compromise
I don't know if Tao Guifei had such a plan at the beginning, according to what I conceived, she wanted to let Changji know everything through me. But in fact, I don't need to say it, Changji himself knew it early on. In this way, all the good intentions of Tao Guifei seem redundant and pale.
"No, when my aunt was trapped in the Zaoyan Palace, you visited her. She talks to you a lot, mostly from her past. She mentioned to you the queen, the former deposed prince Bailifu, the Yonghe King and his wife, and Dong Jia, almost all of them told you about the past, right? ”
Why did Tao Yuer know these things? Could it be that after me, Tao Guifei also saw her and said the same thing to her?
I was silent.
Tao Xu'er said: "This is enough to see that she trusted you very much and valued you very much at that time."
Tao Guifei was very ill at that time, and people couldn't recognize who was who, and they didn't trust it or not.
Tao Xu'er saw that I didn't say a word for a long time, endured it, and said slowly: "You have no relationship with your aunt, why does she value you so much, and she has to explain her last words to you, don't you feel curious?"
I pursed my lips and smiled, looked directly at her and said, "Sister Tao, if you are still talking nonsense to me now, instead of pointing out the key point." Then I really don't need to waste my time here with you. If you know what is hidden in this, just tell me frankly, don't let me guess, I am a very stupid person, I don't know how to speculate on people's hearts. ”
Tao Yu'er paused and said bluntly: "Okay, I'll say it directly." Let me ask you, when you entered the palace on the night of your aunt's death, you heard if the woman gave you a pipa, and said that my aunt gave it to you when she was dying. ”
When she said these words, the doubts in my heart became bigger and bigger, is she really Tao Yuer? She knew all these things, every word was true, and she seemed to be on the scene at the time.
I sneered twice, and involuntarily wanted to avoid her gaze, pretending to be calm: "I've never seen any pipa. What do you mean by that? ”
"No, you know exactly what I'm going to say. Don't worry, I'm not asking you to return that pipa, I'm trying to make a deal with you with the secret in that pipa. ”
My palms gradually sweated, and I slowly clenched: "What do you know, and what do you want me to make a deal with you?"
"Don't you want to know, who designed and framed the prince? And why was my aunt deposed, spoiled for half her life, and finally died in desolation? In the past few years, the strange things that have happened one after another in Jiankang City, who caused it, is it providence or man-made? There's so much involved. Do you want to know what it was all about? ”
To be honest, I'd love to know that, but I don't want to let Tao tell me.
I was amazed and said, "It's none of my business, I don't need to understand."
"But it's all about your longevity, isn't it? You don't care about him either? ”
I deliberately probed: "Where did you know about these secretive and little-known pasts, from Tao Niangzi." You're not trying to trick me into helping you, so you're talking nonsense. ”
"It doesn't matter where you know, the important thing is that you know in your heart whether what I'm talking about is true or not. You also want to know, but you don't want to take the risk of helping me easily, so you are hesitating. You can rest assured that you are a good deal and you will not lose money. Moreover, what I am about to tell you is extremely beneficial to you and to Changji. ”
I didn't care much, and said lightly: "Then you can tell me, what do you know, what is good for me, and what is good for Changji?"
Her hoarse and dry voice, like a cold wind pouring into her ears, was really uncomfortable, and she said: "The secret hidden in the pipa is related to a palace tragedy many years ago. It's about the crown prince, about the honor and disgrace of my aunt's half of her life, about the case of Nanzhan Kanyutu, where the Tao family was destroyed, and it's also about Changji. Whose son he is, I think, even if you are not interested in knowing, there are many people who are interested. For example, the crown prince, and for example, our saint~"
"Shut up, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand it, and I don't want to hear it anymore."
I'm so anxious that I can't do it, I'm really afraid that she will say something that shouldn't be said and fall into the ears of others and spread it, and then Changji's situation can be imagined.
I gritted my teeth and said hatefully, "Are you threatening me? Aren't you afraid, I'll kill people? ”
She laughed insolently, her voice was as crazy as a demon, and she said after laughing: "I may be afraid of being someone else, but you, I am completely assured, you will not kill me."
yes, how could I have killed her.
For you, knowing these things will give you a clear view of people, for example, you will have a deeper understanding of your husband, of who he really is. And for Changji, all this I know is inextricably linked to him. It can even be said that everything started because of him. You don't want to know, what did he do? You help me, you help me escape from the palace, and when I am sent to a safe place, I will naturally tell you everything I know. ”
I couldn't help but express my doubts and asked, "Why do I think, you don't look like Tao Xu'er?"
She probably knew too much.
"People change. After going through so much, if I am still like the simple-minded pottery who can only yell, this really doesn't make sense. Therefore, you must not become smart and plan a way out for yourself. ”
I deeply think that she has become a lot smarter, and she has learned the ability to negotiate terms with people.
I closed my eyes, helpless, and finally compromised: "You let me send you out of the palace, when." Mo not now? For such a big thing, why don't you plan it first and then execute it? ”
She was a little excited, walked up to me, and said happily, "It seems that you have agreed."
I kept my head down, noncommittal.
The temptation is so great, how can I not take the bait.
Her joy only lasted for the blink of an eye, and she immediately returned to her seriousness, and said calmly: "Naturally, it will not work today. I've planned it beforehand. Wait another half a month, and half a month later, the sixth day of the tenth month will be the seventieth anniversary of today. At the same time, the palace will definitely hold a banquet and invite the ministers. After the banquet is dismissed, taking advantage of the darkness, the hundred officials leave the palace, the forbidden army inventory is the busiest, and the most lax moment, we pretend to be ordinary waiting maids to mix in the crowd, there are many people, take advantage of their unpreparedness, and then sit in your carriage, and it is safer for you to send us out of the palace. ”
It turns out that she has everything planned and is waiting for me to drill the trap, right? Slowly, there seemed to be something in her words that I didn't have time to hear.
"We? Who else but you? ”
Tao Yu'er was dumbfounded, stunned, and subconsciously glanced back at the person behind her. Behind her was standing. It was the woman in the navy blue linen robe.
I pointed behind her and asked, "Are you talking about us, but also the person behind you?" Who is she? ”
"Nobody, just an insignificant person to you."
Flashing words, at first glance it is lying.
"Since you want to beg me to get you out, even if you don't spread out all your chips first, at least you have to make me clear where you are going out, what you are going to bring, and who you are going to bring. You hide everything, and you want me to rest assured and boldly help you out of the palace? If this person is an important person in the palace, I will definitely cause unnecessary trouble if I send you all away. At that time, if Jin Wuwei is alarmed to search, and then find me here, do you say that this crime should be borne by me, or by you, a person who has gone away, to bear it. ”
"Just don't worry about helping me, it'll be fine. She and I are both slaves of sin in the court. I am often bullied by people on weekdays, but she is the only one who is willing to help me and has the best relationship with me. I wanted to repay her, so I thought that if I could get out of the palace, I would also take her with me. ”
By the way, take her with you, buy one get one free? Besides, Tao Xu'er can still have this awareness, and he will pity others for suffering. Don't say I don't believe it, it's just that she doesn't believe it herself.
Or it was caused by a weak heart, Tao Xu'er's eyes were erratic, and she responded casually: "I have said everything I should have said, and I have not concealed it." ”
"Well, you let the person behind you show her face and show me who she is."
"All of them said, she, like me, is just a slave of sin in the court, not a very important person. You don't have to see her face clearly. ”
The person behind Tao Xu'er is really strange, he never made a sound from beginning to end, and he has been hiding behind Tao Xu'er, never leaving an inch. She wore a wide hood on her head and a scarf over her face, clearly not wanting people to recognize her true identity.
"Since she's not important, then why don't you dare let me see her? If you don't let me, then I'll see it myself. ”
I was about to lift the man's hood, but Tao Yu'er immediately raised her hand to block me, protected the man behind me, and then pleaded with her eyes, stared at me and said, "No, please, don't ask again." ”
"What are you really hiding from me?"
Tao Xu'er timidly looked away and whispered: "Half a month later, you send us out of the palace, and when we get to a safe place, I will naturally tell you everything." ”
I was full of doubts, but seeing Tao Xu'er's miserable face, I didn't want to force her, since she didn't want to tell me now, I couldn't use the strong one, so I had to give up.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry to find out who she is right now. But be clear, if you want to play any tricks on me, I can always regret it and send you back to where you belong. ”
Out of the arch, I saw Duobu and Sheng Yunjiang stretching a long distance, standing in front of a dead tree on the left and right, and their faces were obviously not very good. Duobu is worried, Sheng Yunjiang is annoyed by something.
I deliberately walked very hard, Duobu asked and looked up to see me, his expression immediately softened, three steps and two steps in front of me, and said cautiously: "Why is it delayed for so long." That person, what did she tell you? ”
I shook my head and whispered, "I'll talk about it later."
Sheng Yunjiang approached, a weird smile rose at the corner of his lips, and he raised the fan idly, covering his lips in a cowardly manner: "How did you discuss?" ”
"It has nothing to do with Sister Sheng."
I glared at her, didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, and took Duo Step and hurried away.
