Tang Yuyao said: "Let's go back!"
"Go back?" Qian couldn't help but raise his voice, "Go back where?"
"Anguo Temple." Unable to tell her true purpose, Tang Yuyao could only say: "I left something there, and I have to go back and get it."
Qin Yuan's voice came from outside: "Master Tang, what is it? I asked someone to go back and get it for you."
Tang Yuyao's attitude was very firm: "This very important thing is at the Empress Dowager's house. I must go back and get it myself. We can go faster when we go back, and it won't waste much time."
Others are not qualified to get things from the Queen Mother.
After hearing this, Qin Yuan could only agree no matter how reluctant he was.
But Qian still wanted to persuade Tang Yuyao: "Master Tang, we have finally come this far. If it is not something irreplaceable, let's forget it? It is very dangerous to go back. If King Cheng finds out and sends someone to chase us, we will These people are in danger. You are still pregnant. If there is anything wrong with you, master..." Speaking of Zhao Ting, Qian suddenly felt sad and choked up: "Master Tang, just before I went back, I told my slave, If she hadn't come to Chizhou years ago, I would have asked my slave to tell you that if you meet a man who treats you well, take your children and remarry. As long as you and your children are well, it will be fine."
Qian is a woman who doesn't know anything, but she knows that if she can ask her master to say such words, it must be that the master will be in great danger when he returns from this trip. Now that they have finally escaped this far, they can cause less trouble to their master. If they go back at this time, King Cheng will kill without blinking an eye!
"He...he really said that?" Tang Yuyao's voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Yes! Master really said that!" Qian nodded heavily and said, "So Master Tang, we won't go back, okay?"
Tang Yuyao did not hesitate, she even became more determined: "No, let's go back, go back immediately!"
Because she was arrested by Zhao Jue before, Zhao Ting sent more people to escort her to Chizhou this time. Tang Yuyao knew that with so many people there, even if she really met Zhao Jue when she went back, she would be fine. What's more, as long as Zhao Jue is not stupid, he can think that it is easy to catch her once, but it will not be easy to catch her again. If he really wants to do something now, he is more likely to find Zhao Ting.
She won't be in danger for the time being when she goes back, but on the contrary, she can let Zhao Ting know the truth about her life experience. This is what she should do for him. She believed that the child in her belly would think the same way, and even though it would be safe to leave, he would still be willing to accompany her on a adventure.

After Zhao Ting returned to the city, the first thing he returned to was Prince An's Mansion.
He sent someone to guard the door and transported all the books obtained from Zhao Jue to the study room. He asked more than ten people to read through them together for almost two hours, and finally selected some important information. The news was hidden somewhere else, and he only took two or three volumes. When he heard that Zhao Jue was coming, he left directly through the back door.
He went directly to the East Palace.
The prince was surprised when he heard that he was coming. He didn't want to see him at first. After all, the prince also saw that Emperor Xuan was going to attack him. No matter what the grudges and grudges of the previous generation were about, when he came to him, even if Zhao Ting died, Even if it was wronged, he would not care or ask questions either.
However, he was a little curious after all, but this person had never approached him.
Thinking that it wouldn't matter if they met him once, the prince asked someone to invite him into the house.
"Brother, please see the prince." After entering the room, Zhao Ting bowed and saluted.
The prince sat on the throne and waited for him to finish his salute before smiling and waving his hands: "My brother, there is no need to be polite. Seventh brother, what do you want to do when you come to my brother's place today?"
Zhao Ting straightened up and replied while still standing below: "I want to negotiate a deal with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Oh? What deal?" The prince's smile grew wider.
He talked affectionately about brotherhood, but this seventh brother insisted on negotiating a deal with him.
He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He really looked down on this seventh brother. What kind of deal could he negotiate with him?
Zhao Ting glanced at the two eunuchs beside the prince.
The prince found it even more amusing, and waved his hand to chase them away: "You all go down."
The two eunuchs looked at Zhao Ting warily and refused to move: "Prince..."
"Go down!" The prince said with a serious face and a sharp voice, "You are talking to your seventh brother. Why are you worried?"
The two eunuchs saw that he was angry, but Zhao Ting never spoke, so they retreated.
After the door was taken, Zhao Ting took a step forward. Standing, he could look at the sitting prince. He said: "Your Highness, I didn't kill King Cheng last time. I'm afraid I won't do it next time." It’s easy. And... even if you really have the chance to take action, you still have to worry about the displeasure of your father and mother. If it is affected by this... then the gain outweighs the loss, right?"
He didn't make his words very clear, but the prince knew what he meant.
Slowly putting away the smile on his face, the prince slapped the desk in front of him hard: "Zhao Ting, you are so brave!"
Zhao Ting was not frightened at all and remained calm.
The prince continued to shout angrily: "Zhao Ting, do you know what you said? If you talk about the father, the emperor and the queen, and alienate the brotherhood between Gu and the fourth brother, just by saying these words to you, Gu will send you to the sky prison!"
Zhao Ting said slowly: "If there is a way to disqualify the king without spending a single soldier or horse, I wonder if the prince would be interested?"
The prince's face was filled with anger, but under his pressure, Zhao Ting never showed any timidity.
Finally, he laughed and sat back: "Seventh brother, it turns out that you are the one who is more than just a person!"
Zhao Ting didn't answer, he just looked like he was waiting for his reply.
The prince stopped laughing and lowered his voice deliberately: "What benefit do you want Gu to give you?"
Zhao Tingdao: "Brother, I have nothing else to ask for."
"Humph." The prince snorted coldly, asking for nothing else. He didn't believe it at all.
"I dare not hide it from His Highness the Crown Prince. I just want to vent my anger. Of course, it is also because I have offended King Cheng. If Your Highness the Crown Prince takes action, then King Cheng will never trouble me again." This is indeed the purpose of Zhao Ting. , Of course, if their brothers fight and cause chaos in the court, Emperor Xuan's attention will probably be diverted, and then it will be easier for him to lead people to escape.
The prince did not kill Zhao Jue, but he paid close attention to Zhao Jue these days, so he also knew about Zhao Jue and Zhao Ting's feud.
Just because I knew it, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what Zhao Ting said was true.
Facing Zhao Jue, Zhao Ting would only suffer, but if he pushed him out to block it, Zhao Ting would be safe. It's just that... Zhao Ting has a little cleverness, but not a big one. If he begs himself to save his life, he may not agree because he can completely defeat Zhao Jue, although he doesn't want to take this trip. flood.
"In that case, I would like to remember you as a favor. If this can be done, I will definitely return your favor in the future." The prince promised.
Zhao Ting nodded and presented three volumes.
The prince opened the pages with great interest. After reading them one by one, his face showed disappointment: "That's all?"
Zhao Tingdao: "Of course there are more than this. I have five cartloads of such books here. And these three books are the least conspicuous among them, and they also record the most inconspicuous news. There are thousands of more books here. Useful. Whether you want to use these to overthrow Cheng Wang or keep them for your own use, it’s up to you. However, I must ensure my own safety first before I can give you the more useful ones. .”
The prince couldn't help but get excited: "Is this true?"
Zhao Ting nodded: "Seriously!"
The prince couldn't help but think to himself, Zhao Jue was so stupid that he dared to leave such useful information casually in Jinjiang Tower, just like Zhao Tingquan. It's ridiculous that someone with a human head and a pig brain wants to compete with him for the throne. If they weren't a compatriot from the same mother, he would have killed him countless times!
"Deal!" The prince agreed directly.
Zhao Ting then said: "These three books will be left with the prince for now. In addition, I also have Xie Yi here with my brother."
What Zhao Ting gave was the property deed. As long as Zhao Jue is completely suppressed, the future high position will definitely belong to the prince. If he cannot take away his business in the capital, it is better to give it to the prince than throw it away. In this way, if he is far away from the capital in the future, the prince should be able to be more generous.
When the prince looked at this, he really had the idea of letting Zhao Ting live.

At this moment, Tang Yuyao had returned to Anguo Temple, got off the carriage, and immediately ran towards the Empress Dowager.
