"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 …
But today, those beautiful times had been destroyed by their Luo Family. Lo 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 was not around, so quiet …
"Your Highness, please call me."
His heart was elsewhere, but he did not know when Nanny Ma 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, Nanny Ma 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: "Nanny Ma just wants to work for Your Highness."
"Nanny Ma knows that the matter regarding Miss Yue has always been a barrier in your heart, so I have the guts …"
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 to let her see with his own eyes how he personally buried his Luo Family in the sea of flames, let her see how he took revenge on her, and make her wish that she was dead.
Didn't Lo 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 Luo Family hadn't asked the Empress Dowager to marry Lo Ke, his Yue wouldn't have died either in order to ensure that his sister would successfully become a Princess Jin.
Ma Sanniang raised her head and looked confused. Then her eyes moved and she laughed sinisterly. Your 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.
Nanny Ma 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, Nanny Ma smiled serenely. This was the first time in her life that the Prince had not gone to sleep with her worried eyebrows, so she immediately left the Phoenix Stage.
The wind blew gently against the water caltrop, a sliver of clear and cold wind entering the Purple Gold Pavilion. It swept through the falling flowers in the courtyard, mixed with the smell of the earth, there was not the slightest hint of naturalness in them. Purple Gold Pavilion was an abandoned courtyard within the Duke Palaces. 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 Purple Gold Pavilion window was open, and ever since she married into the Duke Palaces, there was no moon at all during 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, tightly grasping the hem of his clothes, and said while crying: "Miss, I have let you down, actually 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 hundreds of people in the palace not only to let her know that her identity was not that of Miss Luo Family, but also that of the citizens of the defender nation. If that happened, not only would she die, but the hundreds of people in the Luo Family, including their families, would also be held responsible.
If not for the fact that the real Miss Luo Shang did not want to become the one to repay the debt and marry off to the Prince Jin, secretly running away to marry a commoner, the general would not have been so angry that he accidentally shot that man, causing her to die from depression, so the Luo Family would not be shamed and have nothing to do with it.
In order to gain the girl's trust and willingly save Luo Family, the Madam had to put in a lot of effort and put on a painstaking plan over and over again. When she had seen the unconscious her on the bed that day, she had thought that a disaster would befall Luo Family, and now, the depressed Madam had revealed a smile on her face for the first time. This girl's beauty, arrogance, charm, and temperament were all things that the Madam wanted. Most importantly, when she heard her husband say that even if she were to wake up, she wouldn't be able to recall the past, the Madam had already affirmed that this girl was sent by the heavens to save Luo Family.
Their wife was the precious daughter of the National Duke, a descendant of the famous Nalan Clan's seventh generation, Nalan Rongya.
Ah Yu bit her lips. She had already made her decision, but now she decided to endure it. 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, this 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 she married, but her Luo Family had not brought any news at all. It was likely that even if a letter from her family was sent to the Duke Palace, she would still not 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 Luo Family.
Just as Luo Shang was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. Ah Yu opened it and a servant walked in with a hot Medicine Bowl.
The servant girl placed the bowl on the table, picked up the handkerchief, and waved it at the tip of her nose. She put on a disdainful expression and said, "Esteemed wangfei, this is the king's order for you to …"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Luo Shang had already stood up and walked over. She picked up the Medicine Bowl on the table, elegantly lifted her sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.
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 unrestrainedly, wiped the medicinal droplets on the side of her lips, and arrogantly raised her misty eyes.
The servant girl sneered, and picked up the Medicine Bowl on the table, and coughed lightly: "Then this servant will not disturb your rest anymore. Oh ~ That's right, with this servant's memory, Aunt Nanny Ma had just instructed me to tell my wife to take care of the clothes in the courtyard as soon as possible. It's getting late, if tomorrow's pile of dirty clothes is still here, I'm afraid it will make my master unhappy. "Your servant takes her leave ~"
"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 servant girl smiled and swaggered out with the handkerchief in her hand.
"The servants in the Prince Jin Mansion are too arrogant. Every single one of them only know how to add insult to injury." Ah Yu was so angry that her face was flushed, it was fine for Prince Jin to torture her young miss like this, but Ma Sanniang was itching to beat them to death. Even the servants were angrily staring at her, 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.
