After returning to purple gold for a long time, Situ Jingyu gave her all to everyone in the manor. No one was allowed to take a single step into the Purple Gold Pavilion, and anyone who found any form of relief or came into contact with Purple Gold Pavilion, no matter who it was, would all die. She wanted to trap Luo Shang to death.
Fortunately, there were some medicines that the servants sent over in private a few days ago. Luo Shang's legs had improved greatly, she was standing in the open ground in the courtyard, wrapped up in the wind, quietly looking at the vast area where no life existed.
In the past, she had planted many cherry blossom seeds here, and they had already sprouted. But now, there was nothing left. The barren and empty ground made people feel empty after looking at it.
When leaving the Purple Gold Pavilion, Luo Shang had never thought she would ever return here again. To be more precise, from the moment the man gave her hope, she had never imagined that she would be this disappointed.
She stood there for a long time, from the red half of the setting sun to the cool night wind.
Ah Yu came out of the house with a basin of dirty water. Seeing the woman standing there in a daze, she walked over.
Luo Shang's nose was very high, and her bones revealed an unparalleled purity. The tip of her eyebrows was carved into her face as if she had refined it. No matter when it was, her indifferent eyes were like water, beautiful yet haughty and elegant. She silently watched the emptiness.
The long skirt at her waist was tied all the way down to her armpits, and the white, curvy train rolled and wrapped around her body, forming an arc and dragging on the ground. Her long hair naturally scattered and swayed behind her beautiful body, without any extravagant adornments, other than elegance, there was nothing else.
Ah Yu raised his head and looked at the night sky which was gradually turning black, and said: "Miss, the sky is getting cold, you have been standing here for a while, come in."
Luo Shang took in a light breath of cool air, her clear eyes like the moon at night. It had been more than ten days. He who was far away in the Northern Region, when would he return?
She hated him, she really hated him.
She resented why he wanted her to be his substitute, why he had to torture her time and time again, why he had to be so cruel to her, why he had made her live such a miserable life.
She didn't regret it countless times. Why did he want to save this man back then? Why was she so closely intertwined with him? Why was he so entangled with him? Didn't they want him to die? Moreover, Leng Shaoyu had also said that if he died, she would be free.
But from the moment he donned the battle robe and left the capital, Luo Shang had been worried about her husband who was thousands of miles away.
If she was not so stubborn back then, it would be as Leng Shaoyu had said. So what if she was a substitute? If she didn't care so much, would he be able to give her his love for Bai Yuee one day?
There would not be so much love and hate, and her heart would not be filled with pain again and again.
"Miss." Seeing that she did not speak, Ah Yu frowned and reminded her.
Luo Shang slowly withdrew her gaze, not wanting to let others read her thoughts. She softly said, "I remember telling you before to collect the forget-me-not seed, is it still there? If there's anything else, plant it all over the place. "
Ah Yu knew that it had always been a taboo in Luo Shang's heart. Why, why did she suddenly want to plant those flowers? Did she not mind?
Ah Yu tried asking: "Don't forget me, it's..."
"I know." Without waiting for Ah Yu to finish speaking, Luo Shang cut her off with a faint smile.
The crystal clear eyes of a woman were like the most beautiful pearls in the world. She said, "It's okay, I like that flower too. "Go ahead, I'll be back in a moment."
Ah Yu left after saying a few more nagging words.
Luo Shang had thought about it, as long as Leng Shaoyu could return safely, she would no longer have to worry about his love for a dead person in his heart.
She turned around, and a cloud of smoke rose in the wind, sharp and pungent. Was there a fire somewhere? Luo Shang frowned, staring at the high walls of Purple Gold Pavilion, and the sky filled with black smoke that shot straight into the night sky.
The round, cold moon was gradually covered by the black clouds. Half of it was blood-red, and had a bizarre lunar appearance, exuding a cold and eerie aura.
This direction was the location of the Phoenix-resting Chamber. Luo Shang thought back carefully. No, it should be the backyard of Phoenix Nest, the backyard ….
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and clenched her fists tightly. She was extremely anxious and she did not care about the injuries on her legs as she hastily ran in that direction.
It was the spirit hall used to honor Bai Yuee's memorial tablet, such a secluded place, how could there be a sudden fire. However, Luo Shang had no time to care about anything else, she only thought that Bai Yuee's memorial tablet could not be burned to ashes, definitely not.
Otherwise, that man would never forgive himself and would live his entire life in debt to Bai Yuee.
In the long corridor, his white clothes were dragging the ground as he ran in the direction of the raging fire.
When Luo Shang arrived, the signboard on top of the room had already tilted to the side, as if it was about to break down very quickly. The intensity of the fire was extremely large, and plumes of green smoke drifted out from the gaps between the windows, causing Luo Shang's mind to go blank. She didn't even think about why the burning flames didn't attract the attention of the people in the manor, and why it had been so long, and why there wasn't anyone here.
She grabbed the long skirt that fell to the ground and ran inside. In the raging flames, he covered his mouth with his sleeve as he searched for the tombstone.
Bai Zhang burned from the bottom all the way to the top. The screen was inserted horizontally into the side of the window, and the wine on the table was scattered all over the ground, adding to the disadvantage.
Finally, at the corner of the table, she saw the gravestone lying horizontally beside her in the pitch black darkness. It was so smelly that it almost smothered the nose, Luo Shang anxiously carried the tablet up, and a breaking sound came out from the fire.
She looked at the broken piece falling at her feet. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up the other half of the broken piece.
That time in the backyard, when the Xiao Zhu said that Leng Shaoyu had risked his life to save her, could he really not have risked his life for her?
The injury on her leg had not completely healed, and this torture was even more torturous. Every few steps, she felt her lower limbs were powerless, and she was barely able to walk out of the sea of fire.
Everyone stood by the sides of the room, waiting for the command of the lady in the center. Their faces were filled with worry and helplessness.
Seeing Situ Jingyu's nod of her head, the group of servants behind them carried buckets of water to save the fire.
Luo Shang coughed twice as she frowned slightly.
"Taking advantage of the prince's absence, big sister actually did such a thing and set fire to the spirit hall. If you knew, how disappointed would you be?" Situ Jingyu pretended to be righteous and spoke with conviction.
From the looks of it, she had come prepared just to set up this flawless trap. Furthermore, she had calculated that Luo Shang would definitely cooperate with her plan.
On her silent face, there was a slight rise and fall. Luo Shang did not want to explain, because everything she said was already useless, so she calmly opened her mouth. You know better than I whether or not I did it. "
In order to get rid of her, Situ Jingyu was really going all out.
"Situ Jingyu walked forward slowly and stood in front of Luo Shang with a cold smile. Why did the mourning hall suddenly catch fire, and why were you the first to appear here? Could it be that everyone in the mansion was blind? She wanted to destroy the mourning hall while the prince was away. What, she didn't dare to accept the honor? This is not the style that a family of generals should have. "
Step by step, she forced the words out of's mouth, and in the next moment, Situ Jingyu directly pulled Luo Shang's wrist away.
The spirit tablet dropped to the ground. In front of everyone, the tombstone with two sections of it rolled down the stairs.
Luo Shang bent down to pick it up, but before her hand could touch the broken piece, Situ Jingyu had already given the order to the servant.
"The wangfei has the audacity to destroy the prince's most beloved item, so you can lock her up in the dungeon. This wangfei will interrogate her and give the prince an explanation." The corners of her mouth curled up.
"Luo Shang, who was forcefully held back by a servant, suddenly laughed lightly. If you want to remove the obstruction, you only need to move your fingers. Why do you need to do this to hurt his heart? "
Bai Yuee's memorial tablet had already been broken, so it could not be repaired. If Leng Shaoyu knew about this, he would be even more guilty and would also feel heartache.
Situ Jingyu's entire body released a sinister and ruthless aura, she slowly said in front of Luo Shang: "The person who harmed his heart is not me, but you. You did all this. "
She grit her teeth and laughed, loudly shouting, "Take him away!"
