The moment Emperor Huichen finished speaking, more than half of the tiger soldiers who had just been fighting with their swords suddenly turned their blades and aimed them directly at the necks of their companions.
The movements are done in one go.
Most of the tiger soldiers were killed by their companions before they could even react. By the time the rest of them reacted, it was too late.
The situation changed very quickly.
Before Qi Xue could figure out what was going on, the coup in the palace had already ended.
She couldn't believe it.
By the time he reacted, the person had already been captured by the tiger soldiers.
"What are you doing? Let go of this princess..."
Qi Xue shouted angrily, but the tiger soldiers ignored her and brought her before Emperor Huichen in a state of utter disgrace...
Tao Huan quietly left the hall as soon as he saw that the situation was not right.
This palace coup.
Not only the main hall, but the entire palace and the palace gate were controlled by the tiger soldiers, but after Emperor Huichen spoke, a signal was also sent out.
So Tao Huan discovered it quickly.
Most of the Tiger Soldiers turned their knives around and slashed or stabbed their fellow rebels to death.
Tao Huan could only turn around and run to the harem.
However, she stopped at a flower garden and looked at the figure who had been sitting beside the rockery at some point in time.
"Princess Yu."
Tao Huan quickly saluted with a smile.
Yang Zhao looked at her, a smile on his face. "After Princess Yu heard that I became the Jade Princess, did she tell you what to do with me?"
Tao Huan pretended not to understand and said, "Princess Yu, I don't understand..."
"Don't you understand?"
Yang Zhao fished in his pocket and quickly pulled out a sign, then threw it directly at Tao Huan's feet: "That girl should be able to understand this sign, right?"
Tao Huan didn't take it seriously at first.
But when she lowered her head and glanced at it, her pupils suddenly shrank. She squatted down to pick up the sign and took a look. She couldn't help but clench her fists: "Look, how could there be such a sign?"
"A gift from King Xiao."
"impossible!"
Tao Huan said excitedly, "There's no way he would give this sign away. You lied to me!"
Yang Zhao looked at her with a half-smile: "It's just a sign, why can't he give it to others?"
Tao Huan choked.
Because she knew very well that this brand did not have any special meaning in Xiao Yun's heart.
"King Xiao said this was a gift from a friend of his, and it could be used if we encounter bandits in Guangyu City."
At this point, Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Unfortunately, on my way to Qi State, I actually passed by the mountain near Guangyu City. There, I met a very loyal elder brother. He agreed to take me through the shortcut, but only asked me to help him find his silly daughter in Qi State and to give her a message."
"He said."
"He's been waiting for you to come home."
After saying that, Yang Zhao threw another broken jade at her.
The outside is inlaid with silver, as if the other party wants to make the jade complete, but unfortunately, it is missing and it is missing. Even if it is inlaid with silver edges, the jade is still incomplete.
When Tao Huan saw the jade, he was completely stunned.
The jade was her mother's relic. When she was determined to chase Xiao Yun, she broke it into pieces during the pushing of her father who tried to stop her.
Even then, she said a lot of hurtful words.
She thought her father would never forgive her.
Tao Huan couldn't help but tighten her grip on the jade in her hand, her eyes reddening uncontrollably. She couldn't help but ask in a dry voice, "Is my father... okay?"
"not good."
"Your father is dying. If you rush back now, you should be able to see him one last time."
After hearing this, Tao Huan's face changed. "Impossible, my father has always been in good health, how could it be..."
"Are you sure he's okay?"
Yang Zhao said slowly, "Ever since you left with Xiao Yun, your master has sent people to pacify your father's village. But given your father's temperament and your departure like that, would he agree to be pacified?"
"Your original big village was destroyed long ago."
"And your uncles and aunts, there are only a few left."
"In order to feed the remaining elderly, weak, and sick, your father dragged his crippled legs down the mountain to rob. He was nearly killed. Later, he tried to rob me, but I captured him. He had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy..."
When Tao Huan heard the latter part, his eyes turned bloodshot.
She pounced on Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao was prepared. He placed a sharp dagger against her throat. "Can't you bear hearing this?"
Tao Huan's eyes were red with anger: "What did you do to my father?"
"What you should be asking is what your master did to your father!" Yang Zhao looked at Tao Huan, whose eyes were red with anger, with a sneer in his eyes: "No wonder your father begged me to find you. A fool like you, I'm afraid you won't even think of going home to visit until the day you die."
"I never imagined the harm my father and relatives were suffering because of me."
"But, do you really not know? Or do you not want to know?"
As if Yang Zhao hadn't stimulated her enough, he scoffed. "You're not still dreaming that after completing your master's plan, you'll marry Prince Xiao as his princess or concubine, right?"
Tao Huan's face turned pale and blue: "You..."
"Stop dreaming. You're a bandit's daughter. Even the lowest servant girl beside her is more noble than you. Not to mention if her plan succeeds, she becomes the emperor, and Prince Xiao becomes a prince. What qualifications do you have to marry a prince?"
"Is it because you were once the concubine of the Emperor of Qi? Or because you were a secret prostitute?"
What does it mean that every word is heartbreaking?
That's it!
Tao Huan felt her chest churning and she was so angry that she wanted to kill the woman in front of her.
"Why, are you so angry that you want to kill me?"
Yang Zhao wielded the 'dagger' in his hand, and a drop of blood instantly dripped from the fair skin. "I didn't kill you because I promised Uncle Tao that if I found his daughter, I would tell him a message."
"Now I have brought my words to you."
As Yang Zhao spoke, he exerted force with his hand again, and the sharp tip pierced directly into Tao Huan. The pain dissipated a lot of Tao Huan's anger.
"Speaking of which, I have fulfilled the agreement with your father. Now that you want to kill me, if I kill you, I can be considered to be living up to my conscience."
Tao Huan felt his throat hurt again.
She could feel that Yang Zhao really wanted to kill her! !
Tao Huan finally panicked this time. She said hurriedly, "Don't, don't kill me..."
"I didn't mean to kill you."
"No, I have no grudge against you. Duke Yang of Qi, you are a good man, a very good man. Please don't kill me..."
"A good man?"
Yang Zhao paused the strength in his hands, looked at Tao Huan's eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Haha..."
