At the same time, the woman within the Peace Lightness Hall was still painstakingly writing a scripture. Red lines of blood seeped out of her eyes, but she did not slack in the slightest. She didn't even know that she had actually written for an entire night, nor did she know when the hazy moonlight was gradually replaced by the blazing sun.
The bright sun shone brightly and had long since risen over the eaves of the houses, shining on the courtyard with its Peace Lightness Hall. A blinding light followed the open door and slipped into the ancestral hall. The sandalwood fragrance in front of the spirit tablet on the high platform's table was almost completely burnt out, leaving only some silver colored charcoal slowly falling into the Gu. The blue candle on the rack beside him was still emitting light, but its light had been extinguished by the light rays, making it seem dull and lonely.
Only when the light slowly tilted and shone brightly on half of the woman's face did she shift her focus away from the paper and turn her head towards the glaring light at the door. It had been so long, and the sun had already risen so high, yet she didn't notice at all.
Luo Shang moved her legs that were already numb and stiff, only then did she feel the soreness in her arms, her entire body did not have much energy, she was already exhausted, her energy was overused.
The fragrance of the sandalwood became a lot fainter as she turned her head to look at the Gu, then she put down the ink pen in her hand and placed the completed scripture neatly on the upper left corner of the table. After that, she got up, walked towards the support beneath the stage, and slowly blew out the flickering candle flame. Luo Shang thought that the sandalwood was almost burnt out, and went into the side room, wanting to light a few more candles.
After she entered, a figure quietly followed her through the tall doorway and entered the ancestral hall. She looked around for a long moment, as if searching for something, then her eyes focused on a table at the side, on a stack of papers. She tiptoed over to the table and was about to reach out to touch the papers when she heard a woman's question behind her.
"Who are you?" Luo Shang asked as she held a few incense sticks and furrowed her brows.
Seeing that the person in front of her had stopped what he was doing, he stretched out his hand and froze in midair. He didn't reply to her and instead deliberately avoided her gaze, keeping his face hidden.
Luo Shang walked towards her. She dodged again and again, but Luo Shang still managed to guess her identity.
"Bin Er?" Luo Shang blurted out her name, and asked with a questioning tone of voice. Because that day when she first met this servant girl, she was also wearing the same hairpin as today. Luo Shang had only briefly glanced at her, but she had clearly remembered it.
When the servant in front of her heard the name that came out of her mouth, she had no choice but to turn around. It was indeed her, Bin Er.
Bin Er superimposed her two hands on top of each other, tightly holding onto the corner of her sleeves as she bit her lips. Her legs were also constantly trembling, as if she was very afraid of him. However, it was no wonder, it was normal for someone to be scared after doing something bad, it could only mean that there was hidden kindness in her heart.
"Servant …" "Greetings, consort …" She lowered her head and said timidly.
"Why are you here?" Luo Shang looked at her, then looked at the scroll on the table, thinking: Just now, this girl wants to touch this scripture, could it be that she wants to...
"You're here …"
Without waiting for Luo Shang to finish her speculations, Bin Er, in front of him, shook her head vigorously and hurriedly said in a trembling voice, "No, it's not like what you think, wangfei.
She was wearing a clean white robe, giving off a clear and transparent feeling. There was a light purple ribbon tied around her shoulders, and if there was a breeze blowing at this moment, she would look like a fairy descending to the mortal world.
The ribbon on Luo Shang's body, revealed her exquisite and exquisite figure, alluring and enchanting. Her slender black hair that reached her waist was draped over her shoulders and her entire body exuded a fairy like aura, revealing a different kind of elegance. Although her exquisite jade face had a haggard look and was filled with exhaustion, it still couldn't hide her devastatingly beautiful appearance.
"Just thinking about what?" Luo Shang's indifferent eyes that were like water rippling under the pressure looked at Bin Er, and before she could say anything, the servant girl had revealed her identity.
The look in Luo Shang's eyes made it so that anyone who lied in front of her would not be able to escape from the trap of the truth. Following that, she simply knelt down, pressed her knees to the ground, and kneeled beside Luo Shang's feet. With tears in her eyes, she humbly prayed: "This servant deserves to die, I've let down my Royal Concubine's love, it's all this servant's fault, this servant harmed her, so this servant wants to accompany Princess Consort to bear this punishment together."
"I ask that you leave a servant, Princess, and let me compose the scripture with you." Bin Er looked at Luo Shang with a pair of pleading eyes.
Luo Shang's eyelashes slowly relaxed. Yesterday, she took the blame for this girl, but she didn't want to fall into their trap. Today, how could she believe what she had just said?
"I can't keep you, please go back."
"Why? Princess, are you still blaming me? Yun Xiu forced me to do this, if I did not, my father would not have the money to grab the medicine, and would have died on the sickbed. " Tears had already drenched her face and she looked up at Luo Shang with her eyes wide open.
"Do you still not believe it? "Your servant is speaking the truth. If you are lying, then I will die a horrible death." She knelt on her knees and raised her fingers in a vicious oath.
Luo Shang shook her already tired head, and extended her hand to support the servant that was lying on the ground. This Concubine isn't blaming you, nor is she not disbelieving. You are also doing this for your father, for the sake of your daughter, how can I be so ignorant? However, I still cannot let you stay. This place, is not a place that you should come to, if Nanny Ma and the others saw this, they would definitely not let you off. "
"When Nanny Ma comes, this servant will hide. This servant absolutely will not let her find out, why don't you leave this servant behind, Consort Wang? Otherwise, I won't forgive myself, if you don't leave this servant here, this servant will never be able to have a peaceful life …"
Bin Er said many things, and wished for nothing more than to break her lips. In the end, Luo Shang's heart softened, and seeing her like this, was truly pitiful. In the end, she was forced to do so.
He could only blame the palace for being too cold and heartless.
"Then you can stay." She had at least stayed awake for a while. Although she did not know how to write any scriptures, at the very least, if she was a capable assistant, it would save her a lot of time to grind and organize.
Currently, there were only two days left. She only had two days left.
