Chapter 180 Did Luo'er Take Advantage of Prince Su? (Revised)
Li Qingluo hesitated for only a moment before doing so.
Anyway, he doesn't know, and I'm not exactly at a disadvantage.
Prince Su was so handsome that no one could get close to him under normal circumstances. No one in Jinling City dared to utter a word of disrespect towards him. Today, I can say that I have gotten the better of him.
Having convinced herself of this, Li Qingluo once again followed the same method, pinching his cheeks, then holding a mouthful of water in her mouth and lowering her head to pass it to Duan Rongshi.
She immediately closed his jaw and held it there. After a moment, she finally saw him swallow lightly.
Li Qingluo was overjoyed: "That's great! If we can drink water, we can definitely survive!"
Half an hour later, Li Qingluo examined all the wounds, big and small, on Duan Rongshi's body.
It turned out that, in addition to the poisoned wounds on his shoulders and back, he also had some other minor injuries.
There was one large wound where the flesh had split open, and the blood that flowed out soaked through his trousers, turning the blood black and hard.
For any visible wound, Li Qingluo would gather herbs, crush them, and apply them to the wound.
After doing all this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking down at Prince Su's face, Li Qingluo said softly, "I don't know if it will work for you, but from now on, we can only leave it to fate and rely on yourself."
Also, I hope that Zhuiyu and the others can find us soon.
After all, with Prince Su in such a state, he could no longer drag him along, blindly searching for the way.
They were lucky today; they just ended up in a hidden cave.
But what if you're unlucky and fall into an abyss?
Li Qingluo could no longer gamble and could only place her hopes on the guards around Prince Su.
Exhausted, Li Qing lay down for a moment before getting up again.
Because her own stomach had already rumbled several times.
Li Qingluo had grown up in the mountains, so fishing in the river, hunting in the mountains, and making a living by cooking were all easy tasks for her.
In order to slack off, Li Qingluo took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and tied her skirt to her waistband.
Then, with her bare legs and feet, now snow-white thanks to her grandmother's care, she stepped into the stream.
The stream babbled, and the snow water was so cold it hurt to the bone.
But she was already used to it, and after grimacing and gasping for breath a few times, she quickly adapted to the temperature of the flowing water.
After catching the fish, Li Qinglu went to find some wild fruits that could be eaten in winter.
For example, persimmons and winter jujubes.
Although they were hanging high up in the tree, she climbed up by hugging the trunk like a little monkey.
The jujube tree had thorns, so she used other branches to hook them over, making it easy to pick the jujubes.
However, if others saw her like this, they would probably be shocked.
She is now a noblewoman in Jinling City.
When she is still and quiet, she still has a rather dignified and serene appearance.
But now that there's no one around, she's climbing trees and going down into the river; where is the slightest bit of the demeanor of a lady from a noble family?
But in fact, this is precisely when she is most at ease.
The fragrant grilled fish soon filled the entire cave with its aroma.
Li Qingluo took a sniff and immediately began to devour the food.
Now that she has a dagger, she can process fish quickly and cleanly.
She also stuffed some herbs inside the fish's belly to replace the lack of seasoning.
Not only does it remove the fishy smell, but it also adds a lot of fragrance. Taking a bite at this moment is simply a delicacy!
Having been hungry for a whole day, Li Qingluo finished the grilled fish and also ate four or five pieces of fruit.
After we had eaten and drunk our fill, the sky gradually began to darken again.
It turns out that almost a whole day has passed.
At this time, Jingyun Manor was located 100 miles outside Jinling City.
Zheng Lingzhou slapped his subordinate across the face with an iron palm: "You bastard! Since you knew she was a girl from the Li family, why did you still try to kill her and force her off the cliff?! If she loses her life, I will make you pay with your life!"
Zheng Lingzhou's overwhelming rage silenced everyone in the hall, who lowered their heads in fear.
Zheng Wanxiu stepped forward and grabbed her younger brother: "Lingzhou, since this has already happened, we should hurry up and send people to search at the bottom of the cliff."
Zheng Lingzhou's eyes reddened: "Sister, how do we find her? The bottom of that cliff is teeming with wolves and tigers. Even if she fell down, she would have been smashed to pieces and dragged away to be devoured long ago. How are we supposed to find her?"
After saying this, Zheng Lingzhou was so enraged that he drew his sword and slit his subordinate's throat.
The others were all shocked, never expecting him to actually do it!
Moreover, isn't it still completely uncertain whether the Li family girl is alive or dead?
Someone stepped forward, heartbroken, and said, "Master Zheng, how can the brothers still be loyal to you after you've acted this way?"
"Besides, even if Master Cao did something wrong, you should give him a chance. How can you so easily take his life because of a woman?"
"Furthermore, I believe that even if Hall Master Cao does this, it must be for the sake of our sect!"
Zheng Lingzhou sneered: "Consider? Consider what? Since you're speaking up for him, why don't you tell me how Hall Master Cao has considered things for our sect?"
The man, with a look of resignation to death, ignored the advice of others and continued, "Master, you once said that whenever we encounter Miss Li, all of us in the sect should show her respect and let her do as she pleases. But this operation was planned by our Lotus Sect for several months, with meticulous planning and painstaking effort."
"If there's even the slightest mistake, won't all our efforts be in vain?"
"Nearly a thousand brothers risked their lives this time. First, they disguised themselves as traitors, used feints to lure people into their trap, and then launched a fierce counterattack. All of this was done for one purpose: to kill Prince Su!"
“Prince Su is the most threatening person to our Lotus Sect in the current Liang Dynasty, so killing him is imperative.”
"Even if it costs the lives of hundreds of brothers, we will still be determined to annihilate them like ghosts!"
"I have also heard that Miss Li happened to be next to Prince Su during yesterday's events."
"But why did these two people come together?"
"Could it be that the General of the Cavalry's mansion has now sided with Prince Su?"
"If that's the case, what does it matter if the eldest daughter of the Li family is dead?"
After the man finished speaking, Zheng Lingzhou angrily held his sword to his neck.
"So, you all want her dead? Even though you know she's a daughter of the Li family, someone I'm protecting, you still think she deserves to die?"
"That's why we forced her off that bottomless cliff without leaving any room for retreat!"
Zheng Wanxiu couldn't bear to see her younger brother continue to act so erratically, so she quickly stepped forward and pushed him away.
"Enough!"
"You all get down right now!"
The man still refused to leave. "Today, Master Zheng was so enraged that he killed his brothers who had fought alongside him in the past. How can this not chill people's hearts?"
"If the sect leader doesn't give us an explanation today, we will certainly not accept this!"
After saying that, the man actually charged towards Zheng Lingzhou's sword. Zheng Wanxiu turned around, stood in front of him, and shoved the man hard with the hilt of her sword.
"If you really want to die, why don't you try my knife first?"
The man, looking horrified, took a large step back.
Although Zheng Wanxiu was a woman, in their Lotus Sect, women were just as capable as men of undertaking great responsibilities.
Master Zheng is usually very composed and proper, and would never be so biased towards his younger brother.
She should have known what terrible mistake Zheng Xiangzhu made today!
But Zheng Wanxiu said, "To be honest, the reason my brother and I protect that Li family girl so much is because she is Ling Zhou's beloved disciple. Not only that, she is also my and Ling Zhou's niece."
"Although we are not directly related by blood, we both lost our entire clan when we were young, so we cherish our family even more."
“If someone were to harm my family, we would naturally be extremely angry, and even if we took extreme measures, I would not think that he was really wrong.”
"So, what do you think?"
The area below immediately erupted in discussion.
"So that's how they're related?"
"If they really are family, and we weren't careful enough and got killed this time... then Master Cao's death wouldn't be entirely unjust..."
"How can you say that? Hall Master Cao is doing this for the sake of our Lotus Sect! What about his family? Once they've joined the sect, we, the followers, are all brothers and sisters!"
"Yes, our leader once said that those without families are family to each other. Today, Master Zheng has really gone too far!"
"I'm asking you, do they also have some connection to the General's Mansion?"
Hearing the growing murmurs, Zheng Wanxiu slowly drew her sword: "Anyone who disagrees, then fight me, Zheng Wanxiu, first!"
As a result, the two who came up were fearless, but they both ended up lying in pools of blood on the ground.
However, Zheng Lingzhou did not make another move throughout the entire process.
Finally, Zheng Wanxiu sheathed her blood-stained knife, and Zheng Lingzhou stepped forward and said, "My brother and I have no intention of making enemies of all of you! But from now on, if anyone in our sect disregards my repeated orders and acts on their own initiative, they will all suffer the same fate!"
In the middle of the night, Li Qingluo touched Prince Su's forehead, intending to observe whether he would suddenly develop a high fever, but found that he seemed to be ice cold all over.
Like a corpse that has already gone cold!
Could it be that he's dead again?
Li Qinglu was startled and quickly checked Prince Su's breath.
Even after discovering that he was still breathing out a faint warmth, Li Qingluo still dared not relax, because she found that Prince Su's body temperature was so low that it was not like that of an ordinary person!
If the hypothermia continues like this, I'm afraid I'll really die.
Li Qingluo quickly patted Prince Su's face and whispered, "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
However, Duan Rongshi's face had turned somewhat bluish.
Li Qingluo dared not delay any longer and quickly intensified the fire that was already burning nearby.
He even took off two more layers of his own clothes and covered Prince Su with them.
The fire burned brighter and brighter, and even Li Qingluo felt waves of heat washing over her, her forehead even sweating.
But Prince Su's body remained ice-cold.
It seemed that the temperature of the fire and the layers of cotton clothing were nothing more than a drop in the ocean for him.
what to do?
Are we just going to stand by and watch him die of hypothermia?
Li Qinglu stared blankly at the person in front of her, and the thought suddenly rose in her mind again: He can't die! She absolutely can't let him die like this!
Almost without hesitation, Li Qingluo took off another layer of her clothes until she was left with only the last layer of pure white undergarment.
"Consider this a secret of mine, a secret you will never know in your life..."
