Handsome Prince, Come to my Embrace - C204
Situ Jingyu still obediently moved back her Meditation Hall in the end. From that day on, the man never came back, even when she was staying at Feng Xi’s place, she never saw him. According to the servants, there were many people from the left side of the imperial court recently, so he probably had to put in a lot of effort to not return home.
However, Luo Shang did not care about all these.
In the banana garden, the cold wind from last night had broken a dozen or so bananas. It was unknown whether or not the sky had changed, but in the past few days, the palace was exceptionally cold.
On one of the roads, a beautiful woman with the support of a servant girl was slowly walking over. She had a charming posture, one hand was placed above her head, and the other hand was placed lightly on the maid’s palm. Her wide sleeves were loose and loose, and embroidered with patterns of dancing phoenixes and dancing dragons.
Her black hair was combed into a bun, and she wore an ancient jade hairpin with a phoenix head. It was made of soft material, and her long skirt covered the ground.
“Princess, I think …” Ye Zhen supported the lady and chatted as they walked past a corner. Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared and bumped into him.
Situ Jingyu’s body fell to the ground and just happened to cut through the exquisite silk clothing, her leg had a long slit, the lady’s sinister half of her face, her originally beautiful eyebrows had now become extremely domineering.
“Princess.” Ye Zhen and a few other girls hurried over to help her up, but when they heard Situ Jingyu looking at the person who was about to run, he immediately said: “Capture her.”
Several servants quickly pressed him down, forcing her to kneel on the ground.
After Ye Zhen helped Situ Jingyu up, she immediately walked towards the servant who was kneeling on the ground and swung his hand, slapping her loudly in the face. A bit of pain was even remaining in her heart.
“You actually dared to run after bumping into the Princess Jing. I think you must be tired of living.” Ye Zhen tugged onto the servant’s ear, gritted his teeth, and fiercely glared at her.
It could also be said that he agreed with that sentence, he would be like a slave whenever there was a lord.
“…” The person kneeling on the ground allowed Ye Zhen to hold onto her ears which were already red and swollen purple. She did not make a sound nor beg for forgiveness.
Situ Jingyu stared at her, and the moment Ye Zhen grabbed onto her hair, she accidentally saw the girl’s appearance, as though she had seen her somewhere before, but it was not very familiar.
Situ Jingyu walked over and charmingly raised her fingers. Ye Zhen then let go of the little girl and returned back to the woman’s side.
“I recognize you.” Situ Jingyu raised the corner of her vicious lips, and bent down as if she was ridiculing her. She lifted the servant’s face with his slender nails, and his slender fingers nearly pierced into the skin on her neck.
Hearing her words, the maid lowered her head even more.
Situ Jingyu sneered, let go of her hand and straightened her body, as she said coldly: “This concubine has heard that the Duke had sent Little Cai to the backyard to receive a young lady to serve her, you’re the one.”
Xiao Zhu did not answer, her head still hanging low. She did not dare to look at Situ Jingyu’s eyes that were as vicious as a jackal, a tiger, or a leopard.
“What’s your name?”
Seeing that the Xiao Zhu did not reply, Ye Zhen casually scolded. How dare she not answer when she was asking you a question? Could it be that Royal Concubine Luo didn’t teach you what to do and what to say when you see someone? ” After she finished speaking, she turned to Situ Jingyu and spoke out, “Princess, based on this servant’s words and actions, this lass must have someone directing her. Otherwise, how would a lowly lowly slave dare to act so boldly?”
Knowing the meaning behind Ye Zhen’s words, she believed that she was trying to use this weakness to deal with the matter of the princess consort. Thus, Xiao Zhu opened her mouth and begged, “No, no, Princess Jing, I have no relationship with the princess, I was reckless. I deserve to die, I beg the Princess Jing to spare my life.”
She did not know what to do, but the corners of Xiao Zhu’s eyes were already flowing with tears. Her nature was not as bold as Zhuo Jin, and not as easygoing as Ah Yu, nor was she a talented and intelligent lady.
“Look, her servant is really sincere.” Situ Jingyu coldly snorted.
Ye Zhen didn’t forget to mock her at the side. No wonder a foolish woman like Zhuo Jin would die such a miserable death. ”
Zhuo Jin…
Xiao Zhu pursed her pale lips, the hand on the ground grabbing a handful of sand. With tears of fear in her eyes, and a hidden bitterness, she raised her head to look at the person in front of her.
She had long heard of the tragic death of Lady Zhuo Jin, and knew that the wangfei still harbored some regret in her heart. How could these people stand here and say such heartless, disgraceful words?
Ye Zhen noticed the resentment in her eyes and sneered. “Oh, what kind of eyes are those? What, a lowly servant still dares to have any feelings?”
The Xiao Zhu grabbed onto Scattered Sand tighter and tighter as she mouthed those words with her lips. She said, “You’re also a servant.”
Hearing that, Ye Zhen’s brows knitted, her frown couldn’t go any deeper, her face immediately went white, and he glared at her. “You …”
This girl was sick of living. To dare talk to her in such a manner, as long as Situ Jingyu gave her order, he wanted to see if she would not skin this woman alive.
“Princess …” Ye Zhen looked at Situ Jingyu, only to hear the woman say casually: “Deal with him as you wish.”
Hearing these words, Ye Zhen could not suppress the joy in her heart, she immediately nodded, then proudly stood in front of Xiao Zhu, arrogantly looking at her.
In the long corridor of the banana garden, most of the servants who passed by secretly took a few glances, tucked their sleeves, and hurriedly walked past, not daring to stay any longer.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the fragrant scent in the pavilion had long since dispersed. The woman on the ground was shivering while half-bending over. She tightly clutched her head, sobbing nonstop while gasping for breath.
The cold wind lifted the dust from the ground, covering her with a thin layer of ash.
Ye Zhen wiped the sweat off her forehead and gave Xiao Zhu a heavy kick on her trembling body before she stopped. She turned around and commanded the two servants behind her, “Such a loyal servant. If she was kept for a few more days, she would definitely be more loyal to her mistress. Hurry up and drag her away.”
A few servants looked at each other, walked over and forcefully pulled Xiao Zhu up. Right at that moment, a dozen servants appeared in the distance.
When she saw the woman walking over from the other side, Ye Zhen was still somewhat alarmed and replied, “Princess.”
Situ Jingyu frowned, seeing the lady walk towards him.
