Chapter 644 You're the one who's dressed as a woman, you son of a bitch!

“After all these years in Wusun, I am no longer an innocent princess.”

"Am I, Empress Dowager Anar, someone who would easily get drunk or speak softly to others?"

"They're fooling those idiots in the Imperial Court."

"Only a true Kurt could tell whether his mother was drunk or not..."

At this point, Anar's face was filled with heartache again.

Li Qinglu handed her a cup of hot tea: "I guessed it too."

"Although your drunken eyes and expression were very similar, and almost fooled us, your steps, though seemingly unsteady, were so steady that you didn't miss a single step."

Anar paused in her movements.

Nangong Di said, "Don't worry, no one else has suspected anything."

Anar: "Did I speak to you?"

Nangong Di shut his mouth in frustration.

Li Qingluo quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Senior, do you have someone you suspect?"

Anar: "Throughout the meal, I kept ruling out the ten people that the bitch mentioned. Six of them were from collateral branches of the royal court."

"Of the four closely related individuals, besides the Third Prince who has already been ruled out, there are three others who are the offspring of three different uncles."

"And two of these three dates do not coincide with the time of Kurt's drastic change in temperament."

"The remaining one is the eldest son of the Fourth Prince."

"This child is exceptionally intelligent and has loved Buddhism since childhood. Moreover, he has also deeply studied your Han Chinese culture and is highly respected throughout the city of Hala and even the Western Regions."

"I was also very surprised by his sudden death."

"It is said that on his way to study Buddhism in the Central Plains, he encountered bandits and a sandstorm. He got separated from his followers, and when they found him again, he was already dead."

"Logically, he is the most likely candidate. But his personality is completely incompatible with Kurt's current situation."

"You saw it today too. This Kurt is violent, but that child is a very gentle and kind person who cannot even bear to see killing."

Li Qingluo: "But we can't completely rule it out."

"What if he has been through life and death, and as a result, he has developed a demonic aura?"

After thinking about what Li Qingluo said, Anar nodded in agreement.

“You’re right. I can’t assume I fully understand what kind of person he is just because I had some prior knowledge of him.”

"Besides, after eliminating others, it's still him."

Li Qinglu shook her head: "Aren't there other collateral relatives? Why don't you investigate them, senior?"

Anar sighed: "The sealed archives record that this evil magic cannot be used on relatives beyond five degrees of kinship."

In other words, even if the horoscopes are compatible, the soul cannot be transferred even if the relationship spans several generations.

Li Qingluo then thought of another possibility: "Then how can you be so sure that none of these remaining six distant relatives are actually not distant relatives?"

Anar's expression changed: "What do you mean by that?"

But she quickly realized what she meant and was shocked: "You mean the illegitimate children of the royal family—"

Li Qingluo: "I wonder if such an inconceivable thing will happen in the Imperial Court."

"But I did just experience a real incident not long ago, where an illegitimate child was exchanged for a legitimate one."

"Even the woman who did this came from the Western Regions."

Although Anar was somewhat shocked, what hadn't she experienced over the years?

They quickly accepted this possibility.

"I will personally investigate this matter tomorrow."

"However, I might need to borrow two of your guards to protect me."

Li Qingluo: "Senior, please feel free to borrow them. My master is also welcome to use them."

"This is what he should do."

Li Qingluo quickly pushed Nangong Di forward.

Anar hesitated for a moment, then nodded and reluctantly accepted: "Okay."

Just as Nangong Di's face showed a hint of relief, Li Qingluo said again, "By the way, senior, I think we might start by investigating that queen consort."

Anar: "That's what I think too."

Once back at the mansion, Li Qingluo rested.

It wasn't until the next day that Que'er said, "Miss, Granny and Sha Er didn't return all night. Should we send Sha San and the others out to look for them?"

Li Qingluo, who had been lying down, immediately woke up and sat up upon hearing this: "What did you say?"

"Didn't come back all night?"

Why are you only telling me now?

"Since the person hasn't returned, has anyone sent a message back?"

Sparrow was also extremely anxious, but she could only shake her head.

"Moreover, the Kurt King from the front courtyard returned in the middle of the night last night and even had a fight with the Queen Dowager of Wusun."

"The Empress Dowager of Wusun left in a huff early in the morning."

"That Kurt is in the front yard, and he won't let our people in or out. Everyone is being very careful, afraid of arousing the king's suspicion."

The courtyard is full of people from the Central Plains.

Although there are human skin masks, not everyone has one.

So the only way to avoid being discovered by Kurt or even being targeted by him is to go around him.

Li Qing was extremely annoyed.

"At worst, we can just tie him up!"

"Anyway, Anar has a way to get the real Kurt back. If things get really bad, we'll just switch him back first!"

Li Qingluo simply didn't know what Anar's real plans were.

Is the intention to seek revenge first? Or are there certain harsh conditions for exchanging Kurt for Kurt, so it's necessary to find out his true background first?

Li Qingluo rubbed her temples.

"Who went out with the Empress Dowager?"

Sparrow: "Kill seven or kill sixteen. It's decided by drawing lots."

Li Qingluo: "They are both quite quick-witted, so there's no need to worry about them."

"Have three of you, Killer Three, Killer Four, and Killer Five, go and find Killer Two and Granny. Make sure they are brought back!"

"Go out from the backyard, away from Kurt's eyes and ears."

Que'er quickly turned around and went out.

Li Qingluo sighed, her mood becoming heavy.

Could something have happened in Nanping?

Li Qingluo didn't even know if she had successfully arrived in Hala City. If she had successfully come to the Royal Court, she shouldn't have missed the banquet last night.

He didn't even hear a single word about her at the banquet.

Nanping seemed to have vanished into the maze leading to Hara City; no one remembered her at all.

Li Qingluo's unease grew stronger.

Just then, someone from the front yard came and told Li Qingluo to go and serve.

With Que'er gone, only Li Yunchu remained in the courtyard.

Li Yunchu wanted to say why Luo'er should go; Luo'er was of noble status and should never serve some King Wusun.

But she didn't speak the Western Regions language, and she was afraid of giving herself away if she opened her mouth, so she could only stomp her feet in anxiety.

Li Qingluo's current identity is Anar's personal maid.

As the king of Wusun, Kurt certainly had the right to command himself.

However, he was not a true person from the Western Regions, and it was highly likely that his secret would be discovered on this trip.

But there's no escaping it now.

Although it's unclear what Kurt is up to, it certainly won't be anything good.

Li Qingluo had already mentally prepared herself for the situation in just a short time.

Kurt's servant had been urging them several times, and was cursing in the courtyard gate in a Western Region language: "What kind of thing is a lowly maid who dares to act arrogantly towards the king?"

"The Empress Dowager didn't take you with her today, but that's not a good time for you to lie around in the house and be lazy!"

"Being sent to serve the king is a blessing you've earned in three lifetimes, don't be ungrateful!"

"Get out here right now! If you keep dawdling, do you want me to come in and catch you myself?"

"Pah! She's just a lowly servant girl, yet she has her own courtyard. When did our Wusun slaves become so well-off? She's really lost all manners."

Li Yunchu couldn't understand most of what he was saying, but she knew that what the person in front of her was definitely not a good thing.

She opened her mouth and roared, glaring fiercely at the servant.

The servant was startled by her.

Enraged, he grabbed a stick from the side and raised it angrily: "You son of a bitch, how dare you scare me—"

Li Yunchu was so frightened that she covered her head and screamed, but the stick was intercepted before it could fall.

What do you want to do?

Li Qinglu snatched the stick away with just a slight effort.

A fierce look appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

The servant was startled by her expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

Moreover, how did she manage to snatch the stick from my hand so easily?

How could she have such strength?

"It's you! What do you want?"

"I am the king's man. If you dare to offend me, you'll be in deep trouble later!"

Li Qingluo weighed the stick in his hand.

"I truly do not know how I died."

"But I know exactly how you died today."

"Dare to come into my yard and harm my people."

"court death!"

Before the servant could react, Li Qingluo had already raised her hand and slammed the stick in her hand down heavily on the servant.

The servant was beaten until he screamed in agony.

Li Qingluo showed no mercy whatsoever.

One blow after another, until the servant was completely defenseless.

Moreover, no matter where he ran, Li Qingluo could catch up with him in just a few steps.

Finally, I dragged him to the ground and continued beating him.

The servant originally wanted to run away through the door, but Li Yunchu was one step ahead of him and slammed the door shut behind him.

"Heh. You're unlucky to have fallen into Luo'er's hands today!"

"Serves you right!"

"You worthless thing, who gave you the right to spout such nonsense and dare to insult our Luo'er!"

I'll beat you to death!

Upon hearing Li Yunchu's voice and hearing her words, and after carefully comparing her face, the servant finally realized: "You—you lowly slave—you are actually from the Central Plains, and a man dressed as a woman!"

Li Yunchu was so angry that she kicked him.

"You're the one who's dressed as a woman, you fucking bastard!"

Li Qinglu shouted, "Kill one!"

Sha Yi immediately leaped in from outside the wall.

"girl."

Li Qingluo: "He knows who we are now. We can't let him leave the backyard anymore. Tie him up first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunchu asked excitedly, "Luo'er, can you hand him over to me and Qin Ling? We promise we won't let him run away!"

She has a hundred ways to make this lowly servant wish he were dead!

Seeing Li Yunchu's appearance, Li Qingluo only gave one instruction: "It's fine. But don't lose your humanity."

She could imagine the methods the couple used.

This servant must have done nothing good following Kurt, but Li Qingluo didn't like the fact that the people around her didn't even have a shred of humanity left.

After saying that, she walked outside.

He then instructed Zhuiyu, who had followed him outside, "Prepare to capture Kurt alive!"
