"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Yun Xiu, who had been standing guard outside the whole time, saw the man walk out of the room with a face full of hostility.
The man didn't even look at her. He only said coldly, "Call San Niang to see me."
"Oh …" "Yes!" Yun Xiu stood blankly on the spot, her eyes filled with disappointment as she looked at the handsome back of the prince. She had originally thought that today's makeup would attract the prince, that he would be able to hope to gain the title of concubine. With so many women in the prince's residence, the prince was truly heartless. He was unwilling to even glance at any of them.
The phoenix was the head of the hundreds of birds. With a cry that shook the heavens and shook the earth, it was originally a warm animal. That was why their relationship lasted for so long.
After Leng Shaoyu came out of his room, he directly went to the Phoenix Stage. This was something he had built for his beloved woman's birthday back then.
Many years ago, when she was still alive …
"Shao Yu, I really want to stay together with you on this Phoenix Stage for the rest of my life. Stay together with you and never leave you."
With a gentle gaze, he looked at the woman's face. With his gentle hands, he gently caressed her hair, looking at her slightly exhausted breathing after the dance. He gently raised his hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead, then pulled her into his embrace …
Now, all of those good things had been destroyed by the Luo Family. Luo Ke had killed the woman she loved the most, so he wanted to make sure that her sister would live a life worse than death.
He stood there quietly with his dark eyes narrowed. Memories of his past were faintly discernible. Leng Shaoyu's lips slightly pursed. With a bitter laugh, a cup of wine fell onto the ground. He got up, and walked towards the side of the Lotus Pond.
On both sides of the Phoenix Stage, the stone steps were as exquisite as silver snow, and even though the willow trees had no flower leaves, they were lush and lush and enticing. The golden pillars were carved with dancing phoenixes. Every hanging lamp was swaying in the air as the beaded curtain was embroidered.
The pure white lotus quietly floated on the surface of the water. It was so quiet, the days when Yue'e was not around, so quiet …
"Your Highness, please call me."
His heart was elsewhere, but he did not know when Ma Gu had already stood behind him.
Both of Leng Shaoyu's hands were behind his back as he wore a blue jewel-like robe over his body. He looked so noble and elegant, and how handsome the man inside was. His eyes were cold and indifferent, as if he could see through everything in the world.
"You want to kill her?"
Although she was used to the man's ice-cold tone, Ma Gu was very clear that her words just now were obviously filled with displeasure. She had been by his side for so many years that she was very clear on the slight displeasure in her every word and action. She anxiously knelt down, lowered her head and replied: "Ma Gu just wants to work for Your Highness."
"Ma Gu knows that Miss Yue'e's matter has always been a barrier in the Prince's heart, so she dared to …"
The words that he was about to continue, suddenly stopped the moment the man turned around.
The gentle breeze blew through the hair at the sides of the man's temples, but it did not cover his indifferent eyes. It was as if he was indifferent to everything in the world, yet cold to the point that it was hard to fathom.
Leng Shaoyu walked past her and gracefully sat on the stone chair. He crossed his legs and lowered his tone. He said, "Don't let her die."
He did not want that woman to die just like that. He wanted her to see with her own eyes how he personally buried the Luo Family within a sea of fire.
Didn't Luo Ke want his sister to marry him? Then he would slowly torture that woman and let her see that marrying him was the most regretful decision she had made in her entire life. If the old general of the Luo Family hadn't proposed marriage to the Empress Dowager, Luo Ke wouldn't have died either in order to ensure that his sister would successfully become Prince Jin's Wife.
Ma Saniang raised her head, she had a look of ignorance, and then her eyes moved, and an evil smile appeared on her face. servant understands, Your Highness, don't worry. "
Indeed, the Prince still hated that woman that much. Since he had given the orders of the Prince, she would naturally not let Luo Shang die so easily. Death was the most liberating thing in this world. On the contrary, living was far more painful than dying. Especially when one would see the people around one after another injured and powerless, and would feel helpless if they wanted to resist. This was the best way to torture someone.
"Go down." Leng Shaoyu held his breath, as if he was extremely tired. He rested one arm on the stone table, his head on his wrist, and closed his eyes.
Ma Gu stood up and bowed, then picked up the cape from the side of the pavilion and carefully draped it over the man's shoulders. Looking at his sleeping face, Ma Gu smiled serenely. This was the first time in her life that the Prince had not gone to sleep with his worried eyebrows, so she immediately left the Phoenix Stage.
The wind blew gently into the water chestnut and into the pavilion. It swept up the falling flowers in the courtyard. Even though it was mixed with the smell of the earth, it did not have a natural air to it. The Purple Gold Pavilion was an abandoned courtyard within the Duke Palace. The first day she got married, she was arranged to be here by Leng Shaoyu.
It was fine during the day, but at night, the place was eerie and desolate. The branches of dead parasol trees had long since crossed over each other. The serene and deep courtyard was extremely similar to a haunted house.
The window of the Purple Gold Pavilion was open. Ever since she married into the palace, there was no moon every night. The darkness of the night crept into the room through the window, bringing with it a sense of desolation. The woman in front of the dressing table looked at her pale face in the bronze mirror, and her melancholy eyes deepened.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Ah Yu who was dressing herself, Luo Shang turned her head.
The comb dropped to the ground. Ah Yu frantically knelt in front of her, his hands spinning around, tightly grasping the hem of his clothes as he cried: "Miss, I have let you down. The Luo Family … General, he … "He actually …"
Looking at her eyes that were as clear as water, Ah Yu had wanted to tell her this many times. She did not want to see this innocent girl suffer like this again, she should be able to live a better life.
"Big brother, he …" Is something wrong? " Seeing Ah Yu crying bitterly, and then stuttering in her words, Luo Shang asked anxiously.
Ever since the general had brought the girl back, the doctor had said that she might not wake up. Unexpectedly, she woke up. She had just lost her memory. Madam had instructed the several hundred people in the mansion to not let her know that her identity was not Miss Luo, but rather the citizens of Wei Kingdom. Not only would she die, but the hundreds of people in the Luo Family, including their families, would also be implicated.
If not for the fact that the real Miss Luo Shang did not want to become a debt repaying wife of the King Jin, and had secretly eloped and married with a mere man, the general would not have been so furious that she had accidentally shot that man, causing her to die from depression. The Luo Family would not have been shamed so much that they could do anything about it.
In order to gain the trust of this girl and willingly save the Luo Family, the Madam had to put in a lot of effort and put on a painstaking plan again and again. That day, watching the unconscious her on the bed, he had thought that a calamity would befall the Luo Family. For the first time, the depressed Madam revealed a smile. This girl's beauty, haughtiness, enchantment, and temperament were all things that Madam wanted. Most importantly, when she heard her husband say that even if she woke up, she wouldn't be able to remember the past, Madam had already affirmed that this girl was sent by the heavens to save the Luo family.
Their wife was the precious daughter of the State Duke, a descendant of the famous Nalan Clan's seventh generation, Nalan Rongya.
Ah Yu bit her lips, she had already made her decision at first, but now she decided to hold it in, and not speak of it, or else the Luo Family would face a disaster. Madam had saved her life. She had saved her when she was at her most helpless, and she had buried her mother deeply. She had raised her for over twenty years, so she absolutely could not say anything.
Ah Yu lowered his head, not daring to meet the pure and beautiful eyes of the woman in front of him. None... That's right, the servant misses the General and Madam. "
Hearing her words, Luo Shang's heart also became a bit disappointed. It had already been more than half a month since he married, but the Luo family still hadn't sent any news at all. Presumably, even if a letter was sent to the palace, she wouldn't be able to see it. That man Leng Shaoyu would definitely not let her off easy, and even more so, would not allow her to have any sort of relationship with the Luo Family. This was also good, in order to prevent him from saying that he was working with the Luo Family from humiliating her.
Just as Luo Shang was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Ah Yu opened it and a maidservant walked in with a steaming hot medicinal bowl.
maidservant put the bowl on the table, picked up the handkerchief and shook it at the tip of his nose.
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Luo Shang had already stood up and walked over. She picked up the medicine bowl from the table, elegantly waved her sleeves, and drank it all in one go.
He didn't want to have his own child, much less hers.
As the bitter medicine slowly flowed into her stomach, Luo Shang felt pain in her heart, as the liquid continued to flow and burn her heart. Leng Shaoyu, this man whose name was ice-cold, this man who was ruthless and merciless, only knew how to humiliate and humiliate the man who had tortured her. Sooner or later, he would try to see what pain was.
Luo Shang would never know that her nightmare had just begun. The pain in her future was something she would never even think about today.
After drinking it all in one gulp, she put down the medicine bowl confidently and wiped the medicinal droplets off her lips. She arrogantly raised her misty eyes. Under those pair of water-like eyes was the deepest bitterness of her heart.
maidservant sneered, then picked up the medicine bowl on the table and coughed lightly: "Then servant will not disturb your rest anymore. Oh ~ That's right, based on servant's memory, Aunt Ma Gu had just instructed servant to quickly inform Princess Hua-Yang to take care of the clothes in the courtyard. It's getting late, if tomorrow's pile of dirty clothes is still here, I'm afraid it will make Prince unhappy. servant will be leaving now ~ "
"You …" Ah Yu walked forward, and just as she was about to speak, she saw Luo Shang shake her head, and could only endure.
Seeing this, the maidservant smiled, waved the handkerchief in her hand, and swaggered out.
"The servants in the King Jin Mansion are too arrogant. Every single one of them only know how to add insult to injury." was so angry that her face was flushed, it was fine for the King Jin to torture her miss like this, but Ma Saniang could not wait to beat them up, even the servants were all furious, she was fine, this life was given to her by Madam, naturally she was not afraid. She was afraid that this girl would not be able to endure so much suffering and humiliation.
"Falling a hole and adding insult to injury? It's better than scheming. " Luo Shang laughed bitterly as she walked towards the quiet courtyard with graceful steps.
