Over the years, his dear mother had tried so many methods and invited so many monks to the palace.

They all wanted to suppress him and ensure he would never be reincarnated.

That seemingly weak and gentle woman actually hoped that Li Hua, the source of this calamity, would be cast into the eighteenth level of hell so that he would never again descend to earth to harm people.

Li Hua...once disguised himself as a monk and hid among the young novices chanting sutras, wanting to see his birth mother.

He heard his birth mother murmuring, and after leaning closer to hear clearly, he realized what hell on earth meant.

Zhongli is saying all this now simply to prevent Lihua from harming that woman.

Li Hua would naturally agree, as long as Zhong Li Zheng is truly obedient.

After the two brothers embraced warmly, Li Hua, like a true older brother, promised Zhong Li that he could move around normally outside.

Because no matter how similar Li Hua and Zhong Lizheng are, Li Hua could not possibly hide it from the eyes of people like Liu Kuan.

Zhongli truly believed he had achieved his goal, and began calling him "brother" very naturally.

He lost consciousness after drinking water that evening.

After Li Hua came out of Zhongli Zhengzhen's house, it was already past midnight.

He knew he had to get back as soon as possible; it was too late, and the princess must be getting impatient.

However, before leaving, Li Hua instructed the people in the courtyard: "Be quiet and don't let any blood see up. My good brother has a naturally keen sense of smell, and he will definitely be able to smell any blood in the courtyard."

Li Hua had just hugged Zhongli Zhengzhen and didn't have time to wash her hands, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped her fingers one by one, and even took off her outer robe and threw it on the ground.

He wiped his hands until they were completely red before throwing the handkerchief away.

He said to the men standing beside him, obeying his orders, "Strangle them."

Because Li Hua knew that before Liu Kuan came to Nanzhao, he received an order from the Jinchuan Emperor in the palace to strangle Li Hua.

Li Hua felt that Liu Kuan must really want to know what it felt like to be strangled to death.

Those who were actually subordinates of Li Hua, who were disguised as people close to Zhong Li Zhengzhen, headed towards Liu Kuan's courtyard without hesitation after hearing this.

Li Hua strode towards the door and quickly boarded the carriage.

After settling into the carriage, Sanjiu also got in.

The carriage turned around and sped towards the princess's residence. Sanjiu, tall and strong, kowtowed directly in Lihua's direction as soon as he sat down, because the carriage was moving so fast…

Li Hua was taken aback: "Why is that?"

Why this sudden grand gesture?

Sanjiu was already restless, so she simply stayed in that position and looked at Lihua with her head bowed, saying, "Someone in the princess's residence has sent word that the princess has summoned the physician."

Li Hua frowned upon hearing this: "Is the princess feeling unwell somewhere?"

Li Hua has some unspeakable fetishes. One is that he likes to touch people's skin, but it seems that the object must be someone he likes, otherwise he will be very disgusted.

In addition to this, Li Hua developed another problem: he had to know Princess Duanrong's whereabouts at all times.

Even something as simple as eating a few candied fruits had to be reported to him.

Now, in the entire Princess's residence, apart from the few people Gan Qiongying can see in public, almost everyone else is Li Hua's man.

Li Hua even knew about the guards in the princess's mansion, but he was just pretending not to know.

Therefore, when Gan Qiongying sought out the physician, Li Hua was definitely the first to know.

However, when Sanjiu heard Lihua ask about the princess's safety, her expression became very strange.

"What exactly happened?" Seeing that he was struggling to speak clearly, Li Hua softened her expression. "If you can't even speak clearly, then you shouldn't stay by my side anymore!"

Sanjiu immediately knelt up, her face full of grievance, and said, "I was just afraid that you would be sad, Master!"

"Speak!" Li Hua lost her patience and wished she could sprout wings and fly back to the princess's residence immediately.

Sanjiu said, "The princess is asking the physician for a contraceptive soup and an abortion pill; she doesn't want to get pregnant with the master's child!"

Li Hua's expression froze for a moment.

Sanjiu added, "The messenger came and said that the princess had the royal physician prepare the most potent contraceptive soup for her."

"The master is so good to the princess. The master has gone to such lengths for the princess, even going against the entire Jinchuan, yet the princess is unwilling to conceive the master's child!"

Sanjiu was standing up for Lihua because she had been by Lihua's side for too many years.

He knew all too well what Li Hua expected and what Li Hua valued.

Li Hua adopted a great many orphans, some of whom were refugees and others were beggars. Every year, he spent a lot of money to support these people, to send them to school, and to help them find work in various professions so that they could have food to eat.

Sanjiu knew how much Lihua loved children; before marrying the princess, Lihua had no fixed abode.

However, whenever he encountered a poor child or even a poor abandoned dog in a town or village, he would always take it with him.

I don't mind that it's dirty or sick; I always keep it by my side and take care of it until it's healthy.

How much would a person like this long to have a child of his own?

Sanjiu looked at Lihua, her expression contorted with worry, truly heartbroken for her master.

My sincere heart was misplaced.

Li Hua was fine, but San Jiu was so aggrieved she almost cried.

Upon hearing this news, Li Hua sat there stunned for a moment, then patted the side of the carriage and ordered in a deep voice, "Speed ​​up!"

"It's too late, Master! By the time the carriage reaches the Princess's residence, she'll probably have already drunk the medicine!"

"I'll ride there right now. Maybe I can still make it in time!"

Sanjiu had already rushed out of the carriage as he spoke, and Lihua hesitated for a moment but did not stop him.

Li Hua looked down at his legs. Because of his leg disability, it was very inconvenient for him to get on and off horses, and he had rarely ridden horses in recent years.

But Li Hua can ride a horse.

Although his limp made his walk unsightly, Li Hua always had the illusion that he was just like a normal person when riding a horse.

For a time, Li Hua was very fond of that feeling, so his riding skills were quite good. However, one time... he overheard his fellow merchants discussing how disheveled he looked when he dismounted. Although there was no malice in their words, he didn't ride a horse for a long time after that.

But at this moment, he lifted his robe and saw the straps on his legs, as well as the shoes that Gan Qiong had specially made for him.

Li Hua pursed her lips and stood up from the carriage.

He is now able to ride a horse.

He can ride a horse and walk like a normal person now.

Li Hua lifted the carriage curtain, stood on the carriage shaft, and said to the attendant riding alongside the carriage, "Give me the horse!"

"Yes, Master..."
