There were faint sounds of fighting outside.
Li Qingluo stepped forward and put her ear against the stone wall. Duan Rongshi looked at her: "What are you doing?"
Li Qingluo: "Listen, can you tell who is outside?"
Duan Rongshi: ...
He stepped forward and reached out to pull her away.
Then he placed one palm on the rock wall and called out in a normal voice, "Leng Dian, Ying Fang, are you guys here?"
As expected, two voices were heard from outside: "Your Highness, your subordinates are waiting!"
Li Qingluo's eyes instantly filled with envy: Is this inner strength?!?
I don’t know how many years it will take her to master it, and I suddenly feel a little jealous.
No, after she gets out, she must work harder to learn from her master, and strive to catch up with her grandmother as soon as possible, and become an invincible woman who is no longer afraid of being bullied by any evil person!
Li Qingluo swore this oath to himself in his heart, and then he heard Leng Diansha come forward and report: "Your Highness, a group of well-prepared assassins suddenly appeared outside. It was because of my negligence that they took the opportunity to destroy the exit."
"Subordinates will dig through this passage as quickly as possible and rescue His Highness!"
Duan Rongshi said, "Let's put aside the matter of digging the secret passage for now. You should quickly deal with these assassins and capture as many as you can alive. Then, go into the city to meet up with Pofeng and take the people from the Dali Temple to the Pei Mansion as soon as possible."
"I will leave Pei Mansion."
Leng Dian immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness!"
It seemed like he knew his people were bound to win?
Li Qingluo didn't dare to ask, and followed Prince Su back to where Pan Li and the others were waiting.
The sickly young man seemed unable to walk back anymore. He waved his hand and told Li Qingluo and the others to leave as soon as possible and not to bother with him.
The journey back would take another hour, which was indeed a considerable burden for him.
Li Qingluo looked at Pan Li: "What about you? What are your plans?"
Although Pan Li's feet were already swollen and painful from walking, he still said, "I'll go back with you."
Li Qingluo nodded and said to the frail young man, "Once His Royal Highness Prince Su's men have dug a clear exit here, I will come and fetch you personally. This will be my way of repaying you for saving Miss Pan and me. Please wait for me, young man!"
Seeing her so confident, the frail man couldn't help but smile: "Miss, there's no need to be so polite."
However, as Li Qingluo walked further and further away, his eyes kept following her.
"Luo'er, I'll wait for you to come back..."
Don't let him wait too long.
After walking away, Duan Rongshi looked down at Li Qingluo and said coldly, "You are really loyal and righteous."
Li Qingluo: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. It is well deserved."
Duan Rongshi looked at her and uttered a meaningful "huh". He suddenly quickened his pace and walked forward. Soon, his long legs left Li Qingluo and Pan Li behind.
Li Qingluo was struggling to catch up, and Pan Li pulled her back: "You've offended him."
Li Qingluo was horrified: "Did I? When? Why?"
Seeing her confused look, Pan Li couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "You, maybe you still don't understand why His Highness Prince Su is only talking to you?"
Li Qingluo: "I'm quite familiar with him."
Pan Li: "I heard that Princess Qinyu and His Royal Highness Prince Su are also very familiar with each other. Do they get along like this?"
Li Qingluo: "I didn't notice it. But is there any difference?"
Pan Li suddenly looked up at the sky and took a deep breath: "Forget it, what right do I have to teach you? I'm a mess too."
Li Qingluo: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Pan Li: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Luo'er, since we have to go back to the Pei family now, there are some things I must tell you first. You can then find a way to disclose it to His Royal Highness Prince Su."
Li Qingluo was ready to listen attentively.
Pan Li: "Who am I now? We'll discuss this matter after we get out. But how did the Twelve Lady of the Pei Family die? How about I tell you a story first?"
Li Qingluo: "Okay, I'll listen."
As she spoke, she looked up at Prince Su who was walking further and further away in front of her. Presumably, Prince Su could not hear what the two were saying, so Pan Li dared to continue talking to Li Qingluo boldly.
Pan Li: "After Pei Shier Niang was poisoned, her health deteriorated day by day, and she had long been prepared to die. But now, because of her good friend, she was able to meet a good doctor, and finally there was a glimmer of hope for her survival."
"Twelve Lady only wants to spend the rest of her life accompanying and serving her parents, so if she can survive, she naturally wants to live."
"But all the changes happened suddenly on the fifth day of the first lunar month."
"All of this begins with the Pei family. The Pei family is a prestigious family with a deep mansion. They have been a military clan for decades, so naturally they have many secrets unknown to outsiders."
"Among them is the old Duke of the eldest house. His actions suddenly changed the fate of the entire Pei family..."
