His chest and arms were stiff.
Li Qingluo didn't dare to look at the color on his chest, so he only looked at his arms.
When I saw this, I was stunned for a moment.
There were four or five wounds on his arms, big and small, new and old.
They were all still wrapped in gauze.
The one with the newest color is a new wound on the right upper arm.
"Were you injured during this bandit suppression campaign?"
Li Qingluo reached out and touched it, his eyes wet with tears.
Duan Rongshi: "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
She pointed to the new spot and said, "What about here? Does it hurt?"
Li Qingluo's eyes and nose were red, and she started crying.
Duan Rongshi suddenly felt very regretful.
If I had known this, I shouldn't have shown it to her.
Originally, he was half-heartedly trying to make her feel distressed.
However, he ended up making things worse and really hurt her. He actually felt several times more pain than she did.
"It doesn't hurt."
He gently touched her head with his big hand and was about to close his clothes when a loud shout came from outside the window: "What are you doing!?"
"Luo'er!"
"How could you, how could you do such a thing!?"
"A woman forcibly stripping a man of his clothes, how can this be considered decent?"
"Separate quickly!"
"separate!!"
"Get down here right here!!"
Mrs. Pei growled in agony and nearly fainted.
She originally thought that Prince Su was a lecher who coveted his own obedient granddaughter.
Who knew that his granddaughter was also a female pervert.
Look at her, she opened the window and casually stripped off Prince Su's upper body. Where is the modesty of a girl?
Although I know that they love each other.
This Prince Su even disregarded his own safety for Luo'er. His love for Luo'er is truly deep!
But after all, they still have no official status. If this gets out, how will she, a girl, live?
"That's too much!"
“It’s incredible!”
Mrs. Pei was about to come in angrily.
Li Qingluo's face turned pale.
She nervously climbed down from the couch: "It's all over. It's all your fault, Your Highness, for seducing me..."
Duan Rongshi pulled up his robe very calmly.
"Don't worry. What's coming will come eventually."
He stood up but not to greet Mrs. Pei. The two of them pulled Li Qingluo back to the bed.
Then he told her: "Put on your shoes and socks."
"Someone from the palace is coming soon."
Li Qingluo then remembered that he had been running around in front of him barefoot.
After all, she had understood many of the etiquettes of a lady from a noble family. She shyly hid her feet, and Duan Rongshi pulled down the bed curtain to cover her completely.
When Madam Pei came in angrily, she heard him say, "Old General, it was I who was rude. It's not Luo'er's fault."
"If you want to scold, scold me."
Madam Pei: ...
Can she scold him!?
ah! ?
He just rescued Luo'er last night. Although he went out for a while, he came back later to stay with Luo'er and did not leave.
A prince rested on the low couch for no more than an hour.
It is difficult for any man in this world, let alone a prince, to be so attentive and considerate.
Pei Xiuzhen saw it all, how could she be a heartless person?
Moreover, even if she was Luo'er's grandmother, she would never dare to scold him, a prince.
What crime is that?
But he just protected Luo'er like this, did he really think that everyone else was blind?
Mrs. Pei was so angry that she almost rolled her eyes and turned her back.
He could only glare fiercely at Li Qingluo behind the curtain: "Luo'er, do you have anything to say?!"
Li Qingluo quickly knelt down on the bed and said, "Grandma, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."
As soon as the voice fell, Zheng Ma Ma rushed in happily: "Old Madam——"
"girl--"
"Someone's coming from the palace!"
"This is the Empress Dowager's decree. Tell the young lady to come out and receive it!"
Li Qingluo had already put on her shoes and socks. Upon hearing this, she pulled open the bed curtain.
She looked at Duan Rong and asked, "Imperial decree?"
Duan Rongshi nodded slightly: "Go."
"I'll pick you up later."
"The imperial edict from Prince Su's Mansion should have arrived by now."
After saying this, he regained his composure, nodded respectfully to Madam Pei, and then strode away.
It seemed as if the scene of being caught by Madam Pei just now was not shameful at all for him.
Seeing him so calm and composed, Madam Pei cursed inwardly: This guy is so shameless...
However, why would the Empress Dowager issue an imperial decree?
At this time, Madam Pei was too lazy to argue with Li Qingluo and just asked her to quickly get dressed and come out to receive the order.
After Li Qingluo was dressed up properly, the grandfather and grandson went to the front hall together.
In addition to Aunt Fang who was beside the Empress Dowager, there was also a senior eunuch.
"The Empress Dowager's decree—"
"By the providence of Heaven, the Empress Dowager proclaims:
Today, there is Li Qingluo, the daughter of the Li family. She is the eldest granddaughter of General Xiuli. She has a gentle temperament, is dignified and generous, and is intelligent and courageous.
During the war in Nanshan Villa, you used your intelligence and extraordinary martial arts skills to resolutely and decisively save my life.
She is both virtuous and beautiful, with admirable manners, and can be regarded as a role model for women all over the world.
I am deeply comforted and specially promote her to the title of Princess of Yaoguang County.
He was also given a mansion and some gold and silk to commend his virtue.
…
Announce it to the world and let everyone know.
I hereby order you."
"General Pei, Miss Li, please accept my order!"
The chief eunuch handed the Empress Dowager's decree to Li Qingluo with a smile.
When the grandfather and grandson were about to reach out their hands in confusion to express their gratitude, the eunuch unexpectedly took out another imperial edict from behind his back.
"Don't be impatient."
"There is another imperial decree."
