"You dare to bully my sister, what will happen if I beat you?"
Chu Wulang originally planned to have a good talk with the third prince after returning to Beijing. Now that he has met him, he doesn't mind having a good talk with him in advance.
So when the third prince was trying to regain his place, he also started to be eager to give it a try. Tao Yaoyao didn't want Chu Wulang to be feared by the palace as soon as the third prince returned to the capital, so he threatened the third prince, "If you don't leave again, be careful." In a fit of anger, I said something that I shouldn’t have said.”
"Tao Yaoyao, how dare you."
The third prince threatened her.
Tao Yaoyao sneered, "I risked my life, what else does the Third Prince think I dare not do?" She took two steps forward, looked at the somewhat mean face of the Third Prince and said coldly, "I'm not afraid of being barefoot. Wearing shoes, I just don’t know if the third prince dares to look at me and go out?"
The third prince thinks she is crazy. He is her fiancé. If she offends him now, he will wait until she gets married to see how he deals with her.
"Tao Yaoyao, wait."
The third prince put down his harsh words, then turned around and left.
Seeing this, Chu Wulang wanted to roll up his sleeves and hit someone again. Tao Yaoyao pulled him and asked happily, "I didn't say I would come back at noon. Why did I arrive so many hours in advance?"
Before Chu Wulang came back, he wrote a letter to Tao Yaoyao. The letter stated the approximate date of his return. However, last night when the Chu family army was resting in the woods, they met a seriously ill old man. In order to send him back to Beijing as soon as possible, He came back early for treatment.
"Fifth brother is so nice."
After Tao Yaoyao praised Chu Wulang, he began to ask about the old man's condition. Through his narration, Tao Yaoyao's face darkened little by little.
"What's wrong?" After Chu Wulang noticed something was wrong, he quickly asked, "But what did I say wrong?"
"No, I just think the symptoms you mentioned are very similar to... mercury poisoning."
Mercury poisoning? It was the first time Chu Wulang heard such symptoms, but he was more curious about when she gained medical skills.
"When you wrote to me, you always mentioned the word injury. I was worried about you, so I looked for a book to read. I didn't expect that I have some talent, so I learned pretty well."
So that's it.
My sister is so kind to them.
"Fifth brother, please stretch out your hand and I will feel your pulse."
Having said this, Tao Yaoyao saw the tired look on Chu Wulang's face, so she wanted to nurse him back to health. However, when she took a pulse, her face turned dark again.
Fifth brother was poisoned?
Although the toxin is not obvious yet, she will never make a wrong diagnosis.
This should be a chronic poison, so there are no symptoms at all, but once the poisoning occurs, the person who is poisoned will definitely die.
Who on earth hated him so much that he actually gave him such poison?
Do other people in the Chu family have the same symptoms?
Tao Yaoyao has watched a lot of costume TV dramas and knows how jealous generals like the Chu family are, and she can't care about others, but the Chu family treats the original owner with their heart and soul.
Moreover, the reason why she has lived well for so many years is because of the Chu family. Once they have a problem, she will never be able to live the same day again.
They have a prosperous relationship, so she needs to figure out her guess as soon as possible.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her delay, Chu Wulang thought something had happened to him, but he quickly coaxed her, "Fifth brother has been as strong as a horse since he was a child. If anything happens to anyone, I will be fine." of."
"If you don't believe it, I can put a trap on you right now."
In order to make her happy, Chu Wulang said that he was going to box. Tao Yaoyao took his arm, poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him, "After such a long journey, drink some water quickly, and then enter the palace." .”
Chu Wulang should enter the palace immediately after returning to the capital, and the third prince already knows the news of his return. If there is any further delay and His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid it will be unnecessary trouble.
Chu Wulang also knew this truth, so he took the people and left Tao's house after drinking tea.
Tao Yaoyao watched him get on the horse and immediately called Qiu Gui, "Help me go to Dingbei Prince's Mansion to deliver a message."
Half an hour later, Shangsi Tea House
"Did the prince already know about my fifth brother's poisoning?"
As soon as King Dingbei went to the army, he went to his grandfather's military camp. Later, he made military exploits and had his own manpower. Although he looked cold and inhumane on the outside, she could see how he got along in the past few days. When he comes out, he is a cold-hearted person.
At the very least, he would not add insult to injury to those who were kind to him.
Moreover, she couldn't go to the border to inquire about the Chu family's affairs in person, so he was her only clue.
Xie Lan didn't expect that he would notice something was wrong so quickly, but this matter was of great importance, and just in case, he didn't plan to tell her now.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
Xie Lan played with the tea cup and glanced at the crowded street with his peripheral vision, "Let me remind you, when you came here just now, there were a lot of tails behind you."
Tail?
The third prince's people.
Tao Yaoyao was so worried about the affairs of the Chu family that she forgot about the trouble of the third prince.
However, Xie Lan probably doesn’t want to be involved in their dispute, so...
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank me for what?" Xie Lan was confused. After thinking of something, the smile in his eyes deepened, "Don't you think that I have already dealt with these people for you?"
Is not it?
Tao Yaoyao followed his line of sight and soon spotted a sneaky figure across the street. When she looked over, the man swooped away.
Damn it.
"Does the prince like to watch the fun so much? Don't forget, the prince, the third prince doesn't like me, and he doesn't like you either. In addition, I told the third prince before that there was another group of people around me that day. Do you think that if the third prince knew If the other wave of people is the prince..."
"You won't say it." Xie Lan said very firmly, "Besides, even if you say it, I won't admit it. Do you have any evidence?"
"You..." Shameless.
She was willing to think that this man would only be associated with cold-bloodedness, but she didn't expect that he would also be associated with shamelessness.
Doesn't it mean that people like him don't even bother to do such things?
He is truly an exception.
After returning home, she fell asleep. It was a dark sleep. When she woke up, it was already getting dark outside. Qiu Gui heard the noise and came in to wait on her.
"If Miss can't afford it anymore, I will have to ask a doctor."
Tao Yaoyao saw that she had slept for almost the whole day, and felt that she was powerful.
After getting up, I sat at the table and drank porridge. I asked Chu Wulang by the way, "Has Fifth Brother come back?"
"No." Qiu Gui shook his head, "How about I go out and inquire about it?"
"No need." Tao Yaoyao glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost time. She took the time to finish the meal and took Qiu Gui to continue setting up the mechanism. After everything was settled, she reminded Qiu Gui, "Don't be here tonight." We are sleeping in the yard, so go to the front yard. If you hear anything in the middle of the night, don’t come over. Remember to find someone to report it to the police immediately."
Qiu Gui was worried, "Miss, what will you do if I leave? Otherwise, you can leave with me."
Tao Yaoyao was meant to be a bait. If she left, these people would stop coming.
Probably because she slept too much during the day, Tao Yaoyao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep after lying down, but she didn't want to get up, so she simply stayed in bed until midnight.
Suddenly, a shrill meow came from the yard, and she sat up suddenly, then opened her eyes wide.
coming.
The killers who came tonight were not the same wave last night, so after these people came, they were once again entangled by the agency and the poison outside for a while. When Xie Lan's people came out, the fighting in the yard reached a climax.
Qiu Gui couldn't sleep at all, but she was afraid of ruining Tao Yaoyao's plan, so she hid outside and listened carefully to what was going on here. After the shrill screams came from the yard, she immediately ran to the door to find the boy.
Who knew that the servant wouldn't open the door for her at all and said she was talking nonsense. Qiu Gui was usually an extremely timid person, but now Tao Yaoyao's life was in her hands. For the sake of her master, she took advantage of the servant not paying attention. She took out the dagger Tao Yaoyao gave her and frightened the guards.
"If you don't open the door, I will kill you."
Seeing that she was serious, the guard reluctantly opened the door. It was a coincidence that as soon as Qiu Gui went out, she saw the guard guarding the night, so she rushed forward without thinking, "Our family has been assassinated, please sir." Please save my young lady."
The captain of the Xicheng city guard personally led a team to Tao Ranju to arrest the person. It was also at this time that the guards confirmed that the assassin was really in trouble in the mansion, so they immediately ran to find Tao Shi'an.
In fact, Tao Shi'an knew what happened in the house last night, but Tao Yaoyao didn't say anything, so he pretended to be stupid. I didn't expect to come tonight.
Who did this damn girl offend?
That was why the other party refused to give up until she was killed.
"Sir, help me."
Tao Yaoyao waited until the escort came, quickly opened the door, rushed behind the captain, then pointed at the mostly dead killers in the yard and shouted, "Sir, these people are really scary. Fortunately you are here, otherwise , I’m afraid my life will be in danger tonight.”
The assassins were still wondering how the other wave of people left. Just when they thought they had finally seized the opportunity to kill Tao Yaoyao, the Xicheng Captain rushed in with his men.
Now they panicked.
"Catch them alive."
Although these guards had average martial arts skills, they were still large in number. There were originally twenty assassins. Eleven of them had died before, and now there were only nine left. No matter how high their martial arts were, they were no match for so many people, so they quickly fell. Downwind.
The captain was not idle during this period. He first looked around, then walked around the yard. After all the assassins were caught, he walked back again.
"Who are you, and why do you want to assassinate the eldest daughter of the Tao family?"
The assassin glanced at the captain and sneered, "If you meddle in other people's business, you are seeking death." After saying that, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide. When others saw this, they followed suit. But in an instant these people were all dead.
Even Tao Yaoyao, who had seen such a big scene last night, was still shocked when he saw this scene.
