Judging from the sound, there should be a lot of people here. It seems that the third prince spent a lot of money to deal with her this time.
Before going to bed, she had already reminded the servants in the yard that they were not allowed to come out no matter what noise they heard tonight, so she didn't have to worry about them at the moment.
After she stood up, she began to hold her breath, listened carefully to what was going on outside, and turned on the switch.
Her traps were all set up around the house and in the house. There was nothing she could do about it. If they were set up in the yard, they would definitely attract the attention of the Tao family. If the news reached the ears of the third prince, all her efforts would be in vain.
call out!
Someone came to the window and touched the mechanism, and countless arrows rained down like snowflakes. In addition, she also smeared poison on the pillar at the door, all of which were poisons that could seal the throat upon seeing blood. As long as the killer touched it, , will also be killed on the spot.
However, the third prince sent professional killers, and her little tricks could only catch them off guard. Once they discovered that there was an ambush here, these little tricks of hers would be useless.
Soon, the sound of arrows in the yard stopped, and the killer began to cautiously make his way to the house.
On the roof not far away, Xie Lan saw this scene and waved his hand at Chang Geng. Chang Geng immediately led people to rush over here.
The killer didn't expect that there would be so many masters in the courtyard of a boudoir woman. The hidden weapons and poisons had killed many people just now, and now so many masters suddenly rushed out. The killer's side had almost no advantage at all. The people watching them They fell down one by one, and the leader flew away while the other person was not paying attention.
Seeing this, the others also retreated.
Tao Yaoyao originally thought that the fight would last until around dawn, but she didn't expect it to end so quickly.
After hearing no movement outside, she didn't immediately come out to check. It wasn't until Hou La heard Xie Lan's voice that she got out of bed and went out.
"How did you come?"
She thought he would just send a few people to protect her, and he wouldn't come.
For some reason, after seeing Xie Lan today, she felt happy and even looked forward to her appearance. Tao Yaoyao later thought that she must have been scared at the time, otherwise how could she expect him?
"The Third Prince's people didn't succeed tonight, and they will continue tomorrow. You don't want to wake up every night, right?"
Tao Yaoyao really didn't want to live in such fear every day, so when she was so scared just now, she thought of a good way.
Isn't the third prince most afraid of this matter being exposed? Then she will expose this matter.
When the time comes, everyone in Kyoto will protect her, and she wants to see if the third prince dares to attack her. Besides, her fifth cousin will be back tomorrow, and by then, she will have nothing to fear. .
"You have already thought about this move, right?" Xie Lan asked her.
Tao Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Xie Lan interrupted her and pointed at the mechanism next to it and the poison smeared on the pillars. Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao suddenly felt guilty.
Just when she thought Xie Lan would be dissatisfied, he suddenly changed the topic.
"If I were you, you would find someone to expose this matter, instead of chasing a moth into the flame yourself."
Why does this sentence sound like...swearing?
Wait a moment
"Did the prince guess that I would be taken advantage of, so that's why he said that he was going to the village to find someone?" Tao Yaoyao felt something was wrong before, but she didn't think about it carefully at the time. Now after hearing his words , thinking about the previous matter again, the previous doubts suddenly disappeared.

"Since it is the prince's plan that I ended up like this, then please tell me carefully who do you want to be taken advantage of this time?"
A hint of complexity flashed in Xie Lan's dark eyes, but he quickly spoke, "The West City Guarding Captain belongs to the second prince."
The second prince and the third prince have been at odds with each other for a long time. If the people of the second prince know about the third prince's big deal...
The second prince and the third prince are the two most famous among the adult princes. The former is because he has the greatest prestige in the eyes of the people, and the latter is entirely because of His Majesty's favor.
But the power of the two in the court is now evenly matched. In order to compete, the two often throw dirty water on each other's people.
A few days ago, the Third Prince's people just arrested one of the Second Prince's subordinates. Now the Second Prince is a little worried. If the Second Prince can seize the Third Prince at this time...
"This is indeed a good idea."
Wait a moment
"Your Majesty, you were obviously the first to discover this matter. Why don't you go to His Majesty to expose the third prince's crime?"
Tao Yaoyao was only thinking about how to save her life before and completely forgot about this incident. Now when she heard Xie Lan talking about the third prince and the second prince, she remembered that he was also a prince.
In terms of status and merit, the third and second princes were no match for him.
But... he seems to be a little unpopular. Could it be because of this that he didn't want to take the credit himself?
"What, you don't want to break off the engagement over this matter?"
Tao Yaoyao was still thinking about his thoughts when she suddenly heard this sentence and raised her head suddenly. No one had ever mentioned her little thoughts. How did he know about it?
Xie Lan glanced at her with disgust, then turned and left.
Tao Yaoyao looked at his tall but lonely back, and suddenly her throat felt itchy. She opened her mouth to say something, and then Qiu Gui ran out of the house.
"Miss...what...what's going on?"
Xie Lan's people had taken away the bodies in the yard, and now only the blood stains were left in the yard that had not been cleaned up. Tao Yaoyao originally planned to deal with it by herself, but when he saw Qiu Gui coming out, he asked her to go find water, and then the master and the servant People started sweeping the yard in the middle of the night.
They were busy until morning before they cleaned the yard.
"I'm too tired. I don't want to move anymore. Qiu Gui, you yell and ask them to get us some food, and then we go back to the house to sleep."
Tao Yaoyao was lying facelessly on the soft couch in the room. Qiu Gui was also tired, but she still stood up. "Miss, you go and lie down on the bed quickly. I will look for you when the slave comes in with the food."
"Well done then."
She was really too tired.
She closed her eyes and went to bed in the dark. Not long after she lay down, when she was about to fall asleep, an angry voice came over her.
"Tao Yaoyao, you bitch, tell me, have you hooked up with a man?"
The third prince was surprised when he learned that the assassination failed. Later he heard that Tao Yaoyao had someone else protecting her in the yard.
Who is Tao Yaoyao? After so many years, the third prince knows better than anyone else. She is as timid as a mouse and as stupid as a pig. Unless the Chu family is insane and protects her like a treasure, who would treat her like this? Fool.
And now everyone in the Chu family is at the border. Even Chu Wulang, who is going back to Beijing soon, will not be able to enter Beijing until around noon at the earliest. So who is the person in her yard?
The third prince thought about what happened during the two days when she disappeared and the other group of people she talked about... so he came to find her early in the morning to question her.
The third prince's original intention was to use this incident to threaten Tao Yaoyao to tell the other group of people. Who knew that Tao Yaoyao's face turned even uglier than him after being woken up by someone.
"The third prince is so loud because he wants everyone to know that you sent someone to kill me last night?"
The third prince was surprised that Tao Yaoyao knew about this.
But soon he regained his composure, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand. Please stop pretending to be stupid here and ask, who is your adulterer?"
Tao Yaoyao has seen shameless people, but never such shameless people.
Why, do you really think that since he denied it, she would have no evidence?
Tao Yaoyao lifted the quilt and just got out of bed when Tao Yanyan ran in angrily, "Third Prince, has my sister made you angry again?"
After Tao Yanyan finished speaking, he looked at her with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Sister, what's wrong with you? He is your fiancé..."
"You also know that he is my fiancé." Tao Yaoyao sneered, "Looking at you running so happily, your legs should not hurt anymore. In that case, just keep kneeling."
At dusk last night, Tao Yanyan cried out that her legs hurt. Aunt Zhao felt sorry for her and ran over to her to plead with her. At that time, she was busy with things at night, so she let her get up.
I thought that after what happened yesterday, she would be able to calm down for two days, but now it seems that she overestimated her.
"Come here, take the second young lady to kneel down at the door of the master's study."
Tao Yanyan originally came to see the third prince to express herself. The third prince didn't know what happened these days, but he actually ignored her. She was thinking about marrying the third prince, and now the third prince ignored him. She can tolerate it.
Who knew Tao Yaoyao, a bitch, could hold a grudge so much that things in the past were brought up again and again.
"Third Prince..." Tao Yanyan didn't want to be punished by kneeling down or being punished by any laws. She knew that it was useless to beg Tao Yaoyao, so she turned around to beg the Third Prince. Who knew that the Third Prince didn't even look at her, and Tao Yanyan was so angry that she covered her head. He ran away with a face on his face.
No future.
After the room returned to silence, Tao Yaoyao took a token from under the pillow and played with it in her hand. After the third prince recognized that the token was from his third prince's house, his face changed on the spot.
"Tao Yaoyao, you are so despicable. You love me and you don't get what you ask for, but you steal my token. I think this is your first offender, so get it over quickly, otherwise, I will kill you right now." Everything is made public.”
The third prince relied on the original owner's favor and threatened Tao Yaoyao. Unfortunately, she was not the original owner and was too lazy to pay attention to him. Just when she was about to say something, a man with unshaven beard rushed in and faced the third prince as soon as he came in. One punch.
"His grandma, even if you are a prince, you can't threaten my sister like this."
younger sister?
After Tao Yaoyao quickly searched for this person's information in her mind, she finally recognized him from his familiar eyes.
"Fifth cousin."
Tao Yaoyao happily rushed forward. It was the first time for Chu family Wulang to be hugged by his cousin. He was happy and at a loss. Then he thought of what he had just heard and immediately asked with concern, "Sister, did he bully you? Wait, brother will go to the palace now to avenge you."
He may not be able to do anything to the third prince, but His Majesty can.
Now that the two countries are at war and His Majesty is using the Chu family, if he goes to complain to His Majesty, even if Your Majesty favors this prince, he will definitely give them some face to the Chu family.
"Chu Wulang, you are so brave, you dare to hit this prince."
