Wu Ze was overjoyed, "Thank you Ma'am."

Tao Yao laughed and said, "Don't be too busy expressing thanks, I haven't asked Mo Die yet, I don't know if she is willing or not."

Wu Ze said confidently, "Of course Mo Die is willing."

Tao Yao looked at her in surprise, "Why are you so sure, have you asked her?"

"Although I haven't asked her yet, my subordinates know." Wu Ze said.

Tao Yao was a little puzzled, she didn't understand why he was so confident?

Because they were going to find Lu Jiuyuan, the two didn't talk about it any more.

But when the two hired a carriage to drive to Chiyan Village, they unexpectedly met Mo Die who had turned back on the way.

Overjoyed, Wu Ze stopped the carriage and jumped down to stop her, "Mo Die!"

When Mo Die saw him, she hurriedly stopped her horse, "Why are you here?"

"Not only me, but also Madam." Wu Ze said, and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Tao Yao poked her head out, "Mo Die, have you caught up with the Duke? What's the situation in Chiyan Village?"

Seeing this, Mo Die quickly dismounted, "I caught up, but by the time we got there, Chiyan Village was already empty."

"What?" Tao Yao was stunned.

"There is no one in the village, Rong Niang has already taken people away." Mo Die replied.

"What about the Duke?" Tao Yao came back to his senses and asked.

"The Duke is still investigating in the village with people, but he should be back soon." Mo Die said.

Wu Ze said: "Madam, since this is the case, we don't have to rush there, let's go back to the town first."

Tao Yao nodded, "Alright."

The three returned to the town quickly.

Sure enough, not long after, Lu Jiuyuan also came back.

"Are you okay?" Tao Yao asked with concern.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, he held her shoulders and said, "Ma'am, are you not angry?"

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that the two were still angry, and suddenly, her face fell, and she snorted coldly, "Who said that? I'm still angry."

Lu Jiuyuan laughed lightly and said, "It's my fault, I made Madam feel wronged."

Tao Yao was not very angry at first, but when he saw that he admitted his mistake so well, a smile appeared on his face, but he deliberately took Qiao and said: "You know, if you do this next time, I will really ignore you. "

Lu Jiuyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Obviously this girl did something wrong, why did it end up being his fault?
But whatever, as long as she doesn't get mad.

He pinched her nose, "Then pack up and go back to Beijing."

Tao Yao nodded, "Yes."

In fact, she didn't have anything to clean up, and with the help of Mo Die, it was done quickly.

On the way back, Tao Yao and Lu Jiuyuan took a carriage.

In the carriage, Tao Yao was resting on his lap, and asked, "You're going to investigate Chiyan Village, what did you gain?"

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head, "I didn't see a single person."

Tao Yao wondered: "If I'm not mistaken, Rongniang has stockpiled soldiers and horses in Chiyan Village, why did she transfer them in just one day?"

"Although they moved quickly, they still left traces in their haste. I did find traces of soldiers and horses in Chiyan Village," Lu Jiuyuan said.

"So, my guess is correct, Rongniang is indeed in Chiyan Village, and has stockpiled soldiers and horses?" Tao Yao frowned.

"It should be." Lu Jiuyuan nodded, "Actually, not only Chiyan Village, but the Liuli Building is also a little strange?"

Tao Yao was surprised, "Why is it so strange?"

"I went there to look for you last night and saw an official." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Tao Yao was a little puzzled, "So what?"

"That official is not an ordinary official. He holds an important position in the court. He is usually honest and honest. He is a good official." Lu Jiuyuan said with downcast eyes.

Tao Yao vaguely understood something when she heard this, "You want to say that this official has one thing on the outside, but one thing on the other side, and he came to this place to have fun, probably because he was bribed?"

"Yeah." Lu Jiuyuan nodded with a serious expression, "And I suspect that there is more than one official."

"This small town is not far from Chiyan Village. Could it be that the Liuli Building is related to Rongniang?" Tao Yao thoughtfully.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at her appreciatively, "It coincides with what I thought."

"Really?" Tao Yao was surprised.

"I don't know yet, but I have asked Zhao Er to investigate." Lu Jiuyuan said.

It was only then that Tao Yao remembered that there was no Zhao Er on the return journey, so it turned out that Lu Jiuyuan had sent him to check Liulilou.

"If it's really related to Rongniang, what exactly is she trying to do?" She frowned.

"Should plan to oppose the imperial court." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Speaking of this, Tao Yao paused and sat up, "She kidnapped me this time just to threaten you with me. You didn't do anything for her, did you?"

Lu Jiuyuan looked at her with black eyes, shook his head, "No."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "That's good. By the way, how is Heng'er?"

"Heng'er, the emperor has already let her go." Lu Jiuyuan said.

"Heng'er can let go, did you plead for him?" Tao Yao asked again.

"I pleaded for him, but Eunuch Feng also helped." Lu Jiuyuan said truthfully.

Tao Yao nodded, "Heng'er is innocent, he shouldn't be implicated by Rong Niang."

"Ah."

Tao Yao looked at him, feeling a little hesitant.

Seeing him, Lu Jiuyuan asked, "What's the matter, do you have anything you want to tell me?"

"I..." Tao Yao still hesitated.

"I can't listen?" Lu Jiuyuan shook her shoulder.

"No, it's just this matter, it's a little serious." Tao Yao frowned.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it." Lu Jiuyuan encouraged.

Tao Yao glanced at him, feeling a little guilty, "Actually, this matter is still related to Rong Niang."

"Is it related to Rong Niang?"

"En." Tao Yao nodded, "Her identity turned out to be the princess of the former dynasty. She wanted to overthrow the Great Yan River and restore the Heaven and Qi Dynasty."

Lu Jiuyuan was startled, "It turns out that she is the princess of the former court, so it's no wonder."

"What should we do? If her identity is made public in the future, will it implicate us?" Tao Yao was worried.

Lu Jiuyuan pondered for a while, and patted her on the shoulder, "Even if her identity is made public, as long as your relationship with her is not known, it won't implicate us."

Tao Yao knew that he was speaking to comfort her, and with Rongniang's relentless means, when the incident happened, could she and the Tao family not be dragged into the water?

She didn't hold out hope for her.

"Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?" She couldn't help joking.

Lu Jiuyuan pinched her face, "Silly girl, you still can't trouble me."

"Don't talk too much, what if I get involved?" Tao Yao said.

"No, I won't let that kind of thing happen." Lu Jiuyuan narrowed his black eyes slightly, "Don't worry, I will solve Rongniang's matter in secret."

Tao Yao was taken aback for a moment, looking at his resolute face, she didn't ask any more questions in the end.

Rongniang has already provoked him, and he has plenty of ways to deal with her.

However, she didn't care about Rong Niang at all, she had repeatedly harmed her, how could she care about the mother-daughter relationship?
That being the case, why should she care about her?
