At that time, wasn't she a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers?
Now after experiencing the baptism of reality, she really knows that she was wrong. Why can't she be given a chance to change her ways?
Wait a moment when the third prince said that she and Wang Meiren were plotting against Concubine Xian. Did he guess this or did he already know something?
"Why can't I understand what the third prince is talking about?" Tao Yaoyao pretended to be stupid to test how much the third prince knew about this matter. "The third prince also saw what happened last night. It was Concubine Xian who recommended me." , I just came to Beauty Residence to treat Beauty Wang."
"Hmph, you still want to make excuses now. Don't think that this prince doesn't know that the reason why you were able to investigate the case with Mr. Zhang yesterday was because he was the father of Miss Wang.
You used to be timid and cowardly, but now you are arrogant, domineering, and unyielding. You are not the type to join in the fun. Furthermore, I heard that you were alone with Beauty Wang. I guess that you are the one. It's time to reach a cooperation with Wang Meiren. "
Didn’t you say that the third prince was brave and foolhardy?
Looking at it now, isn’t it quite smart?
No, the third prince she knew would definitely not have expected so much. Someone must be guiding him behind his back.
"Since the Third Prince has asked someone to investigate what happened at Beauty House last night, you should also know that at that time, Beauty Wang was in a coma and there was no one else here. Is Concubine Xian responsible for the poisoning of Beauty Wang last night? I believe that the third prince must know.
Then, the third prince should also know how toxic it is. Furthermore, the Tao family is just a family with no real power. Why do you think this young lady would take the risk of offending my future husband and future mother-in-law for Beauty Wang? "
The third prince's hand holding the sword paused slightly. His mother-in-law said that no matter how much a person changes, his nature cannot be changed.
Tao Yaoyao has been obsessed with him for many years, how could she suddenly fall in love with him?
I think it was because what happened some time ago made her so angry that her temperament changed drastically.
Furthermore, neither the mother nor the father agreed to cancel the engagement. She was a woman with no one to support her, and in the end she had to marry her obediently. If she really attacked their mother and son, it would not do her any good.
At the moment, she seems to be somewhat smart and will not seek death.
But if she didn't lie, wouldn't Tao Yanyan lie to her?
"If the third prince doesn't trust me, I can kill myself to prove my will." Tao Yaoyao was sure that the third prince would not really kill her, so she deliberately ran to the edge of the cliff, planning to use this method to gain his trust.
Who knew that the soil on the edge of the cliff was loose, and as soon as she stood there, large pieces of soil quickly rolled down the cliff, and then her feet slipped and she fell backwards.
The moment she fell off the cliff, she had only one thought.
If you don't do it, you will die.
"Tao Yaoyao." The third prince's expression changed drastically when he saw Tao Yaoyao fall off the cliff. He really just wanted to scare her today, but he didn't expect that she fell off the cliff in order to prove her innocence.
Although he was not responsible for this incident, she would not have fallen off the cliff if he had not brought her here.
If word spread about what happened here, neither the Chu family nor the Tao family would let him go.
Thinking of this, the third prince shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find someone under the cliff. You want to see the person alive or the corpse if you die." When the guard was about to leave, he repeatedly warned, "What happened today, no one can Don't tell anyone, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
When Xie Lan led people over, there was only one carriage left on the cliff, and there was no one else around.
"Your Majesty, did the Third Prince take Miss Tao away?"
Just now at the foot of the mountain, their people told him that there were masters nearby, so they couldn't follow her too closely, so they lost Miss Tao's whereabouts.
However, Chang Geng was not worried about Tao Yaoyao's safety. The girl's temperament was out of control and she did not suffer any loss. She had not suffered a loss in several confrontations with the third prince before. There was no reason why she would suffer a loss today.
Furthermore, she is the lifeblood of Mr. Chu. If something happens to her, the third prince may not be able to get that position.
He could think of things that the third prince could not think of.
He didn’t know what his master was thinking and why he had to take this trip. Now that dusk was approaching, Chang Geng reminded him, “Your Majesty, your health is important.”
Xie Lan walked around and finally found a sachet on the edge of the cliff. When he picked it up and looked at it carefully, Chang Geng came over.
"Isn't this Miss Tao's sachet?" He saw her wearing it last night.
"It must have been left accidentally."
Xie Lan squinted his eyes and looked around again. After a while, he took Chang Geng down the mountain. However, not long after they left, they found someone in the mountain. Chang Geng went to investigate and came back with something wrong on his face.
"Master, it's not good. Miss Tao fell off the cliff, and her life or death is unknown at the moment. The person we just found belongs to the third prince."
What?
Xie Lan tightened her hand holding the sachet, "Go and find more people, and go to the back mountain to quietly search for her whereabouts."
"What about the master?"
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Chang Geng said worriedly, "Sequelae on your body may appear at any time, just in case..."
"I promised General Chu that I would protect her. If something happens to her today, I will break my promise." He always kept his word and promised others, and he could not break his promise.
"No need to say more, hurry up and find someone."
After Chang Geng left, Xie Lan returned to the cliff. He had studied the terrain here just now. The mountain was extremely high, but uneven. In other words, if Tao Yaoyao fell from here, he would not necessarily fall. If you go to the bottom of the cliff, you will be stuck on the cliff.
Going down from here is the fastest way to find her.
Just in case, when he jumped off the cliff, he took a pill. After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, he jumped off without hesitation.
Halfway up the mountain, Tao Yaoyao was sitting on a tree with a crooked neck, watching helplessly as a figure jumped down from the cliff. The figure was slender and neat in posture. At first glance, he looked as otherworldly as a peerless master.
In one word, handsome.
Unconsciously, she was so absorbed in watching that she didn't even notice that the man had landed on the tree trunk next to her. It wasn't until the tree creaked that it couldn't bear the weight of the two of them that she came back to her senses.
"My lord, why is it you?"
If Xie Lan had known that she was not afraid of falling off the cliff, he would not have jumped off in a hurry. When he was about to use his energy to leave, he found that there was no internal energy in his Dantian.
Oops.
Creak.
When the trees swayed again, Tao Yaoyao quickly urged him, "My lord, why don't you change places or take me out of here first?"
Xie Lan gave her a strange look. After trying again and failing, he turned around and looked for a place to hide temporarily, and said, "The sequelae you mentioned have appeared."
What?
Tao Yaoyao's expression changed drastically.
God is really going to kill her.
If Xie Lan hadn't appeared, the tree would have lasted at least one day. Then the Third Prince might have thought of her position. But now that there was an extra Xie Lan, looking at the swaying posture of the tree, he was afraid that half I couldn't hold on for an hour.
What should we do now?
However, something worse happened, and Xie Lan's eyes began to lose sight.
Tao Yaoyao saw that he almost fell off the branch and quickly reached out to catch him, "Your Majesty, it's up to me to find a way."
In fact, she was not idle just now. She had already seen a flat place for refuge, but that place was some distance away from here, and the tree had long since dried up. If she wanted to step on this tree and walk there, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to. Safety.
Now that there is another Xie Lan, it is even more impossible.
"There is a raised tree root over there on the ground. It looks very strong. You take off your belt and tie mine and yours together. I will throw it over and wrap it around the tree stump. We may still have a chance. vitality."
Tao Yaoyao followed his line of sight and glanced at the tree root. This was indeed the only way. When she quickly took off her belt, her heart was still a little hanging.
"What if it fails?"
Xie Lan didn't say anything. Tao Yaoyao actually knew the result of failure and just wanted to find someone to talk to to reduce her tension.
Seeing that he didn't cooperate, she reached out and pulled his belt.
Xie Lan has never been in such close contact with a woman in his life, let alone letting her pull his belt. He almost subconsciously grabbed Tao Yaoyao's hand and said in a deep voice, "I will do it myself."
Tao Yaoyao came to his senses later, and when he realized what he had done, he let go of his hand in embarrassment.
"Well, I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient for you..."
When Xie Lan handed her the belt, she quickly tied the two belts together, and then tied one end of the belt to the tree. After tying it, she even grabbed part of it in her hand just in case.
"Okay, you can throw it away."
Xie Lan's eyes were completely blind now, but his memory was amazing. At this time, he relied on his memory to quickly throw out his belt, and saw that the belt was firmly attached to the tree root.
Tao Yaoyao tied the knot, and she believed in her knotting ability.
After seeing that the rope was firmly tied to the root of the tree, her mouth was full of smiles, but the next second, the branch she was sitting on broke with a creak. Xie Lan subconsciously grabbed her, and then with a strong force, she fell into his arms. .
"careful."
Tao Yaoyao had never had such close contact with anyone in her two lifetimes. This person was still a man. Her face turned red almost instantly, all the way to her ears.
She could feel the other person's breath as she breathed. She subconsciously wanted to get up, but was held back by the person behind her.
"I can't help you move this branch. Wait a moment, I'll try to adjust my breath." Xie Lan used a dagger to cut his finger, forcing the toxins to gather in one place, and then mobilized the strength of his whole body to activate the internal force for a short time. When they came together, the moment his inner strength gathered, he held Tao Yaoyao in one hand and grabbed his belt with the other and reached the flat ground next to the cliff as quickly as possible.
The moment the two fell, the dead tree also broke and fell to the bottom of the valley.
so close.
Just a little bit different.
