Chapter 632 In my heart, my master is like my father.
King of Loulan: "You girls from the Central Plains, don't think that just because you come from Mantuo City, you can act lawlessly and be so arrogant and unruly just because the Western Regions Imperial Court can't subdue you!"
“I, the King of Loulan, will never be provoked or coerced by anyone in my life, and you and Mantuo City will certainly not be the first.”
As soon as the King of Loulan said this, all the guards outside rushed in and surrounded Li Qingluo and her party with their swords drawn.
The Killers and Chasing Rain immediately swarmed out, completely protecting Li Qingluo once again.
Although no one had a weapon in their hands, their faces were filled with fearless killing intent and imposing aura.
Even the King of Loulan was somewhat surprised.
Are these people really just ordinary guards?
Whether the princess was feigning composure or genuinely fearless, her eyes at that moment were so calming that even the King of Loulan found them somewhat admirable.
It turns out that women in the Central Plains are not all as weak and delicate as rumored.
This woman reminded him of a once-famous female general from the Great Liang Dynasty.
In recent years, another remarkable woman has emerged in the Central Plains.
Li Qingluo had fought against a madman like the Chu Emperor and had grown up under the tutelage of Duan Rongshi, a god of death.
She was indeed not afraid of the King of Loulan's imposing presence.
Even if this is the Loulan Kingdom.
Even though this was a complete stranger to her, she was now confident and had already weathered many storms.
I understand even more clearly that even if you lose the fight, you can't lose your morale. If you lose your initial momentum, you'll never be able to get back up.
She gently pushed away the words "kill" and "Chasing Rain" in front of her once again.
He looked up and continued to stare directly at the King of Loulan. "Although Mantuo City did indeed belong to the Central Plains in the past, it was also occupied by the Western Regions."
"Therefore, the city of Mantuo today does not belong to the Central Plains, nor to the Western Regions. Just like your Loulan, it is a truly independent kingdom."
“You can say that I am rooted in the Central Plains, but our Mantuo City does not represent any part of the Central Plains.”
"And they certainly didn't come to threaten your Loulan."
"I was just passing through and wanted to make friends with you, but it is your hospitality in Loulan that has chilled my heart."
"Should I just swallow my anger and let Loulan do whatever they want without ever speaking up for my grievances?"
Where had the King of Loulan ever seen such a sharp-tongued woman who could turn black into white?
He even began to doubt whether his soldiers guarding the city gate had really misjudged her that day and hadn't even counted the number correctly!
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"On the contrary, it is we, the Loulan people, who are at fault!"
"So, in that case, it is I and Loulan who should apologize to you, Princess?"
Li Qingluo: "I wouldn't dare."
"I believe Your Majesty is a man of discernment. I can leave Loulan immediately, but I do not wish to suffer an unjust accusation."
King of Loulan: "Can you distinguish right from wrong?"
He laughed in exasperation.
"Alright! I'm too lazy to waste my breath on your nonsense."
"I ask you, what exactly are you doing here in Loulan, a princess sent for a political marriage?"
"Don't even think about forming an alliance with us!"
"We, Loulan, will never collude with any kingdom outside the world, offend the imperial court, or invite unnecessary trouble."
"If that's really your intention, you'd better get lost!"
"No matter what kind of princess you are, Loulan will never be afraid of you."
Li Qingluo: "Then let's be honest. My daughter was specially brought to your Loulan, not for any alliance."
"But it was to find someone."
The King of Loulan had an expression that said, "As expected, I knew you had ulterior motives."
"Does our Loulan have someone like the princess of Mantuo City who is looking for?"
The other two empress dowagers and queens couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.
"They also said they weren't with the group from yesterday."
"Now, among all the people of the Central Plains in Loulan, besides you, there are only those ungrateful young people from yesterday."
"If that's the case, why try to distance yourself completely from the beginning?"
"You little girl, your words are contradictory and self-contradictory. You've fooled a bunch of old folks like us. Isn't that going too far?"
Anar: "In my opinion, so what if they are princesses of Mantuo City? We should arrest them all first, torture them severely one by one, and they will all behave!"
"Let her spout nonsense here!"
Li Qingluo: "Then, Empress Dowager Wusun, who exactly do you think I'm looking for?"
Upon hearing Li Qingluo's words, Anar could no longer remain seated.
"You actually know who I am!?"
"Well, so you came here for me after all!"
"Who exactly are you?! Or rather, who are you looking for?!"
A fierce light flashed in Anar's eyes.
Looking at Li Qingluo, it was as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Li Qinglu remained silent.
Anar has no good temper.
Pointing at her, he roared angrily, "What are you waiting for? Quickly seize this sorceress who is spreading heresy!"
"Take him away and torture him severely! He'll have to vomit everything out!"
As soon as the soldiers moved, everyone surrounding Li Qingluo immediately shouted, "Who dares!"
Anar sneered, "You still dare to run wild in Loulan? Today I'll teach you a lesson!"
Li Qingluo: "Then aren't you, the Empress Dowager of Wusun, also pointing fingers at Loulan?"
"The King and Queen of Loulan, and even the Empress Dowager, have not yet spoken to capture me, yet you, the Empress Dowager of a foreign country, have already overstepped your bounds and commanded the soldiers of Loulan to capture people."
"So, the Loulan Kingdom's claim of not colluding with other countries was just a deception."
"In fact, for the sake of this Wusun Queen Dowager, a group of people from the Central Plains were even granted amnesty for running around in the Loulan Kingdom. Now, the Wusun Queen Dowager is allowed to point fingers and arbitrarily arrest people in your country."
"Could it be that the Empress Dowager of Wusun was not a princess of the royal court at all, but a princess of your Loulan?"
This time, even the Empress Dowager of Loulan was angered by Li Qingluo's words.
"presumptuous!"
“Anar’s relationship with our Loulan is indeed special, but you have absolutely no right to spout nonsense here!”
"In my opinion, you, princess of Mantuo City, are indeed far too ungrateful and should be severely punished!"
King Loulan rubbed his temples, unusually calm this time.
"Alright!"
"Let her tell us who she's looking for."
“Princess Mantuo, since you recognize the identity of the Empress Dowager of Wusun, the person you are looking for must be related to her, right?”
"If you don't talk, I'll let her do whatever she wants with you."
"Don't say that we Loulan people are unreasonable and bully you foreigners!"
Li Qinglu stared at Anar and said coldly, "My father, Nangong Di!"
Upon hearing this, Anar completely lost her composure and jumped up on the spot.
"What did you say! Nangong Di is your father!?"
In the blink of an eye, Li Qingluo and her group were all locked up.
It wasn't a prison; she was simply locked up in an empty palace.
Moreover, they separated Sha Zi and Zhui Yu from her, leaving only Que'er, Zheng Mama, and Li Yunchu, three women, to be locked up with her.
However, no one panicked.
Li Qingluo, in particular, was leisurely sitting cross-legged, drinking tea and eating pastries.
"The pastries from Loulan are much tastier than those from Yingcheng."
Since becoming pregnant, Li Qingluo has developed a craving for sweets.
I've eaten more pastries in the last two months than I have in the entire past year.
Therefore, Qin Ling advised her to eat less.
After all, who else is like her?
They eat so much all day long!
And they eat everything!
Even if they vomit, they'll eat again right away.
Even Qin Ling couldn't stand it anymore.
Even if she's thin, she still needs to be more careful, otherwise, if she has a large baby later on, it will be difficult to give birth, and she, as the mother, will suffer.
Fortunately, Li Qingluo can not only eat, she can also move.
Along the way, I'm afraid I've lost quite a bit of weight.
Now that Qin Ling is gone, it's Li Yunchu's turn to be anxious.
She sat at the farthest point, watching Li Qingluo eat, and finally couldn't help but ask kindly, "Um... Luo'er, what time is it... aren't you afraid of the Empress Dowager of Wusun?"
When Li Qingluo heard her call out "Luo'er", she hesitated for a long time before making any move.
After accepting her request, she slowly replied, "Why should I be afraid of her?"
"She must be furious by now. I'm just waiting for her to come looking for me again."
Li Yunchu looked horrified.
She's incredibly audacious.
The Queen Dowager of Wusun is clearly a madwoman; she dares to provoke anyone!
Moreover, along the way, we've seen her destroy the city lord of Eagle City and confront the King of Loulan.
She's really a good seed!
She truly deserves to be called her stepmother's own granddaughter.
On the contrary, it was myself...
Why did I provoke her in the first place?
"So, all of this was part of your plan? You just wanted to provoke her and then stay in this palace?"
"I think the King of Loulan is also quite angry with you."
"Luo'er, is it really worth taking such a risk for your master?"
"Can't you just say he's your master? Why do you have to say he's your father?"
"The Queen Dowager of Wusun seems to care a lot about your master. Aren't you afraid she'll kill you?"
Li Qingluo took a sip of tea and swallowed the last of the pastries.
Why be afraid?
"I'm more afraid that she won't go crazy."
"The fact that she cares means that my master must still be alive, and I have a chance to find traces of him."
"Also, in my heart, my master is like my father."
The words had barely left her lips when Sparrow, who had been secretly observing outside the window, turned around and said, "Miss, it looks like they're about to change shifts!"
Li Qingluo quickly clapped her hands and stood up: "The time has come."
The moon rises above the treetops.
Li Qingluo followed a crow through the Loulan Palace.
They dodged the sentries and leaped onto the roof.
They traversed the howling winds of the night, evading the patrolling guards.
Behind him were Zhuiyu and Shayi, two shadows he couldn't shake off.
Fortunately, they knew better than her how to hide, and at the crucial moment, they pulled her into the darkness completely with them.
The three worked together skillfully, and finally, she heard the noise she had been waiting for.
"Nangong Di! How dare you lie to me!"
"I trusted you time and time again, but you've completely fooled me!"
"My life has been ruined by you. How do you plan to explain yourself so I won't kill you?"
"Speak! Otherwise, I'll kill you with my own hands tonight!"
Finally, Nangong Di's weak voice came out: "What exactly do you want me to say?"
