The first ray of sunlight shone through the window and into the room. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a bowl of steaming medicine on the table.
The little girl by his side said sarcastically, "His Royal Highness has instructed the wangfei that you must drink this medicine. Your Royal Highness doesn't want you to bear his child."
The woman on the bed turned her head slightly and said with a wry smile, "Go back and report to your master. Even if I die, I won't bear his child."
She would definitely not bear that man's child. She did not want her child to suffer as soon as he was born, and thus bear the consequences of his actions.
The weather had gradually improved in recent days, and it was already noon, the scorching hot sun.
"Miss, please rest for a while. Just leave these clothes to me." Ah Yu walked forward and used his sleeves to help her take out a handkerchief to gently wipe the sweat on her forehead.
The wind in the courtyard was very soft, mixed with the fragrance of the flowers, giving Luo Shang a very comfortable feeling. However, in her mind, she remembered the rows and rows of purple flowers that she saw in Yue'e's pavilion yesterday.
Luo Shang pulled Ah Yu's hand and they sat on a rock under the wutong tree.
"Do you know the flower 'forget-me-not'?"
Ah Yu rolled his eyes, he thought for a while, then nodded his head and said: "Is it the kind of purple flower that has no fragrance, and is as ordinary as a sunset?"
"You know?"
"Well, this kind of flower is very ordinary. Normally, there wouldn't be any existence of this kind of flower among the rich and powerful families in the capital. Most of the time, it would bloom in the night, and its vitality is very strong. Why did Miss suddenly ask about it? "
Luo Shang laughed, her eyes were red and sleek, as she said indifferently: "I'm fine."
The kind of flowers she only felt were beautiful and shouldn't be living where the man lived.
In the evening, someone came to punish her for going to the Ning Hui Hall, which was the ancestral hall to pay homage to the Leng Clan's ancestors. There were trees and rocks everywhere in the courtyard, and as he walked in, he saw that there was a three-foot-tall green bronze cauldron on top of the big purple sandalwood sculpture table, which was hanging over the large ink dragon painting.
In the huge ancestral hall were hundreds of memorial tablets.
"Your Highness has instructed me that the wangfei will be here every day to pay her respects, copying the scriptures by hand to the Leng Clan's Undead. The prince also said that the princess was making amends for the Luo family, and hoped that she would be adept at it. servant said her farewells. "
After the maidservant left, Luo Shang walked in. The bright tombstone seemed terrifying in the twilight. But at this time, Luo Shang was not the least bit afraid, because compared to that man, the peace and quiet here made her feel more at ease.
After three incense sticks' worth of time, she knelt down and closed her palm.
"The ancestors of the Leng Clan, the wife of my daughter's ninth King Jin, Luo Shang. I don't know what kind of grudge the Leng and Luo Families have, and I don't dare to have any illusions about being able to resolve the knot in my heart. I only hope that the Leng Clan can release the Luo Clan and allow my daughter to kowtow and thank the ancestor of the Leng Clan. "
After three kowtows, he quietly knelt there.
After who knows how long, a little girl ran in panic in front of Luo Shang and said in a hurry: "Wangfei, it's bad, Ma Gu locked Miss Zhuo Jin in the firewood house, she's currently in the great hall whipping Big Sister Ah Yu, she's about to be beaten to death."
"What?" Luo Shang did not care about anything else, and quickly got up and ran out.
In the main hall …
The girls on both sides all raised their little faces to watch the show. Ma Gu rolled up her sleeves and ruthlessly whipped the weak woman who was kneeling on the ground. Speak quickly, did you take the Golden Bead that was lost to you for no reason? "
The woman who was kneeling on the ground was now covered with wounds. She staggered and then fell down with a thud.
A basin of water woke her up and whipped her again.
"Your mouth is so tough, are you going to admit it or not?"
Ah Yu was drenched all over, the water in her hair was flowing, she muttered weakly: "It's not me, not me …"
"Alright, what a cheap bone. See if I beat you to death or not." As he said that, he raised his hand, and waved the whip, but unexpectedly, Luo Shang ran forward and pounced on Ah Yu's body, blocking the whip for her.
"Miss …" Ah Yu held onto Luo Shang's clothes and cried.
Looking at her face that was green and purple, her clothes tattered and covered in blood marks, Luo Shang's heart ached. He touched her face and said: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"Miss …"
Luo Shang held onto the arm that was bloodied after being beaten up by Ma Saniang just now, and turned to the woman who was showing off her whip: "What crime did she commit for her aunt to use such a heavy hand?"
The woman standing in front of him had her arms around her shoulders as she disdainfully said, "The Duke Mansion has lost a few of their golden beads. Someone saw your little girl stealing it."
"Oh? Then why didn't aunty call that person out to interrogate him? Why did she only interrogate me? "
"One of the little girls standing at the side walked forward and respectfully knelt down at Ma Gu's feet. Last night, she had walked into the side hall in a fluster. When servant felt curious, she had followed and said that she was taking samples for the princess. It must have been ordered by the imperial concubine, so the servant didn't ask about it in detail. "
"You're lying... I've never seen you before, and you're lying... "Miss, I did not, I did not …" Ah Yu cried and desperately shook her head.
Luo Shang patted her shoulder, and said gently while supporting her body. "I know."
Ma Saniang coughed a few times and walked over. When the princess heard it, she asked, "What, do you still want to stay here and obstruct the servant's office?"
The black could be white, the white could also be black. Now, they had all sorts of reasons to frame him, and justice was in their hands. Luo Shang knew that struggling was useless, these people did not make any sense.
She gritted her teeth and said: "I was the one who told Ah Yu to go, I was the one who ordered it, it has nothing to do with her."
"No, miss, no …" Ah Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, shook her head with all her might. She did not want the Young Miss to suffer anymore because of her, she had already done enough for the Luo Family.
All the servant present laughed as they watched a good show. Ma Saniang was even more pleased, setting a trap and really catching a big fish like her as she wished.
"Go and report to the prince, just say …" Just say that the matter regarding the Golden Bead was ordered by the princess. " Ma Saniang brandished the whip in her hand, and with a bit of ruthlessness at the corner of her mouth, she hit the ground a few times.
"Yes sir!"
Waiting for the servant to rush back, he bowed in front of Ma Gu.
"What did the prince say?" Ma Gu asked urgently.
The corners of servant's mouth raised up as she said complacently: "The Prince said that stealing the golden pearl from the Duke's Mansion is a serious crime. I hope that aunt does not think about the esteemed wangfei's identity and can help him discipline her well."
The maidservant's answer was exactly what Ma Gu wanted, it seemed that the Duke really hated this woman, after that night of sleeping in bed, she thought that the Duke would take pity on her and stop, but she didn't know, hehe …
"Alright, go back and report to your highness. servant will properly discipline the wangfei on his behalf. I won't be lenient."
A bone-piercing wind blew coldly. The palace in the middle of the night was like a dungeon, tightly locking her in.
Ma Gu patted the whip in her hands, and walked towards Luo Shang step by step, her mouth carrying a sarcastic smile with malicious intent. She looked at the woman on the ground with a sinister gaze, and said: "Esteemed wangfei, since the prince has spoken, then I can only offend you."
As he spoke, he viciously lashed out with his whip.
Immediately, the woman turned halfway, and her thin clothes were stained with fresh red blood. A long stain, filled with ruthlessness, was forcefully branded onto Luo Shang's soft and slender body.
"Miss …" Ah Yu hugged Luo Shang. Ever since the girl had entered the Duke Palaces, she had suffered unbearably. Ah Yu knew that she should not have endured so much innocent crimes.
Luo Shang bit her lips. She was in pain, but she raised her head, laughed with difficulty, and spoke to Ma Gu in the blink of an eye. "Since it has nothing to do with my servant girl, then I hope that Aunt can take her away and treat her well."
With just a glance from Ma Gu, the two girls beside her dragged the struggling Ah Yu away.
"Pah — —" Another ruthless lash, however, Ma Gu's attacks were really ruthless. It was unknown how many times she hit, but the maidservant s on both sides did not even dare to raise their heads to look at the woman on the ground.
The woman bit her lips and slightly moved, but she still didn't yield. Her skin and flesh were torn and torn, and the clothes on her shoulders were tattered. Fresh blood gushed out.
Finally, she fell onto the cold, hard stone ground.
"Splash her awake!" Ma Gu gasped for breath, with her hands on her waist, she shouted.
