Three short days seemed to pass very quickly. Unknowingly, it was already the time to submit the scripture. The night was as quiet as usual. However, there was no wind tonight.
Under the bright light of the candle, the slim and frail woman inside the ancestral hall finally put down the brush she had been holding for three whole days. She roughly wiped the sweat off her forehead.
In these three days, Luo Shang was completely exhausted, she did not even close her eyes, and would occasionally kowtow, and she would just use warm water to moisten her eyes and continue copying, afraid that there would be any delay. Because she was very clear what that cold and heartless man, Leng Shaoyu, would do.
"Princess, the Prince invites you to the main hall." The one who came to report was maidservant Cai Er. She was dressed in light green clothes and her makeup was extremely plain.
"Alright, I'll be troubling Miss to go back and report to the Prince. This Concubine will go right away." Luo Shang modestly stood up and said.
Cai Er smiled and nodded her head, she then raised her sleeves and left the place.
After she left, Luo Shang was about to tidy up the two piles of scriptures on the table, just as Bin Er happened to come over with some tea. When she saw Luo Shang bending over, she quickly pulled his hand and said: "Royal Consort, leave this matter to servant, the clothes are already prepared, Royal Consort should quickly go and change, servant will clean up everything here, you can go ahead."
Hearing her words, Luo Shang nodded her head, and turned to enter the side room.
At the same time …
The two sides of the main hall of the King Jin Palace were already filled with maidservant s, while Ma Gu stood at the bottom of the stairs, occasionally looking outside.
"Princess Hua-Yang still hasn't come. Sister Yun Xiu, do you think she's afraid of coming?"
"I wonder if that girl Bin Er will be able to..."
Before the two girls could finish their words, they heard Ma Gu's angry roar. Those who wish to live, shut your mouths for me. "
The two girls, including Yun Xiu, and all the other maidservant slaves present lowered their heads, not daring to look up as Ma Gu walked down the stairs.
It was only when a little girl was hurrying through the night, panting heavily as she ran into the great hall, that she shouted, "It's here! It's here, Aunt! The wangfei is here!"
Everyone then turned their heads to look at the entrance of the hall.
In the darkness of the night, a graceful woman gradually walked over. Her steps were light and light, and she unsteadily walked up the stairs.
A thin silver tassel hung above her head, and there was a thin layer of makeup on her exquisite jade face. It didn't have much embellishment, and it just happened to cover up the darkness around her eyes, as well as her haggard face, while the light golden lines around her waist outlined her perfect posture.
She was truly a beauty that could topple empires and topple empires.
Watching as everyone in the hall stared fixedly at Luo Shang until she walked in, Yun Xiu gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
"Princess Luo, we thought you wouldn't dare to come?" Yun Xiu placed both of her hands on her waist, looking at the woman in the middle of the hall with eyes raised, but just as Ma Gu was coughing lightly, she immediately retreated to the side.
Luo Shang did not even look at Yun Xiu. She just disdained to have any conversation with this kind of person. Tonight, the reason why she could stand here was entirely to hand over those thousand scrolls of scripture paper in order to save the Luo Family.
He had already stood in the great hall for a long time, until the servant at the door raised her voice and shouted, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
Only then did everyone in the great hall kneel down together, respectfully following the man in as they called out, "servant and the others greet Your Highness!"
"Your servant greets Your Highness!"
A tall and elegant figure with a straight and upright posture walked into the main hall with big steps. His clothes were made of fine ice blue silk, and the snow-white curls embroidered with elegant patterns of bamboo leaves shone together with the goose-fat jade hairpin on his head. He cleverly revealed the extraordinary figure of a noble prince.
His chin was slightly raised, and his deep eyes were as bright as the stars. He wore an ink-black satin robe, and within the robe, there was a silver border carved with hibiscus flowers. He wore a jade belt around his waist, and held a fan made of ivory, gently fanning himself in front of his chest.
The man passed by Luo Shang and stopped by her side for a moment, but didn't stay for long. He brushed by her shoulders and walked straight up the stairs in the hall. He was still fanning himself with the folding fan in front of his chest with one hand, while the fingers of his other hand lightly tapped the handle of his chair. His handsome face wore a smile that was not a smile as he watched the woman standing below the stage.
Luo Shang looked at his devilish cold face and immediately retracted her gaze. She really didn't know why the heavens would bestow such a good piece of skin to this cruel and cold man.
Seeing that the man in the hall had folded her fan, Ma Gu immediately nodded her head in understanding, and shouted out the door: "Bring out the scripture."
Then, two men walked up, holding thick and heavy scrolls of paper in their hands, they carefully walked into the great hall, followed by maidservant Bin Er.
"Your Highness." Ma Gu took a step forward and watched the elegant man sitting on his seat casually pick up the teacup on the table. It was only when he put down the cup that Ma Gu extended her right palm for them to pass the scripture to the man.
"Wait a moment."
The two men stopped in their tracks. Luo Shang walked towards them with an indifferent face, raising the worry in her eyes. She extended her slender fingers to casually flip through the first few pages of the two stacks of paper.
The two servants came up to the dais with rolls of paper that hid their eyes from view, and knelt at the man's feet.
Leng Shaoyu playfully turned the thumb ring, his eyes swept past the two thick volumes of paper. He reached out his palm and casually flipped through a few pages, his long and narrow eyes immediately filled with a deep black color.
His heroic eyebrows rose as he chuckled. His face was still as calm as ever, but the corner of his mouth was flirting as he said, "Is this the answer you gave me?"
The woman on the stage raised her eyes and looked at him with a stern gaze. She didn't know what the man was talking about, or if he was just teasing her on purpose.
With a wave of his sleeve, he scattered the two stacks of papers in front of him onto the ground. The papers that covered the sky and earth slowly floated down from the high platform and landed in front of Luo Shang, scattering all over the place in a mess.
"Prince, please calm your anger." When all the maidservant slaves in the hall saw this, they immediately kneeled down. They didn't know why the prince was so angry, could it be that the scripture recorded by the imperial concubine was very different from the original script? That's why the king is so unhappy?
Everyone only guessed, including Ma Gu, they could only guess in their hearts, and no one dared to say anything.
"What does King Jin mean by this?" Luo Shang raised her gaze and looked at the man on the stage. She had spent an entire three days and three nights copying these down, yet this man …
"Show me your —" Leng Shaoyu signaled the woman with his eyes as he picked up the scripture and looked at it clearly.
Luo Shang bit her lips, bent down, and picked up the scripture on the ground. She held the scroll in her hand, but her heart was as heavy as a thousand kilograms of iron, unable to breathe. She frowned and opened her eyes wide, thinking: How could this be?
She stretched her hand out and picked up a dozen more, all of them the same. Why was there no writing on this paper? It was clearly written just a moment ago, but how did it turn out like this? Luo Shang frowned, her watery eyes were filled with anxiety, as if she had accidentally discovered something. She brought her nose closer, and carefully smelt the smell of the water, it was pure water, and if this medicine were to be soaked into a paper roll, the words on the paper roll would not disappear, and would not be discovered at all. Moreover, from Ning Hui Tang to here, there had always been maidservant Cai Er's followers. Then, there was only one person who could do this kind of thing, and even do it so flawlessly, on top of that.
Luo Shang turned her head to the side to look at Bin Er, only to see that Bin Er had kept his head down, while Yun Xiu and the others beside her were all puffing and staring at her, and Luo Shang knew everything.
So it turned out that she was simply too kind-hearted. She had actually become so stupid, falling into someone else's trap time and time again.
"Did you see it clearly? Luo Shang raised her eyebrows that were filled with hostility and his handsome face that was filled with hidden anger. He walked towards her step by step, using her folded fan to pull up her lower jaw. Her cold tone was like a seed that had been devoured from hell as he spoke next to her ear, "Are you deliberately making fun of this king?"
Luo Shang was speechless, what could she say now, no matter what she was saying, it was just opening up for her. She bit her lips hard and closed her eyes.
"Answer me!"
Although Leng Shaoyu's frigid and terrifying words were extremely plain, they would still cause shock to anyone who heard them.
Luo Shang felt the anger and dissatisfaction in his words, and turned her face to look at him. Looking into his eyes, she smiled bitterly, but only said a few words: "I have nothing to say."
The man withdrew the fan in his hand, turned around and walked towards the tall platform. He only ordered Ma Gu: "Inform Mo Yun, bring this king's message immediately to the capital.
"Prince …" Ma Gu looked at the man on the stage, not sure if the Prince was really going to act like this.
"Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, servant obeys." Hearing the man's cold words, Ma Gu did not delay any further and bowed, then turned to leave the hall.
She looked at the man on the stage, her eyes filled with ridicule and ridicule. She only said: "Leng Shaoyu, you selfish and cruel man, sooner or later, you will receive your retribution. Your end will definitely not be better than mine! "
