"Can you tell me why His Majesty suddenly mentioned this matter?" Mr. Xiao was really curious. You know, he had tried to persuade His Majesty a lot in those years, but every time the result was not satisfactory.

The person His Majesty dislikes the most is the prince in front of him, but he told him his biggest secret, which made him even more surprised and unbelievable.

Therefore, he, who had never liked to ask other people's rights and wrongs, became interested in gossiping for the first time in his life.

Xie Lan was hesitant. Seeing this, Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "That's it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I just have a whim."

"I just entered the palace. I hope my father can grant me a marriage." Xie Lan said in a deep voice.

Master Xiao remembered that he entered the palace with the girl from the Tao family. Wait... Master Xiao thought of something and looked at him in disbelief, "Do you like that girl from the Tao family?"

"Yes." Xie Lan nodded and admitted.

Mr. Xiao admired his frankness and at the same time felt sorry for his experience. How can I put it, both children are good children, but... they have a bad fate.

"Why is Mr. Xiao looking at me like this, but Mrs. Tao's death is related to my mother and my father?" This is the only grudge between the two families that Xie Lan can think of.

Mr. Xiao waved his hands quickly, "It's not as bloody as you think. They simply don't like Master Tao. To be precise, your father doesn't like Master Tao. Your mother doesn't like Mrs. Tao."

As for the Chu family, why did your father always feel that if it hadn't been for his admiration, Mrs. Tao would not have given birth prematurely, let alone die from dystocia. "

So that's it.

Xie Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I take my leave." Xie Lan stood up. The afterglow of the setting sun made his back longer and more bleak. Mr. Xiao also watched him grow up. In addition, he is not much older than Xiao Shuo.

He said sympathetically, "Actually, it's not a big deal. If you really like that girl, talk to your father and he will understand.

He seems to be unkind and even a little biased, but in fact it is all an illusion. Sometimes, caring means not caring, and not caring often means caring. "

Master Xiao said something incomprehensible, but Xie Lan had no intention of listening. After leaving the Xiao family, Xie Lan returned to the palace.

"Dad, what did the prince say to you? Why was his face so solemn when he left?" Xiao Shuo thought that his mood would feel better after his father answered his questions.

Unexpectedly, his expression became more solemn.

It seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.

"You will understand when you have a sweetheart." Mr. Xiao returned to the room with a smile. Xiao Shuo was left with a puzzled look on his face.

On the other side, Tao Yaoyao waited at the door of the cloth pile for about half an hour. The cloth pile was finally closed. The steward went to a house in a carriage. Tao Yaoyao couldn't get in, so he climbed in through the back door.

After passing through the winding courtyard, I finally saw the steward. Under the moonlight, the second prince was sitting in the pavilion, holding a tea cup in his hand, with a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face. I don’t know what the steward said, but in the eyes of the second prince The sarcasm became even deeper.

"Chu Wulang wants me to help his sister escape? Okay, it just so happens that this prince also wants to get married."

The steward smiled and said, "Then what does Your Highness need me to do?"

"Tonight, you find a few people to go to the Tao family to kidnap Tao Yaoyao and send him to this house. At that time... as long as the raw rice is cooked, even if the Chu family doesn't want to recognize me as their grandson-in-law, they will have to Accept it."

Behind the rockery, Tao Yaoyao watched this scene with blurred tears. If he had doubts about what His Majesty said before, now that she saw the second prince and the news here, she understood everything.

Aren’t the Chu family loyal ministers and good generals? Even Xie Lan said this before, but why is the truth now telling her that what she knew before is not true.

The hero she was so proud of turned out to be a traitor to her country.

Although she is not the original owner, she has long regarded herself as a person here during this time travel. She has never been to the future, and she knows the cruelty of war.

If the Chu family really wants to rebel, the people of Li will be the ones who suffer in the end.

It's not worth it, it really isn't worth it, to inflict so many innocent people just because of a grudge back then.

She believed that even if her mother had a soul in heaven, she would definitely not want to see this day.

But, who would she go to to say these words? After she said it, who would help him, and who would be willing to believe it?

She was unwilling to harm the Chu family, nor was she willing to let the Chu family die.

At this moment, Tao Yaoyao was in a dilemma. She just walked on the street in despair. After walking for an unknown period of time, it began to snow. Snowflakes fell in droves, wetting her clothes, hair, and cheeks...

But she seemed to not feel it. She lowered her head and walked forward stubbornly. She didn't know where she was going or when she would go.

She was very confused now and just wanted to find something to do, even if it was something boring.

"Master, this is Miss Tao."

The Xie family's carriage followed behind for a long time, so long that even Xie Fei, who likes to tease people, lost his patience and said, "Go and capture her for me, young master."

The servant went over and grabbed Tao Yaoyao, but Tao Yaoyao still had no expression on his face. Lifeless, like a puppet on strings.

Xie Fei felt bored and opened the curtain to look at her. "Why, you are so sad knowing that you are going to die soon? But didn't you already know that before, why are you still so sad?"

A familiar voice came, and Tao Yaoyao slowly raised her head. After she saw the person in front of her clearly, she wiped away her tears and turned around to leave. Xie Fei was unhappy when she saw this.

No matter how you say it, he is the dream lover of many women, but how come he has become the object of disgust when he comes to this girl's place.

He was so proud that he jumped out of the carriage and grabbed her, "Where are you going? Look at the ghost of you. If you continue walking, you might bump into a ghost later."

"Didn't Young Master say that I will become a dead person later? In that case, what difference does it make if you see me sooner or later."

Xie Fei was amused by her, "You are really stupid. How many people in this world are living in misery, but they are still alive. You, a little girl, want to die."

What do you think, is my cousin bullying you? "

Xie Fei pulled him to the carriage and gave him his heater, "My hands are as cold as a dead man. You are a girl, why don't you know how to treat yourself better?"

"Mr. Xie, didn't you hate me in the past? Why do you suddenly care about me today?"

Tao Yaoyao looked over with some discomfort, "If it's because of what happened before, I've explained it to you. That's all the prince's intention and has nothing to do with me..."

"Do you know when I met Xie Lan?" Xie Fei interrupted her. His eyes seemed to fall on her body, but they seemed to pass through it and land far away.

Tao Yaoyao didn't know what she was looking at, but the only thing she was sure of was that it wasn't him she was looking at.

Maybe he didn't say this to her.

"I have known him since I was born. From childhood to adulthood, I have listened to his business more than eating. Although I am not the eldest son of the Xie family, I am not bad in qualifications and good-looking. But it is because of him , I have always been ignored by people since I was a child.

As a child I would get angry, hide and sulk secretly, and then ask everyone to come find me. Isn’t it childish, but at that time, this was the best way for me to attract everyone’s attention.

But then something happened to the Xie family. Xie Lan said that he owed the Xie family, turned around and went to the battlefield, not caring about my life or death. At that time, I felt that this person was really hypocritical.

Even now, I think so. There is no more hypocritical person in the world than her. She always likes to do things but doesn't like to say them out.

But he doesn't know that everyone in the world is hypocritical, and they prefer the care they see. "

Tao Yaoyao felt that what he said was contradictory. He clearly said that he disliked him, but he also said that he was thinking about him and had done many things for him.

So, what he said just now was to tell him that he actually knew everything, but Xie Lan didn't like to express it, and neither did he, so he put this gratitude on her side?

"He hasn't had a good life these years." Tao Yaoyao said this after racking his brains.

Xie Fei laughed loudly after hearing this, "Everyone in Kyoto knows that he has been having a bad life these past few years. I don't need you to tell me. If I guess correctly, the reason why you are in so much pain today is not because of him, but because of You discovered what happened between the Chu family and the second prince."

"How do you know?" After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He covered his mouth and stood up to get out of the car. Xie Fei stopped him, "Why are you so anxious? You are my benefactor and I will not tell this matter.

Besides, I didn’t know it today. If I wanted to say it, I would have said it long ago. "

"Why?" Tao Yaoyao didn't understand.

Xie Fei sneered, "Of course it's because of the sworn hatred of the Xie family. You should know that the real enemy of the Xie family is His Majesty, but he is the emperor. Even if he really made a mistake, who can kill him?" ?

But if the second prince wants to rebel, it will be different. At that time, our Xie family's revenge will be avenged. "

"But since then, the people of Kyoto City have to suffer the war and endure the pain of leaving their loved ones. Mr. Xie, you are an official, you should not say such things."

Tao Yaoyao frowned and said with an unhappy expression.

Xie Fei laughed angrily at her words, "My father, my grandfather, my Xie family is full of officials, aren't they? My Xie family is a century-old family. We have worked for the benefit of the people for generations and have never done anything to feel sorry for them.

But what about in the end? The final result was that when my Xie family was beheaded, she looked on coldly, and when I lived like a rat crossing the street, they still looked on coldly.

Since they can't bear with my Xie family, why should I care about them?

Tao Yaoyao, the reason why you are speaking so lightly now is because the knife did not fall into your Tao family. In time, if you have experienced such pain, you will be in vain for my resentment at this moment. "
