Tao Yaoyao happened to see this scene when she came over, and after her eyes wandered around Xie Fei and Xie Lan twice, Xie Lan found her.

Xie Lan teleported in front of her, then grabbed her neck and asked in an extremely deep voice, "Why are you here?" ”

The sudden feeling of suffocation made Tao Yaoyao's whole person uncomfortable, she subconsciously pulled his sleeve, Xie Lan sensed that something was wrong with her, let go of her hand, and took two steps back.

But his expression was still solemn.

"Xie Lan, you're crazy, I just saw you sneaking here, I want to see what you're doing, are you going to kill me as soon as you make a move?"

After regaining his freedom, Tao Yaoyao held on to the pillar and coughed for a while before his face improved.

At this time, Xie Fei walked over, "What did you hear?" ”

Xie Fei's eyes were like a cold poisonous snake, but at a glance it made people retreat, and Tao Yao hid behind Xie Lan in fright.

"To be honest, otherwise Young Master Ben will pull out your skin and make a human skin lantern."

Tao Yaoyao's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of the human skin lantern in the TV series, and then she was even more scared, "Everything that should be heard has been heard." Xie Fei, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to harm me. ”

She racked her brains and thought about it for so long, but she didn't expect that it was him who killed her.

Through the conversation between the two of them just now, she found out that this Xie Fei was a crazy critic, just because she had looked for him, so he used this way to harm her.

If Xie Lan hadn't taken her away that day, and she had told her the purpose of approaching him, would she really be a human skin lantern now?

Fortunately, Xie Lan appeared that day.

Fortunately, she listened to persuasion.

"Why?" Xie Fei sneered, "Young Master Ben wants to kill someone, but he still needs a reason?" ”

"The Xie family is a scholarly family, and you are also a model for scholars in the world, how many people regard you as a role model, but you ......"

"Shut up." Xie Fei interrupted her, his eyes staring at her like thunder and lightning, "Don't go to the Xie family in front of me, and if you don't want to be Young Master Ben's plaything next time, stay away from Young Master Ben in the future."

Otherwise, even if he protects you, Young Master Ben will not show mercy to his subordinates. After all, what kind of pity and cherishing jade is nonsense here in this son. ”

Xie Fei was still threatening Tao Yaoyao like a demon one second, and the next second he returned to the elegant son that everyone admired.

With such contrasting personalities, he actually switched freely, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes now, I'm afraid she wouldn't believe that anyone could do this.

"Why did he ...... It's going to be like this. ”

Tao Yaoyao pulled Xie Lan's sleeve and asked.

Xie Lan glanced at her hand, and was about to tear it open, when his chest suddenly seemed to be corroded by ten thousand insects and ants, and the pain made him almost lose his temper.

"Chang Gung."

After Chang Geng found out that something was wrong with him, he hurriedly went over to help him, "Master, how do you feel, you wait for your subordinates to find you a doctor." ”

Xie Lan grabbed his hand, and when Chang Geng was in a hurry, Tao Yaoyao walked over and took Xie Lan's hand.

Chang Geng was so anxious just now that he forgot that Tao Yaoyao knew how to heal, so he hurriedly said, "Miss Tao, please save my son-in-law, my son-in-law has become like this because of your ......."

"Shut up." Xie Lan glared at him, and Chang Geng reluctantly shut up.

"Ten thousand corpses?"

Ten thousand corpses, as the name suggests, is a poison made from the corpses of ten thousand animals, this poison has a perverted characteristic, that is, it will not kill people, but it can make a person's life worse than death.

How much Xie Fei hated Xie Lan to give him such poison.

"There is no antidote to this poison." Tao Yaoyao took out a porcelain bottle from his waist and handed it to him, "This medicine can only relieve your pain, but I see that you have eaten so happily just now, and I don't care about this pain." ”

Waiting for Xie Lan to take the pill, Tao Yaoyao got up and was about to leave, and when he turned around to leave, he thought of something, turned his head and looked at him meaningfully, "You helped me because of my grandfather?" ”

Xie Lan was very weak at this time, he didn't even have the strength to sit on the stool, and when Chang Geng saw it, he hurriedly supported him with his body.

After taking the medicine, the pain in his body subsided, and he slowly nodded, "Yes." ”

Although he had already guessed the answer, when he nodded without hesitation, Tao Yaoyao was still a little sad in his heart.

She didn't know why she was sad, maybe she regarded him as a friend, and he only regarded her as a benefactor's granddaughter.

"You can see that I'm not as weak as you think, and I can protect myself. So from now on, I won't bother the prince. ”

Before Tao Yaoyao left, he threw the bottle of medicine to Chang Geng, "Ten thousand corpses can't be dissolved, every time he gets sick, you can give him this pill." ”

Miluo Hall side room

Several sisters of the Tao family were anxiously waiting for her, and when they saw her coming back, they hurriedly ran forward, "Eldest sister, where have you been, why did you come back." The people around Wang Meiren have come to look for you several times. ”

Count the hours, and the feast will begin.

Tao Yaoyao took them to the main hall together, and at this time the ladies of each family arrived, and when she brought in a few concubines of the Tao family, everyone looked at them.

Tao Yanyan had seen such a scene, so he didn't feel any nervousness, and the other three concubines were not as comfortable as them.

Fortunately, Tao Yaoyao reminded them before coming in, plus they are all ambitious, even for their own sake, they must also hold this pass.

After sitting down safely, the people around Wang Meiren came over again.

"Miss Tao, my mother is invited."

Tao Yaoyao followed the palace maid to the next room, Wang Meiren was dressed in gorgeous clothes, rich and feminine, sitting at the table, seeing her come in, she smiled and beckoned to her.

"I heard about the matter by the pond just now, and I made you feel wronged."

"It's just a little trick made by some people who can't be on the stage, but it makes the mother worry about it." Tao Yaoyao sat opposite Wang Meiren, saw that there was a pastry on the table, took a piece and tasted it.

"It is said that the things in the beauty house taste good, and after tasting it today, it is really unforgettable."

Wang Meiren was very happy to be complimented by her, and her tone of voice was much slower than just now, "It's just a few pieces of dim sum, if you like it, I'll ask your subordinates to pretend to be some for you when you leave the palace." ”

"Then let the mother break the bank."

After a brief greeting between the two, Wang Meiren finally got to the point, "What are your plans after you divorce the third prince?" ”

Tao Yaoyao raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Meiren, she didn't think that the life-saving grace of that day would make Wang Meiren treat her as her own, but she really couldn't guess why Wang Meiren suddenly asked like this.

So he said tentatively, "Marriage has always been the order of parents, and the matchmaker's words, how can I, a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, discuss this matter casually." ”

Seeing that she refused to tell the truth, Wang Meiren smiled and said, "The words that Miss Liu said when she was by the pond just now should not be groundless." ”

"Besides, if it were a woman from another house, this concubine would not say this to her, and this concubine could see that you were different from other women, you were very thoughtful, and you would not obey anyone.

This can be seen from the fact that you broke off the marriage contract with the third prince and the concubine.

So I don't believe you're willing to jump from one fire pit to another. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Intuition told her that Wang Meiren knew something, and then she remembered Ruyang Hou's advice that day, could it be ......

"Niangniang might as well have something to say, the courtiers are stupid, and they really can't guess what happened."

Wang Meiren had obviously already spoken to her lips, but she suddenly changed her mind a second before she spoke, which made Tao Yaoyao more and more uneasy.

After the drill began, everyone was watching the show and chatting, but she was full of thoughts about everything that had just happened.

There is no way, she has no one to rely on in this world, if she wants not to be used by others and not be at the mercy of others, she can only take every step carefully.

However, there are some calculations that no matter how careful you are, you still can't avoid them in the end.

After three rounds of wine, the banquet came to an end, at this time Dongxue came to the hall with a restless expression, and then hurriedly went around Wang Meiren's side, she leaned around Wang Meiren and whispered a few words, Wang Meiren's face immediately changed.

Immediately afterward, the singing and dancing stopped, and the room fell silent.

Everyone looked at the throne in confusion, and the emperor didn't know what was going on, so he asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

Wang Meiren originally just looked solemn, but at the moment His Majesty asked, her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she leaned on His Majesty's arms and said angrily, "Your Majesty, just now Dongxue came over and told the concubine that the Pearl of the East China Sea that His Majesty rewarded the concubine the day before yesterday was lost. ”

Some time ago, Fanbang paid tribute to a number of things, the most valuable of which is this night pearl.

His Majesty got this thing and sent someone to Wang Meiren's residence as soon as possible, and Wang Meiren couldn't put it down, so she put it in the house, in addition to being a decoration, it can also be illuminated.

Who knew that it was just suddenly lost.

When everyone heard this, everyone was in danger, this was a gift from the emperor, if they couldn't find it, everyone they were here today would be suspects.

"Lord Xiao." His Majesty called Xiao Shuo, "You take someone to investigate, and you must find the thief." ”

Xiao Shuo received the order, and after he took people away, Tao Yaoyao didn't know if it was an illusion, she always felt that Dongxue had just glanced at her.

Just now she had someone catch Dongxue's brother, and now her eyes don't look like gratitude, but more like ......

Oops.

Tao Yaoyao thought of something, got up and was about to go to Miluo Palace, but was stopped by Wang Meiren, "Where is Miss Tao going?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the courtiers want to go out for convenience."

"Are you in a hurry?" Wang Meiren looked good for her, "At this time, everyone should sit in the main hall, lest something happen after going out, and then it will be unclear and there will be any misunderstanding, and everyone will not look good on the face." ”

What does Wang Meiren mean by this, she is suspecting that she took the Night Pearl.

Wait a minute, what Dongxue just said is that Wang Meiren's night pearl was just lost, and she and Wang Meiren left her dormitory almost one after the other before the banquet began.

That is, she is now the biggest suspect.

As soon as this speculation came out, the suspicions in Tao Yaoyao's heart could almost be concluded.

At this time, Xiao Shuo took someone to return and returned, "Back to Your Majesty, Wang Meiren, Xia Guan just led someone to search Niangniang's bedroom, and there is indeed no whereabouts of the Night Pearl."

The guests who came here today are all here, and Xia Guan wants to ask if they have seen this thing, and in addition, Xia Guan has already asked people to search the various guest houses, and there should be results soon. ”

The night pearl is a little big, it's not easy to hide, plus the things are lost at this time, everyone can't leave, and it's not easy to hide on their bodies, so it shouldn't be difficult to find.

However, when they came to the banquet, they were searched like thieves, and although everyone didn't say anything, their faces were not very good.

Seeing this, Wang Meiren said apologetically, "Concubine Ben didn't expect such a thing to happen, and please cooperate with one or two, and when she finds something, Concubine Ben will personally make amends to everyone." ”

Wang Meiren is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and they don't want to live before they let Wang Meiren make amends for their sins. They wanted to find their things now and leave the palace in peace.

"Miss Tao Er, everyone has been searched, you are not cooperating, but you are delaying everyone's time." When the palace maid came to search her body, Tao Yanyan said that she would not let anyone search her.

Lord Xiao came over to remind her.

Tao Yanyan reluctantly looked at Tao Yaoyao.

Tao Yaoyao looked inexplicable, "You see what I do, and you can do whatever you want." ”

Tao Yanyan was helpless, so she could only let people search, and the next second the palace maid searched for a box of rouge from her. When everyone saw this, they first wondered, "Who went out with rouge?" ”

Dongxue's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw that this thing was a thing in the palace.

"Miss Tao, you actually stole my master's rouge." Dongxue snatched the rouge, and then shouted, and everyone heard the words and looked at them one after another.

"When did the Tao family become so poor that they couldn't even afford a box of rouge, and they were still stealing things in the palace, the Tao family was really shameless."

"Who said it wasn't, the eldest girl of the Tao family, she was ashamed to find her husband, the second girl of the Tao family stole her mother's rouge behind her back, such a shameless thing, would normal people do it?"

"It's not that Master Tao dotes on this second girl very much, how can she still let her steal things."

"What do you know, no matter how favored she is, she is only a concubine, and I heard that some time ago, the eldest lady of the Tao family had already asked her mother's dowry back from the concubine.

That aunt had no money, and of course she couldn't buy good things for her daughter. ”

"You can't steal that. is still stealing things in the palace, fortunately it has been found now, otherwise we will all be embarrassed. ”

"Who's to say it isn't. Hey, let's see if you've lost something, maybe she's got a crush on something from us. ”

I don't know who said this, so everyone began to check their things, Tao Yanyan has lived for so many years, and he has never been so ashamed.

She immediately burst into tears, "I didn't steal. ”

"Then how can my master's rouge be on you." Dongxue asked Tao Yanyan rhetorically.

Tao Yanyan couldn't say a result for a long time, and when everyone saw this, they felt more and more that she was arguing with herself after the incident. Only Tao Yaoyao believed in her.

Tao Yanyan, although she is a concubine, but she is favored because of Aunt Zhao, and the original owner is cowardly and indisputable, but she has always regarded herself as a young lady all these years.

That is, she came and suppressed her, if it was the same as before, she would definitely not have reacted like this.

Sure enough, under the ridicule of everyone, she quickly became angry, "I said that I didn't steal anything, this thing was picked up by me in the gazebo in front, I saw that this box of rouge was new, and I felt that it was a pity to lose it, so I picked it up." ”

Seeing that no one believed her, she immediately pulled her maid over to testify.
