Chapter 360 Luo'er strolls on the flower boat, Prince Su's little guard
Duan Rongshi: "What did you say?"
He looked at her in disbelief.
This is not something she would normally say.
Because it was so unusual, Duan Rongshi couldn't help but look down at her, trying to find a clue on her face.
Li Qingluo gave a smug smile.
She let go of her hands and backed away step by step.
"Your Highness, I have my own methods for arresting people, please don't worry about it for now!"
After saying that, she turned around and left Guiyuan with Sha Yi and Sha Er.
Just as Li Qingluo mounted her horse and was about to ride away, a sudden weight appeared behind her.
Duan Rongshi leaped onto her horse and sat right behind her.
"Your Highness, you—"
Li Qingluo was naturally startled.
I don't understand what he's doing.
Duan Rongshi pulled her into his arms from behind and took the reins.
"You want to abandon me? Don't even think about it!"
"Since you have your own methods, then tonight I will follow you and serve as your bodyguard!"
Let's go!
Li Qingluo's eyes widened.
She looked up at him in disbelief, "Are you serious?"
The dignified Prince Su has served as her bodyguard time and time again, and seems to have become addicted to it?
Duan Rongshi donned a half-mask of black: "I've specifically set aside time tonight to resolve this matter, so I'll certainly oblige to see it through to the end. Giddy up—"
Kill One and Kill Two exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Zhuiyu looked up at the sky.
It looks like it's going to rain.
“I will go with His Highness. You go back to your residence and release the substitute. Just in case something urgent happens in the palace and His Highness is not at home.”
Last night, His Highness, the First Prince, Prince Jin, and several other young princes knelt outside the Zichen Palace all night.
Only the Crown Prince could be inside and stay in the Emperor's presence.
The imperial physician said that His Majesty had woken up, but His Highness was not even allowed to go in and see him; the Empress had already sent him away.
His Highness went to the palace to pay his respects again today.
The chief eunuch Wang He said that His Majesty was still fast asleep, so he only glanced at him from afar and did not say a word.
I wonder if any emergencies will occur in the palace tonight.
That's why Duan Rongshi gave prior instructions that if he didn't return to the Prince's Mansion, the substitute should be released to wait.
It seems that His Highness is indeed too busy to go back tonight.
Leng Dian immediately turned his horse around and returned to Prince Su's residence.
Zhuiyu then caught up with him.
It was already nightfall when the two men rode a horse together and sped through the street, immediately attracting the attention and whispers of many people on the street.
"Look at this! It's indecent!"
"The customs and practices of our Great Liang are becoming increasingly improper! Bah!"
Both Kill One and Kill Two wanted to draw their swords.
But looking at the two intimate figures ahead, all one can do is: ...
Zhenxiu Restaurant.
It was nearly 7 PM, but the restaurant was still packed with guests.
Upon seeing Li Qingluo, Mei Shuang was immediately excited and about to rush forward when Li Qingluo secretly gave her a hand gesture. She quickly turned around and walked to the side.
Then a waiter came up.
"Sir, would you like some grilled meat or hot pot?"
Li Qingluo: "None of you are eating. I'm going to find someone."
Li Qingluo saw Zheng Wanxiu sitting by the window.
I know she has made her choice.
Li Qinglu smiled coldly to herself and walked directly towards Zheng Wanxiu.
Kill One and Kill Two remained outside the restaurant.
The person who followed Li Qinglu in at that moment was Duan Rongshi.
He was very tall, and he was accompanied by a young man. The two of them attracted countless eyes as soon as they entered the hall.
"Whose young master is this? He's not very tall, but he stands out quite a bit with a guard by his side."
"Who knows? Look..."
Li Qingluo walked up to Zheng Wanxiu: "It seems that Aunt has made a complete decision?"
Li Qing sat down opposite Zheng Wanxiu, while Duan Rongshi stood behind her with his arms crossed.
Zheng Wanxiu glanced at Duan Rongshi and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
"As a mother, do I have any other choice?"
Who is this?
Li Qingluo: "My guards. They were sent by the sect leader to protect me because he was afraid I would expose my identity. Do you still doubt me?"
Zheng Wanxiu: "In this world, I only trust my son and my brother."
Li Qingluo: "In that case, there's nothing more to say."
She got up to leave, but Zheng Wanxiu hurriedly stood up to stop her: "You...!"
Duan Rongshi raised his sword and swatted away Zheng Wanxiu's arm, then stood in front of Li Qingluo.
His imposing presence was as strong and powerful as a mountain, making Zheng Wanxiu's heart tighten.
The guards the cult leader assigned to this counterfeit faction are truly not to be underestimated.
It seems they really intend to make a big deal out of her.
Although his position in the Lotus Sect is now precarious, he has no choice but to take a gamble and trust her this once.
And since we're already here...
"I don't believe it, can it still come?"
Li Qingluo: "In that case, come with me."
She turned around and led Zheng Wanxiu out of the restaurant.
A flower boat was moored on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Li Qingluo led Zheng Wanxiu into the flower boat.
After Zheng Wanxiu went in first, Duan Rongshi grabbed Li Qingluo.
The warning in his eyes was dangerous.
Li Qinglu smiled and said, "Your Highness has never been here before? Don't be nervous, today I'll show you around!"
Duan Rongshi wished he could grab her and teach her a good lesson.
Does she still remember that she is actually a woman?
Li Qingluo grabbed Duan Rongshi's large hand, and the two of them were ushered inside together.
She had been to Chunyanlou before, and thought that this flower boat should be a similar place, so she wasn't very nervous.
But upon entering, the various erotic scenes inside made Li Qinglu blush instantly.
These girls are already disheveled, but how can these filthy young men not even care about the occasion?
Her eyes were covered.
Duan Rongshi put one hand on her shoulder and led the way, angrily muttering above her head, "You just wait...you'll see."
Li Qinglu chuckled dryly to himself.
I'm afraid we won't be able to wait any longer, Your Highness.
She quickly said, "Please don't look too much."
Zheng Wanxiu turned around and glanced at the two people behind her, a look of disdain on her face.
It's fake, it's fake. How could it be involved in such a scuffle with a guard? It's a complete disgrace to the old lady!
Thinking of the old lady, Zheng Wanxiu still felt a little guilty.
The old lady was the only person in the family who truly cared about Xiao Chuan, and she even saved Xiao Chuan's life. However, she couldn't tell Xiao Chuan the truth that her granddaughter was actually a fake.
Zheng Wanxiu bit her lip and told herself: A woman's kindness will only lead to more trouble than anything else.
She hardened her heart and followed the madam into the back room.
"Esteemed guests, this is the place."
The madam brought them in and then left, swaying her plump buttocks.
This room is not soundproof; it's filled with unpleasant noises.
Zheng Wanxiu had been in the underworld for a few years, so she could sit down without batting an eye.
Li Qingluo was extremely upset.
She was a young girl who had only recently developed an understanding of love; how could she have ever seen such a scene?
Li Qingluo now deeply regrets letting Sha San choose such a place for her.
Although there were several places where the three men had come up, this pleasure boat was one that he had chosen himself...
But she had no idea that this was what was happening inside the pleasure boat.
I thought it was just a fireworks display place similar to Chunyanlou.
As it turned out, the Spring Banquet Pavilion was actually a more refined place compared to this place.
And little did she know that Duan Rongshi would insist on coming with her tonight.
Li Qingluo felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at him.
Where are they?
"Why hasn't Sect Leader Yun Gu arrived yet?"
Zheng Wanxiu looked somewhat anxious as she waited in vain to see Zuliya.
Speaking of Zuliya, who had turned into bitter forsythia, Li Qingluo had long decided to lure him out and then catch him like a turtle in a jar!
Zuliya was a treacherous, cunning, and vicious man, like a venomous snake.
With the arts of resurrection and witchcraft, this person is surely beyond saving.
It was only because the poison she had been given came from her that Li Qingluo wanted to capture her alive.
Early this morning, Li Qingluo sent Sha Yi to the princess's residence again.
She left a letter in large characters in Zuliya’s house: “At 1:15 PM tonight, I will come alone to the flower boat to see you – Zheng Wanxiu.”
When Li Qingluo brought Li Jingchuan to General Xiuli's mansion under Zheng Wanxiu's guidance, he had already decided to use Zheng Wanxiu to lure Zuliya out.
She simply created a body double for herself.
It was a fake identity sent by the Lotus Sect Leader.
Zheng Wanxiu had no idea who had sent the fake Li Qingluo, and because she was desperate to save her son, she was easily fooled. It wasn't that she was stupid.
As for Zuliya, Li Qingluo knew that she must want to find out whether the girl who returned to General Xiuli's mansion was real or fake.
Therefore, the appearance of Zheng Wanxiu, who had intricate ties with the Li family, provided Zuliya with an opening.
Zheng Wanxiu sought refuge at General Xiuli's mansion, a fact that Zuliya would easily find out with a little inquiry.
She would inevitably take this opportunity to come and keep the appointment.
If she doesn't come, Li Qingluo will think of another way.
Therefore, not only is Zuliya involved tonight, but Zheng Wanxiu is too.
Fortunately, just before he stepped into the Zhenxiu Restaurant tonight, Sha San had already sent a message saying that Zulia had already appeared nearby.
However, this time she was cautious and also brought several bodyguards with her.
As for why she hasn't appeared yet, Li Qingluo was quite tactful.
Li Qingluo: "What's your rush? She's been here for a while."
"I'll leave this place to you; you can discuss your matters at your leisure. My little guard and I will wait for you elsewhere."
As she spoke, she took Duan Rongshi's hand, turned around, and left.
The two encountered 'Bitter Forsythia' face to face in the narrow and cramped corridor.
But they all pretended not to know each other at all, and walked away without looking at each other.
Zulia turned and watched their figures disappear before pushing open the door and going inside.
"Is this Li Qingluo really a fake?"
