The cold, bone-piercing wind blew from the Phoenix Bedchamber into the long corridor. Ah Yu knelt on the ground as he cried bitterly.
Luo Shang who was seated at the side had a calm expression. She was not familiar with the affairs of the world, as though all the disputes in the world had nothing to do with her.
"Miss, I know that this will make things difficult for you, but, only King Jin, oh no, only you can save the general, Miss …" Ah Yu rested her hands on her knees, she knelt on the cold ground and begged.
"His Majesty has already accepted the advice of the right-leaning officials and has ordered for the general to be stationed at Hu Hai for thirty years. "Thirty years, how could the General and Madam endure such a barren land? Miss, are you really going to watch as the General and Madam separate themselves from each other?"
A pair of eyes as silent as water stared outside the window, without any fluctuations, so calm that not even flowing threads of light could be seen. Luo Shang watched as the flowers slowly fell to the ground. She did not say a word, even her breathing was shallow.
What was she going to do to save the Luo Family? For the sake of the Luo Family, hadn't she done enough? It was precisely because she was a member of the Luo Family that she was forced to bear a body full of scars from all the evil and debts, so what other ability did she have to do all this again?
She had done what she could, what she could not. What he had to bear, what he had to endure, had all been endured.
"Miss, servant begs you, this is the last time, the last time, ok …" Ah Yu crawled to Luo Shang's feet while kneeling. She held Luo Shang's ice-cold hands and begged helplessly.
Luo Shang slowly retracted her gaze as she closed her lips. Looking at the person in front of her, she spoke in an indifferent tone: "I'm powerless."
Ah Yu's body trembled as she squatted on the ground. The General and Madam were her parents that had been reborn, so even if she were to die, she had to protect the Luo Family. If the Madam and the General really went to the Hu Hai Land, she would only be able to live for at most three years, and would even need to suffer in this dangerous place.
"Her eyes are wide open, and she shook her head with all her might." No, miss, you must have a way. You will not leave the Luo Family alone. Go ask the King Jin, give him whatever he wants, and he will promise you that. "Wasn't it the same last time, it can, it can definitely …"
Ah Yu spoke in an incoherent manner, she couldn't care about how to organize her speech, she only hoped that Luo Shang would agree, and after a long while, she waited for the silent woman to speak.
She spoke slowly and powerlessly, as if every word was spoken after a long struggle in her heart. She said, "Tell me, what else can I give him?"
Her eyes were watery, and the light was dim. She was calm and collected, and her perky lips were pale and pained.
Facing this kind of Luo Shang, Ah Yu didn't know how to reply.
Luo Shang laughed lightly, her eyes trembling, as she said self-deprecatingly: "You want me to kneel down and beg him? Or do you want me to please him with my humble body? "
That man was someone she loved to the bones. When she was humbly kneeling at his feet, or when she was forced to please him, her heart was a thousand times more painful than it had ever been.
Because she loved him, she couldn't do it.
"Miss …" Ah Yu lowered his head. Luo Shang's appearance gave the Luo Family hope and also helped them live a peaceful life. It was just like what she said, she had already done everything she could and could not do.
Now, what more could he ask her to do?
"You can leave. I'm tired." She sat quietly and closed her eyes, but it was to hide the tears that were about to fall.
Ah Yu left the room. After thinking about it, she could only save the Luo Family and could only let this girl suffer once more. Ah Yu kneeled outside the door. As long as Luo Shang didn't agree, she would kneel there and not be able to get up.
Nightfall. All was quiet. Even the sound of the bugs had faded away. It must have been because the sorrow was too deep, that all living creatures had no choice but to retreat.
Ah Yu's dry lips were a little cracked, and her body was swaying, but she was still kneeling.
"What are you doing? Get up, don't force Miss anymore!" Zhuo Jin angrily grabbed her arm.
"If I don't force her, will she agree?"
Hearing that, Zhuo Jin became even angrier, and immediately released her hand. All you have in mind is the Luo Family, what about Miss? The Luo Family was pitiful, but wasn't the young miss pitiful? Don't you know how much she sacrificed for the Luo Family? "Why ask her to do this now?"
Tears streamed down from Ah Yu's eyes, and she slowly got up, looking at Zhuo Jin with that gaze, she felt a sense of guilt, causing Zhuo Jin to feel a lingering fear.
"My life, your life. All of them belonged to the General and Madam; they belonged to the Luo Family. Our duty is to protect the Luo Family, and her life was born for the Luo Family, and she died for the Luo Family. " Ah Yu cried.
Zhuo Jin was completely terrified by Ah Yu. She swallowed her saliva and her face turned pale white. "You're crazy!"
"I'm crazy. I just want to protect the Luo Family for the General and Madam. If both of them are gone, what's the point of me living?" Ah Yu laughed bitterly. Do you want to see the General and the Lady die? "
Zhuo Jin's heart froze for a moment, and she didn't know how to speak either. She was forced into a corner by Ah Yu's words, unable to find any words to refute.
Right at that moment, the door opened. Although there was only a small gap in the light from the inside, one could clearly see the expression of the person inside.
The elegant white dress was as cool as her entire person. Her skin was white and smooth, and her face was calm as she faced them. She said, "One last time."
Ah Yu laughed, and tears flowed down his face. Zhuo Jin looked gloomy, and looked at Luo Shang with eyes filled with pain.
Was it really the last time? Could she do it for the last time …?
The guards at the Phoenix Bedchamber did not allow them to take even a single step outside. Helpless, Luo Shang could only send them off with a letter.
In the Reflection Hall, Situ Jingyu was currently reading the letter that Ye Zhen had intercepted under the candlelight. How could she let them meet?
This grass that had already been completely burnt, he definitely could not let her revive.
Situ Jingyu frowned, she had already moved her father, he was always so reckless, but this time, she was afraid that there would be a lot of trouble. Situ Jingyu thought for a while, then gave some instructions to Ye Zhen before she sat down.
Three more squads of guards appeared outside of Phoenix Bedchamber. They claimed that they were under the orders of the Duke, and replied that the Prince didn't want to see her, that's all.
"Esteemed wangfei, you should go back first. Without your highness's order, I truly don't have the strength to let you out." The guards all shook their heads and sighed.
Luo Shang forced herself to nod her head, she asked: "Who is the person in charge of managing the princess' privileges in the palace?"
The guards thought for a while, but still answered honestly. It's the Prince's Wife Jing. "
Leng Shaoyu transferred the privilege of being a wangfei to Situ Jingyu, he treated her quite differently.
The night was dark, and the sense of urgency that came from the night enveloped a desolate aura that flowed with sorrow.
"Miss …" Ah Yu frowned.
The woman said indifferently, "Bring me my zither."
"Qin? Ah … "Yes …"
