Chapter 182 Luo'er laughs heartily, Prince Su orders someone to apologize to her (Revised)

Li Qingluo: "..."

"!!!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness...!!"

She lifted her face, which was covered in snow and sand, and shook her head violently to shake off all the snow and sand. Then she glared at him angrily.

"I just saved your life, and this is how you treat me?!"

"And besides, you should at least consider the fact that I went through so much trouble to save your life!!"

She was furious.

Duan Rongshi smiled faintly, devoid of any emotion: "As I said, I am no longer in serious trouble."

"Therefore, I will let you win one more round."

He rolled up a huge snowball in his hand again, then tossed it up and down in his hand.

When Li Qingluo saw the size of the snowball, she quickly got up.

"You've gone too far!!"

What's even more outrageous is that he stood still and slammed her to the ground!

He had intensely aroused her competitive spirit at that moment.

Could it be that she, a perfectly healthy woman without any illness or pain, is no match for a sickly, newly awakened poisoner?

Ha, a stubborn woman will never admit defeat.

Li Qingluo quickly lay down and also rolled up an enormous snowball, even bigger than the one in Prince Su's hand!

She picked up the snowball, prepared to charge forward, and then deliver a heavy blow to the Prince of Su!

But before she could run to the right distance, Prince Su suddenly raised his hand.

Li Qingluo turned around with a startled cry: "You broke your promise! You clearly said you would let me win a round!"

Duan Rongshi: "I did not make a move."

But the fact that he doesn't make a move is far more frightening than if he does!

Li Qingluo couldn't take it anymore. She turned around and went back, then unexpectedly threw the huge snowball in her hand at it with all her might—

Unfortunately, the snowball was too big, and she was too short for Prince Su. Her powerful blow only hit his leg before shattering completely.

Prince Su smiled slightly and tossed a snowball into the air: "My turn."

Li Qing screamed and turned around wildly, jumping up and down again: "Ah—!!"

She was like a little fox, darting around everywhere.

Even though it was Prince Su, she fought back with all her might.

However, Prince Su showed no mercy, and he hurled snowballs at Li Qingluo with unparalleled precision.

What's most infuriating is that he stood still the whole time, without moving a single step, and still managed to beat Li Qingluo to a pulp.

After being repeatedly pelted with snow and rolling on the ground, her mouth and head covered in snow, Li Qingluo finally found her footing and even managed to hit Prince Su's face with a snowball once.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

She laughed so hard she was doubled over, clutching her stomach and unable to stop.

However, immediately afterward, another clump of snow hit her face.

Li Qingluo: "..."

Okay, okay!

She knew that their desire for revenge was equally strong, incredibly strong, okay?

In the end, Li Qingluo was the first to raise his hands and surrender.

"I'm so tired, I can't take it anymore..."

After saying that, she tilted her head back and fell onto the snowdrift, panting as she quietly looked at the blue sky and white clouds before her.

Li Qingluo suddenly smiled. Since she could remember, she seemed to have never been so happy, let alone laughed so heartily as she did today.

It turns out that happiness can be so simple.

Laughing out loud and completely releasing your emotions isn't that difficult.

Moreover, just having a snowball fight can completely relax a person.

These past two days, her tense nerves seemed to finally begin to relax.

That's wonderful! She completely pulled Prince Su back from the brink of death, not only repaying all those favors, but also ensuring that she could live a good life again from now on.

Li Qing sat up and looked at Prince Su: "Your Highness, does this mean I won't need to cook for you at Guiyuan anymore?"

Overjoyed, Li Qingluo asked the question that had been on her mind the most.

Prince Su, who was bending over to make a huge snowball, suddenly stopped in his tracks: "..."

Of course, since Li Qingluo had already called a halt, his snowball was not meant to be thrown at anyone.

Prince Su made a snowman.

Li Qingluo came over and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Prince Su: "Snowman."

After saying that, he went to the side and picked up some branches, and then used jujubes and persimmons, and a chubby and lively cute snowman was finished.

Li Qingluo's eyes lit up instantly as she bent down to look at the snowman.

"A snowman? It looks so festive! Why would Your Highness build a snowman? I've never seen anyone else build one before!"

Duan Rongshi: "Someone once taught me that people in the West build a doll like this when it snows. Do you like it?"

Li Qinglu nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking at rice, "I like it. Your Highness, I'd like to build one too, can you teach me?"

Duan Rongshi: "It's not difficult, just make a snowball."

Li Qingluo immediately took action.

Duan Rongshi watched her from the side, seeing her busy and even sweating on her forehead and nose. Her slender little hands were clearly red from the cold, but she seemed to feel nothing at all.

Duan Rongshi's heart stirred, and he reached out and grabbed her wrist almost without hesitation.

"Your Highness?"

Li Qingluo looked up at him, puzzled.

Moreover, his actions... might be considered somewhat inappropriate for men and women to touch each other.

Li Qingluo had completely buried all the things she had done to Prince Su deep in her heart, and hadn't remembered them at all.

Duan Rongshi: "There's no need to pile them up."

Li Qingluo: "Why? Anyway, I have nothing to do right now, so I'm just looking for some fun..."

Duan Rongshi: "The snowballs in your group are ugly."

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness!!"

She's a little angry!

Can't someone shut this guy's mouth?

"you……"

Li Qingluo raised her hand to break free from Duan Rongshi's large grip, but at that moment, a joyful cry came from the cliff behind her: "Your Highness! Your Highness—!! It really is Your Highness, and Miss Li, they are both here!"

"They're alive! His Highness is alive!!"

Zhuiyu, Shalei, and Lengdian tumbled and crawled down the small cliff.

Li Qingluo gently struggled, and Duan Rongshi released his grip accordingly.

When Zhuiyu arrived crying, the three of them knelt down on one side. Then, Li Qingluo quietly moved away to increase the distance between them.

Zhuiyu wished she could hug Prince Su's leg.

Sobbing with snot and tears streaming down his face, he said, "Your Highness, it is our fault for our incompetence. We deserve to die. We only found Your Highness today. Waaah... We are relieved to see that Your Highness is alright."

Sha Lei's eyes also reddened: "Your Highness, seeing that you are still safe and sound, we... would be willing to die immediately."

Leng Dian nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement.

Even when Duan Rongshi saw them, his expression remained indifferent, and his eyes showed no emotion whatsoever.

He simply looked at them coldly and said, "Since you're here, tell me, where did those reckless assassins from that night come from?"

Sha Lei: "Your Highness, we suspect that they are all from the Lotus Sect."

Upon hearing the name of the Lotus Sect, Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat.

Is it the Lotus Sect again?

Zheng Lingzhou's face involuntarily popped into her mind. Could it be that he was the one who did this again?

Zhuiyu quickly wiped away her tears.

"Your Highness, these Lotus Sect members planned this all along!"

Duan Rongshi: "Then tell me how you deduced this matter."

Zhuiyu: "They probably knew all along that the Princess of Nanping was going to hold a banquet at the horse farm in the suburbs, so they seized the opportunity and the right time and place to lead us to the outskirts of the city."

"Finally, we encountered the young ladies from the various powerful families returning home, so we had to divide our attention and resources to protect them. They probably didn't expect Princess Qinyu to suddenly appear, and in the end, Her Highness's people also helped us, so we temporarily averted a bloodbath."

"But when these beasts saw that things weren't going well, they suddenly changed their tactics and decided to capture all the girls to threaten us."

"Sha Lei and Princess Qinyu worked together seamlessly and saved many girls."

"Of course, Miss Li also led Princess Nanping back to the horse farm and rescued all the other girls."

"But now the prince was all alone. And we subordinates also thought that all the bandits we had killed along the way had been wiped out, but unexpectedly..."

Duan Rongshi: "Is this the truth you've deduced?"

Zhuiyu and the others lowered their heads.

Duan Rongshi: "I am more inclined to believe that their initial act of pretending to be traitors, and even their later intrusion into the carriage of the noble ladies, was all a ruse. Their purpose that day was very simple: to take my life."

Zhuiyu and the others felt a heavy jolt in their hearts.

Leng Dian: "Later, when we rushed to the woods to rescue Your Highness, we also encountered a group of Lotus Cult members. Those Lotus Cult members seemed inexhaustible, appearing in waves."

"Your Highness should have already killed over a hundred people, but we still can't count the exact number..."

"This time they've probably mobilized the entire sect's resources; it's definitely... aimed at Your Highness!"

Zhuiyu: "Your subordinates were foolish and fell for the evil cult's scheme, nearly endangering Your Highness's life. We beg Your Highness to punish us!"

Duan Rongshi: "No rush. What I'm more interested in now is why Miss Li was also in that grove of trees that day?"

"Judging from Zhuiyu's words, she had already rescued Princess Nanping, so why didn't she return to Jinling City in time under your escort?"

Li Qingluo: Surely he wouldn't suspect that I have connections with the Lotus Sect?!?

Li Qingluo immediately glared at Zhuiyu, who lowered her head in shame: "It was my recklessness. After Miss Li heard that the Prince was injured, I saw that she was concerned about His Highness, so I took it upon myself to let her deliver medicine to His Highness..."

"It was I who nearly caused Miss Li's death. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Duan Rongshi: "Is it me, the king, who you should atone for?"

Zhuiyu then quickly turned around and bowed to Li Qingluo, saying, "Miss Li, I caused you to encounter this danger and almost lost your life. Please forgive me."

Li Qingluo: ……

Heh, hehe.

When did she hear that Prince Su was injured and then express concern?

Zhuiyu, you're really good at making things up.

Li Qingluo squinted at Zhuiyu, smiling without saying a word, while Zhuiyu was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Grandma, please spare my life!

In the end, Li Qingluo did not make things difficult for him.

She simply said, "Then, Mr. Chasing Rain, you owe me one."

Zhuiyu quickly replied, "That's right, that's right. I'll make it up to Miss Li if I have the chance in the future."

Duan Rongshi: "Chase Yu back and accept fifty strokes of the rod as punishment."

How many?

Fifty strokes of the cane!

Does that mean he won't be able to get out of bed for a month?

Zhuiyu looked miserable, but still had to express her gratitude.

Sha Lei, standing to the side, said: "That was close! I almost got dragged down by that dog again."

Having been delayed for too long, Duan Rongshi had been feeling dizzy ever since he woke up.

He raised his hand to rub his temples before slowly giving the order: "Set off immediately and return to Jinling."

The three men chasing the rain replied, "Yes, we obey!"

Several more people jumped down from the cliff, carrying soft carrying poles.

After Prince Su lay down, Zhuiyu immediately stepped forward and pulled down the curtain, then prepared to lift Prince Su up first.

Prince Su raised his hand to stop them from moving.

He gently lifted the corner of the curtain to look at Li Qingluo.

Seeing that she looked a little uncomfortable, but still obediently lay down, he then lowered the curtain.

After the two of them were carried up to the already low cliff edge by light footwork, another group of people came from ahead.

"Cousin!" It was Princess Qinyu leading a group of people again.

Upon seeing that Prince Su was still alive, she rushed over with a mixture of joy and surprise.

"Cousin! Thank goodness, you...you're still alive!"
