Chapter 188 1st sentence
Although Yu Qingli was a little disappointed that Murong Yanhui didn't come back, she didn't care too much. The current situation in Luoyang City was urgent. It seemed that she had better talk to Liu Ming in person. If she wanted to save the prince, it seemed that she could only start with Liu Ming.
He ordered the carriage to go directly to the Liu family's newly built villa in Luoyang City.
Entering the courtyard, the pavilions, towers, rockery and trees are all exquisite, elegant and beautiful. Even the royal villas are probably not as gorgeous as this.
The maids and servants in the mansion are all beautiful and smart. It seems that Liu Ming is a picky person.
Arriving at the front hall, Liu Ming was wearing a royal blue gown and sitting in the hall very elegantly. He did not stand up when he saw Yu Qingli come in.
Yu Qingli didn't hesitate to be polite and sat down opposite Liu Ming very naturally. She said, "I hope you are well, Manager Liu."
"Tofu, everything is fine. I am truly flattered to have Miss Yu visit me today."
"Shopkeeper Liu, I won't say any more unnecessary words. I came to you today just to ask you, do you want to live or die?!"
Yu Qingli's expression was solemn and stern, with a pair of sharp eyes flashing with cold light, which made people feel a chill. She didn't look like a threat, but just stating the facts, but it made people feel fear for no reason.
"What do you mean, Miss Yu?!"
"What Shopkeeper Liu did in Luoyang has now reached the Heavenly Court. Even though you claim to be the Crown Prince's future brother-in-law, do you think that in this world, if His Majesty wants to kill you, the Crown Prince can protect your life?!"
Liu Ming was stunned. "What do you mean, Miss?"
"What I'm saying is, you've gone too far this time. It's true that merchants value profit, but they also need to understand the situation clearly. Since you want the prince to be your backer, you shouldn't overthrow him!"
Liu Ming's face darkened. "I know my limits. I don't need a yellow-haired girl like you to lecture me."
Yu Qingli sneered, "Is that so? In my opinion, you haven't seen as far as a little girl like me. You know, His Majesty has already sent the eldest prince to Luoyang to deal with this matter. Among the factions in the court, the eldest prince's party and the crown prince's party have always been at odds. This matter could be big or small, but it just happened to fall into the hands of the eldest prince. Do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can protect himself?!"
"This……"
Yu Qingli continued sternly, "You only care about your own interests, but haven't you ever considered how much these immediate gains will cost you in the future? Furthermore, the price you'll have to pay is beyond your estimation. Do you think the Crown Prince will let you go after something like this? Not to mention that you and Liu Jinghong are only cousins. Even if he were your biological brother, I'm afraid you'd die protecting the Crown Prince!"
Liu Ming was sweating profusely after hearing what Yu Qingli said, and even his hands were shaking, but he soon calmed down again, "Don't try to scare me. I know Miss Yu is just trying to get a piece of the pie from me."
Yu Qingli said frankly, "I do want to get a piece of the pie from you, but not for myself. Do you know the power behind me? Now I have been betrothed to the eldest prince. Besides, you should know who are the people in my mother Li's family? Only if we all get involved can the prince's life be saved, and you, too!"
"Why are you helping me?!"
Yu Qingli sneered, "Help you?! The one I want to help is only myself! I'll give you a day to think about it. If you agree, send someone to wait for me at Nishangfang! Otherwise..."
Yu Qingli did not continue talking, nor did she stay any longer. She believed that Liu Ming would definitely make the right choice. What happened before was just because he was too greedy, but now things were obviously getting out of control. At this time, he had no choice!
This pool of water will soon become muddy!
The weather was getting colder, the autumn wind was bleak, and the flowers and plants in the yard were already showing signs of withering. Only the few pots of chrysanthemums in the garden were growing well, and many had even begun to reveal some buds, waiting to bloom proudly.
Yu Qingli sat in front of the window, flipping through the medical book in her hand from time to time. These days, it seemed that only this could calm her down.
After thinking it over carefully, Yu Qingli realized how naive she was. What was she so concerned about? What was she so sad about? From the moment her mother died, she should have already abandoned Yu Zhengsha, right?
Whether it's Yu Zhengsha or Murong Feng, these people are just the objects of her revenge. Even though her heart has been broken into pieces for a long time, she will never continue to be hurt by the actions of these people.
However, when she found out that Yu Zhengsha had another wife and daughter in the capital, she still felt so sad. It was really ridiculous!
From today on, Yu Qingli should no longer have a father!
These days, Murong Feng went out early and came back late, so he rarely met Yu Qingli, and even rarely saw Mei Hong. Instead, he heard Yinhuan complain a few times that Mei Hong had lost the shoe patterns she was going to embroider because of the eldest prince's matter.
Yu Qingli sneered in her heart. These days were probably the most comfortable days for Mei Hong and Murong Feng. It was also good this way. The more sweetness they got, the more bitterness would penetrate into their bones in the future.
"Miss, what would you like to eat for lunch today?" Yinhuan came in from outside and saw Yu Qingli sitting in front of the window in a daze.
Yu Qingli raised her head and glanced at him calmly, "Whatever, just don't make it too greasy."
Yinhuan frowned, "Miss, please allow me to be so nosy. Is there something on your mind?"
"How do you know?!"
"My lady seems a little depressed today. If you feel uncomfortable staying at home, why don't I accompany you to walk around the street? Maybe you will feel better."
Looking at Yinhuan's concerned eyes, Yu Qingli was stunned for a moment, and then she found it funny. Such conversations mostly happened between her and Meihong before. Now that the maid was replaced, the words she said were exactly the same.
I just wonder if this silver ring will become the second Mei Hong?!
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli couldn't help but ask, "Yinhuan, what do you think of the eldest prince?"
Yinhuan lowered her eyes, "I dare not speak nonsense."
"We're just talking privately. You don't have to worry too much. Feel free to tell me what you have to say."
Yinhuan looked at Yu Qingli seriously and said sternly, "Miss, although your engagement with the eldest prince is a done deal, I feel that the eldest prince..."
Yinhuan paused, and finally, as if mustering up the courage, she said, "This servant feels that the eldest prince is not worthy of my lady!"
Yu Qingli was stunned for a moment, her eyes shining like glass, and then she smiled, "Why do you have such an idea?"
Yinhuan knelt down with a thud. "Miss, please calm down. I have no intention of provoking others. I am only speaking the truth. The eldest prince appears gentle and polite, but I always find his smile terrifying, as if he is always harboring a conspiracy. My mother once told me that appearance reflects the heart. The eldest prince has a pair of cruel eyes...Miss, you must be careful in the future!"
After Yinhuan finished speaking, she was already sweating profusely, waiting for Yu Qingli's punishment. She didn't want to say these things, but after spending these days together, she felt that Yu Qingli was a good master, and she didn't want her good master to be bullied, so she wanted to remind her. However, it is punishable by death to make irresponsible remarks about the good or bad of masters.
Yu Qingli stared at the silver ring and her smile faded. It seemed that there were many hidden talents in this mansion. If she had not discovered the silver ring by accident, how could she have discovered that there was such a good judge of people among this maid.
Her words really hit the nail on the head! Being able to see the cruelty behind Murong Feng's gentleness, this silver ring had really been buried before.
Yinhuan lowered her head and was unwilling to raise it for a long time. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead, and even her legs began to feel numb.
Yu Qingli sighed deeply, stepped forward and stretched out her hand to help Yinhuan up, "Yinhuan, although honest advice may be unpleasant to the ear, you must never say such things again in the future!"
Yinhuan felt like she had been saved and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, Miss. Yinhuan understands."
"That's good!" Yu Qingli smiled again. It seemed that this time, she had really picked up a good maid. "Yinhuan, are you willing to be my dowry maid?"
"Miss?!" Yinhuan looked up in surprise, with a hint of joy in her eyes, "Can this be done by a servant?"
Yu Qingli held Yinhuan's hand and said, "Of course you can!"
Yinhuan felt indescribably moved and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, Yinhuan is willing to follow you and serve you for the rest of my life."
Yu Qingli burst out laughing, "I don't dare ask you to accompany me for the rest of your life. When you find someone you like in the future, just tell me and I will definitely help you find a good home."
Yin Huan's face flushed, "Miss..."
Yu Qingli smiled secretly, losing one person and gaining another, so she didn’t suffer too much!
In the Tianzi A room of Rongsheng Inn, the air was filled with lingering incense, but it could not cover up the smell of lust in the room. Robes were scattered all over the floor, and on the big bed, a man and a woman were embracing each other. Their snow-white bodies hugging each other and their ambiguous moans were so vague that the sun blushed with shyness and disappeared into the clouds.
These two people are Murong Feng and Mei Hong.
After a period of cloud and rain,
Mei Hong's eyes were as charming as silk, with a satisfied smile in them. Her soft and boneless hands stretched out from Murong Feng's arms, tightly hugging the man's strong body, and her fingers circled around him.
After indulging himself, Murong Feng's voice was a little hoarse, and he grabbed Mei Hong's hand, "You devil, haven't you had enough yet?"
Mei Hong smiled lightly and nodded slowly, "Your Highness's grace, how can this servant ever ask for enough?"
"How greedy..."
Although his tone was reprimanding, his hand once again covered the softness of Meihong's chest, causing her to gasp softly, "Your Highness..."
