The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

Her face turned pale, and she realized that he had just intentionally spared her.

She immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Su, for showing mercy just now!"

Duan Rongshi stared at her with complicated eyes, and the murderous aura on his body was still hard to hide: "Do you know what you just did?"

Li Qingluo: "I, a humble woman, have interfered... and released the Lotus Sect's incense master."

Duan Rongshi: "He is not just any ordinary Lotus Sect leader! He is the leader of the four great Dharma protectors of the Lotus Sect—"

Li Qingluo: "He is also Zheng Lingzhou, the legitimate son of General Zheng who luckily survived eighteen years ago!"

Duan Rongshi's expression changed slightly: "What did you say?"

When Zheng Lingzhou was telling the story of Aunt Zheng, he mentioned that their family was once the residence of a third-rank general. Later, because they were innocently implicated in a bloody murder in which a concubine died, the whole family was raided.

After Li Qingluo returned, he inquired about what major events had occurred in the palace eighteen years ago.

Nanny Deng said that there was indeed an incredible and horrifying case in the harem that year!

It is said that on the night of the full moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, several concubines died overnight.

Among them was Prince Su’s mother, Princess Yue Guifei, who was married to the Qi Kingdom.

As for the details, we only vaguely know that it is related to witchcraft, and we can't find out anything else.

The secret case of the imperial palace has sealed up all the past events tightly.

Anyone who dared to mention the past would disappear without a trace, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

Li Qingluo just made a bold guess. Perhaps the Zheng family case was really related to the death of Prince Su's mother?

She was also terrified at this moment.

How could she not be afraid of the Prince Su, who was rumored to be full of murderous sins?

But no matter how scared she is, she has to give it a try.

When she and Zheng Lingzhou came out of the cliff cave, even she herself did not expect that they would encounter an ambush by King Su here.

Almost all of Zheng Lingzhou's men were killed.

If Zheng Lingzhou had not gone to find Li Qingluo, he would not have encountered these things, so Li Qingluo did not want him to die here.

The air became deathly silent...

Duan Rongshi remained silent.

Let Li Qingluo kneel on the ground.

Until Zhui Yu and Leng Lei returned, their faces were extremely grim: "Your Highness, we two subordinates failed to do our job well and let him escape!"

Duan Rongshi: "No need to chase. Return to the city!"

Li Qingluo was sweating profusely, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Prince Su never looked at her again during the entire journey.

Li Qingluo thought: As long as I can keep my life, that's all that matters.

On the way down the mountain, Li Qingluo couldn't see the road and fell hard several times.

Zhui Yu and Leng Lei had already secretly watched her several times.

Your Majesty, are you really not going to care about the Second Young Lady?

Look how pitiful the second girl is. I’m afraid she couldn’t walk anymore.

But she didn't say a word, which was rare compared to those pampered ladies.

The prince rode his horse in front, and the second girl was already having a hard time following behind. When she fell, the prince didn't even look back once.

Tsk tsk, you really don’t care about the cook’s life or death.

Just when Li Qingluo was about to fall flat on her face again, Zhuiyu rushed forward and supported her.

"Second girl, be careful!"

Li Qingluo sighed: "Thank you, big brother guard..."

She hadn't made the mistake on purpose tonight. It was simply that the wound on her leg had opened up, and the blood seemed to have soaked her shoes and socks, causing her to slip and fall...

"Why is there such a strong smell of blood?"

Leng Dian came forward and said nonchalantly.

Duan Rongshi suddenly turned his horse's head, lowered his head and looked at Li Qingluo's skirt which had been stained black with blood.

His eyes turned cold: "When did you get injured?"

Li Qingluo: "No, it's okay, let's continue on our way."

She wanted to return home quickly, fearing that her grandmother would be worried when she heard the news that she had fallen off the cliff.

Duan Rongshi asked, "Do you think you can come and go as you please if you return to the city now?"

The city gates had already been closed and locked, and it was already curfew.

Li Qingluo's face turned pale, and then he sat down with the help of a stone.

Duan Rongshi looked around and his eyes fell on a relatively flat and wide place.

"Rest here tonight and return to the city tomorrow."

Zhuiyu and Lengdian looked at each other secretly again.

What are you talking about, my lord?

With you here, at my command, the closed city gate will have to be opened for you, right?

When did you ever care about curfew?

It's obvious that you're just worried about the second girl not being able to walk, right?

Oh, Your Majesty.

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and did not dare to smile, but they were both happy in their hearts and ran to collect firewood.

After the fire started, Zhuiyu and Lengdian hurried to the woods to collect branches and decided to temporarily build a tent to shelter from the wind.

Li Qingluo sat by the fire for a long time before he felt warm again.

She rubbed her hands and looked up at the sky.

It's almost winter, but it's already very cold.

She hadn't eaten all day and was cold and hungry.

However, she still mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Highness Prince Su, please... could you find a way to inform my grandmother that I'm safe and sound?"

Originally, Li Qingluo left a way out for himself.

The reason why I asked Madam Deng to leave that symbol in the teahouse was so that my grandmother could send people to help Li Qingluo return to Jinling smoothly when necessary.

But later he met Prince Su, which disrupted Li Qingluo's plan.

But it’s better this way. My grandmother won’t be alerted, and the general’s mansion won’t suspect her of this.

So Li Qingluo simply asked Prince Su to deliver the message and asked Nanny Deng to stop trying to contact her grandmother.

But if I suddenly heard the news that she fell off the cliff, my grandmother would definitely be very worried when I went back tomorrow.

I don’t know whether Que’er and Nanny Deng followed him back to the general’s mansion.

Duan Rongshi sat cross-legged opposite Li Qingluo.

He had originally closed his eyes to rest, but when he heard her words, he opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the hem of her skirt.

"Why don't you worry about yourself first?"

As he said that, he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms with a cold face and threw it over.

"Apply it."

Li Qingluo held the small medicine bottle and muttered to himself: This guy is really cold-faced but soft-hearted. He is obviously different from the rumors about him.

Could it be that the people of Daliang have some misunderstanding about him?

Daliang people: Bullshit! That’s because you haven’t seen his true face!

Li Qingluo got the medicine and quickly turned around. She tore off another piece of her skirt with great effort and then uncovered the wound that had been bandaged before.

The wounds that were torn into flesh naturally made her grimace in pain.

Beads of sweat began to roll down Li Qingluo's forehead.

But she gritted her teeth, hummed a few times, and applied the medicine.

Just as he was about to bandage it again, a dark shadow suddenly covered his eyes.

Before Li Qingluo could react, Prince Su had already squatted down and reached out to hold her slender calf.

Li Qingluo tried to dodge and shrink back in panic, but was grabbed tightly by Duan Rongshi.

"Your Highness, you cannot do this! How dare a humble woman defile your Highness's eyes and hands..."

"Don't move! Otherwise, I won't help you deliver messages anymore."
