The wind gradually blew away the dark clouds and the white fog. The lightning and the heavy rain left a few puddles in the middle of the yard. Only the corrugated roof was left, and the green leaves that were dancing in the air would occasionally drip a few drops of water.

Above Zi Luo Tang, the sky gradually cleared up.

In the courtyard, there was a group of women kneeling on the ground. Their bodies were all drenched and their clothes had long since become heavy with water, but none of them wanted to leave.

Luo Shang's lips had turned white, cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and even her body was trembling uncontrollably;

"Princess …"

Xiao Zhu, who was kneeling beside her, tensed up when she saw Shen Changqing's personal servant walk over with a few servants.

Luo Shang and the rest also looked over.

The servant girl walked forward and coughed a few times, and said with reason: "Aunt said, Luo Shang is guilty, so she cannot be forgiven easily. If someone wants to be her companion, Aunt will not let them off easily either."

The Xiao Zhu gripped their sleeves as the Southern Garden dancers lowered their heads. Manager Shen had never liked being threatened by others. This time, the people from their entire Southern Garden begged for orders for Luo Shang.

"Did you all hear that clearly? Why are you still kneeling here? Do you really have to make Aunt angry? " Seeing the Southern Garden dancers not moving, Shen Changqing's lass reminded them.

"They were confused for a moment, and did not deliberately disobey Master manager's orders. They will leave immediately, and I hope that Miss can plead for forgiveness and make Aunt feel at ease." Luo Shang lifted her head and spoke with great difficulty, her wet hair still dripping with water, sticking closely to her back. Two strands of hair on his chest had already turned into Liu Er.

When her clothes got wet, they stuck even tighter to her body, immediately revealing her enchanting figure, but also constantly revealing her emaciated and frail appearance.

None of the Southern Garden dancers wanted to leave as they continued to kneel. They declared, "We are willing to bear the burden together with Princess Hua-Yang."

Luo Shang's words, as well as the message that was sent out by the young lady, were all illogical. They truly angered the young lady to the point that she wanted to stomp her feet. You … You guys are really stubborn. If you like to kneel so much, you can just kneel. "

When she turned around, she was startled by the sudden appearance of another wave of people.

The leader of the female dancers led a group of around twenty dancers to kneel down at the same time. "Eastgarden dancers request manager to forgive the imperial concubine."

"You all …" Before the girl could finish, another group of people walked over.

They also kneeled down and said, "North Garden Dance Lady manager, I beg of you to forgive my Royal Consort."

"Spinning Tingerer asks manager to forgive the Royal Consort."

"All singers of the Immortal Music Pavilion are begging Lord manager …"

"…"

The maid was stunned for a moment. The little girl beside her tugged her sleeve and asked in a low voice what to do now.

"How should I know what to do? The four of you stay here. The rest of you, follow me back to report to my aunt."

Xiao Zhu raised her head and looked at the people kneeling behind him. She had said so long ago, of course. Her consort was so kind, someone would see it sooner or later.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I, Luo Shang, will engrave your kindness onto my heart. From the moment this matter began, I will bear the responsibility myself. Please go back. " Luo Shang didn't want to have anyone accompany her and she had never thought that there would be so many people who would plead on her behalf.

Everyone kneeled down obediently in the courtyard. There were many people lining up all the way to the entrance of the courtyard; no one was willing to leave.

"In a few days, the Flower Soul Exhibition will arrive, Master manager will definitely consider the big situation and forgive me. Everyone, please do not be so cautious because of me, please go back." Luo Shang exhorted her once again with painstaking efforts.

"A voice came from the crowd." The wangfei is a kind person and everyone knows that we are sisters with the Southern Garden dancers, so naturally they would not ignore us. Princess, you mustn't say too much. "

It turned out that there were actually such loyal and loyal women in the rear courtyard. Since Luo Shang could not persuade them, she was afraid that it would hurt the heart of the kind, and thus did not reject them.

An hour had passed before Shen Changqing's personal servant returned. She was panting as he listened to her conversation with the few servants, it seemed like Miss Little Cai had come over and had a long chat with him. She had been waiting outside the door the entire time, and after Miss Little Cai had left, he immediately rushed over.

"It will be the Flower Soul Expo in a few days. Considering the seriousness of the matter, I will not pursue this matter anymore. I will also not pursue the crime of sitting together with you."

Hearing her say that, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the burden in their hearts had finally lifted, Xiao Zhu started crying, they had truly scared her, and thought that Manager Shen would definitely not let her off lightly.

"But …"

Everyone looked up in surprise. But what?

"But Luo Shang must move to the West Garden's side courtyard. If there is nothing else, she is not allowed to take even half a step out of the side courtyard."

The West Garden Courtyard, to put it bluntly, was a courtyard that was as abandoned as a woodshed. Not to mention living, even staying there for a short period of time would not be unbearable.

Xiao Zhu clenched her fist. She had wanted to argue a bit with the servant girl, but was stopped by Luo Shang. She shook her head and said: "Thank you Aunty."

"In that case, go back and pack your clothes, then move in." After the servant girl finished speaking, she glanced at her, flicked her sleeves, and left.

"Princess, we'll go and plead for you. We won't let you suffer any grievances by staying there." The Southern Garden dancers said solemnly.

Luo Shang immediately opened her mouth and said: "It's alright. Furthermore, I do not feel that I have been wronged.

Luo Shang laughed, and with the support of the Xiao Zhu, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

She knew that the reason Shen Changqing told her to move to another place was to give herself a way out of this predicament. Otherwise, how would she be able to intimidate others? Secondly, it was also to protect her life. After all, staying in the West Garden was not something Qing Ning would let go of.

aftercourt West Garden — —

"Sister Qing Ning, Lou... Luo Shang is back. " A dancer stood at the door watching for a long time, only to see someone walking over, she quickly told Qing Ning.

Qing Ning put down the teacup in her hand and stood up immediately. Her expression sank and she slammed the table, she did not expect Luo Shang to return here alive, was Manager Shen going to let her go so easily?

It was really strange, the Manager Shen had never allowed people to barge into her room to discuss, furthermore there were so many people requesting orders for Luo Shang, he always hated people threatening her, both of Luo Shang's were already standing, how could things be so peaceful and peaceful for her.

She also walked towards the door, and from afar, she saw Luo Shang walking over, and she really did return.

Leaning on the railing next to the door, Qing Ning walked up the steps as she raised her finger, and mockingly said, "Oh, I am so happy for you to be able to come back alive."

"How can you say that?" Xiao Zhu felt a burst of unhappiness in her heart. She originally wanted to retort at her words, but was stopped by Luo Shang.

Luo Shang did not speak, under the support of the Xiao Zhu, she walked straight into the room. She packed up her things, causing the folds of her clothes to wrinkle, and with a glance, she could tell that she had been deliberately kneaded. She searched through the chuang heads, the cabinets, the drawers, but she could not find the item.

"Bring it here."

Both of Qing Ning's hands were wrapped around her shoulders, her deep red lips pursed as she coldly laughed, and confidently said: "What?"

"Phoenix-Tail Pearl."

She had always regarded that phoenix flawless pearl hairpin as a very important thing that Nalan Rongya had given her on the day of her marriage. She had kept it in the box and even after searching through every nook and cranny she could find, she still could not find it.

Other than the lady in the room, other than Qing Ning, who else would take this item?

"What a joke. Why would you ask me for something you lost? I'm a young lady from the prefectural city of Zhi, not to mention a phoenix blemish bead, even if you gave me ten, I would still not be interested." Qing Ning spoke frankly, she did not look guilty at all.

"That batch of phoenix flawless pearls tribute from the Western Regions was passed down from the Nalan Clan, the National Duke of the dynasty. Please give it back to me. "

Let alone ten, even a single phoenix blemish bead was not something that a small county like her could boast about. Just the Nalan Clan's name alone was already priceless.

"I told you, it's not here." Qing Ning pushed Luo Shang away, but was pulled back by her arms.

"The Nalan Clan's Feng Shuang Pearl is shaped like a colorful pearl, there is only one Mei in this world. Since Miss Qing Ning has stated that it has nothing to do with you, can you allow me to inspect it?"

Qing Ning shook off Luo Shang's hand that was pulling her arm, and with a pleased smile in his eyes, she said: "Bright gold, you really can speak lies with your eyes open."

After she finished speaking, she did not forget to lift her face up and smile complacently.

The dancers beside her all lowered their heads and coughed lightly. After thinking for a while, Qing Ning finally realised that this damnable woman was trying to trick him.

On Luo Shang's nose, her beautiful eyes casually blinked.

"Give it back to me."

Qing Ning also knew that she had accidentally revealed the hairpin in her hand, causing her to be unable to continue acting. I took it, so what? "

As she spoke, she took a step forward and stared at Luo Shang. You want me to return it to you? "I can …"

She slowly took out a beautiful hairpin filled with shining golden beads from her sleeve and purposely waved it in front of Luo Shang with a sinister smile on her lips.

"Don't …"

After Luo Shang stopped her, the hairpin also fell onto the ground, producing a 'bang' sound.

"Aiyo, I'm really sorry, I couldn't hold it steady. What a pity, tsk tsk …" Qing Ning looked at Luo Shang's dazed look, at the moment when she bent down and picked up the golden hairpin that had been cut into two, her expression was filled with sorrow.

Luo Shang picked up the hairpin and placed it on her palm. She looked at it and held it tightly.

"Princess …" Xiao Zhu just stared at Qing Ning and called out to him. She only felt that it must be hard on Concubine Wangfei in her heart, but she only heard Luo Shang sigh lightly and say: "Let's go."

Xiao Zhu followed behind her and followed her out of the West Garden.

It's fine if it's broken, but even the heart isn't complete, let alone this hairpin …
