Chapter 177: Tao Yao has no strength
It seems that she guessed it.
That medicine is not an antidote, it should still be a poison.
If she drank it, her strength would not be able to recover at all, and she would only be trapped here like yesterday, unable to walk at all.
The effects of her medicine should be gone, and as long as she doesn't drink it anymore, she'll be fine.
Thinking of this, she resolutely went back to bed and continued to lie down.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qiu Xiang to come back and bring a lot of food.
"Mrs. Lu, the slave maid has brought you back with food." Qiu Xiang directly brought the food to the small table next to the bed.
"Thank you." Tao Yao answered, but did not move, even though she was hungry now.
Qiu Xiang said strangely, "Isn't Madame hungry?" Or do you want to be fed by a slave? ”
Hearing this, Tao Yao sat up, took a piece of pastry from the plate, broke it in half, and handed it to her, "You eat first." ”
Qiu Xiang was stunned for a moment, reacted, she hurriedly waved her hand, "How can the slave maid eat Madame's food?" ”
"What's this? There's no one here anyway, so you can eat it. Tao Yao looked at her with a smile, "Or is there something added to this pastry, and you don't dare to eat it?" ”
Qiu Xiang's heart sank, why is this Mrs. Lu so difficult to bluff?
She hesitated and stretched out her hand, "Thank you Mrs. Lu for that." ”
"You're welcome, I still expect you to take more care of me in this palace." Tao Yao said with a smile.
Qiu Xiang only felt that the pastry in her hand was like a hot potato.
But she couldn't help it.
Thinking, she brought the pastry to her mouth.
When the pastry was finished, she smiled and said, "Madam, you see, the slave has finished the pastry."
Are you worried that someone will tamper with the pastry? Now that I've eaten it, there's nothing wrong with it, you can eat it with confidence. ”
"Okay." Tao Yao nodded and took a bite of the pastry.
Seeing this, Qiu Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first." ”
"Hmm." The corners of Tao Yao's mouth hooked into a smile.
Although the other party covered it up well, she still heard that she was a little anxious.
Akika quickly stepped back.
As soon as she left, Tao Yao took out the handkerchief and spit out all the pastries in her mouth, until she vomited clean, and then poured all the pastries on the plate into the quilt.
She didn't drink the medicine, and Rong Niang definitely wouldn't give up.
Since she asked for food, it was just the right time to put the medicine into the food.
If her guess was correct, then Qiu Xiang had already taken effect at this time.
Somebody will serve her.
Since she has "eaten" so many pastries adulterated with medicine, now, the effect of the medicine should be about to be exerted.
She counted the hours, and when it was almost time for her to lie down, close her eyes, and pretend to be unconscious.
Sure enough, it wasn't long before she heard someone walk in.
“…… This is eating all the pastries. ”
An unfamiliar voice said.
Tao Yao pricked up his ears to listen to the movement.
At this time, someone sat down on the edge of the bed and tucked the quilt for her.
"I'm doing this, but I'm also forced to do it out of desperation, who called you ......"
When it came to the end, the man stopped talking and did not finish his sentence.
Tao Yao could hear that this was Rong Niang's voice.
She was sarcastic.
Drugged her out of helplessness?
I'm really going to excuse myself.
After sitting for a while, Rong Niang got up and said to the palace maid who came in, "Take good care." ”
"Yes." The palace maid answered.
Tao Yao lay down for a long time before he heard the sound of the palace maid opening the door and going out.
She breathed a sigh of relief, opened her eyes, and saw that the palace maid was missing from the house.
She couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise she would know that she hadn't eaten those pastries, and she would definitely find a way to feed her medicine again.
Thinking about it, she got up decisively, took a piece of the pastry from the quilt, and put it in her sleeve.
When she walked to the door, she listened to the movement outside and did not rush out.
She took a vase and hid by the door.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the palace maid to go and return.
The moment the door was pushed open, Tao Yao did not hesitate to smash the vase on her head.
The palace maid didn't expect that she, who was unconscious, would hide behind the door.
The vase hit her in the head, and she fell down.
After the palace maid fainted, Tao Yao immediately took off her dress, changed it to herself, and then put the dress she was wearing on her.
After dressing the maid, she dragged her to the bed with some effort and covered her with a quilt.
In this way, even if someone comes to see, it will not be so easy to find that she has run away.
As she left the room, she kicked the broken vase into the corner.
When she had done that, she went out of the house.
Xiyue Palace was very large, and Tao Yao took a lot of effort to go out.
Out of the Xiyue Palace, she walked in the direction of the east.
If she wants to leave the palace, I am afraid that she can only turn to the crown prince Qi Yan for help.
It's a pity that she doesn't know where the East Palace is, so she can only follow the direction.
In order not to attract the attention of others, she tries to choose the remote path as much as possible.
But she hadn't eaten for a long time, and although the effect of the medicine had long since passed, after walking for a while, she was a little weak.
What's worse is that when she passed by a pavilion, she actually saw Zhang Guifei and several concubines sitting inside.
When she wanted to go back, it was too late, and one of the concubines inside stopped her, "That maid come here." ”
Tao Yao stepped forward and prayed that Concubine Zhang would never recognize herself.
She lowered her head and stepped forward, knelt down in front of several concubines, and said in a voice: "What does Niangniang command?" ”
"You go to the imperial dining room and get some snacks." The concubine commanded.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Tao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and retreated, and exited the pavilion.
Out of the pavilion, she was just about to continue walking, but the concubine stopped her again, "The imperial dining room is over there, why are you so stupid?" Can't even tell the direction? ”
Tao Yao quickly glanced in the direction pointed by the concubine, and lowered her head again, "Niangniang is angry, and the maid will go." With that, she could only walk in the direction pointed by the concubine.
As soon as she left, the concubines who instructed her said, "Are all the current palace maids so stupid?" How can you be an errand in the palace like this? ”
Several other concubines laughed at her, "As long as you are kind-hearted, you still have this leisure heart to worry about the palace maid." ”
At this time, Concubine Zhang Guifei, who had not spoken, suddenly said, "That is not a palace maid." ”
Several concubines were stunned, "Not a palace maid?" ”
"If it's a palace maid, you won't even know which direction the imperial dining room is." Zhang Guifei said.
"Maybe it's a new palace maid who is not familiar with the palace." The concubine who spoke first hesitated.
"Let's send someone to follow and see." One of the concubines suggested.
Zhang Guifei nodded, and said to the palace maid beside her: "Go and see if that palace maid has gone to the imperial dining room." ”
"Yes." The palace maid answered, and quickly chased in the direction Tao Yao left.
After Tao Yao came out of the pavilion, he walked in the direction of the imperial dining room.
It wasn't until he was out of sight of those concubines that he walked in the direction of the East Palace again.
But she hadn't walked a few steps before she heard a female voice behind her scolding, "Who are you?" ”
