Chapter 205: Completely Sober, Wedding Night

The leader among these people.

It was the man from Xijin who had mistaken the clinic for a restaurant last time and entered by mistake.

Those silver-gray blue eyes, with their empty and pure look, are unforgettable at first sight.

Ji Qingwu went downstairs first.

The man opened the window and looked at her back for a long time before walking out with the person behind him.

Arrived at the door of Anletang again.

After the young eunuch knocked on the door, he handed Cao Po a bigger bag of silver than the day before. This time, Mrs. Cao didn't say much. She just opened the door and let Ji Qingwu in.

She put on her gray clothes again, lowered her head and quickly walked past the palace maids who were washing.

The first time is new, the second time is familiar. Ji Qingwu went into the room by himself without the help of Mrs. Cao.

After pushing the door open, I saw Tao Wanyin still in the old position, leaning against the cabinet behind her, knitting a brocade in her hands.

The skin still looks haggard, but the complexion has improved a little.

After Ji Qingwu approached, Tao Wanyin raised her head, her eyes brightened and she said, "I was wondering why there was a gust of fragrant wind just now, it turns out you are here."

"What are you doing, princess?"

Ji Qingwu looked at the dark green silk wrapped around her fingers.

Tao Wanyin said, "The string of the jade pendant my mother left me is loose, so I tightened it again."

She used both hands to tie the new knot and said, "Maybe it's my mother's spirit in heaven. She knows he's going to hell, and she feels comforted and wants to comfort me."

Ji Qingwu sat down beside her and said, "Lord Tao has been ordered to be executed. The execution will take place at noon tomorrow."

Tao Wanyin burst into laughter. As she laughed, tears appeared in her eyes, but she was not as crazy as she was yesterday.

She held the silk net in her palm, looked up outside, and said, "The afternoon sun is shining brightly, but it's a pity that this room faces east, so the good sunlight can't get in."

Ji Qingwu handed over the handkerchief in his arms, but Tao Wanyin did not take it. Instead, she casually wiped the tears that had flowed down her chin with her sleeve.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I am in An Le Tang. Using such a beautiful handkerchief will only remind people of the past."

Ji Qingwu said: "The princess will not stay here forever. Now there is an opportunity. It depends on whether the princess can seize it."

Tao Wanyin threaded the jade pendant with the necklace in her hand and placed it under the pillow.

He said to her, "Qingwu, I know you mean well, you don't have to persuade me."

"Others may think that I am suffering here, but I know in my heart that only here can I live a peaceful life. No one from the Tao family has ever come to see me. You don't know how relaxed I am."

Ji Qingwu said: "The princess can go out for a walk. Although she is detained in Anle Hall, it does not mean that she will be detained in this room."

Tao Wanyin looked through the window at the sunlight shining on the low dead tree in the yard.

Ji Qingwu knew that she wanted to go out, so he said, "I will accompany the princess to bask in the sun. It will be good for the fetus in your belly."

Before they went out, they heard a heated argument outside. Standing at the window, they could see that it was several palace maids who were doing laundry and Yinxiang who were arguing.

Relying on their numbers, these people poured the dirty laundry water on Yinxiang and threw the unwashed dirty clothes at her.

Seeing this, Tao Wanyin walked out: "What are you doing? Stop!"

The maid said, "Oh, this isn't Princess Yong, should we kneel down to greet her?"

The taller one next to him said sarcastically, "Yes, how can we be so worthy to live and eat with the noble princess? Even this little maid is so arrogant."

Tao Wanyin said: "She did something wrong that you treat her like this."

The maid said, "We were just teaching her some manners, but she actually dared to throw the feces at our feet. Her heart is too dirty. Let us help her wash it."

Yinxiang didn't dare to yell at the palace maids, but she dared to shout at Tao Wanyin.

"What are you doing here! Princess, don't you know why they bully me? It's because I'm your maid that they take out their anger on you on me."

Ji Qingwu stood at the door and looked at them.

Tao Wanyin said calmly: "Yinxiang, I didn't do anything, why are you angry at me?"

"Because you don't do anything!"

Yinxiang was soaked through, her hair still dripping with water. She said angrily, "You watched me being bullied and excluded by them, and you just stood by and watched. It was the same when I was in the palace, watching concubines being brought in one after another, but you refused to give me a chance."

Tao Wanyin: "You..."

Yinxiang said, "What kind of princess are you? The prince has long hated you, and you will become a joke in the city."

She became more and more outrageous as she spoke: "Even if you are the eldest daughter of the Tao family, so what? The Tao family has been confiscated, and you are as worthless as me!"

She was taught this by the maid who grew up with her and was like a sister to her.

Ji Qingwu looked at Tao Wanyin's expression, afraid that she might faint from anger or have a heart attack from rage.

Tao Wanyin stared at Yinxiang for a long while before she said, "I didn't know you had always looked at me like this. It's hard for you to pretend for so long."

She took a step forward and asked, "Why, is the master's bed easy to climb? Did the prince say he would give you a position?"

She heard clearly at the door how Yinxiang cried and begged Prince Yong, and how hard and difficult her life was in there.

Yinxiang had wanted to leave him for a long time, but it was Prince Yong who asked her to stay, so she was willing to continue to accompany this useless master of hers.

Tao Wanyin's breath was unstable, but her voice was clear and penetrating.

"You say I am worthless, but even if I die now, I will still be the Princess of Yong and will be buried in the royal mausoleum."

"And you, you'll be tortured to death here, and then just rolled up in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave."

Yinxiang picked up the uncleaned toilet bowl at her feet, held it in her hand, and wanted to throw it towards her.

Tao Wanyin stroked her belly gently and said fearlessly: "If you have the guts, go ahead. You know how much the prince values ​​the child in my belly. If something happens to the child, guess what the prince will do?"

Yinxiang's body was shaking, and it was unclear whether it was because she was wet and cold, or because she was frightened by her words.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ji Qingwu's lips. How could there be true peace in Anletang?

Princess Yong still needs to be slapped in the face by the person who once was closest to her before she will wake up.

In this situation, if she doesn't save herself, no one can really save her.

Tao Wanyin turned around and saw Ji Qingwu standing in the light. His face seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, and the smile on his lips was the warmth she had always been looking forward to.

Back into the house again.

Tao Wanyin took the initiative to ask: "Qingwu, what is the opportunity to leave here that you mentioned before?"

"Before that, I hope the princess can tell me everything."

Tao Wanyin nodded.

Ji Qingwu asked directly: "Who are they?"

Tao Wanyin suddenly shuddered and her eyeballs began to tremble.

Ji Qingwu said: "I already know about Elder Tao's special hobby."

"You know everything?" Tao Wanyin clenched her fingers tightly, trying to calm herself down as quickly as possible.

"Princess, did he force you to do anything? Did he..."

Tao Wanyin bit her lip and shook her head: "He is not so beastly that he would attack his own daughter."

Then, she said in a trembling voice, "But he is worse than an animal. He once sent me to someone else's place."

She was only ten years old at that time.

Because she lost her mother at a very young age and her stepmother was not very devoted in raising her, she knew nothing.

Until the night she married Prince Yong...
