Li Qingluo immediately cursed Zong Zheng Wuheng eight hundred times in his heart.
"Then this person's intentions are more than just sinister. He wants our Jinling City's underground defense map, so he must have other intentions!"
"Your Highness, this person must not be allowed to leave Daliang!"
Duan Rongshi: "Don't worry, he won't live to return to Da Chu."
As he spoke, he looked down at her again, and when he thought of the poison in her body, he felt annoyed.
"Does Zaina's notes contain any clues about the butterfly scars on her body?"
Li Qingluo shook his head: "Indeed not."
Duan Rongshi: "Don't be afraid. Do you remember that you asked me to find a new Miao girl to save Zaina's daughter?"
"There's already some progress and news on this matter. The new Miao girl has already set out and is on her way to Jinling."
Li Qingluo looked at him.
I thought to myself: It seems that he is the one who is more afraid of this, right?
Li Qingluo's heart trembled slightly when he knew that someone was more concerned about his life than himself.
She pretended to be nonchalant and changed the subject: "Your Highness, this Zuliya is from Miaojiang. I remember that Miaojiang is also the territory of the Great Chu Kingdom?"
Li Qingluo really didn't know much about Da Chu.
Duan Rongshi explained everything to her one by one: "Yes. Although this Miao border is mysterious and strange, and sounds like a land outside the heavens and beyond the jurisdiction, it is actually part of the territory of the Great Chu."
"Zuliya, the leader of a sect called the Yungu Sect, came to Daliang to disrupt the situation. He got involved with the Crown Prince, the Lotus Sect, and even Princess Qinyu. Now, he is inseparable from Zongzheng Wuheng."
"This person must have deeper plans and purposes."
Li Qingluo: "Could it be that Zuliya is a spy sent by the Great Chu royal family to Daliang?"
"Your Highness, have you known this for a long time?"
Duan Rongshi: "No, I know this person just like you."
It was only before Pei Guogong's death that Zaina appeared and revealed Zulia's existence.
Li Qingluo: "But how dare they? A prince of Great Chu and a princess of Great Chu are plotting against Daliang. Aren't they afraid that we'll find out and arrest them all?"
Duan Rongshi: "Zong Zheng Yu'er has long been arrogant and conceited since she took control of the Lotus Sect."
"But in the eyes of my uncle, the Emperor, she is nothing more than a chess piece. Otherwise, he wouldn't have promised her to the young prince of the Western Regions."
"She's so conceited, how can she accept her fate?"
"She wanted to stay in Daliang and establish her own dynasty. Seeing that I repeatedly refused to take the bait, she turned around and colluded with the Crown Prince."
"They talk about an ideal country with high-sounding words, but in reality, it's just for their own ambitions and purposes."
"But the prince and she are just using each other."
Li Qingluo: "So, the Crown Prince knows her identity as the Lotus Sect Leader?"
Duan Rongshi glanced at Li Qingluo meaningfully: "He knows, but the world doesn't know 'he knows' yet."
Li Qingluo's eyes lit up instantly.
At this moment, she really admired Duan Rongshi.
It turned out that he mastered so many things, yet he was still able to remain calm. No matter how often his father suppressed and exploited him, he just continued to advance his pace in an orderly manner.
If he were to take action, the prince would probably never be able to get up again.
Duan Rongshi continued, "Zong Zheng Wuheng's mother's family has no power or influence in the Great Chu. He has no choice but to find another way. If he can bring back the Jinling Underground City Defense Map from Daliang, it might actually be considered a great achievement."
Li Qingluo: "And the military manual! Zaina and Princess Qinyu initially controlled the Pei family in order to obtain the Pei family's military manual!"
Li Qingluo felt a heavy sinking in his heart after he finished speaking.
The Great Chu wanted not only Pei's military book but also the underground defense map of Jinling City. Its intentions were obvious.
What’s even more hateful is that the prince colluded with Qin Yu and even the spies of Da Chu for his own status.
A cold expression flashed across Li Qingluo's face. "Your Highness, this person, whose virtue is unworthy of his position, should be made to feel the pain of falling into the abyss once again."
Duan Rongshi: "Don't be impatient. Take your time. We still have plenty of time."
"This king wants my Luoluo to return to her original appearance first."
"Only by being free from pain and disaster can you accompany this king for a long time."
"I told you so much because I don't intend to let you run away again."
"Otherwise, you know that this king is not someone who is easily provoked, and he will not let it go easily."
Li Qingluo's heart suddenly felt bitter and sweet.
She suspected that if she really died, he would chase her down to hell and bring her back.
It was almost dark when Duan Rongshi reluctantly sent Li Qingluo back to General Xiuli's mansion in a carriage.
As soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out and ran away without looking back.
She was afraid that her grandmother would get wind of it.
Little did she know that Duan Rongshi looked at her back and said "tsk", and even called her a little ungrateful wolf.
"Is this king so shameful to be seen in public?"
Prince Su was extremely depressed and angrily threw down the curtain of the carriage.
However, under her repeated requests, Duan Rongshi agreed to keep the fact that they had expressed their feelings to each other a secret from Mrs. Pei for the time being.
He didn't know that she felt so guilty because she had promised Mrs. Pei that she would find a live-in grandson-in-law for her...
But now, let alone a son-in-law, she was just afraid that her life would be in danger.
So I plan to keep it a secret from my grandmother for the time being.
After five days, I found an excuse to go out and temporarily avoid my grandmother.
If she could survive this disaster safely, she would then confess everything to her grandmother.
This will also save her from having to worry anymore.
After the two said goodbye, Prince Su returned to his palace and personally ordered Qin Ling to make a healing ointment within three days.
