"Your Highness ~" The maidservants guarding outside the door looked at the man with hostility on their faces. The alcohol on their bodies was trembling as they walked out, intending to support him.

"Scram …" The man roared. His eyes burned like fire. He wanted nothing more than to destroy everything. His ferocious face was like an angry lion that wanted to tear apart all its prey.

"Yes, yes, yes …" servant will scram now, scram now. " The maidservant hurriedly retreated, afraid that they would offend the man.

In the Duke Palaces, who didn't know of this King Jin, the younger brother of the current His Majesty's half brother, the Fourth Marquis, who was neither father nor mother? If he went according to his wishes, it would be Spring Breeze and Mu Yu. Who would dare to offend someone who was capable of making an enemy of the His Majesty s?

On a moonless, windy night... Red ribbons fluttered in the wind everywhere. In the yard, the man's hair was messy and his clothes were white. He raised his wine cup with a dejected look and drank the wine in one gulp while looking at the crescent moon in the night sky with a hazy smile.

"Yue'e, why are you... "Can you not wait for me …"

"Yue'e, my Yue'e …"

The cold wine dripped from his hair, soaking his clothes. The man lazily laid on the stone, half asleep, as if he had seen a woman's face. She had a beautiful smile on her face, but just as he was about to grab her, she gradually walked away …

Three years ago.

"Leave him be!"

The moment his head landed on the ground, the imperial edict slipped out of his hands. He thought that he could save her, but he was a step too late.

"Luo Ke, this king will not let you off." A man leaning against the rain stood in front of the stage, his eyes bloodshot and filled with anger. He clenched his fist and spoke word by word.

Luo Ke held onto his blade and stood still, the blood still flowing from his blade, as he slowly put it down. The daughter of a criminal, a wanted criminal in the imperial court. How could I possibly have failed?

What happened all those years ago had appeared before his eyes today, at this moment.

Leng Shaoyu raised his head, and poured the wine directly down his head. Only by doing this would he be anesthetized, and be able to feel better in the cold night.

Before the night even faded, there was a series of knocks on the door that made Luo Shang have no choice but to get up.

Last night's knee had been broken by the man's push, and now it had congealed into a bloody scar. She opened the door gently. It was a middle-aged woman standing outside. Her face was solemn and indifferent, her hair was tied up in a bun, and disdain was mixed between her eyebrows. Behind him were four maidservant s, all of them with their heads lowered, holding trays covered with cloth in their hands.

This woman was the steward of the King Jin Palace, the one nicknamed 'Ma Saniang', Ma Gu.

"Is there something you need?" Luo Shang looked at her and asked.

Ma Gu did not even look at her, and directly walked into the room. She was an old man from the Jin Clan, so naturally, she had better treatment towards others, it was understandable for her to be a bit arrogant.

The palace has its own rules. Anyone who enters here must follow our rules. Even the royal concubine." She waved her hand and a maid carefully handed her a thick book. After that, Luo Shang took the book from her and casually flipped through two pages. The densely packed words were printed on the paper, and it was really a headache to read it.

"Bring it here!"

A few maidservant s opened the clothes in their hands, there were a few stacked books.

Ma Gu arrogantly raised her face up and said, "Your Highness had instructed me that like everyone else in the Duke Palace, there is no need for you to receive any sort of preferential treatment. What the princess wanted to do was to wash and clean the courtyard just like them. In addition, she had to copy the scriptures from the ancestral hall every night. If the wangfei doesn't agree, I believe the prince will also blame you, do you understand? "

Luo Shang did not nod or respond. Her indifferent eyes swept across the room as she turned around.

Seeing her acting so coldly and arrogantly, Ma Gu sneered. The Prince had said that he wanted her to discipline his wife properly, so she would naturally do things for him. He shouted towards the door, "Bring him in!"

As he said this, a few servants walked over with two women on their knees before them.

"Miss ~" Zhuo Jin lowered her head, being forcefully pressed into the ice-cold ground by someone. These two people, were her concubines. Zhuo Jin had been raised in the Luo Family since young, so when she woke up, she saw that the first face she had ever seen was this kid that loved to laugh.

"Aunt, what do you mean?"

Ma Gu did not speak, but used her actions to express her intentions, and raised her hand.

"Pah!" A ruthless slap landed on Ah Yu's face, causing her face to swell up.

"Princess Hua-Yang doesn't understand, which means she has failed in her duties as a servant. Your body is made of gold and jade, without the orders of your highness, the servant cannot touch it, but they are different, lowly slaves should bear the consequences for you, what about the wangfei? "

Ma Gu was vicious and merciless, always doing whatever the Duke ordered her to do. As long as the Duke said it, even if it meant taking her life, she would be willing to give it to him with both hands.

Ever since Miss Bai Yue'e passed away, the Prince had been living in pain and self-blame all day. Ma Gu knew that the Duke thoroughly hated the Luo Family, and naturally hated this woman as well.

How preposterous!

Luo Shang raised her hand, the hand that wanted to hit Ma Gu initially, was fiercely grasped by someone.

"Who gave you the guts to touch my people?" A thick and cold male voice sounded out above her head. Luo Shang suddenly turned his head, and met the man's eagle-like eyes.
