After Li Yan was arrested, Li Zheng's decoction never had any problems again.

Three days later, the poison in Li Zheng's body was relieved and his consciousness began to recover. Seven days later, Li Zheng drank the last decoction and completely returned to normal.

King Xin got the news early in the morning and waited aside. When Li Zheng woke up, he stepped forward eagerly and looked anxiously into his eyes. Worry, fear, and uneasiness were all written on his face.

At this moment, he was just an ordinary father, hoping that his son would be safe, so he was worried about gains and losses.

Tao Yaoyao looked calm, and Xie Lan was not worried at all when he saw this.

Li Zheng saw this and looked at King Xin with a smile, "Father, Zheng'er is fine."

"Is it really better?" King Xin rubbed his hands together excitedly. At this time, he was either a high-ranking prince or the most ordinary father in the world. He was happy because of his son's recovery, but he was also afraid because he was too happy. Fake.

Li Zheng saw all this, so he felt guilty, so he got up and knelt in front of King Xin, and kowtowed three times.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly."

King Xin held back his tears and quickly stretched out his hand to help Li Zheng up. "It'll be good if you get better. Just don't blame your father for not protecting you during this time."

Li Zheng smiled and shook his head, "I know, my father did this to protect me."

Although he is stupid, as long as he lives, the people behind the scenes will be afraid of him. The only way is to kill him to avoid future troubles. However, Prince Xin's palace is heavily guarded and it is not easy to kill someone in the palace.

So the people behind the scenes instigated Li Yan and his son to harm Li Zheng.

Although they were ambitious, they still cared about some brotherhood, so they did it very covertly and did not want his life. At most, he would just find someone to humiliate him.

At first, King Xin thought about protecting him, but when he found someone else watching behind the scenes, he changed his mind.

Compared with Li Zheng's life, these are not so important. Of course, he didn't let Li Yan and his son make trouble too much, it was harmless at most.

But Princess Xin misunderstood.

So I have had many quarrels with him over the years because of this matter.

Li Zheng is his proudest son. He knows that he understands him, and that is indeed the case now.

"Does the prince know who wants the prince's life?" Tao Yaoyao had actually wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she had always been worried before, but now Li Zheng was fine. Seeing that the atmosphere was good, she asked.

Who knew that after she asked this question, the atmosphere in the room was obviously not right.

"What's wrong?"

Xie Lan didn't say anything and took her back to the guest room.

Tao Yaoyao was not stupid, but Xie Lan's obvious behavior suddenly made her think of something, and then her eyes became a little solemn.

"The person who made Li Zheng stupid was my grandfather, right?" Tao Yaoyao looked at Xie Lan cautiously. Her eyes were very complicated, as if she wanted to confirm the answer, but also seemed to be afraid of the answer.

Seeing this, Xie Lan stretched out his hand to pull the person into his arms and said softly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you are Li Zheng's savior."

Xie Lan did not answer this question directly. Judging from his current tone, he was still comforting her. Does that mean that her guess was right?

Tao Yaoyao's eyes suddenly turned red when she thought of this possibility. She slowly stretched out her hands, carefully hugged his waist, put her head on his shoulder, and suppressed her grievance and whispered, "Is my grandfather really a bad person? ?”

But why wasn't this what he heard before?

Didn’t they all say that his grandfather was a hero?

How did things become like this?

"Why?" Tears flowed down uncontrollably, but she still wanted to know the truth.

Xie Lan felt distressed and helped her wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, and sighed as she talked about what happened that year, "Actually, I don't know much about it. King Xin came to the capital and knew about your superb medical skills, so he asked you to treat the prince. thought.

It was also at that time that I found someone to investigate the matter.

What I found out is that when your grandfather led the army three years ago, he deliberately lost the battle. Li Zheng also participated in the battle. He realized something was wrong, so he went to find your grandfather.

Your grandfather was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he began to think of killing people and silencing them. "

In other words, my grandfather had the intention to rebel, not just a day or two, but for many years.

Many people knew about this matter, but he didn't know. If it hadn't been a big deal this time, would she have been kept in the dark forever?

Moreover, in this case, can she still do what she wants to do?

Will what her grandfather has been planning for many years change because of her words?

"Xie Lan, it seems that I am destined to lose this time." In fact, she doesn't care about winning or losing. To be precise, she thought about the consequences when she first decided to come here.

But she couldn't let go of Xie Lan. His journey had not been easy, and now he could finally live a good life for a few days. If possible, she hoped that he would always be happy.

Rather than follow her and take a path of no return.

She was also tempted by the future he mentioned before, and she even fantasized about her future life last night. Get married to someone, fall in love with each other, and grow old together.

From then on, no matter the disputes or the disturbances. How nice.

What a pity...what a pity.

All of this is really nothing from now on.

Xie Lan's hand holding Tao Yaoyao tightened slightly. After noticing her thoughts, he carefully kissed her eyes and nose, soothing her uneasiness little by little.

"Don't be afraid, there is still me. I will always be with you."

This time, Tao Yaoyao didn't speak. After dinner, she went back to her room early, and at midnight, she took her bundle and left Prince Xin's Mansion.

Xie Lan followed her out the moment she went out. King Xin got the news and went to send him off, "Now, I have let go of this grudge, but I'm afraid it will not be easy for her to let go."

"She is a very kind-hearted woman with a very serious mind. But I will protect her." Xie Lan said goodbye to King Xin and left on horseback.

King Xin stood on the city wall, looking at the pair of fateful mandarin ducks, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"I really didn't expect that King Dingbei, who used to not care about anything, also has a side of love and death. Miss Tao is so lucky."

Li Zheng came to the city wall and stood next to King Xin and said this.

King Xin heard the voice and turned to look at him, "Why, don't you hate her? The Chu family has worked hard to do all this just to avenge her mother."

Li Zheng smiled and shook his head, "Talk about it carefully, she is also a pitiful person. She is obviously a chess piece involuntarily, but her relatives use her to do evil things in the name of her good.

Moreover, I was also cured by her, so let’s just write it off. "

Li Zheng turned to look at the dark night, paused, and then said, "But father, will they get what they want during this trip?"

"You have already said that the Chu family only regarded him as a chess piece. Since he is a chess piece, how could he influence the current situation?" King Xin shook his head and left the tower.

Li Zheng stood on the tower and did not move for a long time.

Three years later, he finally stood here again. It’s just that many things have changed.

At dawn, Xie Lan and Xiao Shuo met. Xiao Shuo watched in surprise as he dismounted alone, "Where's Miss Tao? Didn't you leave together?"

And they haven't been separated in recent times, so why did they separate today?

Anyone who is not a fool can see how much King Dingbei thinks and cares about her. With his temperament, he should not let the people he cares about leave his sight.

unless……

"Did you have a fight?"

Xie Lan did not answer the question, "Did you swing your tail cleanly from behind?"

"Don't worry, after so many days, if you can't get rid of it, I will be useless. But you, why have you been gone for so long?"

Xiao Shuo didn't know about their detoxification for Li Zheng, so he briefly talked about it. Xiao Shuo quickly guessed why he was alone.

"Is it safe for her to go on the road alone?"

Xie Lan looked at the inn not far away and said in a deep voice, "I sent someone to protect her."

"That's good." Xiao Shuo didn't know how to persuade him, he just hoped that Tao Yaoyao could think clearly as soon as possible.

"Are you still on your way today?" Xiao Shuo saw that the weather was not very good today and was worried that it would rain. So I asked Xie Lan what he meant, and when I looked up and saw his eyes, I immediately knew that this question was in vain.

His current thoughts are on the woman in the inn, and I'm afraid he himself doesn't know about this problem.

Sure enough, the next second I heard him say, "Wait a little longer."

What are you waiting for? Naturally, he was waiting to see if the people in the inn would be on their way.

An hour later, Tao Yaoyao did not appear at the door of the inn, so the group stayed at the inn.

Xie Lan stood at the door of the innermost room on the second floor, reaching out several times to knock on the door, but finally put his hand down. In the room opposite, Xiao Shuo was sitting at the table, drinking tea and staring at him.

After a while, he finally couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and came to the door. He opened his mouth to say something, but Xie Lan immediately gave him a warning look.

Xiao Shuo could only shut up. But he did not turn around and go back to the house. Instead, he leaned against the doorframe opposite and looked at him with a half-smile. His eyes seemed to say that he wanted to see when he could knock on this door.

In the end, Xie Lan didn't knock on the door.

"You're already at the door. Is there anything you can't say clearly in person?" Xiao Shuo didn't understand. Things between men and women are not between people, so why are they so difficult to resolve?

"You don't understand. She is in a bad mood now. If she sees me, she might be in a bad mood again. I don't want her to think about those unhappy things."

Xie Lan played with the wine glass, but he didn't drink a sip of wine from beginning to end.

Xiao Shuo wondered, "Don't like it? Just give it a try. This is the only kind of wine here. It's not as white as pear blossom, but it also has another kind of taste. You have to taste it carefully."

"No need, she didn't like it. So I quit."

What?

Xiao Shuo looked at him as if he were a monster. He just said something because Tao Yaoyao didn't like it, so he stopped drinking.

What if Tao Yaoyao doesn't like him as a person? Does he also want to...

"No, she said she likes me personally. I can change all the bad things about me, as long as she likes it."

Fine.

People in love are really hard to understand.
