Murong Yanhui stared at the woman in front of him, and couldn't help but cheer for her in his heart, but he was also a little confused. He was sure that he was not mistaken. He could see the overwhelming hatred and deliberately concealed disgust in Yu Qingli's eyes every time Murong Feng appeared, but why did her behavior go against her own heart?

Yu Qingli's eyes were bright and shining, "Your Highness, do you still have a heart?"

Looking at those glass-like eyes, Murong Yanhui loosened his grip and laughed out loud. This woman's words were really sharp but touching.

"That's quite well said, Lili. If I remember correctly, you seem to owe me a lot of favors."

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask for it now?"

Yu Qingli was obviously happy, yes, happy. She really hoped that Murong Yanhui could ask for the so-called favor back as soon as possible. In this world, favors are the hardest to repay.

Murong Yanhui lowered his eyes. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be very much looking forward to this matter. This made him hesitate. He really didn't want to let her get away with it so easily! However, he was in a good mood today, so he decided to satisfy this woman's wishes a little. After all, as long as he wanted, he could always make her owe him a favor.

It seems that this woman's troubles never stop.

So Murong Yan nodded back, "If you say so, then so be it."

Yu Qingli's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed again, and she said seriously, "Not today!"

Murong Yanhui was a little surprised. This woman really wanted to repay his favor as soon as possible, so why did she refuse the chance after being given one?! It was really strange.

Yu Qingli had her own considerations for rejecting Murong Yanhui. Judging from Murong Yanhui's performance today, he obviously wanted her to cooperate with him in putting on a good show, but at this moment Yu Qingli really couldn't sacrifice her beauty to fulfill Murong Yanhui's wish.

This beauty was used to seduce Murong Feng. If she used it carelessly, her plan would be ruined. Moreover, Yu Qingli began to worry that if Murong Yan continued to express her interest in her, Murong Feng would withdraw on his own initiative.

Yu Qingli knew Murong Feng very well. Although he was ambitious, he lacked courage. He was very cautious and would not do anything that would endanger himself.

Sometimes, Yu Qingli even felt that this person was like a turtle that had been practicing for thousands of years. He had a lot of ideas but never revealed them easily. As soon as he sensed danger, he would retract his body into the turtle shell.

Therefore, Yu Qingli could not let Murong Feng think that Murong Yanhui was determined to get her. If so, he would probably give her up directly.

Yu Qingli would never let such a thing happen, otherwise, all her arrangements would be meaningless.

Murong Yanhui stared at Yu Qingli's eyes closely. As their eyes met, he vaguely knew what Yu Qingli was thinking. Don't ask him how he knew it. In short, he could see it from her eyes.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips. "So, do you want me to help you?"

Yu Qingli was stunned. This person knew what she was going to do? However, this was her own business, and she didn't want to involve too many people.

"No need!"

Murong Feng and the others didn't know what Yu Qingli and the other person were doing in the cabin, so he was somewhat anxious and ordered Qiu Hen to quickly row the boat towards the boat where Yu Qingli and the others were.

Before the boat got closer, Murong Yanhui's angry voice was heard from the cabin where Yu Qingli and the others were.

"I'm honoring you, don't be ungrateful! No woman has ever dared to reject me like this, Yu Qingli. If it weren't for your good looks, I wouldn't bother wasting my time with you!"

Murong Feng on the flower boat was stunned when he heard this. Did Yu Qingli anger Murong Yanhui?

The cold voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "Your Highness is right. How could a humble girl like me catch your eye? So, please let me go."

Then there was the sound of a wine glass being smashed, "Get lost! The king doesn't want to see you today!"

Murong Feng was startled and ordered Qiu Hen to bring the boat closer. Mei Hong on the boat was extremely worried. "What on earth has happened? Is the young lady being bullied?"

As the flower boat got closer, Yu Qingli's voice became clearer, "Yes, in that case, I hope Your Majesty can bring the boat to shore so that Qingli can get off."

"Hmph!" A cold laugh was followed by Murong Yan's playful response. "You think I'll let you go so easily just because you've offended me? You want to get off the boat? Sure, but I don't want you to dirty my boat! You only have two choices now: jump off yourself, or be kicked off by me!"

When Murong Feng on the boat heard this, he felt more and more that Murong Yanhui might have gone too far. He was so ungraceful to a woman. It seemed that the rumors in the market were really true.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Qingli can do it herself!"

Immediately afterwards, Murong Feng heard a loud "plop" sound, and the splashing water directly hit his face. Before he could even see the situation clearly, he saw a graceful figure falling into the water.

"Miss!"

Mei Hong's screams immediately rang in Murong Feng's ears, leaving him no time to think. He could only order Qiu Hen, "Hurry up and save them!"

Qiu Hen jumped into the water. Fortunately, it was a sunny day today and the lake was very calm with almost no waves. So, in just a moment, Yu Qingli was fished out.

Murong Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly taking off his outer robe and stepping forward to wrap up the soaking wet Yu Qingli. He then looked at Murong Yanhui, who was on the boat not far away. He was watching the scene coldly and even shouted at Murong Feng, "Such an ungrateful woman, I don't want her anymore! If you like her, I'll give her to you!"

Murong Feng clenched his fists, feeling inexplicably annoyed. It might not be too much for Murong Yanhui to treat a woman like this. He had only heard that Murong Yanhui had an erratic temper before, but he did not expect that after seeing him today, he was even more certain of the rumor. As expected, he was a fool!

Murong Feng no longer cared about Murong Yanhui. What he cared about at this moment was Yu Qingli in front of him.

Although it was early summer, the water temperature in the lake was still a bit chilly. Yu Qingli, who was pulled out of the water, was now pale, even her lips were a faint purple, and her whole body seemed to be trembling.

"Qingli, are you okay?" Murong Feng asked in a low voice, his expression full of concern and worry.

Seeing that Yu Qingli hadn't opened her eyes for a long time, Murong Feng ordered: "Qiu Hen, start the boat and take the young lady back home!"

"Don't go back home!"

Yu Qingli slowly opened her eyes with her delicate hands grabbing the corner of Murong Feng's clothes. At this moment, Yu Qingli was very weak. The wet clothes wrapped around her graceful body made her look even more fragile.

Mei Hong, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly and said, "Young lady is right. We can't go back home now. If the master sees us, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Murong Feng nodded slightly, "Alright, but it's better to ask a doctor to check it out. If you catch a cold, it will be bad."

As Murong Feng spoke, he ordered Qiu Hen to slowly move the boat towards the shore. This kind of flower boat was specially used for lake cruises. Unlike ordinary boats, it did not have a hidden cabin, so it was not convenient to change clothes.

Taking this into consideration, Murong Feng and his group went ashore as quickly as possible and booked a room in the nearest inn.

Murong Feng picked up Yu Qingli by the waist. Even though they were wearing clothes, Yu Qingli still felt her stomach churning. However, she knew that she could not show it. She had to slowly get familiar with this necessary physical contact. Before she could take revenge,

It is unavoidable.

Yu Qingli quickly changed her clothes. To be on the safe side, Murong Feng asked Qiu Hen to call a doctor.

"Your Highness, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Qingli is fine."

Yu Qingli, who had changed into a plain dress, exuded an indescribable beauty and elegance.

Murong Feng had never seen any woman with this feeling. This kind of purity was mixed with a hint of maturity, and also vaguely revealed a different kind of indifference. This woman was simply like the best tea, the more you tasted it, the more beautiful it felt.

"Qingli, what happened just now? Why did you fall into the water?"

Yu Qingli lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes drooping, with a hint of shyness and determination, "Actually, I jumped into the water by myself."

Murong Feng was stunned. Thinking of what he had heard before, he was still confused. What on earth had happened between them? Why did Yu Qingli react so violently?

"Qingli, why are you doing this?"

"Your Highness, although Qingli is a woman, she knows to keep her promises. Qingli remembers that two years ago, she promised Your Highness that she would not marry anyone other than Your Highness. Naturally, she cannot let another man take advantage of her."

Yu Qingli's serious face and strong and noble appearance made Murong Feng feel a little awed. He was deeply moved by the infatuation of such a woman towards him.

He reached out and held Yu Qingli's hand, "Three thousand rivers of water, but I only take a sip!"

The determination and seriousness in his eyes broke Yu Qingli's heart. It was this tone, this look, and these simple words that had captured her heart without any difficulty in her previous life.

Yu Qingli almost found it funny. How could she be so naive in her previous life to actually believe in this illusory oath? Even after discovering the relationship between Mei Hong and Murong Feng, she was still fantasizing that one day Murong Feng would remember his oath again, and all of this was just an accident.

It was not until she was banished to the cold palace and spent so many painful years that Yu Qingli almost woke up, but by then, everything was too late.

She lost everything: her prominent position, her stunning beauty, even her precious life and her only child.

Yu Qingli's expression was very complicated, and she had to restrain herself a lot to reduce the hatred a little.

Seeing Yu Qingli's expression, Murong Feng frowned slightly, "Why? Qingli, you don't believe it?"

Her smile was like the blooming spring flowers in March, and Yu Qingli's eyes were filled with joy. "How could I not believe it?"
