After hearing that the Duke's family had been stripped of their titles and demoted to commoners because they offended the saint, Lu Wange became more and more panicked.
It seems that His Majesty values the Saint so much that he is willing to do this. If the Saint says anything casually in front of His Majesty, what will he do?
What's more, His Majesty rarely comes over recently, and I don't know why. Could it be that the beauty she is so proud of is of no use at all?
"What's going on these days, Your Majesty? I always look at you absent-mindedly. Your Majesty hasn't come to see you for so long. Aren't you worried, Your Majesty?"
Yuexiang is really anxious. Ever since the saint appeared, His Majesty seems to have come here very rarely. He used to come here almost every day, but now he has not come to see her for seven consecutive days.
What's more, the empress herself is not in a good condition, she is not dressed as exquisitely as before, and her whole complexion is much worse.
The empress can be favored only by such a skin. If the skin is not good, what can be done?
"I'm worried about what use these are."
Lu Wange smiled sarcastically. With that child living in the palace, how could she have the time to worry about whether His Majesty would come over?
She really didn't know what the child wanted to do. If she really had resentment in her heart, she could direct it at herself, but now she didn't do anything.
Precisely because I don’t know what to do, I feel panic all the time, and I am always worried that someone will come to collect debt from me in the next second.
It's so terrible. Why did she give birth to such a terrible child in the first place!
She should have beaten this child more cruelly, and maybe she wouldn't be as worried as she is today. She just has no fate with this child!
This child is here to collect debt from himself!
"This slave really doesn't understand what the queen is worried about. If she is worried about His Majesty, then she should dress up more beautifully every day, so as to attract His Majesty."
Yuexiang was really anxious. If the master did not favor her, her life as a slave would not be easy. Compared with before, she had suffered a lot of ridicule.
In the past, when her master was favored, she would often ridicule others. Now that her master is a little depressed, and those people are good at flattering others, her life is just average.
"Have you heard how much your Majesty trusts the Saint? Last time the Duke's family offended the Saint, they were punished so severely. Is Your Majesty too partial to the Saint?"
Lu Wange looked at Yuexiang and grabbed the handkerchief in her hand.
"The saint is now the person that His Majesty trusts the most. What's more, the young lady from the Duke's mansion offended the saint. She deserves to be punished like this!"
Yuexiang thought about it carefully, she also heard these things from others.
However, your Majesty naturally has your reasons for doing this. Maybe the lady from the Duke's Palace really offended the saint?
"Does that mean that the Saint's position in His Majesty's heart is very important? Does it mean that His Majesty will listen to whatever the Saint says."
Lu Wange's heart suddenly sank. Although he had thought of this possibility for a long time, after the incident at the Duke's Mansion, his heart became more and more panicked.
Even the Duke's family can be punished so easily, wouldn't she...
"probably."
Yuexiang nodded.
After getting the answer, Lu Wange looked at himself in the mirror in despair. Today, he felt that his face was not enough no matter how he looked at it. He just felt that it was ordinary.
Her heart had already hit rock bottom. What was the use of packing up such a skin all day long?
What's more, this face seems to be of little use now. His Majesty has never come over again, which shows that His Majesty is tired of himself.
What else can she do in the future?
…
The days passed slowly, and the saint acted as if Lu Wange did not exist from the beginning, because she knew that as long as she showed up with Lu Chen, Lu Wange would scare herself to death in her heart.
She just wanted to let Lu Wange have his own wild thoughts and live in her own fear, and she would also use many things to hold His Majesty back. Gradually, after one or two incidents, His Majesty no longer thought so deeply about Lu Wange.
In fact, this is the case, the peach blossom lottery can indeed confuse a person's mind for a short time, but it cannot confuse a person forever, and he will eventually wake up.
"Sister, aren't you curious, how are the Duke's family doing?"
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, with a smile on his lips.
He knew that the Duke's family and his sister had a deep hatred, so how could he let them go so easily?
He could also see how arrogant and domineering the young lady from the Duke's Palace was in front of her sister, and knew that she had robbed her sister of everything.
So he sneaked into the house where they were living and sprinkled a packet of poisonous powder. The young lady's face would become red and rotten, and other people would suffer from various diseases.
They deserve to be so cruel to their sister.
"Oh?" Tao Yao pretended to be confused, "I really don't know. When I have time in the future, I will go and see for myself. Doesn't the whole family have deep feelings? I would like to see if there is no such beautiful jade. Can the relationship of this family continue to live in a food-filled life?"
Obviously this is probably impossible.
Judging from the treatment of that silly girl, this family values face more than family affection.
I only like Wei Shu because she is elegant and dignified, proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is a very respectable rich lady.
Now that they have all been demoted to civilians, all these so-called faces are worthless, but I am very curious about what will happen to that family next.
"Let's put this aside for now. You should have guessed by now what I'm going to tell you, right?"
Tao Yao walked over and patted Lu Chen's hand. Lu Wange had already appeared these days. Lu Chen didn't seem to care at all, but she could feel that the other party wanted to get the final result in his heart.
After all, she is her biological mother, so she is still a little bit different.
"As long as my sister makes the decision for me, I will obey her in everything."
Lu Chen just replied calmly.
In fact, he did have some emotions towards that woman, but more of them were resentment.
He only remembered the way that woman ruthlessly left him to suffer, and also knew that she had lived a life of fine clothing and fine food in this palace, and had never thought of him for so many years.
That woman was really cruel to him!
Now that he really couldn't do it himself, he could just obey his sister's wishes in everything.
"Did you know that she is so beautiful now because she got a peach blossom stick? A woman who gets this thing will get a particularly beautiful skin.
It is precisely because of such a beautiful body that she is favored by His Majesty, so I am going to take away what she cares about most. What do you think? "
The most important thing about Lu Wange was her appearance, so she took the peach blossom pick and destroyed it, letting Lu Wange see her true appearance.
After all, people have to face their truest self, so what’s the point of putting on a false skin?
"That's what my sister said."
Lu Chen nodded, and the last wave of emotions in his heart gradually calmed down. Everything will have an ending.
He suddenly turned around and reached out to hold Taoyao in his arms, hoping to calm down his heart slowly.
"It's okay, everything will pass. As long as you stay with me, you will never be sad in the future, and you will always be so happy."
Tao Yao's voice was very pleasant, with a hint of bewitchment.
In fact, what does a peach blossom sign mean? It is still the body of a whole peach tree. In terms of peach blossom luck, it is thousands of times better than that peach blossom sign!
Lu Chen didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.
He doesn't want to care about other things, he just wants to be with his sister every day. Anyway, the days with his sister are his happiest time, and no one can replace his sister's existence.
On this day, Lu Wange got up as usual and went to the dressing table. When he wanted to apply makeup and powder, he was suddenly frightened.
She picked up the mirror with trembling hands in fear and looked at her face carefully. She couldn't believe it when she looked left and right, and then she threw the mirror to the ground.
But in disbelief, I picked up the fragments of the mirror and looked at my face. I couldn't believe how my face turned out like this!
The unparalleled beauty and flawless skin that used to be there have all disappeared. How could it be like this?
She will never forget this face now in her life.
It was the face when she was an oiran, the face when she was tricked into giving birth to a child, the face when she was at her most depressed, and the face she least wanted to see.
What's going on, why is this happening!
Where has all her beauty gone?
What is all this going on? What is happening?
Lu Wange squatted down, covered her face with her hands and lowered her head to cry. What should she do? Her most important face was gone. What should she do in the future?
The reason why she has been favored by His Majesty for so many years is entirely because she has such a beautiful skin. But now that such an important skin is gone, won't she soon be abandoned?
"What's wrong, my dear?"
Yuexiang was originally guarding outside, but when she heard the movement inside, she quickly opened the door and entered.
"Don't come over!"
Lu Wange quickly stood up and turned his back to Yuexiang, but his whole body couldn't help but tremble with fear.
"What's wrong, my dear?"
Yuexiang stopped immediately. She could only see Lu Wange's back and the broken mirror fragments on the ground. She didn't understand what was going on. Why was the empress getting more and more weird?
"Please step back first, and I will let you in later."
Lu Wange tried her best to suppress the emotions in her heart, so she could only ask people to leave first.
"yes."
Yuexiang could only go out and close the door. She was really full of doubts. She really didn't know what was going on?
After hearing the sound of closing the door, Lu Wange squatted on the ground as if his strength had been drained. He reluctantly picked up the pieces and looked at them again. His face was still the same.
In fact, her original face was also very beautiful, otherwise how could she become an oiran, but compared with the face of such a stunning beauty, she could only be regarded as Xiaojiabiyu at best, and she could not be seen in this harem.
What to do, what to do with all this?
Could it be him?
By the way, that saint is so capable. All of this was done by the saint and him to take revenge on him. This is how it is, it must be like this!
Lu Wange suddenly couldn't help but smile sarcastically, he had finally waited for this day, finally waited for the day when they came to take revenge on him!
In fact, this is quite good. Compared with the aimless worry about getting retribution every day, it finally makes people calm down. She finally got revenge from her own child!
She stretched out her hand to touch her face. She didn't have the usual white and flawless touch. It was actually worth it. She had enjoyed the glory and wealth for so many years and enjoyed His Majesty's love for so many years.
Now it's time to pay the price for all this.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anymore.
