After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 546 Another Trouble
The next morning, Yu Qingli took Xiluo to say goodbye to Bai Jinshu. Surprisingly, Murong Feng did not stop them, but he did not go back with them either. He just told them to be careful on the road and made an excuse that he had to stay for some things.
Of course Yu Qingli knew what he was talking about, but neither of them made it clear.
When they returned to the mansion, Yu Zhenzhen's face looked obviously unhappy, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her words, but Yu Qingli ignored her. What bothered her now was how to get rid of this underground city without anyone noticing.
However, just because Yu Qingli doesn't provoke others doesn't mean that others won't provoke her, such as the empress dowager who has always had a prejudice against her.
Yu Qingli was somewhat baffled by the Empress Dowager's summons. Apart from anything else, since Murong Feng and the others moved out, they had established their own household. Even Empress Li seldom let her into the palace, not to mention the Empress Dowager who had always disliked her.
However, despite her doubts, she still had to obey the imperial decree, so after receiving the imperial decree, Yu Qingli took Xiluo to the palace.
In fact, it was only a little over a month since she moved out of the palace, but returning to the palace again made Yu Qingli feel depressed. She took a long breath at the gate of the palace, and then followed the eunuchs who came to greet her to the Ci Xin Hall.
The layout of the Ci Xin Hall remained the same as before, with the lingering scent of sandalwood. The regular sound of wooden fish came from the Buddhist hall not far away. The knocking sounds lingered directly in the Ci Xin Hall, making Yu Qingli feel like she had walked into a royal temple.
Led by the eunuch, they entered the inner hall. On the high floor, Queen Mother Qin sat upright, her well-maintained face still expressionless. Qingluan was by her side as always, slightly respectful, yet with the arrogance of a head maid!
Yu Qingli's gaze fell on a palace maid in the Ci Xin Palace. Although she didn't come to the Ci Xin Palace often, she was somewhat familiar with the people inside. The most important thing was that she was vaguely familiar with the palace maid in front of her.
The palace maid looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with a cute oval face, a pair of big eyes, red lips, white teeth, and skin as white as snow. She was indeed a beautiful person, if you didn't investigate her identity.
Yu Qingli indifferently withdrew her gaze and respectfully saluted the empress dowager. She never looked at the palace maid again. She only had a vague strange feeling in her heart that this palace maid seemed to know her.
But after thinking about it, she felt relieved, although the look of that palace maid did make her very unhappy.
"sit down!"
Queen Mother Qin took a sip of tea, and her tone was not warm at all. However, Qingluan had already thoughtfully asked someone to prepare tea and snacks, and even brought them to Yu Qingli personally.
Yu Qingli nodded slightly, feeling deeply moved, but she also understood that Qingluan did this for Murong Yanhui's sake.
Queen Mother Qin's narrow eyes swept across Yu Qingli's face and she asked indifferently, "How is the princess these days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am doing fine."
Yu Qingli answered perfunctorily, feeling a little strange in her heart. When did the empress dowager start to care about her affairs?
Queen Mother Qin, however, seemed to be oblivious to her answer and continued, "After all, things outside the palace are not as good as those inside. Some things are always inferior. However, at your age, it is only natural for you to start your own business."
Yu Qingli lowered her head in silence, somewhat unable to fathom Queen Mother Qin's intentions. What was this all about? Was she summoned back just to give her a scolding?
Although she was puzzled, Yu Qingli did not show it on her face. She just continued to ask, "What has Feng'er been busy with these days?"
Yu Qingli hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Your Highness's official business, of course, I don't know. As for this private matter, Your Highness just went to Jinxiu Villa these past two days to prepare some clothes for the Empress."
"He is a filial son."
Queen Mother Qin's tone was filled with sarcasm and a hint of envy. She wondered if she was thinking of her own children. Both of them were born in the imperial palace, but why was one so good at planning, while the other was so worrying?
Yu Qingli frowned secretly. The attitude of Queen Mother Qin was indeed confusing. What exactly did she want to do?
However, no matter what she wanted to do, she just ignored it. Although she answered some of the Queen Mother's questions in a random manner, Yu Qingli was secretly complaining in her heart that this Queen Mother must be extremely boring. She had to ask her again and again about something that was clearly under her control.
Is this a preparation to temper his temper or a warning to himself?
No matter what the Queen Mother intended, she would not surrender.
Queen Mother Qin talked for a long time, but there was no response from Yu Qingli. Her face immediately darkened and she felt a little unhappy. She wanted to see the woman's submissive attitude, but she saw her arrogant side instead. She wondered if Hui'er liked her because of her cold and arrogant personality.
If this is true, I will suffer later!
Queen Mother Qin put down the cup in her hand, her face sullen, but her tone was filled with an innate coldness and arrogance, "Qingli, I asked you to come here today because I want you to take care of someone for me."
"Your Majesty, if you have any instructions, I will do my best."
"That's great, Shuyi, come here!"
The palace maid who had been standing silently by the side slowly stepped forward and respectfully saluted the empress dowager, with a hint of fear about the future on her pretty face.
Yu Qingli's eyelids twitched. She didn't know why, but the palace maid in front of her always made her feel very uneasy, and she trusted her intuition very much.
"This servant has met the eldest prince's wife. I have always heard that the princess is elegant and noble. Seeing her today, she is indeed like a banished immortal from the heavens."
"Miss Shuyi, you're too kind!"
Yu Qingli pretended to be polite to Shu Yi. Just then, she saw the coldness in Shu Yi's eyes. Could she have seen it wrong?
Sure enough, when his eyes fell on Shuyi's face again, he only saw weakness and caution.
However, Yu Qingli is not a fool. The Queen Mother definitely has no good intentions in sending someone to her for no reason. Judging from the appearance of this person, it is likely that the Queen Mother is using him to monitor her.
Yu Qingli sneered. She had no shortage of people like this around her, including the Queen's and Murong Feng's people. These people had already placed a lot of spies around her. Now she didn't care about having one more person from the Queen Mother. What's more, who could know whether the appearance of this person would be a turning point?
It would be best if they could fight each other!
Queen Mother Qin said sternly, "Qingli, although Shuyi has only been with me for a short time, she is very smart and well-behaved. If it weren't for my desire to secure a good future for her, I would be reluctant to part with her. When she arrives at the Prince's residence, you must not bully her, and you must not allow the other maids in the mansion to bully her either!"
"If the Queen Mother really can't bear to let her go, why not just keep her and let her out of the palace after a while?"
Yu Qingli pretended to be confused and spoke, secretly mocking herself in her heart, why bother to go through so many troubles if she wanted to plant a spy? Just say it directly.
Queen Mother Qin looked a little embarrassed and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but this girl was born with bad luck. If she stays in the palace for a long time, I'm afraid it will be very detrimental to her and the palace. If I am the only one who gets bumped, it won't be a big deal, but if the emperor is accidentally bumped, won't the whole country be in chaos?"
Yu Qingli's eyes darkened secretly. This lie was getting more and more outrageous. Xiluo on the side curled her lips uncomfortably. How could the empress dowager say such a thing?
It really affects people's three views.
Seeing that the Queen Mother was determined to put her by her side, Yu Qingli no longer hesitated. She was just a palace maid. Wouldn't it be her own decision how to arrange things for her once she entered the palace? Thinking of this, she was no longer so entangled.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. Since she is someone you value, I will certainly use her well and will not mistreat her."
"That's good, Shuyi. From today on, the Crown Prince's wife is your master. You must remember this firmly. After you leave the palace, you must never do whatever you want."
"Thank you for your reminder, Queen Mother. I will keep it in mind."
Yu Qingli watched the interaction between the master and servant and secretly found it funny. She glanced at the maid again. She looked good, but her eyes were slightly drooping. If she was smiling, it would be fine. But when she wasn't smiling, she looked a bit cruel. Coupled with the coldness in her eyes, she didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with. It seemed that she had to remind Xiluo and the others to pay more attention to this person!
But now, in front of the empress dowager, Yu Qingli didn't say anything. She just took the person back according to the rules. As for where to arrange him in the future, she had to think about it carefully.
When Yu Qingli returned home, it was already lunchtime. Murong Feng and Yu Zhenzhen were sitting opposite each other in the hall. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, which was quite a sight. It was a pity that the two of them had their own ulterior motives, which was really a pity.
When Murong Feng saw Yu Qingli returning with Xiluo, he quickly stood up from his chair, walked to Yu Qingli's side, and asked with concern, "Qingli, did your mother call you into the palace?"
Yu Qingli glanced at him calmly and said, "It's the Queen Mother."
Murong Feng frowned slightly, "Why did the Queen Mother call you into the palace?"
"Nothing, just a palace maid given to me as a reward."
Only then did Murong Feng notice another woman behind Yu Qingli with lowered eyebrows. She had red lips, white teeth, seductive eyes, and a unique charm. Unlike Yu Qingli's coldness and Yu Zhenzhen's gentleness, this woman seemed to be born with a kind of charm. Just a glance from her could make people stare at her infatuatedly.
When Shu Yi saw Murong Feng, her expression obviously changed. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Yu Qingli to catch it. The look she gave Murong Feng was filled with obsession, pain, and a hint of hatred, but in the end, it was all hidden in her lowered eyes, turning into a bit of tenderness.
