HCB Chapter 225 Entering the Palace to Marry
Chapter 225 Entering the Palace to Marry
Murong Feng and Mei Hong both disguised themselves slightly, but even so, Yu Qingli could still see the very happy couple at a glance.
They were walking hand in hand at this time, behaving like an ordinary newlywed couple. I really didn't know what kind of means Mei Hong used to make Murong Feng willing to lower himself and go shopping with her.
But it was really strange. Seeing the current scene, Yu Qingli didn't feel angry or sad at all. Instead, she found it funny. She really didn't know whether she was too stupid or too gullible in her previous life. She didn't even notice such an obvious betrayal. It seemed that her death was really unjust.
Murong Yanhui couldn't see Yu Qingli's expression, but she could tell from her slightly stiff body that she must be in a very bad mood at the moment. The man she wanted to marry so wholeheartedly was actually strolling on the street with her maid in such an intimate manner.
How abominable!
"Lili, is this the man you said you would spend your life with?"
Yu Qingli calmed herself down and turned to look at Murong Yanhui's face. "So what? Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Yu Qingli's words.
"Lili..."
"Your Highness, I've been out for quite a while now. I'm feeling a little tired, so I'll take my leave for now."
Yu Qingli turned and left. It was just betrayal. She had already gotten used to it, hadn't she?
This time, Murong Yanhui did not follow. He looked at Yu Qingli's figure. He wanted to possess that woman and protect her from the wind and rain, but now, she refused. Even when she saw Murong Feng betraying her with her own eyes, she still refused his help.
what is this?
Is it true that she wants this world as she said?
If that's the case, then what should he do?
He originally lived like this just to avoid the world's conflict. Does he really want to be involved in the bloody storm again for Yu Qingli?
Yu Qingli returned to the mansion, but she couldn't calm down. She had made little progress in revenge, while Mei Hong seemed to have begun to slowly approach Murong Feng with her own strength and won Murong Feng's trust.
She seemed a little anxious. What should she do next?
"Miss..." Xiluo was a little worried. The moment she saw that scene, Xiluo was also extremely shocked!
No wonder the young lady has always had a very strange attitude towards Mei Hong. At first, I thought it was the young lady's problem, but now it seems that the young lady must have discovered that Mei Hong and Murong Feng were secretly having an affair, so she lost trust in her.
Thinking about it this way, the young lady is really pitiful.
Yu Qingli walked out the door, looking somewhat lost. She wondered if it was the approaching day of her marriage to Murong Feng that was making her increasingly uneasy. Soon, she would be spending every day with Murong Feng. Thinking of her past life, Yu Qingli felt her blood run cold.
But now that things have come to this, she has no way out, and this is also her fate. After being put to death, the only thing she wants to do is to avenge herself and the child who never had time to grow up!
For this, she will do anything!
The autumn wind blew up the fallen leaves, which rustled in Yu Qingli's ears, as if someone was walking on those fallen leaves!
Sure enough, not long after, Yu Zhengsha walked in with a respectful look on his face and a man who looked like a eunuch.
Yu Qingli stepped forward and saluted, "Father, this eunuch is..."
"No need to be so polite, Princess. I am Eunuch Lin, serving His Majesty. I have come here on the orders of the Empress to bring the Princess into the palace."
Yu Qingli was surprised. What was going on? Entering the palace now? How could things turn out like this?
"Eunuch Lin, what's going on? Isn't the wedding still some time away? How could it be..."
"Although the wedding is still some time away, Her Majesty has expressed her hope that you can cultivate a closer relationship with the Crown Prince before the wedding. Furthermore, Her Majesty seems to be planning to personally prepare your dowry, so she has gone to His Majesty to request his permission. In short, Princess Consort, you should pack up as soon as possible and come to the palace with me."
From beginning to end, Yu Zhengsha didn't say a word, but Yu Qingli could still tell from his expression that he seemed very angry.
Come to think of it, if I enter the palace, it will be much more difficult for Yu Zhengsha to take action. But the queen let me into the palace at this time. Could it be that she has noticed something?
But think about it, there are so many spies in the palace. It was really a mistake for Yu Zhengsha to get rid of me in the palace last time!
"Eunuch Lin, what did you just say? The Queen asked Yu Qingli to enter the palace?" Yu Zhengsha seemed to have just come to his senses. "This seems different from what you said before."
"Prime Minister Yu, this is the Empress's intention. Does this mean that the Prime Minister intends to disobey her order?"
Yu Qingli was a little surprised, her eyes fell on Yu Zhengsha, who looked stunned and angry. How come he didn't know about this?
Eunuch Lin was an old man by the emperor's side. Although he was just a eunuch, his status in the palace was not low. This time, the queen specially asked him to announce the decree, probably because she thought that Prime Minister Yu might resist.
Yu Zhengsha lowered his brows and soon smiled, "What are you talking about, Eunuch Lin? How could an old minister disobey your order?"
Eunuch Lin then nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, the princess should prepare to enter the palace as soon as possible."
"Eunuch Lin, even if Yu Qingli wants to enter the palace, it would be inappropriate to do so in such a hurry. How about this? It's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, Yu Qingli and I will go to the palace together to pay our respects to the Empress."
Eunuch Lin sneered and said, "Prime Minister, I am merely a messenger. I dare not arbitrarily change your will. Besides, it's just about letting Miss Yu stay in the palace temporarily. What's the problem with that?"
Eunuch Lin thought that Yu Zhengsha loved his daughter too much, but Yu Qingli knew what Yu Zhengsha was really worried about.
"Can't the father-in-law be flexible?"
Eunuch Lin sighed and said, "Prime Minister, please don't embarrass me. If you are reluctant to part with the young lady, just go and ask His Majesty directly."
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhengsha knew that he would get nothing good from this eunuch. It seemed that the palace had made up its mind. Could it be that the last attack on Yu Qingli in the palace was exposed?
Seeing Yu Zhengsha's expression changing again and again, Eunuch Lin smiled and said, "I never thought that the Prime Minister, who is always serious, would have such a warm side! Well, Prime Minister, you don't have to be sad. Anyway, if you want to see the prince's wife in the future, just go to the palace directly."
Yu Zhengsha smiled awkwardly at Eunuch Lin's joke.
Yu Qingli stood by silently until Yu Zhengsha and Eunuch Lin finished their conversation. Then she asked, "Eunuch Lin, may I bring two personal maids with me into the palace?"
"Of course, the Empress has ordered that young ladies can bring their favorite maids into the palace. This is a great honor!"
"Yes! Then please wait for a moment, sir. I'll pack some clothes and leave."
"Your Highness is too polite. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you in the future! Please feel free to do as you please."
Yu Qingli then told Xiluo to go into the house with her to pack up.
"Miss, this matter is a little strange. You'd better be more careful." Xiluo felt vaguely uneasy. The palace was different from the outside world. Sometimes, people didn't even know the reason for their death.
"I know what's going on. Don't worry."
When the two were packing up, the door was suddenly pushed open. Mei Hong looked excited, her cheeks slightly red, and said excitedly: "Miss, I heard that we are going to the palace!"
Before Yu Qingli could speak, Xiluo frowned with some disgust. Was Mei Hong a little too complacent?
"Miss Meihong, it's the young lady who is going to the palace. You and I are just servants." Xiluo reminded Meihong, who seemed to have forgotten her identity, with a meaningful look.
Meihong was stunned and vaguely felt Xiluo's hostility, but she quickly attributed it to something unpleasant that happened between her and the young lady when they went out on the street today.
Compared to this, the news of entering the palace was indeed more exciting. It meant that she could meet the eldest prince without having to be secretive. Just thinking about this made Mei Hong happy.
Meihong stepped forward and took the things Xiluo had packed and said, "Xiluo, you must be tired after accompanying the young lady out today. Let me take care of the packing."
Yu Qingli winked at Xiluo, and Xiluo put down the things she was packing. "Okay, in that case, I'll trouble you, Miss Meihong."
"No trouble, no trouble."
It seems that Meihong is in a good mood.
In just an incense stick of time, Mei Hong had packed everything up, so Yu Qingli took them out of the Yu Mansion.
Eunuch Lin and the carriage from the palace had been waiting for a long time. The master and his two servants got on the carriage and rushed towards the palace with different moods.
A cool breeze blew in from the carriage window, which slightly eased Yu Qingli's annoyance. What was she panicking about?
The carriage stopped outside the palace gate. As usual, Yu Qingli and the others would walk in.
Yu Qingli got off the carriage and stood at the palace gate, feeling a little dazed. She didn't expect that she would have to enter the palace again in just a few days.
"Princess, let's go." Eunuch Lin led the way, and Yu Qingli followed closely behind.
After today, I will live here. Yu Qingli comforted herself in her heart: "Just think of this as a rehearsal for the future."
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Yu Qingli and others turned their heads and saw a man and a horse galloping towards the palace gate!
Yu Qingli quickly stepped aside to let the newcomer pass. Eunuch Lin saw Yu Qingli's performance and seemed very satisfied.
