"This is not something you and I have known for a long time, so why bother talking about it again."

Tao Yaoyao said while packing things.

Qiu Gui saw that she had even found the clothes in the spring, and asked, "Miss, are you going to take them out to dry? But the weather is not good today, and it has been a while since spring. Isn't it too early to sort these out now?" .”

Qiu Gui comes to help.

"It's not just to show it out in the sun." Tao Yaoyao explained, "I might have to go on a long trip."

Qiu Gui didn't know where she was going, but that didn't stop her from wanting to go with her.

"I can't take you." This trip was full of dangers, and she was already frightened by herself. With another person, she really couldn't guarantee his safety.

Qiu Gui felt a little disappointed when he heard this.

"Okay, if you don't want to stay at the Tao family, I can send you to the Chu family. But you really can't follow me."

Dali Temple Dalao

When Xie Lan stood in front of Chu Wulang, Chu Wulang thought he was here to see him. When he was about to greet him, Xie Lan spoke.

"She knows everything about the Chu family."

At first, Chu Wulang didn't understand what he meant. After he came to his senses, he stood up in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"You heard that right. He knows about your Chu family's plan. In order to help you, he now plans to go to the border to find your father. She said that this is the only way to save you."

Since the entire Xie family was killed, Xie Lan has become cold-hearted and indifferent to worldly affairs. This is the first time in more than ten years that his mood has fluctuated because of a person.

It was also because of her that he stood here.

"How did she know?"

Tao Yaoyao has indeed become smarter recently, but she trusts him wholeheartedly and there is absolutely no way she would doubt him and the Chu family. By the way, something started to go wrong with her yesterday. She had entered the palace at that time, could it be that... "It was the emperor, the emperor told her?"

Seeing that Xie Lan didn't speak, Chu Wulang became more and more anxious, "Tell me, what else did the emperor say?"

"I have said everything that should be said and what should not be said." This matter is not a secret. Even if he doesn't tell it today, Chu Wulang will know it someday. Rather than letting him spend all his time investigating, it would be better for him to take the initiative.

"The emperor's original intention was to separate us. Of course, the emperor also wanted her to be a peacemaker and dispel the Chu family's concerns. Regardless of which one, she now knows the truth, and she has made her decision, and no one can persuade her. "

Xie Lan came here this time just to tell Chu Wulang about this. After saying what needed to be said, he turned to leave.

"My lord, don't leave. Please help me tell Yaoyao not to go to the border." Chu Wulang had never begged someone so humbly, but now, he had no other choice at all.

Xie Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You know her temperament best. Do you think she will listen to what I say?"

Chu Wulang thought of something and froze on the spot. Not even knowing that King Dingbei had left, and not knowing how much time had passed, Chu Wulang called the jailer anxiously, "Where is Mr. Xiao, go and call Mr. Xiao."

Because Chu Wulang had a special status and was a good friend of the Dali Temple Shaoqing, the jailer took good care of him.

Xiao Shuo came to the prison as soon as he got the news, but Chu Wulang still felt that he was too slow. After seeing him, he scolded him for a while and then said, "Go to Tao's house and call Yaoyao over. I have something to talk to her about." explain."

"The reason why you are so anxious to find me is because of this matter." Xiao Shuo was speechless, "Do you know how many things Dali Temple has to do in a day? You are my good friend, and I indulge you, but you also Don’t be too silly, you know?”

"Xiao Shuo, I'm not fooling around. I really have something very important to see her for. I'm begging you. Let me see her."

They had known each other for many years, and this was the first time Chu Wulang spoke to him with such an attitude. Xiao Shuo was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, "What happened? You are so anxious. Forget it, I will go and give him a message first." You need to find someone, but stay still and stop messing around."

Xiao Shuo went to Tao's house to find someone in person. Tao Yanyan looked disgusted when he saw Xiao Shuo. There was no attentiveness at all when the second prince came to visit.

Xiao Shuo knew nothing about this. Maybe if he knew what she was thinking, he might also say that it was just a good idea if she didn't come over, but he couldn't deal with women.

When the servant brought Xiao Shuo over, Tao Yaoyao had just packed her clothes and was about to pack some toiletries. When she learned that Xiao Shuo was coming, she knew what was going on almost immediately.

"Master Xiao, has anyone been to the prison this morning?"

Xiao Shuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, your brother is my good friend. I will take good care of him. I will not let him get close to anyone except my own people."

"I know, but I still want to know."

Seeing that she insisted on asking, Xiao Shuo told Xie Lan.

It turned out to be him. Tao Yaoyao concealed her displeasure and followed him into the carriage. On the way to Dali Temple, Tao Yaoyao asked about the customs clearance documents.

This was particularly troublesome in ancient times. Without an ID card, you had to rely on documents issued by the government to go out.

But she also wanted to act in secret, but she was the daughter of an official. When she went to open the document, she was afraid that everyone would know about it. So she wanted to ask Xiao Shuo if there was any way to open a document secretly.

Xiao Shuo heard this and said with a smile, "I can help you with this matter, but where are you going to go out? Why haven't you heard your brother mention it before? It's not safe for you, a woman, to go out. If you want to go to the border, I can wait for your brother to come out and take you there."

Chu Wulang returned to Beijing this time, originally to attend the Queen Mother's birthday on behalf of the Chu family, but now before the banquet started, Chu Wulang was imprisoned. Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out for a while.

However, Xiao Shuo did not tell Tao Yaoyao these words.

He heard about what happened to the Wang family and guessed that she might be angry with the Tao family because of this incident and wanted to run away from home. So he tried to persuade her a few words, but he had no choice whether she would listen or not.

After the carriage arrived at Dali Temple, they entered the prison one after another.

"My sister brought it to you. I still have something to do, so I'll go and get busy first." After Xiao Shuo left, the prison suddenly became quiet. Chu Wulang, who used to smile when he saw her, now looked at her with a hint of something in his eyes. Very cautious, as if afraid of something.

Tao Yaoyao was not used to his behavior, so she subconsciously said, "Fifth brother, I heard that you are looking for me, but there is something wrong."

"King Dingbei came here this morning. He told me some things about yesterday." Chu Wulang stood in front of her, staring into her eyes, trying to see her thoughts clearly.

"Yes, I want to go to the border to find my grandfather." Tao Yaoyao admitted directly after understanding what he meant.

"You can't go." Chu Wulang refused very sternly, "There is a war in the border gate now, and the people in the border gate have moved to other places. If you go there, you will die.

If you feel angry because we hid you, you can tell me, you can hit me or scold me, but don’t go to the border.

You are my aunt's only daughter, and you are the one whom your father values more than your life. If you have any shortcomings along the way, how do you want me to explain it to my father?

Be obedient, Yaoyao, whatever you want, Fifth Brother can promise you, but in this matter, can you please stop being willful? "

Tao Yaoyao stared at him for a while and then asked with a smile, "Is it really because of my grandfather that you don't want me to go to the border?"

"Of course. I promise, this is the only thing the Chu family has hidden from you. Yaoyao, we have our own reasons for doing this. I will tell you everything when I leave here.

Don't believe what the emperor said. What he said is naturally beneficial to him.

You are a child of my Chu family. You know very well how the Chu family has treated you over the years, so don’t be impulsive, okay? "

Chu Wulang was anxious and looked at her carefully, fearing that he would be offended by accident.

However, he didn't know that Tao Yaoyao had already made a decision. No matter what he said today or who said it, she would not change her mind.

What's more, this is the emperor's wish. If she doesn't go, the first person to die will be the person in front of her.

Fifth brother was very kind to her, but she didn't want to and couldn't help but watch her die here.

So, "I'm sorry, Fifth Brother, I will agree to everything you say from now on, but I can't agree to you except this matter."

After saying that, she turned around and left. Seeing this, Chu Wulang called her anxiously, and finally she simply ran out of the prison.

After losing sight of her, Chu Wulang kicked the cell door angrily, and then sat on the ground angrily.

After Tao Yaoyao came out, she got on the carriage directly. When she was halfway there, she let the carriage go to Dingbei Prince's Mansion.

While he was sleeping while adjusting the carriage, he was taken to the teahouse by the second prince's people before he arrived at Dingbei Palace.

"Second Prince?" Tao Yaoyao frowned subconsciously when she saw the person in front of her, "Why did the Second Prince bring me here?"

"Last night, my prince's people went to Tao's house to invite a girl. Who knew that there were many people who were thinking about the girl, but my skills were not as good as others, and in the end I failed to complete the task. In desperation, I had no choice but to come to see you in person. It’s a girl.”

Tao Yaoyao almost forgot about that incident, but now after his reminder, she finally remembered it.

The second prince should be here now because of the arrested men in black.

She sent half of it to the government, and specially found someone to tell him what he did last night in public. I think this incident had a great impact on him. At this time, he should be itching to hate it.

He was still able to stand here and chat with her calmly. It must be said that the second prince had lost his temper a lot recently.

But she didn't think the second prince was calm.

After what happened yesterday, she only felt that power was an executioner, it could make a person look hateful in an instant.

It can also turn a person or a family from a loyal minister to a traitor.

But she didn't want to blame the Chu family, and she didn't know who to blame, so she vented all her anger on the second prince, which was why he made these noises.

She naturally thought about the consequences before doing this, but compared to the current situation of the Chu family, she didn't care about these consequences at all.

After all, the second prince is not an innocent person.

If he doesn't plot against her first, she won't plot against him either. Speaking of which, they were just reciprocating courtesy.

"What if I don't go?" Tao Yaoyao stood there and asked tentatively.

After the second prince became powerful, it has been a long time since anyone dared to reject him so bluntly. Tao Yaoyao was the first one. It must be said that she was not ordinary courageous.

He was really taught by the Chu family, and he was just as lawless, but this was Kyoto City, not a border border. If he wanted to show off his power, he wouldn't do this.

"Don't you want to talk about what your grandfather did?" The second prince threatened her with the Chu family's affairs.

Tao Yaoyao immediately changed her face. It seemed that after she knew what the Chu family had done, everyone could use this matter to threaten her.

And what she hated most in her life was being threatened.

So she turned around and got into the carriage in front of the second prince. Before entering, she warned the second prince, "If you dare to let your people threaten my coachman again, I will go to the palace and file a complaint against you now.

Since you know everything about me, you should also know that His Majesty's poison is still waiting for me to cure it. I don't care what she does to me in the future, but looking at it now, my position in his heart is definitely more important than yours.

If you don't believe it, just go to the palace with me. "
