"But that's only the case when I'm drunk."
Madam Pei sighed: "This child. Wait until she wakes up tomorrow, then we can deal with her!"
Xun Ge'er couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
He hasn't even spoken a word to his cousin...
After the dinner, it was not easy for the general to be the first group to leave the palace with a drunk girl and a man with a broken leg who could not walk.
The Qu family wanted to lend a hand, but Madam Pei pushed Qu Daoxun's outstretched hand away and said, "Young Master Qu, please step aside! We don't need your help in the general's mansion yet."
After saying that, Nanny Zhang came over, bent down, and carried Li Qingluo on her back.
Que'er and others quickly covered it tightly with their cloaks.
There are quite a few drunk people today, but not many drunk girls.
Fortunately, the biggest excitement tonight was the resurrection of Miss Pan and the punishment of Princess Qinyu, so not many people paid attention to this place.
Mrs. Qu He saw this scene not far away, and she fiercely dropped the curtain in her hand.
"Go, call Qu Sanniang over to me!"
Li Qingluo was put on the carriage by Nanny Zhang. Qu was anxiously trying to catch up to take a look and take care of her, but was quickly stopped by the maidservant beside He.
"Auntie, the old lady is looking for you. She said she has something to say to you."
Fortunately, everyone was finally able to squeeze out of the palace in an orderly manner.
On the way back, snowflakes started falling from the sky again.
Old Madam Pei had the curtains of the carriage closed to prevent the wind from blowing in and catching Li Qingluo cold.
"Does your girl know that she would become like this after drinking?"
She slept like a dead person, and no noise could wake her up.
Que'er shook her head: "Only once with Miss Pei Twelve. The girl thought she was drinking tea and fell asleep. When she woke up, she was in Pei's Si Garden."
Madam Pei snorted, "This silly girl, if someone sets a trap for her in the future, wouldn't it be easy to catch her in this fatal spot? Now that she's awake, I'm going to give her a good beating!"
Que'er couldn't help but defend Li Qingluo: "The young lady was pestered by the Third Young Master Zhuang, and the Third Young Master Pei said some inexplicable things. Perhaps he made the young lady angry and confused?"
Madam Pei's eyes twitched fiercely. "The marriage between the two families has been called off. Why is this person still pestering Luo'er in such a confused way? Is he regretting it?"
As soon as we arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, the snow falling from the sky had turned into heavy snow.
When the doorman saw his master returning in several carriages, he hurried forward to open the door and led a group of servants to greet them.
Aunt Deng hurried to Madam Pei's carriage and said in a trembling voice, "Madam, young lady, something terrible has happened!"
Li Qingluo was woken up by Que'er.
"Girl, girl? Girl—"
Li Qingluo, who was immersed in the darkness and unable to extricate himself, seemed to hear the sound of a sparrow in a trance.
She took a deep breath and struggled to open her eyes.
Li Qingluo sat up, panting heavily and holding his chest. He realized the problem: "Que'er, what's wrong with me?"
Que'er rushed forward with red eyes, "Miss, please don't drink anymore. You're like last time in the restaurant with the princess... and the others, and you can't wake them up again."
Can’t wake him up again?
Li Qingluo raised her hand and looked at her tiger's den. It turned out that it was Nanny Deng who gave her an injection personally, otherwise she would not have woken up.
I lost consciousness after drinking alcohol. How could this happen?
In her previous life, she had drunk alcohol secretly, but this had never happened before. But in this life, there has been such an obvious change.
The last time he was in the restaurant with Nan Jia and the others, Li Qingluo thought he slept so soundly because he was too tired, but the same thing happened again.
Could it be because...she was reborn?
Li Qingluo had an inexplicable bad feeling in her heart, but she saw that both Nanny Deng and Que'er had red eyes.
They looked at him with sorrowful expressions, and Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat.
"But what happened?"
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been so eager to wake me up!
Nanny Deng spoke mournfully in a low voice, "Young lady, please accept my condolences! It's...it's the twelfth young lady of the Pei family...she's gone!"
Li Qingluo: "What's gone? Isn't Nan Jia still well in Pei Mansion?"
"At the banquet tonight, Princess Nanping told me that Nanjia's poison could be cured. She had asked the renowned physician in His Royal Highness Prince Su's residence to examine Nanjia personally. How could His Royal Highness Prince Su's men be wrong?"
Que'er shed tears silently and turned her head away.
Li Qingluo saw her crying and for the first time scolded her: "Don't cry!"
She looked at Madam Deng again, her breathing quickening. "Besides, even if the poison suddenly becomes incurable, doesn't she still have three months to wait for the poison doctor to be caught? Once he's caught, she can always find a way to force that woman to detoxify her..."
Madam Deng: "Young lady, tonight at 3:30 pm... the twelfth young lady was found by a servant of the Pei family... her head and body were found separated, dead in a dilapidated, deserted courtyard!"
