After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

Chapter 520: Saving Lin Yutang

Yu Qingli walked to Lin Yutang's bedside, stared at this aloof and scarred man, and sighed deeply.

“Mom, mom, don’t cry, don’t cry…” the man in the dream suddenly shouted, and a line of tears slowly fell down his bruised cheeks.

Before Yu Qingli could react, Lin Yutang grabbed her wrist. Xiluo was about to attack, but Yu Qingli stopped her.

Everyone is moved by the admiration for his mother. Moreover, Yu Qingli still clearly remembered the heart-wrenching pain of losing her mother in her previous life. She suddenly felt a sense of resonance with Lin Yutang.

This man helped me a lot in my previous life, but I never paid attention to him. When we met again in this life, I suddenly discovered that this seemingly strong man also had such a soft spot in his heart.

"Lin Yutang, if you don't cheer up, I'm afraid your mother will really cry uncontrollably." Yu Qingli said this lightly, but the unconscious Lin Yutang gradually calmed down.

Yu Qingli reached out and touched his forehead, then ordered, "Xiluo, go to the kitchen and bring up the freshly cooked porridge."

Xiluo got the hint from Murong Yanhui and looked at Lin Yutang, who didn't want to leave. Yu Qingli was not annoyed, but just looked back at Xiluo. Her eyes were calm and composed, which made Xiluo feel a little embarrassed.

"Miss, how about I take care of this person? If you don't return home, I'm afraid Murong Feng will get suspicious."

Yu Qingli seemed to be thinking about something, but she finally stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first."

Xiluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and prepared a carriage to send Yu Qingli back to the eldest prince's mansion.

As soon as Yu Qingli entered the mansion, she heard cheerful laughter coming from the side hall. It sounded like Yu Zhenzhen and Murong Feng. She paused for a moment and quickly changed her direction. With such a pleasant chat going on, she naturally wanted to take part in it, right?

As the footsteps got closer, the conversation between Yu Zhenzhen and Murong Feng became clearer.

Murong Feng's gentle voice seemed to try to calm his smile, and he praised seriously.

"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect you to be so humorous. I neglected you before. You won't blame me, right?"

Yu Zhenzhen's voice dropped noticeably, and then she spoke in a tone of deep understanding, "Zhenzhen understands Your Highness's difficulties. It's only natural for Your Highness to care for my sister. My sister has been separated from us since she was young, and we, the Yu family, owe her a debt. Moreover, my sister is very likable. She's only been here a few days, and many people have already invited her out for fun."

These words sounded like envy towards Yu Qingli, but in fact, they were full of mysteries. Yu Qingli at the door sneered. Yu Zhenzhen simply wanted to remind Murong Feng that she, Yu Zhenzhen, was the daughter that Yu Zhengsha cared about. Or perhaps she wanted to tell Murong Feng how fickle Yu Qingli was. She had already had private contact with many men right after leaving the palace.

Since the other party cared so much about her trip, how could she not explain it clearly? A smile appeared on Yu Qingli's lips, as brilliant and short-lived as the blooming of a night-blooming flower.

She walked into the hall leisurely, and glanced at the two people present with a calm expression.

Yu Zhenzhen seemed a little embarrassed and flustered by Yu Qingli's sudden appearance. The feeling of being caught talking bad about someone behind their back was really uncomfortable.

Yu Zhenzhen stood up in a panic, "Sister...you, you're back..."

"Ok!"

Yu Qingli responded softly, then saluted Murong Feng.

Murong Feng's eyes held suspicion, but it only flashed by for a moment. He pretended to be gentle and asked, "I heard from Zhenzhen that you've been very busy these past few days. No wonder I rarely see you in the mansion."

Yu Qingli's eyes were blazing. "You are right. I have been very busy these past few days, but the things I have been busy about should be of interest to Your Highness."

"Oh?"

Yu Qingli said seriously, "Your Highness, are you sure you want to talk about this now?"

Murong Feng was stunned for a moment, and made a decision almost instantly. He turned to Yu Zhenzhen and said, "Qingli and I have something important to discuss. You should leave first."

Yu Zhenzhen looked gloomy and glanced at Yu Qingli unwillingly. Then she bowed and turned away very reluctantly.

After walking out of the room, Yu Zhenzhen still felt depressed. She couldn't understand what kind of ability Yu Qingli had that could make Murong Feng pay so much attention to her and obey her every word.

Chun Yi, standing by, soothed her, "Your Majesty, this woman is too powerful to win a man's true love. Your Highness will only use her as a pawn, and when he's done using her, he'll naturally discard her. Furthermore, Yu Qingli may seem powerful, but in reality, she has no real abilities. The more secrets she knows now, the more miserable she'll be in the future."

Yu Zhenzhen glanced at her with a warning, "You must never say these words again. If someone hears them, won't it affect our sisterly relationship?"

Chun Yi curled her lips and thought to herself, I wonder who was the one who just slandered the prince's wife in front of His Highness? Now she is pretending to be so arrogant, and she really has inherited the true teachings of Prime Minister Yu.

After Yu Zhenzhen left, Murong Feng couldn't help but ask, "Qingli, what exactly did you say you were busy with recently?"

Yu Qingli smiled and said, "Your Highness, have you forgotten what kind of people are the most numerous in the Imperial Capital recently?"

"You mean... those students?"

"That's right, Your Highness said before that too many of the retainers in the palace are old and pedantic. Now that the imperial examinations are underway, countless students have gathered here, many of whom are talented and ambitious. If Your Highness ascends to the throne in the future, you will naturally need some capable ministers. I hope I can help Your Highness find these capable ministers!"

Murong Feng's eyes lit up, "Qingli, you are truly my confidant!

Yu Qingli smiled gently, "Your Highness, Your Highness and I are of one mind, how could I not know what Your Highness is thinking?"

Murong Feng thought to himself, thank goodness he hadn't left this woman aside. She was indeed clever and astute, able to guess even such subtle thoughts as his own. Great minds think alike, indeed! Now that he had this woman's help, why should he worry about failing to accomplish his great cause?

Seeing that Murong Feng had finally put aside his suspicions, Yu Qingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This way, even if Murong Feng knew about her meeting with Lin Yutang, it would not cause any trouble.

Now, I am just waiting for that person to wake up as soon as possible. Lin Yutang, please don’t let me down!

A faint aroma of porridge lingered in the air. There was a tent roof made of coarse cloth and a bed frame with simple carvings. A copper curtain hook hung on the corner of the frame. It had obviously been used for a long time and the copper hook was emitting a faint glow.

The air was filled with the scent of natural flowers and plants, there was the sound of sweeping outside the door, and the wind blew through the window lattice, making a rhythmic snapping sound. It was as quiet as a dream, making Lin Yutang wonder where he was for a moment.

He sat up, the pain in his chest and abdomen throbbing, and then he remembered the scene before he fainted. He had been rescued, but by whom?! In this part of the capital, he knew few people, and even those he did know were used to teasing him.

Lin Yutang, holding on to his weak body, ignored the bowl of tempting porridge on the table and walked towards the yard. However, his hand holding the door frame paused slightly. In the yard, there were shades of flowers and trees. Under the trees, a woman of extraordinary temperament was sitting at a stone table. She was reading a book with her head slightly lowered. The breeze lifted her hair and made it float around her distinct red and white lips, making her skin look even whiter than jade and her lips look like crimson. Her wide robe was simple and elegant, but it exuded an extraordinary charm.

Lin Yutang had never seen such an angel-like person. He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously exerted force on the hand holding the door frame, and with a "snap" sound, he broke a piece of driftwood.

Yu Qingli slowly raised her head and then smiled slightly. Lin Yutang felt that when this woman smiled, the world seemed to be dimmed.

"Are you awake? Have you seen the porridge on the table? Century egg and lean meat porridge is the best for nourishing the blood." The woman's voice was like the sound of nature, and Lin Yutang's face turned red.

He had never met this woman before, so why would she save him? However, at this moment, Lin Yutang suppressed this thought. He just wanted to be with this woman like this for a moment longer. Even if it was just one more moment, he would be willing to exchange ten years of his life for it.

Yu Qingli found it funny to see Lin Yutang so embarrassed. How could this man who dared to fight with Wang Shipan and was not afraid of death blush just because he spoke to her?

"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Yu Qingli stood up and walked towards Lin Yutang. He quickly took a step back and bowed respectfully at the threshold. "Thank you very much, young lady, for saving my life."

"It's just a small favor, why do you need such a big gift?" Yu Qingli handed over the bowl of porridge, "You should eat first."

Lin Yutang sat down with Yu Qingli, turned sideways awkwardly, and wolfed down a bowl of porridge.

"girl……"

"My last name is Yu." Yu Qingli interrupted Lin Yutang, "I think you know who hit you. Let's be frank. Wang Shipan is the nephew of the current Minister of Personnel. You can't afford to offend him, at least not right now."

Lin Yutang's face flushed red, his hands hung on his knees, tightly clutching the clothes on his knees, and he clenched his teeth but could not say anything.

"You should know that your only chance is this imperial examination. If you can become the top scorer, all the pain you have endured today will be redeemed."

"You will live here for the time being. I will send someone to check on you from time to time. You are young and strong, so I'll need you to take care of the old man living in the house next door."

"Also, I hope you can put aside all distractions during this period of time and study hard to get the degree." Yu Qingli said and slowly stood up.

Lin Yutang became anxious and grabbed her sleeve.

"How dare you!" Xiluo roared. Lin Yutang retracted his hand and his face became even redder.

"I'm sorry, but I have a question in my mind, and I hope Miss Yu can answer it." Lin Yutang lowered his head, his eyes falling on the exquisitely embroidered uppers of Yu Qingli's shoes.

Yu Qingli looked at Lin Yutang, thought for a moment and said, "A real man can bend and stretch. Please don't let me down again."

Lin Yutang was stunned when he heard this, and looked up at Yu Qingli. There was indeed some feeling between his eyebrows and eyes about the young man who answered the questions at the door of "Purple Air Coming from the East".
