37. Lower head (two more)
"I see!" Tao Zhimo screamed, hurriedly covered his mouth again, and whispered to Mo Yongnan, "Ah Ci has been lowered!" β
A black line appeared on Mo Wangnan's forehead, and he lifted her whole body up by the collar, and walked out with her long legs.
"No, I'm serious!" Tao Zhimo hurriedly grabbed her neckline with both hands, so as not to strangle her neck, and it was not until she left the county mansion that Mo Wangnan put her down.
"If you grow tall, you can bully people?" Tao Zhimo was not convinced, she stood on tiptoe, but she had only just reached Mo Wangnan's shoulder. It seems like...... She can call him daddy, right?
"Then you can grow taller." Mo Wangnan dropped such a sentence and walked towards the alley.
"Humph!" Tao Zhimo glared at his back angrily, and was about to leave, when the courtyard door was suddenly opened, and someone hurriedly chased him out, "Sixth sister!" β
Tao Zhimo looked back, it was Tao Lingfeng.
"Big brother!" Tao Zhimo was overjoyed, he was in a hurry just now, and he didn't say a few words to him.
The two of them came out and found a teahouse to sit down.
"Where have you been all these years?" Tao Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.
"I," Tao Zhimo scratched his head, "As you can see, I disguised myself as a man and lived incognito in Xuzhou." β
"Why did you leave back then?"
Tao Zhimo shook his head, unwilling to talk more, "This matter is a long story. β
Seeing that she didn't want to say, Tao Lingfeng didn't want to ask much, and said: "Since I found you, then you can go back with me, you are our Tao family, how can you be outcast." Don't worry, big brother will help you. I have a lot of brothers, all of whom are from Xuzhou, and I will help you when the time comes......"
"Big brother, I don't want to go back." Tao Zhimo interrupted him in a low voice.
"Why don't you go back! You're a girl......"
"By the way, what's wrong with the fourth brother?" Tao Zhimo hurriedly opened the topic.
Although Tao Lingyu is his son-in-law, he has always been unfavored, although Tao Lingyun is his brother-in-law, he rarely cares about him, but the eldest brother Tao Lingfeng is better with him.
Tao Zhimo has never hated this fourth brother, Tao Lingyu was good with her when she was young, but when she grew up, it is estimated that his mother did not like it, so he gradually broke off contact with her. Later, when she was down, he also secretly helped her a few times.
Later, when she entered the Yongwang Mansion, he came to sit with her for a while when he came to see his sister-in-law Tao Brocade, but left without saying a few words. Soon after, when she heard the bad news of his death, she cried a lot about it, and her love was low for a while.
She is in the prime minister's mansion, except for Tao Lingfeng, the most familiar brothers and sisters are Tao Lingyu, and the remaining third and fifth sisters, they are icing on the cake when she is beautiful, although she has no charcoal in the snow when she is in trouble, but she has not fallen into the well, there is no grievance at all.
"Yu'er is fine, but since you disappeared, he must not be happy in his heart, and he is still lingering. If you go back, maybe he will be happy and his illness will be better. Tao Lingfeng really talked about Tao Lingyu.
"But I don't want to go back. You also know your mother and her seventh sister...... They never liked me. β
"How come, all those years our whole family has been offering you like a bodhisattva......
"That's also after meeting Ah Ci, and before that, you didn't know ......" Tao Zhimo said quietly,
Tao Lingfeng stopped.
"Originally, the seventh sister was the concubine. Over the years, she has been very aggrieved in her heart, and her mother must have been very aggrieved in her heart. When I go back, they won't take me under the knife? β
He was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's still what you think." However, now that my identity is not as good as before, I have gained the common sense of Lord Yong, and now I am a deputy general, even my father and second brother, and I will also give me some face. I'll be a ...... when you go back."
"Big brother!" Tao Zhimo interrupted him again, "Don't be naΓ―ve, the back house is as deep as the sea, you can't protect me." It's easy to dodge with open guns, but it's hard to defend against hidden arrows. If you don't believe it, you can ask Aunt Xia when you go back. β
He was silent for a long time, and then sighed deeply, looking rather helpless.
"So what are your plans now?" He hadn't asked her yet, she said that she was living in seclusion in Xuzhou, and why she came to the border of Qingzhou.
"Big brother, do you know anything about the Jimo family?" Tao Zhimo couldn't help but ask.
"What are you asking for?" Tao Lingfeng was a little surprised.
Tao Zhimo said bluntly, "Jimo has been practicing medicine in the palace for decades, how could he possibly murder the emperor's heir?" β
Tao Lingfeng was startled, hurriedly covered her mouth, and said in a low voice, "How can you and I discuss this harem matter?" β
"But don't you think it's strange, big brother? You and I know very well that the murder of the imperial heir must have been committed by the concubines in the palace, even if there is really a royal doctor to take the blame, it should not be their Mo family. β
Tao Lingfeng's eyebrows twisted into a river, and he said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that they will not be convicted because of the affairs of the harem, but because of them, there will be turmoil in the palace." "Or maybe someone kills two birds with one stone.
Tao Zhimo's heart sank, and his voice lowered, "Is there someone who wants to get rid of the Jimo family?" β
Tao Lingfeng nodded, he had discussed this matter with his father in the study, and his father had pointed out that he was not really an elm head, so he knew a thing or two.
"Who could it be?" Tao Zhimo's brain was a little blank.
"What do you say?" Tao Lingfeng asked rhetorically.
Tao Zhimo's heart suddenly became clear, and he muttered, "Why is this? β
Before the fall of the crown prince, the Jimo family had already turned the tide and remained neutral, and the new emperor should not rush to kill them all.
What's more, the four princes have been tolerant and gentle since they were children, why would they attack the Jimo family? Or did they practice medicine in the harem and learn some secrets that they shouldn't have? But they have been practicing medicine in the palace for many years, and they have been safe and sound for so many years, and something should happen at this time. Could it be that the Jimo family and the government are more deeply involved? Tao Zhimo couldn't think of a reason for a while.
"Why are you asking about this matter of the Mo family?" Tao Lingfeng doesn't know, although their Tao family and the Jimo family are officials in the same dynasty, they rarely have contacts, and the sixth sister shouldn't know them, how can they care so much about the Jimo family?
"Don't hide it from my eldest brother," Tao Zhimo said half-truthfully, "I have been away for three years, and I happened to get acquainted with Jimo's patriarch, Jimo Yan, and I have also received many favors from him. She paused, "Half a month ago, Ananda happened to flee to me, and I ...... I took him in, but who knew he was still captured by the guards. β
"Y-You took him in?" Tao Lingfeng was taken aback! Accept the imperial court, but deal with the same crime!
"Yes."
"You, you, how are you? The officers and soldiers didn't arrest you? β
"I don't know, that officer and soldier only captured Ananda, and it seems that they have the heart to let me go." She still can't understand why that Lord Zhou would let her go.
"This ...... Xu is that it is difficult to bear it. Tao Lingfeng thought so, but he faintly felt that something was wrong.
"Perhaps." Tao Zhimo replied casually, and became annoyed again, "Big brother, do you think there is any way to save their family?" β
"You and Jimo are difficult...... Are you obsessed with him? Tao Lingfeng couldn't help asking, she called him intimate, but she was afraid that the relationship between the two was not simple.
Tao Zhimo hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's just, big brother, the one who is a confidant dies ......" Tao Zhimo suddenly froze, this sentence didn't seem to be used properly, because the next sentence was a woman who pleases herself, "He is my confidant!" Big brother, it's rare to have a confidant in life. I'd rather die than be safe and sound! β
Tao Lingfeng frowned, in fact, he had seen this once or twice even if he was a man, not only did he behave gently, but he also had a good skin, and his sister didn't necessarily fall in love with him.
When a woman is infatuated, she will promise life and death, and if she is lovesick, she will be sick.
He had left home when she was young, and when she returned, she had disappeared, and he had not fulfilled his duties as an eldest brother, and he felt a little guilty when he thought about it. Seeing that she was very affectionate, he carefully analyzed it for her, "We all know that the Mo family was framed by someone, but the person who was framed was also ......" He said, stretching out his index finger and pointing upward, "...... tacit consent. However, the case has now been handed over to King Yong, and if he is willing to intercede in front of the saint, the saint may give him a thin face. As long as the saint allows, King Yong may be able to deal with it lightly after the case is overturned, or find another scapegoat. It's just that in my capacity, I naturally can't go beyond the norm to talk to him about it. β
Tao Zhimo's eyebrows frowned slightly, speaking of which, he still had to start from Nangong Ci.
"Sixth sister, Lord Yong is selfless with an iron face, and this case will not be merciful because of the personal feelings of his children." Moreover, like the sixth sister, it seems that she has some personal affairs with Jimo, if the prince of Yong is still thinking about the old love, he is afraid that it will backfire, thinking of this, he reminded her a few times.
Tao Zhimo didn't care, she and Ananda were innocent, "I have my own plans, big brother don't worry." Moreover, Nangong Ci is not as selfless as rumored, according to her understanding of him, in fact, he is an extremely black-bellied person, and he loves communiquΓ© personal vendetta the most.
Tao Zhimo thought about it for a while, and said, "If King Yong is really so selfless, then I will avenge the Jimo family!" "Doesn't he like to pretend to be selfless in front of his men?
Tao Zhimo didn't know, in fact, Nangong Ci's real subordinates all knew that he had a very black belly, extremely black belly.
"No!" Tao Lingfeng hurriedly said, "With your identity, how can a woman who has not left the cabinet show up to avenge the Jimo family?" As everyone knows, our Tao family has no relationship with the Jimo family. If you say that you have known him in the past three years, but you must know that you have been 'recuperating' in the house for the past three years, then it is a private gift, how will you allow others in the future? β
Seeing Tao Lingfeng's nervous appearance, Tao Zhimo suddenly felt warm in his heart. It turned out that there were still people in the family who really cared about her innocence. The eldest brother is really much better than the second brother.
In his previous life, she was still young when he went to join the army, although he remembered that he loved her, but he gradually forgot about it later. Later, when she heard the news of his death, although she cried for a few days, she was not so sad that life was worse than death. Now that she thinks about it, she is really a person with no conscience, and she can't help but feel a little guilty.
Fortunately, the eldest brother is still alive in this life, fortunately, God gave her a chance to come again, she wanted to treat him well, and repay these people who are sincere to her.
"Sixth sister, don't be impulsive in this matter, I will return to Beijing after a while, and I will discuss it with my father then."
Tao Zhimo hurriedly said: "Don't tell your father about this." β
