"What?" Tao Ling was stunned.

"What you just said to Master Gu." Tao Yao reminded.

Tao Ling was stunned, lowered his head, wrung the handkerchief in his hand and said, "I, I'm really not worthy." ”

Tao Yao wanted to say something, but Tao Ling hurriedly got up and said, "Their hot water should be ready, I'll go bathe first." ”

Tao Yao nodded, "Okay." ”

Tao Ling quickly went to the clean room.

Tao Yao knew that she was afraid that she had not yet crossed that hurdle.

But it's impossible for anyone to have that happen.

In addition, the second sister is a well-behaved boudoir lady, although the other party did not succeed, but the second sister definitely can't mind in her heart.

She sighed, only hoping that the second sister would be stronger and forget about the incident.

In the clean room.

Tao Lingping withdrew from the maid who was waiting, and after taking off her dress, she stepped directly into the bathtub.

She grabbed the cotton towel and scrubbed her skin vigorously.

Especially on the neck, within a moment, she rubbed it red.

The tears that had been held back for a long time could no longer be contained, and large particles rolled down in the hot water.

She cried silently, which was heart-wrenching.

Tao Yao saw that she had been washing for a long time and had not come out, so she went over and knocked on the door, and said in a brisk tone: "Second sister, have you washed it?" Why haven't you come out yet, can't you be asleep? If you don't come out, I'll go in. ”

After a while, Tao Ling's voice came from inside, "I'll be out right away." ”

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but he kept standing by the door and didn't leave.

It didn't take long for Tao Ling to come out, and she didn't know if it was hot water that had been soaked for too long, and her face was very red.

When he saw that she was walking a little vainly, Tao Yao held her arm worriedly, "Second sister, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Tao Ling shook his head, "I'm just a little dizzy, maybe I've been soaking for too long." ”

When Tao Yao heard this, he reached out and touched her forehead uneasily, but found that her forehead was very hot.

"Second sister, you have a fever." She said very anxiously, then helped Tao Ling to the bed, and then asked someone to ask for a doctor.

Soon Tao Tian and Li were both shocked and came to see Tao Ling.

"Why did you start the fever?" Li sat on the edge of the bed and probed Tao Ling's forehead with a worried expression.

Tao Lingqiang smiled and said: "Maybe it's raining today, don't worry about it." ”

Not long after, the doctor arrived, checked Tao Ling's pulse, and prescribed medicine.

After Tao Ling drank the medicine, he lay down and fell asleep.

Li Shi held Tao Yao's hand and said: "There is nothing to do here in Lingling, I will take care of her here, you haven't come back to live for a long time, go and accompany your father." ”

Tao Yao saw that Tao Ling had already slept, and he couldn't do anything if he stayed by himself.

Looking at the loving Li family, she hesitated for a moment, but finally did not tell her what happened in the backyard of Yipinlou during the day.

She knows Tao Ling, and she doesn't want her family to worry about it when she finds out.

She nodded, "Okay." ”

……

Besides, when Gu Changqing sent Lu Hao back to the Lu Guo Mansion, Lu Jiuyuan also happened to come back.

After getting out of the carriage, Gu Changqing said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law said that she hasn't lived in Tao's house for a long time, and she will stay at Tao's house tonight." ”

"Got it." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

Lu Hao pulled his sleeve and said, "Uncle Jiu, has Heng'er gone back?" ”

"Well, go back." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

When Lu Hao heard this, he sighed and said, "I suddenly feel a little unaccustomed." ”

Gu Changqing said funny: "Didn't you say that you wished he would go back quickly?" ”

Lu Hao said with a depressed face: "I don't know when I will be able to see Heng'er again?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll see you again, maybe Heng'er will come to play with you tomorrow." Gu Changqing touched his head soothingly, then looked at Lu Jiuyuan, "How many games of chess to play?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him and nodded, "Hmm." ”

When Lu Hao heard that they were going to play chess, he immediately ran away without interest.

Gu Changqing followed Lu Jiuyuan to the study.

"What's the takeaway today?" Lu Jiuyuan put down a chess piece and asked.

Gu Changqing was a little frustrated, "I thought I had taken a step forward, but it turned out to be back to the original point." ”

"Want to give up?" Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him.

"Of course not." Gu Changqing immediately shook his head, "After so many years, I finally met a good girl, how could I retreat?"

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be able to make a brother-in-law with you. ”

The corners of Lu Jiuyuan's eyes twitched, "Don't be too confident." ”

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about the little prince Heng'er, what's going on?" Gu Changqing asked.

Lu Jiuyuan said lightly: "I only learned today that the emperor actually raised a woman outside, and that child has always been raised outside the palace." ”

Gu Changqing was a little stunned, and immediately laughed, "Why did the emperor do this?" ”

The emperor is the master of the world, no one dares to say a word about how many women he wants, but the emperor has learned from ordinary men and raised an outer room outside, which is really incomprehensible.

The key is that the woman should be very popular, otherwise the emperor would not be able to spoil the child so much.

"Perhaps...... It's to protect the woman. Lu Jiuyuan frowned.

Gu Changqing shook his head, "This is interesting, several princes fought for their heads, and in the end, they may be defeated by a yellow-mouthed child."

By the way, why did that kid appear outside your house by such coincidence? ”

Lu Jiuyuan's action paused, and then fell without hesitation, "This matter, naturally, cannot be accidental." ”

"You mean to say that all this was arranged by someone with a heart?" Gu Changqing was taken aback.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at him, "Otherwise, what do you think?" ”

Gu Changqing was stunned, his white son had been surrounded.

He sighed, "I lost again." ”

"Isn't that the norm?" Lu Jiuyuan said disappreciatively.

Gu Changqing: "......"

He simply stretched out his hand to stir up the chessboard, and asked with interest: "What is the purpose of the person behind the scenes?" If it is deliberate, does it mean that you want the little prince Heng'er to get close to you, so that you can win you over and let you support the little prince Heng'er? ”

Lu Jiuyuan did not speak.

Gu Changqing said to himself: "After all, you are now the object of the princes vying for wooing, but you have not expressed your position, which has caused all parties to make constant moves."

But who will be the person behind this little prince? ”

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Jiuyuan, "Could it be...... Your Majesty, right? ”

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "It can't be the emperor." ”

"That's ......"

"We should find out in a few days." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Palace.

After the emperor brought back Heng'er, he immediately asked people to pick up Rong Niang into the palace.

The moment Rong Niang came out of the sedan chair, the palace people were stunned.

It's beautiful......

She ignored the gaze of others and hurried into the emperor's bedroom.

The moment she saw Heng'er, her tears "snapped" down, rushed forward, and hugged him tightly in her arms.

"Heng'er ......"

Heng'er was eating, and was suddenly held in her arms, almost out of breath, "Mother, mother......"

Seeing that he blushed, the emperor hurriedly held Rong Niang's shoulders and persuaded gently: "I know you are excited, but Heng'er is going to be out of breath." ”

Rong Niang was startled, hurriedly let go of Heng'er, and looked him up and down.

Seeing that he was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You kid, why did you run around that day, it made me worry about ......"

Heng'er took the pastry and fed it to her mouth flatteringly, "Heng'er knows that she is wrong, and her mother forgives the child......"
