Chapter 320: Luo'er falls into Qinyu's hands!

It's Qinyu!

Li Qingluo shouted in her heart: "Not good!"

She turned and tried to leave swiftly.

However, taking advantage of their lack of preparation and complete trust, Que'er and Deng Mama behind them had already been held at swordpoint by two tall maidservants who were clearly martial practitioners, step by step forcing them forward.

Que'er looked anxious: "Miss, don't worry about us, hurry up and go!"

Deng Mama: "Miss, this princess surely has no good intentions; don't worry about this old servant and her grandchild——"

The maidservant expressionlessly pressed the sword slightly harder against their necks.

In a moment, Que'er and Deng Mama's skin was broken and they were bleeding.

In the blink of an eye, blood stained their collars and chests red.

"Miss Li, swords have no eyes."

"Our princess only wants to see you, Miss Li; why avoid her and be so nervous?"

"Our princess also bears no ill will."

"Miss Li, why make such a scene?"

"If Miss Li refuses to obey, don't blame us two maidservants for being ruthless."

The two maidservants said this while their faces darkened.

Que'er spat angrily: "Just you dare threaten my master——"

She gritted her teeth and immediately resolved to throw herself onto the sword.

Li Qingluo and Deng Mama's faces changed drastically at the same time: "No——!"

Li Qingluo flicked her wrist, and a thin thread instantly wrapped around the maidservant's blade; then she exerted all her strength to yank it away swiftly.

She barely managed to dodge Que'er's resolute decision to throw herself onto the sword.

Li Qingluo exclaimed angrily: "Idiot, what are you doing!?"

"If you die, I'll chase you down to hell and never forgive you!"

Que'er's eyes reddened: "Miss, I... I just don't want to burden you."

Deng Mama shook her head; although she had been just as anxious, if it came to the last resort, she would make the same choice.

"She would absolutely sacrifice her life to protect the miss's safety!"

Moreover, Deng Mama now felt deep shame toward Li Qingluo.

"I never expected that I, too, would be careless today."

Even though the Xiuli Jiangjun Fu now has close ties with Prince Su, even though the miss and His Highness have already gone through life-and-death trials, even though they have long been gentlemen's friends.

But human hearts are unfathomable; she really shouldn't have let her guard down just because these are Prince Su's personal guards.

That's how she fell into the trap, putting the miss in this perilous situation!

It's just unknown whether Prince Su is aware of this.

If His Highness tacitly permits this……

Your Highness, surely you know that this Princess Qinyu absolutely harbors no good intentions toward the miss?

Moreover, the princess's maidservants are highly skilled; even this old fogey didn't notice a sound before they had already seized me and my grandchild.

Deng Mama's old face turned pale and ashen: "Miss, it's this old servant's inadequacy!"

Li Qingluo's face turned dark: "Whether it's useful or not, don't I know that myself?"

It's merely the princess summoning this lowly person for a few words; it's an honor for me, I'll go pay my respects—don't overthink it!

If you dare act on your own and hurt me again, when we go back, none of you are to follow me anymore!

Understand?

She gave Que'er and Deng Mama a deep look; the meaning in her eyes made their hearts tremble simultaneously.

If they were to risk their lives today to help the miss escape from Fortune-Full Pavilion, it wouldn't be difficult.

But the miss actually willingly surrenders herself for these two useless things……

The miss values them so highly as servants; how could her heart not be moved?

Li Qingluo's chest heaved violently with anger.

She fears nothing.

Any obstacle, block the soldiers with troops, flood the water with earth.

But she fears only…… losing any important person beside her again.

Que'er and Deng Mama have long been regarded by her as family.

Li Qingluo's closeness and reliance on them have long surpassed what she herself imagined.

Just now, Que'er's action almost scared Li Qingluo's soul out of her body.

Deng Mama and Que'er together lowered their heads in shame.

Yes, miss……

They will surely preserve their own lives, never again becoming a burden to the miss.

Moreover, the place beside the miss can only belong to them, grandmother and grandchild; how could we hand it over to others?

Only then did Li Qingluo look at the two maidservants.

She shouted a warning: "I, Li Qingluo, can surrender willingly. But if those two suffer even the slightest harm today, I will never forgive you!"

The two maidservants originally didn't even regard Li Qingluo.

But just now they saw her speed of attack and that special weapon on her wrist they had never seen before; the two instantly exchanged a glance.

This woman is certainly no ordinary maiden.

Li Qingluo's current reputation, they have indeed heard of it as well.

Betraying the classics and abandoning the Way, and leaving the family, breaking away from the clan.

Repeatedly committing shocking, outrageous acts, these rebellious deeds.

He is the person in all of Jinling City whom everyone knows, notorious.

She is indeed not easy to provoke.

But, she is now facing their princess.

Their princess is truly the most special, stunningly beautiful heaven-chosen girl in this world!

In front of their princess, this Li Qingluo is utterly insignificant.

"Miss Li, please!"

Li Qingluo turned around, only then looking at Sha Lei behind her.

Her eyes icy as frost met Sha Lei's: "Why are you doing this? With your actions, does Your Highness know?"

She only wants to know: today, having her brought to this Fu Man Lou, is it the intention of him, Duan Rongshi!

Sha Lei, however, avoided her gaze: "Miss Li, I merely did something that is absolutely beneficial to Your Highness."

What does "beneficial to Your Highness" mean?

Win over Qin Yu, to become a person of Prince Su?

Li Qingluo couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"But you betrayed him!"

Lifted her foot and stepped into the room.

Upon entering the room, the door behind her was shut heavily.

In this room, there are also four maidservants.

Each and every one is tall and slender, with outstanding appearance.

Li Qingluo could also feel that they are each top-notch martial artists.

They are the few female attendants who are always by the side of the Lotus Sect leader whenever she appears?

Sandalwood incense wafts in the room.

Freshly picked flower bouquets are placed everywhere.

By the window hangs a caged goldfinch.

Outside the window, a light drizzle falls.

Pure as a white magnolia, she is wholly holy; her appearance and bearing are those of a person above others, an otherworldly, peerless Princess Qin Yu sits on the main seat.

"Bold!"

"Seeing the princess and still not kneeling?!"

A maidservant shouted sternly.

Li Qingluo stepped forward, knelt on one knee, placed her hands on her knees, and respectfully paid her respects: "Li Qingluo, I pay my respects to Princess Qin Yu."

"Long live the Princess, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years."

The maidservant stepped forward and kicked at her knee.

"Bold ignorant wretch, dare not kneel on both knees—"

Li Qingluo instantly half-rose, raising her hand to strike the maidservant's legs with a fist-elbow.

Her speed of attack left even Princess Qin Yu unprepared.

She instantly sat up, looking at Li Qingluo.

How long has it been since the true eldest daughter of the Li family, raised in the countryside, returned?

She has already learned martial arts?

During the previous disturbance at the suburban horse field, she afterwards heard that this girl had helped several noble ladies escape, and she also knows archery.

Today she wants to see just what abilities this girl actually has!

Princess Qin Yu narrowed her eyes and immediately signaled to the other maidservants, wanting to test Li Qingluo's martial arts level.

However, as the few maidservants had just lifted their feet to go out, Li Qingluo actually stumbled and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

"You—!"

Li Qingluo lifted her head and glared angrily at that maidservant.

The maidservant clapped her hands, "I thought the daughter of the Jiangjun Fu could be quite formidable."

"Turns out she's just a waste who can't even withstand three moves from a maidservant."

The other maidservants, seeing this, all withdrew their steps.

Obviously, they no longer needed to test her.

Princess Qin Yu's eyes were also full of disappointment.

As it turns out, this Li Qingluo is nothing more than that.

A flash of feigned annoyance crossed Li Qingluo's face: "I've only just begun studying martial arts; indeed my skill is inferior. But why must you resort to violence? If you have something to say, just say it nicely!"

Though she was cowed, she actually turned her head and knelt on both knees before Princess Qin Yu.

"Is this satisfactory now?"

Princess Qin Yu looked down on her even more: she has no backbone at all, this waste—how could Duan Rongshi be willing to associate with her repeatedly?

Just based on this pretended show of courage and valor?

In the pottery jar heating on the nearby tea stove, stir-fried tea leaves with milk are bubbling away, the milk tea that Princess Qin Yu has drunk since childhood.

When the time was right, the maidservant poured the milk tea into a glazed cup that came from the Western Regions.

A few ice cubes were dropped in, Princess Qin Yu waited a bit more for it to cool, then she slowly sipped and tasted it.

She had been sizing up Li Qingluo all along.

So they still haven't called her to get up.

Li Qingluo also kept kneeling upright, not knowing how long she had been kneeling.

Qin Yu drank the milk tea, seeing her face still showing a stubborn, unwilling-to-lose expression, she finally concluded in her heart: indeed, she is merely rash, actually a fool with no brains at all!

Although she knew she wanted to see her, when she reached the door she still wanted to flee.

Where could she possibly flee to?

Willing to yield for the sake of two servants, she is nothing but a saintly white lotus.

Heh, this kind of person, she can pinch them to death with ease.

In vain, I once even looked highly upon her, thinking she would be some troublesome character.

Today all I did was let her see a bit of my prowess, and she puts on this feigned stubborn look for whom to see?

Truly, she has only appearance, disappointing.

However, Qin Yu does not want her to die so easily.

Otherwise, how boring would that be?

But she has clearly done many shocking deeds; how can she actually be so useless?

Could it all be the brain of that female veteran general behind her?

Including that rare-delicacies restaurant, it's basically her being guided one by one by that Pei clan behind her.

Qin Yu then said, such a village girl from the mountains, even if she has extraordinary talent and exceptional intelligence, how could she accomplish so many astonishing deeds in such a short time?

Including today's misfortune of the Qu family, it must also be due to the scheming of that Pei clan behind her.

The granny and maidservant by her side are none other than the eyes and hands of that Pei clan……

Princess Qin Yu finally opened her mouth slowly: 'Miss Li, do you still remember those few words I spoke to you before leaving the city?'

Li Qingluo certainly remembered!

Because that day I went to the Prince Su's mansion and was seen by her, that's why the Princess Qin Yu, who happened to be expelled from Jinling City due to punishment, firmly remembered it and loudly warned that upon her return she would certainly not let me off.

Otherwise, she would not be acting this out with her today.

Li Qingluo now knows she is the leader of the Lotus Sect, so she does not dare to be careless.

Moreover, this Qin Yu must know that I now know some martial arts, so Li Qingluo will actively retaliate, showing a bit of useless and rash skill.

I don't know whether this Qin Yu actually believes it.

Now only by making Princess Qin Yu utterly look down on me, knowing she is a mere appearance, truly useless waste, can Li Qingluo find a genuine chance to escape.
