Lu Jiuyuan pressed his eyebrows with a long finger, "I didn't provoke her." ”

This Tao Yaoxin is completely wishful thinking on the part of the eldest princess Zhaole.

But the eldest princess of Zhaole has no self-knowledge, like a dog skin plaster, and she can't shake it off.

"Although she is indeed quite annoying, the reasons you said earlier are not enough to show that the matter of Queqiao is what she did." Lu Jiuyuan diverted the topic.

Tao Yao nodded, "Of course." But I heard Wu Ze say before that you will come to Linzhou, it was decided by him and a group of guards temporarily, because at that time, the injuries on your body were not healed, and it would be more appropriate to take the waterway, and the eldest princess of Zhaole came to Linzhou with you.

But after we stayed in the Nie family's courtyard, she never left, nor did she appear, but when we were about to leave Linzhou, she also had to leave, which shows that she knows our whereabouts very well, and it also shows that she is not dead set on you.

And with what she did before, she didn't leave, but she was able to hold on, and she didn't come to you again, which means that she has something very important to do.

The last time she came to look for me in the Nie family's courtyard, it was very unpleasant, and I think that at that time, she had murderous intentions towards me.

That's why I think that the incident of Queqiao that day was arranged by her. ”

"Your analysis is quite reasonable, but why do you think that accident was not aimed at me?" Lu Jiuyuan asked.

"At first, I thought that incident was for you, but when I met Zhaole on the dock yesterday, I didn't think so.

Because if the Magpie Bridge incident is coming at you, I don't think they need to create that accident, because there are too many uncertain factors.

Moreover, you went to Magpie Bridge because of me, and before that, how could they conclude that you would go? If you don't go, won't they lose all their efforts?

If their target is you, they can assassinate you somewhere else, just like the assassination in the capital.

Doing things on the Magpie Bridge and creating accidents, not to mention a lot of trouble, there are still too many uncertainties. ”

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, a trace of appreciation crossed his dark eyes, "You're right, but you said that the matter of Queqiao was arranged by Princess Zhaole, so how did she know that you would definitely go to Queqiao to arrange an accident?" ”

Tao Yao frowned and said, "It must have been when I ran out to buy a concentric lock that day, and I was bumped into by her." ”

Lu Jiuyuan nodded, "If that's the case, it's indeed reasonable." ”

Tao Yao sighed, "It's a pity that this is just my guess, and there is no evidence to prove it." ”

"Evidence, evidence may be there soon." Lu Jiuyuan said suddenly.

"What?" Tao Yao was surprised.

Lu Jiuyuan hooked his lips and smiled, but did not answer.

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment, but soon, she thought of something, and her beautiful eyes widened, "Wu Ze was deliberately sent to the eldest princess by you?" Also, I found out that Cheng Wu didn't go with us, is he ......?"

"I asked him to stay in Linzhou to collect evidence." Lu Jiuyuan did not deny it, "As for Wu Ze, he will act when he sees the opportunity, if the matter of Queqiao is really done by the eldest princess, there will definitely be flaws." ”

Hearing this, Tao Yao pursed his lips, "So, you actually suspected the eldest princess of Zhaole long before me, but you deliberately made a puzzled appearance." ”

"Because I'm just suspicious." Lu Jiuyuan explained.

"yes, we don't have any proof of that." Tao Yao nodded, and then asked, "Then if it is really the eldest princess of Zhaole who did it, what can we do?" ”

Lu Jiuyuan said lightly: "I will present the evidence to the emperor and let the emperor decide." ”

"The eldest princess is also a royal person, the emperor may not deal with her, and there were no casualties that day." Tao Yao had some concerns.

"There were no casualties, but she behaved badly, she didn't care about human life at all, and what if the Magpie Bridge didn't give everyone time to buffer that day, it would be broken all of a sudden?" When Lu Jiuyuan said this, a cold cold swept through his eyes.

Tao Yao was silent.

Yes, if the Magpie Bridge had not been supported that day, it would have broken all of a sudden, or if Lu Jiuyuan and his guards had not been evacuated in time, the consequences would have been very tragic, and there were so many people on the bridge, including her and Lu Jiuyuan, who would have died at the bottom of the cliff.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao felt afraid.

"If I find evidence to prove that it was indeed her, I will present the evidence to the emperor, if the emperor doesn't deal with it......" Lu Jiuyuan paused, his eyes swept over Sen Liang, then he could only overstep his responsibilities and seek justice for the people of Linzhou.

Although he didn't finish his words, Tao Yao vaguely understood what he meant.

"Hmm." She nodded.

……

Half a month later, the group arrived in the capital.

Outside the city gate, after Tao Yao and Tao Qian and his party said goodbye, they took a carriage back to the Lu Guogong Mansion with Lu Jiuyuan.

In fact, she had only been away for more than a month, but when Tao Yao came out of the carriage and stood in front of the Duke of Lu's mansion, she had a lot of emotion in her heart.

"Put it on, don't catch a cold." Lu Jiuyuan stood behind her and wrapped a cloak around her.

Tao Yao came back to his senses, gathered the cloak on his body, looked back at him, and said with crooked eyebrows: "We are going home." ”

Lu Jiuyuan hooked his lips and held her hand, "Well, go home." ”

The two held hands and walked towards the door of the house.

At this moment, a small figure rushed out of the door.

"Uncle Nine, Aunt Nine, why did you come back? I waited until my hair turned gray. ”

Such an exaggerated voice must be Lu Hao.

Tao Yao looked up and saw Lu Xiaohao running towards her in a hurry.

Seeing that he was about to rush into her arms, Lu Jiuyuan quickly grabbed the collar.

Facing his ninth uncle's eyes without a smile, Lu Hao's face stiffened and he shrunk his neck, "I know it's wrong." ”

Lu Jiuyuan was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

Tao Yao was also confused, and didn't understand why this kid suddenly recognized his mistake.

"Uncle Nine is so nervous, he must want to protect the sister in Aunt Nine's belly, don't worry, I will never be so reckless next time." Lu Hao patted his little chest and said earnestly.

Tao Yao: "......"

When Lu Jiuyuan heard this, he subconsciously glanced at her stomach, and when he reacted, he immediately straightened his face and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about? ”

Lu Hao frowned and said, "That's right, what is in Aunt Jiu's belly is not necessarily a younger sister, but it may also be a younger brother." But I still like my sister more, and I really hope that Aunt Nine will give me a sister. ”

Lu Jiuyuan: "......"

Tao Yao: "......"

Both of them were made out of temper by this little guy.

Tao Yao was about to clarify, when Mrs. Lu's anxious voice sounded, "Lao Jiu, since she is pregnant, hurry up and help her go back to rest, why are you still stunned?" ”

As she spoke, the old lady walked up to the two of them with the support of Mama Lan, looking at Tao Yao lovingly.

Tao Yao: "......"
