Chapter 328 The eunuch sees through Qin Yu's true colors!

"come out!"

The maids immediately drew their swords, assuming a defensive stance.

Li Qingluo silently shushed everyone with a raised finger, then she and Eunuch Wu lowered the last gap at the slowest possible speed before tightly locking the mechanism.

Now is not the time to confront them head-on; the priority is to escape as quickly as possible.

The two bowed their heads and quickly left the place.

"Bah! This Princess Qinyu, I never expected her to be such a vicious, treacherous, and cunning person!"

"Over the years, she has been chasing after our prince, not only fawning over him, but even when the second emperor of Chu arranged a marriage for her, she still openly showed her favoritism towards him."

"I never expected that she would be so greedy, always wanting more than she has, and that she's actually on the same side as the Crown Prince!"

"I used to think she was an upright, free-spirited, and kind woman, but in reality she's a two-faced, scheming person!"

Eunuch Wu was furious. He grabbed Li Qingluo's arm and said, "Come on, I'll take you away from here to a safe place!"

Li Qingluo grabbed him and shook her head.

She gestured with her hands: "I have to go save my people."

"Do you know where this Spring Banquet Pavilion might imprison people?"

Eunuch Wu looked troubled: "This... although I know... but, this person may not necessarily be locked up in Chunyan Tower!"

"If you trust me, I'll take you to the Prince Su's residence and let His Highness help you find the person, how about that?"

Li Qingluo believed that Prince Su would help him find the person.

But she dared not delay.

He was afraid he would end up with two corpses.

Que'er and Granny Deng are her confidantes who have been with her since she was reborn in the Red Maple Pavilion.

They knew what she wanted.

Think of things from her perspective.

He would risk his life for her.

Now that she has been implicated because of him, how could she possibly only care about escaping and abandon the two of them, grandmother and grandson?

Once she finds Prince Su, and then Prince Su sends people to find Que'er and the others, it will surely alert the enemy.

Will they even have a chance to survive then?

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Eunuch Wu grew somewhat anxious: "Young lady, don't be foolish! It's only a few..."

Eunuch Wu himself was a servant, and he couldn't bring himself to say that "the lives of a few servants are worthless."

Li Qingluo's expression was resolute at this moment. She gestured with her hand: "Since they are my people, I must save them even if it costs me my own life."

Wu Gonggong, a servant, had tears in his eyes and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

There aren't many masters like this in the world.

It was about his own wife...

Grandpa Wu had little confidence either.

Cough, no, how could his prince allow anyone to ride roughshod over him and threaten him?

Li Qingluo: "I would be extremely grateful if you could just point me in the right direction."

Wu Gonggong sighed helplessly and led Li Qingluo to continue climbing forward. Before long, they came to a fork in the road, and he pointed to the left.

"If I remember correctly, that's the secret dungeon of Chunyan Tower, and there is indeed an exit over there."

“Go to the right side of our house, and you’ll get out by following this path.”

"Are you really not coming with me?"

Li Qinglu clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your great kindness, Eunuch Wu. It is fate that we meet today. If we have the opportunity, we will surely meet again."

"At that time, I will definitely repay the great kindness you have shown me today."

Eunuch Wu nodded: "Alright. Is there anything you need us to say that you want us to take with you?"

"This can be considered the fulfillment of our fate today."

From the bottom of his heart, Eunuch Wu was convinced that he would never see this kind and righteous girl again.

So he offered to help Li Qinglu pass on the message, considering it a good deed.

Li Qing paused for a moment, then gestured earnestly, saying, "If you have time, please go to the Xiuli General's Mansion in the south of the city and help me bring my message back to my grandmother."

"My grandmother will definitely send someone to help when the time comes."

Grandpa Wu agreed.

Li Qingluo dared not waste any more time and turned to crawl to the left.

After leaving Eunuch Wu, Li Qingluo could only grope around aimlessly in the dark passageway.

However, it was so dark here that Li Qingluo felt as if she had become blind.

She had no way of knowing whether she had reached the exit of that dark prison.

Suddenly, a faint light came from behind.

Li Qingluo turned her head in surprise to look at Eunuch Wu, who was climbing up behind her again with a menacing air.

"you……"

Before Li Qingluo could finish gesturing, Eunuch Wu excitedly rushed over, cupping his hands and beaming with excitement: "Li Qingluo, the daughter of the Li family? So you are Miss Li!?"

Although she is now dressed in a brothel, she has dark circles under her eyes and a large black mole on her face.

But Eunuch Wu knew that all of this was just a facade she was putting on!

When the secret room in the Prince Su's mansion was opened, Eunuch Wu had already caught a glimpse of her true face.

Although she was somewhat disheveled at the time, it couldn't hide her radiant beauty, as pure and bright as the moon.

Looking back now, it's true, she really is the person His Highness cherishes now.

Faced with Eunuch Wu's sudden excitement, Li Qingluo: ...?

Yes, it is.

With tears welling up in his eyes, Eunuch Wu exclaimed, "What a wonderful coincidence! I, no, I am Eunuch Wu, the chief eunuch of the Prince Su's mansion, have always wanted to see the young lady, but I have missed the chance time and time again."

"I never expected that this misfortune would give me such a rare opportunity to share this hardship with Miss Li."

"Now it'll be that Zhuiyu bastard's turn to envy us, won't it?"

"Haha, hahaha..."

Li Qingluo: ……

Are all the people from Prince Su's residence so enthusiastic?

Their master was clearly as cold as a giant icicle.

It's quite unusual that they're all so unconventional.

However, doesn't this prove that he is actually a master who can win people's hearts?

"etc!"

Grandpa Wu suddenly realized what was happening.

His face quickly went from flushed to deathly pale: "Since you are Miss Li, Sha Lei must recognize your identity."

"But not only did he imprison you, he also transferred you to this Spring Banquet Pavilion..."

"Let's not even talk about whether this is a brothel or not, this is Princess Qinyu's business."

"His Highness has always disliked Princess Qinyu; who in the entire household can't see that?"

What does he mean?

"Does he prefer Princess Qinyu to stand beside His Highness?"

"Hey...that bastard! When did it become his place to make decisions about His Highness's affairs?"

"What an ingrate! To do such a thing, His Highness will surely break his legs!"

"Damn it, Kill Thunder! Traitor!"

Hearing Eunuch Wu's anger and frustration, Li Qingluo was momentarily at a loss for how to comfort him.

Eunuch Wu looked at Li Qinglu with a pitiful expression: "Miss, is your voice also made of thunder?"

Li Qinglu gestured: "Uncertain. It could be him, or it could be Princess Qinyu."

Eunuch Wu was even angrier: "You deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces! You killed Lei, you traitor! You dog!"

"But don't worry, our Prince Su's mansion has countless skilled physicians who can definitely cure your throat!"

"Come, young lady, I'll accompany you to rescue your people right away, and then we'll go to His Highness to seek justice and expose Sha Lei's conspiracy!"

Li Qingluo still wanted to refuse Eunuch Wu's offer to accompany her, since the journey was bound to be dangerous.

But Wu Gonggong had already angrily climbed to the exit and successfully opened the mechanism there.

Seeing how familiar he was with her, Li Qingluo became even more curious. Was this Eunuch Wu really just the chief eunuch of the Prince Su's mansion?

How could he know so much about the underground passage beneath Chunyan Tower?

It's like knowing exactly which room is in your own house and courtyard; it's practically a living map of the city's defenses underground...

Li Qingluo and Eunuch Wu successfully climbed out of the tunnel, and the exit happened to be in an empty, deserted cell.

The two moved so quietly that they appeared out of thin air without attracting anyone's attention.

Fortunately, the dungeon was already dark. Li Qingluo and Eunuch Wu sneaked to the cell door, just as they were about to figure out how to pick the lock and get out, when they suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

The two immediately crouched down in a corner, too afraid to move.

Two tall, burly men walked in. Li Qingluo watched them go to the cell at the top of the room and dragged out two blood-covered figures.

"The master ordered that the younger one be hung in the main hall. The older one should be made to crawl on the ground like a dog."

"Don't worry, that little bitch won't come out!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo immediately rushed forward.

Could these two, covered in blood and gore... be her sparrow and Granny Deng?

Li Qingluo was instantly anxious and wished she could go forward and find out the truth.

Her movements made a sound, which drew the attention of the two burly men.

Eunuch Wu grabbed Li Qingluo tightly, signaling with his eyes that she must not make a sound.

Li Qing couldn't utter a sound, and was held back tightly by Eunuch Wu. The two burly men glanced over, puzzled: "When did you arrest two more? That's strange."

They didn't even come over to check, as if time was of the essence and there was no time to waste.

Li Qingluo almost gritted her teeth as she watched them drag the two bloodied, severely injured people away like dogs.

Because their hair was disheveled, Li Qingluo had no chance to see clearly whether they were actually Que'er and her granddaughter.

As soon as the others left, she slammed her hands heavily on the wooden frame.

No, if it really is Que'er and Granny Deng, she must step in.

Even if she is doomed to fail at Chunyan Tower today, she must fight her way out!

The thought of the terrible suffering they might have endured was heartbreaking for Li Qingluo, and she felt an urge to kill everyone in the Chunyan Pavilion!

She was raging with barely concealed anger, and even Eunuch Wu could sense her barely suppressed fury.

It's strange, how come this Miss Li has such a familiar oppressive aura like my master, making me afraid to even breathe!

With a trembling heart, Eunuch Wu advised, "Let's discuss this carefully. Don't rush, don't rush..."

"Ha, if we keep discussing this, it'll be too late."

Who is speaking?

Li Qingluo turned her head to look at the cell two rooms away; the voice was coming from that direction.

Because the cell was dark, Li Qingluo couldn't see who it was.

But then the man said, "Oh, what's this? You knocked me out and dared to tie me up? You're incredibly audacious to do such a heinous thing to me, and yet you've been arrested."

"Now you're thinking about how to escape?"

It's him!?
