When I woke up, it was already dark. After eating something casually, we went to the cold palace. At this time, the queen was still unconscious. When the doctors saw her coming in, their eyes were filled with smiles.

Tao Yaoyao saw this and was puzzled, "But what happened?"

The director of the hospital was afraid that Tao Yaoyao would be frightened by them, so he quickly explained, "We have been researching for two days, but we still haven't come up with a solution, so we asked the girl to help."

Xie family

Xie Lan sat under the ginkgo tree, silently watching the deserted yard and the birds that flew over and away from time to time on the eaves. At this time, someone flew in from the side.

Xie Lan didn't raise his head when he heard the movement, and still stared at one location.

Xie Fei stood under the moonlight, looking at his back. After waiting for a while, his lips curled up slightly, and then he sat opposite him, "I heard that the Tao family girl was in the palace recently?"

"yes."

"Then when you enter the palace tomorrow, tell her that I thought her proposal last time was not bad."

Xie Lan looked away and looked at him, "What's the proposal?"

Xie Fei smiled and said, "Of course she fell in love with me and wanted to marry into my Xie family." Seeing Xie Lan frown, he continued, "I have said before that if anyone avenges me, I can agree to it." Anything she asks for.

Miss Tao's condition is barely acceptable to me. "

Xie Lan seemed to not recognize him. After staring at him for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Are you kidding?"

"I never joke about this kind of thing." Xie Fei thought of something and sneered, "Speaking of which, Miss Tao is a great benefactor of my Xie family. Unlike some people who keep saying that the Xie family is his relatives, but Secretly, he hid the evidence for several years.

Xie Lan, if Tao Yaoyao hadn't pulled you to do this this time, when would you have waited to come up with this evidence?

You have seen with your own eyes how that person treats your relatives, but you are still willing to bear everything for him. Your father and son have a deep love. I can't understand it, and I don't want to understand it.

Even if you help the Xie family this time, I will not forget your kindness. Because this is what you owe me to the Xie family. "

Xie Lan frowned, "Things are not what you think..."

Xie Lan wanted to explain, but Xie Fei didn't have the patience to listen. He stood up and was about to leave. When he walked to the corner, he told him again, "I know you like that girl, but she fell in love with me first. You can't force her to do anything."

"Who said..."

"Why, you want to deny it again?" Xie Fei thought he was extremely boring, "Ever since you were a child, you have been fond of duplicity, but now, you are still unwilling to face your true feelings.

Xie Lan, what are you living for in this life? In the past, I felt that I was living like a zombie. Now looking at you, I suddenly feel that compared to you, I can live a much more arbitrary life. "

"You are right, the enemy of the Xie family is not the Bai family, but His Majesty." Xie Lan suddenly changed the subject, "I didn't produce these evidences because they could only prove the Bai family's crimes.

I originally wanted to follow this clue to investigate. If that didn't work, I would create a gap between the Bai family and the emperor. In this way, maybe I could find some clues.

But what happened in the palace last night made me confused..."

Xie Fei turned to look at him, "Even so, the Bai family is not innocent."

"I know, but doing this has disrupted the previous plan, and... His Majesty will definitely be wary." Xie Lan sighed and looked at Xie Fei.

Xie Fei is the only descendant of the Xie family. What if His Majesty kills him in anger...

"Do you think I am afraid of death?" Xie Fei sneered, "I was not afraid more than ten years ago, and I am still not afraid at all. And there has never been a timid person in my Xie family. So if you are because of this , If you haven’t made a decision all these years, then you really underestimate me.”

"You are not afraid of death. But I am afraid that the Xie family will lose its incense." Xie Lan smiled bitterly, "No matter what the truth is, I am the trigger of this matter, so I have to protect you. Only in this way can I be worthy of my grandfather's treatment. My love."

"No need." Xie Fei flew away.

Xie Lan stood in the yard, looking at the empty yard, unable to recover for a long time.

Grandfather, this day has finally come. Did you see it? You don't have to worry, I have no expectations for that person. Since I have no expectations, there won't be any sadness.

Around midnight, Xie Lan returned to the palace. When Tao Yaoyao went back to rest, she saw him and was surprised, "They didn't say you don't like it here. You don't come here a few times throughout the year. You are obviously fine today, so why are you back again?"

Xie Lan glanced at her, and when he was about to leave, he stopped and looked at him, "Just now, I met Xie Fei."

Tao Yaoyao looked at him puzzled.

"He asked me to tell you that you are the benefactor of the Xie family, and he is willing to pledge himself to you."

After Xie Lan finished speaking, he walked forward.

Tao Yaoyao waited for a while to recover, and then trotted to catch up, "What happened today was obviously your fault. He thanked me for what I did. And I'm going to die, so why harm others."

Thinking of something, Tao Yaoyao stretched out her hand to stop him, and then said with a smile, "Your surname is also Xie, if you insist on repaying me, why don't you come and pledge yourself to me.

As long as you like me, maybe I will still have a chance to survive..."

Tomorrow was their death day, and she really didn't want to die.

So in order to survive, she is now risking her life. Even if he is a piece of stone, she still wants to try to tease him, just in case he does it.

If it doesn't work, she will give up.

After thinking of this, Tao Yaoyao took two more steps forward. When there was only half a step left between the two, she turned her head and looked around. After making sure that there was no one else, she stepped forward a little more. Seeing her face was filled with tears. When he was about to get close to him, he stopped.

"My lord, you are actually quite good-looking, and you are also my type. If you are willing..."

Xie Lan looked at him calmly. Tao Yaoyao was so calm that she couldn't say anything else. She had a feeling that she was not teasing a handsome guy at this time, but an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life.

How should I put it, it feels like a rebellious thing.

But she didn't want to give up just like that, so she simply closed her eyes and kissed him.

This was their third kiss. Different from the first and second times, Tao Yaoyao was fully prepared this time, but she had been nervous for a long time and her heart was beating too fast. She felt like she might faint at any time. .

But in order to survive, she suppressed her nervousness and uneasiness and deepened the kiss.

The person opposite had been silent, and Tao Yaoyao gradually began to retreat. If he didn't want to... was she trying to force someone into a difficult situation?

Let me ask, how would she feel if someone she didn't like treated her like this...

Do unto others, do not impose on others.

So, Tao Yaoyao stopped in despair, and when she was about to withdraw from his side, the person who had been silent just now suddenly stretched out her hand to hold his head, and then deepened the kiss.

At first, his kiss was just like him, cold, and people didn't know how to get close. Gradually, he became eager, like a child who tasted candy and knew how sweet it was, and then became addicted.

The kiss lasted for a long time, and it was only when Tao Yaoyao started to feel dizzy that he let her go.

"breathe."

"Ah..." Tao Yaoyao blushed and took two steps back, "I'm sleepy. Let's go back and rest first."

Tao Yaoyao looked very hopeless and turned around in fear. At this moment, she completely forgot that she was the one who teased her from the beginning, and she was the one who ran away after the incident.

Really useless.

But, Xie Lan, what does this mean? If the last kiss was revenge, what does it mean this time? Does he also have some affection for her?

If this is the case, will they be able to survive tomorrow... No, Lover Gu requires both a man and a woman to love each other in order to survive.

Even if Xie Lan likes her, does she like him?

Like it? Still don't like it?

Tao Yaoyao has never been in love and doesn't know what it feels like to like someone, but in this era, if he has to marry someone, she is willing to marry Xie Lan.

If this is like it, then she should like it.

At dawn, the servant came over and called him, "The queen is awake. But the situation is not good."

When Tao Yaoyao followed the palace officials, Xie Lan and Jiu Qingzi arrived. At this time, Grandma Zhou was taking the Queen's pulse, "You all get out, I am going to remove the poison from the Queen."

The imperial doctor wanted to stay, but Grandma Zhou disagreed. In the end, Grandma Zhou left Tao Yaoyao behind.

"I'd better get out." Tao Yaoyao didn't want to get involved in this matter, and also wanted Aunt Zhou to be the only person who could detoxify the poison, so that they would still have a way to survive, otherwise, they would definitely die.

So after Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he left the dormitory without waiting for Aunt Zhou to speak.

Yuan Zheng glanced at her, and then sighed.

"The hospital thinks I did something wrong?" Tao Yaoyao didn't care what others thought, as long as she had a clear conscience.

However, Yuan Zheng had been kind to her these past two days, so she wanted to explain something.

"There is no right or wrong in things in this world, only whether you should or should not, and whether you want to or not. From your point of view, you did nothing wrong." Yuan Zheng paused, and then said, "It's just that in the palace... walls have ears, and this matter only I'm afraid it will spread to His Majesty soon, how do you plan to escape then?"

"Yuan Zheng forgot, I still have the Chu family." Tao Yaoyao smiled so heartlessly that Yuan Zheng was embarrassed to tell her about the Chu family's plight.

An hour later, Nanny Zhou walked out of the room and told everyone that the poison on the Queen's body was cured.

After Grandma Zhou left, Tao Yaoyao went in to find Xie Lan. Seeing him sitting by the bed, with no trace of joy on his face, he walked over and asked, "The Queen is fine, aren't you happy?"

"If she can live well, I will naturally be happy, but not everyone thinks that living is happy. Sometimes, death may be a kind of relief."
