"I know."
She had already paid the price for today's impulsiveness.
It was more dangerous than she imagined, but it also allowed her to see the reality clearly.
"King Dingbei... seems to be unpopular with His Majesty." Tao Yaoyao remembered that he was fine when he entered the palace, but after going to the imperial study room, he looked worried.
And his wound was obviously not a normal tear, but more like...
"King Dingbei is your majesty's legitimate son, but because of the queen, your majesty has never liked him very much. After something happened to the Xie family, the queen begged King Dingbei to change his surname at the risk of death. From then on, your majesty was not cold towards him. Not indifferent, but in fact... there is no place for this son in my heart."
His biological son went to the border and was not summoned once for eight years. This is indeed not what a father who cares about his child can do.
And Xie Lan should also be resentful towards His Majesty.
"You know King Dingbei?" Marquis Ruyang asked.
"We have met several times. He just fainted outside the imperial study room, and I bandaged his wound." Tao Yaoyao realized the meaning of Ruyang Hou's words and explained, "He just came to pay me back." Of kindness.”
Marquis Ruyang did not answer the question, but reminded him meaningfully, "In the future, if possible, it is better to stay away from him."
Tao Yaoyao was a little confused as to why Marquis Ruyang said this.
From the conversation just now, she could tell that he was satisfied with Xie Lan, but why did he want to keep their distance? Is it because she was engaged?
"How is Third Young Master doing now?"
Speaking of his youngest son, Marquis Ruyang became visibly happy, "That boy was asking for something to eat as soon as he opened his eyes, but his mother remembered your instructions and just asked her servants to feed him some liquid food."
"You don't know how good this kid can eat, and he's also very impatient. He loses his temper when he can't eat."
"It's normal for children to be impatient." Tao Yaoyao said with a smile. She was already so old and would toss and turn if she couldn't eat what she wanted, let alone a child who didn't know how to hide her thoughts.
Mentioning the Third Young Master, the atmosphere in the carriage obviously improved. After the carriage reached the official road, the speed became obviously faster. Listening carefully, I felt that the wind outside the window was much louder, but not long after, shouts were heard not far away. There was a sound, and then the coachman stopped the carriage.
"Master Marquis, someone is calling us."
Ruyang Hou and Tao Yaoyao opened the curtain at the same time and looked out, and saw Eunuch Liu riding a horse and hurriedly coming here.
When he came to the carriage, he got off his horse and stepped forward to salute, "Master Marquis, Miss Tao, Your Majesty has ordered that the Zajia family should immediately take Miss Tao back to the palace."
What?
Marquis Ruyang frowned, "I told Your Majesty that I am still waiting for Miss Tao to go back and rescue me."
Tao Yaoyao was curious about what happened in the palace.
"Wang Meiren has been poisoned, and the entire hospital is helpless. Concubine Xian recommended Miss Tao." Eunuch Liu stepped forward and whispered.
It turned out to be her.
Tao Yaoyao looked at Ruyang Hou.
The Marquis of Ruyang was eager to save his son, but it was not easy for Tao Yaoyao to follow him to resist the decree because of his affairs. But what would happen to his youngest son if he did not take Tao Yaoyao back?
Moreover, Concubine Xian was clearly not well-intentioned when she recommended Tao Yaoyao at this time. If she were to let her go back just like that...
"I'll go take a look with you." Ruyang Hou thought about it again and again before making a decision.
"No, Marquis. Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem without being summoned by Your Majesty." Eunuch Liu reminded Marquis Ruyang. Seeing that Tao Yaoyao also looked worried, he added, "Your Majesty is worried about Beauty Wang."
The implication is that as long as the beauty of Wang is not in trouble, Concubine Xian's plan will not succeed.
But she didn't even know what kind of poison Xian Concubine was poisoned with. If she couldn't cure it, wouldn't it be... No, Xie Lan said that she was still useful to Xian Concubine and her son, and they would not kill them all at this time.
However, Concubine Xian still recommended her in front of His Majesty even though she knew that she had beaten the third prince, which was obviously not a good intention.
This trip might not kill her, but... it would be worse than death.
If Concubine Xian and her son appear when she is in a desperate situation and save her from danger...
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Marquis, but Eunuch Liu is right, you can't accompany me on this trip." Tao Yaoyao took out her purse, took out a porcelain bottle, and handed it to him, "This medicine lasts an hour. "If the Third Young Master has a fever in the middle of the night, use strong wine to cool it down. After daybreak, if the Third Young Master survives it, this calamity will be over."
Tao Yaoyao was still thinking about his A Bao's condition at this time. Ruyang Hou felt relieved but helpless.
How could such a good girl end up in such a family and such a marriage?
"Don't worry. If you haven't come back early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace with King Zhou to meet with the emperor." This was a promise Ruyang Marquis made to him.
And if he really wanted to do this, he would probably offend His Majesty.
Marquis Ruyang was willing to save his life, and she was very grateful for doing so, but... she was unwilling to accept this favor.
"My little daughter is overwhelmed by the good intentions of the Marquis. But don't worry, Marquis. My grandfather is still fighting the enemy at the border. I believe that your Majesty will not do anything to distract the ministers."
It was getting late, and after Tao Yaoyao left with Eunuch Liu, Marquis Ruyang got on the carriage again and left.
"Where's Yaoyao?"
At the gate of Prince Zhou's Mansion, when Princess Zhou learned that Marquis Ruyang was back, she thought that Tao Yaoyao had also come back. She rushed to the door immediately, but she only saw Marquis Ruyang getting off the carriage.
He suddenly became anxious, "Why, Your Majesty still refuses to let me go?"
Princess Zhou was impatient. Marquis Ruyang originally wanted to give the medicine to the servant first and then talk to her about it, but who knew that Princess Zhou had already begun to curse.
Partition walls have ears.
What's more, they are still talking about the current Saint.
Ruyanghou and Zhou Wang pulled her back to the palace.
"Beautiful Wang was poisoned. Concubine Xian said that Miss Tao had superb medical skills, so she recommended her to see Miss Wang. The whole hospital was at a loss as to what the poison was in Miss Wang, so Your Majesty asked Eunuch Liu to call Miss Tao back."
"This virtuous concubine has a bad heart at first sight."
Beauty Residence
His Majesty sat in front of Beauty Wang's bed anxiously. The servants and doctors were kneeling on the floor in the room. When Eunuch Liu came with Tao Yaoyao, they looked at them eagerly as if they had seen a savior. .
In her previous life, Tao Yaoyao had seen too many looks like this, so she stepped forward very calmly. When Eunuch Liu saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was afraid that Tao Yaoyao would be frightened by this formation and thus make His Majesty unhappy.
He is indeed a miracle doctor, and he is more courageous than ordinary people.
"Tao Yaoyao, come quickly and take a look at Beauty Wang. She was fine in the afternoon." His Majesty stood up and asked Tao Yaoyao to go over and check her pulse.
Tao Yaoyao was called over just as she was about to salute, so she came to the bed and began to diagnose Wang Meiren's pulse.
Strangely, her pulse looked like she was poisoned, sometimes slow and sometimes heavy, but if she moved her hand up a little, her pulse would be gentle again.
And this symptom is a symptom of normal people.
It is impossible for a person to have two pulse conditions, unless...
Tao Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but when she thought of Concubine Xian's plan, an intriguing look flashed across her eyes as bright as stars.
"Your Majesty's illness can be cured, but this method is my master's secret method, so..." Tao Yaoyao looked at His Majesty.
His Majesty was reluctant to leave at first, but after Eunuch Liu went over to persuade him, he was reluctant to leave.
"Okay, you all should retreat to the door. Don't disturb Miss Tao."
After everyone left, Tao Yaoyao came to the bed again and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has left. If you have anything to say, you can say it."
The person on the bed waited for a while before slowly opening her eyes. She first looked at Tao Yaoyao and smiled, then sat up and said, "You are indeed a miracle doctor, but why didn't you expose this beauty in front of His Majesty just now?"
"Because the queen has no ill intentions towards me."
If Wang Meiren sincerely tried to embarrass her, there were thousands of ways to pretend to be sick, but she chose the one that would make it easiest for her to detect clues.
However, Wang Meiren was not related to him. She knew that Concubine Xian wanted to use her to harm her, but she still reminded her that she had something to tell her.
"You should have guessed that my poisoning is related to Concubine Xian. She wants to harm more than just me. So now we are on the same boat. If you help me, you are helping yourself."
Tao Yaoyao remained silent.
Beauty Wang continued, "Don't worry, I won't take Concubine Xian's life, I just want her to pay a price."
Concubine Xian wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and Beauty Wang obviously didn't want to suffer this loss, so she thought of her.
Wang Meiren said that she was joining forces with her, but in fact, she just wanted to take advantage of her just like Concubine Xian.
And now that she was in the game, she couldn't help herself.
Beauty Wang also thought of this, so after saying these words, she continued without even waiting for her to speak, "When His Majesty comes in, you have to make this beauty's illness as serious as possible, and then ask me to find someone." Prove evidence that Concubine Xian was poisoned, and bring justice to this beauty."
She really wanted to take advantage of her.
"What if I refuse?" Tao Yaoyao said, "Didn't the empress say that we are in the same boat? If so, why did the empress only consider herself?"
"Today, I have offended the Concubine Xian and the Third Prince. If I pursue this matter again..."
"Don't you want to cancel the engagement? If you succeed in this matter, this beauty may be able to help you cancel the marriage."
Wang Meiren also has a son, but he is only eight years old this year. It is said that his qualifications are mediocre and not favored by His Majesty. But since he was born into the emperor's family, there should be no one who doesn't want that position.
How could she be sure that Wang Meiren was not using her to get the Chu family's thoughts?
"I can agree to your request, but I also have a request." Tao Yaoyao refused if he wanted her to stop this matter alone.
This beauty Wang seems to be soft and weak, but in fact she is much more thoughtful than Xian Fei. If she had to choose one person to cooperate between the two, she would rather choose Xian Fei.
However, Beauty Wang is like a poisonous scorpion. Once offended, there will be endless troubles.
So, after much thought, she came up with a compromise.
"You have to listen to what you say, but in the end whether this beauty agrees or not depends on whether I am happy or not."
