Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 76 Making Clues
"Mother, is it here? There's nothing. Jasper rummaged under the bed and found nothing like a box or anything.
"I'll take a look." Tao Xiaoyao pulled Jasper up, squatted on the ground and beat it carefully, Bixi had no reason to lie to herself, there was a compartment under the bed.
"Biyun has been with Miss for so long, I don't know there is a compartment under the bed." Biyu saw the peach knocking around, and then said.
It seems that there are some things that Tao Yao'er even hides from Biyun and Biyu, and things are getting more and more confusing, this Tao Yao'er seems to really have an ulterior secret.
"There it is!" Tao Yaoyao's eyes lit up.
She repeatedly knocked on a small piece of the floor and found that the sound was empty.
"Jasper, bring me a knife."
Jasper then pulled out a delicate gemstone dagger from the box, with an exotic style, thinking it was Tao Yao'er's collection.
"Click-" Momo took the dagger and cocked the plank.
Sure enough, there was a small compartment in it, and Tao Xiaoyao felt that there was a box in the compartment and carefully held it out.
"Mother, what's in here?" Biyu saw that Tao Xiaoxiao really took out a box and asked curiously.
How do I know, I'm not Tao Yao'er!
"Just open it and you'll know." Tao Xiaoyao said, and the box was unlocked, so it was opened.
"This is the Luoxia hairpin!" At a glance, Biyu saw a hairpin lying in the middle and exclaimed.
"It seems that Bixi really didn't deceive everyone, so Tao Yao'er really asked her to hide? But why? Tao Xiaoyao muttered to herself.
Yes, Tao Yaoyao originally thought that it was even certain that the hairpin was stolen by Tao Ying, but now she found that the hairpin was here, and there are too many doubts.
First, at the critical moment when he was hijacked by robbers, he didn't think about how to escape, but asked Bixi to hide the hairpin. Tao Yao'er doesn't seem to be worried about her life, but cares more about this hairpin, is it a relic of her own mother, so she cherishes it to this extent.
Second, Tao Yao'er knew that Tao Ying had bad intentions, so why did she leave Jasper and Biyun behind, and only took Bixi to Longli Temple.
Third, how did Tao Yao'er escape after being kidnapped, why did she flee to Shuiyao Village, it is obviously the opposite direction of Xiaocheng, she has no relatives and no reason except Xiaocheng, why did she run in the opposite direction, is it really a road idiot?
There are too many questions swirling in Tao Yaoyao's mind, but she is not Tao Yao'er after all, I don't know what she thinks, so I can only slowly find the truth of the matter.
"Mother, mother?" Biyu saw that Tao Yao's eyes were blank, so she shouted.
"Huh?" Peach came back to his senses.
"There's something in there." Jasper looked at the box.
"It's—" Tao Xiaoxiao picked up the things under the Luoxia hairpin.
This is a poetic letter.
Every time I remember this, I can't sleep. I want to put down my pen when I write this book, but I am afraid that I will not feel my heart, and it is difficult to deceive myself. has no choice but to make people, only thinking about seeing each other and hating each other, Si Ming's eyes are looking forward to it, and he can't stop. When I see Yiren every day, my heart is swinging, and I don't go to talk and laugh in my heart. Don't look back, think long in the sky, not in front of you. The heart of leisure, the sun and the moon can be seen. ”
"It's a love poem, but it's not signed."
"Mother, this is—"
"It's been a bit old." Tao Yaoyao carefully looked at this yellowed letter paper, although the paper was old, but not broken, I think it has been well preserved, and there is a faint gold wire in the middle of this paper, it is a very rare and precious paper, it should not be used by ordinary people.
"Jasper doesn't know that Miss has received this poem?" Jasper struggled to remember.
"This is not written to Tao Yao'er, this piece of paper has been around for twenty years, and Tao Yao'er was not born at that time!" Tao Yaoyao explained.
"Mother, you-"
"Oh, I have amnesia, so naturally I don't remember anything." It's a little strange that Tao Yaoyao said Tao Yao'er so casually.
"But why is this love poem here?" Jasper asked.
"It should be someone who has something to do with Tao Yao'er, maybe she kept it on her behalf, since Bixi knows it, it shouldn't be something too important."
"Hmm."
"Put away the Luoxia hairpin and put this back." Tao Xiaoyao put the love poem back in the box and handed it to Jasper.
"Yes." Jasper took the box and put it back in place.
Tao Yao'er carefully looked at this hairpin, this hairpin is also some years, the gems on it have been polished smooth, the whole hairpin is made of red jade, although it is not luxurious, but it is extremely exquisite, the beads of the hairpin head are inlaid with rubies of various shapes, and the hairpin complements each other, just like the glow of the sunset, no wonder it is called the sunset.
"Mother-"
"Is Biyun back?"
Tao Yaoyao asked Biyun to go to Xiaoshanna and give her the new manuscript, and she also took advantage of this time to draw more pictures, just in case, but she didn't expect to come back so soon.
"Mother, everything is done."
"Okay, Jasper, there's one more thing for you to do."
"Mother, please speak."
"Let Linglong Pavilion make a hairpin that is exactly the same as this one as soon as possible, and you must hand it over to Xiaoshan yourself, and don't let outsiders know." Tao Yaoyao handed over the Luoxia hairpin.
"This is, Luoxia hairpin?! Found it? Biyun exclaimed when he saw the hairpin in front of him.
"Yes, didn't lie to us." Jasper said.
"Then why did she go to Concubine Ying?"
"Everyone has their own ambitions, the matter has come to this point, and you don't have to get too entangled." Tao Yaoyao said, maybe there is something wrong, no matter what, since things have happened, don't worry about it anymore.
"But—"
"Alright—let's go."
"Yes, sissy." Biyun stopped talking, took the hairpin and left again.
"Niangniang, Biyun is straight, don't blame her."
"I naturally know, how can I blame her for such a trivial matter." Tao Yaoyao handed over a relaxed look.
Tao Yaoyao looked at the room carefully, and after finding nothing, she led Jasper out the door. As soon as I went out, I saw the eldest lady standing at the door with some maids.
"Peach Concubine Niangniang auspicious-"
"No courtesy." Tao Yaoyao was a little surprised, she came back quietly while Tao Wancheng was not there, but she didn't expect the eldest lady to know.
"Concubine Tao, please forgive your sins." The eldest lady still didn't get up.
"What did the aunt say about this?"
"Concubine Tao Niangniang returned to the house for such a major event, the next person did not report it in time, and now she has been fined twenty boards, I wonder if Niangniang can forgive?"
"Okay, this palace didn't want to inform anyone, just come back and see." Tao Xiaoyao waved his hand.
"Niangniang has such a noble status, if you don't report what accident happens, the Tao family can't afford it."
"This palace knows, auntie, get up quickly."
Tao Yaoyao has always heard that this eldest lady is very virtuous and can be a person, but today she feels that she is quite deep in the city. Obviously, he blamed Tao Yaoyao for coming back without notifying, but instead took a detour and borrowed a subordinate to speak, hehe, what a powerful means. Why was Tao Yao'er always bullied by Tao Ying in the past, Tao Wancheng really didn't care or knew less, this eldest lady is not simple!
Also, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, a person like Tao Ying, the mother will naturally not be a simple role.
"Concubine Tao's return to the house this time is-"
"Hongu has lost his memory since he fell off the cliff, and I want to come back and see if I can remember anything." Tao Yaoyao stared at her closely.
"What does Concubine Peach remember?"
"Well, I think some of the objects are familiar. But I couldn't think of anything. "The peach is pretending to be a twist.
The eldest lady's originally solemn makeup showed a hint of nervousness, and then there was a hint of relief.
It seems that the amnesia may really be related to this woman, Tao Xiaoyao thought in her heart, it seems that the palace fighting drama for so many years has not been watched in vain.
"There are a few puzzles in this palace that I want to ask my aunt." Tao Yao pretended not to understand.
"Niangniang, please say, the concubine knows everything and speaks endlessly." The eldest lady replied respectfully.
"When the emperor was alive, did the palace have a marriage contract?" Tao Yaoyao asked concisely and clearly.
"Niangniang naturally has no marriage contract, Niangniang is now a noble concubine, how can there be such a marriage contract?"
"Oh? Is this true, even if it is verbal? ”
"This-when the first emperor was alive, the queen mother had intended to give the mother to the three princes at that time, but was rejected by the first emperor, and the first emperor intended to give the mother to the prince at that time, which is the current saint." The eldest lady spoke a little stumbling.
"Oh? So why is this palace a palace to enter by draft? ”
"Don't hide it from Niangniang, Niangniang was unwilling before falling off the cliff, and when that happened again, the master married Ying'er. Later, when the mother came back, the old man read the wish of the emperor, so he let the mother enter the palace for the draft, and everything was decided by the will of heaven. "The eldest lady will speak very neatly.
"I see. The child has lost his memory, and he asks his wife not to be surprised. ”
"Niangniang is serious, Niangniang is now the only one who has the holy grace, which is the blessing of my Tao family."
"Haha, the eldest lady is so good at talking, this palace doesn't know how to continue."
"It's—" The eldest lady's expression was a little embarrassed.
"This palace is just joking with the eldest mother." The corners of Taoyao's mouth curled.
The eldest lady spoke without leaking, and began to speak uncomfortably, thinking that she did not expect that she would ask this question and ask it so bluntly, and then the words were so slippery, as soon as she heard it, she had practiced, and she had already thought about how to answer this question. Anyway, she has amnesia now, and there is no proof of it, so she can say whatever she wants.
Tao Yaoyao is almost certain that Tao Yao'er's fall from the cliff is related to this woman, but there is no substantial evidence, and everything needs to be investigated slowly and considered in the long run.
"There is still something to do in the palace, so I will go back to the palace first, and the eldest lady doesn't have to send it. If the palace returns home next time, the eldest mother will be notified first, lest the eldest lady have to send someone to watch, which is really troublesome. ”
"Mother, this-" The eldest lady's face suddenly darkened.
"Isn't that what the eldest lady meant before?"
"Niangniang, the concubine has no such intention."
"Oh? Could it be that the eldest lady is not interested in the whereabouts of this palace? "Tao Yaoyao came closer.
"Mother."
"Jasper, let's go." Tao Xiaoxiao just glanced at her and left without looking back.
"Congratulations to Concubine Peach."
When Tao Yao was far away, the doctor got up and looked at the direction she was walking for a long time.
"Madam, there seems to be something different about this Tao Yao'er." A maid beside her said.
"......" The eldest lady didn't speak, but her heart was like a turbulent river and sea, this peach has always been timid and cowardly, she thought that even if she became a concubine, it was just because of a face, but she didn't expect today's words to be unpredictable, is she really amnesia or fake amnesia?!
"Biyun, you didn't even see the expression of the eldest lady just now!"
"......" Biyun felt that she had missed another good show, why was she always the one who was hurt.
"But Niangniang, such a-for-tat, will the eldest lady-"
"I'm afraid she won't, since there are no clues, we have to create clues!" Tao Yaoyao said firmly.
At this moment, her expression of contempt suddenly softened, not because of someone else, but because she saw the man standing in her courtyard.
"Nightburn—"
