Coming out of the second prince's bedroom, Xie Lan asked her, "What else do you want to do?"
Tao Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "You look like I'm the only one who will die in two days."
Xie Lan still didn't speak, and Tao Yaoyao suddenly felt very boring.
"Forget it, go back to sleep." She turned to leave, but he stopped her, "I have something to do with today's disaster, so no matter what you want to do tonight, I will be with you. "
Is this because he feels guilty?
Tao Yaoyao frowned, "I wanted to enter the palace myself. You are the most innocent person in this matter. It was me that Aunt Zhou arrested. If you don't save me, you won't be arrested because of me." , nor will he be poisoned by her. Nor will he only have two days left to live."
"So if compensation is really needed, it should be me, not you."
Tao Yaoyao asked him in turn, "Is there anything you want to do? No matter what, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you tonight."
Xie Lan has never thought about this. To be precise, he has never thought about himself since the Xie family was beheaded when he was seven years old. So when Tao Yaoyao asked him what he thought, he was confused. of.
After Tao Yaoyao saw it, she stood there and waited quietly for him to think.
I don't know how much time passed, but Tao Yaoyao mentioned a place. After the two of them left the palace together, they took a carriage straight to an abandoned house in the west of the city. At this time, the sky lit up slightly.
When Tao Yaoyao got off the carriage and asked him what he was going to do next, he put his arm around her waist and jumped up. When Tao Yaoyao came to her senses, she was already sitting on the eaves.
Looking from here, you can clearly see the sun rising slowly from the east, spreading its light on the earth little by little. The sun slowly turns into a huge ball, crawling into the sky little by little.
He wants to see the sunrise?
After Tao Yaoyao realized what Xie Lan meant, she subconsciously looked around. The house seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The yard was covered with dust and leaves, and there were spider webs everywhere on the eaves.
But the whole house is not dilapidated. It must have been well repaired by the previous owner.
Why didn't she know that there was such a house in Kyoto City? Judging from the location, it was not remote, but why was this house always empty?
"Your Majesty, whose mansion is here?"
When she raised her head to ask, she happened to see Xie Lan looking at a certain part of the house with a nostalgic face. They had known each other for such a long time, and this was the first time she had seen him show such an expression.
At that time, I missed and couldn’t let go.
It turned out that he had also been dependent on someone or something.
By the way, she remembered that Xiao Shuo said that he had a very good relationship with the Xie family, and he often stayed at the Xie family when he was a child. Could it be that this place was... Thinking of this possibility, Tao Yaoyao immediately changed the subject.
"As the New Year is approaching, the streets are much busier than before. So many vendors come out to sell things early in the morning. My lord, are you hungry? I'll treat you to breakfast..."
"This is the Xie family." Xie Lan suddenly spoke with a heavy tone in his words. Tao Yaoyao opened her mouth to interrupt him, but he continued, "When I was a child, I lived here longer than in the palace. many.
At that time, my mother often said that I was not his child, but belonged to the Xie family.
My grandfather loved me the most and educated me as if he were his own grandson. My brothers, sisters, and younger brothers all loved me. Before I was seven years old, I was really happy. "
Tao Yaoyao sat aside, twirling her fingers uneasily, wanting to stop but fearing that he would be unhappy. Just when he was struggling, he suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go."
Tao Yaoyao looked over doubtfully. But he said, "Aren't you hungry?"
But this time, Tao Yaoyao didn't want to leave. She tried her best, stood up and pulled him, and asked in Xie Lan's surprised eyes, "What happened later? No one told me half of the past."
"Do you really want to hear it?" Xie Lan frowned.
"As long as you want to say something, I want to hear it. And I also want to know your past." Tao Yaoyao pulled her to sit down again, "Actually, I have long been curious about why the emperor is so cold to you, and why you are so cold. I hate myself so much."
"Actually, I asked Xiao Shuo last night, but I could tell that he concealed a lot of the truth, and he was not the person involved, so not everything he said was true. So I want to hear what you have to say."
This reason was something Xie Lan didn't expect, but he was more curious, "Why do you think what I said is true? Didn't you always say before that you don't like the royal family and nobles, and think they are hypocritical and full of calculations?"
"But you are different from them." Tao Yaoyao said firmly, "I can see that you are a good person, and I don't care what others say about the Xie family, I believe you are innocent.
Besides, we only have two days left. If you tell me, you won't suffer. "
What does this have to do with whether you suffer a loss or not?
Xie Lan looked aside in a rare good mood, "When I was seven years old, my cousin was molested by the young master of the Bai family when she went out. I wanted to protect my cousin, but I accidentally beat him to death.
No matter how I explained it to my father afterwards, he still didn't believe it was an accident.
There’s an explanation for the Bai family’s reluctance. That’s because I was young and didn’t understand the twists and turns involved. It wasn’t until I was older that I understood that at that time, what the Bai family wanted was always the life and death of the Xie family. Not me.
I was unwilling, unwilling, and forced them to take action against the Xie family.
If I had compromised, only my grandfather might have died, but because of my persistence, the entire Xie family was beheaded. "
"That's why they all blame me."
So that's it.
But isn't the Bai family the culprit of this matter? Why does everyone blame Xie Lan, and he was so young back then.
"In a wealthy family, they never look at fairness, right or wrong. They only look at profit. In this matter, the Bai family seems to be the biggest gainer, but in fact, my father is the fisherman who gets it." Beneficial people."
Tao Yaoyao has watched the palace fighting drama, so she naturally knows the reason why a big tree attracts wind. Moreover, Xiao Shuo also said last night that even if Xie Lan didn't happen, it would be a matter of time for the emperor to deal with the Xie family.
It just happened that this incident happened and he took the blame.
The emperor got what he wanted, but he never thought that Xie Lan was only seven years old at the time. What impact would this incident have on him?
No, the emperor is so selfish, it would be strange if he would really consider Xie Lan.
Just like last night, when he convicted Nanny Zhou of her crime, he was quick and clear, but once the matter involved the Queen Mother, he began to hesitate and look around her.
Just like how he treated the third prince.
So, what he cares about can be indulged, and what he doesn’t care about can be ignored?
Why?
