Yu Qingli walked back, one on the left and one on the right, in silence all the way.

"Qingli, you have been wronged today."

Murong Feng suddenly spoke, his expression very serious.

Yu Qingli looked up, "What's wrong?"

"That golden hairpin was originally given to you by the Empress Dowager, but now..."

Yu Qingli smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, don't worry about it. It's just some personal belongings. Besides, I really don't think that hairpin is suitable for me. If that's the case, why not let it play its intended role?"

"You're pretty open-minded."

Yu Qingli just smiled without saying anything. How could she tell Murong Feng that this was just a temporary measure? Anyway, the golden hairpin would be back in her hands sooner or later. Things belonging to her, Yu Qingli, were not so easy to take.

Even if I'm just lending it to the Queen to wear first, there's nothing to be reluctant about.

In the Chaofeng Palace, the Queen liked the hairpin more and more as she looked at herself in the mirror. The gorgeous and smooth lines and the exquisite and beautiful workmanship made it a true treasure. She even thought of wearing the hairpin and showing it off everywhere.

Thinking of this, the Queen stood up from the bronze mirror and turned to ask, "Do you know where His Majesty is now?"

Nanny Li looked at the sky outside and said, "At this time, His Majesty should have just left the court and is probably heading to the Imperial Study."

Queen Li didn't think so. She knew Murong Shiling and was afraid that he would not have the mind to go directly to the imperial study today.

After a brief thought, Empress Li ordered, "Madame Li, let's go to Qianli Palace."

"Are you going to see the koi fish, Madam?"

Queen Li did not say anything. Although she was unwilling to admit it, she knew very well in her heart that the mysterious Yu Liuli who appeared that day had occupied Murong Shileng's heart, so much so that these days, Murong Shileng often went to Qianli Palace where Yu Liuli once lived, as if only by staying there could he feel at peace.

Queen Li walked towards Qianli Palace with several palace maids and followers. As expected, from a distance, she saw Murong Shiling standing alone by the carp pond with a dazed look on his face. Although he had tried hard to restrain himself, Yu Qingli's figure and face kept appearing in his mind.

Murong Shiling knew that this situation was really weird, even a little abnormal, but he really couldn't control his emotions.

After Yu Qingli entered the palace, Murong Shileng found that this idea of his became stronger and stronger. He even had to try hard to restrain himself from thinking about the woman who had become his daughter-in-law.

This is ridiculous. The whole world belongs to him, so why does he have to be so cautious when wanting a woman?

Seeing the pain on Murong Shiling's face, Queen Li felt a little jealous. She wondered who Murong Shiling was thinking about at this moment, but she was afraid it wouldn't be her.

Queen Li ordered Nanny Li and the others to wait outside the palace, while she walked towards Murong Shiling alone.

Murong Shiling heard footsteps behind him and couldn't help feeling unhappy. "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I just thought of coming here to watch the carp because the weather was a bit gloomy today. I didn't expect Your Majesty to be here too."

Murong Shiling frowned, turned his head and saw the dazzling nine-phoenix golden hairpin on the queen's head. He was stunned for a moment.

"How come this golden hairpin is here with you?"

The Queen smiled, but did not answer Murong Shiling's question. She simply looked at him lovingly, "Your Majesty, what do you think? Do I look good with this golden hairpin?"

Murong Shiling's face was expressionless. He knew that this must have been a gift from the Empress Dowager. But why would the Empress Dowager give this golden hairpin specially made for her by the late Emperor to someone else for no reason? It was really strange.

"Why did the Queen Mother give you this golden hairpin?"

Murong Shiling suddenly asked in a cold voice, his face looking a little unhappy. He remembered that this golden hairpin was a very precious thing of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had asked for it before, but did not get it. Therefore, the Queen Mother had no reason to give this golden hairpin to the Queen now.

Seeing the emperor's unfriendly expression, Empress Li also suppressed her smile and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so boring now? I didn't steal or rob you, did I?"

"I just find it strange. Could it be that you did something to the Queen Mother that made her give you such a precious gift?"

"emperor……"

Queen Li was a little angry and embarrassed. She wanted to let the emperor see her beauty, but she didn't expect Murong Shiling to ask all kinds of irrelevant questions.

Murong Shiling glanced at her coldly, "What's the matter? Is there really a problem? Otherwise, why is the Queen so hesitant?"

"Your Majesty! Although this golden hairpin was not given to me by the Queen Mother, it was obtained in a legitimate way."

"In that case, there is nothing the Queen cannot say."

Empress Li was also furious and blurted out, "This was given to me by the prince's wife. Your Majesty, do you think this is fair and aboveboard?"

"The prince's consort? Yu Qingli?!"

Queen Li stopped talking. She had hoped to impress Murong Shiling with the Nine Phoenix Golden Hairpin, but she didn't expect that he only cared about the origin of the thing and ignored her special dressing today.

Murong Shileng was obviously surprised to hear Yu Qingli's name. So, this golden hairpin was given to Yu Qingli by the Queen Mother?

For some reason, Murong Shiling couldn't help but smile. "I see. It seems that the eldest prince's consort is truly popular. Even the empress dowager loves her so much that she gave her such a precious gift."

Looking at Murong Shiling's expression, Empress Li was filled with indignation. Yu Qingli! Yu Qingli! If she hadn't already been married to Feng'er, if she hadn't been so well behaved, she would have wanted to tear this woman into pieces!

Murong Shiling glanced at the golden hairpin on Empress Li's head again. "Since it was a gift from the Empress Dowager, why did you take it away? Besides, does this mean that I have treated you unfairly? I didn't even give you a better hairpin?"

Queen Li was speechless, "I didn't mean that!"

Murong Shiling snorted coldly and never looked at Queen Li again. He only cast his gaze on the thousand carp pond, as if the carp in the pond were much more beautiful than the queen beside him.

Queen Li was so angry that her face was distorted, "Your Majesty..."

"I have something else to do. If the Queen finds this carp beautiful, please stay and look at it for a while. I will be leaving now."

Murong Shiling quickly turned around and left without stopping for a moment, without paying any attention to Queen Li's face behind him, which was almost mad with anger.

The koi in the Thousand Carp Pond are still swimming happily, and the outside world seems to have no effect on them.

Queen Li angrily threw the fish food at hand into the fish pond, causing the koi to jump.

"Yu Qingli!" Queen Li said the name with gritted teeth. This time, she really hated this woman, no matter whether she had married her son or not.

The weather was getting increasingly gloomy, just like Queen Li's mood at the moment. She walked out of the Qianli Palace with an angry look on her face. Seeing this, Nanny Li hurriedly followed her, not daring to ask a single question. The Queen was currently furious, and anyone who provoked her would surely be in trouble.

"Go back to the palace!"

Queen Li walked in a hurry. She didn't want to stay for a moment, especially staying in such a place, which would only make her more angry. When she thought of Murong Shiling's previous attitude towards her, Queen Li was furious.

When she returned to Chaofeng Palace, it was already noon. The palace maids from the imperial kitchen had already been waiting in the palace, asking the queen what she wanted to eat for lunch.

Empress Li scolded, "Get out of here! I don't want to eat anything today!"

The palace maids looked at each other, but no one dared to speak. They just bowed respectfully and retreated.

Queen Li sat back in front of the bronze mirror. The dignified face in the mirror was now distorted, and the dazzling gold hairpin on her head seemed to have lost its luster in her eyes.

Suddenly, Queen Li discovered something incredible: the originally gorgeous and dazzling Nine Phoenix Golden Hairpin was slowly turning black.

Queen Li stood up in surprise and reached out to take the golden hairpin off her head. What happened?

At first, Queen Li thought that she was dazzled by anger, but suddenly she found that it was not the case, because the golden hairpin in her hand was becoming dull and dull little by little, and there was not even a trace of gold on the surface of the entire hairpin.

"Miss!"

Nanny Li couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Queen Li and the nanny looked at each other, and it seemed that it was not just her illusion.

"Madame Li, what on earth is going on?"

Nanny Li thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I think this might be the Queen Mother..."

Nanny Li didn't continue speaking, but it was obvious that the Queen had understood what she meant. It made sense that no matter how much the Queen Mother liked Yu Qingli, she would never give her such a valuable thing, unless there was something wrong with the thing itself.

Now it seems that maybe it was a trick of the Queen Mother from the beginning. It was just by accident that the hairpin fell into her hands. Queen Li was extremely nervous at this time. The hairpin turned black after she wore it for just a while. She wondered if it was poisonous?

"Madame Li, hurry, go call the imperial physician! Tell him I'm feeling unwell and have him come quickly!"

"Yes!"

Nanny Li was also very nervous, and Queen Li did not dare to touch the hairpin again. She only asked the palace maid to wrap it with a handkerchief and put it back into the brocade box.

"Come here! Send this golden hairpin to Ju'an Palace! Tell the princess that since this was a gift from the empress dowager, it's better for her to keep it. I will never take away what is good for someone else."

The palace maids gave the golden hairpin away as instructed, and Queen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
