Tao Yaoyao, you are just a pig.
How could you talk to him before? If you talk to him again and believe that she is a pig, it won't be long before you are attacked by him again.
Being driven away now? Deserve it.
wrong. Tao Yaoyao stopped and turned to look in the direction of the study.
Chang Geng was always sincere and would never disobey orders, but Xie Lan's anger just now didn't seem like he was lying, so who lied?
When they were in the bamboo forest, Xie Lan approached Jiu Qingzi and hoped that he could be used as bait to lure out the people behind the scenes. Xie Lan had never been an impulsive person, and his words showed that this was necessary.
But in the end Jiu Qingzi didn't agree, and she was finally let go.
If Xie Lan wants to act according to the original plan...
Thinking of a possibility, Tao Yaoyao walked back to the study. Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the study, she heard Chang Geng's shout.
"Quick, go get the doctor."
What's wrong? Xie Lan is sick again? He deserves it. He puts on a bad face every day. How can he be angry?
Although Tao Yaoyao was angry, he would not joke with human life, so he entered the study in twos and twos. When Chang Geng noticed someone coming in, he quickly urged, "Hurry up and find the doctor."
Seeing that the man refused to leave, he quickly came closer. He frowned and raised his head, and when he opened his mouth to scold, he saw Tao Yaoyao.
"Miss Tao, you..." Chang Geng asked guiltily, "Didn't you leave?"
"Let's talk about the matter you lied to me later. Get him to bed first."
Chang Geng carried Xie Lan to the bed. Tao Yaoyao sat by the bed and checked his pulse. After confirming that the poison was inflicted, he took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth. After waiting for a while to make sure that his condition was stable, Tao Yaoyao Yao finally had time to ask Chang Geng.
Chang Geng was frightened by her look and turned around to run away, but Tao Yaoyao was the first to stop him, "Tell me, what's going on? I checked his pulse just now. The reason why he was angry was because he was angry.
Chang Geng, I usually look at you very sincerely, but what happened today? Do you know that if it hadn't been for me just now, your master might have been mad at you. "
When Chang Geng heard this, his face turned even darker. "Subordinate... I really didn't mean it."
Tao Yaoyao just made a guess, and when she saw this, she knew that she was right, so she narrowed her eyes and said, "It was indeed your idea to let me decide whether to stay in Beiwang Mansion temporarily."
"Yes." Chang Geng glanced at her and continued, "Since the girl has guessed the truth, she should also know why her subordinate did this.
To be fair to the girl, the master has already guessed who the master behind Fufeng is. That person is quite powerful. Even if my master does nothing, that person still wants my master’s life, let alone if my master is really responsible for this matter. Something went wrong...
And over there in the palace, my master’s situation is even worse than Miss Tao’s, so..."
"So you thought of a way to let me take the place of your master to lure the people behind the scenes?" Tao Yaoyao doesn't like to be taken advantage of. If Xie Lan didn't refuse just now, but followed Chang Geng's wishes and kept her , when she reacts later, she will definitely turn against him.
But Xie Lan didn't do this, and even fainted because of him. For a moment, Tao Yaoyao didn't know whether to be angry or to say that he was too stubborn.
"Miss Tao, please don't get me wrong. These are all subordinates' ideas. My master didn't know about this from beginning to end. He knew what was going on when he saw you just now, so he asked you to leave in a hurry. "
After Chang Geng finished speaking, he felt that the explanation was not enough, so he added, "Miss Tao, if you are angry, you can hit me and scold me, but can you..."
"It's so noisy. Okay, didn't you say you would let me stay in the palace for a few days? Go and clean up the guest room. You know, I am quite picky. If I am not satisfied with the room you find for me, Maybe I’ll leave later.”
Chang Geng did not expect that after Tao Yaoyao found out the truth, instead of being angry, he actually asked to stay. After being stunned for a moment, he was overjoyed.
"I'm going to find someone to clean up the house right now."
After Chang Geng left, Tao Yaoyao looked at the person on the bed again, "Open your eyes when you've had enough."
Although she doesn't know martial arts, she is a doctor. The breathing of a sleeping person is different from the breathing of an awake person. Xie Lan pretended to be similar, but he still couldn't hide it from her.
The next second, Xie Lan opened his eyes.
"You shouldn't have stayed."
"Can't you say anything else besides this?" Tao Yaoyao went to the table to pour a cup of tea in disgust and handed it to him, "Drink some water, your lips are all white."
"I'm fine with you." Xie Lan sat up, glanced at her, and then took the teacup, "I'm not joking with you, this matter is extraordinary..."
"It's the third prince, right?" Tao Yaoyao interrupted him and looked at him with half-smiling eyes.
Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "How could you..."
"I guessed it. But when I saw your expression, I knew I guessed it right." Tao Yaoyao saw that he had finished drinking the tea and put the teacup on the table. "From the time I saw you when I fell into the water to now, you have been here Investigate the third prince, as for the purpose, it was the battle half a year ago, I guessed it right."
Xie Lan didn't say anything, and Tao Yaoyao didn't care.
"The things you have been investigating during this period are all related to the third prince, and the copper mine we discovered. In addition, Fufeng cut corners in the Ministry of War, which caused your defeat in that battle to be extremely tragic.
If he is the culprit, then the third prince is the initiator.
But the third prince is favored. Your Majesty did not touch the third prince for such a big thing before, so that the third prince is now more arrogant and domineering than before. If you plot against him this time, maybe he will take advantage of this and directly take your life. Life.
Chang Geng is worried about this, so he wants me to take your place. As for me, everyone in Kyoto City now knows that I don’t have to worry about having lice. "
When Tao Yaoyao talked about this, there was a bit of ridicule in his eyes.
She had felt pity for Xie Lan before and felt that he had no one to rely on or protect him. But now she saw that she and he were the same kind of people. This was why she was not angry just now even though she knew Chang Geng's plan.
We are all poor people, so we should help each other.
What's more, she said today that she would pay back the debt she owed before, and now was the best opportunity.
"I promised General Chu to protect you." Xie Lan frowned.
Tao Yaoyao said nonchalantly, "Even if I make this bait, you can still help me. Maybe by some mistake, the third prince can be imprisoned for a few more days."
The third prince started to kill him as soon as he came out. If he was allowed to stay outside for a few more days, she would be the unlucky one in the end. In this case, she could definitely use this opportunity to fight back.
"But don't forget, you are now a repeat offender of the imperial court, and the five-day period given by the Zhou family will expire soon."
"This matter is being investigated by Mr. Zhang and Mr. Xiao. Since there was such a big commotion last night, I guess they must have found clues. As long as they have clues and follow the clues, it will be easy to find the murderer.
Of course, apart from these, the most important thing is that I was poisoned. If I can't find the murderer in three days, then I will be dead. "
"I will do my best on this matter." Xie Lan was unwilling to let her interfere in this matter. In Tao Yaoyao's view, this matter was caused by the third prince alone. But Xie Lan knew that there were many people involved behind this matter, and once they took action, those people would start taking action.
By then, are they afraid that the situation they will face will be even more intense than last night?
"Really?" Tao Yaoyao smiled bitterly, "It seems that my luck is really bad. If you are really worried about my life and death, then tell me who is involved in this matter. Since then, I I also have some confidence in my heart.”
No matter what Xie Lan said, Tao Yaoyao refused to let go, and Xie Lan was so angry that he simply stopped talking.
Tao Yaoyao was worried that her popularity would be exposed again, so she went back to the house to sleep on the pretext that she was tired. She slept until noon. When she came over to eat, she saw that Xie Lan was already reading the files at the table, with a look of admiration on her face. .
"What a model worker."
It is a pity that His Majesty would not even look at such a good son who is diligent and caring for the people.
If it were her, I'm afraid she wouldn't have the heart to be so diligent, but he seemed to be like this no matter what others said or saw.
He is the only legitimate son of the royal family. With his status, even if he does not grow up to be a playboy, he cannot become such a cold, heartless person who is not easy to get close to.
How many things happened to him to make such a young man become like an old monk.
"Either eat or go out." Xie Lan was so frightened by her look that he raised his head and glared at her.
When Tao Yaoyao saw this, she couldn't help but rolled her eyes. She was so angry.
"Have a meal."
The food in the palace was very sumptuous, including vegetables and meat. She liked to eat all the dishes except vegetarian dishes. Tao Yaoyao had not glanced at the vegetarian dishes since she picked up her chopsticks.
Xie Lan had noticed this habit of hers before. After seeing it now, he sighed and reminded, "A combination of meat and vegetables is healthy. You are a doctor. You should know this better than me."
"This is the truth. But truth is rational, and people are emotional. Besides, my life is already so difficult, can't you make me get what I want even if I just have a meal?"
Tao Yaoyao looked at her pitifully, as if it was a heinous crime if he didn't let her eat meat, which made Xie Lan speechless.
"I'm too lazy to care about you."
"Thank you." Tao Yaoyao was satisfied after hearing this.
After the meal, Tao Yaoyao was about to go back to the house to catch up on her sleep. When she saw Chang Geng came back, his expression was not good, so he hesitated and sat down again. Xie Lan saw this and glanced at her and ignored her.
"Did you let the news out?"
"Replying to the prince, they have dispersed." After Chang Geng finished speaking, he glanced at Tao Yaoyao and saw that his master had no intention of letting her avoid him. He continued, "However, everyone outside knows that senior Jiu Qingzi only has one apprentice. We If you make up another one now, will anyone believe it?"
It turns out this was the plan they were talking about.
"If I were the person behind Fufeng, I would rather believe it than not. After all, Jiu Qingzi's abilities are known to the world, and they have also seen Fufeng's abilities before."
Xie Lan nodded in agreement, and then talked about his other plan, "Take care of the house in the city as soon as possible, and I will live in it at dusk."
"Your Majesty..." Chang Geng looked worried.
Tao Yaoyao didn't expect that Xie Lan was still insisting on her previous idea, but this time she didn't intend to confront him head-on. "Then please take me with you. As you know, people in the palace don't like me very much. Now that the prince is here, they They don’t dare to bully me. What if they bully me after the prince leaves?”
Chang Geng looked surprised.
Miss Tao, listen to what you said.
With your temper, who dares to bully you is still under the prince's nose. It’s good if you don’t bully others.
She was so embarrassed that everyone in the house wanted to honor him as an ancestor, yet she actually arranged it for them without blinking an eye.
Tao Yaoyao saw what Chang Geng meant and winked at him. When Chang Geng understood what she meant, he started to feel embarrassed.
