Chapter 151 Meeting or not
Seeing Murong Cheng frown, Murong Yan smiled back and said, "Why? Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showing some sympathy for women?"
"It's just an eyesore."
Murong Yanhui nodded slightly, "It's a bit of an eyesore."
Nanny Li had obviously noticed Murong Yanhui and the others early on. Her expression changed, but she still politely saluted them, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Prince of Yan..."
Before Murong Yan could reply, the woman who was kneeling on the ground could not help but say with joy, "Your Highness, Your Highness, save me!"
"You slut, shut up! Don't disturb the Crown Prince and Prince of Yan!" Nanny Li said as she winked at the other two people. It was really bad luck that she was teaching a woman who came out of nowhere a lesson, but why did she meet these two people?
Seeing this, the two maids nearby hurried forward and tried to pull the woman away. Nanny Li also took the opportunity to leave. She still wanted to inquire about the woman's origins and how she got into the East Palace. Could she have any connection with the prince?
Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly shouted, "Prince, save me! I am Liu Manwu, Liu Manwu from Jinghong Music Club!"
"Jinghong Music House?!"
Murong Yanhui and Murong Cheng looked at each other in surprise. Murong Cheng suddenly remembered that the woman he liked seemed to have a younger sister named Liu Manwu. Could it be the one in front of him?
"Still silent!"
Nanny Li stretched out her hand to slap Liu Manwu, but suddenly she felt a pain in her wrist. She screamed "Ouch" and when she looked down, she saw a small stone fell to the ground.
He raised his eyes with resentment, but met Murong Yanhui's deep and cold eyes. The cruelty in his eyes was no less than that of the current emperor.
Nanny Li was shocked and quickly lowered her eyes and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Murong Yanhui snorted coldly, stepped forward and personally helped Liu Manwu up, praising her, "It would be a shame if such a beauty was ruined by you old women! This beauty, I will protect her."
Nanny Li was in a dilemma. She had hoped to find some evidence against the Crown Prince, but she hadn't expected this Prince of Yan to ruin her plans. She felt really bad, "But Your Highness, this woman just barged into the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. I wonder where she came from..."
Nanny Li felt a flash of cold light in front of her eyes and stopped talking immediately. She secretly glanced at Murong Yanhui and saw that his face was cold and he seemed very unhappy with her questioning.
"Are you deaf? Didn't she just say she was from Jinghong Music Club? How could she not know her origins?"
Perhaps it was because of his love for Liu Jinghong that his wife's family became his love for his wife. Thinking of Liu Jinghong's previous care and protection for Liu Manwu, Murong Cheng couldn't help but turn cold. "Madam Li, you clearly knew that the Jinghong Music Troupe was ordered to perform in the palace for my father's birthday banquet, yet you arrested their members and interrogated them. Don't you think I'm serious about you?"
Such accusations made Nanny Li break out in a cold sweat. She kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "I dare not, I dare not. This was my negligence. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
"Get out of here now!" The two scolded Li Ma Ma. This cunning slave had her hands stained with countless blood and sins in the harem over the years.
Nanny Li was filled with resentment and resentment, but she did not dare to offend these two masters. A prince and a prince of Yan could crush her to death in a minute like crushing an ant. She just didn't know how these two would suddenly get together. It seemed that this news had to be told to the queen as soon as possible.
Nanny Li led several other maids out of the Crown Prince's Palace. Liu Manwu, looking aggrieved, raised her tear-stained face. Fortunately, she had not forgotten basic etiquette. She politely saluted the two of them and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince. Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, for saving my life. Manwu will never forget it."
Murong Yanhui raised Liu Manwu's chin in a slightly teasing manner and said, "Such beautiful eyes, crying like this wouldn't be beautiful. What happened today was just a piece of cake, but if you really want to repay me, I don't mind you giving me your body."
Liu Manwu blushed. Although she should have been angry at hearing such teasing words, the other party was a prince after all, and he was also suave, handsome and elegant, which made her vanity soar.
Murong Yanhui asked curiously, "Aren't all the performers from outside the palace supposed to sleep in the side halls? Why did you come to the East Palace?"
However, Liu Manwu's eyes suddenly turned red, and she even looked aggrieved. She exaggerated the incident of the pipa being broken, and her words were nothing but excuses for herself.
After hearing this, Murong Yanhui's eyes flashed with disdain. It seemed that this woman came to the East Palace deliberately because she was jealous of her sister. He had misjudged her before. He just didn't know if his nephew, the crown prince, who had always been cold-hearted, would be deceived?
As Liu Manwu spoke, her body leaned towards Murong Cheng with a soft body. She thought the prince would catch her, but unexpectedly, the prince quietly turned aside with a solemn expression, "Go back quickly! Otherwise Miss Jinghong will worry."
Liu Manwu didn't lean on Murong Cheng, but almost fell down. She couldn't help biting her lips and calling her "Miss Jinghong" so affectionately. Don't they care about her feelings at all?
The scene was a little awkward for a moment, and Murong Yanhui said, "I think Miss Manwu probably wandered here by chance and can't remember the way back. Since we are going to the side hall as well, why not send her back?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Manwu looked at Murong Yanhui with gratitude. Murong Yanhui quickly withdrew his gaze. He did this just to find an excuse for Murong Cheng to meet Liu Jinghong. What could make her more grateful than sending her sister back?
As for Liu Jinghong and Yu Qingli, they walked all the way to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, but didn't see a single person along the way. Liu Jinghong became increasingly anxious. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he discussed with Yu Qingli, "Liuli, why don't we split up and look for her separately? If we still haven't found her after half an hour, we can go back to the side hall and make other plans. I'm worried that Manwu might not have gone to the Eastern Palace, but just taken the wrong path."
Yu Qingli, who had been searching for Liu Manwu for a long time but had never seen her, nodded slightly when she heard this. "I understand. Okay then, we'll each go look for her separately. In short, be careful."
Liu Jinghong nodded, "I understand."
Just like that, Yu Qingli and Murong Yan went their separate ways and did not meet each other, but they never expected that they would meet the other man whom they hated to the core.
In order to make it easier to find the place, Yu Qingli asked Liu Jinghong to continue going to the East Palace, while she herself went to look for the place along the fork in the road. After all, she was very familiar with this palace. Even though a lifetime had passed, she still clearly remembered that this road led to the former Prince's East Palace, which is now Murong Feng's bedroom, Si'an Palace.
As she walked along, even the flowers and trees on both sides of the road seemed so familiar that she felt shocked. Now, the flowers and trees have not changed, but she has gone through a lifetime.
Entering the hall, the lush Albizia Julibrissin tree came into view. It was as beautiful as in my memory. Although the flowering season had passed, there were still a few white flowers remaining on the branches, like children who were attached to their mother and were reluctant to leave.
Walking on the familiar bluestone road, Yu Qingli hesitated a little. Should she continue forward? Liu Manwu should not... Just when Yu Qingli was about to turn around and leave, a gentle voice came from her ear, "Who are you?!"
Murong Feng was a little dazed. He was strolling under the cassia flowers when he had nothing to do, but he caught a glimpse of a red figure. The figure was slender and enchanting, so captivating that even his breathing became heavy.
Yu Qingli felt that something was wrong, but there was no possibility of escape, so she immediately lowered her brows and saluted respectfully.
Murong Feng walked closer and felt vaguely that the woman's figure was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her. He saw her standing among the flowers, as lively as a fairy. Where did such a beautiful woman come from?
The voice couldn't help but become softer. "Where are you from?"
"I am Yu Liuli, a dancer."
"Oh, where are you from?"
Yu Qingli, who had not wanted to reveal the name of the music house, had no choice but to use the music house as a shield. So she replied, "Your Highness, I am from Jinghong Music House."
Yu Liuli, it was a really nice name, but wasn't this Jinghong Music House the music house that Prince Murong Cheng had specially brought into the palace? It was said that it was introduced by the Prince of Yan. He couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but the woman before him just couldn't make him dislike her.
"Since she's a dancer, shouldn't she be in the side hall? Why did she come to Si'an Hall?"
"Your Highness, please calm down. One of the sisters in the music studio got lost, so I came here to try my luck. I hope you will forgive me for disturbing you."
Yu Qingli kept her head down, fearing that Murong Feng would recognize her. She couldn't reveal herself now.
But it was clear that her worries were unnecessary. Murong Feng had no intention of connecting her with Yu Qingli, the daughter of the Yu family. Although he was quite interested in this woman, since she was brought into the palace by Murong Cheng and his men, it was best not to provoke her. Who knew if this was a trap set by Murong Cheng? Or perhaps he was trying to plant a spy around him?
After thinking about it, Murong Feng pretended to say, "In that case, do you need me to have someone help you find it?"
Yu Qingli said repeatedly: "Don't bother your Highness. Since you didn't come here, I should go back."
After saying this, he bowed again somewhat stiffly, then turned around and left in a hurry.
Looking at the woman's slightly flustered figure, Murong Feng's eyes deepened. It seemed that his worries might be true. Has the prince begun to extend his tentacles into his own palace to test it?
A honey trap?! Humph! Don't underestimate Murong Feng!
It seems that it is time to report this matter to my mother so that she can take more precautions.
After leaving Si'an Palace, Yu Qingli relaxed a little. When she came to her senses, she was already sweating profusely. The autumn wind blew, and the chill penetrated her bones, making her involuntarily reach out and hug herself.
Feeling relieved, she couldn't help but feel ironic. At this moment, she even doubted whether Murong Feng's so-called love really existed. Perhaps it didn't exist from the beginning, otherwise, how could she not recognize it, even if she just felt that she had made a mistake.
It’s really ridiculous to think about it, and it also makes people sad. In the past and present life, I have never stayed in Murong Feng’s heart.
