Xu Shengsheng put one hand on her waist and pointed her other hand angrily at the black cloud.

"Why? Am I so popular that even you, a black cloud, have fallen in love with me? I advise you to leave quickly. I don't like you. I only like auspicious clouds."

"Who would like a stinky black cloud like you?"

"The ghost lingers!"

Xu Shengsheng watched the dark clouds above her head gradually dissipate and thought that her words had worked.

He was secretly pleased with himself and clapped his hands, preparing to leave.

The black cloud suddenly gathered into a ball again.

"Rumble--"

There was a loud bang above his head, and a bolt of lightning struck Xu Shengsheng -

The lightning struck from her fingertips to her entire body!

Xu Shengsheng was immediately chopped to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside!

His hair stood up and his body was pitch black. He even gave off a pungent smell of burning...

Black smoke came out of both nostrils, and Xu Shengsheng threw himself forward, lying face down on the ground.

"boom--"

Another deafening thunder!

Lei ripped open the clothes on his back, revealing blood and flesh inside, with thick smoke billowing out.

Xu Shengsheng's head was tilted on the ground.

"belch……"

Spewing out a layer of black smoke from her mouth, she complained in grief and anger: "What is going on..."

[-1000 favorability penalty: Thunderbolt. ]

[Xu Shengsheng: ...Is it -1000 so soon? ]

[You just spent 700 points on credit, and your debt is -1050. ]

【Xu Shengsheng: ……】

She got into debt just to escape for her life... wuwuwu...

Now I have to accept some shocking punishment.

Xu Shengsheng couldn't help but feel sorry for herself. She was simply the most unlucky time-traveling woman in history.

[Xu Shengsheng: How long will it strike me? ]

She learned her lesson and no longer dared to point at the black clouds.

[One month. You will be punished by thunder from time to time, the number of times is uncertain. During the punishment period, black clouds will appear, and only you can see the existence of the black clouds. When it rains, the effect of thunder will be doubled. ]

【Xu Shengsheng: So...】

So today being a rainy day, her punishment was doubled.

Before I could say what I wanted to say, another bolt of lightning struck overhead.

Xu Shengsheng rolled her eyes and was about to faint from the pain.

But her eyes rolled back, but she didn't feel dizzy.

What’s going on? She was struck by three lightning bolts, which even the gods in heaven couldn’t withstand. How could she still be awake?

Xu Shengsheng wanted to cry but had no tears.

She questioned the "halo of the heroine" in her mind.

【Xu Shengsheng: Why didn’t I faint? !】

[Because the "Heroine's Halo" is blessing you. ]

【Xu Shengsheng: ……】

Sick, right?

The power of this "heroine halo" doesn't need to be used in the right way. It would be fine even if her beauty value was maxed out to make her the most beautiful woman in the world... I just think about how to punish her all day long.

Where is the promised "halo of the heroine"? Where is the promised heroine?

Not honest at all!

Xu Shengsheng dug her fingers into the ground and gritted her teeth to endure the thunder punishment. It was not until she was struck by nine lightning bolts that the black cloud finally dissipated from her head.

She struggled to get up from the ground, but after trying for a long time, her body only moved a little.

When I was feeling dejected.

A slender figure holding an umbrella was walking towards her step by step in the rain.

Xu Shengsheng looked at the pair of white boots embroidered with gold thread splashing water on the rain-soaked ground. The owner of the shoes was getting closer and closer to her.

She looked up along the boots, and saw a white jade pendant hanging around the man's waist. She looked up again... the rain hit her eyes, and she couldn't see clearly. Xu Shengsheng rubbed her eyes, and her eyes were blurred into a slit, and she looked at the man carefully.

The man was wearing an indigo green robe, had an upright posture, sword-like brows and cold eyes, and had a noble temperament.

He was half squatting, but he did not move the umbrella in his hand to Xu Shengsheng's head like a gentleman.

Seeing her miserable state, the man looked sternly at her blackened face and said with certainty, "You are Xu Shengsheng."

Xu Shengsheng's face was dark, with only a pair of big eyes rolling around.

She looked at the face in front of her, but couldn't remember who he was.

"You escaped from the palace."

When Xu Shengsheng heard his words, she thought he was here to take her back. She looked at the man in front of her with vigilance: "You, what do you want?"

The man smiled and said softly, "Please have a cup of tea."

……

On the lake, on the boat.

Dengzhi held the umbrella so hard that his hands cramped, but he never moved the umbrella away from Liang Tan's head.

She listened to Liang Tan's words, and her heart was beating fast: "Miss, where do you think she would go? She is guilty of deceiving the world and stealing the reputation in the daytime, which is a capital crime. She even sneaked out of the palace at night, which is a crime on top of a crime... If she escapes to another place, it will be ok. Even if she is caught and brought back to the Liang Mansion, she can shirk it. If she returns to Jiangnan City now, it will bring great trouble to the Liang Mansion."

"Miss, should we stop her from returning to Jiangnan City..."

A smile appeared on Liang Tan's lips, but it didn't reach his eyes. Liang Tan's glass of wine was empty, so she poured herself a new glass: "Be patient."

"Miss, do you have any solution?"

Liang Tan replied to Deng Zhi generously: "No."

"That lady..." How can she still sit still?

Liang Tan saw through her thoughts at a glance. This little girl's thoughts were written all over her face: "Someone is more anxious than us."

"Who?" Dengzhi moved his sore wrist, "Who is more anxious than us? Is it the Queen's people? Or the Imperial Concubine's people?"

Liang Tan listened to the little girl's series of questions and said coldly, "Neither."

Liang Tan rarely acted like a superior master in front of her. Instead, he taught her how to read and write. Over time, her relationship with Liang Tan became closer, and she became less restrained when speaking to him.

Dengzhi pursed her lips, and squatted beside Liang Tan with the umbrella in her other hand. Even though she changed her posture, she did not forget to hold the umbrella over Liang Tan's head. She said to Liang Tan coquettishly, "Miss, please don't keep me in suspense. Satisfy my curiosity and tell me..."

Liang Tan turned her face slightly, raised her hand and pinched Dengzhi's chubby cheek, then pulled her body towards her, and whispered a name in her ear.

Dengzhi listened and suddenly her eyes widened.

"Miss, you said this person is... His Royal Highness Prince Zhao?"

"I heard that this prince rarely goes out, so why would he suddenly get involved in Xu Shengsheng's affairs..."

Dengzhi still couldn't believe her ears. She began to speculate boldly: "Could there be something else going on here? Could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao has some leverage over Xu Shengsheng? But that's impossible. The capital is far away from Jiangnan. Besides, Xu Shengsheng is just a concubine's daughter. No matter how charming she is, she can't charm His Royal Highness Prince Zhao who is far away in the capital, right?"

Dengzhi scratched her head, she still felt that this matter did not make sense.

"Miss, you guessed wrong, didn't you?"

Liang Tan shook his head gently: "No."

If she remembered correctly, His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Chenguang, the eldest son of Imperial Noble Consort Li Lan, was also one of Xu Shengsheng's admirers.

In the previous life, after King Zhao heard about Xu Shengsheng's brilliant performance at the Spring Banquet, although he had never seen Xu Shengsheng in person, he inexplicably added a layer of filter to her in his heart.

But because his father was a romantic man who only loved his mother in his entire life, and often instilled in his brothers and sisters the idea of ​​"only loving one person in your entire life"; he had a wife and was the eldest son of the emperor, a strong contender for the throne, so naturally he could not easily reveal his love for Xu Shengsheng.

So King Zhao, who never left his house, painted portrait of Xu Shengsheng one after another in his mansion, and missed the fairy every day by looking at the portraits.

Later, a good opportunity came. When his father was seriously ill, he was named the crown prince and took over the government.

Prince Zhao found a perfect opportunity to express his feelings to Xu Shengsheng, but Xu Shengsheng was shaken. After all, marrying Prince Zhao meant becoming the future queen.

While Xu Shengsheng and Li Ruo were in love, she was secretly communicating with King Zhao. But somehow, not long after, Xu Shengsheng suddenly rejected King Zhao and gave him a nice guy card.

After being rejected by Xu Shengsheng, King Zhao couldn't bear the blow and locked himself in his mansion, refusing to see anyone. He even gave up the position of crown prince that he had been waiting for for many years.

Later, King Zhao suddenly died at home, holding Xu Shengsheng's portrait before his death.

……

In her previous life, Liang Tan didn’t know the details. She even felt that King Zhao was deeply in love with her, but it was a pity that he was not destined to be with his beloved woman.

In this life, she just felt that King Zhao was sick.

And there is a serious illness.

I fell deeply in love with Xu Shengsheng even before I met her, and my love for her came out of nowhere.

But this time, she wants to help His Royal Highness Prince Zhao.

Who makes her the best person in the world?

"Tsk." Liang Tan couldn't help laughing when he thought of King Zhao's bitter face.

Deng Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked at the smile on Liang Tan's face: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Liang Tan noticed that Dengzhi's hand holding the umbrella trembled. She silently took the umbrella from Dengzhi's hand and put it beside her legs.

Dengzhi watched the umbrella being taken away and Liang Tan's hair being wet by the rain again, so she hurriedly picked up the umbrella and held it for her.

"Miss, you've been caught in the rain. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Liang Tan grabbed her hand and smiled at her: "I'm not that weak."

Liang Tan seemed to remember something, and she said, "If you are afraid of the rain, just play."

After saying that, Liang Tan took the initiative to open the umbrella and held it over Dengzhi's head.

Deng Zhi held her breath. She looked at the umbrella above her head, then stared at Liang Tan's cold face. Her blushing face was filled with astonishment: "Miss..."

"Your hands are sore, let me hold them."

"Ah? No!" Dengzhi reacted and tried to snatch the umbrella handle from Liang Tan's hand: "Young lady is a princess, and I am just a servant. How can I let Young lady hold an umbrella for me..."

Liang Tan's slightly cool hand held hers at the right time. A rare tenderness appeared in her indifferent eyes. Liang Tan said softly: "People are not divided into three, six, nine classes."

"But Miss, when you were teaching your mistress a lesson in Ripple Garden, didn't you say that the master is the noble and the slave is the humble..."

"Two different things."

"How can they be two different things? The concubine is a slave, and Dengzhi is also a slave. Is there any difference? Or... Miss, are you partial to me?" When she said the last sentence, Dengzhi smiled with a naughty face of a little girl.

"Miss, is that true? You don't treat me as a slave? Does that mean that my status in your heart is different?"

Liang Tan listened to her endless chatter, and waited until she finished. Liang Tan said helplessly: "Which servant can talk as much as you?"

Liang Tan held the umbrella for Deng Zhi without moving his hand. Deng Zhi listened to Liang Tan's words and looked at Liang Tan's hand holding the umbrella. She was instantly moved. Deng Zhi's eyes were sore and she suddenly cried, "Miss, you are so good to me."

Liang Tan didn't expect that her gesture of holding an umbrella would move her, and... she didn't know how to comfort this crying little girl.

If it were in her previous life, she would definitely rub the little girl's face and coax her a few words.

But she had experienced too much, and her heart had long been as cold as an iceberg, so she was incapable of performing such a genuine and warm gesture.

Liang Tan frowned, but she finally patted Deng Zhi's face and smiled at him as much as possible: "Don't cry."

Deng Zhi rubbed her eyes. She still tried to take the umbrella from Liang Tan: "Miss, let me do it. It's tiring to hold an umbrella."

Liang Tan shook his head gently: "No problem, when I get tired, you can hold the umbrella for me."

Seeing that the young lady was determined, Dengzhi had no choice but to accept it.

She stared at Liang Tan's eyes with a sharp gaze, as if she wanted to engrave her eyes in her heart.

Liang Tan glanced at the wine jug, and Dengzhi quickly turned around and ran into the cabin to get Liang Tan a brand new wine jug and refill her glass with new wine.

Looking at the new wine in the glass, Liang Tan looked at the other empty glass and asked with a smile, "Would you like to try it?"

Climbing on the branch, it shakes like a rattle.

When she was little, she often saw her father bringing back wine every now and then. She was very curious, so when her father went to the night watch, she secretly tasted the wine that her father had not finished drinking...

She still remembers the burning sensation. She even passed out after drinking one glass, and when she woke up the next day, her mind was fuzzy and she had a splitting headache...

...So, she has no interest in alcohol.

I also can't understand why both Dad and Miss like to drink.

Liang Tan's eyes were fixed on Dengzhi's face. She looked at the little girl's face full of rejection and said, "What if I really want you to drink it?"

"Miss……"

"You don't want to drink?"

Liang Tan's words successfully made her look sad.

Dengzhi looked at the empty wine glass on the small table, hesitated for a moment, and decided to pick up the glass to pour himself some wine.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the wine jug, Liang Tan stopped her.

Dengzhi looked at Liang Tan with a puzzled look.

Liang Tan put down the wine pot, looked at Deng Zhi's face, and smiled a little deeper: "I was just scaring you."

Dengzhi yelled coquettishly: "Miss! You are bullying me!"

"Who knew you were so obedient?"

"Of course, if the lady asks me to go through fire and water, I will go."

"Yeah." Liang Tan nodded, and she turned the topic back to business: "What kind of person do you think King Zhao is?"

Deng Zhi hadn't recovered from Liang Tan's teasing her to drink. She first uttered an "ah" in a trance, and then answered Liang Tan's question seriously: "Your Highness Prince Zhao?"

Dengzhi shook his head.

How could she know His Royal Highness Prince Zhao? What is His Royal Highness Prince Zhao's identity? What is her identity...

She only knew that Prince Zhao was the eldest son of the Imperial Noble Consort and didn't like to go out, and there were some scattered rumors among the people.
