After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 526 The Unlucky Prefect
Yu Qingli nodded. Although she was not proficient in medicine, she had read a lot of medical books. This method was indeed strange and very dangerous. No one would try it unless it was absolutely necessary.
Ye Lixue's expression was gloomy. "I consider myself extremely wealthy, yet I can't even save the life of the one I love. I feel so disheartened. I don't want Ying'er to endure the pain of a blood transfusion, but I also don't want to see her die in vain. After much pleading, the old doctor finally told me that there is a treasure in this world that can completely remove the toxins from Ying'er's body, but it's something that is absolutely impossible for anyone without the right opportunity to obtain."
"This thing is the blood toad!" Murong Yanhui took over the conversation and said, "After I learned about Brother Ye's troubles, I remembered that you seemed to have this thing with you before, so..."
After hearing the whole story, Yu Qingli couldn't help but sigh. In her previous life, Chen Ying had always been in poor health and died of depression not long after the prince was imprisoned. Now, she had a chance to make up for it, and Yu Qingli naturally didn't want to miss it.
"I see, I do have this thing with me."
"Then please make an offer, Miss!" Ye Lixue spoke again.
Yu Qingli glanced at him calmly. "Things have a price, but friendship is priceless! The brotherhood between you and the prince is priceless, and your feelings for Miss Chen are equally priceless. So, Qingli would like to use this as a meeting gift. How about making friends with you all?"
Ye Lixue was stunned, and everyone except Murong Yanhui was also stunned, but then everyone smiled at each other. Such friends are definitely worth making friends with!
Ye Lixue picked up the wine glass on the table and said gratefully, "I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! If you need help in the future, I will definitely be there to help you!"
"In fact, Qingli has never thanked Master Ye for his help in Dongtang. Now that I can help you, it can be regarded as a small token of my gratitude."
"Alright, alright, in that case, you all need to stop being polite. It's a rare occasion for us to get together today, so don't spoil the fun. Linlang, I heard you just brewed some plum blossom wine, and I'm really craving it. I won't leave until I'm drunk!"
Qu Linlang smiled helplessly and said, "Your Highness, you're really putting me in a difficult position. This plum blossom wine was just buried the day before yesterday. You can't just take it out and drink it today, right? Besides, Your Highness, you can't get drunk these few days. Didn't you say you have important matters to attend to?"
"I apologize for my momentary loss of composure."
Everyone laughed at once, and for the following time, the six of them had a very enjoyable chat. If Yu Qingli had not had to return home, they would have felt a little reluctant to leave.
After everyone had left, Murong Yanhui personally sent Yu Qingli back home. The carriage was bumpy all the way, but Murong Yanhui took out two small clay figures from his arms. Looking at them in the moonlight, the clay figures were lifelike, one male and one female, clearly replicas of Murong Yanhui and Yu Qingli.
Yu Qingli took the clay figurine and said, "This is..."
"Do you like it?"
"Did you make this yourself? Why did you suddenly want to do this?"
"Lili, haven't you heard the saying, 'Take a piece of clay, knead you, and mold me. Break us both, mix with water. Knead you again, and mold me again. You are in my clay, and I am in your clay.'"
Yu Qingli's ears turned red, and even the clay figure in her hand felt a little hot. They were really in love with each other, and their love was so deep that it was as hot as fire.
"Lili, happy birthday."
As soon as Murong Yan replied, Yu Qingli suddenly realized. She wondered why this person suddenly took her to the Beauty Shop today, but she didn't expect it was to celebrate her birthday. Even she almost forgot about it, but this person still remembered it.
At this moment, Yu Qingli gently snuggled into Murong Yanhui's arms, the satisfaction in her heart beyond words.
Being able to meet Murong Yanhui in this life is a blessing from God.
Murong Yan hugged Yu Qingli tightly. Neither of them said anything, but they both knew clearly that in this life, each other was their only one.
At the first light of dawn, a terrifying cry came from the government office, startling the portly prefect so much that he rolled over and fell to the foot of the bed.
"What are you yelling about? Did you see a ghost so early in the morning?!"
"Master, don't you think there's a ghost on this window?"
The two blood-red handprints on the window were shocking to the eyes. The prefect jumped up and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Someone come! Someone come!!" The sharp shouts fell into the courtyard, but it was like a stone thrown into the sea, with no response at all.
The prefect mustered up the courage to open the door, and immediately gasped. The yard was filled with yamen runners and servants lying all over the place, and a chill immediately ran up from his heels to his head.
"Hurry up and get a basin of water." The prefect pushed the woman beside him, and the woman twisted her waist and went to get water impatiently.
The water was poured all over the yamen runners, and the government office gradually became lively. After some investigation, the prefect became more and more confused.
Nothing was lost, no notes were left, no jailbreak took place, no prisoners escaped, and there was no loss at all. What on earth was going on?
The prefect sat in the courtyard with his cheeks propped up, groaning and mumbling, unable to understand. At this moment, a bailiff came running in, "Sir, this is bad!"
"What's wrong?" the prefect asked lazily.
"The eldest prince sent someone to ask why the case files had not yet been sent to the Ministry of Justice."
The prefect was stunned for a moment, then quickly flipped through a few pages of paper and said, "Quick, send it quietly and tell the eldest prince that it was delivered yesterday."
The bailiff nodded and left. The prefect sighed and continued to stare at the two bloody handprints on the window in a daze.
After a while, the bailiff came in again. Before he could say anything, the prefect angrily asked, "What happened again?"
The bailiff took a few breaths before saying, "Someone has filed a complaint with the emperor, alleging that you, sir, have detained scholars for the imperial examinations. Now, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is bringing his men here!"
"What?!" The prefect was furious and felt overwhelmed.
"Hurry, hurry, change clothes for the master and go to welcome the prince." When the prefect hurriedly changed his clothes and ran to the gate of the government office, Murong Yanhui was already standing there with his hands behind his back.
"I am late in coming to greet you, Your Highness, and I hope you will forgive me." The prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking in his heart that after seeing off Prince Yan, he must ask a Feng Shui master to take a look to see if he had offended any unlucky star recently!
"Rise. I've come here today on His Majesty's orders." Murong Yanhui said calmly, "I heard that the eldest prince has apprehended the murderer of yesterday's murder case?"
"Exactly. That man is Boss Sha from the Sea Shark Sect."
"Now that the case is closed, we need to deal with it as quickly as possible. With the scientific expedition approaching, stability is paramount."
"As you command, as you command." The prefect nodded vigorously. "The case files have been submitted. The witness, Mr. Lin, was only invited by you to assist in the investigation. I absolutely did not detain him without authorization."
"That's good." Murong Yanhui said and turned to leave, without entering the government office from beginning to end.
After respectfully seeing Murong Yan off, the prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead and wondered what kind of background Lin Yutang had that he could actually employ the current prince!
"What about Lin Yutang?"
"Yes, yes, in the prison." The bailiff stammered, his face looking very bad.
In the prison, Lin Yutang sat calmly with his eyes closed. Beside him lay the dead man, his face hidden by his outer robe.
The prefect watched all this with a sullen expression. He turned around and slapped the bailiff on the cheek, "How can you let Master Lin stay in a place like this?! Didn't I order you to treat him well?! Master Lin isn't a criminal; he's here to assist in the investigation..."
Lin Yutang slowly opened his eyes upon hearing this and said indifferently, "Sir, is the case closed? If so, can I leave now?"
The prefect kicked the yamen runner on the butt and said, "Open the door quickly! Please come out, young master!"
The yamen runner didn't dare to say a word. He opened the door respectfully and glanced at Lin Yutang in panic. But when he saw Lin Yutang smiling at him, his scalp suddenly tingled and he almost fell to the ground.
Lin Yutang glanced at him with contempt, picked up the man on the ground and strode out of the prison with his head held high.
"This man and I hit it off right away. He died of a sudden illness last night. Before he died, he asked me to send his ashes back to his hometown. Your Excellency the Prefect..." Lin Yutang glanced at the Prefect, who nodded hurriedly, "As you should, as you should."
In this way, Lin Yutang walked out of the prison with confidence. However, after just one night, he was no longer the same person. From today on, he would hide himself in this dirty capital to find his own place and help the poor people when he had the chance.
Lin Yutang looked up at the clear blue sky, but his heart was filled with desolation.
"Young Master, let's go back." A man who looked like a servant came forward, lowering his head and looking submissive, as if he didn't notice Lin Yutang and the person on his back.
Lin Yutang took a deep breath, Yu Qingli's face flashed before his eyes, and he solemnly uttered two words, "Go home!"
……
"Miss, this Lin Yutang seems a little different." Xiluo lowered the curtain and retreated into the carriage, "But I can't tell exactly what's different."
Yu Qingli smiled faintly and asked, "Did you tell the Crown Princess?"
"I brought it. She said she would let you see the imperial edict today." Xiluo asked doubtfully, "Miss, this is from both His Majesty and the Crown Princess. What are you trying to do?"
"The fox pretends to be the tiger's power."
"Last time, we were just trying to scare the tiger out of its wits. This time, we're just using the tiger's power to bully others. Tigers are really complicated." Xiluo chuckled, "But Miss, you must have a plan in mind, right?"
Yu Qingli smiled and lifted the side curtain, just in time to see a person quickly disappearing around the corner. That was someone close to Murong Feng. When this person brought back the news, he would probably be unable to sit still again, right?
Lin Yutang was released by Murong Yanhui himself. So, could there be any connection between Lin Yutang and Murong Yanhui? Would Lin Yutang tell Murong Yanhui everything he knew? And why would His Majesty be so concerned about this matter?
Murong Feng would never have thought even if he scratched his head that all this was just a trap set by him.
