Meng Guxue didn't even think about having lunch. She hurried back to the room and sat on the bedside in a daze.
Xiaotao chased after her with a worried look in her hands, and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Guxue's heart was filled with fear, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red when she saw Xiao Tao.
He originally wanted to take Xiao Tao to Nanli Country with him, but now that he is in danger, he must not harm Xiao Tao's life.
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue pulled Xiao Tao to her side and said in a trembling voice:
"Xiao Tao, you can't go to Nanli Country with me. I will ask my mother to cancel your slave status. Then I will give you enough money to keep you around. You can find a way out!"
When Xiao Tao heard this, she fell to her knees in fright, and her eyes immediately turned red.
"Miss, did Xiao Tao make any mistake? Why did you suddenly stop wanting Xiao Tao?"
"Miss, Xiaotao just wants to follow you!"
Meng Guxue felt sour in her heart. She was unfamiliar with the country of Nanli, so why didn't she want someone to be by her side?
"Miss, please! Xiao Tao can correct whatever she did wrong! Don't drive Xiao Tao away!"
Xiao Tao said and kowtowed heavily on the pedals, making a thumping sound.
Seeing this, Meng Guxue hurriedly leaned over to help her and said urgently: "No! Xiaotao, don't do this! I told you that you don't have to kowtow and kneel!"
Xiao Tao's forehead was already flushed, and with tears in her eyes, she prayed again: "Then please don't drive Xiao Tao away, okay?"
Meng Guxue sighed deeply. She trusted Xiao Tao. Seeing this, she simply pulled Xiao Tao to sit on the footrest and said sadly:
"Xiao Tao, it's not that I want to drive you away. This trip to Nanli Country is life-threatening!"
"What!?"
Xiao Tao suddenly raised her voice and her eyes widened.
"Miss, you are going to get married, and the third prince and the second prince are guarding you all the way, how can you be in danger?"
Meng Guxue's face turned slightly pale, and she said miserably: "Xiao Tao, you don't understand, the one who wants to kill me is the second prince! I can't explain too much to you, anyway you -"
Xiaotao suddenly tightened her grip on Meng Guxue's sleeves and quickly took over the topic.
"Miss, if your life is in danger, then Xiaotao will go with you! No matter what, Xiaotao will protect you!"
When Meng Guxue heard this, her mouth opened slightly, she was shocked and moved at the same time.
"Xiao Tao, you..."
Seeing Meng Guxue's stunned look, Xiao Tao burst into laughter instead of crying.
Knowing that the young lady didn't dislike her made her feel at ease, really.
"Miss, Xiao Tao is very disrespectful. Since your temperament changed drastically, you really don't look like the boudoir lady in Beijing at all. Xiao Tao was once very worried, for fear that if you caused trouble, Xiao Tao, as a slave, would take the blame."
"It is true that you have been causing trouble, but you never let the master and madam anger Xiaotao."
"Xiao Tao never knows what equality means. Xiao Tao is just a slave."
"But you don't allow Xiao Tao to kneel, you don't allow Xiao Tao to kowtow, you don't allow Xiao Tao to call herself a slave, you always say thank you to Xiao Tao, and you also teach Xiao Tao how to make soap and lipstick..."
Having said this, Xiao Tao couldn't help but blush again.
"Miss, no one is perfect, but here at Xiaotao, you are really excellent."
"If your life is really in danger this time, even if Xiao Tao dies for the young lady -"
"Okay, don't say anything else!"
Meng Guxue quickly raised her hand to cover Xiaotao's mouth, her heart filled with emotion.
She was a time traveler, so she couldn't stand the people around her being so groveling, so she casually asked them to change.
But I didn't expect that this matter would become such a great blessing to Xiao Tao.
Since her time travel, her life has always been a failure. Even Mrs. Meng can't hide her disappointment. Only silly Xiaotao still regards her as a treasure.
"Xiao Tao, thank you, really. Since you refuse to leave, then continue to stay with me. I won't sit still and wait for death!"
After saying this, Meng Guxue's face was full of determination.
Xiao Tao was filled with joy when she heard this and nodded heavily, "Miss, whatever you want to do, Xiao Tao will listen to you!"
Meng Guxue stood up after hearing this and began to pace back and forth in the room.
"Help, I need more help!"
Xiao Tao then asked worriedly: "Who are you looking for, young lady? The second prince...that is His Highness, who can deal with the second prince?"
Meng Guxue squeezed her hands and was thinking in her heart.
In the dream, the second prince's biggest enemies were nothing more than two, one was the prince and the other was the Qiao family.
The prince... The prince was in the East Palace, and she had no way of contacting him. Besides, she couldn't win the prince's trust. After thinking about it, the only one left was the Qiao family!
Although the Qiao family suffered a complete defeat at the hands of the second prince in the previous life, things were different in this life. Even Hanya Xian was not poisoned.
correct!
Let’s take Han Yaxian’s poisoning as a stepping stone!
She also holds some secrets about the second prince, and she even has a shocking guess!
As long as the Qiao family can protect her safely to Nanli Country, she will leak everything to them!
In the dream, the Qiao family was too loyal and unprepared, and that's why they ended up being destroyed.
If there had been her warning this time, Qiao Zhongguo was, after all, a great general who was once famous all over the world, and he might not lose in a fight with the second prince!
Thinking of this, Meng Guxue's heart suddenly became certain, and she said to Xiao Tao in a deep voice:
"The Qiao family! Xiaotao, I want to see the Qiao family!"
Xiao Tao was shocked. She knew the name of the Qiao family. General Qiao was a great hero praised by everyone.
But can the great hero defeat the prince?
But she believed everything the young lady said. If the young lady said she could, she would definitely do it!
"Miss, how do you want to meet Qiao's family?"
Meng Guxue's thoughts were spinning and she suddenly asked: "Xiao Tao, did you say this morning that the emperor granted marriage to Zuo Anning and Tan Hanchi?"
Xiao Tao nodded blankly, "Yes, it has spread all over Beijing."
Meng Guxue pondered for a while and nodded immediately, "Zuo Anning is Mrs. Qiao's niece. With such great news, the Qiao family must go to the Duke of Yanguo's house to congratulate her."
"Although I have no friendship with Zuo Anning, I can only go there shamelessly now. Outsiders don't know what my friendship with Zuo Anning is like!"
"It would be best if you can meet the Qiao family. Even if you can't, I still have to trouble Duke Yan to invite the Qiao family!"
"This time, no matter what, I have to meet Qiao Zhongguo!"
Meng Guxue made up her mind, immediately cleansed her face, changed into a set of clothes for meeting guests, and pulled Xiao Tao into the carriage.
Xiao Tao felt a little uneasy, "Miss, you said that the second prince is going to be harmful to you, so will it be okay if we go out?"
Meng Guxue's mind was extremely clear at the moment. Hearing this, he sneered, "If he attacks me in Beijing, he will really have a seizure!"
"Besides, Baili Chengyou must secretly send someone to follow me, Xiaotao, don't worry!"
"I have to think carefully about what I'm going to say when I see the Qiao family later. Xiaotao, please watch carefully and call me when you get to Duke Yan's residence."
Xiao Tao quickly agreed.
