"Princess, you … This servant will go call Officer Chu over right now. " Little Cai put down the fan in her hand, and went over to help Luo Shang up, her eyes filled with worry.
Seeing that their prince had left in a rage, she, who was guarding the door, discovered that something was wrong. She didn't dare to speak, so she could only come in and take a look as soon as possible.
Luo Shang stood up and she gently took away the hand Little Cai was holding her with. Her calm face was not like before, with not a single tear on it.
"No, thank you." She looked at the fragments on the ground and saw that the man's merciless anger was still lingering in the air.
Seeing Luo Shang stubbornly walking out, Little Cai actually also helplessly lowered his head. It was such an indifferent Duke, and it was such an arrogant wangfei.
Little Cai did not stop her. After all, everyone knew that Officer Chu's medical skills did not surpass that of the Godly Doctor's concubine.
"She instructed her servant." "You two, clean this place up."
The weather was sultry and stuffy, and a scorching fireball hung above people's heads, burning the ground. The nine golden crows from the ancient times once again appeared as if they were reality.
This kind of weather was normal, yet it gave people a sense of unhappiness.
From the moment she came out of the Emerald Martial Palace, Luo Shang had already heard the complaints of the servants along the way. It was unknown whether it was due to his lackeys' love or some other reason, that lackeys had left half the bottle of wine just now. Otherwise, she might not even be able to speak due to the pain in her throat.
The thick and tall walls covered the bushes at the side, creating a shadow. When there was no wind, Sasha's voice would occasionally come from the bushes.
The guards who were patrolling the area probably heard the noise and gripped the hilt of their swords tightly. Their faces were livid with fear of alerting the enemy as they cautiously stepped forward.
Although they were separated by a long distance, they stood at different angles. With a single glance, Luo Shang saw a tattered piece of cloth sticking out from under the bushes, and the woman who strangely escaped this morning suddenly flashed before her eyes.
Seeing that the guards were getting closer, Luo Shang picked up the stones on the ground and secretly threw them to the side.
"Who?"
The guards heard a sound coming from the bushes at the side. They stopped for a moment and their eyes were filled with panic. They turned around in a hurry.
Only when they saw the few birds that flew out from within did they finally heave a long sigh of relief. Their sleeves wiped off the droplets of sweat on their foreheads.
"You scared me to death."
"A few birds on a sunny day can frighten you like this. "Haha …"
"What you said just now didn't make you any better."
"…"
The guards withdrew their hands, turned around, and continued to patrol the area.
After they left, Luo Shang started walking towards the bushes. The moment she stepped into the grass, she screamed.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me, I won't dare to do it anymore, don't take me to the government …"
She really was the woman she saw in the morning. She kept shaking her head with her head down, as if she was very scared.
Luo Shang reached out his hand to touch her, but she seemed to be very resistant to it. She hurriedly retreated, and after a few moves, she fell again.
"Don't be afraid, the bad guys have already left. I won't hurt you." Luo Shang's voice was very soft, like water in a sponge.
The woman was curled up in a heap of dirt, her hair matted with dead leaves, and black bugs flying around her hair.
Luo Shang looked at her leg, fresh blood seeping through her skirt and knees. She should have been injured by someone, those people truly did not hold back.
"Your leg is injured?"
"Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me." The woman was still as resistant to Luo Shang touching her as she was before. She buried her head very deeply, and it was unknown if it was out of fear that she was unwilling to raise her head from start to end, but it also seemed like she was avoiding something.
She quickly picked up the dirty half of the steamed bun beside her and held it in her hands as she turned around with great difficulty.
"Bin Er? Is that you? "
Luo Shang opened her eyes wide and looked at the pitiful weak looking figure.
At first, when he heard her voice, he was already very familiar with her. Adding her previous series of reactions, Luo Shang instinctively thought of the girl called Bin Er, who also framed her time and time again.
The woman did not turn her head, nor did she answer her. Her back was facing Luo Shang, and she tightly bit her dirty lips.
Luo Shang originally wanted to stop her, but seeing that the guards had returned, without much time to think, she immediately rushed over and pulled her arm, and the two of them fell onto the wetland together.
The lady struggled for a bit, but Luo Shang indicated for her to be quiet.
"Shh!" They're outside. "
Only when she heard the sound of footsteps did Luo Shang let go of her hand. She extended her hand and slowly lifted the woman's hair, her disheveled hair was somewhat dry and stiff, and her face had layers of black circles outlining her frail bones. The corners of her eyes were filled with wrinkles, and her nose and both sides of her face were covered with dried yellow mud.
It really was her, it really was Bin Er, but why was she here, and why had she become like this?
Luo Shang's eyes immediately became moist, and her trembling hands touched the woman who was covered in wounds.
"Don't touch me, don't touch me. I'm so dirty, I'm not worth your pity, not worth your pity." Bin Er cried. If the one thing she regretted the most in her life was believing Yun Xiu in the beginning, then it was to frame the person in front of her again and again.
In the next moment, a warm embrace shocked Bin Er.
Bin Er struggled, but was never able to overcome Luo Shang's warmth. She admitted that she really needed Luo Shang's forgiveness, but she didn't have the courage to ask for his forgiveness. She could only choose to avoid him again and again.
"I do not pity you, and I do not pity you in any way. It's because I feel sorry for you. "
Luo Shang softly said while looking at her, her hand caressing Bin Er's cheek. That face of her was no longer the same face from before, only skin and bones remained.
As Bin Er sobbed, she looked at Luo Shang and finally could no longer hold back her emotions and threw herself onto her shoulder and cried bitterly. Esteemed wangfei, I was wrong, I am sorry, I am sorry, Bin Er is wrong. "
"Can you forgive me? Can you forgive me …" Bin Er looked at Luo Shang, tightly holding her hand and begging.
Luo Shang let out a light sigh, as her soft and tender hands rested on the back of her rough hands. I never blamed you. "
"Really?" Bin Er opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then lowered her head. How could it be, how could you not blame me? I was the one who tricked you into falling into Yun Xiu's trap and got you punished by the Duke, and it was also me who brought you into the backyard. How could you never blame me? "
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Bin Er looked at Luo Shang with her red and swollen eyes, her eyes were bloodshot, her nerves were too tight, and she did not have any rest for a long time, hence she looked to be in a sorry state.
"She pursed her lips and spoke with great difficulty." "The wangfei didn't lie to me …"
"Aren't you following Yun Xiu? And why are we here? " Luo Shang recalled that back then when Bin Er framed her, she was merely ordered by Yun Xiu. When she was forced to restrict her legs to Peace Lightness Hall and then went to the backyard, Bin Er was still following Yun Xiu.
Hearing her asking him about this, Bin Er seemed to be in pain and she also hated her.
"Father, he …" Father left. " Bin Er covered her face with her hands, close to bursting into tears.
"Yun Xiu said that as long as I do as she says, she would find someone to treat my father's illness. After that, when I refused, she forced me to do as she said, that if I didn't do as she said, she would kill my father and let us die a horrible death."
Bin Er grabbed Luo Shang's hand, her entire body shivering. Under such a hot weather, her body was cold. I had no choice but to frame you. But, but Yun Xiu not only failed to cure my father, she even found a quack doctor, opened the wrong prescription, and wanted to silence me. I had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and live till now. "
Luo Shang looked at her. No wonder, no wonder she looked so crazy, it was only to protect his life, so she had lived till now.
"But why did you come here?" After all, the Yue Pavilion was different from another place. Leng Shaoyu would definitely not allow a lunatic to casually enter here.
"It's big sister Little Cai …" When Bin Er thought back to what happened that day, she could not help but feel fear.
"Miss Little Cai?"
Bin Er nodded. "Princess, from the moment you entered the backyard, Lord Mo had already captured me and Yun Xiu. Yun Xiu framed everything on me and my master knew that it was all Yun Xiu and I who plotted against you. We shall be handed over to Nanny Ma to deal with."
"You know this, Nanny Ma would always keep a side to Yun Xiu, so she would naturally not kill her. But I'm different. When I passed out, they threw me into a dry well. It was I who bit off the rope and climbed up, little by little, along the rope. Lady Little Cai secretly brought me into the Yue Pavilion. "When I heard that you had returned, I wanted to take a look at you from afar. However, they found out."
Although she understood Bin Er's words, Luo Shang's body was still stiff, and she slowly retracted her hand.
After a long while, she raised her head and looked at Bin Er. Her voice was somewhat sad and gentle.
"So, he already knew that I was wrongly accused."
As if she was laughing at herself, she chuckled softly. He felt wronged. Other than feeling wronged, it was still a matter of being wronged. This feeling was indescribable.
Since he knew that he was wrongly accused, he had acted out a good show with the maidservants to make her suffer greatly after seeing her make a fool of herself.
What divorce papers, what slave girl, what fire, what poison.
It was all his doing. He had everything under control.
Looking at Luo Shang's pale face, Bin Er shook her body. Princess, what's wrong with you? Who is he? "
Luo Shang gently wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and laughed. "No problem, let's go."
With that, she pulled Bin Er's hand and stood up, but Bin Er did not move.
"What's wrong? Don't be afraid, follow me. I won't let you get hurt again. "
Bin Er looked at her but still did not move.
"No, I can't go with the princess."
Suddenly, she flung Luo Shang's hands off, turned around, gritted her teeth, and dragged her injured leg away. With a turn, she entered the forest, afraid that Luo Shang would catch up.
