Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 133 Selfishness
"Your Majesty, although Mrs. Tao has taken all the blame, but Lord Tao is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the blame, and the minister has the courage to say that there is still the possibility of the mastermind. Mrs. Tao is a woman, although her mother family has been very famous for a while, but no matter what, she will not do such a big rebellion for no reason. Liang Gaoliang arched.
"What Liang Qing said is my own measure." Nightburn didn't seem to want to say more.
"But the emperor, if Mrs. Tao is beheaded tomorrow, there is no proof of it!" Liang Gaoliang saw Qing Yezhuo's impatience, and still admonished loudly.
"Liang Qing has been thinking a lot, this matter has been investigated since the disaster in Huicheng, and now that it has been revealed, whether there is any other evidence, I should find out before the ceremony." Nightburn looked up.
"Your Majesty, the ceremony must not be held at this time, if Lord Tao really has a great relationship with Ximo, then his ......" Liang Gaoliang saw that Qing Yezhuo was determined to cut through the mess quickly, so he had to rashly speak.
"Liang Qing, there is no need to discuss this matter." Nightburn waved his hand.
Liang Gaoliang was right, he really didn't want to check it anymore. He knew from the beginning that Tao Wancheng had a problem, but he only guessed with intuition, so he was on guard everywhere after Tao Ying entered the palace, to cover people's eyes and ears, I am afraid that except for Tao Ying, no one in the world knows that he has never touched her at all. With Tao Ying's temperament, he naturally won't say it, and he is also happy. It's just that after the incident of the Salt Gang, he really thought that he was thinking too much, but what happened later made him sure that Tao Wancheng was painting snakes.
Now, he has achieved his goal, as for Tao Wancheng's life and death, he doesn't care, and he can't make any big waves anyway. Why not please your sweetheart, why not condemn him and spare his life? It's just that Liang Gaoliang doesn't think so.
"The emperor - if the crime of treason is not cut down and the root is eradicated-" Liang Gaoliang's heart is not a rebel, if he is a concubine, even if he is a sole favor, it is not impossible, but being the mother of a country is another matter.
"Bold! Does Aiqing mean to kill all the people who have something to do with the Tao family, and I also have a relationship, don't you want to-" Qing Yezhuo didn't want to be patient anymore, although this guy was a talent who assisted the country and ruled the world, but if he was too upright, he would have to suppress it occasionally.
"I don't dare. Now that the emperor has made up his mind, the minister retired. Liang Gaoliang knelt down to confess his guilt, and sighed as he walked out of the temple gate.
Qing Yezhuo didn't know that he hadn't changed his mind, and if he had known, I'm afraid that what would have happened later would not have happened.
"Niangniang, the eldest lady has repeatedly harmed you, and she is the murderer of the lady, why do you still want to see her? Do you want to take this with you? Biyun held her mouth a little unhappy, she originally saw that Tao Yao asked her to prepare to eat and thought that her master was hungry, so she hurriedly went to get it, and also prepared chicken soup and bird's nest, who knew that it was for the eldest lady, she knew that she would make two plates of green vegetables and tofu casually, and spit by the way.
"Biyun, this is your fault. After all, the eldest lady has taken care of us for so long, and she is still amiable on the surface, and she will be on the road tomorrow, so of course I, as a junior, will go and see it. Tao Xiaoyao didn't care what Biyun said, and opened the box basket with a slightly sly expression.
"But all those bad things were instigated by her, and not only that, but she also deducted the money and harmed so many people-" Biyun felt angry when she thought about it, she didn't expect the quiet and kind lady to be so vicious.
"Biyun, this is your mistake, the son of the mouse can make holes, if it is not for the wisdom of the eldest lady, how can Tao Ying be so good at obeying Tao Yao'er? After so many years, you didn't notice it at all? "Tao Xiaoyao is not surprised at all, after watching so many dramas, I can't even see this, wouldn't it be in vain.
"When the mother said this, the slave remembered something." Biyun tilted his head and said.
"Oh?" Tao Yaoyao rummaged through something in the tall cabinet next to him, and there was no sentence to ride.
"After the lady was buried, the adults did not let the lady go to the tomb, although the eldest lady usually treats the lady not harshly but does not have too much intersection, but that time she unexpectedly let the lady out, the lady was very grateful to the eldest lady at that time, and kowtowed several times." Biyun is recalling, this incident has really passed too long, but she remembers it vividly.
"And then?" Tao Yaoyao disagreed, and continued to look for what she was looking for.
Then the young lady was discovered by the adults before she arrived at the tomb, and she asked the family law to put the young lady in a closed room, and did not let anyone see her. The slave maid was still young at the time, and there was no way to deliver food, so she went to beg the eldest lady. Who knew that the eldest lady readily agreed, and personally sent a lot of food to the young lady. Biyu's smiling face was entangled, it seemed that in her opinion, this eldest lady was still Tao Yao'er's benefactor? Hehe, Tao Xiaoxiao just wants to smile.
"And then?" Tao Yaoyao asked casually, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had found something she was looking for.
Later, after the young lady came out of the closed room, she took the initiative to move the yard. Mother - let the slave come, you can't tiptoe! When Biyun was still reminiscing, he suddenly found that Tao Yaoyao was tiptoeing to reach something, and hurriedly ran over.
Biyun helped her take out a small porcelain white waist bottle, exhaled, looked at her with these reproachful eyes, and put the waist bottle in her hand.
Tao Yaoyao is a little modest, because her stomach is not obvious, so she always forgets a lot of rules and regulations that the imperial doctor said.
"Biyun, you're just too stupid, eh...... Simple. Can this eldest lady kindly let Tao Yao'er see the rival she has hated for half her life? This is a junior, it's good that she didn't find someone to dig a grave. As for the eldest lady, she must be pretending to be a good person here, and then she will report to her husband, of course Tao Yao'er was captured alive. And then after being taught a lesson, she pretended to be a good person again. She pretended to be a good person for a lifetime, and the sky net was magnificent, but she became a heinous person when she died. Ridiculous! Tao Xiaoyao said while shaking the small waist bottle.
"Mother, what is this?" Biyun saw that Tao Yaoyao had been pouring this thing, and asked curiously without being attracted to his eyes.
"This thing can make people want to die, and it is a good companion for home travel." Tao Yaoyao smiled lightly, and the explanation was a little vague.
Biyun didn't understand, but since his master said it, so be it.
Tao Xiaoxiao dripped two drops into the rice, which seemed precious, and then closed the box basket.
"Let's go, or the food will be cold. Let's go see our venerable big lady! Tao Yao said with a squinting eye.
"Yes." Biyun carried the basket and followed Tao Yao out of the door.
"Participate in the mother!" The prison door was heavily guarded, and the guards at the door immediately knelt down and saluted when they saw Tao Yaoyao.
It's not that Tao Yao is famous, but Qing Yezhuo knows that this little woman will definitely go to the prison, and it is better to protect her from danger, so he ordered to go down, and the guards of the prison are waiting for this lord to come.
"Get up." Tao Yaoyao looked at the gray-brown wall with some emotion, from ancient times to the present, prisons are the imprisonment of freedom. But the deep palace with red bricks and green tiles is not another kind of rich prison?
"Mother, please come with me." A tall guard at the door got up and led Tao Yao to walk inside.
"Do you know who I'm looking for?" Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but be a little curious, she didn't even say what she was doing.
"The emperor has already ordered that the slave is the head of this prison for serious offenders, and he has been waiting for his mother for a long time." The guard replied respectfully.
The corners of Tao Yaoyao's mouth curled, although she didn't say anything in her mouth, she was still very happy in her heart.
"Mother, the person you want to see is inside. The emperor ordered, and the servants were guarding by the door on the second floor, and if there was anything to say, just say hello. After saying that, the guard stood in the doorway, his face facing outward, and began to make a three-no monkey.
"How are you!" When the eldest lady saw that it was a peach, her eyes were red, not sad but full of hatred.
"It seems that this is the nature of the eldest mother, the appearance of the eldest mother not showing people with a mask is unique, if it was like this in the past, I am afraid that my father will not be so unkind to you." Tao Yao smiled gently.
This ancient man never saw his own lady before marriage, and relied on the words of his parents to match, and most of these ancient women were educated from a young age, and there were very few personalities. Even if there is, it has long been smoothed out by intrigue, which boyfriend really likes those fake dolls?
"Humph! If you come to see my jokes, you don't have to. Tao Yao saw that the eldest lady was clasped by the bracelet and anklet, presumably because she was afraid that something would happen.
"Auntie is wrong. Today, Biyun is still talking to the palace about what happened when she was a child, saying that the eldest mother had to let the child go on the day of her mother's burial, and gave the child a bite to eat when her father punished her. These children feel that there are some things that the palace can't do. But when the eldest mother is leaving, bring some food, even if it is to repay the eldest mother's meal that day. Tao Yaoyao flashed her eyes and said nonsense sincerely.
The eldest lady not only didn't get angry when she heard Tao Yaoyao say this, but her expression was a little strange, she just looked up at Tao Yaoyao, and then at the food box, and said quietly: "Yao'er, since you can say so, I won't shirk it." Although I hate your mother, but your mother also ruined my life, I just ask you to help Ying'er and let her live well. ”
"Auntie, don't worry, although I am not my father's biological child, I have had many years of affection. As for my sister, if I have a child's wealth and wealth, my sister's will be indispensable. Tao Yao's eyes flashed with tears, and even the eldest lady was a little stunned, and she could hear that the people below and Ying'er said that this Tao Yao'er had changed a lot, but at this time, it seemed that she still had the same temperament as before.
"That'll be fine." The eldest lady wanted to pat her hand, but unfortunately her hand was handcuffed and she couldn't do anything.
"Eat quickly, lady, this is specially prepared by the mother." Biyun put the box basket in front of the eldest lady, opened it for her, and set the dishes and chopsticks in a very decent way.
"Okay." People are dying, and some of the things that can't be figured out have also been figured out, but some hatreds can't be smoothed out by death, the eldest lady looked at the food in the box basket and swallowed her saliva. She has been glorious for half her life, but she has suffered a lot in this prison, not to mention good food, even ordinary meals have not been tasted.
The eldest lady was stunned for a moment, but still picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them one bite at a time. Although she was about to be beheaded, her eating appearance was still extremely gentle, and Tao Yaoyao looked at this woman's appearance and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
Such a beautiful woman, with a good upbringing and temperament, was reduced to a tool of the family and was not favored by her husband, and finally became a prisoner in love and hate.
"Auntie, can I ask you a question?" Tao Yaoyao asked softly.
The eldest lady did not answer, but looked up at her.
"Why do you want to take the blame for Tao Wancheng, you obviously don't know these things, but-"
"He was ruthless to me, but I could not treat him unjustly. I am the eldest lady of Tao Mansion, I have the responsibility to ......" Tao Yaoyao didn't hear what she said later, the sadness of ancient women happened to be here, and she didn't even have the right to choose love.
"Can you tell me, who my dad really is?"
