King Xin got angry, and Li Yan could only suppress his anger and sit back in his seat.

But he couldn't swallow what happened just now.

"Father, don't you hate people who use dirty tricks the most in your life? Now that she is attacking me in our house, don't you have nothing to say?"

Tao Yaoyao was sitting at the table, drinking tea calmly, as if she was not the villain in Li Yan's mouth.

Seeing that she had finished drinking the tea in her hand, Xie Lan picked up the teapot and poured her a cup. King Dingbei, who was usually cold to everyone, now looked at Tao Yaoyao with a gentle expression, which made King Xin's eyes widen. .

He knew that their current relationship was unusual, but he didn't know that King Dingbei was so affectionate.

Thinking about what happened to the Chu family, King Xin couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know what kind of thing you are? If you hadn't provoked them first, they wouldn't have looked at you seriously. Okay, don't be embarrassed here. If you don't want to entertain guests here, go back to yourself. to the yard.”

King Xin showed no mercy to Li Yan.

Li Yan came here with a purpose. Although he was angry, he was unwilling to leave just like that. He just glared at Tao Yaoyao fiercely when he sat down.

The meal was very sumptuous. Because they wanted to hide their identities, they called it a banquet. In fact, they just sat down and had a meal together. With Li Yan there, they didn't talk much.

After the banquet was over, King Xin took Xie Lan to the study. Tao Yaoyao went to Li Zheng's house.

"Miss Tao, what do you like?" Li Zheng asked someone to prepare a lot of things that his daughter liked. When Tao Yaoyao came in, he asked his servants to take out the things for her to choose.

"I had people prepare these things. You can take them all if you like, but the mother-in-law said that Miss Tao is a person with a deep chest, and she will definitely not want to take advantage of everything.

But you helped me treat my illness, and I want to thank you. So Miss Tao, even if you don’t like them all, you should take a few as my thank you gifts. "

After Li Zheng finished speaking, she looked at Tao Yaoyao cautiously, as if she was afraid that she would not want to take it.

Tao Yaoyao has not seen such a simple person for a long time. Everything is written on his face, which makes people feel distressed and cannot bear to reject him. So Tao Yaoyao walked forward with a smile and found that everything the servant brought was exquisite.

And he was fully prepared, from clothes and shoes to hair and face.

These things are all the most popular colors and styles this year, but she didn't do much research on these, so she chose two sets of styles that she usually wears.

"I knew Miss Tao would like this kind of simple and elegant style." Li Zheng was very happy when he saw that Tao Yaoyao chose the style he liked first, "Actually, Miss Tao, you can try a more colorful style. You are white. She also has temperament and would definitely look better in brighter clothes.”

"Thank you. But I don't like bright colors, they always feel too ostentatious. And my current situation is not suitable for ostentation."

Li Zheng just suggested it, and after seeing her express her thoughts, she didn't continue to force her.

After Tao Yaoyao gave him acupuncture, Xie Lan came to pick her up. The two left Li Zheng's yard and headed to the guest room. You are getting more and more arrogant. I know everything about today. If you feel uncomfortable..."

"You have also seen Li Yan's appearance. If I say that I can't relieve my anger, you will probably feel sorry for him." Tao Yaoyao is not a person who likes to hold his breath. Usually, revenge must be taken.

And she doesn't hold grudges, the past is in the past.

In her eyes, Li Yan is just a clown who thinks out of his mind. He thinks that no one knows his thoughts, but little does he know, everyone knows. And King Xin is not a stupid person.

I'm afraid that even if Xie Lan doesn't take action in what happened today, King Xin won't spare him.

As Tao Yaoyao expected, the first thing King Xin did when he returned to the study was to call Li Yan over. Li Yan had guessed his father's intention on the way here, so he was mentally prepared before entering.

But after entering the door, he was still aggrieved by the inkstone thrown by King Xin.

"Even if my son is at fault for what happened today, isn't Miss Tao right? After all, she is a guest of the palace, and I am the master of the palace..."

"You still have the nerve to say that you are the master of the palace. You have the nerve to say that, and I don't even have the nerve to respond to your words. I have taught you this for so many years, is this all I have taught you?

Look at what you did. In the past, I could turn a blind eye or close an eye no matter what you did, but if you continue to act nonsense this time, I will definitely not be able to spare you. "

When Li Yan saw his father protecting Tao Yaoyao like this, he wondered, "What is the origin of this person?" There were not many people who could make his father talk down to him in these years.

But today, the father looked at them with obvious fawning. Now he speaks for that dead girl everywhere, which makes Li Yan more and more suspicious of the identity of these two people.

But he hasn't heard of any big shots leaving Beijing recently.

Not from Kyoto City, could it be...

Ever since the eldest brother became stupid, his father had posted a notice offering a huge reward for famous doctors from all over the world to write to the palace to treat the eldest brother. At the beginning, the family was very lively.

But those people came to stare at the big names, but in the end they left in embarrassment. After a while, the palace finally became deserted.

In the past year or so, almost no one has come to claim that he is a famous doctor. It has been so long that he doesn't even remember it. I really didn't expect that someone who claimed to be a famous doctor came to the house today.

However, the woman surnamed Tao did have some skills. He went to several doctors to find the medicine she gave him, but it was of no use. In the end, it was only when the medicine wore off that he felt less uncomfortable. Otherwise, he would not be able to stop tonight.

But, if the doctor is really capable this time and cures that fool, how can he still be the heir apparent?

When the eldest brother was a fool, his father would not give him the position of crown prince. If the eldest brother got better, he would never even think about getting close to that position.

No, if he hadn't coveted this position from the beginning, he might still be able to accept this result.

But now he had already thought about what would happen after becoming the crown prince, and now someone suddenly told him that all his previous imaginations were in vain.

He couldn't accept it, and he didn't want to accept it at this time.

So after leaving the study, he hurried to his aunt's yard.

"Reporting to the prince, the second young master went to the Lotus Garden."

King Xin stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky, and nodded solemnly, "I know, keep an eye on them. Once you find out... you don't have to be merciful."

He was wrong.

I always thought that they were brothers in the same family, and even if they were a little selfish, their lives would not be harmed.

Moreover, this son also grew up under his nose, and he thought he knew him well. Who knows...people's minds are fickle.

After all, power is too tempting.

But since ancient times, some people who are greedy for power have met a good end.

I hope I can save him this time.

On the other side, Xie Lan and Tao Yaoyao also received news that Li Yan went to his aunt's yard. This kind of thing seemed normal to the two of them, so after learning about it, the two continued to play chess and chat.

"It doesn't matter if we stay here for a few days. After what happened yesterday, many people should know about our departure from Kyoto City. Since then, more and more people want to kill us.

They couldn't guess that when we came here and couldn't find us, they would go all the way to the border along the official road. And we just can miss them.

Even if I encounter the killer again in the future, it won’t be as much as it is now. "

In this way, the people they brought can cope with it.

Xie Lan nodded in agreement, "I haven't had much rest in the past two days. Let's go to bed early tonight."

After the game was over, Xie Lan put away the chessboard, got up and went to the next room. Tao Yaoyao stood at the door and hesitated to speak. In the end, he said nothing.

When King Xin proposed to detoxify Li Zheng just now, Xie Lan disagreed. He didn't say the reason, and Tao Yaoyao didn't ask, but after so long, she more or less guessed the reason.

He looked very worried when he left just now. Seeing this, she actually wanted to comfort her.

But when the words came to her lips, she felt like forgetting it.

If you don't say some words, you may be able to continue to act stupid and live your life peacefully, but once you speak, some things will change.

Now she couldn't make any promises to him. In this case, it’s better to take it one step at a time.

When Tao Yaoyao turned around and went to the back room to rest, Xie Lan stood outside the door for a while before leaving.

Not long after he returned to the house, King Xin came over in person.

"Don't worry, King Dingbei. The Chu family is the Chu family and Miss Tao is Miss Tao. I will not implicate innocent people. Moreover, Miss Tao doesn't know anything. When I ask, I will not hesitate to help me." The prince, with this happiness and freedom, I have nothing but admiration for her."

Xie Lan stared at him for a long time, not sure whether he was confirming the authenticity of his words or thinking about other things. After a while, he opened his lips lightly and said, "I hope King Xin will keep his word."

Xie Lan came to the window, looked at the scenery outside, and said to himself, "I don't care about anything or anyone now. She is my only persistence and yearning, so anyone who wants to harm her will Her people are all enemies of this king.

I have known King Xin for so many years, and I really don’t want to fall out over this matter. So please, King Xin, keep your promise. Otherwise, if that day really comes, I won’t mind competing for that position. "

When Xie Lan talked about the throne, there was disdain and casualness in his eyes. Such big things never seem to be important in his eyes.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

With his intelligence and talent, if he really wanted that position, he would have already gotten it.

But he never disdained and was not willing to fight for this position.

Otherwise, there would be nothing going on with the second prince and the third prince.

But it is easy for people to be afraid of such people, such as the second prince and the one in the palace. King Xin couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the letter from Fei Ge he had just received.

"I have watched you grow up, and now I am very happy to see that you can live a normal life. However, I still want to advise you that there is nothing absolute in this world. If you are too persistent... If something happens, you will definitely get hurt.”

Although King Xin said something cryptic, who Xie Lan was, he understood what he meant almost immediately.

So he said without hesitation and firmly, "She can't do it, and neither can I."
