Luo Shang turned her head and coincidentally met Qing Ning's eyes that were as vicious as a scorpion's.

"I have never known this lady before, nor do I have any intention of offending her. Thus, why is this lady in such a difficult situation?"

She had just entered the West Garden, even if it was because of her rudeness, it would not cause the entire room to be filled with people who hated her so much.

Someone must have instructed them to do so, and he was the only one who had such great authority to make the women of the Backyard listen.

Leng Shaoyu.

He really didn't want to give her a single chance at life.

"But your appearance offended me." Qing Ning stared at Luo Shang with a bloodthirsty look.

"Then what do you want?" Luo Shang's face was as calm as water, as calm as her gaze. Her expression of indifference made Qing Ning even more resentful.

Although she was not as ambitious as Yun Xiu and did not hesitate to put in all her effort to become a princess, she was not a vicious woman who would deliberately set people up or even kill them. But in the end, she was still a woman, and also a relatively outstanding and beautiful one. Thus, right now, not only was it because of Yun Xiu, her heart was also filled with jealousy, and her hostility towards Luo Shang.

"What I want to do depends on you. Here … My shoes are dirty, hurry up and clean them for me. " Qing Ning crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at Luo Shang with ridicule in her eyes, she took the chance to reveal his shoes, and waited for the woman to wipe them clean.

Qing Ning wanted to deliberately and properly humiliate Luo Shang; to see how she would maintain her pride and self-esteem.

Everyone in the room gathered at the side, waving their sleeves and laughing, watching this dramatic scene, where a useless concubine who had fallen to the point of wiping dancer's shoes, was really interesting.

"My shoes are very expensive, so I have to wipe them clean with my hands."

Hearing her words, he didn't try to hide the fact that she was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Luo Shang squinted her beautiful eyes, lowered her head and looked at her pair of exquisite embroidered shoes and chuckled.

Then, he directly went around Qing Ning and headed towards the table.

Just as Qing Ning and the others were puzzled, they saw Luo Shang picking up the jade colored dark blue teapot on the table, and walking towards them.

Before they could react, they heard a scream, "Ah!"

Qing Ning immediately raised her leg, she covered her embroidered shoes that had just been poured with a pot of hot water, and shouted loudly, completely disgraceful.

She never thought that Luo Shang would have the guts to pour tea on her shoes.

"Sister Qing Ning, how are you?"

"Sister Qing Ning, are you alright? Hurry and check if there is any burn wounds on her body."

"Luo Shang, you are bold."

"…"

The dancer people surrounded Qing Ning and muttered incessantly, while fiercely staring at the woman who was wiping her hands.

"This is how I clean people's shoes. Is this girl satisfied?" Luo Shang chuckled, and said indifferently.

Qing Ning stared angrily at Luo Shang, gritting her teeth, but hearing her words, she became even angrier, she extended her hand, and a black figure appeared in the air and swiftly struck down.

With a "pa" sound, the corner of Luo Shang's mouth bruised. She turned her hand, and without even thinking, she gave the Qing Ning in front of her a resounding slap.

Qing Ning was so beaten up by the woman that she turned her head away, she covered her face, her red cheeks turning purple.

"You're courting death!"

"What are you all waiting for!"

Qing Ning wiped the blood off her mouth and spat it out, then roared at the dancer s beside him, turned around, and sat back down at the table.

When the dancer s heard her orders, they immediately walked forward, pressed on Luo Shang's shoulders and firmly pressed her down, bringing her to stand in front of Qing Ning.

"Kneel!"

They shouted at Luo Shang.

"Kneel!"

The woman's knees looked like they were made of iron, she was unwilling to kneel down no matter what. A dancer then used her strength to kick Luo Shang from the back to subdue her.

Seeing Luo Shang kneeling at her feet, Qing Ning finally felt a bit of comfort in her heart. She brought her face closer, with a malicious smile, she taunted Luo Shang.

"Where did the arrogance go? Heh. You are still kneeling at my feet. "

"Don't look at me like that. Once you enter here, you will have some troubles in the future." "Remember, this is just the beginning" Qing Ning laughed coldly. She had done what her good sister Yun Xiu had asked her to do, and this woman would definitely die from torture.

That day, Yun Xiu cried when she saw her and claimed that she was extremely rampant. With her status as an imperial concubine, she had made things difficult for him at every turn, causing her to lose her position, and get beaten up again.

Qing Ning and Yun Xiu were sisters, how could she possibly sit idly by?

He never thought that it would be as Yun Xiu had said, this abandoned concubine was truly arrogant.

"Go make a pot of tea. "Wait, I want some hot tea." She instructed a dancer who was about to turn around.

Not long after, dancer brought a pot of tea. Through the thin neck of the tea, it was still steaming hot.

"I'll let you have a taste of it too." While speaking, Yun Xiu held up the teapot, boiling tea water flowing out from the mouth of the teapot and sprinkling on top of Luo Shang's head.

The scalding water made her scalp tingle and swell with pain.

She bit her lips, not saying a word. She forced herself to endure.

After pouring a cup of tea, it flowed down the woman's face, her face under her wet hair had become completely red, but Qing Ning was still unable to vent.

The more she looked at Luo Shang, the more furious she felt. Anxiously, she waved the teapot towards Luo Shang's head the moment she got angry.

With a shattering sound, fragments fell onto the ground. Blood flowed out of Luo Shang's forehead and viscously slid down the contours of her face.

She only felt her head grow dizzy as streaks of red and black light flickered before her eyes. Unknowingly, her body fell to the ground.

"Sister Qing Ning, this..." A dancer who saw Luo Shang fall, afraid that there would be trouble, immediately asked.

"It's fine, it's not like someone will die." Qing Ning shot a glance at the woman on the ground and fearlessly said.

It just so happened that at this time, someone reported from outside the door, "Ladies of West Garden, the Phoenix Dance of the Pearl Jade Platform is about to begin. Aunt is inviting the young ladies over."

Qing Ning looked at the unconscious Luo Shang on the ground and let out a cold laugh. She hooked her nails and intentionally lowered the ribbon in front of her chest.

Afterwards, amongst the people in the room, other than Luo Shang who was still lying motionlessly on the ground, all of them had disappeared, leaving the tightly shut door.

The room was completely silent. Not even the sound of the wind could be heard. The white training set up itself by her mother's sides and naturally scattered …

The woman was in a coma. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead. Within the vast expanse of white, she seemed to see that figure again, tall and blurry.

Stopping in the white space of the dream, she followed close behind the man.

"Who are you?"

The man had lost an arm, and his body was covered in red bruises. He walked forward with great difficulty, step by step.

His remaining hand was still tightly gripping the treasured blade in his hand. There was a huge word engraved on it, 'Mu'.

The man seemed to hear her and stopped, but he did not look back.

"Are you hurt? What happened to your hand? "

Luo Shang's eyes trembled as she looked at the man not far in front of him. His body was enduring the pain with great difficulty, as if she would collapse at any moment.

Just as the man was about to turn around, Luo Shang saw his face turn towards her little by little. And at that moment, when the man's face could be seen clearly …

Suddenly, a gale arose and white smoke filled the air, stirring up the fallen leaves and causing them to fly into the air.

The silhouette of the man that was about to be revealed on the side of his face gradually disappeared with the wind.

Luo Shang chased after the figure that flew further and further away. She did her utmost to clearly see that man's face.

"Don't go …" "Tell me, who are you?"

In the end, she did not get the answer she wanted.

The only thing left behind for her was a vast expanse of emptiness.

"No …."

Following the shout, the woman on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. She stared at the curtain above her in a daze. It turned out that … It was a dream.

However, there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

"You're awake?"

Hearing the voice, Luo Shang turned around. Separated by the white cloth, she saw a woman's figure wandering around the table.

Seeing that she had woken up, the woman poured a cup of tea and walked over.

The white curtain was gently lifted by her, and a calm and mature face gradually surfaced in front of Luo Shang's eyes.

Seeing her looking at her, the woman laughed, walked to the side, supported Luo Shang who was eager to get up, and gave her a teacup.

The woman saw that she didn't move and didn't have any expression on her face. She deliberately smiled and said, "Don't worry, I wouldn't do something so sinister as poison."

Hearing her words, Luo Shang actually also laughed softly. She received the teacup, and gracefully took a sip before putting it down.

She really didn't know when she had become so sensitive and suspicious.

"My name is Su Qing. Since you have come to the West Garden, naturally, you will not consider yourself as an imperial concubine. I will call you Luo Shang, do you mind? " Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked her.

From her appearance, he could tell that she was very young and that she was not even twenty-five. With a single glance, he could tell that she was capable and steady. Her appearance was also very dignified. Although she couldn't be considered to be a peerless beauty, she was still quite unique.

The hair on his head was tied up in a high bun. Other than the long and thin white hairpin, there was nothing else that could be modified.

From the way she walked over, no matter how you looked at it, it didn't seem like the footsteps of a dancer. However, when the woman walked out, she looked extremely beautiful, without any flaws.

"From the looks of it, you don't seem to be very talkative. I'll just take it as a tacit agreement. Hehe …" Su Qing joked as she squinted her eyes.

This lady must not know about the matter of him being abandoned by Leng Shaoyu, otherwise she wouldn't have saved him. Luo Shang shook her head as she thought.

"Thank you for saving me today, I'm afraid I am unable to repay you for your kindness." On Luo Shang's tall and straight nose, there were two eyes that looked down on all life and death in the world. That personality of being at ease when you were in a situation, actually caused Su Qing, who was at the side, to change the topic.

"You don't have to thank me. However … I think your desire to survive is very small. What, is there anything that makes you despair? " She looked at Luo Shang and saw her dark eyes.

Su Qing immediately smiled and said: "Since you don't wish to speak, then naturally, I won't ask any further. This wound on your side, is it them? "

Listening to her words, only then did Luo Shang reach out her hand to touch the band around her head. She felt a sharp pain on her forehead, and could faintly smell the fragrance of a few medicinal herbs.

She nodded.

"You have just entered the West Garden, there are still a lot of things that you don't know, and it is unavoidable that they would make things difficult for you. "Since you dare to say that I saved you today, it can be said that we are fated to do so. In that case, why don't we support each other and look out for each other in the future?"
