Chapter 200 Revenge from Hell (2)
Chapter 200 Revenge from Hell (2)
After explaining the matter, Yu Qingli was about to leave. Xiao Liu hesitated and said, "Ms. Dongjia, if you still trust me, could you tell me about the trouble you've encountered? Perhaps I can solve it."
Yu Qingli paused, turned her head to look at Xiaoliu, and asked, "Do you know martial arts?!"
Xiao Liu didn't nod or shake his head. Could his skills be considered martial arts? Probably not.
Seeing Xiao Liu's silence, Yu Qingli continued, "For this transaction, I hope King Yan can send two experts to serve me. As for the conditions, I will definitely not let him down. Just tell him so."
Xiao Liu felt a little uneasy. He saw that Yu Qingli didn't look very good, and she was very wary of the maid beside her. He was afraid that this maid was also sent by someone to monitor her.
Yu Qingli had no intention of staying any longer, but suddenly paused as if she remembered something, "If he doesn't want to trade, please let me know."
"Yes, Miss Dong."
After notifying Xiaoliu, Yu Qingli returned to the Yu Mansion. In fact, she was just trying her luck. When Xiaoliu's identity was discovered, Yu Qingli thought that Xiaoliu would be taken away by Murong Yanhui, or at least, would not appear in front of her.
But she suddenly found herself puzzled. Why on earth did he keep the shop for her even though Murong Yan had returned? It was truly baffling. This man's behavior was the most unconventional of any person she had ever met.
However, Yu Qingli does not have the energy to deal with Murong Yanhui now. She just needs to make sure whether this person can become an ally.
The moment she saw Xiaoliu, Yu Qingli was almost certain of this. Her intuition told her that Murong Yanhui would definitely help her.
The conclusion came faster than Yu Qingli had imagined. When night fell that night, the strange yet familiar figure appeared in Liuli Residence.
"Lili..." The playful smile on his face seemed to show that Murong Yanhui was in a good mood at the moment.
Murong Yanhui was indeed very surprised. Murong Yuan had been pestering him for these days and he didn't even have the chance to leave the palace, let alone go find Yu Qingli. On the other hand, the words Yu Qingli said to him last time really made him very sad. His true heart was trampled upon like this, and Murong Yanhui was depressed for a long time.
In the moonlight, Murong Yanhui's handsome face was dim and unclear, appearing and disappearing, as charming and attractive as a real fairy. For some reason, when she saw this face again, Yu Qingli felt that a voice came from the depths of her heart, which made her feel very at ease and relaxed.
Is she relying on this man? !
Yu Qingli suddenly stood up straight, her back stiffening slightly. This realization made her break out in a cold sweat. How could it be possible? How could it be possible?!
Murong Yanhui was wearing a dark purple gold-plated robe today, which made his already evil face look even more profound and mysterious. His deep eyes sparkled with bright light like obsidian, even making the stars in the sky look a little less impressive.
From the moment he appeared, his eyes were fixed on Yu Qingli, making Yu Qingli feel unable to move, like a prey being targeted by a hunter.
"Your Highness, I am pressed for time. Why don't we just get straight to the point?"
Yu Qingli frowned and waved away the strange feeling in her heart.
Murong Yanhui sat down elegantly opposite her, supporting her head with one hand, "Lili, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Now that we meet, you don't even have a sip of water to drink. Isn't that a bit too much?"
She didn't know if it was because the night was too alluring, or because the low and melodious voice made Yu Qingli a little overwhelmed. Looking at Murong Yanhui's bright and charming eyes, she couldn't even think of a word of rebuttal.
With a cold face, she brought tea to Murong Yanhui and comforted herself in her heart that she had to ask for help from others after all, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Murong Yanhui smiled as brightly as a flower and reached out to take the teapot from Yu Qingli's hand. Her bony fingers touched Yu Qingli's fingertips vaguely, which made her feel inexplicably anxious. She suddenly pulled her hand away, her heart pounding.
What's going on?! It's only been a few days since I last saw Murong Yan, why is she so flustered?!
Murong Yanhui narrowed her eyes like a fox, her peach blossom eyes full of smiles. She poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp. "The tea Lili brought is delicious."
"Now, can I discuss the terms of the deal?"
Yu Qingli interrupted him. Although she was reluctant to drag Murong Yanhui into this, every time she encountered difficulties, she could not find anyone else to help her.
"Lili, do we still need to make a deal? As long as you need it, I will definitely do my best to help you."
"No reward without merit. If you don't agree to the deal, then just pretend I never said anything before."
Yu Qingli's face suddenly turned cold. This was her pride, and she would never allow anyone to trample on it.
Murong Yanhui sighed inwardly. Why was this woman always so strong-willed? But, wasn't that exactly why he liked her? Otherwise, how could his heart have fallen for her?
"Okay, Lili, tell me what kind of deal you want to make with me."
"I want to ask the prince for a guard, someone who will be loyal to me until death. In exchange, I will give you a promise. No matter what happens in the future, I will protect your life. How about it?!"
Murong Yan looked at Yu Qingli's face intently, then burst into laughter, "Hahaha..."
Yu Qingli frowned, looking a little unhappy, "You don't believe me?!"
"No, I'm just curious. Where do you get the confidence that I'll need you to save my life in the future?!"
Yu Qingli said solemnly, "I can't tell you this, but if you don't believe me, I can write a letter and I won't regret it!"
Seeing Yu Qingli's serious eyes, Murong Yan smiled back, but his eyes turned dangerous. "That's not necessary, but, Lili, you don't have to look down on me too much! No matter how bad I am, I won't be reduced to relying on a woman to save my life."
Yu Qingli said seriously: "You really don't believe me!"
Murong Yanhui also said seriously: "Lili, it is you who do not trust me. Do you think I cannot give you a bright future?"
Yu Qingli looked at Murong Yanhui with a complicated expression, she didn't know what to say.
For some reason, Yu Qingli often dreamed of a scene these days. In the dream, corpses were everywhere like hell, and Murong Yanhui was standing among the corpses in military uniform, covered in blood, with countless sharp arrows sticking out of his body.
In such dreams, Yu Qingli would often wake up suddenly, and after waking up, she would feel sweat all over her body. Although it was just a dream, she felt that the scene was so familiar, as if she had experienced it herself. Why was this so? This was clearly a dream about Murong Yanhui!
Yu Qingli vaguely recalled some things from her previous life. In the second year after she was banished to the cold palace, a border war broke out. Murong Feng, who was already the king of a country at that time, ordered Murong Yanhui to lead the troops to fight. After that, there was no news of Murong Yanhui.
I only vaguely heard the servants in the palace talking about how tragically the Prince of Yan died. Some also said that the Prince of Yan was framed to death.
In her previous life, all of this meant nothing to Yu Qingli at that time. She had been banished to the cold palace and had no great connection with the King of Yan. She just treated all of this as a joke.
If you can't even take care of your own life and death, how can you have the time to care about the life and death of others?!
Therefore, after her rebirth, Yu Qingli could never remember the ending of Prince Yan. It was because those days in the cold palace were too long and painful. She was so painful that she didn't want to recall it at all, even if it was just gossip that she heard to kill time at the time.
But it was different now. Although this Prince of Yan was a romantic and unrestrained man, and although this Prince of Yan was dandy and willful, for some reason, whenever she thought that the man in front of her would be shot to death by arrows, she felt as if there was a pair of big hands around her neck, tightly holding her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe comfortably.
Is it because she has been moved by this person's constant unreasonable behavior, or is it because she simply thinks that this person may still be of use in the future?
Regardless of the reason, Yu Qingli had to admit one thing: she didn't want Murong Yan to die!
"Lili, Lili..."
Yu Qingli came back to her senses and a handsome face suddenly appeared in front of her, making her take two steps back involuntarily, her face a little pale.
"Lili, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Murong Yan reached out to touch Yu Qingli's forehead, but she dodged him without a trace.
"Nothing, let's get down to business. Are you willing to make our deal?!"
Seeing the determination in Yu Qingli's eyes, Murong Yanhui knew that this woman wouldn't listen to anything he said. It was just a so-called promise after all, and who could predict the future?!
"Alright, I'll do as you say! But I'm a little confused. Lili, why did you think of asking me for protection?"
Murong Yanhui did not expect Yu Qingli to answer, thinking that she would probably remain silent and just get by.
Unexpectedly, Yu Qingli lowered her head and said lightly: "Your people are more reliable."
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly curved like crescent moons, revealing her white teeth. Murong Yanhui was in an extremely good mood at this moment. Did this mean that she finally had some status in Lili's heart?!
Yu Qingli glanced at Murong Yanhui calmly, and saw what he was thinking. She continued, "Don't get me wrong. I just think the guards around you should be good at martial arts. That's all."
Yu Qingli's explanation made Murong Yanhui's smile deepen. "Lili, are you trying to hide something?"
Murong Yan would automatically filter out words he didn't want to hear. To him, Yu Qingli's words were an affirmation of him.
The white teeth made Yu Qingli dizzy. She couldn't explain it to him anyway, so Yu Qingli simply said nothing and waited for him to speak.
After showing off for a long time, Murong Yanhui finally remembered the important matter, "Lili, how about I bring the person to you at the same time tomorrow?"
It seems that this means the transaction was successful, but it will be a little late tomorrow night.
Yu Qingli frowned, "Can't we go a little earlier? I need them for something urgent."
Murong Yanhui was stunned for a moment, "Okay, wait a moment! I'll be right back!"
