Chapter 181 To save Prince Su, Luo'er loses her innocence again (Revised)

Li Qingluo, emboldened by his audacity, also stripped Prince Su bare.

Anyway, he's half-dead now and knows nothing.

Of course, she also left him a pair of long underpants as a final cover-up.

It wasn't for the sake of fairness, but because taking off his clothes would allow him to better absorb the heat from his own body at that moment.

As for the clothes that had been taken off, they were all used as a blanket on top.

The fire inside the cave was burning brightly.

The firelight illuminated her, casting her shapely, slender, and healthy figure on the wall.

Without further hesitation, Li Qingluo snuggled into Duan Rongshi's arms.

Li Qingluo naturally felt ashamed as well.

Seeing a young and strong man's body for the first time, she couldn't help but feel shy, so she almost kept her eyes closed the whole time.

Duan Rongshi's cool skin made Li Qinglu involuntarily shiver.

She felt as if she were holding a corpse...

That's so weird!

She quickly wrapped her arms and legs tightly around Duan Rongshi and pressed her face against his neck.

Even after feeling Duan Rongshi's still slightly throbbing meridians, her tension did not ease for a moment.

Li Qinglu blushed uncontrollably when her lips accidentally brushed against Prince Su's skin.

"I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you... cough, my mistake!"

Perhaps feeling that being face-to-face was too intimate, she slowly turned around and pressed her back against Prince Su's chest.

Gradually, she began to sweat uncontrollably, and her body grew hotter and hotter, but Prince Su behind her showed no improvement.

Li Qinglu was filled with doubt. Could it be that this method would also be ineffective?

Is that not the case? Will he continue to fade into obscurity?

Li Qingluo's heart pounded with nervousness. Just as she was about to get up and take another look at Prince Su, the person behind her suddenly moved.

Did he just move slightly while chasing her?

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

She thought he had woken up, but after calling him for a long time, there was still no response.

Was it her imagination?

No, it should be that although he was not conscious, his subconscious was still involuntarily absorbing her body heat!

Li Qingluo was overjoyed: "Perhaps there really is hope?"

She lay down completely again, and this time simply pulled him tightly into her arms.

"Prince Su, Prince Su, I've sacrificed so much to save you, you must come back to life!"

"Consider it repayment for the many times you saved me before."

“I remember everything: the time at Qingsong Temple, the time on the Qinhuai River, and the time at Qishan…”

"Sigh... This time, I've even abandoned all the propriety and shame that women should have. Although my innocence and reputation aren't that important to me, from now on, I can no longer righteously call Li Qingzhu shameless. Do you know how big of a loss that is?"

"But if it can really save your life, then it's all worth it."

"From now on, the two of us can be considered to have repaid each other's debts of gratitude."

While murmuring to himself, Li Qingluo was drenched in sweat.

Being so close to Prince Su, I actually felt a slight coolness...

By daybreak, Li Qingluo had finally woken up from a nap and quickly checked Prince Su's forehead, only to find that his temperature had returned to normal!

The fire nearby had long since gone out.

It got cold inside the cave again.

Fortunately, Prince Su survived the crisis once again. Li Qingluo could not hide his joy and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, I've finally saved my life for the time being."

"I wonder if, after these two brushes with death, he will still be as clever as before when he wakes up?"

"Well, we can only leave everything to fate."

After saying that, she quickly got up and put on her clothes, and then rekindled the fire.

Then, he went out to wash his face, preparing to hunt some game to eat that day.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she left the cave, the person who had kept their eyes closed suddenly opened them.

Li Qingluo caught a pheasant and brought it back.

She first killed the chicken by the river, then cleaned its internal organs thoroughly before carrying it inside and placing it on the fire to singe off its feathers.

The stench of burnt hair instantly filled the entire cave, but she seemed oblivious, continuing to pound herbs and process vanilla with undivided attention.

Occasionally, they would turn the pheasant over and continue burning the feathers on the other side.

Soon, the hair was almost completely burned off, and Li Qingluo smelled the aroma of meat.

"Wait! Don't rush, it's not your turn to get to know it yet!"

After she finished speaking, she grabbed the chicken by the head and pulled it up. Just as she was about to get up and go out to clean the pheasant's charred body again, she inadvertently looked up and glanced at the spot where Prince Su was lying.

Upon looking up, I was met with a pair of clear, cold, open eyes!

Li Qingluo: "Ah—!!"

She was so frightened that she dropped the pheasant in her hand into the fire. Then, disregarding the fact that it was already burning off, she quickly bent down and fished the pheasant out, which she had managed to burn off its feathers!

Wait, Prince Su is awake?

Is he really awake?

Li Qingluo rushed over with the chicken in her hand, but after thinking for a moment, she put the chicken aside and then looked at Prince Su carefully.

He's really awake!!

Li Qingluo's expression was very tense: "Your Highness, do you still remember who you are?"

Duan Rongshi: "..."

"You... cough, where is this? What time is it?"

Li Qingluo finally smiled: "Your Highness, today is the nineteenth of the twelfth lunar month. I, this humble woman, am so happy to see Your Highness wake up, it's truly wonderful!"

Li Qingluo reached out her hand, but then dropped it halfway down.

She even took two steps back before squatting down again.

She knew that now that he was awake, she should quickly revert to her status as a subject's daughter.

"Your Highness, you have been unconscious for a whole day. Does Your Highness know that you have been poisoned?"

Duan Rongshi: "I know. Li Qingluo, you saved me."

He looked at her intently, but Li Qingluo smiled with relief: "It's what I should do. Is Your Highness hungry? I'll go and get you some food right away."

After saying that, she didn't linger any longer, picked up the pheasant from the ground, and quickly left the cave.

Duan Rongshi stared at her back until she disappeared from sight, then he murmured softly, "Why didn't you tell me... what you did?"

Li Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief after falling out of the cave.

I don't know exactly when he woke up.

It definitely wasn't in the morning; he showed absolutely no signs of waking up back then.

Therefore, he must have woken up when I went hunting.

With this conviction in her heart, Li Qingluo put aside everything that had happened to Prince Su in the past two days.

Whether it was feeding him medicine mouth-to-mouth, passing water to him mouth-to-mouth, or warming him up in such an intimate way last night, all of these things should be buried deep in my heart, and no one else in this world should ever know them again.

Relieved once again, Li Qingluo quickly cleaned the pheasant.

Then she picked a lot more fruit and brought it back to the cave.

Prince Su had already sat up on his own. When Li Qingluo saw that he had dressed himself properly and placed her cloak neatly to the side, she almost froze.

"..."

It's over.

Last night, she stripped Prince Su completely naked, down to his underwear!

But when she woke up in the morning, she didn't expect him to wake up so quickly, so she just dressed herself and went hunting!

Therefore, when Prince Su woke up, he was still naked!

Fortunately, only the upper body was bare.

But he must know that he stripped him!

Waaah, her innocence...

Inside Li Qingluo's heart, a little voice was clenching its fist and stubbornly gazing at the sky, while on the surface, it still had to pretend to be calm.

"Your Highness, you're up? How's your wound? Does it still hurt?"

“Your Highness, these are the herbs I found. I have used them since I was a child. They can help Your Highness’s wounds heal quickly. I offended Your Highness yesterday because I was applying the medicine to Your Highness. Please forgive me.”

She spoke very frequently today.

There was a palpable tension in the air.

She even dared not look up at him while she was saying these words.

Duan Rongshi curled his lips into a smile.

"It's alright, thank you... Miss Li for saving my life."

He really doesn't mind?

Li Qingluo quickly picked up the herbs that had already been ground and prepared: "Your Highness, shall we change today's medicine?"

However, Li Qingluo still roasted the chicken first, and then changed Duan Rongshi's dressing.

Duan Rongshi remained silent, just as he had been in a coma, as if the indentation on his back where Li Qingluo was applying medicine was fake.

After bandaging his wound, Li Qingluo quickly went to flip the roast chicken.

Although the pheasant was a bit thin, Li Qingluo had managed to render out all the fat, resulting in a crispy skin and a tender, juicy interior.

Duan Rongshi received a chicken leg and ate a few bites.

It smells like vanilla?

Indeed, even with a plain, unseasoned roasted chicken, she managed to make it fragrant without being greasy.

After finishing the roast chicken, Li Qinglu handed the warm persimmons that had been placed aside to Prince Su.

"Your Highness, would you like to try some? These persimmons and dates are quite sweet."

Duan Rongshi frowned: "I don't like things that are too sweet."

Li Qingluo: "Oh."

Just as she was about to pull back, Duan Rongshi grabbed her wrist.

He took the persimmon away.

Then, in front of her, he slowly took a bite.

Although his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he still managed to finish the entire persimmon!

Li Qingluo turned her head away and couldn't help but laugh.

She finally understood: he was both hypocritical and aloof, and he was still Prince Su!

*Pfft*

After eating, Li Qingluo noticed that although Prince Su's lips were still a bit dark, they were thankfully not as purplish-black as they had been yesterday.

He must have come back to life completely, right?

Li Qinglu was genuinely happy, and her speech became noticeably more lively.

"Your Highness, are you... able to move now? Would you like to go for a walk? The beauty of the mountains and streams outside is something you may have never seen before."

Duan Rongshi propped himself up and got up.

"I am now fine, let's go."

He followed Li Qing out of the cave, and upon seeing the silvery-white snow-covered mountain scenery, his empty eyes seemed to be instantly filled.

Such a pure and flawless world.

A beautiful scene untouched by worldly concerns.

It felt as if one were inside a beautiful scroll painting, truly breathtaking.

Li Qinglu spun a snowball and threw it at the layers of silvery white branches hanging on the tree.

The snow and sand fell down in an instant with a 'rustling' sound.

She deliberately stood under the snow and enjoyed a refreshing snowfall.

That felt great!

However, Li Qingluo couldn't help but feel a little regretful: if Que'er and Cui'er were here, they could have a wonderful snowball fight in such a beautiful place!

Li Qingluo clasped her hands together, gazing at the branch, when suddenly she was struck heavily beside her leg.

Li Qingluo turned her head in surprise to look at Prince Su.

"Your Highness?"

Was it him who did it just now?

Li Qinglu squinted.

Unexpectedly, the dignified Prince Su, who was feared by everyone in the court, had such a childish side!

Li Qingluo didn't want to pay attention to him because he was still recovering from a serious injury, and she thought it was just an illusion.

Duan Rongshi then bent down and swished up a ball of snow.

Li Qinglu saw through his intentions and turned to run away.

Is this god of death even human?!?

He just barely escaped death, and now he wants to have a snowball fight?! Is he made of steel?!?

However, Li Qingluo had only taken a few steps when, with a 'plop', a large snowball came from behind and mercilessly knocked her face-first to the ground.
