Chapter 277 Luo'er covets Prince Su's good looks?
Li Qingluo: How did we suddenly get involved with her?
She was indeed a little scared.
So when she saw Prince Su walking towards her, Li Qingluo couldn't help but step back.
But she forgot that there was a cliff at her feet. She stepped onto a loose rock, lost her footing, and tumbled down the cliff.
Before Li Qingluo could even cry out in surprise, Prince Su's expression changed, and he reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
The night was still.
In her panic, Li Qingluo reached out and grabbed Prince Su's collar.
However, perhaps because the cloak was too loose, her exertion ripped open the collar of Prince Su's robe, instantly exposing half of his snow-white chest to the night...
Li Qingluo: ……
Duan Rongshi: ...
In the ensuing awkward silence, neither of them knew how to react.
Aside from that time in the cave when she took off his clothes, where else had Li Qingluo ever experienced such absurd things?
He was completely stunned and stared intently at the color in front of him that was so captivating that he couldn't look away.
Memories flooded back into my mind.
How handsome is Prince Su's body?
She must be the most knowledgeable woman in the world.
It may not look as soft as a woman's, but it actually feels really nice to touch...
Firm to the touch, beautiful lines...
Li Qingluo's fingers were itching to move when a voice came from above her head: "Li Qingluo, have you looked enough?"
Prince Su stared down at her, gritting his teeth as he warned her.
Li Qingluo cried out in surprise, finally realizing what was happening and quickly covered her eyes.
Prince Su: ...
He first turned her around, and only let go of her after she was completely out of danger.
Li Qingluo turned around and repeatedly said, "Your Highness, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. It was all an accident, I really didn't see anything!"
Prince Su: Does she even believe that herself?
"Alright, let's go back."
He stopped pressing her about what had just happened, turned around, pulled up his collar, and strode away.
Unfortunately, it was too dark, and Li Qingluo didn't see the crimson stain that ran from his neck to his ears...
Li Qinglu followed behind, dejected.
Granny Zheng caught up: "Miss, what's wrong?"
No wonder she didn't see anything.
She was simply too old and her eyesight was failing, and Leng Dian kept diverting her attention, so she had no idea that Li Qingluo had just made a suggestive gesture towards Prince Su.
How could Li Qingluo possibly say it?
She could only scratch her head and say, "Granny, I don't think I'm a proper, good girl."
She had just tried to reach out and touch His Highness Prince Su's chest!
I've touched it before, back in the cave!
You were just so lustful!
What made her even more ashamed was that she secretly swallowed twice...
Li Qingluo was extremely sad.
She felt that if she were a husband, he would probably be a person of questionable character.
This was a huge blow to her.
Granny Zheng: "Miss, what are you saying? Our young lady is pure and genuine. There was such a big piece of fat meat right next to her, but you didn't even think of eating it. This old servant has never seen anyone more foolish than our young lady."
Li Qingluo: "I'm really hungry, let's go eat first!"
Granny Zheng looked at Li Qinglu with suspicion: So, Miss, you really don't understand, or are you just too clear-headed to think about it?
After all, that's His Highness Prince Su!
There are probably very few women in the world who would dare to covet his manhood.
Li Qingluo was not turned away by Duan Rongshi.
The two sat down to eat together. Zheng Mama and Leng Dian wanted to serve them, but Duan Rongshi chased them out.
Thus, Li Qing became the one who served Prince Su his meals.
"Your Highness, would you like some?"
What about this one?
"This tastes pretty good, it's crispy and goes well with rice."
"This fish is a bit overcooked, Your Highness, would you like some?"
Prince Su ate a lot without realizing it.
The bone dish in front of them was piled up like a small mountain by Li Qingluo.
Although she kept serving him food, it didn't stop her from eating more than him.
Duan Rongshi stared blankly at his empty rice bowl.
He never cared about meals.
Perhaps it was because since his mother's death, eating alone was lonely and uninteresting, and he had no appetite.
For him, eating was nothing more than filling his stomach and staying alive.
Until I met her...
The food she cooked was surprisingly to his liking.
It's not that it's particularly exquisite, nor does it boast any exceptional taste.
It was simply because he seemed to have tasted a hint of the familiar flavors of home cooking he had never experienced before, and was able to discern a certain taste.
He originally thought it was just because she was a good cook.
Unexpectedly, I was able to enjoy my meal with her today.
Why her?
His gaze remained fixed on her, and seeing that she had already eaten a lot, yet was still enjoying her meal so much, he couldn't help but drink another bowl of soup himself...
It turns out, she's not just a good cook.
To him, she was still a woman to eat with.
Duan Rongshi couldn't help but slightly curl his lips.
"Would you like to come to my side?"
He nearly bit his tongue after saying that.
Li Qingluo looked up at him: "What did you say, Your Highness?"
She was stunned.
This...this...
Duan Rongshi clenched his fist and coughed lightly, a hint of unease he had never felt before flashing across his face: "What I mean is that you will work for me. I will protect your Xiuli General's Mansion for life."
He's brought this up repeatedly; at first he was giving her a choice, now he's directly trying to entice her?
Grandmother had been away from the court for thirty years, and the beautiful general's mansion was now just the two of them. If something happened, it would indeed be difficult for them to support each other.
Li Qingluo replied quickly, "If I didn't want to rely on Your Highness, I wouldn't have cooperated with you today to unveil the Lotus Sect Master's true identity."
Although she had disguised herself, there was no turning back.
Zheng Lingzhou must have seen through her identity.
Moreover, Princess Qinyu will be returning to Jinling soon.
Now that Li Qingluo knows her true identity, although she is on guard, she is aware of her situation and understands that she is completely unable to contend with Princess Qinyu in her current state.
So how could she not know what was good for her after receiving this promise from Prince Su?
As the saying goes, "A wise man submits to circumstances," and Li Qingluo should really start planning for the future of General Xiuli's mansion.
Li Qingluo rose and bowed respectfully: "I know that I and General Xiuli's family have nothing, but I am grateful that Your Highness is willing to give me a chance to protect myself and my grandmother in the future."
"From now on, if Your Highness ever needs my help, I will do my utmost, even if it means going through fire and water."
She expressed her determination with great conviction, but Duan Rongshi frowned slightly.
Why did he feel that something was wrong with this?
Outside Qingsong Town.
Princess Qinyu, veiled and dressed in pure white, sat on horseback, her eyes fixed on the blazing fire with a sinister and cold gaze, her whole body filled with rage and murderous intent.
"Fifth Master Yue!"
"I, Qinyu, will avenge today's humiliation one day!"
"I don't care who you are, you've forced me to cut off my tail to save myself today. All my years of hard work have been reduced to ashes, and all my schemes have been lost. This kind of monstrous hatred is irreconcilable!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
It was Qin Yu's eight personal envoys who finally arrived.
"Your subordinates greet you, Master!"
After the eight jade envoys knelt down in unison, they all rose and came forward to check on Qin Yu for any injuries.
After confirming that their master was unharmed, the eight men all began to apologize.
"It's our fault for not protecting you this time, which gave others the opportunity to plot against you."
"If we were here, we would have slaughtered every single one of those who dared to offend our master! We would have made sure they never returned!"
"Master, I'm sorry you've been wronged."
Although Qinyu felt hatred in her heart, she still maintained a degree of rationality and did not take her anger out on them.
"It was my carelessness this time. I don't blame you. You all happened to be sent out by me. I always plan things out perfectly, but I never expected that I would fall into a trap this time."
"But there must be traitors within the Lotus Sect!"
Upon hearing this, the eight jade envoys all changed their expressions.
"traitor?"
Who could it be?
Qin Yu shook her head: "As you know, I have never interfered in the affairs of the sect. When I first established the Lotus Sect, I only wanted to gather some forces in the martial arts world so that they could be used for my great cause in the future. I never expected the Lotus Sect to achieve what it has today."
"Although I am nominally the leader of the sect, to put it nicely, I am the leader, but to put it bluntly, the real power in the sect is not in my hands. It is in the hands of the Zheng siblings!"
"Therefore, eliminating traitors within the sect is not something that can be accomplished simply by issuing a decree from me."
Yu Shi: "What's so difficult about that? In the past, you established the Four Protectors and the heads of each incense hall to divide power. Now, all we need to do is take back the power held by the Four Protectors and the heads of each incense hall. Kill all those who have rebellious intentions as a warning to others, and they will naturally be filled with fear."
"They're just a brother and sister from the martial arts world."
"Could they have succeeded without a leader?"
“You are the Lotus God of the Lotus Sect. The believers in the sect have all come for you. The ideal country they want is also what you, Master, desire. Only your ideal can bring the world to that day of enlightenment.”
"Therefore, if the Zheng siblings truly harbor rebellious intentions, then killing them would be the way to cleanse the church!"
Qinyu thought so too.
Because of her status as a princess, she could not reveal the true identity of the Lotus Sect Leader to the world.
All along, they could only act from behind the Lotus Sect.
But we can't wait any longer.
That person needs her, and she must hold everything in her hands to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Although it was a pity to lose the Zheng siblings, his right-hand men, Zheng Lingzhou clearly sensed something about Master Yue's identity today, but after escaping, he remained tight-lipped and refused to say a word.
Qin Yu angrily drew her sword and stabbed him in the arm.
That bastard, has he forgotten who promoted him and gave him these positions?
Now they are building up influence within the church, consolidating their position, and establishing their authority and credibility. Do they really think she is completely unaware?
If that's the case, then don't blame yourself for turning your back on them ruthlessly.
Qinyu: "Making them submit is easy, isn't it?"
"The Zheng siblings claimed that Li Qingluo, the eldest daughter of the General of the Cavalry, was their niece, and that all the followers should avoid her and not offend her. It sounds like they were supporting the legitimate daughter, but for an uncle of a concubine's son to make such a claim, he can only fool those fools from the mountains."
"Isn't all of this for that sickly boy?"
"Do you really think I don't know?"
"Although dealing with them would only require targeting that sickly fellow, which would throw them into chaos and force them to obediently hand over power, I don't want to go too far and completely destroy our years of friendship."
"At least, I'm willing to give the siblings another chance."
"If that's the case, then let's arrest Li Qingluo first and see what choice they have to make."
Qin Yu narrowed her eyes with a sinister look; she had disliked Li Qingluo for a long time anyway.
He dared to defy his own warnings and approach Duan Rongshi repeatedly.
Qin Yu had been too busy to deal with people, but this time she would settle both old and new scores at once!
