If she had come to her senses earlier, she would have taken Xiaochuan to Qingsong Temple to seek help from the old lady.

Perhaps, he would not have met Zuliya, the head of Yungu, and would not have known about the sinister method of exchanging the life of Qu's daughter Li Qingluo for his son's life.

Once this thought came to her mind, there was no turning back.

Now, he can either let his son die or wait for death.

At most it will prolong your life for a few more years.

Otherwise, let him use Li Qingluo's body to come back to life completely!

She had seen that Li Qingluo was as healthy as a calf.

There’s no problem living to old age!

If she couldn't find the head of Yungu, she would just accept her fate.

But after so much difficulty in this desperate situation, she still found a glimmer of hope. How could she give up?

This is the opportunity God gave her!

Zheng Wanxiu quickly made a decision in her heart.

Li Jingchuan saw the determination in his mother's eyes and felt despair in his heart.

He smiled sadly...

Li Qing looked into his eyes and saw a hint of determination.

She was curious, what did he want to do?

Li Qingluo asked someone to keep an eye on Li Jingchuan.

And in the afternoon, Zheng Wanxiu came to see him quietly.

"I want you to take me to see the head of Yungu."

She spoke to Li Qingluo in a commanding tone.

Li Qingluo asked her to be more polite.

Zheng Wanxiu sneered, looking down on her: "You're just a stand-in, and you expect me to be polite to you?"

"At worst, we can all fall out. Even if Xiaochuan and I are kicked out of here, they'll still plant the seeds of suspicion in your hearts!"

"You took the initiative to reveal your identity, isn't it because you want me to help you eliminate the real Li Qingluo?"

"Only then can you be the eldest lady of this mansion with peace of mind!"

"If you help me find the head of Yungu, I can promise you this."

Li Qingluo smiled happily: "You are quite right."

"In that case, wait outside the Zhenxiu Restaurant at 12:00 PM tonight."

After Zheng Wanxiu left, Cui'er came in puzzled.

"Girl, why did you lie to her?"

Li Qingluo: "Catch a poisonous snake."

Cui'er:?

The girl's behavior is becoming more and more mysterious.

What he said was also incomprehensible.

Cui'er put down the snacks in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Miss, Que'er said...she wants to become a nun."

Li Qingluo was surprised: "Why?"

Cui Er: "Girl, she just... thought you didn't want her anymore."

Li Qingluo sighed.

"Tell her not to think too much and to heal her first."

"It's me... I'm too embarrassed to see her."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to grab her sword when she saw a shadow passing by the door.

She knew it was a bird, but she didn't chase it.

No one called out to her.

Forget it, I am just a clay Buddha crossing the river now, I don’t know what kind of monster I will become in the future...

What would happen if I called her?

Give her hope, but you can't do it at all?

It’s better to take it one step at a time and deal with the future later.

Li Qingluo knew that he didn't have much time left.

She didn't dare sit idle, so she disguised herself as a man and quickly took Sha Yi and Sha Er out.

Nanny Zheng watched the girl leave again and could only sigh helplessly.

"It's no use for Que'er to get angry and threaten the girl."

"The girl won't even see her."

"From now on, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to go out with the girl casually."

Cui'er: "Mammy, you're overthinking it. The young lady won't forget us."

"Besides, she didn't go to see Que'er because she was worried about her injuries."

Anyway, every time the girl came home, Cui'er would prepare everything properly. The girl was never disappointed and never forgot her.

Cui'er was very satisfied.

Madam Zheng rolled her eyes at Cui'er and asked, "What do you know?"

"In the past, we old guys were all valued by the girls."

"Ever since Old Deng died...I'm afraid the girl won't dare to use us easily anymore."

"She's soft-hearted. How could she possibly bear the loss of another 'Old Deng'?"

"So, now that we have better knives, we'll naturally leave our old bones at home and rest."

Cui Er: "Isn't that good? If we take care of the affairs of the inner house, so that the young lady has no worries, isn't that also sharing her burden?"

Nanny Zheng and Cui'er couldn't reach an agreement.

"Go! Go! Go."

She encouraged herself secretly: "It seems that I need to train myself more and not lose to those young boys."

"When there's a chance for the young lady to see my skills again, then we old idlers like you will have a chance to be reused..."

Que'er, who heard these words in the dark, looked sad.

Li Qingluo took Sha Yi and Sha Er to the Zhenxiu Restaurant first.

Then we went to Guiyuan.

At the hour of You, Duan Rongshi came naturally.

After the two of them had dinner together, Li Qingluo brought up the Li family.

"Your Highness, has the case of Li Chaojing been concluded?"

Li Qingluo held the real letter from the Jiang family in his hand.

She told Duan Rongshi about this early in the morning.

But given Duan Rongshi's personality, even if he liked Li Qingluo very much, it was impossible for him to be partial to Li Qingluo for the sake of his children's personal feelings.

Although the prince and the queen's party wanted to kill the Li family, it was an indisputable fact that Li Chaojing committed a crime.

Therefore, the most he could do at that time was to remove her and Old Madam Pei from the clan first, and separate the two of them, the grandmother and the granddaughter, from the family.

Li Qingluo could only think of a solution on his own.

She didn't really want to rescue the person.

Otherwise, she would have taken action long ago and would not have allowed Li Chaojing and Li Kechuan, father and son, to be imprisoned for so long and suffer so much.

She just felt sorry for her grandmother.

Moreover, he did not want to satisfy the Queen's party.

"If we make this matter controversial, is it possible to impose a lighter punishment?"

Duan Rongshi: "How would you like to lighten the punishment?"

Li Qingluo: "Exile or confiscation of property are both acceptable."

"As long as there's still someone alive."

Otherwise, if the entire family was punished by beheading, all the female members of the Li family would also lose their lives.

Including Sister Huan, Aunt Liu and others.

Duan Rongshi didn't say anything.

Li Qingluo stood up and knelt down: "Your Highness, I know that my thoughts were selfish and I ignored the facts."

"He deserves to die."

"But his death alone is enough. If the whole clan were to suffer, wouldn't that be a cruel punishment?"

Duan Rongshi: "You dare to question the laws of Daliang? You're so bold!"

Li Qingluo stared into Duan Rongshi's eyes.

She knew that plucking the hair from his tiger's head was an act of seeking death.

But she also promised her grandmother.

"I beg Your Highness to give me a chance... Just five years. After five years, if I'm still alive, I will personally kill him. I will do justice to the cause by killing my own relatives!"

"Even if the entire Li family were to be exterminated, wouldn't that be what the Queen and her faction want?"

"how?"

Five years is enough for my grandmother to make up for her regrets.

Five years later, she would give the real evidence to her grandmother, and the fair-minded grandmother would understand what she meant.

Duan Rongshi bent down and reached out to lift Li Qingluo's face.

He narrowed his eyes at her and said, "What do you mean, you're still alive in five years?"

"Li Qingluo, are you hiding something from me?"

Li Qingluo turned his head away.

"Things in life are unpredictable. I was just using an analogy."

Duan Rongshi: "Alright, get up."

"You can write to *** about this matter. Don't you have two other letters written by Lieutenant General Jiang?"

"Send it to *** together. *** will understand after reading it."

The King and the Queen have always been at odds.

She would be happy to get involved.

By then, if the evidence is flawed, it will be impossible to fully identify Li Chaojing's guilt.

Li Qingluo thought so too.

But there was no way to get past Duan Rongshi, and she was afraid that this matter would become a thorn between them in the future.

After getting his promise, Li Qingluo would write a letter when he returned.

Duan Rongshi saw that she was still kneeling, sighed, and personally pulled her up and closer to him.

"Is this how you control me now?"

He pinched her soft cheek angrily.

However, Li Chaojing had to die sooner or later, and he really didn't mind if he died five years later, or how he died.

For example, there were too many abnormal deaths on the road to exile.

As for the cruel officials she mentioned... As the Prince Su who once wiped out an entire family in one night, he had nothing to say.

Li Qingluo struggled to break free with a red face and walked away.

"Your Highness, let's talk business."

Duan Rongshi realized that Li Qingluo was avoiding him.

She didn't want him to touch her?

Even though it was just holding hands, she was clearly not like that yesterday.

This made him suspicious.

"When did this prince become indecent?"

"It's you..."

Li Qingluo knew he was suspicious and quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness, you didn't return to the palace last night?"

Duan Rongshi: "I have entered the palace."

Li Qingluo immediately understood that something happened in the palace last night?

I just don’t know what it is?

She glanced at him curiously.

Duan Rongshi: "I'll tell you slowly later."

"You have nothing else to say to the king?"

She came to Guiyuan on her own initiative, so there must be something else besides the Li family's affairs.

Why are not you talking?

Duan Rongshi came closer to her step by step.

Li Qingluo smelled a strange fragrance when he took a breath.

She had smelled this fragrance this morning.

Later, I also smelled it in Qingzhu Garden.

Later, when Sha Yi and Sha Er came to find her, she also smelled it.

When Li Qingluo looked at Duan Rong approaching him again, he felt bitter in his heart.

"Your Highness... I heard that you went to Princess Qinyu's residence the night before. I wonder... what you did there?"

Duan Rongshi pulled her into his arms.

Seeing her expression, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, but she asked such a question.

He whispered, "I haven't seen Zong Zheng Yu'er. It seems she was seriously injured that day."

"But I have confirmed that Zulia is in the princess's mansion. I will personally capture her tonight and bring her to you to detoxify you."

"Are you afraid of this?"

Li Qingluo felt a pang of pain in his nose.

He suppressed a laugh and said, "No."

"But if... I also turned into a monster, Your Highness would you personally kill me to prevent future troubles?"

Duan Rongshi: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Luo'er, what happened to you?"

Li Qingluo couldn't help but hug him, raised her head to his neck and took a deep breath: "You... smell so good."
