102.The Destined Princess (Second Watch)

As soon as these words came out, Tao Zhimo was almost frightened, and she was killed! This old immortal! She used to respect her as Ah Ci's grandmother, and she had always respected and admired her, who would have thought that she would be such an arrogant and unreasonable old woman, she hadn't done anything at all?

"Please forgive the Empress Dowager! Zhimo is willing to accept the punishment, but ...... Please let go of the maidservant of the people's maid and spare her life!" Tao Zhimo is not a person who does not know the times, only kowtowed heavily.

She knew that the blame for this matter was not her, and so many people in the hall watched it clearly. Although the cat is chasing her handkerchief, she is also innocent. However, the Empress Dowager convicted her with a single sentence, making her unable to justify. Even if she defends herself, she will only add a charge of contradicting the Queen Mother.

She knew that she would not die for her sin, but butterflies would! The last time Twilight accompanied her into the palace, she lay down for two months when she returned. Who would have thought that this time the butterfly would come in standing and actually go out lying down?

Tao Zhimo suddenly raised her eyes to look at Nangong Ci who was in the upper seat! She pinned all her hopes on him, and she knew that if he opened his mouth, he would definitely be able to save the butterfly's life. She looked at him eagerly, desperately trying to see his expression, but he still seemed indifferent and indifferent.

"Spare your life? Are you questioning the mourning family? Your maidservant disturbed the cats of the ninth princess and injured so many official daughters, do you think the punishment of the mourning family is heavy?"

"Weaving Mo didn't dare. Tao Zhimo's eyes were teary and she begged, "The Empress Dowager is magnanimous, Zhimo begs you to open up!"

"If the mourning family doesn't want to!" the queen and queen mother showed a stunned face.

Tao Zhimo kowtowed, since it was useless to pretend to be weak, then she could only give a soft nail, "If the Empress Dowager insists on this, Zhimo is willing to be guilty of the same crime as the maid!" She was gambling, betting that Nangong Ci would not watch her die like this.

"Presumptuous!" the Empress Dowager took the case, and the palace was silent for a while.

"Imperial grandmother," the emperor opened his mouth to plead, "today is Concubine Yan's birthday, it's better not to see red, it's better to make an exception and let the two of them go." ”

The Empress Dowager glanced at him coldly, "Imperial grandson, the mourning family has never been involved in politics for decades since your imperial grandfather. If it is something that happens upward, the mourning family will never interfere. But today's birthday of Concubine Yan is a family banquet, and the mourning family asks themselves that although they are old, they can still handle the affairs of this harem!"

"This ......" The emperor is quite embarrassed, it seems that today's imperial grandmother has to cure Tao Zhimo's sin, otherwise she will not refute his face in front of everyone. He sighed in his heart, glanced at Nangong Ci again, and saw that he was still unmoved. Alas, it seems that he is reluctant to make a move, so he can only ask for mercy again.

He is the emperor, even the empress dowager can't refute his face twice in a row. He had honored her once before, because she was an elder. It's just that I'm afraid that if this sentiment comes down, Tao Zhimo's death crime can be avoided, and the living crime will be inescapable.

He was about to open his mouth when he heard someone laughing in the hall.

In such a scene, everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to gasp, and suddenly there was such a laugh, which made it even more debauched in this silent hall.

When everyone saw this laughing man, they looked at each other again.

"It's just a trivial matter, why should the Empress Dowager be angry. "I saw the Empress Dowager laughing before, and it was a little similar to my Queen Loulan, but—" he said solemnly, "If you don't laugh, it's not like it." ”

After he said this, the Empress Dowager suddenly became a little embarrassed, "I heard that Queen Loulan is only forty years old this year, you compare her with me, an old woman, and you are not afraid that she will be angry with you." "Although Queen Loulan is not as beautiful as the first queen, her beauty is also well known.

"How come?" Feng Kanran still had a seductive smile on his face, "Isn't the Empress Dowager only forty years old this year?" ”

"What nonsense!" Although the Empress Dowager's face was a little stern, she could not hide the smile in her eyes, and she was praised by a young man who was born with such a fairy appearance, and she was very happy in her heart.

"The Empress Dowager is open-minded and generous, and she doesn't have to worry about the two little girls. Why don't you spare them for the sake of the palace?" Feng Kanran still smiled. This smile is really pleasant to watch.

"That's it," the Empress Dowager softened a lot, and looked a little kind, "Just look at Prince Loulan's face, spare this concubine, as for her maid ring, feel free to make twenty boards." Prince Loulan's smile reminded her of Nangong Ci's appearance when he was a teenager, and he also loved to laugh like this at that time.

"Don't. Tao Zhimo screamed a little and looked at Jiqiu again. She knew that maybe that would be the best thing to do. But...... Twenty boards, if instructed by someone, may also kill people, she can't risk letting the butterfly have an accident.

Feng Kanran turned around, saw her eager gaze, hooked his lips and smiled, and walked towards her.

At this moment, Tao Zhimo only felt that his whole person was shining, and the smile on his face was like the softest fluorescence in the dark night, illuminating her.

Once upon a time, Nangong Ci also loved to smile at him like this, smiling brightly, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were endless, and his eyebrows were demagogic when he smiled.

Prince Loulan leaned over, helped her up, took her hand and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother, in fact, there is still a reluctance in this palace. The sister of this palace fell in love with the man of the noble dynasty, and the main palace also fell in love with the daughter of the noble dynasty. This palace is devoted to her, if she is willing...... Woo!" Before he finished speaking, he frowned and shouted, Tao Zhimo's gall was about to jump out, and his index finger and thumb pinched the fine skin and tender flesh on Jiqiu's wrist.

Feng Kanran smiled and said with a serious face: "It seems that she doesn't want to." He said seriously, "I hope the Empress Dowager can give a thin face and let her and her maidservant go." The palace is willing to send a pearl of immortality in the South China Sea, and I wish the Empress Dowager an ageless appearance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall immediately became noisy like a hornet's nest!

- What! Prince Loulan actually fell in love with Tao Zhimo, the concubine of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion!

――Do you know? The Loulan royal family can only marry one wife! Didn't Tao Zhimo marry a princess?

Listening to Tao Zhimo's meaning, she still doesn't want to marry! Is she crazy or stupid?

I heard that it is a purple pearl that is rare in a thousand years! As long as you wear it on your body, you can keep your youth forever and your face will not be old!

I heard my aunt say that when you hold it in your mouth after death, you can keep your body intact!

-- Does the prince really want to sacrifice the pearl of immortality in the South China Sea? Just for a servant girl, you don't have to play twenty boards!

All of a sudden, the officials and nobles said a word like a nest, and even the civil and military officials in the court couldn't help but whisper eagerly.

"Silence!" the Empress Dowager rebuked, "What kind of system is this!"

Soon, silence reigned in the hall.

"That's it," the Empress Dowager said calmly, "the mourning family is also tired, so they will go back to the palace first." After speaking, a grandmother helped her up.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager!" the hall said in unison.

After the Empress Dowager left the palace, she sat on the phoenix chariot, her hands were still trembling, and when she returned to her bedroom, she withdrew from everyone, leaving her most intimate mother by her side, and asked in a trembling voice: "Did you hear the mourning family right now......?" Give the South China Sea Immortal Pearl to the mourning family?"

"Yes," Zhu Mama said, "I heard that there are countless treasures in Loulan Country, and this is indeed the case." Didn't you look at the blood dragon wood ruyi they gave to Concubine Yan's mother? It's really big! I heard that this blood dragon wood has a miraculous effect on relieving pain!"

"This—this is really good!" the Empress Dowager's eyes became wet, and her trembling hand stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes.

Early the next morning, a new ballad spread throughout the streets and alleys:

Tao weaving foam, white-eyed wolf!

Don't be a major general, just King Loulan!

"Stop, stop!" Tao Zhimo looked sad and covered his ears with his hands.

And here, Luo Yaosi was still spitting in a colorful voice, "Anyway, on the day of the birth of the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, colorful clouds appeared in the sky, and a Xiangshi passed by here, and concluded that the Miss of the Mansion must have the life of a princess!"

"Shut up!" Tao Zhimo saw that she couldn't stop talking, and hurriedly went into the house to hug Mo Weiwei to scare her, Luo Yaosi hurriedly turned her legs and ran.

Tao Zhimo's head was big, annoyed and irritable, annoyed that Nangong Ci didn't help her, he didn't say a word, even the emperor opened his mouth to help her intercede, okay?

Tao Zhimo swore that she would never enter the palace again, she would rather be carried into the palace than out of the palace.

Last night, Prince Loulan was so attentive, the whole hall was obvious to all, he just left a cadre and waited, and sent her back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion with great fanfare along the way!

Tao Zhimo recalled last night, and really had the urge to hit the wall!

Guangling County, Baoying County.

A group of hurrying merchants stopped in front of a tea stall to rest, led by a slightly thin bearded man with slender eyes that gleamed with a sly light. Sitting next to him was a tall man, about thirty years old, with a simple face, just a pair of faint single phoenix eyes that flowed, shining with a brilliance that did not belong to this face.

The man was drinking tea, but he hooked his lips and smiled, and the mustachioed man looked at him, and knew that he must have remembered that Miss Tao Liu, otherwise he wouldn't have laughed so stupidly.

"Second master," behind him, a servant in green clothes chased after him, and handed the man a letter, and after the man took the letter, beckoned him to sit down and drink tea.
