Within an hour, all the palaces in the imperial city knew the news that General Xiao's son had been abandoned by the princess.
They also knew that in order to frame the princess, Mrs. Side of the Xiao family lied that she was pregnant and was pushed into the lake by the princess, causing a miscarriage. However, after the imperial doctor's diagnosis, it was proved that Mrs. Side had only come to Kuishui and the pregnancy was completely false.
Such a mistake caused Mrs. Xiao and her son to go to the Princess to accuse her, and they almost punished the Princess with family laws, so that the Princess divorced her husband in anger, making the Xiao family a complete laughing stock in the imperial city. Not to mention the concubine Li.
Then he was taken away by the Shadow Pavilion, and his life and death were unpredictable.
When the words "Shadow Pavilion" were mentioned, everyone who was waiting to see the excitement couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
But Yun Zishu doesn't know this yet.
She is taking a bath.
The bath was steaming hot and the fragrance lingered in the air.
She leaned against the pool wall quietly, her exquisite white body surrounded by hot water and flower petals. As she gently stirred the water, ripples appeared on the surface of the pool.
...She really lived a new life.
Yun Zishu lowered her eyes and stared at the slender white hands. There were no cracks, no bloody marks cut by sharp swords, no heartbreaking pain, and no warm blood dripping from them.
Yun Zishu closed her eyes, feeling a dull pain in her heart, mixed with icy-cold hatred, overwhelming hatred, strong resentment and unwillingness, which made her want to rush into the palace immediately and question that person why.
Do this to her?
However, in the end, she just opened her eyes and calmly covered up all the fluctuations in her eyes that would reveal her emotions.
She died once and came back to life.
This is an opportunity given to her by God, and she cannot let it go.
In her previous life, it was her father who pushed her into the abyss step by step, and it was those beasts of the Xiao family who killed her step by step. Among the many clan princes of the Yun family, no one had ever pitied her plight.
No one has ever stopped what the Xiao family did, and no one has ever stood up for her injustice.
No one ever shed a tear after her death.
On the contrary, Sicang, the commander of the Shadow Pavilion who had no blood relationship with her, after learning about her death, rushed into the Xiao family like a mad man, killing gods and Buddhas when he met them, causing the Xiao family to be littered with corpses in an instant
, filled with blood.
Those eyes were filled with cold hatred, wrapped in a murderous intent that would destroy the world, but there was endless sorrow and despair lingering around him.
Yun Zishu will never forget the scene she saw in her eyes at the last moment when her soul disappeared. The man who made everyone fearful used his own power to avenge her and almost wiped out the entire Xiao family.
The chief culprit, Xiao Yunheng, had his limbs and meridians severed by him. He screamed and begged for mercy, but it failed to make him feel any compassion. He cut off his head with a knife and left his body in a different place.
Mrs. Xiao witnessed her son's tragic death, screamed and fainted, but she was unable to stop the sword of death from piercing her vitals.
However, after all, he is only a mortal body, how can he withstand the rain of arrows flying from the sky?
Yun Zishu raised her hand to cover her heart. Every time she thought of that scene, her heart felt like a sharp stabbing pain.
"Your Highness, Princess." The maid who was kneeling aside to take care of the bath said with a hint of worry in her voice, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Zishu suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head slowly: "It's nothing, I just thought of some unhappy things."
"Princess, there is no need to think too much. If anyone makes you unhappy, make him unhappy too."
Yun Zishu turned her head somewhat unexpectedly and faced the maid's beautiful and calm face: "I remember that the person who served in the inner hall was not you before. What is your name?"
"My maid, Leng Yue, the commander-in-chief ordered me to come over and serve the princess."
Yun Zishu was stunned: "Are you also from the Shadow Pavilion?"
Leng Yue nodded: "Yes."
"How many women are there in Shadow Pavilion?"
Leng Yue said: "Currently, there are sixteen people who can leave the cabinet to perform tasks."
"Are they as old as you?"
"Almost." Leng Yue said, "There is a difference of two or three years, because everyone has different talents. Some leave the palace earlier, and some leave the palace later."
Yun Zishu hummed and said nothing more.
"Your Highness, are you still taking a shower?"
While she was in a daze, Leng Yue had already washed her carefully and used fragrance. "Soaking her for too long is not good for your health."
Yun Zishu said: "I won't wash it anymore."
After getting up and walking out of the bath, Leng Yue stepped forward to wipe her body and put on a clean blue dress.
After fastening her belt, Yun Zishu turned around and walked out. As soon as she reached the outer hall, she saw Sicang standing at the foot of the hall wearing a black robe.
"Your Highness."
Yun Zishu said: "Is there a decree from the palace?"
"The emperor asked His Highness the Princess to enter the palace now, but I found a reason to refuse."
Refuse?
Yun Zishu looked at him calmly, turned around and walked into the palace: "Come in."
Sicang followed him into the palace.
Yun Zishu sat down on the brocade couch in front of the window: "Sicang, do you have something to do with your father?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment: "Why does Her Highness the Princess ask that?"
"No one can disobey the emperor's decree, even if you are the commander of the Shadow Pavilion." Yun Zishu said calmly, "Besides, since you choose to listen to me, you will definitely find a way to protect me. There is no benefit in disobeying the imperial decree at this time."
Lifting her gaze slightly, Yun Zishu looked at him with some deep thought in her eyes: "Unless you hold enough chips to win."
Sicang looked at her.
The two people looked at each other. At this moment, there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority. There was no suspicion, fear or doubt about each other, but just a simple and silent look at each other.
For a moment, Si Cang narrowed his eyes and said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess guessed right, the humble position does hold the Emperor's secrets."
"So my father doesn't dare to kill you?"
"yes."
"What if he did it secretly?"
"No." Sicang's tone was very calm, "I have made all preparations, and the emperor does not dare."
Yun Zishu fell silent.
Looking at the world, Sicang is probably the only one who is so confident and dares to speak like this.
He is not arrogant, nor is he rebellious or arrogant.
He was just telling her that no one could do anything to him, so she didn't have to worry or worry.
"This secret is related to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Yun Zishu was surprised, "Is it related to me?"
"yes."
"Can you tell me?"
"Yes." Si Cang looked at her, suppressing deep emotional fluctuations in his eyes, "But His Highness is tired today. He needs to have a good meal and sleep to regain his energy before talking about anything else."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "Can you sleep?"
The Xiao family is not allowed to make trouble later? Li Xue is taken to Shadow Pavilion, can the Li family sit still?
A letter of divorce was sent to the Xiao Mansion, and the emperor was furious. All the civil and military officials in the court were implicated, so how could he give her peace?
General Xiao went to the military camp. When he came back in the evening, he learned that something had happened at home... No, maybe he didn't have to wait until night at all. As long as someone rushed to spread the news to the military camp, he should be back now, right?
