Rong Qianhan took A-Yao to avoid the palace guards and forbidden troops and successfully infiltrated the palace, hiding behind a secluded rockery.

Very few people pass by here, and even the forbidden army patrolling the palace only passes here once an hour.

Looking at the forbidden army walking away, the two hid behind the rockery with peace of mind.

Rong Qianhan lowered his voice, turned his head to Ah Yao and said, "These forbidden troops have just left, and they are safe here for an hour. ”

"Hmm."

After a pause, Ah Yao continued: "Concubine Wan is very likely to be a person with strong martial arts, so we can't act rashly. ”

"How about starting with Li Tao?" Rong Qianhan asked.

Ah Yao weighed it carefully and nodded in agreement with Rong Qianhan's proposal.

"Li Tao's body is indeed very weak, compared to Concubine Wan's unpredictability, it is easier for him to break through."

"Then go to Li Tao's side first."

"Hmm."

After the two of them had discussed, they cautiously approached Li Tao's dormitory.

The palace in the middle of the night is not as quiet as before, the patrol of the forbidden army is constant, and the palace lights are always on, as if there is a guard.

Rong Qianhan and Ah Yao came to the outside of Li Tao's dormitory, and were just about to sneak into the room through the window when they heard a small sound of footsteps outside the door.

Someone's coming!

The two immediately went into hiding.

Someone raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Third brother, are you asleep?" ”

Ah Yao immediately heard that this voice was Li Lin's.

With so many things happening in the palace, Li Lin must have noticed something.

It's just that what is she doing here at this late hour?

A moment later, Li Tao's voice came out.

"Come in!"

Li Lin pushed open the door and groped her way to Li Tao's bed in the darkness.

"It's inconvenient to come to see you during the day, so I can only wait until the evening to see you." Li Lin explained.

"Hmm."

Li Tao's tone was cold, and there were not many mood swings.

Li Lin asked nervously, "Third brother, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine."

"It seems that a lot of things have happened in the palace recently, and the mother concubine seems to have changed as a person, the second brother and the fifth brother are gone, Concubine Jing has been missing in the Buddhist hall, and you can't go out because of illness, and the whole palace seems to be left with me, I'm a little overwhelmed."

"Linlin ......"

Li Lin raised her eyes, expecting what he was going to say next.

After waiting for a while, I only heard Li Tao speak quietly.

"Don't think about it."

"Is it really that I'm thinking too much?" Li Lin asked rhetorically.

Li Tao didn't answer.

"But why did I hear that Ah Yao had something to do outside the palace?"

Li Tao remained silent.

"Third brother, do you say that the mother concubine is ......?"

Li Tao interrupted her seriously, "Linlin, you can't speculate about the concubine at will. ”

"......"

"She is our mother, and no matter what she does, it is for our good."

"Is that really the case?"

Li Lin was a little dazed.

Although she grew up in the palace since she was a child, because there are fewer concubines in the harem and there are not many intrigues, it is already the limit to quarrel with Li Man.

Since A-Yao returned to Fengdu, there have been accidents in the palace one after another.

Concubine Xiao, Li Man, and Li Hao are gone, and when they thought that the palace was about to restore peace, the palace changed again.

She couldn't go in and out of the palace at will, and she couldn't go to see Ah Yao and Wei Ming.

Although the mother concubine said that it was to prevent her from meeting Wei Ming, she was actually trying to prevent her from leaving the palace and wanted to put her under house arrest in the palace.

For the first time, she couldn't understand Concubine Wan.

Li Tao got off the bed, slowly walked to Li Lin, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head.

"Don't think about it, stay in the palace in peace, and wait for this time."

Li Lin looked at him, "Third brother, is Ah Yao really the murderer?" ”

Li Tao frowned, "You know? ”

"Hmm."

Although it was something that happened outside the palace, there was no impermeable wall under the sky, and the news soon spread to the palace.

Of course, she also knew.

"Whether A-Yao is the murderer or not, the Criminal Department has its own conclusion, not for you and me."

"But ......"

Li Tao interrupted her again, "Okay, you can stay in the palace with peace of mind, and if you are really bored, you can come and chat with me." ”

"Alright then!"

"It's not too early, let's go back and rest!" Li Tao instructed.

"Hmm."

As soon as Li Lin walked out of Li Tao's room, she met Concubine Wan in the courtyard.

Seeing Li Lin, Concubine Wan's face immediately changed, "Why did you come here?" ”

"I can't sleep at night, I'll come to see the third brother."

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that your third brother is seriously ill, so you shouldn't come over to visit at will? You don't take your mother's words to heart at all? ”

"I ......"

Before Li Lin's explanation could be spoken, she was interrupted by Concubine Wan, "Don't say any more, go back to your own dormitory, don't come here again." ”

"The Mother ......"

"Let's go!"

Li Lin glanced at Concubine Wan with an aggrieved face, and finally left.

Seeing Li Lin walk away, Concubine Wan quickly entered Li Tao's room, and it was an accusation to split her head and cover her face.

"Have you forgotten what I told you?"

Li Tao bowed his head and said nothing.

"You can't meet with anyone, especially Linlin, if she finds out something, my years of planning will be in vain."

"Mother, are we really going to do this?" Li Tao asked.

Concubine Wan asked with a gloomy face: "Things have come to this point, do you think we can turn back?" ”

Li Tao was silent.

"You can rest assured! These are left to the concubine to deal with. ”

"The Mother ......"

"Rest in peace! The most important thing is to take care of your body. ”

Li Tao moved his lips and changed the words to his lips, "Linlin is careful and kind, simple-minded, I hope that the concubine will not mix her up." ”

"Don't worry! I'm not going to get Linlin involved. ”

"That's good."

"Rest early!" Concubine Wan instructed.

"Hmm."

Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan hid in the dark and listened to all this, and a doubt gradually arose in their hearts.

Concubine Wan did all this, what did she want to get, and what benefits did she have for herself?

Everyone in the entire southern Xinjiang knows that Li Tao has a strange disease, even if Concubine Wan wants to support Li Tao to ascend to the throne, there will inevitably be a lot of opposition from the DPRK and China, and it will be difficult for him to sit firmly on the throne.

It is easy to sit on the throne, but it is even more difficult to hold this throne.

The two were sure that Concubine Wan would not return, so they sneaked into Li Tao's room through the window.

Li Tao heard the movement of the window opening and closing, and turned around calmly, "You guys are here." ”

Ah Yao glanced at Rong Qianhan and said, "You know we're coming?" ”

"Sooner or later."

"You're not afraid?" Yao asked.

"What's so scary? At most, you will kill me, and then I will be free. Li Tao said with emotion.

Extrication!?

Is he really terminally ill and needs to die to be freed?

"Hopefully I can cure your illness, but death is not necessarily a relief." Ah Yao said.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Li Tao's mouth, and he shook his head and said, "Only death can free me." ”

Why did Li Tao insist on begging for death?

Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan were full of doubts in their hearts.

Li Tao sighed faintly: "I have been trapped for too long, and I am tired of such days. ”

"Then why don't you persuade Concubine Wan?" Rong Qianhan asked.

Li Tao smiled but did not speak.

Yao approached him.

"Stop! Stay back! Li Tao shouted to stop Ah Yao.

Ah Yao stood there and explained, "I don't mean anything else, I just want to see what kind of disease you have, maybe I can really help you." ”

"No need."

"My medical skills are very good, you can try it." Ah Yao persuaded.

Li Tao smiled and said, "Do you want to cure me and let me persuade my mother to stop?" ”

"Yes."

Ah Yao does not deny what she really thinks in her heart.

At present, Concubine Wan is close to madness, if Li Tao can come forward to dissuade Concubine Wan, things may have a chance to turn around.

"It's useless."

Ah Yao asked suspiciously: "She did all this for you, why is it useless?" ”

Li Tao sneered, "Who said she did this for me?" ”

Ah Yao and Rong Qianhan glanced at each other in the dark, and countless mysteries rose in their hearts again.

Could it be that Concubine Wan has other plans?

"Don't persuade me anymore, I won't stop my mother, but if you want to kill me, I will never fight back."

"That's how you want to die?"

"Hmm."

He's quite open-minded.

Ah Yao had no intention of killing him, she came to him to get the truth.

"Okay, then I'll fulfill you."

Ah Yao walked towards Li Tao.

This time, Li Tao did not stop her from approaching, and stood quietly in place waiting for death.

For a moment, Ah Yao stood in front of Li Tao, "Are you sure you don't regret it?" ”

"No regrets."

Li Tao replied with a smile.

It could be seen that he really wanted to die.

The more he wants to die like this, the less A-Yao will fulfill him.

"Then see you in the next life!"

Ah Yao raised her arm and swung her palm at him, and when she was about to get close to him, Ah Yao suddenly withdrew her hand and quickly clicked on Li Tao's acupoint.

Li Tao couldn't move for a moment.

"You ......"

Ah Yao smiled at him, "If you want to die so much, I naturally won't let you get your wish." ”

Li Tao's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I want to see what kind of illness you have."

"Don't touch me."

Li Tao was very resistant to her touch.

He would rather die than let her know what disease he had, which piqued her curiosity even more.

She quickly felt Li Tao's pulse and patiently checked the pulse.

In a moment, she withdrew her hand and felt the pulse of his other hand.

After a while, she withdrew her hand.

Rong Qianhan approached her, lowered his voice and asked, "How?" ”

He ...... The pulse is normal, and there is no illness at all. ”

"Not sick?"

Rong Qianhan's face was full of doubts.

Ah Yao also felt strange and asked Li Tao, "You are not sick at all, what's going on?" ”

Li Tao just smiled and didn't answer.

"The emperor also mentioned that the third prince is not sick, and it is Concubine Wan who is sick." Rong Qian said.

Ah Yao asked again: "Why did the third prince pretend to be sick?" Locked yourself in a dark room for so many years? ”

Li Tao has been suffering from a strange illness since he was a child, and he has never left the dark room since then, what happened to make a young child spend so many years in the dark room?

"Have you seen your father?"

Li Tao ignored their doubts and asked Rong Qianhan.

"This king has indeed seen the emperor."

"How did you meet your father?" Li Tao asked again.

"You better tell us first, why did you pretend to be sick and shut yourself in a dark room!" Rong Qian said.
