Beside him, a younger maidservant was obediently carrying a basin of water. Her hands were trembling slightly as she walked forward carefully and looked at the woman covered in wounds.
"What are you eating? Have you not eaten yet? Your skin is itchy. Hurry up and splash her awake!" Ma Gu stared at her fiercely like a yaksha, telling her that if she didn't, the next whip would hit her.
"Yes …" "Yes …" maidservant gulped down her saliva. Before she could raise her basin, Yun Xiu had already snatched it away.
A pot of water was poured onto the woman's weak body. Luo Shang opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't even have the strength to speak.
But Ma Gu still did not stop, the yellow whip had already been dyed red, as long as the woman in front of him fainted once, Ma Gu would wake her up and continue punching her.
The cold water was no longer able to calm the woman down, so Ma Gu asked someone to bring her some salt water. Luo Shang bit her lips, the pain making her sweat profusely.
"Aunty, stop hitting her. If you keep hitting her, she'll die." Finally, an elderly maidservant could no longer bear to watch any further. She walked forward and whispered into Ma Gu's ears. After all, she was Luo Ke's sister and the Empress Dowager herself betrothed to a wangfei. Ma Gu's mind was clouded with anger and she wanted to beat Luo Shang to death. If she really died, it would be more or less disadvantageous for the Duke.
Hearing servant's words, Ma Gu stopped, fiercely throwing the whip in her hand onto the ground, wiping her own hands, afraid that it would dirty her fingers, but she still did not want to stop there, following that, with an imposing manner, he ordered the woman beside him: "Royal Concubine is kneeling here, reflect on the situation, the sky is not bright yet, no one is allowed to come near, if there is anyone who disobeys my orders, then it will be the same."
Everyone below the stage held their breath, not daring to make a sound. They didn't dare to raise their heads either, and quickly dispersed.
Thunder rumbled above Luo Shang's head as heavy rain poured down, filling the entire Duke Palace. Black clouds stopped above the Duke Palace as they recounted the great grievances.
Heavy rain drops slapped against her, Luo Shang was no longer aware of the pain in his body, she was already numb to it, on the surface of the water, her pale little face was printed, without a trace of blood, her entire body was drenched, from top to bottom, there was nothing good about her. She clenched her fists tightly and held her breath. Her face was as white as a sheet of paper.
The rain and cold sweat had soaked her forehead and temples. Her eyes were closed with tears, her long eyelashes were trembling as she soaked in the water, and she was biting her lower lip so hard that a trickle of blood seeped out. Her long black hair dripped onto her shoulders, and her delicate body was soaked in the cold rain.
The sky darkened and Luo Shang fell down.
"Hey, little thing, who beat you up like this?"
Not knowing whose voice it was, Luo Shang did not even have the strength to open her eyes. It was only a blurry figure that could be seen through the wet eyelashes. It was a tall figure.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away."
His voice was very pleasant to the ears. As he spoke, the man lifted her up …
When she woke up again, she felt sore all over her body. Luo Shang slightly raised his arms, and weakly lowered them in the end.
"Little thing, you really can sleep, hehe ~"
He had no idea how anyone else could be in the room, or if it was a man.
Luo Shang turned her head, and saw that the man sitting in front of her, with a handsome profile and two curved eyes, was looking at her with squinted eyes.
"Why are you here?" Towards the King Han Leng Mu Fei, Luo Shang didn't have any kind feelings towards him, she always felt that this man was the same as her brother. In short, she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone from the Leng Clan.
Little did she know that in the future, these two men would mess up her entire life.
Hearing her question, Leng Mufei scratched his head in annoyance. He had guarded her for an entire day in this room.
Yesterday, her death had alarmed the entire capital. In the end, she had alerted the empress dowager and sent her personal imperial physician over.
The man crossed his arms and legs as he said unhappily, "I'm your savior. Why, do you want to be ungrateful so quickly? "
His smile was very nice, not as cold as Leng Shaoyu's.
"That person... It's you? " Luo Shang opened her eyes wide, when she fainted yesterday, there was a man who saved her, but she never expected it to be King Han.
Leng Mufei shrugged his shoulders and walked towards the woman on the bed step by step. Before he could open his mouth, he had already rushed over. He rested one hand on the woman's head while the other gently caressed her soft hair.
He looked down at the struggling woman below him, afraid that he would tear open her wound, so he could only tightly imprison her.
Luo Shang was unable to move, her lower jaw was caught by him, causing him to smile sinisterly, and then he spat out: "It's not me, who do you want it to be? "Big brother …"
Hearing him ask this, the eyes that were struggling just a moment ago immediately sank. Their usual cold and proud attitude was replaced with a bit of sadness and desolation.
Yesterday, she had mistakenly thought that the voice would be his, King Jin. She thought he wouldn't let her die, but she was wrong. He wanted her to die. He just wanted to torture her, only wanted to see her kneel in front of him and beg over and over again without any dignity.
"Why didn't you answer? "It seems to be true. Tell me, are you in love with your brother?" Leng Mufei was still smiling. His smile was very casual and lazy, but there was a sense of urgency in his eyes.
Luo Shang frowned slightly as she looked at his brows, a bit playful and serious, very much like that man.
Do you think I would fall in love with a man who tormented me daily and insulted me for wanting me dead?" Her quivering eyelashes were a little moist, and her clean face had a little stubbornness to it. Her bronze eyes were like clear water, and also a little misty.
How could she have fallen in love with that man?
Hearing this, the man on top of her laughed. The hand that was pinching her lower jaw gained a bit of strength.
"You don't want to thank me for saving you? This way... Isn't it rude? "
"Many thanks …" Luo Shang responded as if he had noticed her thoughts, and wanted to avoid the man's eyes.
The corner of Leng Mufei's mouth curled up, his smile was graceful and enchanting, and he raised his eyebrows to look at the red-faced woman beneath him. He was truly a shy and obedient person. You want to send me away just like that? "
"Then what do you want?"
Without waiting for Luo Shang's reaction, "Wu …"
The man had already gotten close to her lips and felt the little woman desperately struggling beneath him. He simply grabbed her wrist until tears fell from the corners of her eyes. Only then did he let go, unsatisfied.
She extended her hand in an attempt to wipe the tears at the corner of her eyes. However, she did not expect the woman to raise her hand and give him a resounding slap.
Of the two men from the Leng Clan, one was a dignified King Jin who had swept across the imperial court and had the demeanor of a ruler. A free, easy, handsome, unrestrained, and noble King Han. On the battlefield, there had never been a battle before. Many women had come knocking at their doorsteps, but they all ended up getting slapped by the same woman.
If word of this got out, it would not be a joke.
Leng Mufei sneered, but his face was dark. The warmth from his eyes had completely disappeared, and the black hair on his forehead vaguely appeared, leaving behind an extremely cold face.
"He is still smiling." I saved your life, what can a single kiss count for? So what if you can satisfy your brother's needs? "
His words were full of sarcasm and sarcasm. Indeed, no man of the Leng Clan was a good person. Other than insulting others, there was nothing else.
Suddenly, the door was kicked open from the outside with a 'bang'.
