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

Chapter 175 Let’s Compromise for Now

Murong Feng looked at the two people in the yard, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, the rumors are true, and now I have caught them red-handed.

Moreover, Murong Feng did not believe that Murong Cheng's recent tactics were thought up by Murong Cheng alone. Now, after hearing what Liu Jinghong explained to Murong Cheng, Murong Feng became more and more certain that Liu Jinghong must be the one who gave Murong Cheng advice.

Murong Feng thought about his miserable situation a while ago, and hatred grew in his heart. Suddenly, he had an idea. Since Murong Cheng was asking for death, why not use this as a bargaining chip to regain the position of crown prince?

Thinking of this, Murong Feng slowly walked out from the shadows at the stairs. He held onto the stairs and coughed lightly.

The two people in the yard were caught off guard and were both startled. They both looked up and looked in the direction of the sound.

When Murong Cheng saw Murong Feng standing at the top of the building, his face changed immediately. Murong Feng looked at Murong Cheng's timid expression with satisfaction and slowly walked down the stairs.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is so elegant. It's such a long night, and you have a beautiful woman to accompany you through the night." Murong Feng's eyes swept across Liu Jinghong and fell on Murong Cheng. The mockery in his eyes was self-evident.

Murong Cheng's face darkened, "Royal brother, are you following me?!"

Murong Feng's smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, but to Murong Cheng, it seemed cold and sinister. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly a jokester. I, your Royal Brother, was just strolling around to see the scenery of Jinghong Music House. I didn't expect that I would miss this scenery and actually..."

Murong Feng hesitated to speak, then shouted at Liu Jinghong, "How dare a mere woman of unknown origin dream of soaring to fame? How dare you use your seductive skills to seduce the Crown Prince? You deserve to die!"

Liu Jinghong's face suddenly turned pale.

Murong Cheng frowned, tightly holding Liu Jinghong's hand, and looked at the newcomer with a stern gaze, "Why should my Royal Highness interfere in my affairs?!"

"Your Majesty, I'm not allowed to ask about this, but what about Father? If Father knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was secretly associating with a dancer, what kind of expression would he have?" Murong Feng looked at Murong Cheng with a smile, and added, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince must know Father's temper best. Execution of the entire clan? Lingchi? Or even dismemberment by five horses? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, if such a beautiful woman really died like that, it would be truly tragic."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jinghong staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Murong Cheng supported Liu Jinghong and said coldly, "Brother, why do you have to scare Jinghong like this?"

"Your Highness, you know best whether I'm trying to scare you or not." Murong Feng said with a smile, "However, this matter is not beyond discussion. After all, you and I are brothers. It's rare to see a brother find a woman he likes, and I won't do something so tactless as to break up a couple."

Murong Cheng saw that there was still hope, so he hurriedly asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Murong Feng smiled and said, "There are only three of us now. If Your Highness the Crown Prince can meet my conditions, I can swear to heaven that I will not tell anyone about what I saw tonight. How about that?"

Murong Cheng hesitated. He knew Murong Feng's ambition. He had gone to great lengths to pull Murong Feng down from the throne of crown prince. Now that he hadn't even firmly established himself on the throne, he was naturally afraid that Murong Feng would harm him.

Seeing Murong Cheng's hesitant face, Murong Feng couldn't help but look at Liu Jinghong, "Miss Liu, it seems that the person you are entrusting is not your good man."

Murong Feng was about to stand up as he spoke, but Liu Jinghong hurriedly tugged at Murong Cheng's sleeve and looked at him with pleading eyes. If this matter were to be made public, the first person to suffer would definitely be the prince. Besides, she couldn't let her sister Liu Manwu be implicated because of this matter.

The beauty is about to cry, her face is wet with rain.

Murong Cheng's heart moved, but he felt a little unwilling, but he could only say helplessly: "What do you want?!"

Murong Cheng felt a little regretful as soon as he said this, but when he saw Liu Jinghong's tearful and smiling face beside him, he suddenly felt a sense of righteousness.

Murong Cheng knew in his heart that it was only the position of Crown Prince that was at stake. He knew Murong Feng's intentions very well. If he was really deprived of it because of this matter, he would be relieved. So he said resolutely, "Murong Feng, tell me what you want. As long as I can do it and you promise not to tell anyone about what happened tonight, I can agree to it."

Murong Feng turned around and looked at Murong Cheng, and asked, "Your Highness, you and I are both men..."

Murong Cheng immediately said, "Don't worry, I can't take back my words once they're spoken!"

Seeing this, Murong Feng said with some concern: "Miss Liu, you have to be a witness."

Liu Jinghong nodded immediately.

Murong Feng then slowly walked up to Murong Cheng and whispered a few words into his ear.

Murong Cheng's expression changed slightly. He looked up at Murong Feng and murmured, unable to utter a word.

Murong Feng looked at Murong Cheng's face with satisfaction and said with a smile, "I will always pay attention to whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sincere or not."

Murong Feng finished speaking, nodded slightly to Liu Jinghong, and then returned to the stairs. When he reached the stairs, he suddenly turned his head to look at Murong Cheng who was still standing in the courtyard and said, "Your Highness, let me remind you a few words. You and I have been out for a long time. Be careful not to be discovered by the King of Yan."

Murong Cheng's heart pounded, and when he raised his head to look at Murong Feng again, his eyes were already bloodshot and red.

Liu Jinghong worriedly hugged Murong Cheng's arm. Murong Cheng looked down at the beauty beside him and thought, now that things have come to this, there is no turning back for him.

Murong Cheng sighed in his heart, patted Liu Jinghong's hand, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you."

Liu Jinghong kept shaking his head, "I don't want you to protect me, I just want you to be well, well..."

As Liu Jinghong spoke, she threw herself into Murong Cheng's arms. Murong Cheng was hugging Liu Jinghong at this moment, but he no longer had the romantic thoughts he had just had. He only felt as if a weight was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Jinghong, don't cry. Don't worry, everything will be fine. Everything will be fine." Murong Cheng murmured to himself, not knowing whether he was comforting Liu Jinghong or comforting himself.

In the box, Murong Yanhui was eating his seventh piece of cake, and then he saw Murong Feng from next door had come back first. Although he couldn't see clearly through the lattice window, Murong Yanhui still clearly saw the smile that could not be hidden at the corner of Murong Feng's lips.

Murong Yanhui frowned slightly and thought, why is Murong Feng smiling like this after coming back from a trip out? Did he pick up gold?

Murong Yanhui was just thinking about it when Murong Cheng came back from the other side. However, Murong Yanhui heard his heavy footsteps first and then saw his figure. Compared with the high-spirited look when he came, Murong Cheng now looked haggard and anxious, as if stubble had grown on his smooth chin in an instant, and he looked much more tired.

Murong Yan felt even more puzzled this time. How come after going out, one of these two people came back with a sad face and the other with a happy face?

Murong Yanhui felt itchy in his heart, thinking that he must have missed something, but when his eyes swept over Yu Qingli beside him, his restless heart suddenly calmed down.

He cursed himself inwardly for being useless. How could he forget his original intention and the danger Yu Qingli had just experienced after being disturbed by Murong Feng and Murong Cheng?

Murong Yanhui sat quietly and ate the eighth piece of cake.

Yu Qingli was not a fool, so she naturally noticed Murong Yanhui's eagerness just now. When she was still wondering whether Murong Yanhui would leave, she saw that he had become quiet, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After a while, a servant went from Murong Cheng's box to Murong Feng's box, and then knocked on the door of Murong Yanhui's box.

Murong Yan said without even turning around, "Come in."

The servant pushed open the door, but stood respectfully at the doorway and whispered, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is unwell and has returned home first. Please, Your Highness, take Crown Prince Tang Yi back."

Murong Yanhui snorted coldly and thought, Murong Cheng's face is so dark, he has to go back even if he doesn't want to. Is he going to accompany Tang Yi with such a dark face?

"Got it." Murong Yan waved back, and the servant immediately closed the door tactfully.

After a while, Murong Yanhui saw Murong Feng next door also got up, and then another servant came and knocked on the door, telling Murong Yanhui that Murong Feng had to take care of the prince and left first.

Murong Yanhui frowned, thinking that something must have happened tonight. He was very curious and wondered how Murong Feng and Murong Cheng, two rivals, could suddenly come together.

A faint unease welled up in his heart. Murong Cheng looked so off-key, as if Murong Feng had caught him in some kind of sleight of hand?! His eyes narrowed slightly, like a thousand-year-old fox that saw through the world. Something?! So that's it!

But he really wanted to confirm it with his own eyes. However, every time Murong Yanhui was about to make a move, he would think of the scene in Yuezhao Temple and Yu Qingli crying helplessly. His heart would ache uncontrollably and he would no longer be in the mood to care about what tricks Murong Feng and Murong Cheng were playing.

Yu Qingli watched the singing and dancing downstairs, but she was extremely anxious. After wasting hour after hour, she really doubted that she would not be able to see Yu Zhengsha and Yu Zhenzhen even if she went to "Chunfeng Tower".

Decided not to wait any longer!

Yu Qingli waited for the servant to leave, then suddenly stood up and said, "I'm hungry. I want to go eat."

Before Murong Yanhui could say anything, there was another knock on the door. Murong Yanhui angrily shouted, "Are you done yet? Get out if you want!"

As soon as Murong Yan finished her reply, the door of the private room was pushed open. Tang Yi, wearing a mask, appeared in front of the two people and asked, "You said you wanted to go eat?"

"What's it to you whether I go or not?" Murong Yan replied unhappily.

Tang Yi, however, acted completely oblivious and said, "Where do we want to eat? I heard that the most famous restaurant in the Imperial Capital is 'Qionglou'. Why don't we try there?"

Yu Qingli was anxious and called out his name, "No, Murong Yanhui, I want to go to Chunfeng Tower!"
