Chapter 357 Two-faced Man
Yu Qingli felt vaguely uneasy, but couldn't put her finger on what was wrong. The man before her was clearly Murong Feng, yet he didn't look like Murong Feng. He lacked the sanctimonious airs of a gentleman! He had even forgotten to pretend to be gentle, which was absolutely impossible for Murong Feng.
Seeing the doubt in Yu Qingli's eyes, Murong Feng laughed. "Yu Qingli, you are indeed smart and worthy of being the most talented woman in the world. Let me tell you, I am Murong Feng. I am him, but also not him. To be precise, I actually hate Murong Feng's gentleness and weakness. If you want to survive in this palace, you should naturally use ruthless means. But what can that idiot do? Of course, his brain can still be used, but does a coward with all means but no courage want to survive in this palace?"
The more Yu Qingli listened, the more frightened she became. In her previous life, she only thought that Murong Feng was hypocritical. He appeared to be gentle and kind on the surface, but was actually ruthless in his actions. But now, she suddenly wasn't sure. Was the man who had abandoned her like a piece of grass really the Murong Feng she knew?
If it was the current Murong Feng, it would be more believable.
Murong Feng took a step forward, a dark flame ignited in his deep eyes. "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. If you hadn't rejected me time and again, how could that coward give up on himself, and how could I have gotten out? But don't worry, soon, I will completely occupy this body and become a true Crown Prince!"
Yu Qingli took a step back, obviously shocked by this incident. She just thought that Murong Feng was heartless and had forgotten their original vows, but she didn't expect that now it was clear that the original Murong Feng had been completely replaced by someone else.
Yu Qingli knew that this was a disease!
This disease was even recorded in the medical book that Yu Qingli had just read not long ago. The cause was probably that a person began to hate and dislike his own personality, or it might be due to some external stimulation. The result was that this person would become another person. At first it might just be an imagination, but the longer the time, it might become a reality.
Yu Qingli looked a little flustered and uneasy about this sudden situation. If the situation was really as she thought, then the Murong Feng in front of her was probably another self that Murong Feng imagined. Although she shared a body with Murong Feng, she had a completely different temperament from him.
"Murong Feng, you..."
"Yu Qingli, I don't like that name. After I regained consciousness, I chose another name for myself. You can call me Wang!"
Yu Qingli didn't say anything. She was trying to calm herself down. In her two lives, she had guessed a lot of things, but she had never been so overwhelmed by the emotions she felt when she knew the truth.
Looking at Yu Qingli's unpredictable but quickly calming expression, Murong Feng in front of him looked very satisfied, "It seems that Murong Feng has a pretty good eye for people."
"Is this a compliment? Well, thank you so much!" Yu Qingli said sarcastically.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
Murong Feng in front of him was suddenly confused. Why did this weak woman accept his existence so quickly? Even Murong Feng himself took a long time to believe that he existed.
"What if I believe it? What if I don't? You already exist, don't you?"
Yu Qingli murmured in a low voice. What's more, even if she didn't believe it, it wouldn't change anything. To put it bluntly, if it was in her previous life, she would never believe such an incredible thing that a person could transform himself into two people with completely different personalities. However, after experiencing rebirth, she naturally would not be fooled by appearances.
Yu Qingli was speechless. She really couldn't pronounce the name. While she was hesitating, Murong Feng continued, "Yu Qingli, how about we make a deal?"
Yu Qingli raised her eyes, "You say!"
"I don't care whether you have any relationship with Murong Cheng or not, but I can tell you clearly that I will definitely take the throne!"
Yu Qingli's eyes flickered, "So?"
"I want you to help me!"
Before Yu Qingli could speak, Murong Feng continued, "What I want is not your perfunctory response. It's okay for you to tell me when you've made up your mind. What I want is your sincere surrender!"
Yu Qingli raised her eyebrows. "Do I have any other choice? Even if it's for Brother Feng, I have to do this, right?"
"Humph! Don't think I don't know, do you really like Murong Feng?"
"How do you know I don't like him?"
"I am him. How do you think I know?" the other party answered frankly.
Yu Qingli lowered her eyes. "Isn't this the time to discuss this? Since you want me to help you, you should tell me what benefits I can get. You know, I'm a businessman, so I have to consider everything from this perspective."
"That's true. Why don't you tell me what you want?"
Yu Qingli suddenly fell silent, and after a while she said, "I haven't thought about it yet. When I do, I'll ask you again."
"Is this an empty promise? What if you asked me what I wanted, the kingdom?"
Yu Qingli snorted coldly, "If I want this kingdom, do I need to ask you?"
The arrogance in his tone made Murong Feng burst out laughing, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Okay! I promise you!"
"I don't believe you! Words are useless. What if I help you succeed in the future and you turn against me? What should I do?"
"You're indeed astute!" Murong Feng pulled out a small, ring-shaped blood jade from his chest. "This is something I carry with me. How about using it as proof today?"
Yu Qingli seemed a little dissatisfied and threw the blood jade next to Murong Feng. "It's just a dead thing. If you refuse to pay me in the future, can this jade still defend me?"
Murong Feng's expression turned cold, "What exactly do you want?"
Yu Qingli remained calm, stood up, took the wolf-hair brush, and her beautiful handwriting spread out in front of Murong Feng's eyes. Her handwriting reflected her personality. Looking at Yu Qingli's handwriting, it was beautiful yet firm and cold, and she wrote down the agreement between them in just a moment.
Yu Qingli blew on the paper that was still wet with ink and placed it in front of Murong Feng. "Sign and seal!"
"you!"
"What? You don't dare? Or was it just some nonsense you just made up? If so, I'll burn this thing!"
Yu Qingli was about to throw the note into the brazier in the room, but Murong Feng intercepted her midway and actually signed and sealed it! It was really surprising that there was no hesitation at all.
It seems that Murong Feng's temperament is indeed much more decisive than the other one! Although he is also much colder!
Yu Qingli's tongue was full of questions, but she curled it up and then pushed it back down. She couldn't ask, and she didn't know how to ask. Was it Murong Feng in her previous life who had banished her to the cold palace? But she didn't believe that Murong Feng knew nothing! They were the same person!
The hatred in Yu Qingli's heart did not change at all because of the accident she learned about today. The damage had already been done. Regardless of whether it was Murong Feng's original intention or not, he did not stop it, right?
What's more, he was the one who killed their child with his own hands. Although some women also contributed to this, things would not have gone so smoothly without his approval.
Therefore, what she does will not change, except that now she has to deal with two people instead of one!
The two reached an agreement. Murong Feng turned his head to look at the woman beside him. She was beautiful and calm, but so fragile that one hand could break her neck. However, she was arrogant and conceited. Judging from her methods, she should be able to help him.
"How about walking with me?"
Yu Qingli glanced at him and said, "With great pleasure!"
The two men walked out of the hall one after the other. When they reached the door, Murong Feng, who was walking in front, suddenly stumbled for some reason. If he had not grabbed the door frame in time, he would have almost fallen to the ground.
Yu Qingli took a step forward and asked with concern: "Your Highness, you..."
Murong Feng stood up again, his eyes were as gentle as water and as warm as jade, and there was a hint of guilt on his handsome face. Yu Qingli looked at Murong Feng like this, and she knew that the gentle man was back!
"Qingli, I'm sorry..."
Yu Qingli frowned, considering the most appropriate words, "Do you know what happened just now?"
Although the words were questionable, the tone was very affirmative.
Murong Feng lowered his head and said nothing. Yu Qingli did not urge him. She had learned too many secrets and shocks today. She really needed to think carefully!
"Actually, I just found out about this not long ago. Ever since I was stripped of my crown prince position and spent three months in the imperial mausoleum, I've been having dreams. In my dreams, I'm not the same as I am now. I'm even colder, more powerful, and more decisive. But gradually, I found that these dreams are becoming more and more real. A person who looks exactly like me even appeared. He told me that in my world, he is the king!"
Yu Qingli did not interrupt him. They stood on the corridor outside the palace, and what they saw was a bleak scenery. The cold wind of late autumn already had the chill of winter, but Murong Feng's figure unexpectedly made people feel a little lonely.
However, she is no longer the Yu Qingli of the past. Her heart seems to have been given to another person without her realizing it!
Murong Feng continued, "Until one day a year ago, I suddenly realized that I had completely transformed into another person. Or rather, there was another person living in my body. He met all my wishes and requirements and became a cold and powerful being."
"So you accepted him?"
Murong Feng turned his head to look at Yu Qingli, "Qingli, whether I accept it or not, he will show up, and now, my time is equal to his!"
Yu Qingli was a little surprised. When she looked up, she saw a trace of bitterness in Murong Feng's eyes. "Qingli, if one day this body is completely occupied by him, I hope you can do me a favor!"
