The moment the veil fell off, Li Qingluo finally saw the face clearly.

is her! ?

At this moment, Zheng Lingzhou finally broke through the fog and rushed in.

The Lotus Sect Leader screamed and quickly covered his face.

Yue Wuye raised his foot and rushed forward to kill. Zheng Lingzhou did not hesitate to turn the knife in his hand and throw it towards Li Qingluo on the other side.

Master Yue Wu could only turn his hand and move the knife in his hand to block the blade that was almost going to take Li Qingluo's head.

"go!"

Zheng Lingzhou looked at Li Qingluo deeply, then jumped out of the thick smoke and white fog with the Lotus Sect Leader.

However, the area outside had already been surrounded by soldiers, and most of the Lotus believers who did not evacuate in time were caught red-handed.

The Lotus Sect Leader and Zheng Lingzhou had no choice but to abandon their followers and spent a lot of effort to escape.

By the time Leng Dian and Zhui Yu escaped and came over, Li Qingluo and Prince Su had already left quietly.

A small courtyard behind the pines in the mountain.

After Li Qingluo cleaned herself thoroughly, there were three knocks on the door.

When she put on her clothes and went out to open the door, she saw no one outside, but there was a bottle of ointment on the floor at the door.

She picked it up and looked at it, then remembered something and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Li Qingluo quickly closed the door again, then limped back to the couch, took off all her clothes, and lifted up her skirt.

The wounds on the inside of her legs were discovered by Prince Su on her way back.

She was already full of the smell of blood, but His Royal Highness Prince Su, who was very clean today, was also covered in dirt, so they shouldn't have disliked each other.

But Li Qingluo couldn't help but groan when he got on the horse.

It was really a few fast rides, and even she, who had thick skin and flesh, felt extremely miserable this time. She even felt the sticky blood between her legs.

If it weren't for the bloody smell on his body, it would have been smelled by Prince Su's sharp nose long ago.

At that time, Duan Rongshi noticed her abnormality.

However, this time, the sharp-tongued Prince Su was merciful and did not reveal the matter. He had originally planned to let her continue to sit in the back with her legs crossed, but suddenly changed his mind.

Duan Rongshi asked Li Qingluo to close her legs and sit sideways in front of him.

The two of them tacitly didn't say a word until they returned to Cangsong Mountain.

The ointment was cool, and Li Qingluo felt much more comfortable the moment she applied it.

She lay down to rest for a while before getting up, dressing herself again and doing her makeup.

I walked to the window, opened it and looked down.

Li Qingluo never imagined that one day she would settle down in this small courtyard on Cangsong Mountain.

Qingsong Temple is also on Cangsong Mountain, but one occupies the front mountain and the other occupies the back mountain.

When I first came to Qingsong Temple to seek refuge with my grandmother, Prince Su lived here, right?

At that time, he was a noble man in the back mountain whom no one dared to disturb.

And I am just a wild weed...

Who would have thought that one day she would really be able to cling to the thigh of this noble man?

Fate in this world is indeed unpredictable.

"Miss, Miss? The old slave is back, are you there?"

Aunt Zheng?

Li Qingluo immediately went to open the door, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Nanny Zheng returned safely.

"Where have you been? Did His Royal Highness Prince Su bring you here?"

Madam Zheng was very aggrieved: "Miss, the moment I looked up, you ran away with His Royal Highness Prince Su. I later reunited with Mr. Nangong, and you didn't even know that we both had a narrow escape this time!"

Li Qingluo asked Nanny Zheng to come in.

"What's going on? His Highness said he sent Master to do something important. Where's Master? Is he okay?"

Nanny Zheng: "It is indeed important. Mr. Nangong is fine, but His Highness asked him to steal someone else."

Li Qingluo suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"what?"

Madam Zheng quickly slapped her face and said, "It's the one who stole the person. He stole her out. Didn't His Highness tell you yet? Mr. Nangong stole Zaina out!"

"That's why we were relentlessly pursued by a female leader of the Lotus Cult for most of the day. We only managed to escape thanks to the help of His Highness's men."

Li Qingluo's eyes widened instantly: "Zayna? So Zayna is here too? Come on, take me to see her!"

She knew that Prince Su couldn't have only planned to deal with the bloodworm today.

However, before leaving the room, Li Qingluo had one important thing to do first.

She first wrote a letter to her grandmother in the city, telling her that she would be delayed for two days before returning.

Then she sent a message to Zhuangzi, saying that she would not go back tonight.

Give both letters to Nanny Zheng and ask her to ask Prince Su's men to send them away first, and then go find Prince Su.

Duan Rongshi had washed his hair clean, changed into a loose cloak, and was sitting cross-legged on the couch drinking tea when Zhui Yu came to report, "Your Highness, Prince Yun and Prince Jin have both returned to the city."

"Your Highness Prince Yun's eyes...are probably beyond saving."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin should be fine. I didn't expect him to be so well hidden and a martial artist."

Duan Rongshi was not surprised when he heard this.

"Third brother has always been quite cunning, but they all underestimated him."

Obviously, he had always known that Prince Jin was skilled in martial arts.

"Besides, he has more backbone than Duan Rongxuan."

Prince Yun's name was Duan Rongxuan, so the "he" mentioned by Prince Su was naturally Prince Jin Duan Rongjue.

This was considered high praise from Prince Su.

Duan Rongshi: "By the way, Liang Gao captured those Lotus Cultists today. Tell him to report anything useful he finds, no matter how shocking or unexpected, to me first."

Liang Gao is the Minister of War, and he is the one who personally led the troops out of the city today to cooperate with Leng Dian in the surprise attack to capture the Lotus Cult members.

Zhui Yu: "Yes, Your Highness."

Just as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door: "Your Highness, the commoner Li Qingluo requests to see you."

Duan Rongshi immediately gathered up his clothes, put on another coat, and then stood up and went to open the door himself.

Although her makeup was simple, she looked much cleaner and fresher, which made my eyes feel comfortable.

Li Qingluo was also looking at him.

As expected, the clean, noble and cold Prince Su is more pleasing to the eyes.

After the two of them looked at each other, Prince Su said, "Since you are here, please have dinner with me."

The tone naturally brooks no refusal.

But it was already dark by then.

Li Qingluo had been running around all day and was indeed hungry and tired.

After he said that, he turned around and wanted her to come in.

Li Qingluo was standing at the door and saw Zhuiyu, she smiled instantly.

"Mr. Zhuiyu, were you impersonating the Lotus Sect Leader today?"

Zhui Yu chuckled and immediately approached shamelessly: "Miss, you've discovered this? Does it look like a fairy? Is it a fairy?"

Before Li Qing could even utter the word "immortal", Duan Rongshi turned his head and squinted at him.

"Zhuiyu, have you finished your business?"

Zhuiyu was startled and dared not say anything more. He ran away immediately.

Duan Rongshi looked at Li Qingluo again: "What do you want from me?"

Li Qingluo was shocked: Why is His Highness in a bad mood again?

But she didn't think much about it and asked, "Your Highness, can I meet Zaina?"

After Li Qingluo finished speaking, he saw a familiar glass bottle on the low couch by the window in the room.

It's a bloodworm.

Before Duan Rongshi could respond, Leng Dian came hurriedly over.

"Your Highness, something happened in Qingsong Town at the foot of the mountain."

Qingsong Town is at the foot of Qingsong Temple, that is, at the foot of the front mountain.

Li Qingluo and his companions left the courtyard, climbed a hillside, and saw a faint light in the night sky ahead.

Walking further through a forest, the view suddenly opened up and I could finally see a fire at the foot of the mountain.

The raging fire burned down all the houses in that area.

"It's Qingsong Town. Is it on fire?"

Nanny Zheng widened her eyes.

Li Qingluo: "No, it's the Lisboa Casino that's on fire."

"The day the Lotus Cult leader's hiding place is revealed, that place will cease to exist."

This news will definitely be reported back to Jinling today.

Princes, nobles, and descendants of powerful families, who would dare to openly come to the Lotus Sect's territory and spend huge sums of money in the future?

The Lotus Sect must have felt sorry for having such a place to make money, after all, there is no other Lisboa Casino in the world.

But Prince Yun and Prince Jin both nearly lost their lives, and the imperial army must have been on their way to wipe out the area, so the Lisboa Casino burned itself down to cut off its own tail and save itself.

Burning it all would put an end to it, and it would be difficult for the court to catch anything.

Duan Rongshi looked at Leng Dian, who immediately signaled to Madam Zheng. After the two of them retreated to a slightly further position, Duan Rongshi whispered, "Did you see it today?"

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, are you talking about the Lotus Sect Leader?"

"I really could never have guessed that the Lotus Sect Leader would actually be Princess Qinyu."

She is a princess of both countries, has a high status, and is deeply loved by the people of both countries.

Although the Emperor of Chu arranged a very bad marriage for her, with her abilities, was there no way for her to escape it?

Why didn't she just be a princess, who was high and mighty, but chose to be the leader of a cult? Did she really want to overthrow the government of Chu and Liang and become the queen of her own ideal country?

Li Qingluo's shock has not subsided until now.

It’s not that I’m disgusted, but I didn’t expect there would be such a woman in the world.

But seeing Duan Rongshi's calm expression and the fact that he didn't seem surprised at all, Li Qingluo said, "Your Highness really knew about this a long time ago."

"You've always known that Princess Qinyu is the leader of the Lotus Sect, knows the details of the Lisboa Casino, knows everything."

"So you..."

It was said that he was protecting Princess Qinyu, but today he schemed against the Lotus Sect Leader thoroughly.

He might even have thought about the consequences of the fire.

I guess Princess Qinyu is still confused. How did she lose both the bloodworm and the witch Zaina at the same time?

However, if Master Yue Wu had not jumped out in the end to make a feint to the east and attack in the west and cooperate with Zhui Yu, the blood insect might not have been easily obtained.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking about?"

What are you planning again?

It was said that he was imprisoned in Prince Su's mansion to reflect on his mistakes, but he disguised himself as Master Yue Wu and caused chaos outside.

Continue to stir up trouble.

It is said that he worked for the people and the country, but he allowed his cousin to lead a cult and do evil things, causing chaos in the court, the underworld, and the people.

Even though he knew the ins and outs of the Lisboa Casino, he allowed it to grow in prominence until it was destroyed overnight today.

He seemed to be in control of everything, so was he also plotting against me today?

As if knowing what she was thinking at the moment, Duan Rongshi walked towards her.

"So, you're scared?"

"You are afraid that this king will plot against you."

"Are you afraid of this king?"

His voice suddenly became tense, pressed against his throat, and he pressed closer and closer to her.
