Chapter 350 The Prince of Su is domineering, but Luo'er opens her heart!
Li Qingluo could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
I have never been so intense and manic before.
"Your Highness? What...what did you say? Are you insane?"
Although she was a rough girl who grew up in the mountains, she was not one of the girls in Jinling City who were taught by rules and etiquette.
But in the end, she also knew shame, and she also knew that unmarried men and women should not have physical contact!
He actually wanted to strip her clothes off to see the butterfly mark on her clothes.
Li Qingluo's face turned completely red.
Even though she looks plain now, she is still incredibly beautiful at this moment, as if she were drunk and he had her enclosed in his little world.
Before she could escape, Duan Rongshi had already pinned her tightly to the wall.
"I am not insane!"
"I used to be too particular about etiquette, which is why you thought I was a gentleman!"
"Let me tell you, you can only belong to me."
"How else do you plan to escape?"
"What, you don't remember what you did to me in that cave back then?"
"I was clearly unconscious, how could I have taken the medicine?"
"When I woke up, I was found completely naked. Did you really think that when I mentioned it to you before, I was just playing dumb to fool you?"
"I'm giving you time, so you can slowly see your own heart, and my heart."
"I am willing to wait for you patiently!"
"But I'm not going to wait any longer today!"
"Li Qingluo, I will only say this once more. The woman I, Duan Rongshi, have chosen will belong to me for all eternity. Even in death, she will be my corpse, my ghost!"
"Even if your heart isn't with me right now, I can make you slowly develop feelings for me over the rest of your life!"
"I've said so much, are you going to let me see it or not!"
Li Qinglu was speechless.
Looking at his handsome face, now filled with shame, anger, and rage, his ears were clearly red, yet he still looked fierce.
There was a time when she thought he was terrifying, a Yama, a demon she dared not approach.
Even now, when he is so fierce and angry, she doesn't feel the slightest bit afraid.
Is it because he already knew deep down that he treated her differently, which is why he was so fearless?
She didn't say anything.
Duan Rongshi tilted his head slightly, his red lips just inches away from her cheek.
Li Qingluo's breath hitched, but she still maintained a sliver of clarity: "Your Highness, you know, this humble woman is not worthy of you..."
Duan Rongshi: "Whether I am worthy or not is up to me, or to you?"
Li Qingluo tried her best to tilt her head back.
Until she was completely pressed against the wall, one of his hands reached over and grabbed the back of her head from behind.
Li Qingluo watched as Duan Rongshi pressed his face against her burning cheek.
He said, "You only need to tell me, do you have me in your heart or not?"
"Leave the rest to me."
"I will make you stand beside me with dignity."
"She is neither a concubine nor a secondary consort."
"I only want you, understand?"
Li Qing's tears rolled down her cheeks.
Duan Rongshi tasted the salty flavor.
He looked down at her in surprise.
He was startled when he met Li Qingluo's vulnerable, tearful gaze.
"What's wrong? Did I scare you again?"
His tone softened, and there was no trace of the raging anger he had just displayed.
He even slightly rose, no longer standing so close to her.
He worried that his reckless and impulsive manner had frightened her.
Just as he was about to leave, Li Qingluo suddenly buried her face in his chest.
She gripped his shirt tightly with both hands, her shoulders trembling slightly.
She dared not look up, and could only say in a muffled voice, "Your Highness, it would be very difficult for you to be with me. Don't you really mind that I'm a burden?"
"I have always known how kind and special you have been to me."
"But... I dare not think about it, like a cowardly deserter."
"But now, I have to admit... you've won."
So what if it's a gamble?
At worst, I'll just be heartbroken and leave.
Moreover... she didn't know how many more days she had left to live.
If it's five days later...
As if she had already been blinded by lust, she simply couldn't bear to see him like a trapped beast, yearning for something he couldn't have because of this matter.
Duan Rongshi had never been so happy.
He hugged the woman tightly in his arms.
"Luo'er, are you agreeing to my request?"
"Give me a straight answer!"
Li Qingluo raised her head and smiled slightly: "I, Li Qingluo, have a bright moon in my heart. And Your Highness is that bright moon."
When exactly did it begin?
She couldn't explain it either.
I force myself to stay awake and not have any delusions, but when exactly did that vine that has already grown in my heart become so lush and green?
She didn't know.
Now that we don't know whether we'll live or die, let's be bold and reckless for once.
What if we don't know what lies ahead?
Even if I die, it's worth it.
The two smiled at each other, and Li Qingluo even boldly reached out to cup Prince Su's face.
Suddenly, he spoke up: "I want to see that butterfly."
Li Qingluo: ……
Her face flushed bright red, even redder than if she had applied rouge.
She felt a surge of frustration, struggling with her own thoughts for a long time, knowing that he probably wouldn't give up until he saw it today.
She had no choice but to simply pull open her clothes, turn her head away, and expose half of her shoulder to him.
"You'll see."
She turned around.
Duan Rongshi looked at the fair shoulders exposed before him, the smooth and delicate skin like solidified cream, and had no improper thoughts in his mind.
He reached out and touched the butterfly with his fingertips.
Qin Ling's words kept echoing in his ears.
"Those who take the drug will develop butterfly-shaped scars on their bodies... First there will be one, then over time it will become two, three... and finally, it will cover the entire body."
He pressed his thumb firmly against the butterfly, his voice low and hoarse: "Don't be afraid, I will capture Zulia and will never let you suffer the torment of this butterfly."
Li Qingluo looked up at Duan Rongshi in surprise.
In this world, besides his grandmother, he was the first person who truly wanted to protect him.
Although she always rushes and bumps into things on her own.
They often had to crawl out of those abysses covered in blood...
But when I walked into this dark dead end again...
This time, with him around, it didn't seem so scary anymore.
Li Qingluo wanted to pull up her clothes herself, but Duan Rongshi had already slowly helped her close her clothes.
"Luo'er, you are not allowed to leave me."
Promise me.
He embraced her tightly from behind, his domineering yet unyielding breath enveloping her completely.
Li Qingluo raised her hand and gently took his finger: "Okay, Your Highness."
...
The two quickly dispelled the cloying atmosphere.
Furthermore, Duan Rongshi picked up a scroll that had been carelessly tossed aside from the painting bucket next to the bookshelf.
After unfolding the painting, he pointed to the man in it and asked Li Qingluo, "Is this the same Young Master Zong you've met?"
Li Qingluo walked over and stood beside him. After seeing the person in the painting clearly, she was very surprised: "Your Highness, how did you come to have this... portrait of someone surnamed Zong?"
Duan Rongshi lowered his head and asked her, "Do you know the surname of the Great Chu royal family?"
Li Qingluo: "It seems to be Zong... Zongzheng?"
She finally realized: "Could it be that he isn't Young Master Zong at all, but Young Master Zongzheng?!"
"Is he a member of the Great Chu royal family? Does Your Highness know who he is?"
Duan Rongshi stared at the person in the painting: "Zongzheng Wuheng, the sixth son of the Emperor of Great Chu."
"Qinyu's real name is Zongzheng Yu'er."
Li Qingluo suddenly realized: "So he's Princess Qinyu's biological brother? No wonder he suddenly switched sides to Qinyu after you appeared. It's because he wouldn't really watch Princess Qinyu die!"
"When he first helped me commit mass murder at Chunyanlou, he must have already had ulterior motives towards me."
"But what exactly is his purpose?"
Duan Rongshi: "Half a month ago, I received a secret letter and this scroll, saying that Zongzheng Wuheng may have infiltrated Daliang."
"I didn't expect that he had already infiltrated Jinling so quickly."
"Zongzheng Yu'er can become a princess of both countries because her mother is also a princess of our Great Liang, and her aunt has already passed away. The Great Liang royal family can be a support for her as a princess with maternal relatives."
"But Zongzheng Wuheng, a prince from a neighboring country, dares to come to my Great Liang Kingdom in such a blatant and secretive manner. What could his intentions be?"
"These brother and sister have dared to act so arrogantly and recklessly in Daliang. Do they think the entire Daliang royal family is a bunch of good-for-nothings?!"
"You're asking for it!"
Duan Rongshi yanked the scroll over hard, causing it to fall to the ground.
His eyes were already filled with intense killing intent!
Zongzheng Wuheng must die, both for public and private reasons!
Seeing that he was quite angry, Li Qingluo went to pour him a cup of tea.
Seeing how considerate she was, Duan Rongshi's fierce aura gradually faded away.
He reached out and gently touched her head before taking the teacup from her.
Li Qingluo's face turned bright red again.
Although they had confessed their feelings to each other, she told herself that she would feel more at ease if she continued to act and speak openly as before.
But every time he made a casual, intimate gesture, it would make her heart pound uncontrollably, as if she were carrying a small animal inside her, and she couldn't suppress the urge to rush in.
She didn't want to become any stranger.
He quickly coughed lightly and continued talking about Zongzheng Wuheng: "According to Qin Ling, Zongzheng Wuheng captured me, changed my face and voice, and then tried to control me. He must want to get something from me... Wait!"
Li Qingluo remembered something.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Wu seems to know the underground passages of Chunyan Tower like the back of his hand, as if he knew the location of his own room."
"That day, the two of us..."
Li Qinglu recounted everything that happened between her and Eunuch Wu that day, including that she had seen Zongzheng Wuheng in the prison cell of Chunyan Tower.
Then, they concealed their disappearance from his sight, and dared not hide it.
After listening carefully, Duan Rongshi quickly analyzed the key point of the problem: "Because of Eunuch Wu's background, he does know about the many secret passages and city defenses underground."
"Zongzheng Wuheng must have been keeping this matter in mind."
"He thought you were the key to this matter, so he wanted to control you."
Li Qingluo: ...!!
The inexplicable suffering she's endured these past few days was actually because of this?
