Chapter 144 Proposal for Marriage Tomorrow
Gu Huailing's face turned completely pale. He said with a forced smile, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself first. If you want to marry Miss Qingqing, she may not be willing to marry you."
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Chen Yuan quickly gave Li Zhi a suggestion, "I think Your Highness should tell Qingqing the truth."
"Although Qingqing is simple and kind, she is not a tyrannical person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. If Your Highness speaks the truth, Qingqing will certainly understand you."
Li Chi obviously took Shen Yuan's words to heart. After thinking for a moment, he immediately headed towards the direction of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
He jumped into Liu Qingqing's yard with ease. The woman was still awake and was sitting by candlelight embroidering something.
Li Zhi leaned to the side and watched for a while. Seeing that the woman didn't notice him, he coughed lightly and said, "Watch carefully."
Suddenly there was a man's voice in the house. Liu Qingqing was startled and almost stuck the embroidery needle into her hand.
Her extremely clean eyes stared at Li Zhi with wide eyes, like a clean little deer.
Li Zhi's heart skipped a beat. He walked over and took the purse from the woman's hand. He half-knelt in front of her, gently pinched her jaw and kissed her.
Liu Qingqing was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. When she was about to suffocate herself, Li Chi finally chuckled and let her go.
Liu Qingqing's face was red, almost bleeding, and her voice was so weak and soft, "Why are you here at this time?"
Li Zhi looked at her with a smile in his eyes, "I missed you, so I came here."
Liu Qingqing's face turned even redder.
Li Zhi sighed and hugged her in his arms, "You blushed after just a few kisses, what will happen if we kiss gently on our wedding night?"
"Zhi, Zhinu, why are you so outspoken now?"
Liu whispered softly.
Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, "So, does Qingqing like the previous Zhinu or the current Zhinu?"
Liu Qingqing raised her eyes, looking at Li Zhi's handsome face with confusion, "Isn't it all you? Zhinu, why are you talking so strangely now?"
Zhinu chuckled and snatched the purse from her hand. "Qingqing, who did you embroider this purse for?"
Liu Qingqing looked at the purse in Zhinu's hand, and a smile instantly appeared on her face. "This is embroidered for the baby in my sister's belly."
Li Zhi felt a little jealous.
Liu Qingqing looked at him with a smile, "Sister treats us very well. If it weren't for Sister, I would have died long ago, okay? Now that Sister has a child, I will do my best to take care of her."
Li Zhi looked at her tenderly, "If we have children in the future, Qingqing will definitely be a good mother."
Liu nudged him gently, "What are you talking about?"
Li Zhi held her hand in his palm and said, "Gently, I will marry you with a beautiful wedding dress."
Liu Qingqing lowered her eyes and smiled softly, "I don't care about these, Zhinu, I don't care about these, I just want us to be fine."
Li Zhi looked into her eyes, "Actually, I am..."
Halfway through her words, a maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Miss, the Duke wants you to go to the study."
Liu Qingqing frowned subconsciously.
Seeing no sound from inside the room, the maid knocked on the door again, "Miss, Miss, are you in there?"
Liu Qingqing saw a flash of panic in Zhinu's eyes. She stood up and ordered outside, "I'll go there as soon as I know. You leave first."
There was no sound outside.
Li Zhi's face was a little cold. He said softly, "I will accompany you secretly."
Liu shook his head gently, "Nothing, you go back first. The Duke won't dare to embarrass me. He will just ask me for money later."
This old thing!
Li Zhi had a murderous look on his face, but he endured it for fear of scaring the little girl.
"I'll be waiting here for you. Tell me anything, okay?"
Liu nodded gently to Zhinu.
Outside the study of the Duke of Huguo, Liu Qingqing looked at the figure inside the room, mustered up the courage to push the door and walked in.
As soon as the Duke of Protectorate saw Liu Qingqing, he put on a fake smile, and Liu Qingqing immediately became alert.
"Qing'er, now that the Fourth Prince has fallen, you are no different from an abandoned woman. But your father does not despise you. Instead, he allows you to stay in the mansion, providing you with good food and drink. Your father is still good to you, right?"
Liu Qingqing clenched her hands tightly, "You know very well why the Duke of Protectorate kept me in his mansion."
The Duke of Huguo's expression changed. "You really have no manners at all. How can you talk to your father?"
A trace of sadness rose in Liu Qingqing's eyes. "Do you deserve the word father? Didn't you keep me in the mansion just for the dowry left by grandmother? I tell you, I won't give you a single penny of grandmother's dowry!"
The Duke of Huguo was exposed for his secrets and he was so angry that he raised his hand and hit Liu Qingqing in the face!
His hand was suddenly grabbed, and Li Zhi stood there with a sullen expression, "Who is the Duke of Protectorate going to hit?"
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
The Duke of Huguo felt like his wrist was about to break. He turned his head and glared at Li Zhi, "Who are you to dare to break into my mansion?"
Li Zhi had his face covered, revealing only a pair of frightening eyes.
He raised his foot and kicked the Protector of the Country to the ground, "Who are you to dare to speak to me like this?"
Liu Qingqing looked at Zhinu, who was worried. She went up to grab Zhinu and said, "Hurry up and leave, or you will be in danger."
The Protector of the Country also reacted, "You are that lowly horse slave! Dare to seduce the daughter of this Duke, this Duke will definitely kill you."
Li Zhi patted the back of Liu Qingqing's hand soothingly.
He stepped forward and stepped on the Duke of Protector's face, "If you call me that again, I'll never let you speak again."
Liu Qingqing was afraid that someone would harm Zhinu, and she was so anxious that she almost cried, "Zhinu, please leave quickly. I have something he covets. He won't do anything to me."
Li Zhi looked at the woman in front of him and said, "Okay, I'll take you back and then I'll leave."
He lowered his head to look at the Duke of Protectorate, "I'm warning you, if you dare to upset Qingqing again, I will definitely kill you. I mean what I say."
After Li Chi finished speaking, he kicked the Duke of Huguo hard again, knocking him unconscious.
Then he pulled Liu Qingqing and walked out.
He looked at Liu Qingqing, "Don't worry, Qing'er. He won't wake up until tomorrow."
"Wait for me one more night, and I'll come and ask for your hand in marriage tomorrow."
Liu nodded gently, "I believe you."
After Li Zhi returned to the palace, he went directly to the Queen's palace.
Emperor Tiansheng's old face drooped in the night wind.
"Father."
Seeing his son coming, Emperor Tiansheng looked a little embarrassed and said to the people in the palace: "Empress, I will leave first and come to see you another day."
When the queen heard Li Zhi's voice, she came out immediately.
Now that her son is back, she seems ten years younger and looks radiant.
She looked at Li Zhi and asked, "Why are you visiting Mother so late at night?"
Emperor Tiansheng was left aside, unable to leave or stay.
The queen was annoyed just looking at him and said, "It's late, the emperor should go home."
Inside the palace, the Queen looked at Li Zhi gently, "Zhi'er, why are you here in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"
Li Zhi nodded, "There is indeed something. I want to propose marriage to Qingqing tomorrow."
