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

Chapter 160 Escape

Everything in the palace fell into silence again, but how many unknown conspiracies and filth were hidden behind this tranquility, which was unknown.

However, Yu Qingli was very clear about it, as she had experienced it well in her previous life.

Anle Hall is as luxurious and comfortable as its name. Unknown flowers and plants are planted everywhere in the hall. The breeze blows, and the fragrance is wafting in the air. The white jade-paved floor looks noble and cool.

Murong Yan returned to the hall with a cold face. Aunt Qing came over quickly and lifted up his sleeves without asking anything.

There wasn't a single sign of injury on the arm, only a hint of dark purple at the injured spot, as if it had been pinched blue.

Aunt Qing frowned, "What's going on? Did you actually check it instead of checking it?"

"No, it's Murong Yuan's masterpiece!"

Murong Yanhui carefully tore open a part of his arm, and the outer layer of skin fell off, revealing bloody flesh, which was shocking to the onlookers.

"It looks like we need to reapply the medicine." Aunt Qing spoke, obviously very dissatisfied with the situation.

Murong Yan replied with a self-deprecating laugh, "I have to trouble Aunt Qing again."

"What trouble does this servant have? My heart aches for my master. This good arm is going to be scarred."

Murong Yan smiled back and said, "Auntie, you are such a fool. I've told you so many times not to call yourself a slave. To me, you are my family. Besides, I'm not a woman, so having some scars doesn't matter."

Aunt Qing looked unhappy, "Can men have scars?! If the young lady were in heaven..."

He stopped talking halfway, and a complex emotion showed on Murong Yanhui's face. How could there be so many what-ifs in this world?

For Murong Yanhui, this concubine Qing is his other mother. She was originally his mother's personal maid named Qing'er. She followed his mother into the palace as a dowry and has always been loyal to his mother.

Later, Murong Yanhui's mother passed away, and Qing'er was old enough to leave the palace. In order to stay and take care of her young self, she even disfigured her face and insisted on staying in the palace. The late emperor was grateful for her loyalty, so he fulfilled her wish and kept her.

Even after Murong Yanhui grew up and had his own mansion outside the palace, he wanted to take her out, but she refused. Her reason was very simple. Outside the palace, Murong Yanhui was free at any time, so in this palace full of dangers, there must be someone who could protect him. Aunt Qing felt that she was the one who could protect Murong Yanhui.

This concubine Qing has an excellent skill in disguise, which can be said to be unmatched. Over the years, she has indeed helped Murong Yanhui a lot.

While applying new medicine to Murong Yanhui's wound, Aunt Qing casually said, "I heard that you've been very interested in a woman recently. Was this wound also caused by her?!"

"Aunt Qing is still so well-informed."

"Master, there are no secrets in this palace. Besides, have you forgotten that all the people around you came from my hands?"

Murong Yanhui smiled faintly and said, "That's true. Nothing can be hidden from you, Auntie! So, what do you have to say about this matter?"

Looking at Murong Yanhui's playful smile, Aunt Qing couldn't help but frown. It seemed that the master was sincere this time. Although this kid always wore a romantic mask, she understood his intention better than anyone else. But looking at his expression now, she was very worried. It seemed that the woman had really captured the master's heart.

Aunt Qing was silent. The master and the young lady were both extremely affectionate people. The young lady fell in love with the late emperor, so she entered the palace without hesitation. Even though she was framed and ostracized later, her heart never changed. Under her cold appearance, she had an extremely passionate heart.

The master is the same. In fact, over the years, as long as he wanted, he could get rid of Murong Shiling's surveillance at any time. To put it another way, it would be easy to seize the imperial power from him, but he did not do so.

They maintain a not-so-harmonious brotherly relationship and are constantly being questioned, but her master seems to enjoy it very much.

After thinking for a moment, Aunt Qing said, "I believe in the master's vision. That woman must be very special, right?"

"That's natural!"

Thinking of those cold eyes, Murong Yanhui felt a little warm in his heart, but at this moment, he became even more annoyed by the woman's unreasonable stubbornness. Damn it, he really didn't understand what she was thinking!

Seeing Murong Yanhui's extremely emotional expression, Aunt Qing felt relieved. It seemed that this time, the master was sincere.

I hope the master can meet a good girl!

As the name suggests, the Thousand Carp Hall has a large carp pond. Although summer has passed and the lotus flowers in the pond have withered, the red koi are lively and interesting, swimming around among the remaining lotus leaves, looking very comfortable.

It is said that this carp pond was built by the previous emperor for a concubine. As for the concubine's name, Yu Qingli did not know it. She only heard Murong Feng mention it by chance. When they were in the palace before, Murong Feng often brought her to see the koi.

Whenever I feel unhappy, I just come over and take a look at him, and I will feel much better.

But now the koi is still as happy as before, while I have lived a miserable life.

The steward eunuch brought Yu Qingli to the Qianli Palace, gave her a few instructions and then left. It was getting late, and after so many things that had happened, the girl must be very tired, so it would be better not to disturb her.

Yu Qingli was not sleepy at all, so she simply walked into the hall to watch the carp, wondering whether she should escape from here today.

Then he thought that today might not be the best time. The previous assassination incident had just happened, and Murong Shileng must have increased his vigilance. There were many more guards everywhere than before, let alone trying to escape from here.

It was simply a fairy tale, especially in the pitch-black night.

Sighing secretly in her heart, Yu Qingli decided to conserve her energy for the time being and make plans tomorrow. Besides, tomorrow was the day when Jinghong Music Club would leave the palace. Perhaps she could find an opportunity to blend in with the crowd leaving the palace and escape.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingli felt a lot more relieved.

"Yes, just do it!"

After feeding some fish food to the little fish, Yu Qingli entered the inner hall and said, "Go to sleep. There will be a bigger test waiting for me tomorrow!"

Have a good night's sleep!

When Yu Qingli opened her eyes, it was already dawn, but the sky was a little gloomy. The dark clouds indicated that there would definitely be a rainstorm today.

Yu Qingli suddenly got up from the bed. She had to escape now. If she waited until Murong Shiling left the court, it would not be so easy to leave.

What's more, early morning is when people want to sleep the most, and the guards are most relaxed at this time.

Yu Qingli secretly looked out through the crack in the door. There were two guards standing on each side. The eunuchs who were accompanying her had already gone to bed, and the assigned palace maids had also gone back to rest in the second half of the night.

The four guards standing at the door all looked tired and were obviously very exhausted.

This is a great opportunity to escape, but if I go out in this outfit, I'm afraid it will attract too much attention. The only thing I can do now is to find another set of clothes as soon as possible.

Perhaps the heavens heard Yu Qingli's prayers, for at that moment, a low voice rang out from outside the palace. The voice was sharp yet gentle, "Thank you all for your hard work. His Majesty sent me to inquire if anything else happened in Qianli Palace last night?"

The guard at the door replied, "Don't worry, eunuch. We will swear to protect the girl's safety."

"Well, I feel relieved with this. Well, let's all keep watch. I have to go back and report. The emperor is still waiting for a reply!"

Yu Qingli said at this time: "Eunuch, can you come in and talk?"

The eunuch didn't dare to be negligent upon hearing this. What a joke! This girl might become the queen of some palace in the future. Besides, he had never seen His Majesty favor anyone so much in all these years in this palace. This girl Yu Liuli had truly won His Majesty's heart.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, my job is to serve this girl well.

Hearing the call from the inner hall, the eunuch hurried into the hall, "Is the young lady awake yet? Just tell me what you want me to do."

"Come in and talk. I have something for you to bring to His Majesty."

The eunuch heard this, and although he was a little hesitant, he still pushed the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the inner hall, he did not see anyone. He was feeling strange, when suddenly a strong wind blew past his ears. He didn't even have time to shout. He felt a pain on the back of his neck and was knocked to the ground.

Looking at the unconscious eunuch, Yu Qingli's heart was pounding, but she had no time to think about anything else. She had no way to retreat.

He immediately took off the eunuch's clothes and put them on, then moved the eunuch to the bed, covered him up, pretended to be sleeping, then lowered his head and hurriedly left Qianli Palace.

Seeing her hurried steps without even speaking to them, the two guards couldn't help but wonder what had happened to this eunuch all of a sudden? It seemed as if he was going to the market.

One of them said, "It's really strange. What is this father-in-law so anxious about?"

Another person stopped him, saying, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. The eunuch is so anxious, he must have something important to report. It has nothing to do with you or me. Just guard the door. I heard that the woman inside is the concubine that His Majesty just appointed."

"What concubine? She's just a dancer."

"Don't talk nonsense. Be careful of your life. His Majesty's words are golden. I heard that he announced it at the banquet yesterday. How can His Majesty go back on his word?"

"So, this little dancer really turned into a phoenix overnight?"

"..."

While the two were discussing heatedly, they didn't notice that Yu Qingli in the room had already escaped.
