Chapter 997
Zhao Man'er has been in a state of panic for the past few days, but when she suddenly received news from the palace, she hurried into the palace.

"That matter...is it settled?" Zhao Man'er asked in a low voice when the maid retreated.

She had wanted to ask about this for a long time, and today just took this opportunity to ask.

Concubine Jing raised her eyebrows: "Sure enough, in your heart, you only have your own interests."

"What are you talking about? In my heart, you are also very important." Zhao Man'er frowned, disapproving of her words.

Concubine Jing glanced at her and sneered: "Don't pretend, I know who you are much better than you."

"You called me here today just to ridicule me?" Zhao Man'er held back her anger.

"Of course not." Concubine Jing took a sip of the teapot and said slowly, "Is there any trouble after you did that before?"

Zhao Man'er looked at her suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. If there are future troubles, you can get rid of them. This palace will attack the queen in the next few days. If you don't want Prince Jing to retaliate, you should clean up the matter and don't let this palace hold you back." Concubine Jing raised her hand, He casually poured a cup of hot tea with the teapot and pushed it in front of Zhao Man'er.

Zhao Man'er hesitated and said, "There is one future trouble, I wanted to treat her as a scapegoat..."

"There's no need for a scapegoat, just deal with the person earlier." Concubine Jing interrupted her directly.

"She's been a peach blossom who has served me for several years. Except for this incident, she has done very well at other times..."

"But, it didn't work out this time, right? If that's the case, why keep it?" Concubine Jing smiled lightly, "Could it be that Bengong's mother had some ridiculous master-servant affection for Taohua?"

Speaking of this, she actually laughed out loud, tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

Zhao Man'er pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Mother, you have to distinguish which is more important." Concubine Jing finally stopped laughing, she wiped her tears, and said to Zhao Man'er slowly, "I am your daughter."

Zhao Man'er's pupils shrank, and she closed her eyes: "I see, I will deal with her when I go back."

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "It's getting late, I won't keep my mother."

Zhao Man'er didn't know how she got out of the palace gate, she couldn't help but look back, but she could only see Concubine Jing's long hair fluttering with the wind blowing from the window.

Her two daughters are really different.

It is clearly the same face, one is kind like an angel, how could the other one be like this...

Could it be that he really did something wrong back then?
She just wanted to gain a good foothold in the Grand Master's Mansion, she didn't want to...

Sometimes when she looks at Concubine Jing, she can't help but feel intrusive... This feeling has been continuously strengthened, so she didn't want to take that daughter back to the mansion at the beginning, because her temperament was too dark, and she was too like her... So, she didn't like it very much.

After Zhao Man'er returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, she asked the big maid to call Taohua.

Although Taohua is still working by Zhao Man'er's side today, she is not as glamorous as before.

"Ma'am, are you looking for me?" Tao Hua bowed respectfully.

"You sit first." Zhao Man'er beckoned, and the big maid came over with a plate and put the food on it one by one.

Taohua's pupils trembled: "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

"This is the food I got from the palace. I heard it's delicious. Try it." Zhao Man'er picked up a piece of pastry and put it in Taohua's hands.

Taohua trembled subconsciously, Zhao Man'er had never had such a good time, and today's change was too abnormal.

She can't help but wonder, is this her last meal?Or, what kind of poison is in this pastry?

As soon as this idea came out, the more Tao Hua thought about it, the more she thought about it, and she didn't dare to eat it.

Zhao Man'er seemed to see through her thoughts, took a piece of pastry and ate it first.

Taohua stared at her lips closely, watching her swallow without any abnormality.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Zhao Man'er looked at her nervous appearance and smiled, "Why, dare not eat?"

Taohua shook her head, swallowed hard, and tremblingly took the pastry into her mouth.

The pastry is sweet, but otherwise, there is no other taste.

Maybe she ate too fast, and Taohua choked without stopping, coughing non-stop, and the pastry stuck in her throat.

Zhao Man'er poured her a glass of water, and Tao Hua quickly took it and swallowed it.

After drinking it, she suddenly remembered that Zhao Man'er hadn't drunk this glass of water before...

Thinking of this, the consciousness gradually became dull, and the body became clearer and clearer, as if floating on the clouds.

Zhao Man'er looked coldly at Peach Blossom who had fallen to the ground, and turned her head to tell the big maid: "Lock him up first, and let Da Zhuang from Biezhuang come over tomorrow and let him take him away."

"Yes, ma'am." The eldest maid stared at the ground, not daring to meet Zhao Man'er's eyes.

As if thinking of something, Zhao Man'er stopped the maid who was about to step out of the room: "By the way, let Da Zhuang take care of that nanny as well, and let him clean it up."

"Yes." The big servant girl paused and walked out quickly.

When Taohua woke up again, she found that she was locked in the firewood room, which has always been the servant girl who committed crimes.

Taohua moved her hands and feet, but fortunately there was no damage. It seemed that what was in the glass of water was just a coma medicine, fortunately it was not poison.

But yes, if she died in the Grand Master's Mansion, Zhao Man'er would not be able to escape. How could a person like her leave such a mark.

She has been with Zhao Man'er for many years, and she dare not say that she understands everything, but she does know her style very well.

Right now, if she can't find a way to save herself, she will definitely be silenced by Zhao Man'er.

What should I do?What can I do to survive?
Tao Hua looked at the closed windows everywhere, and according to the current situation where Zhao Man'er was determined to kill her, she would definitely not be able to escape.

Since he can't escape, is there a way for someone to come and save him?
Peach Blossom's eyes rolled quickly, and soon, she thought of a person, and that was Prince Jing!

Since Prince Jing dared to send her back, he must have the courage to oppose Zhao Man'er. If so, she might as well ask Liu Han for help!

Perhaps there is still a way out, thinking of this, Taohua hastily knocked on the door of the woodshed.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone? Can you say something?"

"What's the noise! ​​Stay indoors obediently, and I'll take you away tomorrow!" Two men guarding the door, one of them yelled at her.

"Brother, brother, I have something good for you."

Listening to the voice, Taohua quickly recognized that this was Erya's elder brother, Erniu. This person is most greedy for money and loves beauty. Maybe I can trouble him.

The two men looked at each other, Er Niu said, "What good thing? Pass it out from the window!"

After hearing what he said, Tao Hua knew that the other party was interested.

She hurriedly took off the beads on her wrist and handed them out through the gap in the window.

Er Niu took it and shone a light on the lantern.

"The quality of this bead is not bad, it's more than enough to go to the pawnshop to change it for a few dozen taels." Another person clicked his lips.

Seeing this, Er Niu asked again: "Do you have any other good things?"

How much does it cost to work for a month? How can it keep up with the huge profits? Er Niu immediately became greedy.

"Brother Erniu, I have something to trouble you..."

"I don't dare to let you go!" Er Niu waved his hand before she finished speaking, but he really wanted the money, but he never dared to let you go.

Tao Hua secretly hated the other party for being incomprehensible, but she also knew that she would definitely not be able to get out at this moment.

She bit her lips: "Brother Erniu, I don't need you to let me go, I just need you to deliver a message to Prince Jing's mansion for me, and after that, I will give you all my belongings, 50 taels of silver Well, I saved it for several years."

"Just to send a message?" Er Niu asked suspiciously, "Just 50 taels of silver?"

"It's absolutely true!" Tao Hua nodded affirmatively.

Er Niu looked at the person beside him, and the other person's eyes were also shining.

As a working person, how can I earn these 50 taels? This tael of silver also needs to be saved for a long time. I have to say that Taohua's hand is too generous, and it is difficult for them not to be tempted.

The two looked at each other, and decided to keep one of them and let Er Niu go to bring a message. When they came back, the money would be divided between the two.

Taohua nestled by the window, listening to the two discussing aside, a smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

She already knew that this money was very attractive to Er Niu, this man was a gambler, and money was his weakness.

As long as you give him money, he can basically do anything, let alone such a trivial matter.

"How do I know if you lied to me to run errands? What if you don't have money?" The person next to him looked at Taohua as if he suddenly remembered something.

Er Niu also said: "That's right, don't lie to us."

"Brother Erniu, how dare Taohua lie to you." Taohua said softly, smiling softly, took out 20 taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Er Niu, "These 20 taels are for the two brothers For the deposit, Taohua will make up the rest of the money when Brother Erniu comes back, Brother Erniu, how do you think?"

Er Niu heard her say "Er Niu Brother" from the left, and "Er Niu Brother" from the right, and her body felt a little weak.

Not to mention, he was still holding a lot of silver in his hand, and the people next to him couldn't wait to take his share.

Er Niu swallowed his saliva while holding the heavy money. With this money, he can go to the gambling house again.

Taohua called softly: "Brother Erniu, come here, I'll tell you a few words."

Er Niu stepped forward and put his ears together.

"Okay, you just wait here, your Er Niu brother will definitely do this for you!" He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"Ah."

Taohua responded softly, not worried that Er Niu was just talking.

She has stayed in this mansion for so long, so she still has the ability to recognize people. Although Er Niu likes to gamble, she will not miss a single thing that should be done.

For example, at this moment, he is guarding her, but he will not let her go.

But no one said that communication is not allowed, so Er Niu is not considered dereliction of duty.
