"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that my face is ruined and will never get better. Even though Your Majesty doesn't have much affection for me, I have been by your side for so long. Do you really want to be ruthless and unkind to me? ?”
Concubine Ning reacted quickly and was still kneeling on the ground, tugging at Emperor Xuan's clothes and crying in grievance.
Now that her face has become like this, someone must also pay the price!
Tao Yao just stood aside and watched the show in a funny manner. It seemed that the people in the harem were really like that, they were just jealous.
His face was so rotten, but he still wanted to sing along with the queen, so he must pour dirty water on himself.
Just think that she had misjudged Concubine Ning.
Emperor Xuan frowned and felt a little embarrassed. He personally helped Concubine Ning up and asked the palace servants to help her sit on the bed.
Even though her face was ruined like this, it was a bit uncomfortable to see Concubine Ning crying in front of him with such aggrieved and desperate look.
He has always been tolerant towards women, not to mention that Concubine Ning has always been gentle and dignified in his impression.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask someone to search Concubine Ning's Palace? Didn't the Queen search my residence just now? Then we will also search here to see if we can find anything. Maybe we will know about Concubine Ning. How did the concubine’s face get ruined like this?”
Taoyao really had no desire to watch people acting. The Queen and Concubine Ning knew who the real culprit was.
"Your Majesty, you usually dote on Concubine Rong, but at a time like this, do you still want to let her do whatever she wants?"
The queen's heart tightened. She always felt that Tao Yao was acting like this. It was a bit inexplicable. She couldn't let her succeed no matter what. What if something was really found?
"Your Majesty, the injury on Concubine Ning's face is indeed very serious. Finding the real culprit is the best comfort for her."
Taoyao spoke softly, and a faint peach-pink light flashed in her eyes when she looked at Emperor Xuan.
Sure enough, Emperor Xuan, who was hesitating the next second, nodded slightly and waved his hand to let the palace people search.
The queen was really desperate and helpless. It seemed that as long as Tao Yao was around, she would be as unwelcome as an outsider. She could not say ten words compared to Tao Yao's one sentence.
I hope nothing comes up in the search.
Concubine Ning was sitting by the bed with her head lowered and she had no idea. Her Majesty and the Queen came in a hurry, and the things in the house were not cleaned properly, but they probably couldn't find anything.
And Tao Yao has been waiting quietly. How could he not find the poison he prepared?
Sure enough, in the next second, someone hurried over holding a small box. When they came, they also brought the imperial doctor over for examination. Sure enough, it was the poison stained on the mouth of the teapot.
"I asked why things were so strange. The good-looking Concubine Ning came over and said she wanted to drink tea with me. She said she must watch me drink the cup of tea. I also felt it was very strange, so I covered it with my sleeves. There was no real entrance.”
Tao Yao smiled and looked at Concubine Ning who was sitting by the bed with a face full of despair, "I didn't drink the tea you asked me to drink. Instead, you drank the poison you administered yourself, and your face turned into a mess." In this case, the real person to blame is yourself!"
Taoyao felt that she was telling the truth. She was not a cruel person and would not take the initiative to harm others, but she would not let others bully her either.
If I were not a goblin, I might really have been plotted by Concubine Ning, so thinking of this, I felt that there was nothing to be soft-hearted about.
"No, that's not the case at all! It's you who is slandering me! How could I possibly make my own face look like this? How is this possible?"
Concubine Ning shouted helplessly that she had indeed prepared the poison, but she definitely did not put the poison outside her palace, and she did not know how those people searched it out.
What's more important is that Tao Yao has now thrown the matter onto herself in a few words, and His Majesty loves her so much, so he will definitely believe that Yu is on her side, so wouldn't his face be ruined in vain?
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is really strange. What Concubine Rong said is really ridiculous. A woman's appearance is so important. Concubine Ning will never harm herself like this. There must be a hidden secret in it. !”
The queen hurriedly came out to speak, fearing that if she didn't come out to speak again, she would let Tao Yao talk nonsense.
Now it seems that dirty water can no longer be poured on her. The chess piece Ning Fei is completely useless, this useless waste!
"The Queen's words are really funny. What happened in the harem is because you were not good at discipline, but you still wanted to pour dirty water on me. Now you have found evidence with Concubine Ning but you don't admit it. I really don’t know what to say to you!”
After Tao Yao finished speaking, she shook her head helplessly, feeling really unreasonable.
She glanced at Concubine Ning, who was crying in despair. She was afraid that her face would never get better in this life, and she would only be a discarded chess piece in the future. Would she not regret doing this in the future?
"That's enough! Stop arguing!"
Emperor Xuan said angrily, there was always a trace of boredom in his eyebrows. He was really tired of these trivial things in the harem, listening to several women arguing endlessly.
The fact that he hugged Tao Yao already represented his attitude, and he would be on Tao Yao's side no matter what.
"Concubine Rong is right, you are the queen, you did not manage the affairs of the harem well, and brought all these matters to me, you really did not do your duty!
And Concubine Ning, who caused the injury on your face? I’m afraid you know it very well. Stop pretending to act in front of me. I don’t want to see it at all! "
As soon as Emperor Xuan finished speaking, he hugged Tao Yao and left, not only because he was under the spell of charm, but because he was tired of all this from the bottom of his heart and really didn't want to get involved in these things.
"His Majesty?"
Before the queen could react, Emperor Xuan had already taken Tao Yao away. Looking at the two of them leaving, she suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
I felt that everything I had carefully prepared seemed to be ignored by the other party.
These were rejected with a few light words. Even if things got to this point today, it seemed to be of no use.
"It seems that I have really underestimated His Majesty's preference for Concubine Rong. Even if your face is rotten like this, do you think His Majesty will look at you more? In his opinion, everything is not as happy and angry as Concubine Rong. Sadness and joy are important, I’m afraid your face will be ruined in vain!”
The words the queen said were cold and mean. She had always been like this. When she felt uncomfortable, she would always take it out on others.
The current Concubine Ning was just a completely useless chess piece to her, and she found it unpleasant no matter how she looked at her.
"The queen must save me! Maybe my face can be cured. All this is her conspiracy. The queen must help me take revenge!"
Concubine Ning knelt on the ground again, grabbing the queen's sleeves and begging bitterly. She had nothing now, her face was ruined, what confidence would she have in the future?
She had seen all this just now. Apart from his preference for Taoyao to speak for her, His Majesty had no other emotions, not even the slightest bit of distress.
"You should be glad that His Majesty did not punish you, otherwise you would definitely be in more pain than you are now!"
The queen took a step back and retracted her sleeves, and said coldly and sarcastically that there was no need to look down upon a chess piece that had been used up.
"I will never keep useless people around me. Look at what you are like now. There will be a chance to get up again in the future. You should take care of yourself!"
After leaving a few words, the queen turned and left. She has never been a good person, and anyone who is useless to her should be abandoned!
Concubine Ning collapsed on the ground crying in despair. She was keenly aware that her whole life had been ruined. What else could she do in the future?
I really hate Tao Yao, I hate how careless she is in front of him, I hate that she can get so much favor from His Majesty, I hate that she makes me look like this!
what to do? What else can be done now?
The little Jing Zhao stayed in the room and was so anxious that he almost cried.
He hasn't received any news yet, but he is really afraid that something will happen to Taoyao, and then the only person in the world who can protect him will be gone.
He no longer had much of an impression of his mother. There was such a beautiful woman protecting him in this life. Although it was inexplicable at first, now as time has passed, he has become accustomed to her presence.
Every time, I would sincerely feel worried for Tao Yao, just like at this moment, the tears could not help but flow out drop by drop.
Maybe it was because the child was still very young that the tears flowed so quickly.
He couldn't imagine that if something happened to Taoyao at the hands of the queen, he would definitely repeat his fate in his previous life and be treated as the queen's puppet, then kill her and then commit suicide to escape this fate.
When he heard footsteps outside, Jing Zhao wiped the tears on his face. When he saw the person coming in, a big smile appeared on his face, and he ran over and threw himself into Taoyao's arms.
"I said I would come back, you don't have to worry about me, I'm so awesome!"
As soon as Taoyao came back, she felt a child throwing herself into her arms, smiling and patting his head, comforting him gently.
"Don't be afraid. All things are nothing to me. Just stay by my side peacefully. As long as I am here in this life, you will grow up healthily and happily."
Yes, the reason why I came to this world is that as long as I don't repeat the fate of the last time, it will be fine.
Jing Zhao shrank into Taoyao's arms. Hearing these gentle and comforting words, he felt himself crying even harder.
Although he has memories of his previous life, he is still a five or six-year-old child now, and all his emotions are expressed so naturally.
Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh.
Taoyao took Jing Zhao's hand and sat on the chair above, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face.
"You have to know that the harem is never a quiet place. Even if it seems quiet, there is a lot of turmoil behind the scenes. If you are not careful, you will fall into other people's plans."
Tao Yao sighed, feeling that the endless calculations were boring.
"Don't trust anyone but me, otherwise you will hurt yourself at any time, remember?"
Tao Yao looked into Jing Zhao's eyes and warned her carefully that what happened last time was still vivid in her mind, but she must not let any accidents happen again.
"Can't even my father believe it?"
Jing Zhao suddenly asked.
"Of course I can't believe it. If I could believe it, how could he be willing to throw you into the cold palace? You are not the only son of him, and you are not unique to him."
