Chapter 70: The Broken Jade Pendant
Tao Tao changed back into a woman's outfit, and immediately felt much better.
It's not a man's body, but I have to pretend to be a man's body, but it's so tiring.
"What did you do when you secretly left the house today?" Xiao Zhi saw Tao Tao walking out from behind the screen, and immediately looked at her directly.
Tao Tao was stared at by Xiao Zhi's gaze, and she was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and it took a long time to react that it was wrong, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, why did she feel weak under Xiao Zhi's gaze?
"The prince asked this, as if I couldn't leave the house at will without your order." Tao Tao couldn't hold back for a moment when she thought about it, and glanced at Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi's face sank, "Do you think you're right?" ”
"What could I be wrong?" Tao Tao frowned puzzled, wasn't she just a woman pretending to be a man and going out of the house? What's wrong?
Xiao Zhi snorted coldly, "First, you shouldn't sneak out of the house disguised as a man, and second, you shouldn't go out of the house, but you don't do anything but go to Chunfeng Building to find a girl!" ”
"Tsk, I don't like to hear what the prince said." Tao Tao shook his head, "Did I say that I went to Chunfeng Building to find a girl without doing anything when I left the house?" ”
"You didn't say it, did you?"
"Lord Wang, your double standard is really enough, Chunfeng Building only allows you to go, I can't go?"
"You!" Xiao Zhi was angry, "If this king hadn't seen you enter the Chunfeng Building, it would have been impossible to follow up!" ”
Tao Taohu looked at Xiao Zhi from head to toe suspiciously, "Really? Why do I feel so untrustworthy? ”
"Chunfeng Lou is a well-known girl beauty in the whole of Shangjing, hasn't the prince really been there before?"
"Of course not, in the land of fireworks, this king seems to be the one who will go?" Xiao Zhi stared at Tao Tao with gloomy eyes, and for a moment he really wanted to strangle her.
Fortunately, in the end, they endured it, otherwise they would have died together.
"Tao Tao, if you don't give this king a reasonable explanation today, this king will not let you go!"
"Okay, okay, since you've asked for it, then I can't say it's okay?" Tao Tao was helpless, forget it, anyway, her mother's grave still needs to be moved out of the Tao family's ancestral grave by Xiao Zhi, and it doesn't hurt to tell him.
Thinking so, Tao Tao opened her mouth to start with her leaving the palace, emphasizing that after she got the evidence, others followed, and in order not to reveal her identity, she had to change her route into Chunfeng Building to avoid this stubble.
Xiao Zhi's frowning brows did not loosen, "Where is the evidence you said?" ”
When he saw Tao Tao in Chunfeng Building, she didn't have anything in her hand, where did the evidence come from?
"Don't think about it, you can fool this king!"
Tao Tao glared at Xiao Zhi angrily, "What I said is true, there is no need to lie to you." ”
"Since it's not necessary, then you can bring out the evidence." Xiao Zhi only believes that seeing is believing, and if he can't see her so-called evidence, he won't believe a word of what she says.
Of course, Tao Tao couldn't take out the evidence in the space in front of Xiao Zhi, so he had to say: "You wait, I put the evidence behind the screen when I changed my clothes, I'll go get it." ”
"Okay, this king is waiting." Xiao Zhi waved his hand and didn't stop it, after all, it was normal to take off important things first when changing clothes.
Tao Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly raised her feet and walked behind the screen, because she needed to find it, she deliberately stayed behind the screen for a few more minutes before taking out the wooden box from the space and then walking out of the screen.
"I haven't had a chance to open this wooden box to see its contents since it got into my hands." Tao Tao stretched out his hand and handed the wooden box in front of Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi felt that this wooden box was a little familiar at first sight, he subconsciously raised his hand to take it, and then moved on the wooden box according to the opening method in his memory, and it didn't take long to hear a 'click', and the wooden box opened a crack.
"Huh? Do you know how this wooden box is opened? Tao Tao was surprised, she originally saw that the wooden box was integrated, and wanted to find time to study what should be done to open the wooden box.
As a result, I didn't expect that the wooden box had not been in Xiao Zhi's hand for more than a minute, and it was easily opened by Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi opened the wooden box wider, looked at the box, and replied to Tao Tao: "This king has seen this thing, and it is not strange that he will open it." ”
After the box was completely opened, there was a pure white handkerchief wrapped in a piece of something, and the shape should be a jade pendant or something.
Before Xiao Zhi could take out the things in the box and take a closer look, he stretched out a hand in front of him and took the lead in taking out the things in the box.
The handkerchief is an ordinary material, and the important thing should be what is wrapped in the handkerchief.
Tao Tao pursed her lips and uncovered the handkerchief, and suddenly a broken jade pendant appeared in her sight, causing her pupils to dilate a little instantly.
"I also have a similar piece of jade pendant, but since I was put on the Zhuangzi, that jade pendant has been taken back by my father."
"To be more precise, every child of the Tao family will have such a jade pendant in his hand."
Xiao Zhi glanced at Tao Tao, "What kind of evidence can a mere piece of jade pendant be?" ”
"Of course!" Tao Tao clenched the handkerchief in his hand excitedly, "The jade pendant that my father has been following, he said he lost it, so the jade pendant he has now is actually remade." ”
"My mother was accidentally burned to death by the fire when she was walking on the water, if my father was with my mother at the time, then can I think that he used some means to make my mother unable to resist, and can only watch myself being engulfed by the fire?"
Xiao Zhi's brows furrowed a little tighter, "Who gave it to you here?" ”
"My mother's nurse, she didn't die, she just faked her death to escape my father's poisonous hands, and I went out today to find her." Tao Tao blurted out, and only after finishing speaking did he suddenly startle and realize that something was wrong.
How could she be so relieved by Xiao Zhi and tell the matter unreservedly? This is not scientific!
Xiao Zhi's eyes quickly flashed a dark light, and asked, "Since that's the case, then what are you going to do now?" ”
"It's not my plan, it's the prince's plan." Tao Tao couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to, and without saying a word, he stuffed half of the jade pei in his hand to Xiao Zhi.
"I'm just a little pitiful little who is not favored, what to do about this matter, of course, it is fully up to the prince."
Xiao Zhile was happy, "You are quite good at throwing the pot!" ”
"I don't like to listen to what the prince says, isn't that a capable person working hard? Besides, you promised me, prince, that you will administer justice to me. "Tao Tao is not false at all.
Anyway, Xiao Zhi promised herself, and now she has even found a breakthrough for Xiao Zhi, if Xiao Zhi still drags on and does not act, it will be unkind.
"Okay, you are justified in this matter, but what about the girl you brought back from Chunfeng Building?" Xiao Zhi looked like 'I see how you quibble, I'll listen to you'.
