Chapter 554 The Emperor of Chu is truly a waste!
Eunuch Ji was accompanied by two strong maids and four guards with swords.
It seemed that if Li Qingluo showed any intention of disobeying, they would take action immediately and tie her up and take her to Qianyuan Palace.
Of course, Li Qingluo would not disobey impulsively.
She nodded to Nanny Zheng beside her.
Then he took Xiqiu and Eunuch Ji and walked out together.
The seventh princess came rushing over upon hearing the noise.
"Father-in-law!"
"What's going on here?"
"What do you have to say? Father, can't you ask it tomorrow?"
"Madam Nangong is a woman after all. If she is summoned to Qianyuan Palace by the Emperor in the middle of the night, her innocence will be compromised."
"How about letting me go with her?"
Eunuch Ji looked at Li Qingluo in embarrassment.
Li Qingluo:?
Can she still take care of a princess?
Moreover, a princess could think of something that a eunuch like him couldn't?
It's clearly a casual trampling on the reputation of a woman like me!
Dog Emperor.
Li Qingluo gave Eunuch Ji a cold look.
Seeing this, Eunuch Ji felt a chill down his spine.
However, Li Qingluo never expected that the Seventh Princess would come out for him so late at night.
Eunuch Ji was sweating all over, and was a little afraid of Li Wu in his heart.
So, she finally agreed: "If it's not too much trouble for you, Princess, please go with me and the General's wife."
"Oh right, wait!"
"Madam General, please take off all the weapons you carry and leave them here."
Li Qingluo pointed at the hidden arrows on the windowsill: "Are you referring to them?"
"Eunuch Ji, no one is sleeping and still wearing these things."
Qianyuan Hall.
"Your Majesty, Madam Nangong is here."
However, there was no sound from inside the closed door.
"His Majesty?"
Eunuch Ji shouted again.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from inside the room: "Let her in!"
Eunuch Ji pushed the door open tremblingly and invited Li Qingluo in. Just as he was about to close the door, Zong Zheng Xingyao shot in from the side like an arrow.
"Princess—Your Highness, His Majesty didn't let you in. Please come out quickly!"
Eunuch Ji was so frightened that beads of sweat instantly covered his head. He lowered his voice nervously and reached out to grab the Seventh Princess.
Zong Zheng Xingyao kicked the door shut.
He hit Eunuch Ji on the forehead.
He fell to the ground with a scream.
Eunuch Ji was so anxious that he regretted and shouted: "It's over, it's over, my life is over too..."
However, where was the shadow of the Emperor of Chu in the hall?
There was also a faint smell of alcohol filling the entire hall.
Li Qingluo pointed to a door and said, "He went in."
"The moment I came in, I saw him go in with my own eyes."
Zong Zheng Xingyao: "You are truly disrespectful to our father. He, his, are you going to die?"
Li Qingluo smiled: "Your Highness the Princess has come here today with the determination to die, so how can you only talk about me?"
Li Qingluo didn't think that she would really risk this and follow him just because she was worried about her own safety and innocence.
She wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of the marriage.
Zong Zheng Xingyao did not deny it.
"Stop talking nonsense and go see what my father, the emperor, has summoned you to do!"
Zong Zheng Xingyao dragged Li Qingluo and strode towards the small door.
However, when he was about ten steps away, he slowed down his pace cautiously.
Li Qingluo: "What's wrong?"
"Is there a ghost in that room?"
"Your Highness is so frightened?"
Li Qingluo lifted up the Seventh Princess's trembling hand.
Zong Zheng Xingyao: "I only know that there is a secret room in Qianyuan Hall."
"No one can take even a single step inside."
"Otherwise, you will die without a burial place."
"Back then, there was a beautiful woman who was favored by the Emperor. She thought she was someone special in his heart. So, recklessly, she opened the door halfway, and before she could even enter, he caught her red-handed."
"I heard that she was dragged into the secret room by the emperor."
"From then on, he never came out again."
“Only people have heard her miserable screams inside…”
Li Qingluo: "So your father intends to lure me into the secret room and then brutally murder me?"
The Seventh Princess timidly pulled Li Qingluo and suddenly wanted to turn around and run away.
Li Qingluo pushed her away, then quickly walked forward, pushed open the small door, and walked in.
“No——Nangong Qingluo!”
Li Qingluo closed the door.
He looked up at the secret room in front of him.
The walls are covered with densely packed portraits.
There were new scrolls on the desk, as well as wet pens and ink and dozens of color palettes scattered on the table.
There were scattered papers all over the floor.
Some have eyes painted on them.
Some have painted eyebrows.
Some have only one lip painted on them.
And these lively facial features seemed to come alive, and when pieced together, they became the person on the wall.
It jumps onto the paper, vivid and lifelike.
It was Duan Rongshi's face, and also the face of his mother, Zong Zheng Qingyue.
"Is she beautiful?"
Emperor Zong Zheng of Chu, wearing a loose robe and holding a wolf hair brush in his hand, stumbled out from the shelf behind.
He looked at the pictures of beauties on the wall with an obsessed look on his face.
Some are standing.
Some are lying down.
There are also people sitting among the flowers, admiring the flowers and watching the butterflies.
There were also young girls sitting on the swings, smiling brightly at them.
Some people even hold their chins and gaze quietly at the profile outside the window.
They are all Zong Zheng Qingyue.
It is the lovesickness that the Emperor of Chu has personally depicted over the years, stroke by stroke.
"Very beautiful. The most beautiful person I have ever seen in this world."
Li Qingluo spoke sincerely from the heart.
Zong Zheng Langri curled his lips and said, "How about you be buried with her?"
Li Qingluo: "Not really."
Zong Zhenglangri still had a handsome look on his face, but a look of confusion clearly flashed across his face.
"What did you say?"
"How dare you, bitch, refuse such an honor!"
"Do you know who she is—?"
Li Qingluo: "Who is she? Your Majesty, shouldn't you tell me?"
After entering the room, Li Qingluo did not kneel down, nor did he greet anyone.
She went in a half circle, circling with the Emperor of Chu.
I also took the opportunity to look at the structure of the entire house.
Zong Zheng Langri: "She is the woman I love most in this world."
"Now that you have seen her face, you can never leave this room again."
As he spoke, he drew a sword from the easel beside him and pointed it directly at where Li Qingluo was.
"I see that you are quite pretty and have a bright and cheerful personality. Otherwise, do you think I would be interested in a married woman like you to accompany her?"
"My Yue'er likes a smart and clever maid like you the most. She will definitely be very happy to have you serving her."
The Emperor of Chu became increasingly excited as he spoke.
Until Li Qingluo poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Using a living person as a burial offering, do you really think she would be happy?"
"Also, my husband has been away on business for you for months, but he came home a day or two late, and you killed his wife."
"I knew you were a cruel tyrant, but I didn't realize you were also a shameless person."
When had the Emperor of Chu ever been humiliated and scolded in front of others like this?
He instantly became furious: "Killing you and burying you alive with him is also his great honor!"
"It's just a woman. If he returns from his mission, what kind of beauty can I not give him?"
"By then, who will still remember an insignificant business woman like you?"
"He won't even know that you've been to Qianyuan Palace."
"Nangong, prepare to die!"
The Emperor of Chu raised his sword and stabbed forward.
Li Qingluo quickly dodged and raised his hand to tear off a scroll.
When the Emperor of Chu thrust his sword at her again, she quickly unfolded the scroll and faced the person in the painting against the sword.
Zong Zheng Langri hastily retracted his sword, causing himself to stumble back a few steps.
Li Qingluo took the opportunity to turn around and run towards the door.
Emperor Chu: "Want to escape?"
"You can't escape!"
He snorted coldly, but slowed down behind him without any haste.
Li Qingluo heard Zong Zheng Xingyao's voice outside: "Let me go——"
"Nangong Qingluo, they locked the door!"
"You better find a way out—"
Li Qingluo turned around and met the cold and terrifying face of the Emperor of Chu.
She calmly squeezed her wrist.
The expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
“It’s locked.”
"That's really, really great!"
The King of Chu didn't react for a moment: "What did you say?"
Li Qingluo took off the bracelet and pulled the thin thread apart with a "swish" sound under the astonished gaze of Emperor Chu.
"I heard that when the Emperor of Great Chu was young, he was never inferior to his generals in horseback riding and archery."
"How about letting me learn a thing or two from you today?"
Emperor Chu looked at the little things in her book with a look of contempt on his face.
"Just you?"
"You're courting death!"
"But you must put the painting down first. Otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"
Li Qingluo threw the scroll aside.
Her rude actions completely angered the Emperor of Chu.
He roared: "I want you to die!"
However, when the sword was wrapped around the thin wire, he discovered that it was not an ordinary wire.
Even his imperial sword couldn't cut it!
What on earth is this!?
Just when the King of Chu was surprised, Li Qingluo rushed forward with an arrow.
She grabbed the thin thread with both hands and pulled it down hard towards the tail of the sword, and the sword easily fell out of Emperor Chu's hand.
She opened and closed the bracelet, and took the opportunity to jump forward and jump onto the back of Emperor Chu. In the blink of an eye, the thin thread was tightly wrapped around Emperor Chu's neck.
"do not move!"
"Your Majesty, this thin thread you underestimated could easily cut off your entire head."
"But don't be so unconvinced as to try it."
The Emperor of Chu felt that he had been tricked by her.
Even though he was gritting his teeth, he really stood there motionless.
Li Qingluo raised the corner of his mouth in satisfaction: "Your nightmares and alcoholism over the years have long since drained away the bravery of your youth."
"Zong Zheng Langri is truly a waste now!"
After saying that, she grabbed Chu Di's head and turned it gently.
The King of Chu fell to the ground with a thud and fainted.
Li Qingluo checked his breath and confirmed that he was still alive before he got busy.
She was just testing the waters just now, but she didn't expect that the Emperor of Chu was so useless.
Just like the present-day Great Chu, its foundation has probably become completely vulnerable, and anyone can easily take down this crumbling dynasty.
Li Qingluo shook his head and pulled down the curtain he had already set his sights on.
After cutting open the curtain, they used it to tie up the Emperor of Chu tightly.
She was not in a hurry to knock on the door and make a fuss to go out.
Instead, he dragged the Emperor of Chu to a corner and left him there, then he looked up at the portraits of his mother that filled the room.
What to do with these paintings?
Li Qingluo narrowed his eyes and quickly came up with an idea.
