009 Speculation on Divine Will
A cold light flashed, and the man had already let go of the clamp on Tao Wanyan. And a long knife mark appeared on the back of his hand, and blood rushed to come out.
The Seventh Prince didn't care about the knife wound on his hand, but his eyes fell on the sachet that fell with Tao Wanyan when he took out the dagger. His eyes were suddenly shocked, his eyes were slightly closed, and a trace of consternation appeared on his face, which had been expressionless.
"Landlord, landlord." The conflict between the two was broken by the sound of the evening smoke coming from the pear blossom building.
The Seventh Prince looked at the woman standing aside, holding the dagger in his hand, looking at him defensively. His eyes couldn't help but tighten, and the voice slowly came out again.
"Remember the Yangmo Building. Today's events are first recorded in the accounts. When the pear girl is solved, the king will cross it out. ”
Anyway. The Seventh Prince turned around and took a few leaps away from Tao Wanyan's sight. It was also at this time that Mu Xia and Zui Xia, who came to find her, also discovered her at the same time.
"Landlord." Drunk Xia and Mu Xia spoke at the same time, and Tao Wanyan, who had been frightened, sat on the ground suddenly when she heard their voices, and the panic in her eyes couldn't go away for a long time.
Why did every meeting with the Seven Princes make Tao Wanyan feel scared and frightened? It's as if he was her deadly death hole.
The imperial capital of Westview City
Tao Wanyan has thought about her identity countless times, but she never thought that her identity would be so outstanding, but it was also so pathetic.
Tao Wanyan, the granddaughter of Tao Ling, the general of the protector of the country. The exact same name surprised even herself. It's just that Tao Wanyan's fate is much worse than her.
Eighteen years ago, a pair of twins were born in the Protector General's Mansion. That night, the originally dark sky suddenly brightened, and a colorful auspicious cloud hovered in the Protector General's Mansion for a long time.
That night, the son of the general who protected the country died of a sudden illness at the border pass, and his daughter-in-law also died suddenly after giving birth to twins. Less than a quarter of an hour later, only one of the two twins remained, and the other was missing.
It is because of this series of changes that have come to pass. Tao Wanyan, the granddaughter of the protector general, is regarded as a nightmare, and even the subordinates in the palace are unwilling to get close to this Miss Sun. Only the general who protects the country, loves her with great love, and gives her everything in learning and kung fu.
Therefore, even in the Tao Mansion, those subordinates respected her. But that's okay, the less Tao Wanyan has contact with them, the more difficult it is for her to show her stuff if she is not the real Tao Wanyan.
As for the scar on her face......
Tao Wanyan's heart sank, but she didn't know how to express her feelings.
"Miss, why are you still here? Go to the front room. Someone has come to the palace. ”
Inside the palace? Palace?
When Tao Wanyan was still stunned and didn't know how to react, she was already dragged by her personal maid and ran to the front hall.
"Ning Yue, slow down." Tao Wanyan ran forward with Ning Yue's pace, and shouted loudly.
Before he could react to what was happening, he was scolded by Tao Ling's deep voice, "What are you doing?" Nothing big or small. ”
Tao Wanyan This is the third time he has seen Tao Ling, although he is very fierce, but he is really too good to say anything to Tao Wanyan. Now he suddenly yelled at her, which overwhelmed her.
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face hidden under the veil, and his bright eyes were full of confusion.
The person sitting next to Tao Ling suddenly smiled, and the sissy tone made Tao Wanyan goosebumps all over her body, and her eyes naturally fell on him. I couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that this was the legendary father-in-law.
Tao Wanyan trembled the corners of her mouth, trying her best to hide her imminent smile.
"General Tao is blessed, I haven't seen her in the past few years, but Miss Tao has become more and more outstanding. really responded to the emperor's words. At the banquet tomorrow night, Miss Tao's marriage may also be decided. ”
Marriage?
Tao Wanyan's eyes widened in surprise. What do he mean by that?
Tao Wanyan didn't understand the meaning of Gonggong Zhang's words at all, but Tao Ling spoke first, "The emperor's meaning is not something you and I can guess. The fate of the late girl in the future has to rely on herself. ”
"General Tao, don't worry, the emperor likes Miss Tao very much, so he will naturally arrange everything for Miss Tao. This majesty's meaning has been brought to our family. It's not too early. Our family will retire first. ”
What is this?
Tao Wanyan was stunned and looked at the two people in the front hall who were talking to me. The feeling in my heart is indescribable. In these three words, her lifelong happiness has been finalized?
How does this work?
She doesn't want it!
"Grandpa......" Tao Wanyan held Tao Ling's hand dissatisfiedly, "What did you say just now...... Do you want to be my granddaughter? ”
Tao Ling listened to Tao Wanyan's words, and a trace of worry couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
"Late, grandpa can't accompany you for a lifetime."
Tao Ling's words were very light, but with an absolute meaning in them, "You have a good home, I can rest assured." ”
Tao Wanyan knew that before she entered this body, the original Tao Wanyan had rejected the marriage arranged for her by Tao Ling countless times.
In this era, if a woman still doesn't marry after eighteen, she will be laughed at. What's more, what about Miss Sun from the General's Mansion? Holding Tao Ling's hand and retracting it suddenly, Tao Wanyan changed to a relaxed expression, "Grandpa, I can't bear you." ”
Tao Wanyan's words caused Tao Ling's laughter, and her wrinkled face was slowly covered with a sense of gratifying satisfaction, "When did our family become so sensible?" ”
"I've always been sensible, okay?" Tao Wanyan pretended to answer easily, but her heart was like pressing a stone in a thousand catties, and she couldn't relax at all.
She didn't want to get married.
This is the heaviest and truest thought in her heart.
"Master, General Rong is here." Before the butler's words were finished, the General Rong in his mouth had already walked in by himself. The face looked anxious.
When he saw Tao Ling, he became more and more anxious, and after saluting with his hands in fists, he didn't care about others, and said directly, "General, the prince is ......."
Before Yi Chu's words were finished, Tao Ling had already raised his hand and signaled him not to say any more. Then he turned his head and looked at Tao Wanyan with a kind face, "Night girl, you go back first." Grandpa will come back to you later. ”
But Tao Wanyan had already heard the word prince, how could she stop there? Since the Acacia Festival, she has been thinking about Jingyang.
It's rare for anyone to mention it today, and she has to hear what she says.
So, Tao Wanyan once again tried to get Tao Ling not to drive her back by being coquettish. But before the words came out, Tao Ling was already looking at her with a straight face.
Although Tao Wanyan only stayed in this Tao Mansion for a few days, she completely understood Tao Ling's character. But whenever this expression appeared on his old man's face, Tao Wanyan had to stay away from him.
"Oh, good." Although Tao Wanyan agreed to this on her mouth, she would not be so obedient. Tao Wanyan snickered and deliberately walked to her yard dignifiedly.
But she didn't know that she already had her own idea in her heart.
