A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1208 - 948: Closing the Net 9 - Who is he?

Ji Youzhi smiled upon hearing this, "But now we know your secret, don’t you really intend to tell us about the Li Clan elder’s matter?"At this time, Lu Zezhong could no longer hold it together; his whole demeanor was exhausted.

"I’ll tell you, Divine Hunter Ji, I beg you not to let Princess Ata blow that whistle to let the Gu Insect suck my brains."

"Whether I listen to you depends on whether you listen to me."

Princess Ata had actually left, but Lu Zezhong did not know this.

At this moment, he was still engulfed in fear!

"I’ll cooperate, I’ll cooperate with you, tell me, what do you want to hear?"

"Good! Straightforward, then start from before the fire thirteen years ago!"

"The fire thirteen years ago?"

Lu Zezhong’s consciousness gradually returned, slowly going back to thirteen years ago.

"One dark night in early spring thirteen years ago, I received Ming Bowl’s token, so I secretly went to see her at the Prince’s Mansion.

I asked her where Prince Qing had gone?

She was so bold, frequently arranging to meet with me, the risk was too great, it would arouse Prince Qing’s suspicion.

It turned out she said Prince Qing had already started to suspect her and seemed to doubt Yun Sheng’s lineage!

She had no choice but to find me to discuss!"

"Prince Qing was already doubting you and the Princess?"

Ji Youzhi grasped the key issue and pursued the question.

"That’s what Ming Bowl said at the time!"

"And then? What exactly happened then? Why did the Prince’s Mansion catch fire?"

Lu Zezhong closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "We hadn’t said a few words before Prince Qing returned, I heard his footsteps and escaped through the window.

Before I jumped out of the window, I heard Prince Qing questioning Ming Bowl as to whom she was having an affair with?

And whose child Yun Sheng was, and he said he had already set ambushes in the backyard, just waiting to catch me and take my life!"

Lu Zezhong suddenly stopped at this point, licked his lips, and Ji Youzhi casually handed him the tea water specially prepared by Eunuch Ling.

Lu Zezhong took it and drank it directly.

"That day, I was really terrified. Although I was wearing the servant’s clothes from the Prince’s Mansion, I was still caught. At that time I was very scared, thinking that I was surely doomed this time.

Just then, someone suddenly descended from the sky; he was gaunt and bony, wearing a black cloak, and shrouded in the cloak entirely."

Princess Lianchun excitedly asked, "Was he the Li Clan elder?"

Lu Zezhong nodded, "Yes, he was the Li Clan elder, he killed the servant holding me right in front of me.

I was terrified at the time, and that’s when he spoke."

"What did he say?"

The Emperor asked urgently.

Lu Zezhong said, "He said, ’Your affair with Prince Qing has been discovered by him, I can save you this time, but not the next’!"

"At that time, I was terrified. My mind was full of thoughts about my affair with Ming Bowl being discovered by Prince Qing, what should I do?

What about my son?

Would Ming Bowl reveal my identity?

Would Prince Qing report this to His Majesty and then have me executed and my clan exterminated?"

"The Li Clan elder took me out of the Prince’s Mansion and talked to me about the implications. In fear, I knelt in front of him and begged him to save me.

He nodded and agreed to save me but didn’t promise to handle the matter thoroughly, yet he made a request of me!"

"What request?"

The Emperor asked eagerly.

"He gave me an insect, said to be a Gu Insect, and asked me to implant it into my body.

I knew that to survive I would naturally need to pay a price, he wanted to control me, but I had no choice, my life was threatened, and I had to tentatively trust him.

So I implanted the Gu Insect into my body, and he told me to find a way to lure away the young prince from the Prince’s Mansion the next evening, preferably to not return for the night."

"So was the fire at the Prince’s Mansion started by the Li Clan elder?"

The veins on the Emperor’s forehead bulged.

"Your Majesty, don’t be anxious, let him finish."

Princess Lianchun quickly spoke to calm the Emperor.

Then she gave Lu Zezhong a look, "Hurry up and continue speaking."

"At first, I did not know what the Li Clan elder wanted to do?

But for the sake of survival, I had no choice but to comply. The next day I found a way to bribe the nanny beside Yun Sheng to lead Yun Sheng to see the performances south of Vermilion Bird Street in the capital.
