After saying this, Guan covered her face and sobbed softly.
Li Qingluo and Nan Jia both looked incredulous.
"Is it, is there no hope? If we find that woman, maybe we can find an antidote?"
Guan: "This is the last hope for me and Jia'er's father. If we can capture that woman, and if she is willing to detoxify Jia'er, perhaps Jia'er can still be saved."
"But she's a figure in the martial arts world, traveling far and wide. Can we really find her by going to her master's sect? It seemed more like she was fleeing out of fear of punishment. If she continues to hide sincerely, Jia'er...what should Jia'er do?"
Guan sent Li Qingluo and Princess Nanping away to the second gate, and then went back to accompany Pei Nanjia with red eyes.
After the person was gone, Princess Nanping fell into Li Qingluo's arms and cried bitterly.
"Sister Nanjia is so pitiful, wuwuwu... Bah! That stinky Taoist priest is such a jerk. Why did he insist on keeping Sister Nanjia hanging for so many years, and yet still refuse to let her go? Now it's him who has brought Sister Nanjia to this state..."
"I'm going to kill him!"
"If he died in prison without anyone knowing, no one would know, right?"
"He's just a stinky Taoist priest, no one will care!"
Li Qingluo: "..."
She paused for a moment, then immediately advised Nan Jia, "Don't act rashly! Your Fifth Uncle must have had some dealings with Qing Yangzi."
Princess Nanping was surprised: "How...how do you know about the Fifth Uncle?"
Princess Nanping's eyes rolled around, and Li Qingluo looked at her helplessly: "My grandmother lived in Qingsong Temple for thirty years!"
Princess Nanping: "Oh..."
Li Qingluo sighed.
Princess Nanping's eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle Fifth! Sister Luo'er, my mother said that Uncle Fifth's mansion has many famous doctors, truly famous doctors!"
"He reportedly provided unlimited space and medicinal materials for the renowned doctors he found from all over the world to develop various medicines in exchange for their services. Each doctor was also allowed three months of travel each year. Even when these doctors needed to leave, they would always leave a few behind at the palace!"
"Sister Luo'er, should I ask Uncle Fifth Prince to send someone to take a look at Sister Nanjia?"
"But what if... he refuses because of Qingyangzi?"
"And he has always been cold and unkind..."
Li Qingluo: "Yes! Princess, you must ask for this! If your uncle, the Fifth Prince, agrees, perhaps this really will be Nan Jia's chance to survive. We can't give up any hope."
If he doesn't agree, Li Qingluo will definitely find a way to make him agree!
Nanping nodded seriously as if he had been entrusted with an important task.
The servant leading the way was still waiting for them. When the two were about to leave Pei Mansion immediately, the big maidservant beside Mrs. Pei Guogong caught up with them again.
"Your Highness! Your Highness, please stay."
"Your Highness, our wife would like to invite you to the main courtyard. Today, the girls in the mansion were ignorant and offended Your Highness, so our wife would like to ask the girls to apologize to you in person."
"Also, my wife owes Her Royal Highness some things, and I'd like to ask you to take them back to the Princess's residence today and pass them on to Her Royal Highness."
When Princess Nanping heard that those people wanted to apologize to her in person, how could she not go?
She pulled Li Qingluo and followed the maid away.
"Sister Luo'er, let's go take a look!"
Li Qingluo was somewhat confused. Would the Peiguo Mansion really embarrass the young lady in front of guests?
However, she was stopped at the main courtyard gate.
The maid looked at her with a fake smile, but with a respectful attitude: "Young lady, please stay. Our wife has some private words to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess first, and it is not convenient for others to hear. So please stay here for the time being and wait to be summoned before going in."
Nanping had already been taken away. She turned around to look at Li Qingluo and was about to say something when she was squeezed in by several maids.
Because Li Qingluo had never revealed her identity since she entered the Pei Mansion, it was obvious that they didn't want her, a person of unknown identity, to enter.
Li Qingluo naturally had no interest in going in and seeing any hypocritical apology.
She was just a little worried about Nanping.
However, thinking that Nanping was accompanied by a maidservant and nanny from the princess's mansion, Li Qingluo also looked at Que'er who was following behind her.
"No one should come out to summon us again. In that case, let's go."
After informing the gatekeeper of the main courtyard, Li Qingluo politely asked the maid to lead her out of Pei Mansion.
On the way to the second gate again, when passing by a garden archway, a maid with messy hair and untidy clothes suddenly rushed out in front of her, looking like a madman.
She was filled with terror. Seeing the unfamiliar face of Li Qingluo, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw. She rushed forward, knelt on the ground, grabbed the hem of Li Qingluo's skirt, and shouted: "Save me, save me... Miss, please save this servant——"
"This slave girl doesn't want to die—Ah!!"
Several vicious maids chased out, grabbed the maid's hair, and pushed her back hard.
But even though the maid's scalp was pulled and bleeding, and her hair was pulled out in clumps, she refused to let go of the hand that was holding Li Qingluo's skirt.
The maidservant let out a "Pooh" sound and came up to pry her fingers apart one by one, not caring whether she broke her fingers or not. The whole alley was filled with heart-wrenching screams.
"You lowly slave! How dare you run away? Where can you escape to in this house?"
