The emperor was sitting in the main hall, looking at this farce with a livid face.
Soon, the imperial doctor came to give Tao Yanyan medicine and bandage, but Tao Yanyan showed no sign of waking up, and Concubine Xian was unwilling to keep her, so she wanted to ask King Xin to send her back.
Who knew that King Xin immediately refused when he heard this, "The imperial doctor said she can't move now. It takes almost an hour from here to King Xin's Mansion, which is too far."
"Yes, Concubine Xian, if something happens to Miss Tao, we can't afford it."
Concubine Xian wanted to say that she couldn't afford Tao Yanyan to stay here.
Let’s not talk about whether this matter can be hidden or not. Even if it is hidden, just because Tao Yanyan spent the night in Chuxiu Palace, there will be many rumors outside. How will she find a better one for the third prince then? Concubine?
She originally thought that King Xin would be easy to talk to, and since she hadn't asked him for anything, he wouldn't refuse, but she didn't expect...
"Alright, Concubine Xian, please hurry up and have her taken to Chuxiu Palace, take a good look at her, and then send her back when he wakes up tomorrow."
The emperor never asked what King Zhou said from beginning to end.
After the three people left the palace, King Zhou looked at the bright moonlight and sighed, "Do you think His Majesty is really confused, or is he pretending to be confused?"
He believed in the king but smiled and said nothing.
The emperor's heart is as deep as the ocean, and sometimes it's a good thing not to know anything. Thinking of something, King Xin looked at Xie Lan, "I heard that Miss Tao is in your house?"
Xie Lan nodded.
"I heard about what happened that day. Go back and tell her. Don't worry. I will go find her in person after a while."
King Zhou was happy for him when he understood what was going on, "If we can really cure the prince, it will be a good thing."
"Yes." King Xin also hopes that his son can get well soon, but... that's all, at least he has a chance now.
"There is no rush yet." Xie Lan looked at King Xin, "Now is not the best time to treat the prince." After a pause, he added, "Of course, you can also treat him secretly, but it is easy to alert the snake."
The world only knows that Prince Xin became like this after falling ill, but they don't know that the reason why he became like this is because he was poisoned. In the past, King Xin didn't find someone to detoxify him.
But the poison in Prince Xin's son cannot be cured by ordinary people. After Princess Xin met Tao Yaoyao that day, she went back and told her how powerful she was, so Prince Xin started to pay attention.
Of course, it was for this reason that he came to help Xie Lan today. Otherwise, he would not want to get involved in the water in Kyoto City at all.
"There are some things that you and I don't want to get involved in, but we just have to."
If possible, Xie Lan didn't want to be entangled with these rights and wrongs. However, he retreated while others advanced, and now he has no way to retreat.
Mr. Xie Fei said that if he had not given in back then, the Xie family would not have been wiped out, and he would not have become like this.
If he had not retired, the queen mother would not have been in the cold palace for so many years.
After King Zhou noticed something was wrong with Xie Lan, he coughed lightly and said, "My lord, you don't have to worry about what happened tonight. Your Majesty has been partial to the third prince for a day or two..."
"I am not unhappy because of the third prince." He just suddenly realized that he seemed to be too persistent in the past.
If he had spoken out earlier to those who had hurt him, they would not have taken advantage of him.
When the carriage arrived at Dingbei Palace, Chang Geng suddenly ran forward and said, "Master, it's not good. Many assassins came from other courtyards and surrounded Miss Tao."
What?
Xie Lan looked at Chang Geng angrily, "Are you disobeying orders again?"
Chang Geng explained, "It was Miss Tao's wish, and my subordinates also tried to persuade her, but Miss Tao..."
"Come here, send Chang Geng back to the camp. Without my order, he doesn't have to come back." After saying that, Xie Lan flew away.
Chang Geng knew that Xie Lan would be angry, but he didn't expect that Xie Lan would let him go back to the camp directly, and also said that he wouldn't have to come back later. Does that mean...
Tao Yaoyao stood in front of the window, looking at the waves of killers. Lao Gao frowned. Aren't these people here to find Jiu Qingzi's apprentice? Why do these people look like they want to kill people and silence them?
Could it be that Xie Lan guessed wrong?
The killer in the yard noticed her at this time and flew over to rush over. Seeing this, Tao Yaoyao quickly opened the mechanism on the window. When the man in black saw something was wrong, he changed direction and wanted to come in through the door.
At this time, Tao Yaoyao opened the trap over there again. The man in black did not expect that he had done so many traps. He was careless and was hit by an arrow.
With such top-notch agency skills, is she really Jiu Qingzi's apprentice?
At this time, Tao Yaoyao's face was covered with a veil, and because of the distance, the men in black couldn't see her face clearly. However, seeing that she was not panicked at all in the face of so many things, they concluded that she was the one they wanted. Looking for someone.
"Girl, we are here to ask you to come out. As long as you cooperate with us, the conditions are whatever you want. But if you don't know what to do..."
"Are you going to kill people and silence them?" Tao Yaoyao smiled nonchalantly, "Since I dare to stand here, it means that I don't take you seriously at all.
But you, are you really here to invite me? You all look like you want to kill me. It seems like you are all here to kill me. "
Having seen through his mind, the man in black prepared for a second wave of attacks.
Tao Yaoyao saw this and continued with a smile, "Let me guess, why do you want to kill me? If your master and Fufeng's master are the same, then you should know my master's ability and my existence. You You should be happy.
If you come to invite me today, you should be respectful, not like this.
So I guess you are the opponents of Master Fufeng. You are worried that I will be taken away by them, so you want to strike first. Is this lady right? "
The man in black sneered, "So what if you're right, so what if you're wrong?"
"That's right." Tao Yaoyao ignored the displeasure of the man in black and continued, "Let's talk about who you are. All the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the entire city of Kyoto, are the ones who are most anxious to find capable people and strangers. The two people were the third prince and the second prince.
King Dingbei has previously found out that Fufeng is from the third prince, so you are from the second prince. "
The face of the man in black changed greatly, and then his moves became more and more fierce. Upon seeing this, Tao Yaoyao knew that she had guessed correctly, so she opened all the mechanisms, closed the windows, went back to the house and lay on the bed.
These people are really stupid, and they were fooled by him in just a few words.
She originally thought it would take some effort, so she drank a lot of tea, and now she probably wouldn't be able to sleep even if she lay down.
Forget it, if you think about it, you might fall asleep the next moment.
Not long after Tao Yaoyao lay down, the yard became quiet. Are all these people dead so quickly? Tao Yaoyao stood up curiously, opened the window and looked outside. Under the moonlight, she saw Xie Lan, dressed in white, staring angrily at the window. She was so scared that she quickly closed the window.
Didn't he enter the palace? Back so soon.
Or did she open the window too quickly just now and see wrongly?
Tao Yaoyao turned around and carefully opened the window again. This time, Xie Lan stood directly in front of the window. She realized something was wrong and it was too late to close the window.
"Your Majesty."
Tao Yaoyao smiled with a flattering look on her face, "I have asked clearly that Fufeng belongs to the third prince. As for witnesses, it is probably difficult to find, so we will go find Jiu Qingzi early tomorrow morning and tell him about this matter... "
"Who asked you to do this?" came a cold and angry voice.
Tao Yaoyao was startled at first. When she came to her senses and opened her mouth to explain, Xie Lan spoke again, "Have I ever told you that you want to die in my territory?"
"Xie Lan, what do you mean?" Tao Yaoyao also became angry. She knew that it was very risky for her to do this, but she also said that she did not want to owe her anything, and she would not make fun of her own life.
And she saw it just now, wasn't she fine?
Why is he still so stubborn?
Or was he suffering from some anger in the palace? Thinking of the emperor's attitude towards him, Tao Yaoyao softened his tone, "Even if I was reckless in what happened today, you can talk to me and don't just die. Damn it, I told you, I am very Cherish your life."
Xie Lan grabbed her and threw her outside the yard regardless of her struggle.
Because Xie Lan was too strong and Tao Yaoyao struggled, the wound on her back was torn open by him. Tao Yaoyao turned pale on the spot in pain.
Xie Lan turned around to leave as if she didn't see it. She was so angry that her teeth ached, "What are you making a fuss about? Can you explain it clearly?"
With a bang, the courtyard door closed, and soon everything became quiet.
Tao Yaoyao stood in the front yard. He wanted to curse but was too embarrassed to wake up the servants in the house, so he could only go to the guest room next to him angrily.
Xie Lan called his servants to take care of the bodies here overnight, while he sat in the room with a violent look on his face.
Closing his eyes, his mind was filled with the scene just now. The scene overlapped with the scene a few years ago, making his memory clearer and more terrifying.
For so many years, he thought that as long as he hid some things and never touched them, he could treat them as if they had never been released.
But what happened happened, no matter how long it took, once a string was touched, all the memories they had hidden would resurface.
In the guest room, Tao Yaoyao was tired and sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed. When she closed her eyes, she saw Xie Lan standing among the corpses.
His sinister and ferocious look is terrifying even when I think about it now.
He has been hunted down so many times, seen many corpses, and been on the battlefield. He must have seen many such scenes. Why did he look like that?
It's like... being in hell.
