Chapter 265 Luo'er throws herself into Prince Su's arms?
After the servants covered Liu Qingzhu's mouth and took her away, Li Kechuan opened a crack in the door and glanced at Li Chaojing.
Li Chaojing was already very well-behaved due to hunger.
But he was still fiddling with that pile of junk.
Li Kechuan: "Mother, don't let Father starve to death. I'm sorry for what I did to him. I heard that if it weren't for me, Father wouldn't be like this."
Thinking of this, Li Kechuan's eyes filled with pain.
He was an unfilial son.
Once he recovers, he will definitely change his ways and rebuild the General's Mansion.
But how many more days can this General's Mansion still be called the General's Mansion?
Li Kechuan felt an overwhelming bitterness in his heart.
If it weren't for the fire caused by Pearl, the General's Mansion wouldn't have ended up like this today...
Only today did he fully realize that it was that fire that destroyed everything in the General's Mansion!
At this moment, Li Kechuan turned all his hatred onto Liu Qingzhu.
It seemed that only in this way could he feel a little better...
General's Mansion.
After practicing martial arts with Nangong Di, Li Qingluo was covered in sweat.
So she went back to Zizaiju to bathe and do her hair before preparing to go out.
It was already springtime, and Li Qingluo had long since taken off her heavy fur cloak. Now she was wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, and felt much more refreshed.
To make things easier, she simply styled her hair into a high ponytail, tied with a pale yellow ribbon and a few small braids. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Nangong Di waiting for her outside the courtyard.
Li Qingluo: "Master? Is there anything else you want to ask your disciple?"
Nangong Di straightened up: "Let's go, your master will accompany you."
Li Qingluo: ?
Nangong Di was always somewhat aloof. When teaching Li Qingluo martial arts, he was also very serious and unsmiling. He was very methodical and meticulous.
Moreover, he seems to dislike Jinling very much. Since he arrived, apart from the two days he went out to look for me, I heard that he has not stepped out of General Xiuli's mansion.
It seems that he came here only to teach Li Qingluo kung fu.
Is he going to come out of the city with me today?
Li Qingluo was quite surprised.
Could it be that Grandmother was worried about him, so she sent him to protect her?
Li Qingluo quickly thanked him, saying, "Then I will trouble you, Master, today."
When Li Qingluo arrived at the main gate, she was truly shocked to see at least ten maids accompanying her on this trip outside the city.
Grandmother, is it that you don't trust me, or you don't trust His Highness Prince Su?
Heh, hehe...
The sparrow behind Li Qing was carrying a package.
Besides the men's shoes, the package also contained several weapon designs that Li Qingluo had drawn recently.
The master and servant climbed into the carriage. Nangong Di rode the horse himself, while Wu Quan drove the carriage. The group left the general's mansion in a grand procession.
No sooner had they left than Granny Zhang, carrying the letter of annulment and the betrothal gifts that the Qu family had previously sent to the Li family, went to the Qu family in a grand procession...
Outside the city, at Xishan Pavilion.
Li Qingluo never expected the scenery at Xishan Pavilion to be so beautiful.
The moon sets in the west, and dusk casts its light on the mountain shadows.
A lone goose flies, and the mournful chirping of insects fades into the distance.
Li Qinglu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Unexpectedly, by persisting in reading and writing every day, she eventually managed to embarrass herself by showing off a few words.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there will be times when you get hungry.
Li Qingluo and his group set up a pot stand in the pavilion and laid out the food and wine they had brought from the Zhenxiu Restaurant along the way.
Before long, the fragrant spicy hot pot was bubbling and boiling.
Li Qingluo called all the nannies over, and they all gathered together, eating with each other's chopsticks without any hesitation.
Just as they were enjoying their meal, the rain came unexpectedly.
Nangong Di heard something amiss and shot a chopstick to the side. Zhui Yu dodged it swiftly, and the chopstick was driven hard into the pillar.
Chasing Rain: ...
The people around Miss Li are getting more and more powerful these days; even I almost couldn't withstand that move just now!
This person seems to be a master.
Zhuiyu shouted immediately, "Girl, help! It's me!"
Only then did Li Qingluo realize that he had arrived.
"Huh? Isn't it not time yet? Lord Chasing Rain, did you come alone?"
Li Qingluo was still holding a bowl, which was piled high with meat and vegetables.
I was drooling while watching the rain.
Li Qingluo asked him, "Want to eat?"
Although Zhuiyu really wanted to join, he still calmly clenched his fist and coughed first: "Miss, His Highness would like to speak to the side."
Has Prince Su arrived?
The pavilion was packed with people, making it unsuitable for conversation.
Everyone originally planned to leave after eating their fill, but they didn't expect His Highness Prince Su to arrive early.
Li Qingluo quickly looked at her master, Nangong Di, and said, "Master, I'll be right back. Please enjoy your meal."
Nangong Di frowned slightly.
Although he had heard of the Prince Su's reputation before, and it was inappropriate for a lone man and woman to meet here so late at night, his master, who had come halfway through his life, had no intention of interfering in his disciple's affairs. He was just bored staying in the Sifang residence, so he came out today to relax.
So he only gave one piece of advice: "Be careful, and call your teacher if anything happens."
Li Qinglu smiled and bowed respectfully: "Master, don't worry, Luo'er will be very safe following Your Highness."
After saying that, Li Qingluo followed Zhuiyu away.
Nangong Di stared curiously at their retreating figures until they disappeared.
Rumor has it that Prince Su is not a good person.
But why does Luo'er trust him so much?
Luo'er doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would easily trust others. Could it be that Prince Su is not the cruel and tyrannical god of death that is rumored to be?
Chasing the rain was fun.
Miss, were you just praising His Highness?
She feels very safe following His Highness!
See? He didn't have anyone with him following him; he just came by carrying a small bag.
His Highness will be pleased to know.
When I get back, I must keep reminding His Highness of this, and His Highness will surely be so happy that he'll eat half a bowl more rice!
With light steps, Zhuiyu led Li Qing to a small pavilion on the edge of the cliff.
The world only knows that the most famous pavilion on West Mountain is the West Mountain Pavilion where Li Qingluo and the others just had hot pot.
Located in the forest on the mountainside, it offers a beautiful view of the afterglow, the evening glow, and the thin mist.
But actually, there is a very old pavilion on the edge of the cliff, from which you can see the entire city of Jinling.
Li Qingluo was stunned by the beautiful night view of Jinling City before her.
Lights illuminate the city's four sides, while a river of stars flows through the center of the water.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but exclaim, "It turns out that the night view of Jinling City is no less beautiful than that of the daytime view."
Duan Rongshi: "I heard you guys are eating hot pot?"
Li Qingluo: ……
Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Zhuiyu nodded frantically beside him.
If the young lady hadn't been eating hot pot with a group of people in that pavilion, His Highness would definitely have appeared.
And the young lady, not only did she bring so many people to see His Highness, but she didn't even prepare a portion of the hot pot for him.
Li Qingluo quickly walked over, sat down in the pavilion, opened the package on her back, and took out a taro cake that was wrapped tightly inside.
"Your Highness, I made this myself this morning. If you don't mind and don't dislike the taste of the taro paste, why don't you try some?"
"By the way, I only added a tiny bit of sugar."
A fire was burning outside the pavilion.
Duan Rongshi, who had been sitting in the shadows of the pavilion, gradually emerged into the light upon hearing Li Qingluo's words.
He looked at the taro cake spread out in her palm and reached out to take it.
Zhuiyu wanted to ask, "Your Highness, would you like to test the poison?"
But he felt that if he ran out now and spoiled the scenery, he might get punished again.
So he quickly covered his backside and led his group of people to retreat, realizing the situation was prudent.
After Duan Rongshi ate a piece of taro cake, Li Qingluo suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, Your Highness, these are your shoes. I've washed them clean, and I'll return them to you today as well."
Duan Rongshi froze instantly when he saw Li Qingluo take out a pair of shoes from the package.
He looked at the few remaining pieces of taro cake in his hand and immediately lost his appetite.
"Li Qingluo, did you do this on purpose?"
His clenched teeth made Li Qingluo realize what was happening.
"Oh dear! I... I forgot about Your Highness... You are usually... a clean freak. I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to."
"It's all my fault. I'm usually so careless. I only thought your shoes were clean and odorless, and I completely overlooked the fact that Your Highness would find this objectionable."
"It's all my fault, Your Highness! Please stop eating!"
Li Qingluo reached out to take back the remaining pastries from Duan Rongshi's hand, but Duan Rongshi raised his hand high to avoid her.
He wrapped all the pastries up and stuffed them into his pocket.
"Once it has been sent, there is no reason to take it back."
"Consider it something you owe me..."
Unexpectedly, Li Qingluo was so anxious to snatch it back that she lost her balance and fell towards Prince Su!
Duan Rongshi could have instantly raised his hand to support her, but he inexplicably suppressed his impulse and let Li Qingluo fall into his arms.
Prince Su was seated.
Li Qing fell so hard that she not only pressed herself against him, but almost sat on him.
Li Qingluo froze instantly...
She didn't even dare to look up at Duan Rongshi's face.
I felt like my whole body was on fire.
So embarrassing...so embarrassing!
She had made a series of mistakes tonight, and was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head. Just as she was about to get up, Prince Su grabbed her and pressed her back down so she couldn't move.
"Don't move."
He spoke softly, using his other hand to remove a bright green leaf from her head.
Duan Rongshi: "Tonight, it was Miss Li who took the initiative to throw herself into my arms. Could this be considered Miss Li disrespecting me?"
Li Qingluo quickly supported herself on his shoulders to stand up, and stammered uncontrollably, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I did not mean to be disrespectful to Your Highness! If Your Highness wishes to punish me, I have nothing to say."
She immediately squatted down.
Seeing her flustered appearance, Duan Rongshi couldn't help but smile.
But then he felt a sudden emptiness in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Utterly dull-witted!"
"Fine, I'll let you off this time."
"But if there is a next time, I will retaliate. You know I am a petty and vindictive person who never suffers a loss."
After speaking, Prince Su did not want to make things difficult for Li Qingluo any further, so he asked her to get up.
To ease the awkwardness, Li Qingluo quickly took out the jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Duan Rongshi.
"Your Highness, do you recognize this jade pendant?"
To everyone's surprise, Duan Rongshi's expression changed slightly the moment he saw the jade pendant in Li Qingluo's hand.
