The pitch-black night enveloped the entire King Jin Palace, and the golden and dazzling Duke Palaces were swallowed up by the night, merging into one, as they sat there lifelessly …

The fiery-red lanterns hung high above each pavilion, swaying in the night breeze. The candles within the lanterns flickered and flickered. In the depths of the palace, the lights of the Purple Gold Pavilion were still burning brightly, illuminating the entire courtyard from within.

The woman sitting under the wutong tree sighed softly. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with her sleeve and struggled to stand up, using her painful legs to carry her clothes, step by step she walked towards the stand, carefully setting it up.

Luo Shang raised her head and looked at the pitch black night sky. The silver-white walls and the light shield were like a cage, firmly locking her down for the rest of her life.

She surveyed her surroundings, looking at the wutong trees on both sides of the courtyard that were already withered and dead. The bare branches intersected with each other without a single trace of life, and instead appeared even more sorrowful.

Trees are dead, but people are alive.

"Miss … "Miss?" Ah Yu had already been standing by her side for a while, staring at her blankly while staying silent. He called out to her a few times but he did not say anything.

Hearing the voice, Luo Shang came back to reality, she lowered her head, her eyebrows moved slightly, a pair of beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Seeing her depressed look, Ah Yu asked anxiously.

Ever since the young miss had married into the King Jin Palace, Ah Yu had never seen her smile. It was no wonder that the young miss did not cry all day after entering this place, which was considered good.

Luo Shang walked towards a parasol tree with small and delicate steps. She stood under the tree and used her slender fingers to caress the dried up tree trunk.

"Cut them down."

As if she hadn't heard her clearly, Ah Yu widened her eyes, looked at the parasol trees in the courtyard, swallowed her saliva, and asked her: "Hacked them all? "But …"

"I don't like the wutong, nor do I like these dead lives. Cut them all down. Is the cherry blossom seed I told you to prepare before we got married still there? "

"Oh, it's still here. Miss said that she would keep it, so I put it away in the box. Do you want to …?"

It reflected off the light from the house and onto the woman's delicate face. There was an enchanting beauty in her gentleness, and even without any modifications, it was still dazzling.

Ah Yu looked at Luo Shang. Although he did not know why the young miss would suddenly cut down the trees, he had a very bad premonition.

"Mm, go get it."

"But …" Yes, servant will go right away. " Although she wanted to stop her, seeing the determination of the woman in front of him, Ah Yu could only follow her orders.

Under the light, there were two thin figures holding heavy axes in the courtyard of the Golden-purple Pavilion. They were focused on the movements in their hands. This tree had probably been raised for many years. Even though it was a dead and empty tree trunk, it was still very difficult to cut it down.

"Miss … "Miss …" Zhuo Jin was out of breath, she ran in from the door in a hurry, with her hands on her knees, she gasped for breath.

"Zhuo Jin, what are you so flustered about? It's not that I want you to go to the kitchen and see if there are any steamed buns left for dry rations, Miss hasn't eaten yet," Ah Yu said as she looked at her.

Zhuo Jin shook her head with all her might, and panted, "No, Sister Ah Yu, Ma … Ma Gu is bringing a servant here in an aggressive manner. "

"What?" Ah Yu frowned, he put down the axe in his hand and reached for the door. As expected, right when he reached the door, he saw Ma Gu's face tensed up, and angrily walked over.

Looking at their postures, they were definitely in a better position.

"Aunt came late at night for …" Without waiting for Ah Yu to finish speaking, Ma Gu pushed her away and brought over 10 servants into the courtyard. Looking at the axe in Luo Shang's hand and the slight marks on the wutong tree trunk, it was exactly as maidservant had said. Luckily she had sent people to secretly watch the movements of the Purple Gold Pavilion, otherwise, it would have caused a huge disaster.

"Take the princess away." Ma Gu ordered the servants behind him, then walked over to the two robust men and forcefully held Luo Shang down.

Seeing that, Ah Yu and Zhuo Jin immediately blocked in front of Ma Gu. Zhuo Jin pulled her sleeves and cried: "Where are you bringing Miss?"

Ma Gu's face was filled with displeasure, she shot a glance at the servants behind him, and the few men immediately went over and forced the two of them to their knees. Then, Ma Gu sneered at Luo Shang, and shouted at the servant: "Take him away!"

Luo Shang didn't know why Ma Gu would suddenly come here, nor did she know why she made things difficult for him, but she was very familiar with the road, the road to Yue'e Pavilion, and the man's place of residence. It was also the first time she had been tormented by him.

Two servants held her tightly until they walked into Yue'e Pavilion.

After that, two maidservant s walked out of the house, and bowed politely in front of Ma Gu. The prince said that she wanted the wangfei to go in. "

Ma Gu frowned and asked: "Your Highness …. Nothing else? "

The two girls looked at each other, and one of them replied, "The prince said that you've troubled yourself with what happened tonight."

Hearing that, Ma Gu nodded her head, with a smile and a pleased look, she looked at Luo Shang, and walked out of the Yue'e Pavilion satisfied.

"Princess, the Prince wants you to enter." The two little girls looked at the woman standing at the side, then left after speaking.
