Chapter 249 Prince Su's tender care for Luo'er?
Twelve-Niang died from the pain while fully conscious.
When she died, she saw Pei Sanlang push open the stone door and walk in.
"Stop torturing her, just give her a quick death."
That was her brother, who loved her the most in the family.
But he was also the only person in that family to kill her.
After Pan Li finished speaking, she showed no emotion, but Li Qingluo turned around and hugged her tightly.
"Just treat it as a dream. If you really can't forget it, just remember this feeling. One day, Twelve will make the enemy feel the same pain she once felt in an even more painful way."
"If Heaven gives us another chance, it is a blessing and an opportunity for Twelve Sister, so we cannot waste our time."
Pan Li looked up, her eyes slowly filling with tears.
Until it could no longer be contained and it rolled down.
"You...you understand me?"
"Luo'er, why? Why do you understand my feelings so well, and even seem to know everything I've been through..."
Li Qingluo raised her hand to wipe away her tears and gently shushed her.
"Let's talk about it slowly once we get out."
Prince Su, who had suddenly turned back, frowned deeply upon seeing this scene: "What are you two doing?"
Pan Li immediately wiped away her tears, her face flushed, and gently pushed Li Qingluo away.
"Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. It was because Luo'er and I were talking about some sad things that I suddenly lost control of my emotions. Luo'er was just trying to comfort me."
Li Qinglu asked in confusion: What's there to explain?
Prince Su snorted coldly: "Miss Li has now become a skilled doctor, capable of healing the heart's ailments."
Li Qingluo: ?
Why did she feel that this wasn't a compliment?
And it even sounds a bit sarcastic.
Prince Su's personality is truly eccentric; no wonder he has few friends.
Seeing her simple and honest expression, Duan Rongshi felt an increasing tightness in his chest.
He didn't want to say another word and turned to leave again.
Li Qingluo: "Why is he angry again?"
Pan Li chuckled, "You silly goose. Let's go, let's hurry up and catch up, I think this tunnel is kind of scary."
Li Qingluo: "Let's go!"
But after taking only a few steps, Prince Su suddenly stopped and turned back quickly.
Li Qingluo was startled, thinking that he wanted to punish himself for not being able to get over it.
Unexpectedly, Prince Su walked up to her and suddenly took off his shoes on the spot.
"Put them on."
Li Qingluo: ?
Earlier, she and Pan Li had each taken off one shoe and thrown it into the dark river to distract the Pei family's thugs.
When it was temporarily safe, Li Qingluo took off her other shoe and gave it to Pan Li so that she could wear a pair.
Although I was still wearing socks, the ground was slippery and my feet were already completely soaked.
Moreover, you have to be very careful when walking to avoid slipping.
However, after she took off her shoes, her skirt became quite long, so it was not easy for others to notice her predicament.
Unexpectedly, he actually saw it?
Moreover, he took off his shoes and gave them to her, which made Li Qinglu feel extremely flattered.
"Your Highness, how can this be? You are of noble birth, while my feet are rough and calloused. You should wear them yourself..."
Duan Rongshi's voice was calm: "Alright. I don't want to wait for you any longer, you're so slow, like a snail, and you can't keep up for ages."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away. Li Qingluo looked at his back and then at the big shoes on the ground.
Pan Li shook Li Qingluo: "Hurry up and put them on. In this whole world, you are absolutely the only person who can wear His Highness Prince Su's shoes, so what are you waiting for?"
Although they are all smelly shoes, this is still quite a rare occurrence.
Moreover, His Highness Prince Su's tenderness towards Luo'er made Pan Li clasp her hands together, her eyes sparkling.
Indeed, there is nothing more exciting than seeing the most infamous prince in the world being so considerate and tender towards a young woman!
Li Qinglu felt very uncomfortable.
"He's such a clean freak and loves cleanliness, yet he'd rather go barefoot... He really thinks we're a burden to him."
"Let's go, we need to catch up quickly."
Without further hesitation, she slipped on the large shoes, grabbed Pan Li, and quickly chased after them.
Pan Li, who was being pulled forward: ?
Could it be that Li Qingluo offended the God of Love in her previous life, which is why she is so lacking in romantic feelings in this life?
Poor Prince Su...
Although their feet were very sore, Li Qingluo and Pan Li did not dare to stop chasing after Prince Su on their way back, and they reached the entrance of the dungeon again in less than an hour.
Outside, there was already a cacophony of fighting sounds.
Li Qingluo and Pan Li hid at the entrance and peered inside.
The Pei family's thugs had already been slaughtered by the Dali Temple, with few survivors. Only Pei Sanlang was still putting up a last-ditch resistance, but judging from his condition, he was already at his last gasp due to his injuries.
Li Qingluo: "We must capture Pei Sanlang alive to find out what conspiracy the Pei family is hiding and who is behind them!"
Although Li Qingluo had already guessed that Twelve Niang had heard the murderer mention the identity of 'Your Highness' before she died, what exactly did they want from the old Duke?
And does this matter have anything to do with Princess Qinyu?
These truths can only be learned from Pei San.
Looking at Pei Sanlang's appearance, Pan Li felt both hatred and pain in her heart, and at this moment she nodded in agreement with Li Qingluo's words.
"Yes, only he knows who harmed Twelfth Sister that day. But Luo'er, we can't save him, can we?"
To dare to save someone in front of Prince Su is tantamount to courting death.
Li Qingluo: "His Highness Prince Su will capture him alive."
After saying that, Li Qingluo told Pan Li to stay there, and then rushed out and picked up a sword from the ground.
Treating it as practice, Li Qingluo grabbed someone and wielded her sword a few times.
Unexpectedly, he was no match for Pei Sanlang, but he could still handle one of the Pei family's henchmen.
She became more and more confident as she played, which startled Zhuiyu, who was standing to the side.
"My goodness, young lady, you are so formidable! You're a true master! My apologies for not recognizing you!"
Li Qinglu suspected that he was mocking her.
She pierced the thug's chest with her sword, then turned and grabbed Zhuiyu.
"Take me to His Highness, I have something to say to him! Quickly!"
Prince Su had already cornered Pei San with his long sword. Pei San turned and hid in the stone door. Li Qingluo was chased after by Zhui Yu.
“Your Highness, Pei San knows who the real culprit is who killed Twelve Lady! Also, Duke Pei is probably just a puppet in their hands, possessing what they want, which is why he has been using pills made from women's blood to prolong his life. Therefore, Pei San cannot die!”
"Take them alive!"
In her haste, Li Qingluo didn't realize that she had grabbed Prince Su's robe again.
Seeing this, Zhuiyu couldn't help but smile.
When Prince Su saw her rush out with her sword drawn, looking for him just to say these things, he couldn't help but wonder, "How do you know all this?"
Li Qingluo: "There's no time to explain, Your Highness. Pei San must have another way to escape this dungeon..."
As soon as Li Qingluo finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently again.
Duan Rongshi grabbed Li Qingluo's arm and pulled her close to him again.
"Follow me, come here!"
After saying this, he led Li Qingluo to the stone gate. Li Qingluo immediately understood and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the wall lamp!"
Prince Su immediately understood what was happening when he saw Pei San release and retrieve the lantern.
When Zhuiyu brought the lamp, the three of them followed the same procedure and opened the stone door again, but Pei San was already gone from the secret room.
It turns out that even if Li Qingluo hadn't caught up, Pei San had already prepared an escape route for himself.
Moreover, this dungeon has a secret exit mechanism, which is actually located in this deserted secret room!
However, the moment the mechanism is activated is also the moment the entire dungeon self-destructs.
They could clearly see that the innermost wall inside the secret room had collapsed!
Now that Pei San has escaped on his own, he has sealed off the exit mechanism again, clearly intending to trap them all in this dungeon.
Duan Rongshi immediately turned to Zhuiyu and ordered, "Quickly take men to break down the iron gate at the exit!"
The iron gate is the real exit from this dungeon.
Li Qingluo and Pan Li had already escaped to the iron gate, but they couldn't activate the mechanism to get out without the key.
Zhuiyu accepted the order, turned around, and led his men to rush towards the exit. Outside, the Dali Temple officials, led by Sha Lei, had already wiped out the remaining thugs of the Pei residence and had even captured two prisoners who were being thrown into a corner.
The ground began to shake, and everyone looked terrified.
Chasing the rain, he shouted, "Break the iron gate—!"
While everyone outside worked hard to break through the exit, Duan Rongshi led Li Qingluo back quickly to the entrance of the secret passage next to the water prison.
When Pan Li saw her return, she quickly reached out and grabbed her: "Luo'er, come and hide!"
Prince Su then slipped into the secret passage and saw that it was shaking just as much. He then turned back and said, "There is only one entrance and exit now, the iron gate. You all stay here and do not wander off, understand?"
Although he said "you all," his eyes were only on Li Qingluo, and he only spoke to her.
Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason: "Your Highness, I know."
But as soon as Prince Su left, Li Qingluo suddenly remembered that there was a living woman in the secret room where she was imprisoned.
"Could she be hiding some secret of the Pei family?"
Li Qingluo looked at the stones falling from above, told Pan Li to stay put and not move, and then, ignoring Pan Li's advice, got up and rushed out again.
"Luo'er—"
Pan Li shouted, clearly worried, and immediately rushed out after her.
As Li Qingluo ran, she dodged the falling mud and stones, and soon rushed back to the secret room where she had been.
She quickly opened the door, held up a lamp, and shouted, "Hey! Where are you? Come out quickly! This place is about to collapse, come out quickly, I'll take you out—"
But there was no response from the darkness.
Pan Li rushed forward and hugged Li Qingluo's arm: "Luo'er, let's go quickly!"
Li Qingluo: "Why are you here too? Didn't I tell you to stay where you are and not move?"
Pan Li's eyes were red: "We'll die together, we'll live together, don't even think about abandoning me. Besides, you dared to rush out, I can't be a coward either!"
Li Qingluo: "You..."
She risked her life to escape, so she had no right to lecture Pan Li and could only give up for the time being.
Li Qingluo was about to go into the room to search again when suddenly a huge rock fell down from inside the room. A scream was heard, and a dark figure darted out and grabbed Li Qingluo's leg.
"Ah—ah!!"
This dark figure was the woman Li Qingluo was looking for!
Unexpectedly, a falling rock startled her and she came out.
Li Qingluo was overjoyed and quickly led the woman and Pan Li back: "Let's go!"
