Caiyun silently followed Zhao Ting, trotting and looking at Zhao Ting's profile carefully with the faint light of the lantern in Chen An's hand in front. This was His Highness Prince An. Even though she knew that he was an unfavored prince, if she was not favored anymore and had the opportunity to serve him, it would be smoke rising from her family's ancestral graves.
What's more, he was so handsome. Just looking at her like this made her feel like a deer and her legs became weak.
What kind of lucky path has she taken?
She had just entered the palace and was able to serve Prince An. When she gave birth to a son and a half daughter for him one day, she would really not have to worry about it in her life!
Caiyun followed Zhao Ting back to her residence with a proud look on her face. Because Chen An had assigned her a waiter, the place was brightly lit at the moment. As soon as she entered the house, hot tea was served there.
Caiyun took the tea and presented it to Zhao Ting personally, and said thoughtfully: "It's already this hour, Master, would you like some midnight snack first?"
Zhao Ting did not accept the tea, but waved his hand away: "You all go down first!"
Chen An was very discerning and immediately called the person serving Caiyun to go down. When he got outside, he turned around and closed the door to the upper room. But there was no joy on his face. He was not the brainless girl Caiyun. He could see clearly that his master had no intention of sleeping with girl Caiyun when he came over.
Caiyun really couldn't think of anything else at this moment. When she saw that she and Zhao Ting were the only ones left in the room, and the door was closed, she immediately blushed like a rosy cloud: "Master...Master, I'd better ask me to wash myself first. Then I’ll serve you.”
Zhao Ting didn't care what she said at all, he just said: "Why are you going to Yuyao's place?"
Caiyun didn't turn around for a while: "...ah?"
But when she raised her head, she saw Zhao Ting sitting at the top with an expressionless face, his eyes seemed to be filled with ice, and all the charm in her heart disappeared. It turned out that she had misunderstood. The master had no intention of doing anything with her, and even... he seemed to be interrogating her?
This thought filled Caiyun with anger. What could she do? Could she still bully Tang Yuyao?
As soon as she entered the house, she was thrown into a corner. If she had the courage, she wouldn't dare to think like that!
She lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I am just going to accompany Sister Yuyao, and work with her to make needlework for you, nothing more."
"Then you came to the palace and were ordered to inquire about what news? Once you have inquired, how are you going to spread the word?" Zhao Ting's tone did not waver at all.
Caiyun suddenly raised her head in shock: "Master! I'm not here! I'm here to serve you on the orders of the empress. I don't want to inquire about any news, let alone spread it! I'm just an ordinary woman. I don’t know what you’re talking about!” She was so shocked and frightened that she knelt down in fear as soon as she finished speaking.
Zhao Ting didn't really doubt Caiyun at first, but seeing her reaction at this moment further proved his suspicion.
Yes, there is no need. Giving him Lu Qinghe as the princess is enough!
"From now on, you stay in your room and are not allowed to go out!" He stood up, opened the door and strode away without looking at Caiyun who was kneeling on the ground.
Caiyun still looked miserable. After looking at the dark night for a while, Fang started to cry in a low voice. His joy was in vain and he was completely embarrassed!
Moreover, she is not even allowed to go out, so what hope does she have in the future?

Zhao Ting returned to Taoyuan, only to find that Taoyuan had been locked and the door was closed.
Even Chen An couldn't say it was Tang Yuyao's fault. After all, the master had told him to go to Miss Caiyun's house, so it was normal for the house to be locked.
Of course, Chen An didn't dare to give Tang Yuyao eye drops at this moment, because his master was full of suppressed anger, and he was really afraid that his master would explode without warning. So he whispered: "Master Tang, I'm afraid you may have misunderstood that you are going to see Miss Caiyun. Master, please wait a moment while I call the door."
"No need!" Zhao Ting stopped him, "I will sleep in the study tonight."
In fact, although she had been locked up for a while, Tang Yuyao was not asleep at the moment. She tossed and turned on the bed for a long time like making pancakes, and finally got up and held an oil lamp to look at her small vault. It was a real treasury, with a pile of gold ingots, a pile of silver ingots, a lot of jewelry, and a box full of national silver notes. These were all given to her by Zhao Ting little by little. Tang Yuyao believed that Zhao Ting, who had given her these things in this life, would have had her in his heart at that moment.
It's just strange, why would he think of going to Caiyun tonight?
Of course Tang Yuyao would not think that Zhao Ting would keep other women away from her, but in his previous life he clearly refused to use Caiyun until she died.
What's more, she had a vague suspicion that he already knew the candidate for the future Princess An. Logically speaking, he should keep himself clean for Lu Qinghe. How could it be...
If you can’t figure it out, just don’t think about it!
Today's trip went smoothly, and giving gifts to Zhao Ting also pleased him. Her chance to escape was already in front of her.
Just these things, let alone all of them, she couldn't even take away a fifth.
Opening her purse, she found two banknotes and some broken silver in the dark green purse. This was her private room and she had to keep these close to her body. As for the rest, she only took two gold ingots and silver ingots, and only two national currency notes with a face value of one thousand taels. She only took so much, Zhao Ting shouldn't care, right?
Silver notes can be put together with the purse, but gold ingots and silver ingots can only be put away in a small bag first. If you go out, just put them in your sleeves. If you have money, you can buy anything. You don’t need to carry anything else. It’s too easy to attract attention with luggage.
You have to go to the Lu family immediately after leaving. If Lu Zhongkai and Jiang are good to the child, then they will leave two thousand taels of silver notes.
If it's not good, then take the child out of the city immediately.
I think it's very safe to leave at this time. She didn't go back to her hometown either, lest Zhao Ting find her, she could just go to Chizhou City. Apart from her hometown, it was the only place where she could feel at ease. When she got there, she went to the countryside to find a slightly remote town. To be safe, she could stay there for a year and a half. After Zhao Ting married the princess and even had a young prince and a young princess, she would come out and do it again. A bit of a profitable business.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuyao's worries and doubts were completely gone. She couldn't even think of Zhao Ting anymore, and she only thought about the good days after leaving.

After a good night's sleep, Tang Yuyao got up very early the next day. Looking at Lan Xiang's bulging face early in the morning, she remembered that Zhao Ting went to Caiyun House yesterday. One night passed, everything was finalized, and Tang Yuyao finally sighed softly.
Since he was busy with Concubine Li's birthday party recently, Zhao Ting didn't have to go to court from today on. He stayed up almost all night. When he heard the movement in Taoyuan, he came over immediately.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yuyao was very surprised to see him: "Master, why are you still in the house at this hour?"
Zhao Tingdao: "I've been busy lately, so I don't have to go to court for the time being."
Tang Yuyao nodded and asked naturally: "Did you have breakfast at Miss Caiyun's place?"
At that time, Zhao Ting was raising his foot to enter the door. Hearing Tang Yuyao's natural question, he suddenly stopped. He concealed his emotions and looked over as calmly as possible, and saw that Tang Yuyao was calmer than him, and even had a slight smile on her face.
She mistakenly thought he spent the night with another woman, but she didn't care.
No jealousy, no anger, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Whether or not a person has you in his heart, and how much of you he is, may be deceived and cannot be seen clearly for a moment, but when we get along with each other every day, unless we are deceiving ourselves, we can see clearly! Yuyao, she doesn't have him in her heart, not at all.
At this moment, the blood on Zhao Ting's face faded completely. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't lift his feet.
"Master, what's wrong?" Tang Yuyao finally realized something was wrong.
"Jade..." Zhao Ting spoke, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't even pronounce Tang Yuyao's name.
Tang Yuyao couldn't help but said: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? I'll call you..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Ting had already leaned forward, pressed her against the door frame, and kissed her with a violent emotion.
