Chapter 109 The Prince Has No Interest in Male Propriety
Que'er threw a punch.
"How dare you! Where did this madman come from, daring to block our young lady's path? Do you think just anyone can see our young lady as they please?!"
"Get away!"
Granny Deng also pulled out a knife from the carriage and glared fiercely at the man.
This person was clearly prepared, and seemed unafraid of trouble.
He took two steps back and said, "Miss Li! I mean no harm, I only ask that you do me the honor!"
Several onlookers immediately gathered around, pointing and whispering.
Li Qinglu lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked at the person. Was it him?
The blacksmith at the iron shop in the West Market.
His master was the backer who broke the agreement between the two parties so easily back then.
Li Qingluo had long suspected that the blacksmith shop was inextricably linked to the Lotus Sect, so after giving this information to Prince Su, she was even less likely to want to get involved with the sect.
She even suspected that he had come to get revenge.
Before Li Qingluo could speak, a sudden commotion arose from the street, and Li Qingluo saw a familiar figure riding towards them.
"The Dali Temple is handling a case, get out of the way!"
The man who had just wanted to ask Li Qingluo to come out changed his expression as soon as he saw that things were not going well, and immediately ran away.
Li Qingluo: ……
I only passed by Dali Temple.
Chasing Rain and Breaking Wind took the lead, clearing the way.
However, as Zhuiyu quickly passed by Li Qingluo's side, she saw Que'er and Granny Deng.
But it was only a glance, and then it was gone like a gust of wind, leaving no trace.
Granny Deng patted her chest: "Why is everything so unsettled these days? Miss, are you still going to buy some pastries?"
Li Qingluo: "Buy it. Grandmother likes chestnut cake, and the chestnuts that have come out recently are quite fresh."
Granny Deng smiled and said, "Yes, Miss is very filial. Que'er, you stay with Miss, I'll go!"
Before the chestnut cakes were even bought back, Zhuiyu unexpectedly returned alone.
"Second Miss!"
Que'er dared not provoke the people of Dali Temple.
So he quickly went in to keep Li Qingluo company.
Li Qingluo lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "Young guard, is there anything I can help you with?"
Sitting on his horse, Zhuiyu smiled upon seeing her: "Second Miss, our master will meet you at Fumanlou in half an hour!"
After saying that, he didn't give Li Qingluo a chance to refuse, and then turned his horse around and quickly disappeared from sight.
Li Qingluo sighed.
She knew that what she owed Prince Su wouldn't be so easy to repay.
Sparrow was terrified: "Miss, his master, could it be the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, that legendary living Yama, Su Su Su..."
Sparrow didn't even dare to say it aloud.
Li Qingluo did not respond, but thought of the day she left Qishan, when she was riding on the back of Prince Su's horse.
She couldn't ride a horse, and she had an injury on her leg.
So, perhaps seeing that she was somewhat pitiful, Prince Su let her mount his horse and sit in front of him after resting for one night.
Li Qingluo remembered that she was stiff all over like a corpse, and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
But the more nervous she became, the less she could relax, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.
Moreover, she smelled terrible that day and kept secretly catching glimpses of Prince Su's disgusted frown.
Fortunately, he didn't kill her out of impatience because of her smell.
Instead, when they encountered a caravan at the foot of the mountain, they settled her in the caravan safely.
Li Qingluo admitted that her smooth escape from the Lotus Sect and return to Jinling was indeed due to the kindness of Prince Su.
So, since he had given the order to see her, how could she dare not go?
Fu Man Lou.
A giant ship restaurant on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
After Li Qingluo changed into men's clothing at a fabric shop, she led Que'er and Granny Deng into the restaurant.
As soon as they entered, they were spotted by Zhuiyu, who had been waiting for them.
"Second...Second Young Master, this way please!"
Zhuiyu suppressed a laugh and looked Li Qingluo up and down several times. After leading Li Qingluo into the corridor, he whispered, "Second Miss, your outfit is too obvious, isn't it? Who wouldn't be able to tell that you are a delicate young lady?"
Li Qingluo: ……
Sure enough, ever since she faired her skin, shaped her eyebrows, and pierced her ears, she no longer had any credibility as a man!
A hint of unease flashed across Li Qingluo's face. "Ahem. Young guard, this isn't Guiyuan Garden. The Prince wouldn't expect me to cook for him here today, would he?"
Upon hearing Li Qingluo's words, Zhuiyu was filled with surprise: "You...you actually found out!"
Li Qingluo gave a soft snort.
Does she think she's stupid?
That night in the house on the cliff, after they dug her out of the pile of dirt, Li Qingluo could not see anything clearly.
Therefore, upon seeing their figures and hearing Zhuiyu's voice, she naturally became suspicious.
Upon seeing Prince Su's four-and-a-half-foot-long sword, she was completely certain.
In this world, there is probably only one person who can wield such a long sword skillfully: Prince Su.
Zhuiyu stopped pretending to be stupid with Li Qingluo. "Second Miss is indeed clever. Please come in, Second Miss. My Prince is already waiting for you."
Li Qingluo asked nervously, "May I ask, young guard, do you know why the Prince is looking for me?"
Li Qingluo really couldn't say any more information about the Lotus Sect.
Zhuiyu winked at her: "Anyway, it's a good thing."
After saying that, he pushed Li Qingluo into the side room, and then blocked Que'er and Granny Deng outside the door.
"Gentlemen, our prince has important matters to discuss with your 'young master,' so there's no need for you to come in and disturb him!"
Granny Deng and Que'er were extremely nervous and frightened. Moreover, that was Prince Su, so how could they dare to relax?
"This...Young master, your prince wouldn't..."
Zhuiyu stared at them: "If you upset my prince, even if you two have some skills, your heads will be gone in the blink of an eye. Are you sure you still want to come in?"
Que'er bit her lip: "But my young lady is an innocent girl. If word gets out that she met with your master in private..."
Zhuiyu chuckled: "What are you saying, young lady? The one who just went in was clearly a young master. My lord has no interest in such matters!"
Que'er wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Granny Deng.
Granny Deng was pragmatic; she knew that arguing with Prince Su's guards any further would not do them any good.
The two dared not speak again, but showed no intention of leaving, so they each stayed on one side with Zhuiyu.
They just thought to themselves: if any strange noises came from inside the room, they would risk their lives to protect the girl.
Indoor elegant room.
Li Qinglu knelt by the window overlooking the river, sitting directly opposite Duan Rongshi.
She looked at the box in front of her and thought to herself: Why does she seem to be receiving so many gifts these past few days?
"Your Highness, this is..."
Duan Rongshi: "Take a look."
He sipped his tea slowly, waiting for Li Qingluo to open the box herself.
When Li Qingluo saw that it was the bracelet she had broken on Qishan Mountain, she was stunned: "Your Highness Prince Su, you...you actually helped me repair it?"
