Chapter 87 Our young lady belongs to His Highness Prince Su!

Li Qingluo nodded to Granny Deng, and the three of them remained silent. Only Li Qingzhu's voice could be heard clearly. She was furious: "What kind of work is Wangchunlou doing?! Today, we were almost discovered by Mother. If my identity had been exposed now, everything we had done would have been for nothing!"

"Young lady, please don't be angry. Haven't you already shaken them off? Besides, you're wearing a veil, so the lady might not recognize you."

Li Qingzhu: "Then why did she still follow me away from Wangchun Tower? She must have become suspicious!"

"Also, does Mother no longer care about me? She actually took Liu Cao'er to Wangchun Tower, and I heard she's going to let her choose the best things!"

"After all, that's her own flesh and blood. What does it matter that I've been by her side for sixteen years? She no longer cares about me—"

Li Qingzhu's sobbing could be heard, and the maids and nannies around her were trying to comfort her.

Just then, another aged, hoarse, and even androgynous voice rang out: "Young lady, in my opinion, today's events are not entirely bad."

Li Qingzhu sobbed, "What do you mean?"

The man said, "Since your mother has become suspicious, let's play along!"

“My original plan was to lure your mother to Qingsong Temple. Then you would appear at the right time and stage a scene of mother and daughter parting, but you would have amnesia. As long as Prince Yun is not involved, you can say whatever you want, and that’s how it will be.”

"But today, I have another way!"

“Since your mother has already become suspicious, let’s play along. We’ll lure her out of the city with a letter about you. Then I’ll kidnap you, so she can pay a ransom and get you back…”

Li Qingzhu's crying gradually subsided.

"But this matter will affect my reputation..."

The man said, "At a time like this, is the young lady still worrying about these things? I've heard that the Marquis of Zhongyi's family is going to the Li family to finalize the engagement in the next couple of days! Once this is settled, let's get moving!"

Li Qingzhu: "His Highness is becoming increasingly impatient with me. That little slut in his household, who used to be my confidante, treats me like this! Humph!"

Clearly, she was also eager to get started on this matter.

Just as Li Qingluo was about to listen further, a scream suddenly came from next door: "Ah—! Who are you? Get out!"

Li Qingluo and Granny Deng exchanged a glance, and before they could even step back, the wall shook violently!

Fearing that the wall would collapse and the people next door would rush over, Granny Deng quickly closed the mechanism again. However, when only a crack remained in the closed wall, Li Qingluo suddenly braced herself with one hand: "Wait!"

From next door came the shouts of servants: "Where did these bandits come from? We are the Prince's family! Are you out of your minds?"

The other party sneered: "Your Highness? Perfect, that's exactly the kind of important people we've been looking for! Tie them up!"

"Hehe, weren't you just planning to tie yourself up and swindle money from people? No need to bother with that. Today, a few of us who are fearless will grant your wish."

However, at that moment, the guards who had been waiting in the corridor noticed something was wrong and rushed into the room.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle.

Li Qingzhu was protected and took the opportunity to run out of the room. However, two more people rushed out of the corridor, which startled Li Qingzhu. She screamed and ran to the private room next door, where Li Qingluo was, and knocked hard on the door.

"Open the door! Open the door! Please open the door! There are bandits outside! Please open the door and save our lives!"

Li Qingluo never expected things to change so suddenly.

She looked at Granny Deng, closed the wall completely, and then turned and walked towards the door.

"Miss—!" Granny Deng exclaimed, trying to stop Li Qingluo.

Li Qing paused for a moment, then reached out and opened the door.

What happened outside?

She pretended to know nothing and looked at Li Qingzhu with a blank expression.

Li Qingzhu pushed her away, and several people followed her in. Then, together they slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

"Block the door! Quickly, block the door!"

The two maids were pushed over, turned around, and used their backs to block the door.

However, they still managed to break through the door.

A knife slashed at the door, its tip piercing through the door and embedding itself directly into the bodies of the two maids!

The blade was covered in bright red blood.

The swords were still dripping, one drop at a time...

The two maids died with their eyes open.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhu screamed and hid behind a woman.

Granny Deng and Que'er also rushed over to protect Li Qingluo.

"Young ladies, you are extremely rude! By barging in like this, you've only made things difficult for us."

Sparrow shouted angrily, but Li Qingzhu completely ignored her.

Li Qingluo said in a low voice, "When necessary, we only need to protect our own lives."

Granny Deng and Que'er nodded secretly.

Although they didn't understand why the girl had opened the door, they knew she must have had her own reasons!

The knife was drawn, and the two maids instantly fell to the ground.

Just as he raised his knife to strike again, the door burst open with a crash—

Fortunately, Li Qingzhu's guards rushed over and entangled the man.

However, these men were very skilled in martial arts and managed to force Li Qingzhu's guards into a series of defeats!

The blood in the corridor had even spread into the private room!

Along with the blood of the two maids, it flowed to Li Qingzhu's feet.

Li Qingzhu was extremely disgusted. "Ah!! My shoes!"

However, upon witnessing these scenes, the other two maids and the old nanny were so frightened that they fainted.

Li Qingzhu was also swaying, supported by the woman in front of her: "It'll be alright, the prince will definitely come to save us!"

Upon hearing her voice, Li Qingluo was certain that this was the person who had just given Li Qingzhu advice!

Judging by her age, she was only in her thirties, but her voice sounded as if it had been burned by fireworks. It was not only old, but also hoarse and difficult to distinguish as male or female.

The woman suddenly turned to look at Li Qingluo and the other two: "If you can save our young lady, we will reward you handsomely! This is for you!"

As she spoke, she tossed over a bag of silver and raised her chin high: "Our young lady is His Highness Prince Su's woman, you'd better know your place! Otherwise, our prince will definitely settle accounts later and make sure you suffer the consequences!"

Li Qing almost laughed.

Prince Su?

If she hadn't known that Li Qingzhu had an affair with Prince Yun, she might have actually been fooled by her.

However, she quickly picked up the bag of silver, then pretended to be scared but had no choice but to step forward: "What should I do? Don't be afraid, young lady, I will protect you first!"

Li Qingzhu quickly pointed to the door: "Go, go! Hurry up and block the door!"
