The queen was stunned when she first saw Tao Yao. This saint was indeed very beautiful, even more beautiful than the most beautiful concubine Rong.
"Saints don't need to be polite. Your Majesty has said that anyone other than me and your majesty who sees the saints and siblings must kneel down and bow down. Just nod when they see me."
The queen smiled and nodded. She had heard all the deeds of this saint, and knew that she was indeed a useful saint who had saved His Majesty's life and had made great achievements in the court.
What's more, I'm old enough to be the mother of this saint, so why would I embarrass a little girl?
"The Queen is virtuous and virtuous. I quite like the Queen. I just look at her eyes that are red. Are you afraid that she has any grievances?"
Tao Yao asked with concern. She knew what was going on in the harem, and she also knew how much injustice the queen had suffered because of Concubine Rong.
Isn’t that what harem fights are all about?
"There is nothing wrong with me. The saint is really quick-thinking."
The queen's eyes averted for a moment, then she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled.
"Queen, please tell me clearly whether there is any abnormal person in the harem. You have also heard about my abilities. If you need any help, you can talk to me."
Tao Yao looked around, and she could vaguely smell the smell of the peach blossom sign. It must be that Concubine Rong often came to pay her respects and left her scent here.
Peach Blossom Lots, as the name suggests, can bring enough luck to the owner and keep him young and beautiful forever.
"The Saint should assist His Majesty in the previous court, rather than get involved in matters in the harem. I know that you are indeed capable, otherwise His Majesty would not pay so much attention to your siblings. In this case, the Saint's energy is not needed. It’s wasted by these harem fights.”
The queen accepted Tao Yao's kindness, but the affairs in the harem were just jealousy among some women, and it was really not worth the trouble that the saint had to go through.
No matter what was wrong, after so many years, Concubine Rong was still quite popular with His Majesty. She had accepted it numbly, so what else could she do?
"The Queen is indeed a carefree person, but the more sensible she is, the more she will be let down. Don't you think about it seriously?"
Taoyao looked around carefully, and she smelled these scents keenly, which meant that Concubine Rong had come many times. Is she afraid that every time she came, she would make the queen feel sick?
While Taoyao was talking to the queen, Lu Chen stood quietly aside, but at this moment he felt a little uneasy for no reason.
What my sister said last night was already quite strange. Who will you meet when you come here today? Concubine Rong?
"Actually, the saint must be well aware of this. I believe that the saint does not need to waste too much thought on these jealousy matters in the harem. I will take good care of the harem."
The Queen smiled again and shook her head. In fact, she was just a beautiful concubine who was loved by His Majesty. However, His Majesty was still wise and powerful, and did not indulge in beauty too much. He managed the government well.
In this case, she had nothing to say. She was the queen, so she naturally had to tolerate the existence of every concubine.
Since Concubine Rong is also honest and has done nothing wrong by him, then she should be more tolerant in her self-examination.
"Your Majesty is kind-hearted," Taoyao smiled, "I brought my younger brother here today to see the Queen. If nothing happens, we and I will leave first. If the Queen needs any help, please feel free to do so. Have someone go to Xuanji Palace to find us!"
Taoyao was quite polite to the queen. In fact, she could see that the queen was a virtuous and virtuous queen. It was good that she could tolerate Concubine Rong's existence for so many years.
"Um."
The queen nodded and looked at Taoyao with a little more affection.
To be honest, when she heard the news about the saint, her first reaction was that she was afraid that His Majesty would relapse into his old habits. But after asking about the saint's deeds, she did not dare to insult the saint with such thoughts. .
When I saw this saint today, although she looked like a little girl, she was quite polite in what she said and did. She really liked her.
"I think the Queen is very nice. She looks gentle and kind. However, Fengyi Palace seems a bit deserted. It seems that Your Majesty doesn't come here often!"
Taoyao and Lu Chen walked slowly along the palace road, taking a look here and strolling there.
The palace people passing by all bowed and knelt down one after another when they saw them. Looking at the two of them, they knew that this was the saint and the saint's younger brother whom His Majesty trusted the most.
"Um."
Lu Chen thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
"Didn't my sister say that there is a very beautiful Concubine Rong in the harem? Maybe His Majesty is attracted to Concubine Rong?"
Lu Chen thought that was what happened.
"What? You also know that men only like beautiful women? If there is a girl who is more beautiful than me in the future, will all your heart be transferred to the beautiful girl?"
Tao Yao turned her head and teased Lu Chen curiously. She naturally knew that Lu Chen didn't have so many evil thoughts, but she still couldn't help but want to tease him.
"certainly not!"
Lu Chen was indeed anxious and shook his head quickly, fearing that his sister would misunderstand.
"I like my sister, definitely not because of her beautiful face, but because of the feeling of being with her. We have been dependent on each other for so many years, and no one can replace these feelings."
Lu Chen's every word was extremely solemn.
"Really?" Tao Yao continued to tease him, "What if I were hurt and disfigured that day, would you be afraid?"
"If that's the case, I will draw exactly the same wounds on your body, so that you and I are the same."
Lu Chen blinked and thought for a while before answering seriously.
He really intends to do this. He will be like his sister.
"What a fool!"
Taoyao raised the corners of her lips and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that even though she has kept Lu Chen by her side for so long, the nature of this yandere has not changed, but has been suppressed temporarily.
"Let's go to the south and have a look!"
Tao Yao grabbed Lu Chen's hand and walked towards the south. After a few steps, she saw a beauty.
Taoyao felt that Lu Chen's body had become stiff. She had no choice but to go through this day.
Lu Chen recognized the woman in front of him. Although her appearance had changed a lot, he would always remember the mole in the corner of her eye.
"This slave has seen the saint!"
Yue Xiang, who was beside Lu Wange, quickly knelt down and saluted. His Majesty had said that except for your Majesty and the Queen, everyone else must salute when they see the saint.
Lu Wange nodded slightly as a salute. Her attention was all on Taoyao. Looking at such a young and beautiful face, she felt really sour in her heart.
Although she looks very beautiful now, at this age, she is just a false shell.
And the little girl in front of me is a truly beautiful peach blossom.
Taoyao waved her hand to wake up the kneeling Yuexiang, "Is this the famous Concubine Rong?"
"That's what the saint said."
Lu Wange nodded. Although he was very annoying, he still couldn't help but look at Taoyao's face.
For so many years, she has cared deeply about her own face and the faces of others. Beauty is a hurdle that she will never be able to overcome in her life.
"This is my younger brother. Does your Majesty think he looks familiar?"
Taoyao got straight to the point and brought the topic to Lu Chen. Lu Chen, who was still a little emotional just now, became calm again.
Taoyao knew that Lu Chen must have recognized him just now, but was he so calm?
"What does the saint mean by this?"
Lu Wange glanced at Lu Chen casually. If he hadn't noticed it just now, now that he saw those eyes, the past and future events were flooding back to him.
Even though she can't remember the child's appearance, she still clearly remembers the child's eyes. Every time she beat and scolded the child, she would stare at her tightly with these eyes.
Horrible, really terrible!
She really felt that this child was here to collect debts. If she took the child with her, she didn't know how terrible things would happen in the future!
So I made a prompt decision and abandoned the child in that village.
"You, you are?"
Lu Wange stretched out his hand tremblingly, pointed at Lu Chen and asked, his heart beating violently, could it really be him?
No! impossible!
There is absolutely no way he could appear here!
When she abandoned the child in the mountain village, she had guessed that it would not end well. She would rather the child really died in the village!
But why did he appear here now? Why did he appear in front of her alive again? Did he want to come here to collect debt again?
"it's me."
Lu Chen looked into Lu Wange's eyes and clearly saw fear in his eyes.
"Mother, what's going on?"
Yuexiang helped Lu Wange, but Lu Wange was trembling with fear and almost couldn't stand still.
She looked at Lu Chen curiously, but didn't see anything wrong. Isn't the boy in black in front of her the saint's younger brother?
"It's nothing, go back quickly."
Lu Wange covered her heart with her hand and took a deep breath. She didn't want to stay here anymore, she didn't want to see the person in front of her, and she didn't want to recall those unbearable things in the past!
"What are you thinking?"
Seeing Lu Wange's fleeing back, Tao Yao looked sarcastic. After enjoying a life of fine clothing and fine food in the palace for so many years, had she ever thought about her own child?
Now even if I really see my child, I am so scared that I run away. How guilty do I feel?
"No idea."
Lu Chen answered truthfully. He was quite curious at first. His sister often mentioned what Concubine Rong meant. But now that he knew the truth, he was no longer curious.
I just sighed, why is that woman getting more and more beautiful, but this has nothing to do with him, he doesn't care at all.
Taoyao held Lu Chen's hand and continued walking slowly. Thanks to her keeping Lu Chen by her side for so many years, all the resentment in his heart had dissipated a lot.
You must know that after Lu Chen found Lu Wange in the original world, he directly killed her with his own hands. He committed the murder of his mother, and naturally he could not be tolerated by the world.
But Lu Chen's body was full of poison, and everyone hated and feared him. In the end, Lu Chen committed suicide because he didn't know what the meaning of life was. This life would be bitter after all.
"Actually, I brought you to the capital and the palace just for this matter. What I owe you must be paid back. I know you don't care about this, but don't worry, I will help you finish it."
Taoyao smiled sweetly, that was the meaning of her coming into this world.
