"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
Concubine Xian knelt in the room where the beauty lived, shouting that she was wronged, "Have you forgotten, your majesty, that the idea of recommending Tao Yaoyao to see a doctor for my sister came from me? If I really wanted to harm my sister, how could I do this?" thing."
"Your Majesty, someone must have deliberately framed me."
After Concubine Xian finished speaking, she looked at Tao Yaoyao with an unhappy expression, "Miss Tao, no matter what the third prince did wrong today, you didn't suffer any loss. Why are you so unwilling to forgive me?
Back then, I felt sorry for you, so I agreed to the general to let the third prince marry you.
Even if there are some conflicts between you, it's normal. This couple also fights at the end of the bed and makes peace at the end of the bed. What's more, you haven't had much contact in the past, and someone is instigating it.
As long as you and your majesty sincerely admit your mistakes regarding today's matter, your majesty will be generous and will definitely not argue with you. "
Concubine Xian really wanted her to be the scapegoat.
Fortunately, Zhang actually warned her in advance, otherwise, she would have had to shed her skin even if she didn't die.
"I don't understand what the empress is saying." Tao Yaoyao knelt aside and said in a deep voice, "The antidote was found from Chuxiu Palace, and the person Zhang Zhang identified was also the empress."
Concubine Xian was surprised. Wasn't the antidote found in Feiyun Palace?
"Miss Tao..."
"Is your Majesty trying to say that Miss Japan went to Chuxiu Palace today, and I hid the antidote at that time?" Tao Yaoyao interrupted her and continued, "Your Majesty said this, she probably didn't know that Zhang Sir, you found the antidote somewhere in Chuxiu Palace."
Tao Yaoyao looked at Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Concubine Xian, I found it from the side hall where the Concubine was resting."
What?
She had obviously sent the antidote to Feiyun Palace, but why did Zhang actually find the antidote in Chuxiu Palace?
Harming people will harm people for a long time.
Concubine Xian is the best example.
What else was she going to say? Wang Meiren woke up slowly and said, "Your Majesty..."
When His Majesty heard her voice, he no longer cared about Concubine Xian, turned around quickly, and carefully helped her stand up. Beauty Wang pretended to have just seen Concubine Xian, and asked in confusion, "Why is Concubine Xian here?"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty said in a cold voice what had just happened.
After hearing His Majesty's words, Wang Meiren's eyes turned red on the spot, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Concubine Xian is usually the best to me, so how could she hurt me.
Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding here? "
"The evidence is conclusive, is there any misunderstanding?" His Majesty saw that Wang Meiren was so kind. Now that the evidence was conclusive, he couldn't bear to believe that Concubine Xian really wanted to harm her, and he hated Concubine Xian even more.
"What are you doing kneeling here? Someone, come here, drag Concubine Xian out, beat her up thirty times, and put her in the cold palace."
For women in the harem, once they enter the cold palace, it is more difficult to get out than to ascend to heaven.
The Queen is the best example.
No, she has been planning for many years, and she must not fall short just because of this incident.
"Let me go..." Concubine Xian struggled and refused to leave. Just when His Majesty became angry and prepared to punish her severely, the third prince hurried in.
"Father, please spare my mother and concubine this time. She also feels sorry for her son, so she did such a stupid thing."
The third prince knelt on the ground, kowtowed as hard as he could, and begged for the virtuous concubine.
Beauty Wang leaned in His Majesty's arms and watched all this with cold eyes. Just when Tao Yaoyao thought that Beauty Wang would definitely hit Concubine Xian to the bottom this time, she said, "Your Majesty, look how anxious the three princes are. Okay, let’s forget about it.”
"Besides, isn't my concubine okay?"
At first, His Majesty was still a little reluctant to let Concubine Xian go, but Beauty Wang kept interceding for her. In the end, His Majesty just wanted Concubine Xian to be beaten twenty times for the sake of Beauty Wang.
Is this the case?
Tao Yaoyao couldn't understand what Beauty Wang was thinking.
After leaving the palace, she was still thinking about this matter, but Zhang Jing said, "There are many concubines in the harem. Even if the virtuous concubine is thrown into the cold palace today, there will be other empresses plotting against her in the future.
But His Majesty dotes on the third prince, and the beautiful lady intercedes for the virtuous concubine. It seems to be kindness, but it is better to say that she is trying to sell herself to the third prince. "
After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he left in a carriage.
Tao Yaoyao felt that the matter was not that simple.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and the early winter morning was bitingly cold. Tao Yaoyao tightened her clothes and looked at the endless road. For a moment, she regretted rejecting Master Zhang's proposal to ride together.
What should we do now? Just walk back.
I don’t know what happened to the third young master?
Tao Yaoyao walked forward step by step along the pipeline. She didn't know how long she had walked. After the sky became completely bright, her feet began to ache and her calves began to feel numb. When she looked up at the endless road, she felt regret again. Come to mind.
At this time, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats behind him. Tao Yaoyao thought it was the common people who were on their way. He was thinking about what reason he could use to persuade them to let him take a journey. Who knew that when he turned around, he saw Chang Geng's cold face.
"It's you."
Tao Yaoyao subconsciously looked at the carriage behind him, "Your master is only half alive, how can he withstand such torture from you."
Chang Geng frowned when he heard this. Just when he was about to say something, Xie Lan's cold voice came from the carriage.
"Miss Tao is still in the mood to tease me. It seems that she has the strength to walk back by herself."
Tao Yaoyao then remembered that she was planning to take a ride, but... with Xie Lan's temperament, even if she said it, he probably wouldn't agree.
Tao Yaoyao stretched her neck and looked in front and back. When she found that there was no one else around except this carriage, she immediately got up and started to get up.
"This lady is caring about the prince. Why did the prince misunderstand my meaning?"
Tao Yaoyao said as she walked towards the carriage. With a limp and slightly messy hair, she didn't look like a lady at all.
Chang Geng wondered why his master treated this woman so differently.
It was true last night and it is true now.
"Girl, if you have something to say here, my master doesn't like crowds of people."
Chang Geng stopped her.
Tao Yaoyao's plan failed, and he said with some displeasure, "Listening to your master's voice, the poison on his body should not be cured yet. I can cure his poison."
Tao Yaoyao looked at Chang Geng, and Chang Geng looked at her. When their eyes met, a deep voice came from the carriage again.
"Miss Tao, please tell me the conditions."
Tao Yaoyao smiled when he heard this, then opened the curtain of the carriage and got in.
Chang Geng subconsciously wanted to catch her out, but he looked at his master's eyes and reluctantly backed out, letting the coachman continue on his way.
In the carriage, Tao Yaoyao beat her legs and stared at the teapot on the table, not noticing Xie Lan's gloomy gaze at all.
After he came back from the battlefield, when people in Kyoto saw him, they were as frightened as if they were seeing a ghost. But she was just afraid of him at the beginning, and then she treated him like an ordinary person.
Tao Yaoyao was just too thirsty and wanted to drink some water.
If he knew Xie Lan's thoughts, he would definitely refute him immediately. She was also very afraid of him.
She just knows how to hide it.
"Want to drink tea?" Xie Lan picked up the tea cup and poured himself only one cup.
Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips and nodded, "My daughter did not lie to the prince. My daughter can really help His Highness interpret it. Not only that, my previous promise to help His Highness take care of his body still counts."
"But before that, the little girl wants to drink water. Prince, this is not a big deal to you, but if the little girl dies of thirst, the poison in the prince's body will really be unsolvable."
Xie Lan took a leisurely sip of tea, and then took out a plate of pastries from the cabinet.
Osmanthus cake, that is her favorite pastry.
Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but pursed her lips, "Your Majesty, you might as well think about it carefully."
"Tell me your conditions."
Slender white fingers passed in front of Tao Yaoyao's eyes. Tao Yaoyao looked over subconsciously and saw his lips slightly parted, chewing the cake slowly.
The beauty is indeed a beauty, and everything she eats is so pleasing to the eye.
If he had a better temper, he might be more likable.
"Actually, this matter is not a big deal for King Dingbei." Tao Yaoyao flattered her first. In this way, even if Xie Lan was unhappy or unwilling, he would not immediately kick her out.
Who knew that Xie Lan seemed to have read through his thoughts and interrupted her directly, "Let's get to the point."
Seeing that her plan to please had failed, Tao Yaoyao could only talk about business directly, "My daughter would like to ask King Dingbei to help me break off my engagement with the third prince."
The carriage suddenly fell into a deathly silence. Tao Yaoyao looked at Xie Lan's expressionless face and couldn't guess her thoughts for a moment.
In fact, she also knew that this condition was a bit difficult. After all, she had seen what happened yesterday, and King Dingbei did not please His Majesty.
The Queen is in the cold palace again.
However, she really has no other choice. What she said just now was just a try.
After waiting for a while but Xie Lan didn't speak, she changed the topic with a smile, "I was just kidding, I will go to Prince Zhou's Mansion to see the Third Young Master later and then I will detoxify the prince."
While talking, the carriage also arrived at the gate of Prince Zhou's Mansion. Tao Yaoyao saw that Xie Lan not only did not speak, but also closed her eyes. She sighed and got off the carriage.
"Yaoyao, you are finally back. Let me see if you are injured?" When Princess Zhou learned that she was back, she immediately came to the door to pick her up. When she saw her, she looked up and down first. After confirming that she was not injured, she Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Ruyanghou and his wife also came out.
After several people asked about Tao Yaoyao's situation, they talked about the third young master.
"The medicine you gave is very effective. His fever subsided in the middle of the night and he is now awake. After knowing that you are his savior, he is still clamoring to see you."
Tao Yaoyao also liked Abao very much. The two sat on the bed and played for a while before Tao Yaoyao got up and left.
Princess Zhou was worried that she would go back like this, and she insisted on sending her back personally. Tao Yaoyao refused and said, "Princess Zhou can protect me for a while, but she cannot protect me for a lifetime. Only when I become stronger will the Tao family not dare to bully me." .
Don't worry, Princess, I am no longer the same person as I used to be. If those people from the Tao family want to bully me, it depends on whether they can afford to make me angry. "
"Okay, this is your mother's daughter. You should be like her, decisive, calm, and wise."
