In the side room of the Phoenix-resting Chamber, the faint smell of alcohol had already dissipated. The woman on the bed struggled a few times, and her hands could not help but attach to her forehead.
Luo Shang slowly opened her hazy eyes, the light shining through the window into the room, at first glance it was dazzling, she rubbed her eyes and sat up.
What was going on? Why was his head so heavy? It was as if something had ruthlessly hit him from behind. He rubbed his temples and shook his head.
Ah Yu brought a basin of water from the outside and stepped over the low threshold. Seeing that Luo Shang was sitting up, she immediately put down the pot and washed the handkerchief clean, then walked over to her and handed it over.
"Miss has awoken. This servant will help you wash it. I've already ordered some people to prepare the Spirit-Sobering Soup. You should drink it while it's still hot to avoid a headache." Ah Yu bent down and put away the shoes on the ground.
Listening to Ah Yu's confused words, what kind of sobering soup was that? She couldn't remember what had happened last night. She only knew that yesterday was his wedding with Situ Jingyu, and last night should have been their wedding night.
Thinking to here, Luo Shang sucked in a breath of cold air, and pain faintly surfaced on her face as she talked to herself. He finally got her wish. "
Seeing her gloomy expression, Ah Yu knew what she was thinking, and said: "Miss, last night, Prince did not get married to Princess Jing."
"No?" Luo Shang panicked, with bewilderment in her eyes, she asked: "Then, where did he go?"
~ Could it be another room in the side courtyard that worships Bai Yuee's memorial tablet?
Forget it, why should she care about such irrelevant things? Clutching the wet handkerchief in her hand, Luo Shang moved it to the side of the bed. Just as her smooth toes were touching the shoes on the ground, she heard Ah Yu speaking from the side. Prince Jin was here with you last night. "
Here? Luo Shang raised her head, looking somewhat incredulous.
Ah Yu sighed, and reminded her. Miss, you don't remember because you were drunk last night. Last night, when Prince Jin carried you back, you no longer had the chance to live. He stayed in your room for a long time and didn't go to Princess Jing's place.
Luo Shang pondered over her words and carefully thought back. Yesterday, Leng Shaoyu chased her out of the great hall, and coincidentally met Leng Mufei. After that, he forcefully brought her to the fireworks area, saying that he would only need to drink three cups of wine before letting her go. Then something happened that she couldn't remember at all.
Even if she couldn't remember, she had gone to the land of fireworks with another man. He would definitely be furious and wouldn't let this matter rest.
"Miss, drink this first." Ah Yu handed the just brewed sobering wine over to her.
At the same time …
Beneath the bridge of the Phoenix-resting Chamber, Situ Jingyu was dressed in peaceful and friendly attire, not in the slightest bit of demure and petting. She wore a big smile on her face, and just as she was crossing the bridge, two maids stepped in front of her.
"This servant greets Princess Jing." After the servant bowed, she then glanced at the box in Ye Zhen's hands and said: "Princess Jing thinks that just because of this, she will believe you?"
Situ Jingyu naturally knew what she meant. How could a lowly servant girl have the guts to question her? However, when she first entered the estate, she was still unable to make enemies. She could only smile faintly and speak. "I and wangfei are like sisters, so where did sisters come from? Do you believe what I say?"
Situ Jingyu laughed, and walked past the servant. However, he heard her say from behind: "Princess Jing, may I speak with you? This servant has a plan that I wish to offer to you."
The servant girl said as she walked a few steps towards her and whispered. You'll be interested. Because it's the only way to move her. "
Situ Jingyu said as the smile on her face completely dissipated, her eyes had a strange glint of light, she turned and asked. "What's your name?"
"The maid replied." Servant, Yun Xiu. "
In the courtyard of the Phoenix-resting Chamber side room, the sunlight was leisurely shining on the green platform, reflecting off a bright light that was carved on the tree trunk. Luo Shang sat on the stone chair, and gently flipped through the book, Legend of Forgotten Worry, that she did not forget in her heart.
Ah Yu walked over and whispered in her ear: "Miss, Princess Jing is here."
Returning to her expression, she closed the book in her hands and gently placed it on the table. Situ Jingyu had already entered the courtyard and was walking in her direction.
In the end, she was still a princess of Han King Palace, and her appearance and form weren't any inferior to an ordinary person's.
As Situ Jingyu walked closer, Luo Shang also stood up.
"Elder sister." Situ Jingyu cordially called out to him, and then looked towards Ye Zhen who was behind him.
Ye Zhen's mind was clear, after bowing respectfully, she opened the box towards Luo Shang, and in it was an exquisite white lotus ruyi, its entire body was like a snow peak that was refined with cold, transparent spirit stones, it was smooth and shiny, and at one glance one could tell that this ruyi scepter was not ordinary.
"It's already hard to get the ruyi scepter from the South Sea, so why would it be so lustrous? I accept your good intentions, and take it back." Luo Shang smiled faintly.
Seeing that she was refusing him, Situ Jingyu quickly pulled her hand and said, "If we sisters say something like that, wouldn't it be as foreign as seeing you? "Only this ruyi scepter can match up to you."
Her words were tactful, and if that was the case, Luo Shang would not be able to speak. With a forced smile, she waved her sleeves indicating for Situ Jingyu to sit, then pulled up her sleeves and poured half a cup of tea to pass to her. and said: "I will not make things difficult for you, and will not contend with you for his favor. You can be at ease, take the things back. "
She pursed her eyelashes and looked at him with indifferent eyes.
Ye Zhen looked at Situ Jingyu, and when she heard what Luo Shang had to say, she did not know if she should take back the ruyi. Seeing Situ Jingyu nod towards her, Ye Zhen closed the box and kept the ruyi.
"My younger sister just married into the prince's mansion, and the only people she knows are the prince and my elder sister. I learned early in the morning that my sister is well-informed, clever and virtuous, so I thought I'd see you one day. Now, it's finally not day and night. " Situ Jingyu laughed.
Ah Yu looked at Luo Shang, then saluted Situ Jingyu and said: "Miss, Princess Jing. This servant still has matters to take care of, so this servant will take my leave first. "
Seeing that, Ye Zhen also followed Ah Yu.
Situ Jingyu wanted to talk to Luo Shang alone, as for what the topic was, she didn't want to know.
"Let's go," she said after the two maidservants had left. Yesterday's matter was all his sister's fault, which was why his Royal Highness had unrestrainedly blamed his sister. Elder sister, don't blame the Prince. If you have to blame anyone, you can only blame your sister for being careless and let you suffer grievances. " Situ Jingyu had a face full of remorse and guilt.
Luo Shang laughed, and her eyes withered away like an epiphyllum flower, showing an unspeakable sorrow.
No explanation?
He did not say anything, did not ask for any reason, did not give her any chance to explain himself, and chased her out of the lobby.
She should blame him, but it was useless.
"I won't blame him, and I won't blame you."
No matter how much grievances there were, what should have happened would happen. What should be painful would still be painful. She only wished that she could live her life in peace, neither fighting nor snatching, neither drifting nor impatient, and never ask again.
Situ Jingyu held Luo Shang's hand. Actually, the prince regretted chasing his elder sister away yesterday. Otherwise, the wedding night would not be because of a word of comfort from his sister, who rushed back to the house to pick up his sister. In her heart, Prince still cares about her sister. "
"Your consolation?" Luo Shang slightly frowned.
"My sister originally wanted to send someone to apologize to my sister, but she didn't want my sister to fall drunk in the Full Moon Restaurant, so she was very worried. That was why she persuaded the prince to bring my sister back. I acted on my own, Big Sister won't blame Jingyu, right? "
Her words made Luo Shang feel a chill in her heart. After all, she was the one who was comforting him, which was why he was willing to seek her out.
After swallowing the bitter water, Luo Shang shook her head and said with great difficulty. "No."
"After hearing what my sister said, I felt relieved. Oh … Actually, little sister has one thing she doesn't understand, but doesn't know if she should ask. " Situ Jingyu tried to test the waters.
"Go ahead."
"Situ Jingyu opened his mouth and spoke with a low profile as she obtained her consent. Does big sister know a girl called Yue? "
Hearing that, Luo Shang frowned.
In the end, this name still became an unerasable scar in her heart. No matter how deeply she hid it, it was still a bit of a grudge. It was all her fault for loving him too much, which was why she felt such pain.
At this moment, she didn't know how to respond. Luo Shang pursed her lips and nodded.
"You know him? Like I said, since the prince and my sister love each other so much, he definitely won't hide anything from me. The night I first came to the palace, the Prince called me by that name. He was holding my hair, his eyes filled with emotion, but he still called me by that strange name. I thought that it was elder sister, but when I found out that it wasn't you, younger sister was also very surprised. She smiled.
Luo Shang remained silent, she did not know what to say, but stared at the teacup with indifferent eyes, as though she was grieving for nothing.
Situ Jingyu acted as if she did not know anything and continued to joke, "The prince was just whispering drunk words in my sister's ears that day. He said that he wanted his sister to stay by his side and become his Yue. "Elder sister, you said that the prince's drunken speech was so funny, hehe …" She smiled coquettishly.
"Yes …" "It's funny." Luo Shang smiled, flowing light flashing across her eyes, she could not help but laugh.
His Yue.
A servant girl walked in from outside the courtyard and interrupted their conversation. Princess, Princess Jing. The breakfast is ready, and the prince is waiting for you to come. "
"Alright, sorry for troubling you. I'll go with my sister." Situ Jingyu laughed, then went forward to help Luo Shang.
