She called Baishuang and fed the two sparrows some white rice grains that she had asked Xiangmanlou for in advance.

"I didn't expect Anle to like birds. How about I give her a talking parrot someday?"

The third princess, Xiao Daifu, wore a white veil on her face and sat aside as she spoke seriously.

Tao Yuwei waved her hand and refused, "Please spare me, I don't like to raise small animals or flowers."

Before the apocalypse broke out, she had tried to grow some flowers and plants, but she could kill even the simplest cactus.

Even the best-raised turtle can be ruined in her hands.

From then on, she felt that she was clumsy and had a trauma in her heart, and she never dared to raise anything again.

Seeing that she didn't directly mention the purpose of inviting her, Xiao Daifu became a little anxious.

"Um, is there any news about Wu Hanmo?"

Tao Yuwei signaled her two maids and the senior palace maid beside Xiao Daifu to go out.

When they were the only two people left in the private room, Tao Yuwei reminded them, "I heard that Concubine De intends to marry you to the son of the Left Prime Minister. What are your plans?"

Xiao Daifu was shocked by what she said.

"Who told you that? How come I don't know?"

Seeing the Third Princess' eyes wide open with an expression of disbelief, Tao Yuwei said seriously, "Don't worry about who told me this. This is true. If you don't make plans, the marriage will be settled."

Xiao Daifu stood up suddenly and said nervously, "I will go and ask my father to grant me marriage and marry into the Weiyuan General's Mansion."

Tao Yuwei was confused by her direct words.

Direct enough and brave enough!

"If His Majesty agrees to grant the marriage, what will you do when my cousin returns to the capital with a beautiful woman by his side?"

Tao Yuwei looked closely into Xiao Daifu's eyes and spoke carefully.

Xiao Daifu blinked her eyes again and again, thought for a moment, and said decisively, "As long as I am here, I will never allow other women to be around him."

"Okay, then you go back. I have to go back home too."

She will do everything she can to help the third princess avoid marrying Wang Jue as described in the original drama, being tortured and defiled, and then being sent by the male protagonist to marry a foreign prince, and then committing suicide in front of millions of soldiers from both countries for the sake of national justice.

If the Third Princess personally comes forward to discuss this matter with Emperor Jianchang, it should be able to disrupt Concubine De's plan.

As long as Your Majesty grants the Third Princess a marriage first, it doesn’t matter what objections Concubine De has.

If His Majesty does not agree, no matter what other methods you find, Xiao Daifu must not marry Wang Jue.

In the original drama, that man was extremely narrow-minded. Knowing that the third princess liked the eldest cousin, he secretly used tricks, not only causing a misunderstanding between the eldest cousin and the third princess, but also framing the eldest cousin to take a life. He was targeted and ostracized, and lost the position of General of Cavalry that he had fought so hard for. He guarded the Great Zhou as an ordinary soldier and died at the border at a young age.

After his death, he was accused of collaborating with the enemy, and the entire Weiyuan General's Mansion was implicated. His entire family was killed, and the three clans were also affected.

Tao Yuwei felt that the perspective of the entire book she read was problematic.

After parting with Xiao Daifu, Tao Yuwei rushed back to the mansion.

As soon as she entered the house, she ran to the backyard.

The tree in the backyard was empty. The two eagles that were responsible for helping her find the whereabouts of her two brothers did not come back.

Forget it, let’s wait until tomorrow. I guess there will be news tomorrow.

Tao Yuwei sighed and went to see Wu with some disappointment.

She learned from Wu that Queen Gu was unwilling to interfere in the third princess's marriage.

Wu gave her daughter a brief account of Queen Gu's behavior in the palace.

Tao Yuwei was not surprised at all after hearing this.

The concubines in the harem have always been fighting for their own interests, and Queen Gu is of course no exception.

She is usually nice to the third princess, but once the interests of the ninth prince are involved, she will of course side with her son.

Queen Gu simply did not want to offend Wang Xiang, the head of the civil officials, and bring trouble to the Ninth Prince.

"I don't know what's happening with your eldest brother. I'm so worried that I don't even have the mood to make arrangements for the household."

"Don't worry, Mom. My brother might be back tomorrow."

"My eldest brother is fine, but my eldest cousin is in trouble. Oh, if my eldest cousin brings a woman back, my grandparents will be in big trouble."

The ambush has already happened, the overall plot has not changed, and it is inevitable that the cousin will bring that woman back.

After Tao Yuwei said this to comfort Mrs. Wu, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She turned around and ran to the toilet in a hurry, so she didn't notice that Mrs. Wu was hesitant to speak.

Why did my daughter run away before she could finish her words?

Is there something wrong with the woman my nephew brought back?

No matter how anxious Mrs. Wu was, Tao Yuwei had already run away.

By the time her husband returned home, it was already late.

Wu told Tao Zhihong what she had heard.

"Madam, I have received the news that Han Mo is fine and will be able to return to Beijing tomorrow, but..."

"Just what?"

Wu anxiously tugged at Tao Zhihong's sleeve and pressed, "Did something happen to Zipeng?"

Seeing the worried look in his wife's eyes, Tao Zhihong sighed and said, "Just before returning home, His Majesty sent someone to summon me to the palace."

Tao Zhihong held his wife's hand and continued solemnly, "Your Majesty said that the troops sent to Yingzhou to search for Han Mo and Zipeng found Han Mo in a hunter's home in the nearby mountains after about a day of searching. He had a minor arm injury, but otherwise he was fine."

"Zi Peng's whereabouts are still unknown. His Majesty sent a person with an imperial physician, and Han Mo's arm injury has been well treated. His Majesty said that he has ordered some of his men to take Han Mo back to the capital first, and the rest will continue to search for Zi Peng's whereabouts."
