Chapter 587 The Blood-Soaked Man, Holding His Master's Token!
Although Zongzheng Xingyao had lost two of her elder brothers in succession, she seemed to be in a good mood.
Royal family ties are inherently weak.
Her two brothers, one of whom was not her biological brother and the other who tried to kidnap the Chu Emperor and almost ruined her plans, made her feel sad, but she would not show it on the surface.
After all, both of them have now been labeled as traitors.
Who would dare to have any further connection with them?
“My father summoned me as soon as he finished court. He said that I had suffered this time and that he had seen my filial piety.”
"I almost burst out laughing, haha..."
"Moreover, my father said that he would never marry me off to the Western Regions again, and he told me to rest assured that he would not make that mistake again."
"Nangong, Father seems to have really changed since he came back this time!"
“I was initially afraid that you and your husband would kill Father Emperor, but seeing that Father Emperor returned safely and changed so much, no matter what you did to him to cause this change, I am truly grateful to you.”
“You once saved my life, and I haven’t forgotten it.”
"Now, I owe you more and more."
"From now on, your problems are my problems. Anyone who causes you trouble is causing me trouble."
"Can we be considered friends?"
Li Qinglu smiled knowingly: "Of course."
Li Qinglu could sense Zongzheng Xingyao's sincerity. Ever since the incident at the mountain stronghold, she had never referred to herself as "this palace" in front of her again.
The fact that she could humble herself and get along with them shows that she has placed them on an equal footing.
She no longer acted superior, as if being friends was a favor she had bestowed upon her.
Li Qingluo liked her attitude.
Zongzheng Xingyao happily grasped Li Qingluo's hand: "Then from now on, don't call me princess in private anymore, just call me Xingyao."
Li Qingluo: "Then congratulations to Xingyao for achieving her wish. She no longer needs to worry about being sent away for a political marriage."
"However, I would appreciate it if you could put in a good word and scare Chun'er and her family a little before letting them go."
Zongzheng Xingyao was puzzled: "Why?"
"They bully you like this, and you just put up with it?"
"How could I not think you are such a weak and easily bullied person?"
Li Qingluo: "Yes. However, I can't let down the families of the other victims."
"In the end, they were all implicated because of my personal grudge against Zongzheng Wuheng."
"After this incident, I doubt anyone will dare to cause trouble again."
"Moreover, I know who might be behind Chun'er's family, and I will personally send people to deal with them."
Zongzheng Xingyao asked curiously, "Who is it?"
Li Qingluo: "If I am not mistaken, it is Chun'er's unmarried cousin."
In fact, even if Zongzheng Xingyao didn't come, Chun'er's family would still have to slink away.
Afterwards, Li Qingluo naturally had his own methods to deter them and prevent them from causing trouble again.
If they make a fuss again, the people of Nan'an City who are still hoping that Li Qing will move out of the shop and make room for a new job will definitely not stand for it.
I'm afraid Chun'er's family will ruin all these potential opportunities.
In the end, if only his family gets rich by being a scoundrel, everyone else will be left with nothing.
However, since Zongzheng Xingyao had managed to resolve the matter in a few simple steps using another method, Li Qingluo simply let it go.
As long as no one dies, that's fine.
Chun'er has already died tragically; sparing the lives of her family is already the greatest act of kindness and righteousness.
The two exchanged only a few words.
A scream suddenly came from downstairs.
Then came chaos.
Li Qingluo personally went out of the side room, lifted the curtain, and looked downstairs.
There was nothing in the lobby, but the entrance was bustling with people.
Because of Chun'er's family's matter, all onlookers were dispersed.
Granny Zheng was pointing at people busily handling something, but it was unclear what they were doing.
Li Qingluo looked at Xiqiu, who had come out with her today, and said, "Go and see what happened."
Xiqiu returned quickly, her expression suggesting she had also been frightened.
"Miss, there's a bloody person lying in front of our restaurant."
Li Qingluo: "A blood-soaked person?"
Xiqiu: "I saw it with my own eyes, and it is indeed a blood-soaked person. This person is covered in blood from head to toe, as if he has suffered extremely serious injuries."
He was saying that he was looking for Nangong.
Before Li Qingluo could react, Zongzheng Xingyao pointed at her and said, "Looking for you? Have you offended someone?"
"That's not right. Nobody should dare to mess with you these days. Could it be that your old enemies from the martial arts world have come to seek revenge?"
At this point, Zongzheng Xingyao's eyes lit up.
It was as if this was something to be excited about.
Li Qingluo: ……
Ever since she followed me around, the Seventh Princess's true nature seems to have been unleashed, and she's becoming increasingly wild.
However, Li Qingluo is now surnamed Nangong in this Great Chu.
As far as she knew, no one else in the entire Nan'an shared the same surname as her.
He collapsed right in front of her restaurant.
Could it really be someone coming to find me?
Just as she was about to go and see for herself, Granny Zheng hurriedly came up.
“Young lady, there is a young man who is seriously injured and delirious, but he keeps asking to see Nangong.”
"Also, this is his keepsake."
As she spoke, Granny Zheng handed over a jade pendant stained with blood.
Upon closer inspection, Li Qingluo's expression changed drastically.
"Is this Master's jade pendant?"
Is this person related to the master?
Could it be that they've come to see their master?
She looked at Granny Zheng and said, "Come, take me to see this person!"
The person covered in blood was a man, so he couldn't enter the Flower Pavilion Restaurant.
Granny Zheng has already sent someone to temporarily settle him in a pharmacy not far from here.
That pharmacy happened to be a shop owned by Tianfeng Trading Company.
But as soon as she came downstairs, Que'er ran up to her again, looking very anxious: "Miss, something has happened."
Has something else happened?
One thing after another, Li Qingluo was extremely annoyed and frustrated.
Moreover, because he was worried about his master at the moment, he directly rejected Que'er's offer: "We'll talk about it when I get back."
Li Qingluo led Granny Zheng to the pharmacy first.
Inside the pharmacy, several doctors were extremely busy.
"Where's Qin Ling? Tell him to come quickly!"
Clearly, the bloodied man's condition was critical.
Granny Zheng: "We've already sent someone to invite him, but for some reason he hasn't come yet."
Soon, Sha Er rushed in: "Miss, I'm a step too late. Qin Ling was taken away by the young master first."
Did Duan Rongshi take Qin Ling away?
Where did they take them?
Sha Er shook his head: "I don't know either. I only know that it seems to have left the city."
Fortunately, even without Qin Ling, the doctors at the pharmacy were able to work together to save the bloodied man.
Although we had been busy for a long time, it was already dark outside.
But at least we're out of the most dangerous moment.
"Reporting to the master, although this young man is still unconscious, he will wake up by tomorrow at the latest after taking the medicine."
"Don't worry, boss."
Li Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you all for your hard work today."
"A generous reward will be given for saving this person."
"For this person, we must use the best medicine and not leave any lingering effects."
"Also, let me know immediately when you wake up tomorrow."
The doctors were very excited, their faces flushed, after receiving the affirmation from their employer.
"Yes, boss."
Although it was tough, everyone showed their true abilities this time and finally made themselves look good.
Who told Qin Ling to steal all the limelight all the time?
He's rarely seen, and when he does appear, he acts arrogantly, treating everyone in the pharmacy like inferiors, even the resident doctors, as his deputies.
His medical skills are indeed superb.
He could carry out any order given by his employer without any mistakes.
But if all of them were put together, they might not all be worse than him!
Today they finally got a chance to prove themselves, and their employers will surely notice them eventually.
Qin Ling had no idea that he had only been temporarily conscripted out of the city to do hard labor, and that he had almost lost his position upon his return.
Li Qingluo went into the inner room and took a look.
The bloodstains on the person had been completely cleaned up.
Therefore, we can already see his appearance clearly.
He was quite handsome.
Moreover, he was tall and very strong.
Who exactly is he?
What happened to make him covered in blood?
Li Qinglu felt a sense of unease and looked at the servant beside her, asking, "Does he have anything else on him?"
The servant said, "Besides half a dried-up steamed bun, a nearly empty water pouch, and a little bit of loose silver, there was nothing else."
Li Qingluo turned and went out to Sha Er, saying, "Send four people to the pharmacy to take turns guarding him tonight."
"I'm afraid that the person who hurt him will appear again."
"If this is true, we must capture them alive!"
Since it concerned her master, Li Qingluo had to put in extra effort.
The second attendant reported, "Yes, miss!"
Upon returning to the Flower Pavilion Restaurant, I was surprised to find that Zongzheng Xingyao had not yet returned to the palace.
"Aren't you afraid that the palace will be locked up and you won't be able to get back in if you're late?"
Zongzheng Xingyao was still leisurely sipping his tea: "What's the rush?"
"If I can't go back, I'll stay at your Nangong residence tonight."
It seems she's been wanting to visit the Nangong residence for a long time.
Li Qingluo had not invited her, so she was quite bothered by it.
Li Qingluo: "My place is too small; you'll just be bored if you go."
As they were talking, Que'er, who had been anxiously waiting all afternoon, saw the young lady return and quickly came over to report, "Miss, this matter concerns the young master, who has gone out of town."
Li Qingluo: "I know he left the city."
"But what happened?"
Que'er didn't dare to delay and quickly said, "It was Zhuiyu who said that the young master originally wanted to go to Wangzhen Tower to find you. But knowing that you had already left, he turned around and came in the direction of the restaurant."
"But before they even arrived, they were stopped by the military police!"
"It is said that rebels have appeared fifty miles outside the city, and His Majesty wants the son-in-law to go there personally to suppress the uprising!"
“Zhuiyu said that the son-in-law sent him to tell you in person where he is.”
Li Qinglu frowned deeply.
"What? The rebel army? They're already fifty miles away?"
"How come we haven't heard a single word about this?"
Seeing her worried expression, Zongzheng Xingyao said, "Que'er, you need to change how you address her."
"From now on, you can no longer call him 'son-in-law' or 'son-in-law'. And you can no longer call the Li family's daughter 'Miss'."
Que'er hadn't yet recovered from the sudden shift in Zongzheng Xingyao's focus to such a trivial matter.
So he just stared blankly at Zongzheng Xingyao.
"Your Highness, what do you mean... Sparrow doesn't understand."
Li Qingluo: "Could it be... that your father bestowed upon him the title of king?"
