Chapter 458 Sending Him Off for the Last Time
Sang Luo opened the envelope, read the contents, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Fei Yuan also came over to take a look, and smiled knowingly,
"No, the opportunity has come."
…
The crown prince has not yet come of age, so the beauties in the Eastern Palace do not need to sleep with him.
A few days ago, Yunhua would sometimes come to Sang Luo's room at night to sleep with her, simply covering herself with a quilt and taking a nap, with a rectangular pillow separating the two of them.
However, in the past few days, Prince Yunhua was obviously busy with other things. Perhaps he was busy preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony two months later. Sang Luo rarely saw him, which made it convenient for her to enter and leave the palace.
Late at night the next day after receiving the secret letter, Sang Luo found an opportunity to leave the palace and came to the woods outside the city, where a group of men in black had been waiting for a long time.
The leader was a tall and strong middle-aged man with the lower half of his face wrapped in a triangular black scarf, revealing only a pair of sharp eagle eyes.
The man saw Sang Luo coming over and laughed triumphantly, "I knew you would come!"
"Where are the people?" Sang Luo asked him, his voice emotionless.
To others, it was just a cold and angry question.
The tall and strong man waved his hand, and two tall and thin men took the three people and threw them to the ground.
The two old men and one young boy were tied up with ropes and their mouths were roughly stuffed with cloth.
When the three of them saw Sang Luo, tears started streaming down their faces and they cried out in excitement.
Someone tore the cloth from the old woman's mouth.
The old woman burst into tears, "Pengpeng, please save your parents and your brother! We don't want to die yet. Just give these people what they want!"
Yaoqin's real name is Kuang Pengpeng.
Sang Luo did not change her appearance, but she used an illusion. To outsiders, she still had the face of the Yaoqin Dancer.
She also confirmed the identities of the three kidnapped people. The old woman who cried out was Kuang Pengpeng's biological mother, and the other two men, old and young, were her stepfather and younger brother.
Kuang Pengpeng was a girl from a poor family. Her family was not well off. For the livelihood of her family, she relied on her good looks and perseverance to endure hardships and learn, and accidentally embarked on the path of making quick money as a dancer in a brothel. Not only did she provide for her family's food and drink, but she also saved enough money for her younger brother to embark on a career in politics.
She worked herself to death and endured humiliation, just hoping that her brother could bring honor to the family and get a government job, so that she could be relieved.
But she didn't know that the young man from a poor family had already been dazzled by this prosperous imperial city. He indulged in eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, and owed a lot of debts, which dragged her deeper and deeper into the quagmire.
Of course, this is not something Sang Luo should worry about. In Yaoqin's heart, the most important thing is her family. That's why this group of people dared to use these three people to threaten her.
"How about this? As long as you agree to work for us, I will release your parents and your brother. After the work is done, the debts owed by your brother will be written off. Our master will also give you a large sum of money and send you away from the capital so that you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!" The tall and strong man in the lead put forward the conditions.
Sang Luo's eyes instantly turned red, and she forbearingly said, "Don't touch my family. As long as we are safe, I am willing to do anything!"
Seeing her crying, the group felt more relieved.
The tall and strong man walked up to her and stuffed a packet of powder into her hands.
"You are the prince's favorite concubine, and you are the one he trusts the most in the backyard. But you should also thank our master for giving you this opportunity. You could never earn this much money selling your body in a brothel in your entire life!"
As he spoke, the tall and strong man's lustful eyes swept over Sang Luo's face, and he was amazed. "You know what, the prince's taste is really good. You are worthy of being the top dancer of Zuihuan Tower. Such a face! Such a figure! It's a pity that I have a mission to complete, otherwise I would definitely have a good night with you..."
"Playing with the prince's woman, just thinking about it is exciting!"
The group of men around her burst into laughter, and more evil eyes fell on her.
A hint of coldness flashed in Sang Luo's eyes.
The tall and strong man was about to reach out to touch her waist and hips, but the next second, a scream was heard and the man collapsed to the ground with his arm bent abnormally.
"How dare this bitch take action!"
"Tie her up! Teach this bitch a lesson! Who should she listen to?!"
Everyone wanted to rush forward, but then their eyes lost focus and they became motionless like puppets.
Sang Luo, "Go tell your master that I agree to this deal with him."
"……yes."
This group of criminals seemed to have lost their souls and left obediently.
Witnessing this scene, Kuang's parents and her brother were filled with shock. The next second, they too fainted. Sang Luo used his mental power to alter their memories of that night.
After finishing the things here, Sang Luo returned to the palace. Fei Yuan had been waiting for her in the room.
"how?"
"The Emperor has thirteen children, the most capable of whom are Crown Prince Yunhua and the Third Prince. The Third Prince formed a clique within the court, and his influence is extremely strong. Crown Prince Yunhua spent his entire life in the temple cultivating himself until he reached adulthood. Apart from his mother's family and some senior court officials, he doesn't have much support. Furthermore, Crown Prince Yunhua's biological mother, Empress Xiaozhuang, had passed away many years ago, leaving the Third Prince's mother, Consort Rou, in control of the harem."
"The Emperor's health is deteriorating day by day. Although Crown Prince Yunhua still holds the title of Crown Prince, the people's hope lies with the Third Prince." Sang Luo took out the packet of powder and continued, "If the Third Prince wants to ascend to that position, he must first eliminate Crown Prince Yunhua. So he set a trap for me to fall into."
Fei Yuan also looked at the packet of powder. He had been the Phoenix Emperor for so many years that he was no longer surprised by these little tricks behind the scenes. "He wants to use you to poison Crown Prince Yunhua?"
"Well, everyone knows that I am now the most favored beauty of Crown Prince Yunhua. If there is an opportunity to take action, the Third Prince doesn't really expect me to accomplish anything big. He just wants to add a layer of security to his plan." Sang Luo sighed, "But I don't want to be the one to take action."
Fei Yuan looked at her deeply, "Luo'er, you know it very well. If you want Yan to come back, Crown Prince Yunhua will definitely die."
"……I know."
Although Prince Yunhua was the reincarnation of Yan's soul fragment, she could not completely regard the two as the same person. She felt a little sorry for ending another young man's life for Yan.
"As you said, if you weren't there, there would be someone else. You've simply replaced the murderer." Fei Yuan said, "Rather than letting him die at the hands of someone else, why not send him off yourself?"
Sang Luo sighed deeply.
In this life, Prince Yunhua could not escape the fate of dying before the age of twenty.
"Over the past few hundred years, I've reincarnated over and over again, but none of them ended well..."
Fei Yuan smiled, "These old guys are quite ruthless to themselves."
Sang Luo heard the hidden meaning in his words and was a little surprised, "Besides Yan, is there anyone else?"
Fei Yuan nodded. "The more these [existences] have lived for tens of thousands of years, the more they fear the arrival of the calamity of life and death. Some seek higher breakthroughs, some seek to avert the calamity of death, or for other unavoidable reasons, these [existences] will choose to enter the world..."
I’m so sleepy, I can’t write anymore. I’ll try again tomorrow.
