Chapter 386 Exploitation
Murong Yuan was dressed neatly, and her hatred was even deeper. She held the phoenix whip and walked out of the hall angrily.
"Your Highness! Where are you going?"
Yu Zhenzhen hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Murong Yuan. She didn't expect Murong Yuan's reaction to be so big. She looked like she was going to go straight to Yu Qingli and fight her to the death!
"Let me go! What? Are you unhappy that I'm going to teach your sister a lesson?"
"Your Highness, you can't be so impulsive. Yu Qingli's actions were certainly dishonest, but her methods were very clever. No one knew what she was doing. Wasn't even your brother kept in the dark? If you were to confront her like this, I'm afraid she wouldn't let it go. Then the only one who would be in the wrong would be you, Princess!"
Yu Zhenzhen appealed to Murong Yuan's emotions and reasoned with her, finally making her stop. "You're right, Yu Qingli is insidious and cunning. Maybe she's just waiting for me to settle the score with her!"
"That's what the princess said!"
Yu Zhenzhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Murong Yuan finally had some sense. If she really rushed to Ju'an Palace like this, things would get out of hand, and wouldn't all her lies be exposed? She was still counting on Murong Yuan to help her. She couldn't let anything happen at this time.
"So how do you think I should vent my anger?"
Seeing Murong Yuan calm down, Yu Zhenzhen finally spoke: "Have you ever thought about taking something that Yu Qingli likes?"
"What does Yu Qingli like?" Murong Yuan was not stupid. She thought what Yu Zhenzhen mentioned was a good idea.
Yu Zhenzhen pretended to be mysterious and said, "Your Highness the Princess may not know that Yu Qingli actually has someone she likes!"
"Oh?" Murong Yuan raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to tell me that the person she likes is my royal brother, are you? If so, wouldn't it be meaningless to tell me that?"
"The person I'm talking about is naturally not the eldest prince." Yu Zhenzhen said firmly, "Your Highness, think about it, since Yu Qingli entered the palace, who has she been closest to?"
Yu Zhenzhen's reminder reminded Murong Yuan that ever since Yu Qingli married into the palace, she seemed to have the best relationship with the young emperor's uncle. Although the young emperor's uncle sometimes approached her, she didn't refuse him, right? Could it be that Yu Qingli's true love was for the young emperor's uncle? Then why had she agreed to marry the emperor's brother in the first place?
Seeing Murong Yuan lost in thought, Yu Zhenzhen knew that her plan was halfway successful. Sure enough, a moment later, Murong Yuan gritted her teeth and said, "Tell me, does Yu Qingli like the little uncle?"
"Princess, you are wise. Although she concealed it very well, it still did not escape your discerning eyes. In my opinion, since Yu Qingli is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust. Doesn't she love to destroy others? How about we destroy her too?"
Murong Yuan glanced at Yu Zhenzhen and said, "From what you said, there is already a solution?"
Yu Zhenzhen blushed, leaned close to Murong Yuan's ear and told her her plan.
Murong Yuan was a little unhappy when she heard this and said, "Yu Zhenzhen, you are not taking advantage of me, are you?"
"Zhenzhen wouldn't dare!" Yu Zhenzhen was horrified and pretended to be submissive. "I really want to avenge the princess!"
"Hmph! That's better!" Murong Yuan snorted coldly. Although she had some doubts in her heart, looking at Yu Zhenzhen's obedient appearance, it didn't seem like she was plotting against her. After all, letting her become the emperor's uncle's woman was better than the emperor's uncle always thinking about Yu Qingli. What's more, given Yu Zhenzhen's status, it was likely that even if the emperor's uncle didn't want to take responsibility, he would not be able to do so.
After thinking about it, the person who could help her vent her anger had to be Yu Zhenzhen!
"Okay! Yu Zhenzhen, if that's the case, I'll help you. After you're done, you have to help me think of a good solution, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you."
"Don't worry, Princess. Since you and I are friends, we should naturally help each other." Yu Zhenzhen smiled. How could she bear to give up such a good ally?
Murong Yuan’s idea was that since Yu Qingli liked the little uncle, she would let Yu Qingli taste what it felt like to lose the person she loved!
At this time, Yu Qingli had no idea what Murong Yanhui would encounter because of her.
The time is quiet and good. Yu Qingli has been in a good mood these days. Xiluo's injuries have basically improved, and the prince has been released from the sky prison. Although there are still some things that have not been resolved, everything is going well overall.
In addition, she also received good news. She heard that the King of Persia had written to Prince Ashura and Prince Alai, asking them to return as soon as possible.
"Miss, the snacks sent by the kitchen are said to be a new dish recently. It is called Crispy Hibiscus Cake. The ladies in the palace like it very much."
Mei Hong walked in with a plate of exquisite pastries. Although she had put on some blush, her face didn't look very good.
Yu Qingli glanced at her and replied calmly, "Leave it there."
Mei Hong put the pastry on the table, then stood with her head down, not saying a word. She was completely different from her lively appearance before.
Yu Qingli reached out and took a piece of cake and took a bite. "This tastes really good. Meihong, you should try one too."
"Thank you, miss."
Mei Hong stepped forward, took the pastry, but before she put it in her mouth, she felt the greasy sweet taste made her feel nauseous. A feeling of vomiting came over her, and she couldn't help but drop the pastry, cover her mouth, and run away.
Yu Qingli frowned and looked at Mei Hong's back thoughtfully, with a cold look in her eyes.
When Mei Hong came in again, her face looked even paler and uglier, and even her lips were a little blue. She looked extremely miserable. She bowed slightly and said, "Miss, I'm sorry. I've had a bad stomach these past few days and I'm sorry for rejecting your kindness."
"It's nothing, just a piece of cake. Since you're not feeling well, you don't need to come and serve me these few days. Go back and have a good rest."
"Thank you, miss."
Mei Hong did not refuse and turned around and left in a hurry.
Only after Mei Hong's back disappeared into the distance did Yu Qingli ask, "Xiao Liu, is she really having stomach discomfort?"
"My Lord, I don't think it's likely. It looks more like the ladies in the palace are pregnant."
"You mean she's pregnant?"
"I'm not sure either. How about going back and checking?"
Yu Qingli sneered, "It's really interesting. I didn't expect that she was pregnant! Xiaoliu, I want to know the exact news before tomorrow."
"Master, don't worry. I won't let you down."
Yu Qingli waved her hand, signaling Xiaoliu to leave for the time being. She stood up from her chair and looked out the window. The sky in the distance was full of strange clouds and turbulent waves, presenting a very strange appearance. She murmured to herself, "It seems that the weather is about to change!"
Mei Hong left Ju'an Hall and returned to her own residence. The maid who shared the same room with her had not returned yet, and she was the only one in the room. She sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the fairly pretty face in the mirror. The sleepless nights these days had made her originally plump face a little thinner, her chin much sharper, and her already round eyes looked even bigger.
The person in the mirror had an innocent face, except for his extremely deep eyes with a hint of calculation. His lips were tightly pursed, pale, and he looked haggard.
Mei Hong clenched her fists and said, "It seems that I should find an opportunity to explain this to His Highness."
"Is anyone here?"
Just as Mei Hong was secretly planning, she suddenly heard a familiar male voice coming from outside. She was startled and quickly got up and went out.
Standing at the door was a tall, ordinary-looking man with a tolerant smile on his honest face. "Miss Meihong."
Mei Hong glanced around and saw that there was no one around. She then pulled the person into the room in a panic and quickly closed the door.
"Daniu, why are you here?" Mei Hong's tone was filled with some dissatisfaction and reprimand.
"I'm a little worried about you. You haven't come for five days, and you haven't taken the medicine the doctor gave you." Da Niu scratched his head embarrassedly. He really treated Mei Hong as his own sister.
Mei Hong glared at him disdainfully. "I've been busy tending to the young lady these days, so I don't have the time. Besides, the medicine won't work. Didn't I tell you not to come looking for me if you're okay? Even though this is the servants' quarters, outsiders are forbidden to enter. If someone finds out, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain myself."
"Don't worry, Miss Meihong. The guard and I are from the same hometown. He won't say anything nonsense."
"Can you still guarantee that no one else will see and say anything? Okay, okay, if you don't have anything else, just leave quickly and avoid causing me trouble."
Daniu was a little embarrassed. Even if he was a thick-skinned man, he could tell that Mei Hong wasn't as easy to talk to as before. What had happened? It had only been such a long time since they last met, and yet Mei Hong seemed like a completely different person.
Daniu felt unhappy, yet he was also worried about this girl. In fact, he liked Meihong the first time he saw her. If he hadn't known that he didn't have such luck, he would probably...
Daniu sighed inwardly at his wishful thinking. How could such a good girl possibly follow him? Since she was pregnant with a master's child, perhaps one day she would become a powerful person.
"Then I'll leave these medicines here. Miss Meihong, you must take the medicines well. I'll be leaving first."
Mei Hong said impatiently: "I know, hurry up and leave!"
Daniu left reluctantly, sighing in his heart, thinking that he was just a useless gardener! Even if he was a guard, Miss Meihong might look at him with a higher regard.
Shortly after Da Niu left, Mei Hong irritably threw the pregnancy-preserving medicine to the ground. She hadn't seen Murong Feng for several days and didn't know what he was busy with!
Murong Feng has indeed been very busy these days. Ever since the prince was released, Prince Ashura is obviously no longer willing to trust him or continue to cooperate with him. On the other hand, the Lin family and the Liu family are running around because of the prince's frame-up, hoping to find out the final mastermind.
