Chapter 397

After Tao Yao settled down her son, she saw that her dress was a bit dirty, so she took out a clean one, intending to change it.

However, as soon as she took it off, Lu Jiuyuan came in.

Tao Yao glanced at it, turned around calmly, and continued to wear it.

After she finished dressing, Lu Jiuyuan came over and reached out to pull her, but she avoided it.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and suddenly forced her to sit on the chair.

"Lu Jiuyuan!" Tao Yao glared at him angrily.

Lu Jiuyuan looked at her and said helplessly, "I know you're uncomfortable, but no matter what, you have to take the medicine first."

Tao Yao froze for a moment, turned her face away, "Don't worry about it."

"Don't be angry!" Lu Jiuyuan's voice sank slightly, and he stretched out his hand to sit on her lap.

Tao Yao stared at him resentfully as if anger was about to burst out of her eyes.

"I just found out today that you are so cold-blooded and ruthless!"

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, and said calmly, "You just found out today?"

Tao Yao choked.

"I thought you already knew." Lu Jiuyuan said lightly.

Tao Yao pursed her lips, momentarily at a loss for words.

He already had a bad reputation, and it wasn't the first day she knew about it.

But she thought it was just a rumor from the outside world, and never thought that he was really cold-blooded and ruthless.

But what he did today made her question him.

When she was struggling in her heart, her left cheek suddenly felt cold.

When she came back to her senses, she saw that there was an extra porcelain bottle in Lu Jiuyuan's hand. He was lowering his head and applying ointment on her face with his fingers.

She froze for a moment, silent for a while.

Lu Jiuyuan glanced at her, but said nothing.

It wasn't until he finished applying the ointment for her that he said slowly: "Today's plan, I did intentionally hide it from you.

But I did this to save you, the Tao family, and even the Duke's mansion. "

Tao Yao was startled, vaguely guessing something.

Lu Jiuyuan sighed, "Ms. Rong reported you and the relationship between the Tao family and her to Yushitai. The emperor was furious and wanted to investigate you and the Tao family thoroughly.

I have no choice but to try my best to get rid of the Tao family and your relationship with Rongniang in front of the emperor.

The emperor naturally didn't believe it, and even had doubts about me.

I can only assure the emperor that Rongniang will be killed within three days.

But killing Rongniang directly is not enough to make the emperor believe that you have no relationship with Rongniang, so today's plan came into being.

Moreover, Rong Niang is very cunning, she has been hiding for so long, the court has not been able to capture her, it is not so easy to lure her to show up, let alone kill her within three days. "

"So you made today's plan behind my back, using Zhen'er and me as bait to lure Rongniang out?" Tao Yao said softly.

Lu Jiuyuan hugged her tightly, "Yes, only in this way can we dispel the emperor's doubts about you and kill Rong Niang."

When Tao Yao heard this, she remembered that Duan Feng and other generals were also present when Rongniang was killed.

It seems that they are the eyes and ears sent by the emperor to monitor Lu Jiuyuan and her.

They have just witnessed everything, and they will definitely go back and report to the emperor.

"Yaoyao, although I didn't tell you about this plan, it's all under my control. I won't let you and Zhen'er have anything to do." Lu Jiuyuan continued.

Although he already knew his intentions, Tao Yao still trembled when he thought of the dangers he experienced at that time, and said mockingly: "You are so sure that we will be fine? If Xi'er hadn't saved us with all his might today, we would have died." died."

Lu Jiuyuan's face turned pale, "Don't speak angry words."

"I didn't say anything angry, what I said was the truth, you thought you could control everything, but how did you know the danger we were facing at that time?" Tao Yao choked up, with tears rolling in her eyes, "Are you still Are you planning to sacrifice Xi'er? Because you are sure that she will be loyal to me, and when there is danger, she will stand in front of me without hesitation?"

Lu Jiuyuan was silent.

Seeing him like this, Tao Yao knew she had guessed right.

His plan this time really intends to take Xi'er's life.

"You are really ruthless!" Tao Yao shook her head, her voice angry.

Lu Jiuyuan's face turned pale, and he explained in a low voice: "If you don't make it more realistic, Rongniang won't show up."

"So you deliberately transferred Mo Die away, leaving me, Xi'er and Zhen'er, three helpless women and children?" Tao Yao said.

"Yes." Lu Jiuyuan did not deny it.

Tao Yao closed her eyes.

She knew that he was not wrong, he was proceeding from the overall situation, and it was also to protect her and the Tao family.

But as long as she thought of the danger she and her son faced at that time, as well as Xi'er who almost died, she felt a little chills in her heart.

Did he ever think about what if things got out of his control?Then she, Zhen'er and Xi'er will all die.

At least, before planning, he needs to talk to her, so that she won't be so passive when facing danger.

But he didn't even say a word to her.

"Yaoyao, what happened this time surprised you all, but after getting rid of Rongniang's scourge, you and the child can sleep peacefully in the future." Lu Jiuyuan hugged her tightly, as if once he let go, she would Run away in general.

Tao Yao felt very tired, "Actually, you can tell me beforehand, even if I know the plan, I will definitely not disturb your plan."

"But Yaoyao, I only have three days. I can't afford to gamble. If there is a mistake, you and the Tao family will be questioned by the emperor." Lu Jiuyuan said in a deep voice.

He could ignore the Tao family, but he couldn't ignore her.

The imperial court has been unable to arrest Rong Niang, the emperor was very furious, and at this time he learned that Rong Niang had a daughter with Tao Qian before marrying him, so he was naturally even more angry, wishing to tear Rong Niang to pieces.

If Rongniang can't be caught for a day, the emperor will definitely punish the Tao family and Tao Yao together.

"I'm a little tired and want to sleep." Tao Yao said lightly.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and let go of her, "Well, then you have a good rest, I'll come see you later."

Tao Yao nodded.

As soon as he left, she got up and walked to the bed, and lay down beside her son.

Looking at her son's sleeping face, she sighed inwardly, feeling very complicated.

She shouldn't blame Lu Jiuyuan, but at the same time, she blamed him for not telling her the plan, putting their mother and son in danger, and also planning to sacrifice Xi'er.

Thinking of all kinds of things, she didn't want to face Lu Jiuyuan for the time being.

Listening to her son's soft breathing, she gradually became sleepy and fell asleep without knowing it.

She didn't wake up until evening.

When she woke up, the servants had already packed up her things. Lu Jiuyuan came in and hugged her son from her arms, "Let's go."

Tao Yao silently nodded.

After what happened in the morning, she was not in the mood to continue living in the village.

Apart from the fact that she didn't want to be alone with Lu Jiuyuan anymore, there was another thing that Rongniang died in this village...

Although she didn't feel sad or distressed by Rongniang's death, she still felt distressed after all.

After all, Rong Niang died right in front of her.

 Happy Tanabata everyone~
