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

Chapter 488 Return

Murong Yanhui rode back on his horse, the deep affection and friendship in his eyes strong and forbearing. In the end, he said nothing, but just rode forward and whispered, "Let's go!"

Changkong drove the carriage and followed Murong Yanhui. The carriage moved very slowly. Yu Qingli sat in the carriage, wishing that the journey could be longer. However, her reason told her that such escape would not be a problem after all.

In the few days approaching the capital, Yu Qingli had already learned about the current situation in Canghe through Murong Yanhui's channels. The struggle between the prince's party and the eldest prince's party was intensifying, and the situation was tense. Canghe Emperor Murong Shiling was still in a coma, and all affairs of the court were temporarily supervised by the prince, assisted by Prime Minister Yu.

On the surface, the prince's party seems to have the upper hand temporarily, but this is only a temporary situation. Murong Yanhui said that Murong Feng is actively winning over court officials, especially Yu Zhengsha, and it seems to have been quite effective. At least, Prime Minister Yu has taken this opportunity to marry his youngest daughter Yu Zhenzhen, whom he has always doted on, to Murong Feng, and gave her the title of Zhenfei.

Yu Qingli secretly found it funny. Yu Zhenzhen had previously participated in the Prince of Yan's concubine selection meeting in public, and even Murong Shileng had personally issued an edict. Now that Yu Zhengsha had made such a fuss, it was obvious that he had decided to give up Murong Shileng and prepare to serve the new emperor again.

There was another thing that made Yu Qingli even more upset. Murong Feng seemed to have known that she had disguised herself as a man and sneaked into the military camp, but he was temporarily busy with many matters at the court and had no time to pay attention to her. Or maybe it was because he had received the military token from Murong Yan before, so he was kind enough to let her go for the time being.

No matter what the result is, since Murong Feng pretended not to know, there was no need for her to mention it on her own initiative. She could just pretend that she had just returned from recuperating in Jiangnan.

Ju'an Hall was still the same, and nothing had been moved in the room where she lived. However, when Xiaoliu saw her come back, his eyes suddenly turned red. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, and was unwilling to stand up for a long time. Qinghe was not so excited. After all, this master was not her real master. She just kowtowed reluctantly after Xiaoliu, and quickly found an excuse to leave.

Upon learning that she was back, reactions varied from place to place in the palace. The most intense reactions came from Yu Zhenzhen and Concubine Yu. The former was angry and wished that Yu Qingli would stay away forever and never return to the palace, while the latter was happy and felt that someone finally helped solve the trivial matters in the palace.

Yu Qingli didn't know what these people were thinking, so the first thing she did was to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

Although Yu Qingli did not have much good feelings towards the Queen Mother, she was Murong Yanhui's mother after all, and now she had the Queen Mother's handle in her hands, so she had no need to be afraid, and she might even be able to use this to make a deal with the Queen Mother.

When Yu Qingli arrived at Cixin Palace, Queen Mother Qin was trimming flowers and plants, and Qingluan was standing respectfully by her side serving her. Yu Qingli stepped forward respectfully and knelt down to pay her respects.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother, may you be well and at peace!"

The Queen Mother didn't look up or speak for a long time, just leaving Yu Qingli there. Yu Qingli knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was trying to intimidate her, but she could only endure it.

Queen Mother Qin methodically trimmed the branches of a pot of plum blossoms, not even glancing at Yu Qingli. However, Qing Luan, who was standing by, seemed a little uncomfortable watching and called out, "Queen Mother, the Crown Prince's Consort is here!"

The Queen Mother then responded coldly, "Get up."

Yu Qingli stood up. The empress dowager put down the scissors in her hand, washed her hands with clean water, and then told Qingluan to find a seat for Yu Qingli.

Yu Qingli didn't hesitate either. She knelt on the cold floor for a long time, and her feet were already numb. Since someone offered to sit down, why not?

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea and asked inquiringly, "I heard that you went to Jiangnan to recuperate. How is your health now?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Everything is fine now."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "I'm afraid he's not recuperating, but doing something shady?"

Facing the Queen Mother's sarcasm, Yu Qingli remained silent, only a cold light flashed in her eyes, "If the Queen Mother thinks so, I have nothing to say."

The Queen Mother put down the tea bowl heavily and said angrily, "Yu Qingli, don't think that I know nothing. You disguised yourself as a man and sneaked into the military camp without permission, seduced the commander, and disrupted the court. Do you think no one knows about this?"

Yu Qingli suddenly laughed, looking directly at the Queen Mother with an indifferent expression, "The Queen Mother is right, I did disguise myself as a man and entered the military camp. As for whether I seduced the commander-in-chief and disrupted the court, I'm afraid that's not up to the Queen Mother to decide."

"You! Don't think you can be so fearless just because Hui'er is protecting you. Hui'er was just confused for a moment and couldn't recognize your true face. If he knew all your evil deeds, I wonder if he would still protect you."

"Yes, then I would like to trouble the Queen Mother to tell the Prince of Yan all my evil deeds so that he can stop thinking about me. I will be grateful to you forever!"

Yu Qingli deliberately bowed, but the sarcasm in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed!

The empress dowager was so angry that she was shaking all over and the tea bowl in her hand almost slipped. Although she had been out of the palace for many years, she had no idea that there was such a rampant woman in the harem. Although she was already the eldest prince's consort, she seemed to have no sense of shame at all. Sure enough, Yu Zhengsha's daughter was as unpopular as her father.

Seeing this, Yu Qingli took the initiative to say, "Since the Queen Mother doesn't want to see me, I won't force you. Please go to bed early. I'll take my leave."

"Stop, who allowed you to leave!"

Yu Qingli ignored her and walked straight towards the door. When she was about to step out of the palace, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to remind her, "Oh, Queen Mother, I met a strange person when I left the palace this time. She claimed to be the current Queen Mother and asked me to say hello to you. Don't you think this is very interesting?"

The Queen Mother was horrified when she heard this. She wanted to ask Yu Qingli for details, but she had already disappeared. She suddenly fell into the phoenix chair, unable to recover for a long time. Yu Qingli! How much does this woman know?

"Qingluan, check for me right now. Was that old woman rescued by Yu Qingli?"

After a while, the empress dowager came to her senses and gave a stern order, but she could not stop the panic in her heart. She wanted to pick up the teacup and drink some tea to calm her nerves, but she accidentally dropped the teacup on the ground, breaking it into pieces.

Qing Luan soothed him, "Master, perhaps things are not as we think. In my opinion, the Crown Prince's wife may not be able to rescue them."

"If she didn't do it, how would she know about that person?"

Qing Luan hesitated for a moment before she murmured softly, "I'm afraid the prince told her."

"This white-eyed wolf!"

"Master, I actually think that Miss Yu didn't say these words to oppose you. Perhaps she just doesn't want you to interfere between her and the prince..."

"Shut up!" The Queen Mother interrupted Qingluan. "Do you mean I should just let her mock and threaten me like this?"

"The slaves dare not!"

"Alright, no more nonsense. Just do what I told you to do. Also, bring Xuan Hui'er back to see me as soon as possible. He actually dared to hand over the military token to Murong Feng without permission. I'm so disappointed!"

"master……"

"Okay, you don't have to say anything. I don't want to hear it. Go away."

The Queen Mother rubbed her slightly painful forehead while speaking, and waved her hand to let Qingluan go. Qingluan did not say anything else. She knew that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make. It would be better for her to investigate what her master had ordered.

When Qingluan was leaving, she happened to pass by Murong Yanhui who came to pay her respects at Cixin Palace. Qingluan secretly complained that these two people had such a good understanding that they even came to pay their respects only a moment apart. She hoped that the prince would not make the empress dowager angry.

Qingluan bowed to Murong Yanhui, but Murong Yanhui simply ignored her. This made Qingluan feel very sad. The child she raised with her own hands was now so estranged from her. It really made her feel indescribable discomfort.

The Queen Mother was just thinking about asking Murong Yan to come back, but he showed up on his own initiative, which made the Queen Mother feel a little better. After Murong Yan came back to pay his respects to her, she began to question him about the military token.

Murong Yanhui was upset when he heard this. The mother and son hadn't seen each other for many days, and the first thing they asked about was the most insignificant thing. It really chilled him, and his tone became a little colder.

Leaving Murong Yanhui and the Queen Mother aside, Yu Qingli left Cixin Palace and returned to Ju'an Palace. To her surprise, Murong Feng was actually waiting for her in the palace.

Murong Feng was still wearing court robes, looking like he had just come home from court. His usually elegant and gentle face was now tainted with a bit of murderous intent, and there was a viciousness in his eyes, as if he was ready to tear Yu Qingli apart and eat her.

Yu Qingli was a little dazed. This cold Murong Feng overlapped with the person in her memory. It turned out that after being reborn, this person had not changed at all!

Seeing Yu Qingli coming in, Murong Feng's face became even uglier, but he didn't get angry directly. Instead, he drove everyone in the hall out.

Yu Qingli looked at Murong Feng's hypocritical appearance as always, and felt more and more ridiculous in her heart. She must have been blind to fall in love with such a man.

Murong Feng looked at her intently, as if trying to understand her thoughts. After a moment, he asked, "Qingli, are you the military doctor?"

"Yes!"

Yu Qingli didn't intend to deny it. Moreover, since Murong Feng asked her proactively, he must have known something.

Murong Feng suddenly became angry. He jumped up from his chair with a little excitement, "You actually admitted it?"

"Since you already know everything, why should I hide it?"

"Is this the surprise you said you would give me? This is ridiculous, Yu Qingli, do you know what you are doing?"

Murong Feng looked incredulous, as if he was sad because of Yu Qingli's behavior, and as if he was angry because of her betrayal.
