Handsome Prince, Come to my Embrace - C210
Phoenix-resting Chamber.
Whether it was spring and autumn or winter and summer, the long corridor that led to the Scenic Flower Hall would always exude a faint, elegant fragrance. The dense forest in the courtyard seemed to have been covered by flying grass, which was wrapped around a sandalwood pillar carved with phoenixes and phoenixes.
Around this beautiful scene, the other places were even more exquisite. It was as if every rock had to have a background.
Looking at the exquisite layout of the Phoenix Nest, Leng Shaoyu really did love Bai Yuee to the bones back then, and was willing to give her everything in this world.
The formal courtyard did not have much difference from any other place. It was likely that Luo Shang did not like extravagance, and had turned natural, thus the complex design of the courtyard had gradually simplified. The trees should have withered, the leaves should have fallen, and it was exactly in accordance with the proverb, “Everything has its cause and effect.”
In this late autumn, even such a spacious room would inevitably be tainted with the sadness of the lonely fall.
There were all kinds of bottles on the table, each one marked with a note. On the chair, on the floor, there were a few baskets, and on the cloth on the table, there were some dried flowers and plants. The whole room was filled with this kind of transcendent fragrance.
“2 coins for licorice, 4 taels for cuckoos, 1 tael for candied fruits, 1 tael for white, 1 cherry …” Xiao Zhu squatted on the ground, holding the opened book in one hand and carefully picked out the herbs recorded in the book with the other and placed it in the other basket.
Afraid of forgetting, in case she made a mistake, she would read more every time she picked a potion. Her head would roll back and forth as she muttered nonstop.
“One, two, three …” Her mouth kept mumbling, counting the times when she would forget the order. She started scratching her ears and cheeks, feeling both angry and annoyed.
Xiao Zhu raised her head and looked at the woman sitting beside the table, who was still patiently preparing the medicine. Her exquisite face was slightly raised, and her lips were faintly parted.
“Princess, how can you tell them apart so clearly? I can’t even remember them clearly when I look at the identification of the book.” The Xiao Zhu complained.
The woman laughed silently.
“Imperial Consort Wang, how long have you been together with the royal family? How long have you been so proficient in the art of medicine?” She blinked her eyes, thought for a while, and after letting out a long grunt, said, “Oh … I got it, you, you must have learnt it secretly from some godly doctor in the Jianghu. Otherwise, how could the General Luo not stop you from learning this kind of heartless technique? ”
She giggled.
However, the woman was stunned. Luo Shang looked at the fennel in her hand, her gaze a little dejected, and her brows moved a little.
She smiled slightly and said, “I don’t remember.”
She really couldn’t remember. From the moment she woke up, all that was left was this mindless shell. After Nalan Yanran told her her identity, her entire fate had been tied up by a chain and she could no longer allow herself to be manipulated. She did not know if the images that were shattered in her dreams were her lost memories. Even after using all sorts of methods, she was still unable to recall them. As time passed, she also gave up on them.
As for whether or not she could recall the past, she did not care anymore. So what if she could?
Hearing her words, the Xiao Zhu was a little surprised. She immediately stood up and went to Luo Shang’s side. Don’t remember? How could he not remember? Even though this servant was born poor, she had always lived in the capital with Ah’pa and had also heard of you. They said that before your marriage, you had always been left behind in the General’s Estate by the General Luo and never left the mansion, so how could you suddenly forget what happened in the past? ”
“Xiao Zhu was puzzled. There were several generations of emperors and emperors who wrote the Wu Zhou, and it was impossible for a woman to surpass a man in power. General Luo is so sincere, I will definitely not let you learn this kind of martial art. But Princess Wangfei’s medical skills are like the reincarnation of a godly doctor. The little girl spoke in all seriousness.
“Tell me …” Before I was married, I had never left the General’s Estate at all? ” Luo Shang frowned, her eyes suddenly becoming more gloomy.
Xiao Zhu nodded her head. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she heard some noise coming from outside, and then the door was pushed opened by someone from the outside. When the door opened, a gust of cold wind blew into the room.
“Princess Jing, you can’t go in, you can’t.”
“Princess Jing, you can’t …” The servants trying to stop Situ Jingyu were unable to do anything.
Seeing her dressed in beautiful Scarlet Butterfly robes, showing off her might, Luo Shang did not have any expression, and only signaled her servants to withdraw.
The maidservants nodded with lingering fear. They felt that nothing would happen, so they just shut the door.
Xiao Zhu knew that Situ Jingyu definitely did not come with good intentions, and immediately stood behind Luo Shang to prevent any unforeseen events.
Glancing at the trivial things on the table, Situ Jingyu laughed sarcastically. Without any formalities, she immediately sat down and faced her in every way.
“Elder sister’s complexion has been quite good recently. It’s rare for me to be able to regain the favor of the prince. I wonder if this Dew of Rain will be able to spread its leaves on your body …” Situ Jingyu raised his orchid shaped fingers as he gently stroked his eyebrows, and his sharp expression finally landed on Luo Shang’s lower abdomen.
There was meaning in her words, that her gaze was also as sharp as a knife, but her hatred towards Luo Shang didn’t decrease in the slightest.
Xiao Zhu dumbly opened her eyes and silently looked at Luo Shang. His hands tightly gripped the hem of her clothes as she squeezed out a cold sweat. She thought to herself: Crap, Princess Jing must have found something, could it be that she accidentally let something fall into her hands? Could it be that she found out that the wangfei …
The little girl shook her head with all her might to wake herself up from her terrible thoughts. She did not dare think any further and silently looked at Luo Shang.
However, Luo Shang still looked as normal, as if she did not react at all to Situ’s words.
“I wonder how long you will keep this a secret.” Situ Jingyu sneered.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Hearing this, Situ Jingyu laughed out loud, with her laughter filled with various ridicule and hostility.
“Don’t you know?” She slowly stood up, the back of her hand that had been clenched into a fist was covered with black hair. She grabbed a corner of the table and flung her long sleeves, causing the entire table full of herbs and flowers to fall onto the ground.
Luo Shang breathed in coldly, and without even glancing at Situ, she bent down, extended her hand, and picked up the pills that were still usable.
Xiao Zhu’s eyes moistened. had specially prepared all these for Luo Shang at the time. She knew that when she had nothing to do, she would just do these for the common people who had no money to treat their illnesses in the city, so she spent a lot of effort to make these now.
Pursing his lips, Xiao Zhu’s tears began to flow uncontrollably down his face. She knew that Luo Shang would definitely feel extremely uncomfortable in her heart, but she would never have thought that Situ Jingyu’s next sentence would be like a bolt out of the blue.
Situ Jingyu proudly raised her foot and stepped on the complete set of herbs. As she grinded on it, she taunted: “What I’m talking about, is the one in your stomach …. “Bastard.”
The powder that covered the sky fell onto the ground in front of Luo Shang’s eyes, causing her to lament over it. After smelling this again, the hand that was picking up the medicine stopped.
“What, you want to hit me?” Situ Jingyu sneered. Her eyes seemed to be filled with stagnant water. “I really didn’t expect you to come back. Even more so, I didn’t expect that a slut like you would actually bring back a bastard.”
Xiao Zhu couldn’t stand Situ calling him a bastard and insulting Luo Shang like that. “Princess Jing, the Royal Consort, she …”
“Situ Jingyu completely ignored the little girl, and directly pushed her away, standing in front of Luo Shang. She raised the corner of her mouth, and looked at Luo Shang with a vicious gaze. Princess? How is she worthy to be an imperial concubine? ”
“Luo Shang, you are the dignified daughter of a general, yet you dare to do such an outrageous thing. It’s no wonder, even after returning for so long, you still haven’t revealed anything. Even An Cha was acting so sneakily, you sure are suffering.” Situ Jingyu glared at Xiao Zhu who was standing by the side.
“How much longer do you want to pretend? Don’t think that I can spare you just because you’re pampered by the prince, especially now that you’ve become such a vile creature.”
“Are you done?” The quiet woman suddenly spoke up.
There was no makeup on her delicate jade face. She didn’t argue with Situ, only saying, “If you’re done, please leave.”
Seeing that he did not touch her, the anger in Situ Jingyu’s heart burned even hotter. Grabbing Luo Shang’s wrist, Situ Jingyu raised his head and said with a high profile: “Since you are so noble, then fine, let’s go see your highness now. I would like to see how the Prince will deal with you, and with it. ”
After saying that, she dragged Luo Shang away.
