Xiuqin was waiting at the back door. When she saw Tang Yuyao from a distance, she smiled and greeted her.
"Ms. Tang, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."
Tang Yuyao looked at her with a cold look: "I'll go up alone and ask them to wait here, okay?"
Xiu Qin glanced behind Tang Yuyao and nodded when she saw Xiao Yunduo. Ordinary women would not want to come into contact with a place like Hualou, let alone a girl as young as Xiao Yunduo. Not to mention Tang Yuyao's unwillingness, even she felt it was not good to come in.
With a wink at the leading man in black, Xiu Qin stepped aside and signaled Tang Yuyao to go first.
Zhao Jue was still in Miss Haitang's room, but Miss Haitang was not waiting in the room. When Tang Yuyao stepped in the door, she saw only Zhao Jue. The injury was almost healed. Zhao Jue lazily leaned on the back of his chair, looking at Tang Yuyao who came in with a squinted smile, holding a glass of wine casually.
Tang Yuyao stood still at the door, raised her head, and met Zhao Jue's gaze with an expressionless face.
Zhao Jue's smile was fleeting, and his eyes quickly moved down from Tang Yuyao's face to her abdomen.
As for Zhao Jue, he doesn't care about women because with his status, he can capture all kinds of women. But like Tang Yuyao, when faced with danger, a weak woman had the courage to drive a speeding carriage and dare to jump off the carriage. She clearly hated herself but did not watch her die. This was the first time he had seen such a woman.
What's more, this is a beautiful woman.
She was stunningly beautiful when she was embarrassed, but now she is a cold beauty when she is expressionless.
It's just a pity that there is another man's seed in her belly.
Zhao Jue was angry in his heart. Seeing the woman he had been looking forward to for more than ten days standing in front of him, there was a bit of disgust in his eyes: "Why are you still standing there? Since you are here, come over and pour me wine!"
Tang Yuyao walked across to him, but did not obediently pour him wine. Instead, she asked: "Your Majesty, did you send someone to capture this slave? Are you ignoring the brotherhood with our Lord?"
Zhao Jue chuckled: "Brotherhood?"
Tang Yuyao didn't know why he was laughing, so she put her hand on her lower abdomen and said: "This slave already has the flesh and blood of our prince. You sent someone to kidnap this slave. As long as our prince knows about it, he will definitely find it as soon as possible. When the time comes, How are you going to explain it to our prince?"
Zhao Jue snorted: "Why didn't you say, if I catch you and want to deal with Zhao Ting, is this king overthinking it?"
Tang Yuyao immediately fell silent.
Previously, she felt that she was not worth mentioning to Zhao Ting, but now, even if it was not because of the child, she knew that Zhao Ting would not ignore her.
"Who kind of brother is he? He's just a bastard!" Zhao Jue looked disdainful and uttered evil words. When Tang Yuyao was shocked, he suddenly stood up, leaned forward, and grabbed Tang Yuyao's chin.
Tang Yuyao reacted and took two steps back.
Zhao Jue caught the opportunity, threw his hand on the table to hold on, raised his head and stared at Tang Yuyao and sneered: "What? Are you really following Zhao Ting wholeheartedly?"
When he caught Tang Yuyao before, Zhao Jue could see clearly that she didn't care about anything else just to survive. But at this moment, he could see more clearly. Even though she knew he was in danger, she still avoided his touch, and the disgust in her eyes was clear.
In just over ten days, this woman's attitude has turned upside down.
She was clearly not like this before...
Tang Yuyao didn't answer but asked: "What do you mean? What do you mean it's just..."
Tang Yuyao couldn't express the word "bastard" when it came to Zhao Ting.
Zhao Jue straightened up and sat down lazily: "What else could it mean? Calling him a bastard just means that Concubine Li is having sex with someone else!" He didn't mind using the most unpleasant words to attack Zhao Ting in front of Tang Yuyao, saying Then, he looked at Tang Yuyao's abdomen and said, "You son of a bastard, little bastard!"
Tang Yuyao was so angry that her face was livid, and she gritted her teeth hard to hold back.
"My lord, what do you want by kidnapping your slaves and servants of Prince An's palace?" With so many people's lives in Zhao Jue's hands, Tang Yuyao had to give in and change the subject to talk about the most important thing at the moment.
Zhao Jue shook his head and said, "Yao Yao, you are so unlovable like this."
Even Zhao Ting has never had such an intimate title.
Tang Yuyao had been pregnant and had no reaction until now, but at this moment, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable nausea. She turned her head uncontrollably, threw herself outside the door and retched several times. When she straightened up in discomfort, she realized that someone was already standing behind her.
She immediately moved away and turned around to look at Zhao Jue warily.
Zhao Jue had long understood what was going on, and his eyes were red with anger. Looking at Tang Yuyao's appearance, he just wanted to slap her out. This woman! This bastard woman! How dare you find him disgusting!
Tang Yuyao felt the danger and hurriedly said: "My lord, if you want to threaten our lord, you must not hurt this slave and the child in her belly! If not... otherwise this slave will jump from here, and you will have no leverage by then. Our prince will never listen to you again!"
Zhao Jue is rational after all.
Although he admitted that he was interested in the woman in front of him, in the end, what was more important was Zhao Ting, Concubine Li Guifei and Zhao Yu behind Zhao Ting.
He suppressed his emotions, but he knew in his heart that as long as he achieved his goal and killed Zhao Ting, the woman in front of him would not be left to be rounded or flattened by him.
"It seems that you are very smart. In that case, there is no need for me to say more. Just stay here obediently for the time being. As long as you don't cause trouble, I can guarantee that your group will not be in danger for the time being." Zhao Jue said , no longer wanted to look at Tang Yuyao. If he took one more look, he was afraid that he would kill the bastard in this woman's belly if he couldn't help it.
Tang Yuyao hesitated for a moment, but then said: "Please ask the prince to change this slave's place."
Zhao Jue thought that this was the Flower House, but he didn't want to bring a woman who had lived in the Flower House around him in the future, so he snorted coldly and called Xiu Qin.
~
Although she came out of the flower house successfully, Tang Yuyao was still close to collapse when she returned to the carriage.
My forehead and palms were all sweaty, because I was too nervous, and my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. She quickly took a few deep breaths, and then said to Qin Yuan and the guards: "King Cheng wants to use us to threaten the master. We are not in danger of our lives at the moment, but after that... I don't know what he wants the master to do, and I don't know when the time comes. At that time, will he be able to let us go?"
Qin Yuan knew Zhao Jue's plan, and because he knew it, his expression became a little solemn.
He knew his master's ability, so he was not afraid of the conditions proposed by King Cheng, but once he got involved in this matter, he would not be able to escape. As for Zhao Jue, he is likely to burn the bridge across the river, and by then it will probably be a life-or-death situation.
The car was filled with only female relatives, so he couldn't say these words.
Tang Yuyao didn't ask at this time. The person driving the car outside was still Zhao Jue. If there was something wrong, we should wait until we arrived at the destination.
It's the back door again, but you can't tell where it is just from the back door.
The group of people got off the carriage, and Xiu Qin also got off the carriage in front and said with a smile: "Ms. Tang, let's go in!"
Entering from the back door, there was a clean and tidy courtyard. Although there were stairs at the back door, Xiuqin took them into the upper room and went up the stairs to the third floor. After walking inside, Tang Yuyao knew where this place was. This was a teahouse. The first and second floors were for people to drink tea. The third floor was empty and was now occupied by them. The fourth floor... stood on the third floor. Tang Yuyao poked her head out of the window of the wing room and confirmed that there was indeed a fourth floor. But as soon as they came up, the stairs reached to the third floor.
So to go up to the fourth floor, you have to take the stairs at the back door?
This is really a strange place. There are people doing business downstairs, but Zhao Jue arranged them here.
But they really couldn't escape. Zhao Jue sent people to guard the stairs on the third floor.
Without taking the stairs, only Qin Yuan and the guards, who were highly skilled in martial arts, could leave, and no one else could even think about it.
"Master, what should we do?" Qian looked at Qin Yuan with confusion.
Qin Yuan glanced at Tang Yuyao, gestured to the table with his eyes, and replied to Qian's words: "Don't worry, they will contact the master." As he spoke, he had already soaked in tea and wrote on the table: "Walls have ears."
Qian is illiterate, but he is not stupid. Just by looking at Qin Yuan's behavior, he knows that there are certain things he should not say.
Tang Yuyao was indeed literate. She also dipped her tea in the water and wrote: "What does King Cheng want from the master?"
