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

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 can this be!?"

"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, this is 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 youthful appearance unchanged 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……"

Li Qingluo didn't say anything else.

Duan Rongshi pressed on, "And what?"

Li Qingluo shook her head. "Your Highness, are you testing me today? If I feign ignorance, say nothing, and do nothing, will Your Highness let me go back to Jinling and never see me again?"

Duan Rongshi replied without hesitation: "Yes."

She was indeed right.

He didn't want to mess with her.

But there are always strange opportunities in this world that always pull her towards him.

He couldn't help but fall into it again and again, until now it is getting deeper and deeper.

He wanted to see her more and more every day, and wanted to be close to her.

Didn't he know that he had no place to stay?

That's why we are so unclear about each other and have never expressed my true feelings.

Even at this moment, although he was only asking about the Pei family, Duan Rongshi seemed to be waiting for a confirmed answer...

Li Qingluo remained silent.

Prince Su, on the contrary, became impatient.

His eyes grew darker and darker, and suddenly, impulsively, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to his side.

"Li Qingluo, if you make a decision today, I will assume that you will stay by my side and work for me."

"You must understand that this king never lets anyone around him leave."

"Unless, it's death."

Meeting his cold and domineering gaze, Li Qingluo suddenly shuddered and seemed to have become much more sober in an instant.

"I……"

Before she could answer, there was a sudden commotion in the hall below.

The two of them quickly lowered their heads to look downwards, and they found themselves fighting below without realizing it.

Li Qingluo's eyes widened. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw someone suddenly rush towards Zaina who was sitting on the chair: "Witch, give me your life—"

However, before the man could even get close to Zaina, he was pushed into the wooden barrel of bloodworms by someone who had been lying in ambush nearby.

In just a moment, the man screamed: "Ah——"

Then, he was instantly rolled into the wooden barrel by the pink flesh worm. After a while, not even a piece of cloth was left. He was minced and devoured by the pink blood insect, leaving no bones behind.

Everyone who saw this scene was immediately frightened out of their wits.

Following screams, everyone rushed out.

However, the Lisboa Casino had already made countermeasures, and all the doors and windows had been sealed!

It was not until this moment that everyone realized that they might have fallen into the trap of the Lisboa Casino today!

"Everyone, what are you rushing about for? Don't be in a hurry."

"They come, the security."

"Today's auction hasn't ended yet, no one is allowed to leave!"

The one who shouted this was the masked young man.

At this moment, he had already put on a red cloak and was sitting in a sedan chair carried by ten people. He looked at all the horrified faces in the hall and seemed very satisfied.

Nanny Zheng pushed the door open, panting heavily. "Miss, it's Prince Jin's man, eaten by the bloodworm."

However, when Nanny Zheng saw Prince Su tightly holding her daughter's wrist, her gaze completely stopped and her eyes widened instantly.

Is this a scene that an old woman like her can see?

It’s over. His Royal Highness Prince Su won’t kill people to silence them, right?

Nanny Zheng was thinking a lot, but Li Qingluo had already walked over.

"Madame Zheng, are you okay?"

Seeing that Prince Su showed no signs of anger, Nanny Zheng quickly shook her head and grabbed Li Qingluo, "Miss, let's get out of here! This place is no longer safe. We can't stand watching the fun any longer!"

Nanny Zheng just wanted to leave quickly out of the principle of protecting Li Qingluo.

Li Qingluo said firmly: "No, we have no way out."

The doors and windows are all sealed, so it is obvious that I have to follow Prince Su to get out today.

Li Qingluo wasn't afraid at all. She calmly asked Nanny Zheng, "What happened downstairs just now? Wasn't it an auction? Why did it suddenly get so noisy?"

Nanny Zheng glanced at Prince Su's back before explaining, "We were originally planning to bid, but then His Royal Highness Prince Jin's people suddenly said they wanted to inspect the goods. They wanted the people from the Lisboa Casino to first explain how to use the insects to achieve immortality, and they also wanted to see if the witch was real or fake."

"Others followed suit and wanted to know too."

"The people at the Lisboa Casino refused to accept it, and a conflict broke out over a few words."

Li Qingluo frowned. "Are the King of Jin's men so impulsive? They really didn't mean it?"

Obviously, this bloodworm is just a trigger today.

It's impossible for it to be auctioned off so easily.

But who is behind this?

His Royal Highness Prince Su?

Li Qingluo had just finished speaking when Duan Rongshi stood up and came over: "Since you don't want to leave, then stay and watch the fun."

After saying that, he took her wrist again and strode outside.

Li Qingluo:?

Did she have the choice to leave just now?
