Mrs. Wu tried hard to regulate her disordered breathing and shook her head weakly, "Mom is fine, she just didn't get enough rest these two nights, so she's a little weak."
"Mom, your symptoms seem like hypoglycemia. Someone, come and get her some malt sugar."
Tao Yuwei stood up worriedly and called for help. She had not rested well before and had experienced hypoglycemia when she woke up in the morning. Her eyes went dark and she suddenly fainted and knew nothing.
Wu was afraid that she would become suspicious, so she followed her advice and ate a piece of malt candy.
"Dad, help Mom get some rest. Don't worry about the rumors. I'll find a way to deal with it."
Seeing that Wu's complexion had improved a lot after eating the candy, Tao Yuwei turned around and walked out of Qingheyuan.
She quickened her pace and rushed to Fengwei Residence where she lived.
Faced with such a disgraceful rumor, the male protagonist, the eighth prince Xiao Chengyan, could no longer hold back and finally took action.
Tian Linwen is the male protagonist's capable assistant on the road to achieving kingship and hegemony, and is deeply trusted by the male protagonist.
She must seize this excellent opportunity to remove him from the male protagonist's team.
Soon after she left, Tao Zixing realized that their parents, like him, knew that his sister could predict the future and hear her inner thoughts.
He was afraid that Wu would be too sad to bear the grief over something that had not happened in her maternal family, so he went forward to comfort her.
"Mom, it hasn't happened yet, don't worry. We can make arrangements in advance and work hard to change the outcome predicted by my sister. We just need to wipe out all those stinky rats hiding in the dark and plotting against our family."
Tao Zixing was not worried about the things his sister predicted. Everything depends on human efforts. As long as his family is united, no outsider can defeat them.
"Father, today, I will inform the Empress that I will no longer be accompanying the Ninth Prince in his studies at the palace. I will be taking the imperial examination next year."
After hearing what their son said, the couple had nothing to understand. Their second son could also hear what their daughter was thinking.
You must pass the imperial examination as soon as possible to enter the officialdom, prepare your abilities, and protect your family.
"Your mother and I will not interfere with your choice. It's up to you."
Tao Zhihong didn't worry too much about his second son who always had his own ideas.
Upon hearing this, Tao Zixing bowed to his parents and left with firm steps.
After his son left, Tao Zhihong comforted his wife, "You take a rest first, I'll take care of the things outside."
Back in the study, Tao Zhihong gathered his men and said, "Send someone to secretly monitor the Tian family, the Minister of Revenue. Report to me if anything happens."
He also arranged some people to pay special attention to the developments in the capital.
Little did he know that his daughter was faster than him.
At this time, Tao Yuwei was sitting in her own carriage, and under the guidance of her maids Yunxiao and Baishuang, she came to Xiangmanlou, the largest restaurant in the capital, to inquire about the news.
When they arrived, they first chose a private room.
Tao Yuwei sat down in the private room. It was still early and not time for lunch.
First, ask the waiter of the restaurant to bring a pot of tea and some snacks.
Picking up a piece of red bean cake, Tao Yuwei ate it with relish.
She hadn't gone out and hadn't met any animals returning home from the city, so she didn't know what was happening outside. If she came here, she would definitely be able to find out a lot of news.
Let’s eat the cakes first.
According to the location she provided, Tao Baichuan, who went to report for duty, was taken to the south gate of the capital by the people of his uncle Gu Xinyuan to guard the gate.
Tao Baichuan was stunned on the spot.
"Sir, are you mistaken? I came to the palace to work, not to guard the gate."
After Tao Baichuan reacted, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
The person who led him to guard the city gate was Gu Xinyuan's guard. Thinking of his master's instructions before coming, his face darkened. "I'm sorry, the Imperial Guards are not short of people. I'm just following orders. If you are willing to do it, do it. If you don't want to guard the city gate, go home."
The man turned and walked away, and Tao Baichuan hurriedly stopped him.
"Don't go, I'm willing to guard the city gate."
He put on a smile and followed the other party cautiously to meet the city gate officer in charge of guarding the city gate.
The gate officer asked the soldier to bring a set of clothes for guarding the gate and handed it to Tao Baichuan.
Tao Baichuan took the clothes reluctantly, and saw that they were still old, and they exuded a pungent smell of sweat.
Looking at the clothes in his hands, he really wanted to throw them on the ground and walk away.
But when he thought about how his mother and grandmother took out most of their private money and gave it to his cousin Tao Yuwei to help him get this position from the emperor's uncle, he gritted his teeth and put it on.
"Go, follow them and stand guard!"
The city gate officer saw that he had put on his clothes obediently, raised his chin, and motioned him to stand obediently at the city gate.
Tao Baichuan, holding a red tasseled spear, stood at the busy city gate with others, feeling distracted.
His cousin failed to fulfill his long-cherished wish of joining the Royal Guard.
hateful!
Fifty thousand taels of silver notes were wasted in the hands of his cousin Tao Yuwei, who only found him a job guarding the city gate. This was a deliberate insult to him.
The king's uncle Gu Xinyuan and Tao Baichuan did not dare to complain.
He held a grudge against Tao Yuwei.
When the noble person promotes him, he will definitely kick the eldest wife's family out of the Tao family.
Since he couldn't enter the palace to serve, he couldn't complete the tasks assigned by the nobles.
No, I must find a way to sneak into the palace.
He knew that the eldest cousin had bad intentions. She said she was helping him to give banknotes to the emperor's uncle to get a job. But it was she who secretly embezzled most of the banknotes and only gave a small portion of the money to the emperor's uncle.
People must have felt that the money he gave was too little, so they refused to help him. In anger, they sent him to the city gate to be a gatekeeper.
After finishing his shift, he went to ask his cousin for the banknote.
At this time, a group of people came out of the city, carrying bamboo baskets in their hands, and talked as they walked, "The young lady of the General's Mansion is so shameless. I heard that she actually raped a man in broad daylight. If this happened in our village, she would be thrown into a pig cage."
