Chapter 391

"Grandma! Kill Luo'er!"

"Luo'er can't take it anymore——"

"Li Qingluo let out a miserable, shrill cry."

"Pei Lao Furen also wept, clutching her tightly: 'Luo'er, it's Grandma's fault……'"

"Nan Gongdi saw this, unable to bear it, turned his head away: 'Luo Fan, quickly go feel her pulse!'"

"'Afterwards, I will personally draw blood to detoxify her.'"

"'Hurry up!'"

Nan Gongdi also felt heartbroken, could only lean on the table and sigh.

Luo Shenyi and Dong Siyuan did not dare to delay, and immediately stepped forward.

The two had just felt Li Qingluo's pulse when they were met with her violent thrashing.

"Let them out——"

"Hurry!"

"Otherwise I'll kill them!"

"I really will kill them……"

Li Qingluo burst into tears.

Her eyes were blood-red beyond compare.

Her chin was already streaked with blood from biting her lip.

She looked like she had turned into a demon, yet no one in the room feared her.

"Luo'er, bear with it a little longer."

"Let Grandfather Luo check your current symptoms; later Grandmother will have Grandfather Luo personally draw blood to feed you."

"Grandmother has lost……"

"Grandmother admits defeat!"

Pei Lao Furen also burst into tears.

She could not bear to watch her beloved suffer so terribly, and she now understood why Luo'er had insisted on leaving home last time to endure the first outbreak of poison on her own.

She also felt even more heartbroken over the injustices and pain this child had to endure.

But she could not bear to watch this child truly go to her death……

However, Li Qingluo was already in so much pain that she was about to lose consciousness completely.

She could only emit anguished cries.

Que'er and Cui Er stood aside, sobbing.

Zhang Mama and Zheng Mama hardened their hearts and stepped forward, together firmly restraining Li Qingluo.

However, just as Luo Shenyi felt Li Qingluo's pulse again, a black-red figure flashed into the room.

"What are you doing?"

Duan Rongshi rushed in, and upon seeing the scene, he was so shocked his soul seemed to leave his body, and he let out a furious shout.

He disregarded all etiquette, ignored the elders present in the room, and rushed straight to the bedside.

With a few swift motions of his hand, he undid all the bonds restraining Li Qingluo.

Duan Rongshi tightly embraced Li Qingluo, and amid everyone's stunned gazes, he angrily shouted, "Get out!"

"All of you, get out——!"

Seeing this, Pei Lao Furen could not help but be moved: "Your Highness Prince Su, I, your old servant, know you are deeply devoted to Luo'er, but now Luo'er's mind is clouded, and this is the best time for Luo Shenyi and the others to treat her; please wait a moment longer."

Duan Rongshi: "General Pei!"

"Luo'er is under my care; please all of you leave!"

"In no more than ten days, the medical women from MiaoJiang will reach Jinling; by then there will surely be a way to treat Luo'er's condition!"

Pei Lao Furen: "Then please have Luo Shenyi quickly bring a bowl of blood for Luo'er?"

Duan Rongshi: "No need! I said, Luo'er is under my care!"

His face was already full of impatience.

He clenched his teeth, barely restraining himself from continuing to fly into a rage.

"Please, General Pei, have everyone evacuate this place at once!"

Pei Lao Furen still wanted to say something, but Luo Shenyi and Zhang Mama urgently helped her out.

Que'er and Zheng Mama, in perfect unison, together shut the door tightly.

Soon, there was no one left inside or outside the Free Abode.

Pei Lao Furen was dragged to the courtyard, still fuming: "I am Luo'er's biological grandmother—what does he mean by this?"

"He is a prince, a royal, an imperial noble—does he think he can come to my mansion to run amok and seize my granddaughter?"

"Even if he did this for Luo'er's sake, this is still overly domineering and rude!"

"Is there really no way to save Luo'er?"

"Only he feels sorry for Luo'er, while we are all good-for-nothing scoundrels—is that it?"

Pei Lao Furen simply could not understand.

Although the last time at Nan Gong's villa, Prince Su had come in the middle of the night to see her, sincerely expressing his feelings for Luo'er.

And seeing his sincere attitude, I had also prepared to give him a chance, to see what he would do.

But this does not mean setting aside my role as grandmother!

She also feels deep pity for Luo'er!

She even broke her own inner rules, planning to let Luo'er drink human blood……

All the grave sins have been silently decided upon, to be borne by oneself.

But this Duan Rongshi is really too much!

Luo Shenyi comforted her: "Xiuzhen, why don't you think—he is a prince, the emperor's dragon heir, now he is alone in the room; how could he save Li Qingluo?"

Zheng Mama also cried and said: "Old Lady, last time it was also Prince Su who saved the young lady."

Pei Lao Furen trembled all over.

He actually… would be willing to personally cut his own blood to feed Li Qingluo?

Her face was full of disbelief.

Only then did she realize that she had misunderstood Li Qingluo.

She thought Li Qingluo had voluntarily drunk human blood, but it turned out that Prince Su had actively fed Li Qingluo!!

Initiative and passivity are completely different things.

Yet how many people in the world could do such a thing?

To save another's life, they disregard their own safety……

Just then, a voice came from behind: "Grandmother, I heard Li Qingluo is ill. Is there anything I can help with?"

The person was none other than Li Jingchuan, who never even stepped out of the gate on ordinary days.

Everyone stood silently outside the gate of Free Abode.

Meanwhile, inside the room, Duan Rongshi looked at Li Qingluo, who was near fainting in his arms; the usually aloof and noble person's face showed nothing but anguish.

"Li Qingluo, I'm late again."

"It's my fault, I made you suffer."

Saying this, he unfastened his outer robe, peeled off layer after layer of clothing, then quickly sliced a fresh wound on his arm with a small knife and brought it to her lips.

"Drink, and it won't hurt anymore."

He softly coaxed her with a gentle murmur.

But upon smelling the blood, she quickly woke up in pain again.

Seeing his face, she kept shaking her head.

"I can endure…"

"Your Highness, you should leave quickly…"

Duan Rongshi coaxed her: "Listen, be good."

"Shh, it'll be fine soon…"

He once again personally fed the blood to her lips.

Such temptation, for Li Qingluo who was drowning in pain, was undoubtedly like a starving person whose intestines were burning with hunger suddenly being given a mouthful of rich meat.

She lost her reason again, red-eyed, and took a big gulp……

After Li Qingluo calmly fell asleep again, Duan Rongshi gently laid her down.

He bound the wound and put on his robes.

Duan Rongshi did not rush out; instead, he first found a cloth, dampened it with water, and carefully wiped away every trace of blood from her chin.

Upon seeing the bloody, split wound on her lips, the already calmed Prince Su's eyes darkened, and a thin mist of anger rose again.

"Stupid girl, is this your way of self-control?"

He slowly bent down, about to touch that fresh, split red lip, when a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the people waiting at Qing Song Back Mountain have arrived."

Duan Rongshi: "Hmm."

He rose, lowered his head to glance at Li Qingluo a few more times, then turned and hurried away.

On the cliff where the black wind howled.

Zong Wu Heng landed lightly as a swallow on the treetop and grabbed Zuliyah's shoulder.

"Wake up."

"Zuliyah? Wake up!"

Zuliyah slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing the newcomer, she widened her eyes in terror: "You… hurry and leave!"

Zong Wu Heng: "Rest assured. We've scouted; the guards watching you are all asleep. To be safe, we've killed them all!"

Zuliyah gave a bitter smile and shook her head: "Not that… these past days, they've only given me one meal of water a day…"

"I haven't touched a grain of rice for many days…"

"Even if they brought me a piece of human flesh now, I could bite it down…"

"Moreover, I am about to have the poison erupt…"

"I don't even know what kind of evil spirit I will turn into."

"For the safety of the Sixth Prince, please leave quickly…!"

Zong Wu Heng's face showed shock: "Damn it, they also gave you that kind of medicine?"

Zuliyah: "It's Qin Ling… who betrayed us!"

Zong Wu Heng's face turned vicious: "As a prince, I will surely skin him!"

Saying this, he drew his knife and slashed at the rope hanging Zuliyah.

Yet, although the rope was already sparking from the cuts, it still hadn't broken!

Zuliyah always felt that Zong Wu Heng's appearance was too smooth.

She anxiously growled: "Don't mind me… hurry and leave!"

"Just smelling your scent will make me go mad faster!"

"Sixth Prince… please help me pass a message to the old lord…"

"Just let me say, I, Zu Li Ya, in this life... have no regrets."

Zong Zheng Wu Heng saw he couldn't save her; just as he was hesitating, he simply cut off both her hands, when a voice icy to the extreme sounded from the cliff edge: "Still not rescued?"

"Zong Zheng Wu Heng, this prince has already given you enough time."

"It's your own uselessness."

"Now it's my turn to catch you."

Duan Rongshi's figure walked out from the gradually brightening firelight.

Zong Zheng Wu Heng's heart was already in turmoil like stormy waves, and on his face he could only maintain a sliver of composed calm.

"Duan Rongshi, you deliberately lured me here."

Zong Zheng Wu Heng saw that the guards he had just clearly killed reappeared beside Duan Rongshi.

And the last of the men he brought—where is even half a person's shadow?

They were probably all silently wiped out by him.

What else does Zong Zheng Wu Heng not understand?

This is the heavenly net and earthly trap that Duan Rongshi had long set for himself; now he has utterly no way to escape, with no retreat left!

Below his feet is a cliff; ahead is Duan Rongshi.

Well done, well done!

He actually knew I had sneaked into DaLiang, and also knew that behind Zu Li Ya would be me.

If it wasn't Zu Li Ya betraying me, then it's that Duan Rongshi really has some ability.

And all my painstaking efforts over a long time have actually fallen into his hands!

Truly, I was careless.

Zong Zheng Wu Heng is full of unwillingness!

"This prince might as well fight to the death; perhaps I can still carve out a sliver of life!"

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable, shrill scream.

It turned out that Zu Li Ya opened his mouth and bit his arm, biting through his clothing and actually tearing out a piece of raw flesh!

Zu Li Ya also succumbed to the poison.

Moreover, it came on fiercely; in an instant he became neither human nor ghost, a monster that craves human flesh.

In his impulse, Zong Zheng Wu Heng almost directly twisted Zu Li Ya's neck.

Duan Rongshi raised his hand and waved: "Seize him!"

Zhui Yu and Leng Dian flew up together.

Zong Zheng Wu Heng is not a match for the two of them combined.

As long as he doesn't have a death-defying resolve to not jump off the cliff, capturing him is not difficult.

After capturing him, Zong Zheng Wu Heng still refused to submit, only coldly laughing: "No wonder he's of the Duan lineage—cruel and ruthless!"

Duan Rongshi: "You, a defeated subordinate, what right do you have to judge what kind of person I am?"

"Zong Zheng Wu Heng, this prince can let you die silently in DaLiang. Is that what you want?"

Zong Zheng Wu Heng's face turned white inch by inch.

Duan Rongshi waved his hand: "Imprison him!"

After saying that, he didn't even look, just heard the endless howls and wails of Zu Li Ya, suffering as if being sliced by a thousand knives.

He only left one sentence: "This prince still has urgent matters and must return to Jinling again."

"'Here, wait for this prince to return and then decide the disposition.'"

Everyone knelt down: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Duan Rongshi's figure then disappeared once more into the night...
