Li Qingluo exclaimed in surprise: "Zaina? Master, it's her!"
She looked at Nangong Di, "But how is this possible? Shouldn't she be at least fifty years old?"
Nangong Di also found it very strange and thought: Perhaps only my junior brother and the old lady can tell whether this woman is really Zaina.
But looking at Zaina now, her face is clearly no different from that of a 17 or 18-year-old girl!
Li Qingluo's heart was beating wildly, she seemed to be about to touch Zaina's real secret.
Duan Rongshi knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he just glanced at Li Qingluo.
Li Qingluo hurriedly gave him a simple explanation: "Your Highness, if her identity is true, then she is the witch doctor beside the old Duke!"
"She disappeared at the Pei family, and I didn't expect her to be here. But she should be at least fifty years old, but now she looks about my age. This is really weird."
"Could it be that this blood insect can really make people immortal?"
Duan Rongshi saw how excited she was, but he just stared at her intently and said, "It seems that I really brought the right person here today."
Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"
Duan Rongshi did not answer, but called Zhui Yu over.
"Go, tell Pofeng to bring Shadow over here, and do as I command..."
After a few whispers, Zhui Yu understood clearly: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Then Zhui Yu went out first.
When everyone in the hall was still puzzled, the masked young man began to explain: "Everyone, look at her. Isn't she stunningly beautiful, as young and fresh as an eighteen-year-old girl?"
"But she's actually quite old. She's at least seventy this year, right? Zaina, am I right?"
There was an exclamation in the hall.
"seventy!?"
“How is this possible!?”
"Yes, there are very few people in Daliang who can live to be seventy years old. How can they maintain such a youthful and beautiful appearance?"
"No, that's absolutely not true!"
Everyone treated all this as a joke, and the masked young man was in no hurry to explain.
He just continued calmly, "What a pity! She's now suffered a backlash. The person she poisoned is now unable to move or speak. Perhaps he's dying."
"That's why she looks like this."
There was an uproar in the hall.
"I've heard about the power of the Miaojiang Gu worms. How come they are so strange?"
"Yes, but what did she do to keep her appearance unchanged and stay youthful for so many years?"
"If it's true, then wouldn't it be a truly rare treasure?"
"But we don't know what to do with this bug. And didn't you hear what he said? Raising this bug requires not only money but also life. Even a Lisboa Casino can't afford it, so how can we possibly do it?"
There was a lot of discussion below, and almost no one dared to take a picture of this mysterious thing.
And most people still think that this is just a gimmick created by the Lisboa Casino and is not true at all.
If it is true, why be so vague and secretive?
But in the rooms upstairs, many people had already had this idea.
Leng Dian came in and said, "Your Highness, Prince Jin and Prince Yun have already gone to inquire about the price."
Zhui Yu, who had just returned, held his sword and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin does have the means to buy this insect, but we don't know if it's real or fake. What if it's a scam? Wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Leng Dian: "Perhaps His Royal Highness Prince Yun wants this thing more? His birthday is coming soon, and he might want to take the opportunity to present it to the two above as a token of filial piety..."
Duan Rongshi only had two words for these two brothers: "Idiots."
After cursing, he suddenly smiled coldly, sat down and leaned back.
"It seems that the person this Lisboa Casino is waiting for today is me. If that's the case, how can I let them down?"
"Go ahead, bid for this bug in the name of Master Yue Wu first. No matter what the price is, I'll give you a higher price!"
Li Qingluo looked at Prince Su in confusion.
A very bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
"Your Highness, could it be that... the Duke is in your hands?"
Duan Rongshi turned his head instantly and looked at her sharply.
He raised his hand, and Leng Dian immediately extended his hand to invite Madam Zheng and Nangong Di: "Could you please do me a small favor?"
Nanny Zheng looked at Li Qingluo in embarrassment.
Nangong Di walked out first with his hands behind his back: "Let's go."
Li Qingluo nodded, and Nanny Zheng followed her out.
After Li Qingluo and Prince Su were the only ones left in the room, Duan Rongshi looked at her seriously and asked her word by word, "Have you thought it through? If you insist on asking further, I can tell you what you want to know."
"But once you get into this mess, there's no way out for you."
There was a warning clearly hidden in his eyes.
It seemed that if she dared to take this step, she would really be doomed.
There was clearly a cliff in front of them, just like the hill she would jump off with him that day.
That time, Li Qingluo was definitely not prepared and was dragged into a near-death situation by him.
But this time…
She took a deep breath and said frankly, "Your Highness, please tell me. I've been deeply involved in this for a long time. How can I just withdraw from it?"
"Rather than being framed and persecuted for no apparent reason, it is better to have a clear understanding of where you are so that you can have a chance to protect yourself in the future."
"and……"
