Mrs. Pei touched Li Qingluo's face with heartache, and tears fell down.

Li Qingluo felt extremely guilty.

She was thankful again that she did not fall ill at home yesterday, otherwise her grandmother would have gone crazy on the spot.

Moreover, my grandmother has always hated the choice made by Duke Pei after he was poisoned.

She believed that her brother should not have committed such a heinous crime to prolong his life.

Even if he dies, he should stand up straight and show his loyalty to the Pei family.

But now it is the turn of her only granddaughter who has been with her for so long. How can this grandmother face it?

But now that things have come to this, Li Qingluo can no longer hide the truth from Madam Pei.

"Grandma, Luo'er has indeed been poisoned."

"The symptoms of poisoning are very similar to those of hemophilia."

"Last night was Luo'er's first attack of the poison."

After Li Qingluo finished speaking, you could hear a pin drop in the entire hall.

Madam Pei: "Luo, Luo'er, what are you talking about?"

"How could you be poisoned by the same Gu as your great-uncle?!"

"Luo'er, this is no joke!!"

Her body softened from the shock, and if Luo Fan hadn't hurriedly supported her without regard for etiquette, she would have fallen to the ground.

Luo Fan: "Don't worry, isn't Luo'er safe and sound now?"

Madam Pei mustered all her strength and stepped forward to grab Li Qingluo. "What on earth is going on? Why don't you explain it to me right now?"

Li Qingluo looked up and burst into tears.

"Grandmother, the relationship here is very complicated. Simply put, Qin Ling poisoned me under the orders of the Prince of Chu."

"And this person has this poison because Zaina's sister is loyal to her."

"Luo'er was infected with the poison that Zulia had been refining for five years. Although it is not a Gu poison, it is very similar to hemophilia."

"Grandma, I'm sorry."

"It's Luo'er's fault. I made you sad..."

Li Qingluo thought about keeping it a secret from her grandmother.

This way she won't know the truth and won't worry.

But she was even more afraid that her grandmother would be even more angry when she found out that she was the only one kept in the dark.

My grandmother is a decisive person. She usually does things simply, directly and efficiently.

He speaks frankly and never acts pretentiously.

Otherwise, he would not have abandoned the Li family and Li Chaojing and left home in anger for many years.

With her personality, she cannot tolerate any ingratitude, let alone betrayal.

Therefore, even if Li Qingluo had concealed such a big thing from her, she would definitely not forgive him easily if it was exposed one day.

Li Qingluo had no choice but to confess everything.

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei hugged her tightly with heartache.

"How can this be blamed on you? Child, how can this be blamed on you?"

"It's those damn guys' fault, why are you apologizing?"

"But now that things have come to this, why do you still want to run out by yourself?"

"You said you were going to Yangzhou, so you lied to Grandmother? Why did you do that?"

Li Qingluo: Because she was afraid she wouldn't make it through last night...

I was afraid that I would completely lose consciousness and turn into a crazy monster.

If she is still conscious, she will come back and face it honestly.

If I can't get over it... I'll let my grandmother think that she has been to Yangzhou, and she won't be too sad.

Even though she didn't say it, Mrs. Pei could guess what she was thinking.

"You, are you trying to piss me off to death? You're treating your grandmother like a three-year-old child, but you're actually killing yourself, aren't you?"

"So what if you become a monster?"

"Grandma, and your Grandpa Luo, how could they not save you?"

Mrs. Pei's heart was broken.

When she thought about the danger her sweetheart faced last night and how her Luo'er almost couldn't come back, she felt angry and sad.

Luo Fan comforted Madam Pei for a few words, then carefully took Li Qingluo's pulse.

Dong Siyuan touched the left side and Luo Fan touched the right side.

Soon, Dong Siyuan, who had been taking care of Butterfly, came to his senses: "Although the girl's pulse is very different from that of Lady Butterfly, if you distinguish them carefully, they seem to share the same origin..."

Li Qingluo: "I suspect the poison I took was made from the poisonous blood of a butterfly."

As Li Qingluo spoke, he took out the porcelain bottle containing three poison pills from his arms.

"Show it to Grandpa Luo!"

Luo Fan took it, opened it and smelled it, his face became serious.

Madam Pei: "Luo Fan, what's wrong? Tell me quickly!"

Luo Fan: "Don't worry. The blood worm is dead, and there has never been another blood worm in this world. As long as Luo'er hasn't been poisoned by the blood worm, it won't be that bad."

Before Madam Pei could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Dong Siyuan say, "But Miss Butterfly's blood is the most poisonous I have ever seen in the world."

"If they really used her blood to refine the poison for five years, I'm afraid..."

"And didn't the girl say that when the poison took effect, her symptoms were very similar to those of hemophilia."

"It's just that I've only seen the symptoms of the butterfly girl. It would only drive her crazy and lose her mind if the man I saw or heard was close to her."

"What is true hemophilia like? Could you describe it to me, young lady?"

Li Qingluo didn't dare to look at her grandmother.

But he still said it clearly: "My symptoms are indeed quite different from those of Butterfly."

"When the poison took effect just now, I vomited two mouthfuls of black blood."

"In addition to the tearing pain all over my body, I also have a butterfly scar mark on my body. The mark is usually pink, sometimes purple, and when the poison takes effect, it turns a bloody red."

"I've tried it too. Smelling a man's blood or the poisonous blood of a butterfly will relieve the symptoms."

"However, the only way for me to detoxify easily is to drink a man's blood."

Dong Siyuan turned pale with fear: "How could this poison be so sinister and overbearing? It's truly vicious!"

He looked at Li Qingluo with a hint of admiration.

Just from the description, it must have been extremely difficult for a woman like her to survive.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that life is worse than death, right?

As expected, the girl that His Highness has his eyes on is no ordinary person.

Madam Pei: "So, Luo'er, you're drinking human blood?"

Mrs. Pei's face was pale, and she stared at her darling granddaughter in horror, unable to accept this fact.

Li Qingluo lowered his head.

Although it was Duan Rongshi who fed her the blood himself, it was an indisputable fact that she had sucked human blood.

Doctor Luo, noticing the situation wasn't right, quickly interjected, "I'm afraid this poison won't be eradicated for Luo'er anytime soon. Luo'er, you shouldn't run around anymore. The next time the poison attacks, Grandpa Luo and Doctor Dong are here. We'll definitely be able to help you through it."

Madam Pei: "Luo Fan, I'll trouble you and Doctor Dong."

"Luo'er, do you hear me? From now on, until the next time the poison attacks you, don't step out of your house again!"

"Otherwise, don't blame grandma for punishing you according to family rules!"

Li Qingluo could only lower her head and said, "Yes, Grandma."

She knew this would be the result.

But I still feel anxious.

The next time the poison attacks her, when her grandmother sees her madness, will she lock her up with a rope like a butterfly?

Li Qingluo bit her lips bitterly, then stood up and left.

After she walked away, Mrs. Pei lay on the table and started crying.

Luo Fan sighed deeply and walked over to hold her shoulders.

"Xiuzhen, were you a little too cruel to Luo'er?"

"I think she's a child who knows what she's doing."

Pei Xiuzhen: "She's just too savvy! She's hiding things like this from us. What else can't she do herself?"

"She wanted to die outside, or not harm anyone in this family when the poison took effect. How could I not understand that?"

"She doesn't want people to look at her like she's a monster...it would be more painful for her than death!"

"But if she really died, leaving me, an old woman, alone in this world, what would I do?"

"Also, he's drinking human blood! Don't you know how my brother turned into a beast that can't distinguish between human and ghost?"

Luo Fan: "Luo'er will definitely not be like your brother, pushing himself to a point of no return."

"We will all save her."

"Besides, she is also a person with conscience. She will not easily hurt innocent people."

Madam Pei: "Then whose blood did she suck last night?"

Finally made it clear.

Although he made his grandmother angry, Li Qingluo got over it after filling his stomach.

She decided the matter herself.

Having come to this point, she had no choice but to face it, and she did not regret going out alone to endure the first attack of the poison.

It's good that General Xiuli's mansion wasn't turned upside down.

Next, it depends on how Dong Siyuan and Grandpa Luo help her detoxify.

If there is no antidote for this poison...

Li Qingluo smiled bitterly, thinking that this was his fate.

However, before she is completely desperate, she will first kill all the people who have harmed her.

"Girl, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"It's already midnight, and the city is under curfew. I'm afraid the prince won't come tonight."

Li Qingluo coughed lightly a few times.

"He might have been tripped up by something. Ask Madam Zheng to ask Wu Quan and the others to see if they can find out what happened in the palace."

Que'er: "Yes."

Li Qingluo was thinking about Duan Rongshi and couldn't fall asleep after going to bed.

He simply turned over and called Que'er over to him: "Que'er, can you... help me find some storybooks to read?"

Que'er: "What storybook?"

Li Qingluo leaned over and whispered in Que'er's ear.

Que'er's face turned red instantly.

"Miss, those are banned books! How can we, girls, read them?"

"And if we were discovered, it would be terrible."

Li Qingluo: "Are you scared?"

Que'er took two deep breaths.

"Afraid!? How could I, Que'er, be afraid of such a thing? Just wait, young lady!"

Just one night.

A notebook filled with love stories that Que'er didn't even dare to open was handed to Li Qingluo.

"Miss, who do you think I got it from?"

Li Qingluo: "Mei Shuang?"

Que'er was shocked: "How did you guess it so quickly? That's boring."

Li Qingluo laughed: "You have no more knowledge in Jinling City than I do. Let me take a look first."

Li Qingluo couldn't wait to open the storybook.

However, the content inside quickly ignited her pretty face.

She originally just wanted to see how men and women could become more intimate, for example, how to avoid bumping her lips next time...

However, there were many explicit and bold contents in it, which made Li Qingluo blush and her heart beat fast the moment she read them.

She slammed the book shut.

"What the hell is this!"

This is in broad daylight, I really can't bear to watch.

She stuffed it under her pillow, stood up and said, "Let's go practice sword fighting!"

After a good sweat, Li Qingluo was wiping her face when Nanny Zheng came running in from outside: "Miss, no, it's not good - someone is here to propose marriage to you -"

Li Qingluo's heartbeat quickened.

"Is he serious?"

But she reacted quickly.

What Madam Zheng said is, something bad is happening?

If it was Duan Rongshi, how could she say it was not good?

Li Qingluo's expression changed slightly: "Which family? Who is it?"
