The sun rose high into the sky. The originally slanting sun slowly moved with the passage of time. It had already bypassed the edge of the wutong tree, burning the earth. The smooth surface of the ground gradually became scalding hot once the bright light shone on it. The dry and hot weather was far from the ice-cold temperature of last night.

However, this heat was even more unbearable for the woman who had been kneeling in the courtyard for a long time.

Luo Shang's back was facing the blazing sun, and under the scorching sun, she only felt as if there were over a thousand insect ants tearing at her body at the same time, and beads of sweat slowly flowed down her slender body.

Her face was deathly pale, without a trace of blood. Her lips were cracked and dry, and the sweat on her forehead had already soaked through the fine strands of her hair. Her body suddenly trembled, losing its balance.

"Miss …" Ah Yu who was kneeling behind Luo Shang looked at the lady in front of him that was about to fall down and anxiously supported her.

Luo Shang gulped down her thirst, as though she was on fire, and weakly shook her head.

The Vermillion Bird beneath the eaves of the long corridor was no longer able to endure the heat. It flapped its wings and hopped up and down the cage, causing its small body to ache from the impact.

maidservant was just coming out from a room, she turned around and saw that the lady in the courtyard was still kneeling down, she quickly went down the stairs and walked towards her. The weather was too hot, so Cai Er fanned the round fan in her hands back and forth, and used a handkerchief to lightly wipe the sweat on her forehead.

"Esteemed wangfei, why are you still kneeling here? It has been almost eight hours. Please go back."

He blinked his eyes. His eyes were filled with sorrow, but they were still filled with tenacity. Luo Shang slowly raised her head and asked, "He …"

Cai Er knew what she wanted to ask, so she helplessly shook her head and sighed. She had already turned around, but stopped for a moment. Looking at Luo Shang's pale face, she really could not reject him.

"servant will report back to you."

Luo Shang revealed a faint smile and nodded. "Thank you."

"What are you two still standing there for? Hurry up and get two bowls of water." Cai Er instructed the two maidservant s before she left. She had already been in the Duke Palace for seven years. Although it wasn't very long, she had always been the King Jin's personal little girl the moment she entered the Duke's Palace. It was just that she did not have much arrogance, much less show off her skills like Ma Saniang. She only wanted to fulfill her duty, as long as she could always serve by his side, that was enough.

Cai Er gently pushed the door open and carefully closed it again. Separated by the purple moon screen from the mighty dragon, she bowed in greeting.

"Esteemed wangfei, it's already been eight hours since the wangfei kneeled there, do you want to …"

The stuffy and stuffy atmosphere outside did not affect the cold temperature of the room in the slightest. A cold voice rang out, instantly adding a bit of coolness.

"Since she likes to kneel here so much, let her continue kneeling." The man's voice was very casual, very cold. There was not a single trace of pity in his voice, nor was there any trace of humanity in his voice.

Although Cai Er sympathized with Luo Shang, after hearing what the Duke said, she could only remain silent. After saying "yes", she left. To her, the King Jin s were the heavens and the words spoken were the royal decree to the entire Duke Palaces.

After she had gone out, the man standing by the window looked at the weak and trembling woman in the yard through a small crack. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his perfect face outlined the charming outline of his side face.

Everything seemed hazy except for the dense forest of parasol trees on the two sides. They were still flourishing, and Leng Shaoyu had raised them very well, no, to be more precise, he had raised the parasol trees here very well.

Seeing Cai Er coming over with a bit of worry between her brows, Luo Shang had already thought of the outcome, how could Leng Shaoyu, that man, see her so easily.

"He still won't see me?"

Hearing her strenuous voice, he felt somewhat hysterical, as if every single word that came out of her mouth had been said after a lot of thought and thought.

Cai Er smiled kindly and advised. "Esteemed wangfei, why don't you go back first? Your highness … he just …"

Without waiting for Cai Er to finish speaking, she heard Luo Shang instructing maidservant behind him to help her up.

It was as if her knees had become one with the scorching earth, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up. It was hard to tell when she had become so weak, so powerless. The white silk had already left traces of blood on her knees. Although she was supported by Ah Yu, she still felt as if her body was weighed down by a thousand kilograms of iron.

Just like that, with the help of the maidservant, Luo Shang walked up the stage step by step towards the door.

"Esteemed wangfei …" Cai Er originally wanted to advise her, but she was not so stubborn, so he let her.

Luo Shang stood in front of the door, raised her already powerless hands and continuously knocked.

"Leng Shaoyu, please meet me, please meet me once."

"I was the one who shamelessly left the manor. I was the one who again and again touched your bottom line. Please meet me once."

"Please …"

She slapped the door with both hands. If she could, she would have kicked it, but she couldn't, and she didn't dare.

Only she knew how terrible that man was.

Luo Ke had fallen into prison. Before he was married, his sister-in-law had once said that in terms of imperial court, there were too many people who wished to harm the general. Right now, as long as her brother stayed in jail for one more minute, he would be in danger. She had to rescue him as soon as possible.

"Leng Shaoyu, I am willing to do anything, and will never revolt against you. Please see me."

Her tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. She was so arrogant, but because of the Luo Family, she begged for mercy again and again in front of this man.

After a long time since she received no response, Luo Shang raised her head and slowly slid down the room door and squatted on the ground.

"Miss, Miss …" Ah Yu did not know what to do, how she could save the general.

Just as Luo Shang was closing her eyes, a creak came out from above her head.

She looked up.

A pair of black eyes that were indifferent and haughty looked at her. Leng Shaoyu slightly frowned his willow-leaf-like thin eyebrows as his gaze drifted away from her face.

"Didn't you want to see me? What are you still doing here? " His voice was so cold that it had never carried any warmth.

Was he only so cold to her face? That day, when she passed by the pavilion, she saw him standing on a side path with her hands behind his back. Her eyes were filled with tenderness as she gazed at the gentle night sky. At that moment, Luo Shang felt that she was wrong. How could he have such a gentle side to him? This man was cold.

Hearing his words, Luo Shang immediately stood up and followed him into the room.

After circling around the wide and long screen, Luo Shang's willowy body froze there. She watched as the man casually sat down, crossed her legs and fanned the precious golden pearl in her hand. The loose robes and the hair scattered behind his shoulders made him appear extremely charming and casual. Her pair of deep eyes were gazing at the wine cup that he had picked up with her other hand.

"Please... Please let my brother go. " Luo Shang had originally wanted to ask him out, but she knew how much this man's desire to conquer the world was, so she wanted to beg him herself.

"Your brother?" Leng Shaoyu intentionally ridiculed and turned to look at her, his deep eyes sweeping her into his line of sight.

"Who else but the King Jin would have the ability to send a dignified general into a dungeon so easily?"

Hearing her words, the man let out a soft laugh and put down the cup in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly and meaningfully. You're wrong, the one who sent Luo Ke to prison was not this king, but you — "

He curled the corner of his lips, deliberately made a long noise, and then heavily bit on the word 'you' that landed on her head, causing Luo Shang's heart to tremble as he spoke those words one at a time.

"Why are you doing this? What right do you have to do this? " Luo Shang teared up as she looked at him, her eyes filled with resentment. Why was he able to control the fate of just one of them?

"On what basis? "Heh …" The man sneered with endless ridicule.

Luo Shang's lost eyes trembled. She bit her lips and spoke each word with great difficulty. If you let my brother go, I can do anything and never resist. "

The man suddenly carried a rare interest, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted. Looking at her, the disdain and contempt in his eyes made Luo Shang feel that he was so lowly.

"The conditions are not bad ~ Since that's the case, let This King see your meekness."

There was a slight smile on his face and a gentle tone, but from his mouth, there was always a trace of heartfelt ridicule.

"What are you waiting for? Do you want me to do it myself?" The smile faded from his face and he looked at her coldly.

"What?" Luo Shang was startled, her watery eyes opened wide, looking at the gloomy and cold face.

As she gradually understood what it meant, she hesitated. However, when she saw the impatience on the man's face, she had no choice but to extend her hand. Her arms were so heavy, and every button on her collar felt like it had taken a lot of effort. Her heart was filled with a little despair.

When she undid the last button on her chest, she hesitated for a moment, but her tears couldn't stop flowing down. She took a deep breath and untied the ribbon at her waist without hesitation. Gritting her teeth tightly, she closed her eyes tightly, causing the silky and silky silk to slip from her smooth white shoulders and fall onto the ground.

Thus, she followed his wishes and stood naked before him.

Leng Shaoyu squinted his eyes at the woman's perfect figure. He stood up and walked towards Luo Shang, his tall and straight body approaching him. Then, he picked her up and threw her onto the cold pillow carpet on the ground. There were many broken bits on the pillow, and the wound on Luo Shang's back stung painfully.

When he wanted to stand up, the man's heavy body had already pressured onto him. Luo Shang did not struggle, Leng Shaoyu did not pity her in the slightest, the rude and forceful person made all of her hopes go up in smoke, and was numbly controlled by him.

Luo Shang bit her lips tightly, forcing herself not to make a sound. Despair spread throughout her heart, and in the end, seeped through her entire body. She sank with her height into the earth.
