Chapter 363 Siblings Recognize Each Other? Luo'er Leaves Home Due to Poisoning!
Li Jingchuan is awake?
Although it's getting late.
Li Qingluo must leave the city before Duan Rongshi discovers it.
But when she heard that Li Jingchuan actually wanted to see her, she hesitated for a moment, but still decided to go.
Qingzhu Garden.
When Li Qing fell, Li Jingchuan was drinking his medicine.
When he saw her arrive, he gently pushed the medicine bowl away with his hand.
"Go down."
Upon seeing Li Qingluo, the maid quickly rose to greet her, and then with Que'er, who had come with Li Qingluo, they withdrew.
"Luo'er".
Li Jingchuan looked up, gazing wistfully at Li Qingluo, and gave a bitter smile.
"I've known you for a long time, but this is the first time we've truly faced our identities together."
"I would like to formally introduce myself to you... My surname is Li, and my given name is Jingchuan."
“I think I must be your long-lost half-brother.”
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Luo'er."
Li Qingluo turned her head away, took several deep breaths, and then turned back to look at him.
"So, you've been lying to me all along?"
"You knew who I was from the first time we met in the Pei family dungeon?"
Li Jingchuan: "No."
"The West Market, the blacksmith's shop. Do you still remember it?"
Li Qingluo then realized: "It's you!? You're the young master of that blacksmith shop?"
"Later, when you found out I was from the Li family, that's why you didn't want to accept my blueprints anymore?"
Li Jingchuan coughed a few times to calm himself before slowly saying, "Yes. Actually, I admire your talent; it's your gift, Luo'er."
"There are few people in this world who can draw what they think of with just a stroke of the pen, like you."
"You're still a young woman who has never touched a weapon or blade before. How long had it been since your grandmother found you? It's truly unbelievable."
"Although the drawings are indeed a bit ugly, your thought process is truly exceptional."
"At that time, I didn't know you were also a pitiful child. So, after I found out you were a member of the Li family, I really wanted to stay away from you, which is why I broke my promise to you."
"It was my fault, brother. I apologize to you."
As he spoke, he coughed again.
Li Qing paused for a moment, then walked over and patted him on the back.
"Then why did you try to see me again and again? Was it because you knew I was the daughter the Li family had found and that I wasn't favored, which was different from what you had imagined?"
Li Jingchuan nodded, "Yes... cough, cough cough..."
"However, I thought you didn't want to see me, so I stopped looking for you."
Li Qingluo: "Your people just randomly stop people on the street and ask me to follow them. How am I supposed to know who they are?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past."
"You left a suicide note yesterday, did you write it intentionally for me to see?"
Li Jingchuan paused.
“I…yes…”
"However, I didn't mean to play games with you. I really want to free myself."
Li Qingluo slowly lowered her hand, a silent, cold laugh escaping her lips: "So, you knew all along that I was the real Li Qingluo. When did you find out?"
Li Jingchuan sighed: "I knew yesterday, back then."
“My mother was so desperate to save her son that she made a foolish choice.”
"Luo'er, I can't stop her."
"But I can't just stand by and watch her really hurt you. So I have no choice but to go along with your plan... It's good for her to face the truth, and I can also find a chance to get rid of this."
Li Qingluo's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions.
"You came to see me today because you want me to release your mother?"
"But she wants my life, and you know I can't let her go."
Li Jingchuan: "So when I die, she won't think about it anymore."
Li Qingluo narrowed her eyes, suddenly becoming very angry: "Li Jingchuan, you have the determination to die, but don't you have the willpower to live?"
"Do you really think your mother and uncle can take my life?"
You underestimate me!
Seeing that she was angry, Li Jingchuan raised his hand, but then helplessly lowered it.
"Luo'er, I know it's difficult for you to pretend that nothing happened."
"But if I give you all the wealth and power I have, can you exchange it for my mother's life?"
Li Qingluo: "Li Jingchuan, do you think I lack money or power right now?"
"If you want your mother to live, stop thinking about taking your own life!"
"Remember, she will live as long as you live."
"If you die, she will immediately follow you to the underworld."
After Li Qinglu finished speaking, she turned around and strode away.
Upon hearing her words, Li Jingchuan became so emotional that he rolled over and fell off the bed.
"Luo'er—Luo'er—"
Li Qingluo did not turn around.
She stormed off with Que'er from Qingzhu Garden, met up with Granny Zheng at the gate, and then quickly got into a carriage and left the city.
Li Qingluo was feeling extremely agitated as she thought about Li Jingchuan.
Given her status as the leader of the Lotus Sect, Zheng Wanxiu absolutely cannot reappear.
As for Li Jingchuan, she didn't know how to settle him down.
Should he and Aunt Zheng leave Jinling together?
Judging from his condition, he probably won't survive this winter.
Keep him?
Never mind, we'll talk about it when I get back this time.
Of course, if she comes back alive.
Granny Zheng: "Miss, where is Uncle De to meet us? We're almost out of the city, why haven't we seen him yet?"
Li Qingluo: "I have already sent him to Yangzhou ahead of time."
Zheng Mama thought to herself: This time, the old lady has entrusted her with an important task, to keep an eye on what the young lady is doing, but... does she really have to offend the young lady for the sake of the old lady?
The young lady no longer has a head nanny by her side.
If I work hard, can't I completely take over Deng Mama's former position?
While Granny Zheng was still thinking, Li Qingluo asked her, "Did Granny Zhang come looking for you?"
Granny Zheng was startled: "Miss, this old servant will definitely listen to you. If you don't want me to say anything, this old servant will absolutely not tell the old lady a single word!"
Li Qingluo: ……
That wasn't what she originally wanted to ask.
It seems that Grandma is in a hurry.
Li Qinglu felt very guilty, but she herself was not very clear about her current situation and could not be honest with her grandmother.
Let's talk about everything tomorrow.
Li Qingluo: "Alright, I heard you're a master of counter-tracking?"
"I want you to cover up my whereabouts this time, so that even the Prince of Su's men cannot find out where I went."
After leaving the city, the carriage sped towards the outskirts. Li Qingluo lifted the curtain and felt the cool breeze, her heart filled with melancholy.
Li Qingluo did indeed deceive Madam Pei this time.
Because she has no intention of going to Yangzhou.
She released this news not only to deceive Old Madam Pei, but also to deceive Duan Rongshi.
Li Qingluo was sitting in the carriage at this moment, and apart from a slight fluctuation in her heart, there was nothing else unusual.
There was a subtle fluctuation, also because the person driving the carriage was Kill One.
And he was a man.
Li Qingluo bitterly mocked herself, already guessing in her heart what kind of poison she had been poisoned with and what it was related to.
Hemophagocytosis.
I can only smell the scent of blood from the opposite sex.
It will become a mad and greedy monster, sucking human blood.
He turned into a complete monster.
She never imagined that she would one day get involved with this stuff.
Zulya, that's certainly a clever tactic.
So how could she dare to actually see Duan Rongshi again?
Last night's initiative to get close to him was a way of expressing my deepest regret at our parting.
The appointment at Guiyuan tonight was just a pretense he used to deceive him.
She was afraid that tonight she would turn into a monster like Butterfly and Old Duke Pei, and would be completely unrecognizable, no longer herself.
She wanted to escape Jinling City and get away from everyone she might harm.
If she is still lucid tomorrow after tonight, she will know exactly what her situation is.
Then she will know what choice she should make.
"Young lady, what's wrong?"
"You look very sad?"
"Has something happened?"
Li Qingluo: "Good sparrow, you'll find out soon enough."
"Granny, when we reach the foot of the mountain, let Sha Yi stop the carriage."
Killing one of them and sending Li Qingluo and his two servants up the mountain left him quite puzzled.
"Miss, are you sure you don't want me to follow?"
"When will the three of you descend the mountain? Your subordinate will come to fetch you then."
Li Qingluo did not turn around: "Keep an eye on Zuliya and Zheng Wanxiu. When the time comes, I will come to find you."
As they climbed the mountain, Li Qingluo only drank water and ate some dry food halfway up before continuing on her way without stopping.
Before nightfall, she successfully found the cave where she and Duan Rongshi had stayed.
It's still the same place, except that it has changed from winter to summer.
The snow on the mountain has long since melted, leaving only lush greenery and wild fruits growing everywhere.
It was, in fact, another beautiful scene of paradise.
A stream flows gently outside the cave.
In the crystal-clear stream, schools of fish swam to and fro.
Inside the cave, there were still ashes from the fire she and Duan Rongshi had burned.
No one has ever accidentally wandered in here again.
Que'er and Granny Zheng looked around, "Miss, where exactly are we?"
What are we doing here?
Li Qingluo: "We'll stay here for the next two days and not go anywhere else."
Que'er and Granny Zheng looked at each other, puzzled.
Li Qingluo looked at them seriously and repeatedly instructed them: "For this matter, in this place, only the three of us, master and servants, are allowed to be here for the next two days. If anyone accidentally breaks in, I will hold you two accountable. Do you think I can do that?"
Sparrow: "Miss, if any hunters come, I will chase them away."
"But what if our people come looking for us..."
Li Qingluo: "Do you need me to teach you?"
Que'er quickly replied, "Alright, I'll lead them all away and make sure they don't find you, Miss!"
Li Qingluo: "Remember this, you must not let anyone find me in the next two days."
"Especially you, Granny Zheng. Could you possibly do that?"
Granny Zheng shuddered and forced a dry laugh: "Miss, don't worry, this old servant will never let you down."
Li Qinglu sighed inwardly: If it were Granny Deng, she wouldn't be worried. But she hadn't spent much time with Granny Zheng yet, so she needed to continue testing her.
She could only reiterate: "Remember this: I will never use anyone who betrays me, Li Qingluo, for any reason."
Soon, it was midnight on the seventh night.
The fire inside the cave was only burning weakly.
Li Qingluo wasn't sleepy at all; he was sitting cross-legged on a rock, meditating.
Suddenly, she felt as if her chest had been ripped open and her heart had been grabbed, forcing her to open her eyes with a 'whoosh'.
Immediately, she clutched her chest in anguish.
I felt like I was being torn apart alive.
Hearing the commotion, Que'er had just gotten up when she saw her daughter vomit a mouthful of black blood with a "whoosh".
