Chapter 324 Luo'er left a token, which Prince Su discovered!

Li Qingluo opened her eyes and found herself lying in an extremely luxurious private room.

Light gauze curtains.

Beaded curtains and jade screens.

The fragrance of sandalwood wafts through the air.

The sound of the piano is overwhelming...

Where did the music come from?

Li Qingluo suddenly sat up and got out of bed barefoot.

I walked around the screen and looked at the woman sitting by the window playing the zither.

A beautiful and elegant young woman, dressed in a pure white spring dress and adorned with jade ornaments in her hair.

When she saw Li Qingluo come out, she stopped playing the piano, stood up, and smiled slowly at Li Qingluo.

"You're awake?"

Her smile was like a spring breeze on a mountaintop in spring, instantly making one feel relaxed and carefree.

Li Qingluo circled around the woman, and although she still couldn't speak, she noticed that paper and pen had already been placed on the table.

Li Qingluo quickly picked up his pen and asked, "Where is this? Who are you? Tell Sha Lei to come see me!"

After reading the words on the paper, the woman shook her head: "I don't know who the 'Slaying Thunder' you're talking about is."

"But this is the Spring Banquet Pavilion, and I am called Jiao Niang."

"Have you ever heard of this, young lady?"

Li Qingluo was shocked upon hearing this.

Spring Banquet Pavilion!

Of course she'd heard of it!

Chunyanlou is the largest brothel in Jinling City, with all kinds of beauties. Among them, the ten beauties are famous throughout Daliang, driving all the romantic men crazy with infatuation.

However, since Li Qingluo was a woman, she wasn't particularly interested in the matter of the Ten Beauties, and naturally didn't know who these Ten Beauties were.

She guessed that this beautiful woman was one of them?

That damned Sha Lei actually sent her to Chunyan Tower. What does he mean by that?

"I'm leaving."

Li Qingluo quickly wrote down her demands.

Jiao Niang sighed, "I also want to let you leave, but do you have a maid named Que'er?"

Li Qingluo stepped forward and grabbed Jiao Niang, her eyes asking: How did you know?

Jiao Niang understood the anger in her heart, but cried out, "Miss, please let me go, it hurts so much..."

Her soft moan was enough to melt Li Qingluo's bones.

She really is a girl from Chunyanlou.

However, it is true that there is no need for me to take my anger out on those who are also suffering.

Li Qingluo released her grip and quickly wrote: "Please don't try to fool me, I want to know the truth!"

Seeing that she showed no disgust towards him, and that the woman had actually let go of his hand out of consideration because of her sweet cry, the woman's heart softened slightly.

Which noble lady in this world wouldn't look at them with disgust and revulsion?

It was as if they were the dirtiest people in the world.

But after waking up and learning her true identity, the girl actually felt a pang of pity...

"Please don't be anxious, young lady. I was just following my mother's orders."

“Mother has instructed me to stay with you. You are not allowed to leave this room for the next few days.”

"Otherwise, someone will surely bring over the head of your maid, Que'er."

Li Qingluo's face turned pale.

At that moment, she was certain that it was Princess Qinyu!

So what did Sha Lei mean by sending himself to Prince Su's mansion earlier?

Just to let her see that the affection between Princess Qinyu and Duan Rongshi was indeed genuine.

But now he's thrown into this brothel again, which is clearly on Princess Qinyu's orders.

What exactly does Princess Qinyu want to do?

Also, could it be that Chunyanlou is also Princess Qinyu's business?

Li Qinglu paced anxiously back and forth in the room.

etc!

Li Qingluo looked up at the clear night sky outside the window.

Is Zheng Lingzhou, the leader of the Lotus Sect who was arrested, going to be hanged in front of the city gate in the next couple of days?

Li Qingluo had a vague feeling that her being imprisoned here was related to this matter.

She gradually calmed down.

Qin Yu was clearly certain that she only had rudimentary skills, so if there were experts guarding the Spring Banquet Pavilion, she wouldn't be able to escape easily even if she wanted to.

There was also the threat to the life of the sparrow.

Moreover, Li Qingluo made a fool of herself in front of Qinyu, so perhaps Qinyu really let her guard down?

Also, this is a brothel.

If I leave in a grand and noisy manner, even if I get out, my clean reputation will be completely ruined.

Although her reputation is now tarnished, it has nothing to do with her innocence.

Li Qingluo still wanted to find a husband for her grandmother and didn't want to ruin herself completely...

Grandma must be extremely worried.

Li Qinglu felt a pang of guilt, hoping her grandmother would believe that she would definitely return alive...

Seeing tea on the table, Li Qingluo reached out and poured herself a cup.

After drinking five cups in a row, she finally calmed down completely.

At least there's a bed to sleep in this room, and there should be some decent food to eat, right?

As for how to extricate ourselves, we'll just have to wait and see!

Li Qingluo looked up and smiled slightly at Jiao Niang, a plan already forming in her mind.

That night, the streets of Jinling City were unusually noisy.

Everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about how General Xiuli's mansion had lost an important treasure, and they hadn't been able to find it even after searching for several days.

Now that Prince Su has just returned from assisting the Crown Prince with flood control in the suburbs, he immediately began searching for this treasure for Madam Pei of General Xiuli's mansion.

I heard that Prince Su is quite anxious.

They mobilized the entire Suwang Mansion overnight to search the streets, house by house.

Everyone is talking about when General Xiuli's Mansion and Prince Su's Mansion became so closely related.

The dignified Prince Su is actually helping people find treasures!

Although that was Madam Pei, it was still Prince Su!

It's truly astonishing that a bloodthirsty, ruthless, and feared Yama, a demon of death, would actually help someone find something—more surprising than the overthrow of the crown prince.

The people of Jinling City couldn't help but become curious about what this treasure was.

Unfortunately, even Prince Su, disregarding the curfew, continued searching the entire city for treasures, but after a whole night, there was still no news...

Little did the world know that the great treasure lost from the Xiuli General's Mansion—Li Qingluo—was right there in broad daylight, tying a beautiful woman with tears streaming down her face to the bed.

The pimp who brought in the food had just been stripped naked, then tightly bound with torn sheets and thrown into a corner.

Li Qingluo quickly changed into the pimp's clothes and hid all her hair inside the pimp's hat.

She looked at Jiao Niang and clasped her hands in a fist salute.

The young woman's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked resentful, as if to say: I trusted you so much, why did you treat me like this? Waaah.

Li Qingluo was also speechless.

He could only blink, then turned around, picked up the tray, and quickly left the room.

Her ability to regain her martial arts skills and strength was perhaps due to the pill that Sha Lei had given her this time, which she vomited up again because of the bumpy ride.

As soon as she woke up yesterday, she asked her maid for food.

After a hearty meal, Li Qingluo regained about 50% of her strength.

I had a good night's sleep last night.

After getting up and having breakfast, she naturally started preparing for lunch.

If we don't leave now, when will we?

Li Qingluo opened the door a crack, used the tray to cover her face, and quickly slipped out.

Prince Su's Mansion.

"Your Highness, would you please eat something?"

Zhuiyu sadly brought over a bowl of porridge.

Duan Rongshi reached out and pushed it away: "I don't want to eat. Have you heard anything about her?"

Duan Rongshi rubbed his temples. Because he didn't allow anyone to get close and touch him, even his personal servants rarely massaged his head.

Today, no one dares to provoke him anymore.

Po Feng shook his head and knelt down: "Your Highness, it is our incompetence that is the fault of this subordinate! Please punish us!"

Duan Rongshi got up, put on his clothes, and was about to go out to search for it himself.

Zhuiyu was extremely anxious. "Your Highness, your body can't take this."

I haven't slept much for several days, and I haven't eaten much for the past two days.

He knew that His Highness was so preoccupied with the girl's disappearance that he couldn't eat or drink, but if this continued, His Highness's health would suffer!

If my body can't hold on... even if the girl finds out, she'll feel sorry for me, right?

Zhuiyu wants to cry: Girl, where are you?!

If His Highness doesn't come out soon, he'll commit suicide for love, sob sob...

Once Duan Rongshi decided to leave, no one could stop him.

Although he had just returned, he had only changed his clothes.

Lengdian and Pofeng could only hurriedly chase after them again.

As soon as I stepped out of the courtyard, I saw several furtive figures loitering outside the gate.

Po Feng shouted, "Who goes there?! Show yourself!"

Two old women and a servant rushed out and knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Highness. Your servants have an important matter to report to Your Highness."

Duan Rongshi's eyes suddenly turned cold. He didn't want to waste any more time, fearing that if he was even a little slower, she would suffer even more.

So he immediately lifted his foot, not wanting to deal with these trivial matters in the mansion, but unexpectedly, he caught a glimpse of a chain being held in the hand of an old woman.

Po Feng had already scolded, "You insolent fools! His Highness is busy with many matters these days, how could he have time to concern himself with such trivial things?"

"Everything in the manor is managed by Eunuch Wu. How dare you cause trouble before His Highness today? What is your punishment?"

"Get out of here right now!"

Duan Rongshi suddenly asked, "What is that?"

The old woman and the servant were so frightened that they were trembling all over and almost cried.

When the prince suddenly asked a question, the old woman realized that the prince was asking about the thing in her hand.

Duan Rongshi walked over and reached out his hand.

The old woman quickly served it.

It was a chain with a silver lock attached.

The solid silver lock has a small mechanism.

When it pops open, there is a folded pocket knife inside.

It can't hurt anyone, but it might actually save a life in a critical moment.

When Duan Rongshi saw the chain, his expression changed drastically.

Where did this come from?

He was certain that there was only one of these chains in the world.

Leng Dian was also surprised: "Your Highness, isn't this the young lady's? How did it end up in our palace?"

Leng Dian recognized it because he had personally retrieved the small knife inside the chain and delivered it to the general's mansion.

His Highness entrusted this matter to him privately.

So none of the three, including Zhuiyu, knew this.

It was said that the young lady asked His Highness to make it for her, and that she wasn't in a hurry, but His Highness had it made and sent to her in just a few days.

But this thing should already be on the girl!

But it appeared in their Prince Su's mansion!

What does this... indicate?

Duan Rongshi gripped the bracelet tightly and looked at the three people in front of him: "Tell me, what exactly is going on!"

The old woman quickly kowtowed on the ground, not daring to raise her head, and immediately said, "Your Highness, that day this old servant was sweeping in the South Garden when suddenly a girl of extremely beautiful appearance barged in."

"Then, the Thunder-Slaying Guards chased after us with long whips..."

After recounting the entire process in detail, without daring to omit a single word, the old woman continued, "But when this old servant woke up, I discovered that someone had written several words in blood on my clothes."

"Also, this chain has been stuffed into my waist."

Duan Rongshi's heart sank heavily.

The group chasing the rain didn't even dare to breathe loudly anymore.

So, could the female assassin that Sha Lei mentioned really be a girl?

The Prince of Su's voice was like falling ice shards as he asked, "Characters? Which characters?"
