Tao Yao was disappointed that she couldn't find the portrait.

When he came out of Tao Qian's yard, he ran into Mrs. Li.

"Yaoyao?" Seeing her, Li was a little surprised, "When did you come back?"

"I just arrived." Tao Yao replied.

"But came to see your father? He went out today and is not here." Li Shi said.

Tao Yao nodded, "Well, I just found out."

After thinking for a while, she stepped forward and said, "Auntie, you and uncle also went to the palace banquet yesterday, do you think Imperial Concubine...does she look like me?"

Li Shi was taken aback, "Why do you ask like that?"

Tao Yao paused, and explained: "Many people told me that I look a lot like the imperial concubine, so I wanted to ask my aunt, my mother, if there are other sisters?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, held her hand and said, "When your mother was alive, I never heard that she had other sisters. Don't think too much about it. There are many people who look alike in this world." , which is nothing surprising."

Tao Yao paused, then nodded, "That's true, then I don't care. Auntie, I have to go to Chen Guogong's mansion, so I'm leaving first."

"Okay, let's go." Li Shi nodded lovingly.

After Tao Yao left, Li frowned.

But it's no wonder Yaoyao would ask like that, imperial concubine and Yaoyao really resemble each other, just like...a mother and daughter.

Li shi sighed in her heart, she hoped that Shen shi had really died back then, otherwise if the man in the palace was really Shen shi, how could this be called the third brother?How should Yaoyao face it?

But in this world, apart from twins, who would look exactly the same?As for Shen, she has no other sisters.

After Tao Yao left Tao Mansion, she got into the carriage and went to Chen Guogong's mansion.

On the way, she frowned.

She always felt that her aunt's reaction was too flat.

The aunt lived with her mother, so she naturally knew her mother's appearance, so she originally wanted to find the answer from her aunt, but her aunt's reaction was beyond her expectations.

Auntie didn't find it strange at all that she looked like the imperial concubine.

But even though there are indeed people who look alike in this world, her reaction is too plain, as if she is hiding something.

Because normal people shouldn't have that kind of reaction.

Could it be that aunt really hid something from her?
Tao Yao thought about it.

When he arrived at Duke Chen's mansion, Tao Yao found out that the Eldest Princess had even invited Princess Jingwen.

When she arrived, the Eldest Princess didn't know what she had said to Jing Wen, and Jing Wen showed a look of impatience.

When she saw Tao Yao, the word disgust was clearly written on Princess Jingwen's face.

Tao Yao didn't care, and went straight to salute the two of them.

The Eldest Princess hurriedly helped her up, "You don't need to be too polite, there are no outsiders here."

Hearing this, Princess Jingwen suddenly sneered, "Grandma Huang really doesn't treat other people as outsiders, but in fact, she is an outsider."

The eldest princess said angrily: "You go, don't make me angry here."

Jingwen stood up and said angrily: "You asked me to come, I don't want to come yet."

The eldest princess' complexion became ugly, and she said angrily: "OK, OK, I won't call you again next time, get out of here immediately!"

Jingwen snorted, "Let's go." When passing Tao Yao, she suddenly stopped and smiled strangely, "Do you know where Lu Guogong left the capital?"

Tao Yao frowned slightly, and said lightly, "Where did you go?"

Seeing her so plain, Jing Wen choked for a while, thought of something, and suddenly gloated and said: "Maybe, when Duke Lu comes back, you will become a concubine."

"Jingwen, shut up!" The eldest princess reprimanded angrily.

"What I'm talking about is the truth. If it wasn't for Duke Lu not wanting to be the Lord, how could the Tao family be where it is today?" After Jing Wen finished speaking, she raised her foot and left.

Tao Yao was confused.

What do you mean Duke Lu doesn't want to be the Lord?
As far as she knew, the current Holy Majesty only had one daughter, Jingwen.

With Jing Wen's temperament, Lu Jiuyuan naturally looked down on her.

But what Jingwen said, it seems that there is such a thing!

She frowned slightly.

"Yaoyao, don't listen to Jingwen's nonsense, things are not what she said." The eldest princess took her hand, sat down on the chair, and said softly.

Tao Yao came back to her senses, nodded, "Yeah."

Seeing this, the eldest princess was obviously relieved.

"My husband left Beijing this time, does the eldest princess know where he went?" Tao Yao asked instead.

The eldest princess thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Jiuyuan came out of Beijing to save a person. I only found out after asking the emperor last night."

"Who?" Tao Yao was curious.

"It's the emperor's only surviving younger sister, Princess Zhaole," said the eldest princess.

Tao Yao was taken aback.

Princess Zhaole?
"Is there any danger for the eldest princess?" She asked puzzled.

The eldest princess sighed, "The eldest princess Zhaole's fief is in the Yinshan Mountains in the frontier, but this time she was captured by the Khitan people for some reason.

The Khitan king sent a letter, asking the emperor to exchange two cities.

This is naturally impossible, but Zhao Le's life and death cannot be disregarded. After a decision, Jiu Yuan was sent to rescue Zhao Le. "

Tao Yao's heart sank when she heard the words, "Isn't it very dangerous to rescue my husband alone?"

The eldest princess was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Are you worried about Jiu Yuan?"

Tao Yao frowned and nodded, "Yes."

How could she not be worried?
Hearing that the Khitan people are cruel and cunning, it is too dangerous for Lu Jiuyuan to go alone.

"Don't worry, Jiu Yuan is very skilled, and he has sneaked into Khitan and explored it before. He is very familiar with Khitan's terrain. He will be fine." The princess reassured.

Tao Yao couldn't feel at ease.

No matter how powerful Lu Jiuyuan was, breaking into the enemy's camp alone would be a disaster...

"Jiuyuan probably didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would be worried." The eldest princess said, took the tea brought by the servants, and handed it to Tao Yao.

Tao Yao was not in the mood, she just took a sip and put it down.

"You're so worried, if I had known, I wouldn't have told you." The eldest princess felt a little regretful.

Tao Yao hurriedly said, "I'm very grateful for you telling me, otherwise I wouldn't know anything."

"But you don't know, it's a good thing, so don't worry about it." The Eldest Princess sighed, "Okay, don't think about it, just walk with me in the garden."

Tao Yao had no choice but to restrain her thoughts, stood up and followed behind her.

When I returned to Duke Lu's mansion in the afternoon, Dong'er just came back.

"Ma'am, the matter you asked this servant to investigate has come to fruition." Dong'er reported, and then took out a bottle from her sleeve.

"What is it?" Tao Yao cheered up and asked.

"The servant asked several doctors before finding out that what was mixed in the wine was a kind of acacia fragrance." Dong'er said solemnly.

When Tao Yao heard this, her face was covered with a haze.

Princess Jingwen is really vicious, she even put acacia incense in the wine, this is to make her look ugly in public.

If she drank that glass of wine last night, the consequences would be unimaginable!
The other party repeatedly made trouble for her. If she didn't reciprocate her, she would be too sorry for herself.
