Chapter 435 Luo'er stabbed again!

"Young lady, you're awake?"

Hearing the clinking of teaware inside, a woman immediately came in with a lamp.

The woman was startled to see Li Qingluo standing by the table in the dark.

However, once she realized that the important person had woken up, she quickly and happily rushed over and helped Li Qing sit down.

"Miss, you're finally awake! Don't worry, let me fetch you some hot water."

Li Qinglu called out to the woman, "Wait."

"Excuse me, what place is this?"

The woman smiled and said, "This is Yangzhou. The young lady fainted and lost consciousness a few days ago, and your people brought her to knock on my door."

“Those young men were very generous; they gave my family twenty taels of silver.”

"Would you like to borrow this courtyard of my house for a few days?"

"My husband and children went to stay at my uncle's house, while I stayed to take care of the girl."

"These past few days, I've been feeding the young lady water and medicine, changing her clothes and washing her.

Li Qingluo understood her situation and then asked the woman to go out and get some water.

After she had only taken two sips, a familiar voice came from outside the window: "Miss, you're finally awake?"

Li Qingluo: "Don't worry, I'll be right out."

Li Qinglu put on her outer robe and tied her hair up high with a red ribbon.

When she went out again, the whole courtyard was filled with her "kill" characters.

They all gazed at her with eager eyes, filled with an excitement rarely seen on ordinary days.

It seems that her coma these past few days has caused them great anxiety.

Li Qing counted them, and none were missing.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Besides reporting my safety to the general's mansion, have you revealed any other information about me?"

Li Qingluo opened her mouth and asked.

Sha Yi: "Don't worry, young lady. Mr. Nangong Di and Doctor Luo have also appeared in Yangzhou City these past two days, but we have not revealed their whereabouts."

"If the young lady doesn't speak, we dare not act rashly."

Even though Li Qingluo had been asleep for several days and nights without waking up, they could only continue to wait in agony.

Before the girl fell asleep, she specifically told them, "Don't panic, I'm just taking a nap."

"This sleep may be a long one, but there is no doctor in the world who can cure this ailment for me, so there is no need to call a doctor to examine me in vain."

"Unless it was a witch named Jinhua who came."

"Don't bring anyone else to me."

"Also, if Jinhua doesn't come, as long as I'm still breathing, you're not allowed to bury me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately closed her eyes.

It seemed she couldn't hold on any longer; she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.

This stunned the members of the "kill" group.

I had to call her several times to make sure she was indeed asleep...

These past few days, Li Qingluo had no idea how they had managed to get through it all.

They take turns sleeping and taking turns standing guard in the yard.

Each of them had a worried expression on their face, their brows furrowed with worry.

The girl had said that she might sleep for a long time.

But isn't this going on for far too long?

The killers even made the woman check Li Qingluo's breathing every day.

We need to explore at every time of day, morning, noon, and night.

Knowing that she was still alive eased their anxiety somewhat.

But fearing she might starve to death, he went and fetched some herbs that could keep a person alive and brewed them.

If Li Qingluo doesn't wake up soon, I'm afraid everyone will be worried sick until their hair turns white.

Li Qingluo smiled when she saw that they all had dark circles under their eyes.

"Thank you for your concern."

"However, I'm full of energy right now, so let's hurry up and get things done first, then you can rest."

The assassins immediately bowed their heads: "Your subordinates will obey your orders, young lady."

Just then, the woman came carrying a tray.

On the plate was a bowl of thick vegetable porridge, a steamed bun, and a plate of side dishes.

"Miss, I see you haven't eaten properly for several days. Why don't you eat something first?"

“These gentlemen have all given enough money, so I’m afraid the young lady might wake up at any time, so the kitchen has always kept fresh food hot.”

The killers also looked at Li Qingluo with eager eyes, their unspoken concern evident in their gazes.

Li Qingluo was indeed hungry.

And so, as expected, he reached out and took the warm food.

"Then thank you, sister-in-law."

After finishing a bowl of rice, I felt warm all over.

After asking the time, Li Qingluo didn't delay any longer and called Sha Yi over to ask, "Where is Pei Qinghong?"

"Did he get away?"

Sha Yi: "Don't worry, young lady, I'll lock you up in the cellar in this courtyard."

The cellar is where this family usually stores sweet potatoes, vegetables, and fruits.

When Sha Yi and his group rented this courtyard, they discovered this cellar and moved Pei Qinghong from outside the city to this place to keep him imprisoned.

As soon as the cellar door was opened, Pei Qinghong looked up.

When he saw Li Qingluo personally holding the lamp and staring at him, he breathed a sigh of relief, looking haggard.

"You're finally awake."

Li Qingluo: "For the sake of our fellow disciples, they won't let you starve, so what are you afraid of?"

Pei Qinghong: "I'm afraid that if you die, our Pei family will never get the antidote again."

Li Qinglu gave a cold snort.

"Don't worry, even if I'm not in Jinling, the medicine will definitely be delivered to the nanny in my courtyard."

"Isn't Pei Jingzhe even more anxious than you?"

That day, Granny Zheng went with Li Qingluo to see Jinhua.

Therefore, I also know what that medicine is all about.

Moreover, Grandmother wouldn't just stand by and watch the Pei family be saved without doing anything about it.

Li Qinglu had Pei Qinghong dragged up.

As soon as he landed, Li Qingluo had him untied.

"You...you're just letting me go like this?"

He stretched out his arms and legs.

I've thought about running away these past few days.

However, Li Qingluo had more than a dozen assassins, all of whom were top-notch experts whom his great-grandfather had painstakingly trained.

Even he himself wasn't confident he could escape alive from a dozen or so of them.

So, I just decided to stay put.

Moreover, Pei Qinghong didn't know what had happened to Li Qingluo that day, so he stayed here these past few days hoping that she could wake up again.

Seeing her full of energy again, he felt a surge of joy inexplicably.

Li Qingluo replied coldly, "Yes, you may leave."

"From now on, we'll go our separate ways, bridges and roads."

"If Young Master Pei sees me again in the future, he would be better off pretending that he has never met me."

If it weren't for the fact that Twelve Sister had already been reborn in Pan Li's body and had a new marriage and life, and that Zuliya hadn't been completely dead, Li Qingluo would have easily let go of this matter today.

Pei Qinghong's expression changed upon hearing this, and he gritted his teeth: "You!"

This heartless and cruel woman!

He glared at him fiercely, but soon his expression relaxed.

"Princess Yaoguang is quite adept at saying one thing and meaning another."

"You said you were going to do something to Zongzheng Wuheng, but you still released him?"

That night, in the pouring rain.

Her men slaughtered all the guards of the Great Chu Kingdom and threw their bodies off a cliff.

Zongzheng Wuheng had already resigned himself to dying at her hands, but unexpectedly, Li Qingluo walked step by step towards Zongzheng Wuheng and asked, "What exactly did you and him trade?"

Why would he let you go?

Zongzheng Wuheng has lost both his feet.

He was imprisoned by Li Qingluo and Duan Rongshi for a long time, so he was completely ruined.

At that moment, he sat under the tree, soaked to the bone, looking as disheveled as a lost soul.

In this foreign land, I suffered endless humiliation.

All of this was because he had schemed against the woman in front of him.

He merely changed her appearance and ruined her voice, intending to control her as a puppet.

But didn't she solve everything on her own?

He also did not obtain her underground city defense map.

She tried to use a substitute of hers to seduce and get close to Duan Rong, but she failed.

Her abilities were indeed greater than he had imagined.

Not only did it destroy its own plans, it also completely ruined everything that Zongzheng Yu'er had planned in Daliang over the years.

Zongzheng Wuheng realized that the person who raided the princess's residence that night was also her!

I almost died at her hands that time!

Am I going to die at her hands again tonight?

Unexpectedly, even though Qin Ling gave her such a wicked poison, she was able to escape unscathed and be cured.

As a result, Zuliya's plan to poison the entire city of Jinling also failed.

This woman is so strange!

If I had known, I should have killed her the day she broke into my room!

Now that it has been completely destroyed by her, Zongzheng Wuheng is truly unwilling.

He tilted his head back and laughed heartily into the rain.

"What, didn't he tell you?"

"I heard you've been granted the title of Princess Yaoguang?"

"Did he arrange this identity for you? Just so you could become his queen?"

"I never expected that the dignified Princess Yaoguang would disregard Prince Su's deep affection and actually run out of the capital in the middle of the night to chase after a useless person like me."

"Are you so infatuated with me that you can't forget me? Is it really that hard for you to let go?"

Li Qinglu grabbed his neck.

With a sudden burst of force.

"Zongzheng Wuheng, today there was a rebellion at the west gate of Jinling. Your younger sister, Zongzheng Yu'er, has been killed by Duan Rongyin."

"When her remains were dug out, her entire head had been trampled into mud."

"Do you also want to experience this kind of gruesome death?"

"Besides, are you even worthy of being compared to him?"

Zongzheng Wuheng showed no emotional change upon hearing that Zongzheng Yu'er had died.

But when Li Qingluo insulted him for being inferior to Duan Rong, he became as furious as a wild beast.

If the killers hadn't held him down so he couldn't move, he would have pounced on Li Qingluo and bitten him hard.

"You ruined me—"

"You bitch!"

"If you hadn't been so ruthless, I, Zongzheng Wuheng, wouldn't have been tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost—"

"Now that I'm in your hands again, do with me as you please!"

"However, don't blame me for not warning you, Li Qingluo."

"If you take my life and disrupt Duan Rongshi's plans, the two of you will likely come to an end as well!"

"Haha, hahahaha..."

Li Qingluo hates being threatened the most.

With a swift movement, she plunged the knife into Zongzheng Wuheng's leg.

"So, would you rather be slowly and painstakingly tortured to death, or simply die a quick death—"

Zongzheng Wuheng let out a miserable scream.

Even Pei Qinghong, who was in the distance, turned his head slightly away when he saw this.

"I said..."

Zongzheng Wuheng gasped for breath, giving a weak and cold laugh.

"This concerns Prince Su. Are you sure... you want all these bystanders to hear this clearly as well?"
