"Why are you here?" Situ Zhao was tending to her flowers and plants.

"This cactus is good, but the thorns are softer." Tao Yao turned a deaf ear and said as she looked at the burr under her hand.

"Cactus? Say, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Situ Zhao rolled his eyes, anyway, no one else didn't have to pretend.

"I want you to pull a line and find the righteous king to get together." Tao Yaoyao turned around and looked at her.

"Why should I help you?" Situ Zhao ignored her and still poured water.

"It's not good to water this thing too much, and you don't need such a good fertilizer, just plain sand. Exposed to the sun, it will grow better in the wind and rain. Tao Xiaoyao reminded.

"Oh? Do you know? Situ Zhao didn't believe it.

"Hehe, it was originally a thing that belonged to the desert land, and it was moved into the courtyard of birds and flowers because of people's selfishness, how about the precious porcelain pot, and how about the careful care? Born with a heart that is unruly with the world, it can only be locked up like a walking corpse. Tao Xiaoyao touched the thorns, but it didn't hurt, and the words meant something.

"What do you mean?" Situ Zhao asked after being silent.

"The young lady of the Situ family is smart and naturally understands. If you help me this time, I'll make its thorns harder, how about it? Tao Yao smiled and let go, not worried that Situ Zhao would refuse.

"You've eaten me to death. What's the matter, don't say that you want to practice it for the righteous king. Situ Zhao showed an expression of disbelief, can this little fox have no purpose?

"Naturally, it is for the righteous king to practice, but you must invite Tao Tuo." Tao Xiaoyao nodded slightly.

"The eldest son of the Tao family, your brother? Isn't there no friendship? Situ Zhao was puzzled.

"You know that. That's right, just because you didn't have anything before doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in the future, after all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, let alone passers-by? "Tao Yao pretended to be mysterious.

"Alright, I don't know what you want to do, I'll talk about it. But success or failure is not something that can be said about my identity. Situ Zhao waved her hand, since she had decided not to participate, she didn't want to care about the Tao family's affairs.

"Thank you." Tao Xiaoyao nodded, with her experience, as long as Situ Zhao opened his mouth in this matter, Qing Siyi would not refuse, as for what kind of reason she used, she believed that Situ Zhao would not let her down.

"No, we're just swapping." Situ Zhao raised his eyelids.

Sure enough, she has always felt strange, this Guanyin palm grows in the desert all year round, and even a mouse can't live in that place, but this thing can be proudly independent and fearless of hardships, not only that, winemaking, medicine, so it is also one of Situ Zhao's favorites. It's just that no matter how carefully she cooks, this palm petal always doesn't grow as strong as in the desert, and as Tao Xiaoyao said, even the thorns are softer.

"Also, as far as I know, the old lady Situ was imprisoned, as for why Situ Bai didn't kill people to prevent future troubles, it is likely that the old man still has something in his hands that he wants. Situ Bai has a lot to do with those Simo people who entered the country in disguise, so once he gets what he wants, then-" Tao Yaoyao didn't say anything, it was already so obvious Of course Situ Zhao understood.

"What? Is this true?! Situ Zhao shook his hand violently, touched the thorns, and some red dots were printed on his wrists.

"Tsk, look. Although this cactus was grown in a greenhouse, it can still make people see blood sometimes. However, tigers have been tamed for a long time and are like horses to be claimed, and sometimes if you don't fight, it doesn't mean that you won't be fine. Tao Yaoyao looked at Situ Zhao's reaction as if it was expected, and the words he said were unfathomable, and it was like a thunderbolt in Situ Zhao's ears.

"Zhao'er has been taught." Situ Zhao glanced at her gratefully and saluted.

"Alright, I have to go back and rest, I've been getting tired a lot lately." Tao Xiaoyao touched her belly, and some relief and warm smiles came to her face.

"Miss, do you really want to stand with the Tao family?" The maid beside Situ Zhao asked.

"We didn't stand with the Tao family, we just stood with Tao Yao'er." Situ Zhao smiled and was noncommittal.

"But Childe's side—"

"Childe? Hmph, is he me Situ Zhao also picking the flowers and plants in this greenhouse! I didn't mean to, since he repeatedly deceived people too much, don't blame me for being ruthless! Kenshin ordered to go down, and all transactions with the military department were suspended. I want to see where Situ Bai came up with some weapons out of thin air! Situ Zhao stroked the soft thorns with the hand that was printed with blood, and his heart no longer hesitated or wavered.

People have reverse scales, and she is no exception, if they don't touch her bottom line, no matter what they do, she is a member of the Situ family can tolerate it. But this time, she didn't want to endure it anymore.

"Yes." The servant girl named Kenshin answered.

"Where is the righteous king today?" Situ Zhao asked again.

"King Yi has listened to the emperor's Zhao in the study for the past few days, this meeting should be almost over." Kenshin replied.

"Then let's go and wait." Situ Zhao is not unaware of what has happened in the palace in the past few days, although she does not know the ins and outs very well, but she also knows that it is inseparable from the Tao family, according to the spies, there has been no change in the Tao Mansion in the past few days, but the tranquility before the storm seems to be too peaceful.

She didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but for the sake of her grandfather, she couldn't stay out of it. In that case, let's make this storm more violent!

After Tao Yaoyao left Leng Xiao Pavilion, he went to the lake to stand for a while. At this time, the lake was calm again, and there was no one on the lake, only the cold wind lingering in the ears. She didn't go back to the courtyard until the sun set, but she was a little surprised to see that Qing Yezhuo was also there.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace, and the emperor is auspicious." Tao Yaoyao performed a standard palace ceremony.

"What's wrong with me?" Qing Yezhuo probably knew that this woman would not give him a good look, and after letting him secretly add fuel to the fire, he didn't care.

With so much going on, Tao Yao must have felt that he didn't care about her. Actually, no, he had already arranged for someone to appear when she was threatened, but Tao Yaoyao handled it perfectly and didn't let him get this opportunity. However, in any case, he is the initiator and the laissez-faire of this matter.

He is gambling, betting that the heart of the peach is in the Tao family or with him! Although, the stakes are a bit big.

"The concubines don't dare, I don't know what the emperor has to say when he comes this time?" The indifferent tone was respectful and detached.

Qing Yezhuo frowned slightly, he thought about it before he came, this woman would lose her temper with him or even do something, or ask for something embarrassing, or still want to go out of the palace to wander, but he didn't expect this to be the result. Not only did Tao Xiaoyao not have any angry complaints, but he even knew etiquette and etiquette and seemed extremely generous, but why was he even more unhappy!

"I have come to love the concubine, does there have to be something here? Can't it be that you miss your concubine? Nightburn raised an eyebrow.

"The emperor tortured the concubines, but the concubines didn't dare. The concubines knew that the emperor had every opportunity, and they cared so much about the concubines today, and the concubines were terrified. "Tao Yaoyao owes her body, her month is still shallow, and her clothes are very loose, her face is already pretty, and she can't see that she is pregnant.

"Does Concubine Ai have to speak to me in such a tone?" After all, the night burn was displeased.

In his opinion, he took the initiative to make peace after the Cold War, and Tao Yaoyao was so faceless and faced him coldly, could he have a good temper?

Qing Yezhuo didn't feel that he had deviated a lot from the plan at all, although Tao Yao'er's appearance was an accident, but he also changed because of this accident, and he was a little uneasy when he saw that he was about to achieve the goal he wanted. He didn't understand, could it be that Tao Yao'er's heart was really inferior to the surname that bullied her and insulted her?

"If the concubine is indecent, please punish the emperor." Tao Xiaoxiao was very generous, and when he heard that he was not good, he immediately knelt down. It's just this kneeling that makes Qing Yezhuo's heart skip a beat.

"Tao Yao'er, do you know that you are pregnant with a dragon seed, so you kneel down without knowing the severity, if there is anything, are you worthy of me?" Qing Ye Zhuo said such words in a hurry, and Tao Yaoyao just snorted coldly in her heart.

Since the first cold war with him, she knew that those tenderness and long-term affection were just the warmth of the emperor, which could disappear in the blink of an eye, and she really gave her sincerity. And in the past few days, the night can be hidden or even disappeared, and she understands better that women have to rely on themselves at any time!

"The concubine knows her mistake, and the concubine will definitely be more careful not to let the emperor worry about Long'er anymore." Tao Yaoyao replied lightly, so that Qing Yezhuo finally couldn't help the green tendons on his forehead.

Did he have to tell Tao Yaoyao that he had not eaten or slept well in the past few days, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to endure the thoughts that worried her and think of her, he was always thinking about her, and when things were finally about to return to dust, he could convince himself to come to see her. He knew she had a grudge against him, but he couldn't say it, he couldn't take such a risk. When everything is over, he will definitely tell her in person that he will give her a supreme position, and even if there is no mother, he will not let anyone bully her again.

"I'm tired, concubine wait for me to bathe." Qing Ye said cheekily.

Tao Yaoyao thought that her cold words would make her popularity go, but anyway, she couldn't see it and her mind was quiet, but she didn't expect this person to become such a scoundrel. But isn't it, he is indifferent and stern as a king, warm and affectionate as her man, and extremely scoundrel as a man!

"The concubine's pool is a little cold in this season, the emperor should go back to the palace in order to take care of the dragon body." Tao Yaoyao pursed her lips and drove away with her head down.

"Are you disobedient?" Qing Yezhuo heard the meaning of her words, and he wouldn't leave.

"The emperor is too careful, but the bath in Taoyuanju is outdoors." Tao Yaoyao said the truth, this courtyard itself is not as good as those prosperous and magnificent halls, usually she bathes also let people fetch water, that pool she has only been to a few times, although it is a hot spring, but it is still a little cold in winter.

"I'll go there, and my concubine will serve." After saying that, he walked inside, he didn't want to listen to her refusal, it seemed that her heart door was closed to prevent him from entering again, this suspicion made Qing Yezhuo very uncomfortable, so he quickly ended the conversation and went in.

"Yes." Tao Xiaoyao didn't think so, she just thought he was arrogant, but it didn't matter, the cooling after the passion made her think more clearly.
