Looking at the man leaning on the soft couch, Yin Luzhu took a deep breath and walked towards him step by step.
From beginning to end, Gu Tingfang's eyes remained on her face.
This face is exactly the same as that of Yin Luzhu, but there are some differences.
I don’t know what that person’s expression would be like knowing that there is someone who looks like him and is a woman from a brothel.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing.
Seeing this, Yin Luzhu's face darkened, and he felt unhappy, but he didn't show any signs of it.
Arriving in front of Gu Tingfang, Yin Luzhu suddenly knelt down. Looking at her low-to-dust posture, Gu Tingfang's expression was indifferent, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Then, he saw the woman boldly reaching out her hand to untie his belt.
Gu Tingfang was startled, and he subconsciously patted the back of the person in front of him on the hand, "How presumptuous!"
"The daughter of the people knows her mistake."
She immediately put her head on the ground, her body trembling slightly.
Gu Tingfang took a deep breath, feeling very bored.
"A commoner's daughter?" He murmured these two words in a cold voice with sarcasm, "A brothel girl is a lowly citizen, yet she dares to call herself a commoner's daughter."
Hearing this condescending tone and the expression of all living beings being like ants, Yin Luzhu's eyes suddenly turned cold.
However, she still didn't get carried away.
Instead, he whispered: "The humble slave's hometown suffered a flood. The whole village had no harvest. Everyone was displaced and had to protect their parents and children."
Her voice was exceptionally calm, but to Gu Tingfang's ears, it was like thunder, making his heart tingle slightly.
Yin Luzhu's voice continued.
"The slave originally had an older sister, but...my mother was too hungry and was still pregnant. The doctor said it was a baby boy. My father's long-cherished wish was to have a baby boy."
"In order to save my mother's life, he had no choice but to exchange my sister with someone else's house and cook and share the food."
"But even so, it was all in vain. The road to the imperial city was blocked by the government, cutting off our last way of survival. My father was really hungry, so he turned to me."
"My mother couldn't bear for me to die like this, so she took me to escape late at night. On the way, my father caught up with me. My mother was almost beaten to death by my father to protect me, and I also fell off the cliff."
"Fortunately, God showed mercy and the madam of Furong Tower picked me up. Seeing that I looked good, she took her into Furong Tower and taught me how to make a living."
"Today, this lowly slave has stained your eyes. From now on, I will definitely stay away from you."
Gu Tingfang's chest suddenly felt tight. It felt like being cut with a dull knife. It wasn't sharp, but it made him feel a deep sense of guilt.
"Is your hometown Linan?"
In the year when he first ascended the throne, officials reported that there were severe floods in Linnan, but unknown to anyone, some officials pretended to be peaceful. Later, Nan Xiao personally went to Linnan to eliminate the silverfish in the court.
Gu Tingfang stretched out her hand to help the fragile person in front of her, but she avoided it.
There was moisture in her eyes, and she said: "Your Majesty, this lowly slave was once a good citizen. If not..."
Her voice suddenly choked.
Raising her eyes, she quickly glanced at Gu Tingfang, and then quickly moved away.
Just such a look made Gu Tingfang's guilt reach its peak in an instant.
"From now on, there is no need to call yourself a cheap slave." After a while, he lowered his eyes and spoke in frustration.
After a pause, he seemed to feel that it was not enough, and then said: "If you are willing, I can help you redeem yourself."
