Chapter 171: Continue to Escape
Murong Yanhui happily watched Yu Qingli's expression change in his arms, and continued: "Actually, Lili, just tell me where you want to go. I will definitely take you there. Look at you, it's so dangerous."
Yu Qingli looked at Murong Yanhui who was chattering incessantly, and saw the undisguised smile in his eyes, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
If I hadn't been scared by him, how could I have almost fallen into the pit? And he was so good, taking advantage of me and blaming me like this!
Murong Yanhui accepted the two white eyes given to her by Yu Qingli with satisfaction, and smiled with her teeth showing but her eyes not.
The people not far away looked at the two people on the wall, each with a different expression.
After a long silence, Murong Cheng said in a deep voice, "Now that you've finished using the toilet, let's get going. It's not good to keep Prince Tang Yi waiting."
"He can wait or not. If not, get out!" Murong Yanhui's sweet moment was interrupted by Murong Cheng, and she couldn't help but answer viciously.
Yu Qingli struggled and jumped down, saying, "Let's go."
Murong Yanhui had no choice but to follow him down obediently.
Seeing that everyone was present, Murong Feng got on the carriage again and slowly moved forward again according to the original formation.
Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli, who was huddled in a corner of the carriage. Thinking she was still angry about what had just happened, she said softly, "Alright, alright, Lili, I apologize. I shouldn't have scared you."
Yu Qingli snorted coldly, lifted the curtain and looked outside. Suddenly, a pancake shop came into view. Yu Qingli had an idea and said, "I want to eat pancakes. Go down and buy them for me. I want freshly baked ones, not cold ones."
Murong Yanhui nodded and jumped off the carriage.
Yu Qingli patiently counted for ten seconds before ordering the carriage to slow down. She then quickly climbed off the carriage and ran away.
Yu Qingli lowered her head and didn't notice that there was a person running towards her in front. With a "bang", Yu Qingli crashed into the man's arms.
"Ouch." Yu Qingli cried out in pain, but heard a familiar voice above her head asking: "Lili, are you so anxious to eat the bread? Come on, eat it quickly, it's still hot."
As he said that, he stuffed a pancake into Yu Qingli's mouth. Yu Qingli bit off a piece viciously and glared at Murong Yanhui fiercely, gnashing her teeth with every bite.
Murong Yanhui seemed completely oblivious, and only asked with a grin, "Is this pancake really that delicious?" He reached out and took the pancake that Yu Qingli had bitten, biting into it along the mark Yu Qingli had left, and then said intoxicatedly, "It's indeed delicious."
Shameless! Yu Qingli cursed in her heart, "I don't want to eat bread anymore." With that, she climbed back into the carriage in shame.
Fight with me? Lili, you are still a little naive! Murong Yan looked back at Yu Qingli's back and smiled charmingly.
As the carriage moved forward, Murong Yanhui chattered endlessly about the scenic spots along the way, and soon the group arrived in front of a mountain temple.
"This mountain is called Luofu Mountain. On the mountain stands a temple that is said to have existed since the beginning of time. It's called Yuezhao Temple." Murong Yanhui asked cheerfully, "Lili, do you know what the most famous thing about Yuezhao Temple is?"
Yu Qingli answered without thinking, "The moon!"
Murong Yanhui praised her generously, "As expected of my Lili, she is intelligent, clever, and gifted with talent!"
Yu Qingli felt a little embarrassed by such direct praise. She turned her head away pretending to be indifferent, but her ears were a little red. This man!
Murong Yanhui's voice continued to introduce the temple. "Besides the best moonlight, Yuezhao Temple is also very effective in praying for children. Many women in the imperial capital who have been childless for years come here to pray. However, there is a special requirement for praying for a child: the couple must stay in the temple for one night."
Yu Qingli was also a little curious when she heard this, and couldn't help but stretch her head to look, only to see that Murong Feng and others had already got off the carriage. It seemed that Tang Yi was very interested in Yuezhao Temple.
But on second thought, it made sense. Dong Tang believed in Buddhism, so when seeing a temple, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dong Tang would definitely pay a visit. However, it was already late, and I didn't know how long they would continue playing.
Yu Qingli looked at the setting sun with melancholy, feeling anxious, afraid that she would miss the so-called family dinner at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Murong Yanhui, however, misinterpreted Yu Qingli's depression as something else, thinking that she was in a bad mood because she couldn't sneak away. However, he was in a very good mood. As long as he could keep Yu Qingli by his side, he was in a good mood.
Murong Yanhui happily pulled Yu Qingli to follow Murong Feng and others. As expected, Tang Yi was interested in this Buddhist temple, so the group had to accompany him into the temple.
The temple was bustling with activity, with many couples coming in pairs to sincerely pray for children. The abbot saw that Murong Feng and the others had extraordinary temperaments, and saw the jade pendant hanging around Murong Feng's waist, and he immediately guessed their identities, and immediately brought out several strong bodyguards to greet them.
"Amitabha, there was an auspicious sign from heaven this morning, so I knew that a distinguished guest would be arriving today." The host bowed slightly to Murong Feng.
Murong Feng also returned the greeting lightly, "But I'm just passing by, host, no need to be polite."
"Since you are here, it means we are destined to meet. Dear guests, please follow me into the Zen room in the backyard." The host said as he stepped aside. Murong Feng glanced at Tang Yi and saw him nod, so he followed him.
Yu Qingli was walking at the end, and Murong Yanhui followed closely beside her. Seeing that she could not run away again, Yu Qingli could only sigh in her heart.
The Zen room is quiet, filled with the scent of sandalwood, the cushion is clean and soft, and there is a painting hanging on the wall, which makes the entire Zen room seem even more otherworldly.
The host made tea for everyone and started chatting. Tang Yi seemed to be really interested in Buddhism, and the conversation lasted until sunset.
During this period, Yu Qingli also tried to escape, but with the lessons learned from the previous two times, Murong Yanhui followed her like a shadow, and Yu Qingli ultimately failed to escape.
Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, Yu Qingli was getting more and more anxious, but suddenly she heard Murong Feng say: "...In that case, I will bother the abbot tonight."
"Amitabha." The old abbot chanted the Buddha's name and immediately ordered the young monk to prepare a room in the back mountain.
Yu Qingli had a bitter face, thinking about the time, thinking that she should urge them to finish their meal and go to bed quickly, and then wait for herself to have a room so that she could take the opportunity to escape!
Thinking of this, Yu Qingli finally perked up a little. She served the dishes and poured the wine very attentively, then hurried back to her room.
Murong Cheng looked at Yu Qingli's unusual behavior, glanced at Murong Yan, and asked, "You don't live with her?"
Murong Yan replied with a "hehe" smile, "Stop, of course, I'll go right away."
After Murong Yanhui finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the wing room. Tang Yi glanced at Murong Yanhui, pondered for a moment, stood up, said hello to Murong Feng and Murong Cheng, and returned to his own wing room.
Murong Feng and Murong Cheng continued to sit opposite each other. Murong Feng smiled as if bathed in spring breeze and said, "Such a romantic atmosphere, these people really let them down."
Murong Cheng had a cold expression on his face. He drank a glass of wine by himself but still didn't speak. This place made him inexplicably uncomfortable.
Murong Yanhui followed Yu Qingli to the doorway, then suddenly leaped and hung upside down from the beam, burying himself in the darkness. The moonlight was faint, illuminating the ground with a clear glow. The evening was quiet, as if the universe had just begun to open. There was not a single sound. In this profound silence, there was a sudden "creak," and then a door slowly opened.
Yu Qingli stretched her head and looked around, then tiptoed to close the door and slipped out quietly.
Murong Yanhui smiled slightly, thinking, this girl is really going to great lengths to get rid of me. He thought to himself, and spun around and followed Yu Qingli lightly.
Yu Qingli ran aimlessly for a while and suddenly found herself lost in a small garden.
She looked at the rugged rocks around her in surprise, and suddenly remembered the abbot's instructions not to walk around at night. She couldn't help but frowned. It turned out that someone had set up a trap in this small garden. Now, she had lost more than she gained and trapped herself here.
Yu Qingli was annoyed, but unwillingly climbed up a slightly higher rock to see what kind of formation this was and whether there were any loopholes.
Suddenly, a huge leaf fluttered down from overhead and landed right in Yu Qingli's hand. Yu Qingli was about to throw it away when she saw a line of words on the leaf: "Eternal night, basking in the moonlight, a date with a beauty, these are the joys of life!"
Yu Qingli took a deep breath and when she looked up, she met a pair of eyes that sparkled like colorful gems.
Murong Yan comes back!
Yu Qingli's heart skipped a beat. She had thought she had done it without anyone noticing, but was suddenly hit back by Murong Yan. Her mind went blank.
She screamed "Ah" and jumped off the rocks and ran away without thinking.
She dodged to the east and heard Murong Yan ask, "Lili, are you losing sleep because you didn't see me?"
She dodged to the west and heard Murong Yan reply, "Lili, I really will suffer from insomnia without you by my side."
For a moment, Yu Qingli was like a rabbit being chased by wolves. She had lost her direction and backbone. She ran around aimlessly, and suddenly saw a road in the darkness ahead. She went in without thinking.
After running around along the dark passage, Yu Qingli was wondering why she seemed to have run into a room. Suddenly, two hands stretched out from the darkness, one covered Yu Qingli's mouth, and the other hugged Yu Qingli's waist. The hand tightened slightly, and Yu Qingli's slender body immediately fell into a hot embrace.
The heat passed through Yu Qingli's skin and reached her back. Yu Qingli clearly felt that the other person was a naked man!
What's going on?! What's going on?!
Yu Qingli was stunned. At this moment, the man behind her suddenly put his lips close to Yu Qingli's ear and said softly and hoarsely, "If you want to have a child, don't speak."
Yu Qingli suddenly understood a little bit. She nodded, and when she heard the man's gentle smile, she loosened her hand covering her mouth and said, "Come on, hurry up, or it will be too late."
Yu Qingli was about to run away, but the man grabbed her right hand and pulled her hard, causing her to fall heavily onto the bed.
