Tao Yaoyao was too tired tonight. She didn't want to leave at first, but now after scolding Qiu Gui, she felt comfortable all over her body. "Isn't it just an hour's journey? I still don't believe that I can walk with a limp leg." .”
Under the moonlight, Tao Yaoyao walked forward energetically. Seeing this, Qiu Gui could only accompany her.
Chuxiu Palace
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."
She already knew everything about the beauty's residence today. His Majesty had not been to her bedroom since the third prince was grounded. He came here at this time today to seek justice for that bitch.
Damn Tao Yaoyao, if it weren't for her tonight... No, everything happened during this period was because of her. If it wasn't for the sake of the Chu family...
"Xian Fei, you are so brave, you actually dare to cause trouble at the birthday banquet of the Queen. I just warned you, and you have forgotten it in just a few days?"
The emperor angrily came to Concubine Xian and reminded her, "Even if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the third prince as well?"
After hearing the threat in His Majesty's words, Concubine Xian's eyes flashed with panic, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about, my concubine..."
Snapped!
The emperor had already guessed that she would not shed tears without seeing the coffin, so he prepared the evidence early. Now that he heard her rebuttal, he threw the evidence directly on her.
"In order to protect you, I already asked my third son and Tao Yaoyao to break off their engagement, but if you still don't stop, are you willing to kill your own son?"
Concubine Xian naturally didn't want anything to happen to the third prince, she just wanted to protect him, so she did those things. It was obviously Tao Yaoyao who was pressing on her every step of the way...
"If you mother and son hadn't gone too far, how could Tao Yaoyao have made such a fuss? Concubine Xian, don't treat everyone as a fool.
I love the third prince, but I am not the only prince. "
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and left.
Concubine Xian looked at the emperor's cold and heartless back, and the hatred in her eyes grew stronger. What does your majesty mean by this? Could it be... No, what your majesty loves most is her son.
No one else could say goodbye to him, and they couldn't even think about this position.
"Mother, it's not good, Mother Dong's body has been brought back." The palace lady went out to do errands and saw the terrible scene when she came back. She was so frightened that she was trembling even after entering the room.
Concubine Xian was furious and became even more unhappy when she saw this, "This useless thing is just a corpse, why are you making such a fuss?"
Among the women in the harem, who doesn’t have a few lives on their hands?
Wang Meiren looked innocent and harmless, but she knew in her heart that her methods were no worse than hers. If she hadn't had a good son, the only favor in the harem would have been hers.
"No, ma'am, it's...someone hung the body of Aunt Dong at the gate of Chuxiu Palace. It's bloody...it's scary."
When Concubine Xian rushed over with the people, the servants were about to climb up the ladder to get the people down first. Blood dripped down the soles of Aunt Dong's shoes, and soon there was a pool of blood at the door.
Although Concubine Xian was cruel and ruthless, this was the first time she had seen such a scene. That scene was unforgettable with just one glance.
"Get the person away quickly." After urging the servants to get the person away, he still felt angry, "Send someone to investigate. If you know who did it, you will not be lenient."
After dark, the wind picked up, and soon the starry sky turned into dark clouds. When the carriage from Dingbei Palace arrived at the gate of the palace, Chang Geng took a look at the sky.
"It looks like it's going to rain."
Xie Lan bypassed him and went directly into the mansion. Chang Geng was even more surprised when he saw this. In the past, when his master saw Miss Tao in trouble, he would help anyone he could, no matter how big or small. What happened today?
First, he left the person on the road in the middle of the night, and now he didn't mean to help even though he knew it was going to rain. Or maybe he was overthinking it before, and their master had no interest in Miss Tao at all.
Wait a minute... Chang Geng suddenly remembered what happened in the main hall today, and a flash of distress flashed in his eyes.
"Miss, is it going to rain?"
Qiu Gui also noticed that something was wrong with the weather, but now they couldn't even walk one-fifth of the distance. Not to mention whether they could get home before it rained, they might not be able to get home after it rained.
When Tao Yaoyao followed Qiu Gui's line of sight to look at the sky, she suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves. At first she thought it was her imagination, but when she looked back, her expression became serious.
"You're right, a person should be able to bend and stretch." But she understood it too late.
Although Tao Yaoyao was frightened inside, she still reached out and pulled Qiu Gui behind her. At this time, Qiu Gui also saw the man in black not far away.
"Miss, are we going to die here today?"
Tao Yaoyao didn't know either, but as long as there was a chance, she would not let those who harmed her succeed.
"Qiu Gui, I'll lure them away later. You can find a way to escape. Remember, if you can't run away, find a place to hide in the grass. Don't rest on the official road."
At this time, the horse came to them. Qiu Gui firmly pulled her sleeves and shook her head desperately, "Miss, I won't leave."
"Hurry up. Run back. If you meet someone, call for help. If you meet a kind person, maybe we can survive today. But if you don't leave, both of us will die here today."
Tao Yaoyao pushed Qiu Gui before the man in black dismounted, then quietly escaped from the dagger in his sleeve and looked at the man in black.
"Let me guess who you are? I have offended too many people recently, and I still can't guess who you are for a while. Otherwise, you can tell me who you are, so that I can stay on Huangquan Road." Know who to go to for help."
The man in black was amused by her, "You are already dead, how can you ask for your life? We know you are sharp-tongued, so if you want to trade this for her chance to ask for her life, you don't have to waste your time.
It is you we want to kill, and as long as you die, we will not make things difficult for others. "
After the men in black expressed their stance, Tao Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not forget to compliment them, "I, Tao Yaoyao, have always admired those who have principles and rules."
Seeing that she was not done yet, the man in black next to him immediately drew his sword and said, "Stop pretending, today will definitely be the day you die."
After the man in black finished speaking, he flew forward.
On the other side, Qiu Gui ran forward with all her strength, thinking that as long as she found the guards early and invited them over, she might be able to save the young lady's life.
But their master and servant had been walking for too long just now, and her strength was weak. Now, even if she tried her best, she fell to the ground and could no longer walk without even taking a cup of tea.
Qiu Gui, why are you so useless?
Miss is dying to save you, but you are still here thinking about whether you are tired or not. Are you still a human being?
Qiu Gui cursed herself to force herself to stand up again and continue running forward, but she tried several times and fell several times, but she was still exhausted.
As time passed by, she was still spinning in circles. She was so anxious that she burst into tears.
"Miss, don't worry. If you really encounter misfortune today, Qiu Gui will definitely accompany you on the road to hell."
A carriage came not far away. The driver recognized Qiu Gui at a glance, so he whispered, "Miss Tao's maid is in front. It looks like something has happened. Master, do we want to take care of this?"
In the carriage, a man dressed in white was leaning lazily on the carriage, holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand, with a calm expression. If a girl who had not left the palace in Kyoto saw this scene, she would definitely be fascinated. One more thing to say , What a handsome gentleman.
But one second he looked like a gentleman, and the next second there was an intriguing smile in his eyes. How to describe that smile? Like a beast that has been hungry for a long time in the forest, it suddenly sees something delicious ahead of it. It is exciting and jealous, but also scary.
The boy took one look and quickly lowered the curtain.
"Pick someone up and ask what happened."
After the boy agreed, he flew forward first. Qiu Gui also knew him. When he reached out to help her, it was as if she saw a life-saving straw. She ignored the difference between men and women and pulled him to stand up, and then anxiously pulled him She took the boy to rescue her young lady.
"My young lady is right in front. Someone wants to kill her. Please, it's too late."
Seeing that the servant was indifferent, Qiu Gui quickly knelt down to him and said, "I beg you, slave. It's not too late..."
At this time, a white figure flew past his eyes, and soon the man disappeared. When she came to her senses, she was already being helped up by the servant.
"Don't worry, my master has already gone to rescue your young lady."
On the silent pipeline, two men in black looked at Tao Yaoyao angrily. There was another man in black lying next to them. They looked a little embarrassed. On the contrary, it was Tao Yaoyao who was unable to restrain the chicken. The weak woman who had never been taken seriously by them was still in the same posture as before.
"Despicable. If you have the ability, don't use dirty tricks."
"After all, you are a daughter of a famous family. How could you use such despicable means? It is simply disgusting."
Tao Yaoyao laughed at their shamelessness, "You all have the nerve to hit me one by one, why can't I use some tricks?
Furthermore, you are very powerful in martial arts, but I am just a weak woman. You don’t practice martial arts and have no shame. What else does this young lady have to worry about?
When word spreads about today's events, you are the ones being discussed.
But I guess..." Tao Yaoyao noticed something strange behind her and smiled, "You guys probably won't have this chance. "
As soon as Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, the person behind her took the dagger in her hand and killed both of them instantly.
After Tao Yaoyao recognized this move, she turned around happily. Just when she was about to say something, she saw Xie Fei standing behind him with a sinister look on his face. At this time, he didn't have the elegance and dignity that he had in the main hall.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the blood that he accidentally got on his wrist. Beautiful Danfeng's eyes were full of excitement.
"Just now, thank you very much, sir."
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he was about to go to the front to find Qiu Gui. Who knew that Xie Fei blocked his way and looked at him with his gloomy but smiling face and said, "I never meddle in other people's business."
