Chapter 335 The Prince Su's Mansion has come looking for us!
Sure enough, Li Yunchu came again that afternoon.
On the tray in her hand were a glass of water and a bowl of slightly thick porridge.
Li Yunchu didn't say anything this time. She first gave Li Qinglu a couple of sips of water, then helped her sit up and personally fed her spoonfuls of porridge.
"If you dare to lie to me even once, I, Li Yunchu, will risk my worthless life and disregard my future with my husband. I will torture you to the point of wishing you were dead and regretting your actions!"
Do you understand?
Li Yunchu used a lot of force when feeding Li Qingluo, which made Li Qingluo's teeth hurt.
But at this moment, Li Qingluo just wanted to eat something to survive. Even though her lips were cut and bleeding, she kept opening her mouth and ate all the porridge.
Once she had regained some strength, Li Yunchu handed her the bowl of water.
"Write it!"
Writing with water will leave no trace and will not be heard by the Qin Mausoleum.
It seems that Li Yunchu is still wary of her husband.
Heh, that's interesting.
With renewed strength, Li Qinglu was able to write more freely.
She got out of bed and sat on the floor, then raised her hand, dipped it in water, and quickly dropped it: "I can indeed save my second and third uncles."
"I had already planned to rescue them all. If you hadn't kidnapped me, this would have been done by now."
Li Yunchu still didn't believe it: "You?"
She tried her best to keep her voice down, but still couldn't help glancing at the door.
"Even my husband couldn't do it, so who do you think you are to really control the fate of the entire Li family?"
"Li Qingluo, what method do you have? Tell me now!"
Li Qinglu rolled her eyes: "Your husband can't do it because he's controlled by Princess Qinyu."
"The Li family's downfall and extermination was a conspiracy by Princess Qinyu and the Crown Prince. Do you think she would ruin their plans and interests for the sake of your husband, a mere doctor?"
"Auntie, even now, you are still so naive!"
Li Yunchu's face turned pale, and she collapsed to the ground.
Princess Qinyu and the Crown Prince... It's actually a power struggle within the imperial court!
how so?
The Li family has fallen into such a predicament, how can they extricate themselves?
Could Li Qingluo be lying to herself?
Li Yunchu stared at Li Qingluo suspiciously. Seeing that she was still doubtful, Li Qingluo shook her head.
Believe it or not.
“I have evidence. I can’t say I can overturn the entire Li family’s case, but it shouldn’t be difficult to protect the second and third branches of the family.”
Li Qingluo naturally wouldn't completely expose Li Yunchu's true intentions.
Because the real letter is now in my own hands.
However, the evidence that Li Qingluo wanted to hand over was not just that letter; otherwise, even if she did, the entire Li family would still be doomed.
Li Chaojing falsely claimed military merits and even murdered Deputy General Jiang; he truly deserved to die.
Even Li Kechuan was made a junior general because Li Chaojing used his power to pull strings, so he deserved to be implicated and killed.
But the second and third wives are indeed innocent as well.
Although it is said that a family's prosperity is shared by all, and their loss is shared by all.
The prosperity and glory of a family are intertwined; fortune and misfortune are shared.
However, the second and third branches of the family were implicated by the Deng family and have been demoted to the village in recent years. They have not received any honor or good fortune whatsoever.
Now that Aunt Deng is dead, and Grandmother doesn't want to implicate the younger generation, she can indeed save the second and third branches of the family.
Moreover, the method to save the second and third wives is very simple.
Li Chaojing has completely gone mad. Even if you torture him, it will be futile to extract any truth from him.
Therefore, even if the Jiang family were to produce a family letter at this point, although it could directly convict Li Chaojing, it could also be easily overturned.
As long as someone points out that the letter from the Chiang family is fake.
The truth is in your own hands, so no matter what, the fake can never become the real.
At that time, even if the Chiang family makes a huge fuss, it will only be a false accusation.
The Jiang family did indeed suffer injustice and blood feud with the Li family, but since they had chosen to become the Crown Prince's people, Li Qingluo had no choice but to do so when necessary for his own benefit.
Li Yunchu hesitated when she saw the words written by Li Qingluo.
Is it really worth it to gamble with her and her husband's future, and even offend Princess Qinyu and the Crown Prince, all for the sake of her two older brothers?
She didn't know.
She began to back down...
Then they fled in panic.
Li Qingluo, however, was not in a hurry.
He didn't care what became of the second and third wives.
Therefore, the choice is in Li Yunchu's own hands.
As evening fell, before Li Yunchu had made a decision, the mountain courtyard was greeted by a group of uninvited guests.
The tranquility of the mountains was broken by a burst of noise.
Like a sudden mountain gust of wind, a group of people came along the winding mountain road.
Footsteps, hoofbeats, neighing, and low human voices mingled together, waking the groggy Li Qingluo.
The torchlight shone through the cracks in the door and the windows, flickering and dancing on the floor of Li Qingluo's room.
She heard a familiar voice: "Has anyone passed through here in the last few days?"
"Also, how many people are in your family?"
Has anything unusual happened in these mountains lately?
Is that the sound of rain chasing after it?
Li Qing jumped in surprise, thinking she hadn't misheard, and blurted out, "I—"
A hand suddenly covered her mouth.
It's Li Yunchu.
She was covered in sweat and trembling with nervousness as she stuffed a pill into Li Qingluo's mouth.
Li Qingluo felt her whole body go completely limp and powerless in an instant, and collapsed onto the bed, unable to get up again.
She opened her mouth, but this time she couldn't even make a sound.
Then my hands and feet became completely numb and I lost all feeling.
Only the eyes can still move.
She looked at Li Yunchu, who said angrily, "You little brat, I really underestimated you. Are those people outside looking for you?"
"If we hadn't been alerted, you would have actually shouted it out."
"Listen up, you little bastard, don't even think about escaping. Lie down here and behave yourself, or I'll kill you!"
Li Qingluo closed her eyes, too lazy to pay attention to her anymore.
Soon, someone came in, following the light of the fire.
Li Qingluo opened her eyes again and saw Zhuiyu looking her over in front of the bed.
However, he only glanced at her once before looking away.
Without a doubt, the person in front of him might be the girl he was looking for.
Moreover, at this time, a large number of soldiers from the Prince Su's mansion had already poured into the house and were searching inside and out.
Li Qingluo's eyes were deep, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she couldn't utter a single one.
Even moving a finger is impossible.
No one noticed the sorrow in her eyes.
Li Yunchu and Qin Ling stood together, trembling like an honest, ordinary couple.
"Just now, I clearly heard men's voices in this room."
"But you were right outside the door then."
"Speak! Are there any other people you've hidden in this house?"
Zhui Yu drew his sword, startling Li Yunchu, who cried out, "My lords, spare my life! It's...it's my voice! My throat was damaged years ago, and after it was cured, it became like this..."
"There really is no one else..."
As soon as Li Yunchu uttered her voice, everyone wore a strange expression.
Zhui Yu finally noticed that Li Qingluo, who was lying on the bed, was acting strangely.
"who is she?"
Li Qingluo immediately blinked rapidly.
Zhui Yu thought to himself: Is this woman's eyelid twitching? Why is she blinking at him so much?
Seeing Li Qingluo in such a state, Li Yunchu and Qin Ling were already secretly drenched in sweat.
Qin Ling quickly said, "Sir, you don't know, this is our daughter. She fell down a high slope a while ago while gathering herbs for us common people, so she can't move for the past few days."
"If it weren't for my medical skills, I probably wouldn't have been able to save my life."
As he spoke, Qin Ling even pretended to wipe away his tears.
Zhuiyu had no doubts.
After all, who could have imagined that Li Qingluo's face would be completely replaced?
The others also found nothing suspicious.
Everyone had no choice but to evacuate.
There was a black horse outside the courtyard.
The person sitting on the black horse was none other than Duan Rongshi.
Zhuiyu came over and shook her head at him, looking disappointed. "Your Highness, there is no trace of the young lady being here."
Duan Rongshi tightened his grip on the reins.
He remained silent, his eyes growing ever deeper and colder into the darkness, low and terrifying.
Then, with a spur of its legs, the horse galloped wildly into the night...
Li Qinglu could only sigh in her heart and close her eyes in utter helplessness.
She knew that even if she wasn't completely immobilized, and even if she confessed her identity, they would probably find it hard to believe her.
It seems she still has a long way to go before she can return to her rightful place.
After everyone had completely left, Li Yunchu came over and slapped Li Qing twice more.
"You little bitch! What were you trying to imply to them just now?"
"Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"
"Even if you return to Jinling looking like this, you will no longer be Li Qingluo, the legitimate granddaughter of General Xiuli's mansion!"
"You will be nothing, understand?"
She grinned, as if she had already plotted some scheme to completely take everything from Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo remained unmoved as she was mocked.
If we really can't escape, we might as well die together.
Is it really Li Yunchu who's willing to die?
Seeing the look in her eyes, Qin Ling said in a low voice, "Alright! Let's go out and ignore her."
After saying that, Qin Ling led the cursing Li Yunchu out.
The next day.
Li Yunchu came to Li Qingluo's house early in the morning.
She angrily shoved another pill into Li Qingluo's hand.
When Li Qingluo realized that she could move her hands again, Li Yunchu brought her a bowl of dark, murky medicine.
"I drank it."
How could Li Qingluo know what kind of drug they would give her this time?
Seeing her so wary, Li Yunchu sneered, "If you want to fully recover your strength, then drink it quickly, lest we regret it—"
Li Qingluo laboriously picked up the medicine bowl and gulped it down in one go.
She wiped her mouth before looking at Li Yunchu again.
Why would they be so kind as to suddenly give her the antidote?
Clearly, they have a new purpose.
Li Qingluo's eyes seemed to say: Speak now, let's see what else you want to do.
Li Yunchu hated the way she looked at her coldly no matter how crazy or angry she got.
Enraged, she grabbed Li Qingluo and coldly threatened, "Listen up. I want you to go down the mountain and rescue my two brothers!"
"No matter what method you use, I want my two older brothers and their entire families released and allowed to return home within seven days."
"If you can't do it, then you'll die a horrible death!"
Li Qingluo dipped her finger into the medicinal liquid at the bottom of the bowl and slowly wrote: "Okay."
