Chapter 127 A Mountain of Gold Before Us
Upon hearing Prince Su's words, Li Qingluo's expression immediately changed.
She knew that he had probably noticed her every move.
She immediately stood up and knelt down, without making any excuses, and immediately admitted her mistake: "Please forgive me, Your Highness."
How much does he actually know?
How did you know that?
Grandmother's people never make mistakes, it's just that Deng Mama is now a familiar face to Prince Su, which is why she was noticed.
Li Qingluo: "If Your Highness wishes to punish me, I will accept the punishment."
She did indeed use the princess's residence today to set a trap for Li Qingzhu and even Prince Yun.
Moreover, through Prince Su, Prince Yun was lured to the Princess's residence.
He had sensed something, and it was inevitable that he would be so angry now.
But if Prince Yun and Li Qingzhu have no affair and have not done anything wrong, even if I have dug a pit for them, I will not be able to jump into it.
Li Qingluo didn't explain anything, giving the impression that she would admit her mistake but would obviously repeat it next time, which made Duan Rongshi give a cold smile.
"Such a stubborn bone!"
He did not ask her to get up immediately.
Instead, he opened the box first and looked at all the pictures inside.
The more I looked, the deeper his eyes seemed to grow.
He even looked up at the woman in front of him several times.
She was really too inconspicuous.
Even though her beauty has become increasingly outstanding, even if she can outshine all others, in Duan Rongshi's eyes, this is not a merit of hers.
He had seen plenty of good-looking people in the world.
He himself was the best-looking one among them.
But physical appearances are all the same; it is the soul that is truly captivating.
He was immediately drawn to her eyes when they first met.
Later, her intelligence and perseverance also made him look at her in a different light.
Right now, the drawings and sketches in his hands are what truly move Duan Rongshi.
How could a woman like her draw these things?
As far as he knew, she had only been practicing martial arts and using weapons for the past few months since arriving in Jinling.
Although I haven't actually seen her skills yet, she seems to be in much better health now, so she must have made some progress in her martial arts training.
Unexpectedly, she actually had some ideas about weapons.
Moreover, he found several of the designs quite interesting.
"Did you really draw them all by hand?"
Li Qingluo looked up and said, "Yes. I was just imagining things and Your Highness made fun of me."
Duan Rongshi laid out the drawings one by one to examine them.
He narrowed his eyes deeply. "No. You're very good."
His words surprised Li Qingluo greatly.
Is Prince Su praising her?
Perhaps because it was the first time someone had praised her, Li Qingluo blushed slightly.
"I've made a fool of myself."
Duan Rongshi raised a finger: "Get up."
He picked up a drawing and asked Li Qingluo, "What are your thoughts on this part?"
Li Qingluo leaned forward a little, and seeing that Prince Su was not going to mention what had just happened, she quickly reached out and explained, "It's like this, Your Highness..."
Her voice was soft and gentle, and her fingers were slender and fair. Before Duan Rongshi knew it, he was completely captivated by her voice.
Listening to her thoughts and why she had such ideas made him increasingly unconscious, and finally his gaze fell on her.
Li Qingluo naturally noticed that Prince Su was looking at her.
However, she just assumed that he must think she was being delusional.
For example, this iron helmet, so ugly, actually concealed a weapon for killing.
He would surely also wonder how this woman could have so many bloody methods of killing hidden in her mind.
Li Qingluo became increasingly stammering as she spoke, until her voice finally faded away completely.
Duan Rongshi then closed the box.
"good."
He gathered all the patterns together, then looked up at her and found that she had returned to what she was saying earlier.
"Clean your hands and feet properly. Otherwise, if the princess discovers anything amiss, I will not protect you."
Li Qingluo knew he was sparing her, and was somewhat surprised.
Seeing her expression, Duan Rongshi asked, "What's wrong? You're not happy that I'm not punishing you?"
Li Qingluo immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness!"
Seeing her like this, Duan Rongshi couldn't help but smile.
But only for a moment, and then his face turned fierce again.
"You used me to lure Fourth Brother here, but you caused him to lose his offspring. Although Li Qingzhu bears the heavy responsibility for this matter, you cannot escape blame from me either!"
Li Qinglu thought to herself, stammering: So, what exactly does he want?
One minute they want to punish her, the next they don't; one minute they say it's okay, the next they say she can't escape blame.
"How about... I cook a few more meals for you?"
Duan Rongshi glared at her, which startled Li Qingluo so much that she immediately shrank back.
He's so difficult to please.
She was secretly pouting when Duan Rongshi said again, "Could it be that I can't eat your cooking just because I didn't punish you as a condition?"
Li Qingluo quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes. I am honored that Your Highness would not despise my cooking skills. It is truly my blessing."
Duan Rongshi snorted.
She can actually flatter, even with her little mouth.
"How about five hundred taels for each design?"
As he spoke, he had already put all the patterns back into the box, and then stuffed the whole box into his pocket.
Li Qinglu thought she had misheard.
"Your Highness, how many did you say?"
Five hundred taels, one bill!?
She had been given fifty taels for the design of the dagger at the blacksmith shop, which she already thought was an exorbitant price and that she had gotten a bargain!
Surprisingly, the blacksmith shop ended up getting the better deal!
Are these things I drew really that valuable?
Li Qingluo felt as if her whole body was getting hot.
She leaned forward across the table, her expression excited: "Your Highness, is my design really... worth this much silver?"
She brought over ten drawings today!
Was he just planning to take them all?
Li Qingluo couldn't help but tear up.
She knew that Prince Su couldn't be lying to her, so it must be that what she drew was really useful to him!
Under her expectant gaze, Prince Su slowly nodded.
"Yes, the design you drew is really worth the money."
"If there are better ones in the future, I will offer you a higher price."
"However, I have one condition."
Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, please speak!"
From now on, he'll be the God of Wealth, so whatever he says goes!
She didn't utter a single rebuttal!
Moreover, she would agree to any conditions!
You can cook rice a hundred times, no problem!
Seeing her so happy, Duan Rongshi's eyes also warmed.
She's a money-grubber.
Moreover, this was the first time he had seen her like this since they had met.
She always seemed very self-possessed, calm and composed.
It's rare for him to show such outward emotion, even joy.
Duan Rongshi: "From now on, the weapon designs you draw must not be leaked. Each one can only be sold to me."
Li Qingluo looked at him in surprise.
She naturally understood what he meant!
If she agrees, and if her fresh ideas about this matter never run dry, then she will be set for life!
To her, the Prince Su in front of her was a mountain of gold.
If she wanted, she could dig for a lifetime!
How could she possibly refuse such a good opportunity!
He shouldn't be a fool!
Li Qingluo quickly reached out her hand: "Your Highness, let's make a vow by high-fiving!"
