Tao Yuwei noticed that something was wrong with her brother.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The Ninth Prince took a step forward worriedly and reached out to support Tao Zixing.
"It was a little too hot just now. Don't worry, I'm fine."
When Tao Zixing saw the Ninth Prince, he calmed himself down and immediately bowed.
The Ninth Prince, Xiao Hanyu, was relieved and happily took Tao Zixing's hand and said, "It's a rare opportunity to rest for two days. Tomorrow I will take you to the imperial hunting grounds outside the capital to hunt."
[Hunting? I remember now, the Ninth Prince was injured during this hunting trip, which left him with a chronic illness.]
After returning to the palace, she did not receive timely medical treatment, which resulted in damage to her internal organs. She needed to take medicine frequently to recuperate. The male protagonist's men took advantage of the opportunity and tampered with the medicine.
The Ninth Prince's health grew increasingly weak, and he was bedridden. The Sixth Prince intervened and sent someone to poison him.
[Not long after the Ninth Prince's death, the Empress could not bear the shock and passed away from illness.]
Tao Zixing: “…”
His scalp was tingling and his face was almost transparent white.
[Why do I feel like the Ninth Prince's injury at the hunting ground is full of conspiracy?]
Tao Yuwei trusts her intuition very much.
The ninth prince, Xiao Hanyu, is the only legitimate son born to Empress Gu Qingrong and His Majesty after they have been married for many years.
He is only seven years old this year, about ten years younger than the eldest prince Xiao Yuanjing, born to Concubine De.
It is his existence that hinders the interests of some people.
The older princes, who were older than him, wanted to go further and wanted to get rid of him first.
The Gu family, the most prosperous aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, quickly fell into decline after the death of Queen Gu and her son.
Tao Yuwei guessed that it must be the result of being besieged by many forces.
They were afraid that Queen Gu's brother, Uncle Gu, would find out the truth and bring them down.
"Forget it. My second brother will definitely go as the Ninth Prince's study companion. I'll try to find a way to go with him tomorrow."
When Tao Yuwei saw the Ninth Prince pulling her second brother to go to their own martial arts field to practice archery, she turned and walked into the mansion.
She didn't know that Xiao Lichen, who had brought people to chase her outside the general's mansion, was only separated from her by a wall and heard all her thoughts.
Looking at his sister's calm back as she left, Tao Zixing went to practice archery with the Ninth Prince first.
Xiao Lichen's eyes were cold, and he immediately had someone push him away.
Tao Yuwei returned to Fengwei Residence where she lived. She had just rested for a while on the lounge chair under the grape trellis in the yard when Ma Ma, who was beside the old lady, came to invite her to Songming Hall.
"Go back and tell the old lady that the matter she is concerned about will be taken care of tomorrow, and ask her to be patient."
Tao Yuwei narrowed her eyes, without asking the reason, and slowly covered the other person's mouth.
Nanny Ma didn't dare say anything more in front of her and went back to report quickly.
After the people left, a sparrow landed on the grape trellis.
[Little girl, your cousin has found a man in the Grand Prince's mansion, and it's already a good thing.]
Sparrow told Tao Yuwei about what happened to Tao Xueqi in the Grand Prince's Mansion.
[What did you say? Someone is plotting against Tao Xueqi?]
[Is the man the son of the Minister of Revenue?]
[I didn't expect that the male protagonist would take action against our National Defense General's Mansion so early.]
Tao Yuwei suddenly opened her eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in them.
When I went to the eldest prince's mansion, I didn't see that person.
Very good, she wants to see how long the male protagonist can hide and not show up.
She is looking forward to tomorrow's trip to the hunting ground.
