"So what?" Princess Taiping said: "In short, your appearance is almost seen by the people in the queen's palace, do you think there is still a possibility that Li Bao'er doesn't know at all?" ”

She said this as if her face was unsightly...... Tao Yao snorted silently, but she didn't show anything on her face: "Whether she knows it or not, I don't care, the soldiers will just cover up the water." It's just that some unnecessary troubles can still be saved. "After all, now that she is under the eaves, she can still get out of the favor of an unfavored princess like Li Jijiang, but against Li Bao'er, she will be suppressed more.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Princess Taiping nodded with satisfaction: "The children who have been by my side, if they don't even have this bit of guts, it will be too disappointing for me." ”

Seeing that the two of them were talking happily, Akihara also let go of his heart and quietly pulled Hongfu out, and the two of them walked towards the small kitchen while discussing the refreshments to be prepared later. No one noticed that the atmosphere in the flower hall had changed almost instantly. Compared with the big and small ones who drink tea, they smiled at the same time, and they rarely revealed their sincerity.

"Tell me, why did you come to me today?" Gently skimming the tea foam with the lid of the cup, Princess Taiping half-lowered her eyes, looking a little careless: "Now there are only two of us left, so there is no need to go around in circles." ”

"I just wanted to confirm with Your Highness, what role do you play in the current situation in the Divine Capital?" Princess Taiping is a bold and careful person, since she can rest assured that this meeting will be arranged in the flower hall, then the surroundings must be arranged. Tao Yao didn't worry about it senselessly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was a question that was extremely sharp.

Glancing at Tao Yao with a little surprise, Princess Taiping half-tilted her head, as if she was a little surprised: "Girl, your courage is getting bigger and bigger." She even dared to ask such a question, she thought that where this god was, and what was the place of this princess of Zhenguo.

"It's just that in order to survive, you have to see the situation more clearly, and I think Your Highness can understand it." Shrugging her shoulders, Tao Yao was not afraid of her obvious tone of intimidation: "You won't kill me like this, so there is nothing to scruple about." ”

"I find that you seem to be much more open-minded than when you were a child." stared at her with interest for a long time, and Princess Taiping suddenly laughed: "I remember when I first entered the palace, you were like a trembling little white rabbit, afraid of everything, worried about everything, and never spoke and did things more than half a step beyond the thunder pool." But now, those worries of yours seem to be gone? "It's a bit of a broken jar. is also to save his life, in order to survive, but the gap between the front and the back is inevitably too big.

"In the past, it was less than more, and I wanted too much, and I was too greedy." With a faint smile, Tao Yao's appearance was instantly lit up by such a simple pull, and in a trance, it was like a peach blossom blooming on the branches, beautiful and beautiful, but lonely and lonely: "Now, I only think about myself and the road I want to take in the future." As for the rest, I've done everything I can, and I don't want to worry about it anymore. ”

Does this mean that she is completely cold to Li Shouli and Yongwangfu? Princess Taiping thought for a while, and the hand holding the tea cup gradually stopped, allowing the slight sound to disappear in this space, and the entire flower hall became more empty and quiet.

"I once had the idea of asking my mother to make me my heir." The woman's flat voice sounded slowly, as if she didn't feel how sensational the content was: "She can be the emperor, why can't she be me?" Li Xian, that mediocre coward, if it weren't for the blood flowing in the Li family's blood, if he didn't occupy the title of eldest brother, how could he be qualified to sit in the current position. I, Li Lingyue, didn't lose to them at all, whether it was the Li clan or the Wu clan! My only disadvantage is just because I'm a woman! ”

"The Martial Emperor refused?" Tao Yao felt very incredible. This pair of mother and daughter, whether the relationship is good, even dares to say this kind of rebellious words at will. But if it is true, why does Wu Cao refuse to agree to Princess Taiping's request? Isn't it also superficial?

"Yes, she refused." Princess Taiping was expressionless, and her carefully groomed face seemed to be covered with a layer of dust in an instant, so dim that it almost blurred her original face: "She once said that I am the child who is most like her, and I am not lacking in wisdom and strategy, if I were a man, she would pass the throne to me without saying a word." But I'm a woman, so it's all empty talk in the end. ”

"If Your Highness were really a man, I'm afraid you would have been in the same place as my grandfather a few years earlier." Hearing the sneer between the lines, Tao Yao couldn't help but sneer. The weight of Wu Cao's suspicion is unimaginable to ordinary people. Although she is now kind and kind like an ordinary old lady, it is probably only because of the imminent death of people. If she was younger than ten or twenty years younger, Tao Yao had no doubt that she would have cut off her father directly. Instead of doing more, pinching such a small doll as her in the palm of her hand, there are many temptations.

Such disrespectful words fell into Princess Taiping's ears, but they only provoked her sneer: "But isn't it, so at that time, I understood that her so-called favor was all false." To stand in the supreme position, I can only rely on myself. ”

Speaking in detail, she is not without hatred for Wu Cao. Back then, she liked Xue Shao so much, she just wanted to marry him, even if she didn't want to leave her princess status, she would be able to live a lifetime after marriage. However, her mother forced her to give up all the happiness of an ordinary woman, the Xue family was annihilated because of the conspiracy, her beloved husband also died in prison, and at that time, her youngest son was about to reach the full moon. Wu Cao ignored her heartbreak, and ordered her to remarry Wu Youji in the name of compensation, and even did not hesitate to execute the latter's original wife.

She doesn't know what the relationship between Wu Youji and that woman is, but she can imagine that if she marries in like this with power, a man will not like herself. She also didn't understand, Wu Cao's move, was it compensation, or pushed her into a brand new fire pit? Anyway, since then, she has completely given up a woman's thoughts about love, and began to devote herself to the art of power schemes. She thought that her mother had to do it in order to force her down another path, and it was only when she was ruthlessly rejected that she realized that she should not even have the slightest hope.
