However, Xiao Shuo came to the palace before it got dark and asked to see her.
"But have you found a suspicious person?" Tao Yaoyao asked as soon as he came in.
Xiao Shuo put down his tea cup and looked at her, "Do you know Liu Ruhua?"
"Zhou Yu's concubine, I met her once." Tao Yaoyao walked to sit opposite him, "What's wrong, but what happened to her?"
"She is dead, and she was poisoned by the same poison as Zhou Yu."
After Tao Yaoyao was surprised, she looked at Xiao Shuo clearly, "So you are doubting me?"
"It's not that your subordinate doubted you, but that the subordinates of the Zhou family identified you, and I also took people to the hospital to inquire. You did apply medicine to her that day. And Zuo Zuo also proved that the poison was along these wounds. It seeped in.”
The implication is that she is highly suspicious.
It’s like one wave after another.
Tao Yaoyao couldn't figure out who was so anxious to kill him?
"I didn't kill anyone." Tao Yaoyao looked at Xiao Shuo firmly, "Does anyone outside know that I was kidnapped?"
"I know." He and Zhang Jing discussed this matter because they were worried that the murderer would not be found after five days. Now that Tao Yaoyao is not in prison, even if the Zhou family is angry, they can only go to His Majesty to file a complaint, but no Injuring Tao Yaoyao's life.
"Thank you." Tao Yaoyao understood their intentions and immediately thanked him, "But nothing was found out about last night?"
"It was found out." Speaking of this, Xiao Shuo looked helpless, "You may not believe it, but we just followed the clues to find Liu Ruhua. Who knew she was dead."
"You mean, Liu Ruhua died when you were looking for someone in the past?" Tao Yaoyao frowned and subconsciously smelled it when Xiao Shuo nodded, "Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
"And that poison. Zhou Yu died immediately after being poisoned. How did Liu Ruhua end up today?"
This was a big loophole, and she didn't believe Xiao Shuo couldn't see it.
"I do feel that something is wrong, but there is no evidence. Fortunately, you are not in prison. Even if the Zhou family is dissatisfied, they can't do anything to you."
Things were getting more and more complicated and out of control. Tao Yaoyao even had an intuition that if this matter could not be investigated as soon as possible, it might become more and more troublesome in the future.
Why did everything come together in such a hurry?
Wait a minute, all of this happened after the third prince came out, so...
"Master Xiao should remember the rumors yesterday. The third prince went to Tao's house and found a bag of poison from my yard. Do you think Liu Ruhua's poisoning is related to..."
Tao Yaoyao didn't explain the rest of it, but Xiao Shuo already understood what she meant, but he still needed evidence as to what the matter was.
Now they can only say that if they have someone who is suspicious, the next thing will be easier to investigate.
"I will send someone to keep an eye on the third prince."
After Xiao Shuo left, Tao Yaoyao stood in the courtyard. There were some plum blossom trees planted in the Dingbei Palace, and there are also some in the courtyard here. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and there are buds growing on the plum blossom trees. It looks like they should be gone in a few days. It's about to bloom.
I don’t know if she can wait until they bloom.
"Are your injuries feeling better?" A familiar voice came, and Tao Yaoyao turned around subconsciously. After seeing the person coming, she nodded, "A small injury, it's okay."
The whip injury was really uncomfortable at first, but fortunately she is a doctor, and with Qiu Gui's care, it is no longer serious.
"Really?" Xie Lan asked, pointing to the blood stains on her back, "Then what is this?"
After Tao Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously looked at the servant, who immediately said, "There are two blood stains on the girl's back." After speaking, the servant glanced at her and added, "The traces are quite big."
When Tao Yaoyao frowned, Xie Lan had already pulled her into the room next to her. When she came to the door of the room, she asked the maid to bring the medicine box in.
"Your Majesty, I'm really fine."
Tao Yaoyao watched helplessly as Xie Lan closed the door and then pulled her to the table.
"Your Majesty, please bring me the mirror." Tao Yaoyao is a doctor. Besides, this injury is on herself. Does she know if she feels uncomfortable?
Moreover, she asked her servants to apply medicine this morning. If the wound really cracked, would she know?
But Xie Lan's reaction didn't look like she was faking, so where did the blood stains on her body come from?
By the way, she had just been to the rockery in the south courtyard and leaned there for a while when she was a little tired. Could it be that time...
"Your Highness, come with me." After Tao Yaoyao thought of something, she pulled Xie Lan to the south courtyard.
Sure enough, Tao Yaoyao saw blood seeping out from a corner of the rockery. At this time, Xie Lan also saw it.
"Your Majesty, this..." Chang Geng rushed over and saw this scene, and quickly called the guards to move the rocks here. After a while, he found the body of a dead guard from the gap in the rockery.
"Liu Shan, how could he die? I saw him just now." The guard was surprised after seeing the appearance of the body.
Tao Yaoyao and others were even more surprised when they heard his words.
Liu Shan was obviously dead, so who did the guard see?
"Chang Geng, go find that person."
The matter is very clear. Someone broke into the palace, killed the guard, and then hid in the palace, either to eavesdrop on information or to do something shameful.
No matter what happened, Xie Lan would not allow it.
Moreover, this person should already know that Tao Yaoyao is here. If the news about him spreads, her situation will be even more dangerous.
In response to this, Tao Yaoyao looked happy, "From now on, the prince can only take me to another courtyard."
Xie Lan really didn't know what was going on in her mind. If it were anyone else, she would have been panicked and even scared. But as for her, she was careless all day long, as if she didn't know what fear was.
"Who says I don't know how to be afraid, but is fear useful? I'm unlucky, I don't have parents who love me, my grandfather is old, and they seem to be beautiful, but in fact they are full of dangers. I can't cause them any more trouble. "
Xie Lan didn't seem to expect that Tao Yaoyao would think so, let alone that she would tell him these words.
"It's getting late, let's set off."
On the way to the other courtyard, Tao Yaoyao rarely said seriously, "I know that the prince does not want to owe my grandfather a favor, but I am just like you, I don't want to owe anyone a favor.
So no matter what you think about tonight, I will stand up. "
Xie Lan frowned, "If so, you can leave now."
Xie Lan got angry and stopped the carriage. Tao Yaoyao didn't expect that he would fall out at any time, and even drive her out. She was so angry that she took a few deep breaths to stop spitting out the fragrance.
"My lord, you are really interesting. What you can do, why can't I leave? We are all human beings, why do you still have double standards?"
Besides, if you are really worried about my situation..."
"Shut up, who are you? Why should I worry about you?" Xie Lan mocked, "If you want to die, no one will stop you, but don't die on the territory of my palace."
Xie Lan opened the curtain, pointed at the dark night and said, "There are countless people outside who want to kill you. You should go out now. I will notify the Chu family to collect your body early tomorrow morning."
No, just chatting casually, why has it risen to this level?
"That's not necessary." Tao Yaoyao didn't want to die, so she simply gave in, "Okay, okay, if you don't go, I won't go. Why are you in a hurry? Others say that the prince is wise and brave, and has a good temper. Why did he suddenly change today?" .
It must be the little girl's fault. The little girl has to apologize to the prince. "
Tao Yaoyao was able to bend and stretch, and he was able to talk nonsense to others and ghosts.
Look at the way she is fawning over Xie Lan now, as if the person she was fighting against Xie Lan just now is not her. Chang Geng admires this.
If other people saw their master like this, they would be scared to death. Why wasn't she scared at all?
Why isn't Tao Yaoyao scared? If she wasn't scared, she wouldn't be so cowardly.
She is called able to bend and stretch.
Who doesn't know how to lose temper? But if your life is gone, how can you lose your temper with others?
In the end, Xie Lan didn't say anything more about driving her out, but after arriving at the other courtyard, he had someone take care of her.
At this time, the third prince received news that Tao Yaoyao was in Dingbei Palace.
"Impossible, who is Xie Lan? Even if everyone in the world is dead, he will not take anyone seriously. Who is Tao Yaoyao? How can he protect him?"
After the third prince finished speaking, he turned to look at the guards, "If you can't find anything, I can allow you to be incompetent, but do you think I am stupid?"
"No, Third Prince, what my subordinates said is true." The guard became anxious when he saw that he was angry.
They were obviously telling the truth, but the master not only didn't believe them, but also thought they were lying.
"If the Third Prince doesn't believe it, you can go to Dingbei Palace now. If any of us lie, we will die badly."
