Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 128 Can't leave the palace
"Mother, drink some water." Biyu thought that Tao Xiaoyao was still worried about Tao Ying's words yesterday, and saw her sitting by the window in a daze, so she poured a cup of new winter flower tea and wanted to give her a cold drink.
Tao Yaoyao fell asleep groggily last night, and woke up a little soulless. Her mind has been playing back in the picture after coming to this world, she thinks that Tao Ying's words have a certain degree of credibility, not complete malicious slander, such a thing kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred, and she will not say it unless she has to.
If things are really as she said, then it's worth pondering.
"Biyun, have you packed up?" Tao Yaoyao got up in the morning and was ready to go back to Tao Mansion, Tao Wancheng would not have no reaction to such a big thing.
"Ready, sissy." Biyun walked out with the baggage.
"Concubine Tao, the emperor has a decree. Niangniang is unwell, and she has been working hard recently, so don't go out of the palace again, and cultivate more. Just as Tao Yao was about to go out, Guifu entered the courtyard and preached at the door.
"Father-in-law-" Bi Yun was just about to step forward and ask carefully, this emperor didn't see what it meant to make this will at this time.
"Niangniang don't worry, the emperor said that he will deal with yesterday's affairs. As for the token that Niangniang left the palace, it is useless for the time being during this time, and Niangniang can keep it with peace of mind. Guifu knew what Biyun wanted to ask in the blink of an eye, and he didn't hide anything, so he gently persuaded Tao Yaoyao.
"This palace knows, there is Grandpa Lao." Tao Yaoyao restrained Biyun and said politely.
"The minions are gone." Guifu didn't look up at Tao Xiaoxiao, and directly put down the reward brought by Qing Ye Zhuo and left.
It seems that he is not busy, but deliberately comes every time!
If it weren't for Guifu coming at this point, Tao Yao Yao probably didn't expect that there would be a demon by accident. And Qing Yezhuo has been abnormal recently, which makes her a little confused, and today I am afraid that he knows that he wants to investigate to the end, so he sent Guifu to stop him. What exactly was his plan, and why didn't he tell her?
Tao Xiaoyao didn't know that while she was thinking, the wind had already begun to surge outside.
"Lord Wang, it has been found out, this is indeed the right pendant of spring ribbon color." On the other side, Qing Tianhao also didn't sleep all night, at this time he held the bracelet in his hand, but his eyes were not sleepy, burning like a fire.
"Identity—checked?" Qing Tianhao didn't look at the man.
"Lord Wang, the bones have been precipitated for too long, and the fish and shrimp in the lake have phagophages, and a lot of evidence is beyond consideration, and it still needs the essence and blood of the prince to be confirmed."
"This king knows, go down."
"Yes."
Qing Tianhao sneered, the bloodthirsty light shattered the corner of his eyes, he struggled to endure and accommodate everywhere, but he didn't expect to get it like this!
Thirteen years ago, that summer day, he would be literate. Hiding under the corner of the pavilion of the lotus building, he remembered that the summer lotus full of lakes was not spectacular, and the queen mother and the ladies of the palace on the pavilion were also competing for beauty, only that woman was wearing a plain skirt and slightly powdered, more like a white lotus, which could be viewed from a distance and could not be blasphemed. He raised his head and looked at her with slender phoenix eyes, and suddenly on the side of the back of a figure wearing a satin skirt, a clean handkerchief like the woman's white mud and unstained slipped from his hand, and fell straight into the lake with his eyes, and he clearly saw that the handkerchief was embroidered with a Mu character, which was strong, powerful, rough and arrogant.
His thoughts were interrupted by a scream that he had been awakened by for countless days and nights to come. Then he saw that the woman had thrown herself into the lake, and the water of the lake bloomed into a beautiful splash, just like the men in the pavilion, and he saw her queen mother, without any expression, but looked at him.
He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, impossible, how could his queen mother see him from this angle, if he let the queen mother know that he ran out of the teacher's class, I am afraid that a board is indispensable.
Yes, the teacher doesn't care if he doesn't care if they are attentive or not, only the prince. Oh, it's the woman's son, the Mu character he saw.
His father, the emperor, did not ask about their schoolwork, but was strict with the crown prince. He found that as long as he said something good, his father would reward him with many interesting and strange things, so he learned how to talk about ghosts, snakes, cows, and horses. But his queen mother did not seem to be pleased, and when he showed off the rewards, when he secretly rejoiced that he did not have to try, his queen mother always quietly sought someone to spur him on and teach him.
But after that day, it never passed.
The woman jumped out of the lake, the people in the pavilion were full of mockery with their masks, and your lord's people panicked as if they were facing a great enemy, and before long the man in bright yellow clothes arrived. He just glanced at her, and her queen mother was punished for three months and was not allowed to go out; He just said a word, and that pavilion was razed to the ground in the north of the river; He was just an action, the Luo skirt that collided with her, and no one cared about it in this deep palace, and the fragrance and jade were desolate. Most of those palace maids and eunuchs he never saw again.
He trembled and waited until everyone had left the place, which had been the most lively place in the scorching sun, and since that day there had been few people coming and going, and everyone seemed to feel unlucky. Of course, from that day on, the woman's body seemed to be getting worse day by day, and then she moved directly to a cold yard and didn't care about the world. Because the palace was later rebuilt and expanded, it was a fork in the road of the cold courtyard, and many people were reluctant to go from there, and the lake slowly became a barren lake.
It's just that from that time, his always humble and dignified queen mother became a little unrecognizable to him, she was crazy, she disdained, she used everything in the mother clan to let him plunder the position that did not belong to him. But the Queen told him that the position was his, and that he should take it back. However, he didn't want to, he just wanted to live such a life of ups and downs, and he didn't want to see the dampness and coldness in those lights. If he still wants to see it, he still wants to see that woman, the woman who is as white as a lotus, but he never has a chance again.
When he saw her again, she was already lying in a coffin of a heavy carved phoenix in peach wood, which had been carried by eight people, and the front hall was full of mourning, and he did not see his father, the man whom he had always revered, despite his indulgence and pampering.
Later, he saw her, the shy woman hiding behind the screen, his eyes lit up, this woman and her were like, like the lotus, but there was a lack of aura, what else? He didn't know either, but his disappointment made him want to flee. When her queen mother told him that this woman would be his future wife, he did not resist, perhaps because God wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish hidden in his heart.
However, how can the things of the world be exhausted in just a few words, his father promised the little white lotus to the prince, and his heart sank. Yes, how could he not know that in the heart of his father, who is admired by thousands of people, there is only the crown prince, and they are just green leaves.
That's it, he doesn't want to fight, and he doesn't want to fight, there are many lotus flowers in this world, why do you have to pick the most dangerous one. However, the little white lotus didn't seem to think so, and when he knew that she had fallen off the cliff, he had a trace of helplessness, a trace of remorse, and a trace of happiness. Helplessly, fate was helpless, regret failed to firm an inch of square, and fortunately ended up uninhibited.
It's just that his queen mother died not long after, and they said that he was infected with a disease and could not see people, and he was even more far away in order to prevent infection. On the day of his mother's burial, he only heard the long-lasting ringing of the bell in the palace, and after that, the mother family also declined, and was divided by the new aristocracy, leaving only the power that his mother had reserved for him.
At least, those powers were enough for him to protect himself, he laughed at himself.
Qing Tianhao put the jade bracelet in his hand into a satin bag embroidered with two lotus flowers and put it in his arms.
His gaze changed from cloudy to clear, as if he had found the meaning or purpose of life, these clarity could not stop the hatred hidden in his eyes, those hatreds were like a spark, and when there was an opportunity, they would burn the prairie and burn everything to the ground.
"Mother?" Jasper asked Tao Yao.
"Since you can't leave the palace, I'll find someone to ask." Tao Yaoyao frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of someone.
"What do you mean?" Jasper is puzzled, who to ask? Guifu will definitely not say it, is it possible to find the emperor directly?
"Didn't Tao Tuo go to the border with King Yi, this meeting should come back together, King Yi is about to return to the border, let's go see him, and by the way, we will meet this big brother." The corners of Tao Yaoyao's mouth twitched, and she almost forgot about this person.
"But Niangniang, you have rarely spoken to the eldest young master since you were a child, and you see that the eldest young master is only hiding far away, will this go, will it-" Biyu worried.
"Oh? So, he and Tao Ying are all the way? That's right, after all, blood is thicker than water. Tao nodded her head.
"Niangniang, the eldest young master is not born to the master! You forget, the lord and his wife were newly married for a year and were not pregnant, so they adopted the young master and thought they were begging for a child. Biyu explained, after all, Tao Yao bumped into her brain and didn't remember many things.
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Tao Yaoyao looks like he hates iron but not steel.
"The mother didn't ask." Jasper has a sad little face, is this important? Besides, there aren't many people who know about this, and it's not a good thing, so there's no need to talk about it.
"No wonder, the eldest lady is willing to let this only son go to such a dangerous place, it seems that she wants to use him to consolidate the status of the Tao family and consolidate her own rights. It's a pity, if you accidentally lose all the games! Taoyao's eyes lit up, and it seemed that he had found the direction to break through.
"Let's go!" Tao Xiaoyao collected her mood and strode away.
"Mother, slow down. Where are we going? Biyu caught up with small steps, and although Tao Xiaoxiao was pregnant with a child, she did not change her way at all.
"Leng Shinokaku."
