In the pawnshop's lounge, Tao Baichuan put forward his request to the manager.
"Tell me, what do you want my master to promise you?"
The middle-aged man in charge looked up and down at the anxious young man in front of him, his eyes full of disdain.
Tao Baichuan's mind was not here, he did not pay attention to the other person's expression.
"My request is that I must be transferred to the Royal Guard to serve in the palace."
He must join the Imperial Guards, Tao Baichuan has his own insistence.
"Okay then. I'll report this to the master. You go back and wait patiently for two days."
The middle-aged steward sent him away in a haughty manner.
Of course, Tao Zhihong was aware of the unusual movements in the second house.
"Tieshan, send someone to keep an eye on the manager of that pawnshop and see who he's going to meet."
Tao Zhihong was sitting in his study, and he specifically instructed his subordinates about this news.
Ever since Tao Baichuan stole the fake military token from him last time, he has been secretly sending people to keep a close eye on him.
Last time, someone wanted to contact him, but the other party secretly sent a little beggar to deliver a letter to Tao Baichuan, and he didn't find out who the other party was.
Listening to his daughter's thoughts, he knew that if the other person was not the Sixth Prince's man, he might be the Eighth Prince's man.
This time, he wanted to see what the other party wanted Tao Baichuan to do next?
He just needs to find out the facts and wait for the opportunity in secret. When the time comes, no matter who it is, he will make him pay.
The wife of the Tian family, who plotted to murder her daughter, has already taken action.
"Yes, I will arrange it right away."
Tao Xueqi asked along the way and finally found herself outside Minister Tian's mansion.
She kept looking inside at the door of the Tian family mansion, but found that the door was closed and there was no one in sight.
If this goes on, who should she ask about Tian Lang's news?
At this moment, a doctor hurried out of the Tian Mansion. The moment he came out, the door of the Tian family was immediately closed from the inside.
"Excuse me, Doctor, is Young Master Tian in the mansion okay?"
Tao Xueqi was not too stupid. She covered her face with a veil and blocked the doctor's way, preventing him from leaving.
"Mr. Tian was stabbed twice, but survived. He just woke up from a coma today."
The doctor saw that Tao Xueqi was dressed in upper-class clothes and did not look like an ordinary lady, so he did not hide it.
After saying that, he left quickly.
When Tao Xueqi heard the news, she became even more worried about Tian Linwen.
No, I have to find a way to sneak into Tian’s house.
She was worried without seeing Tian Lang.
Tao Xueqi walked around the Tian Mansion and came to the back door. She saw an old woman carrying a bamboo basket walking out of the alley and knocking on the back door.
Tao Xueqi took the opportunity to follow him. She forced a tael of silver on the other party and followed him into the Tian Mansion.
She asked the old woman about the courtyard where Tian Linwen lived, and quietly walked towards it.
In Tian Mansion.
Tian Linwen lay on the bed with chest pain. His personal servant had gone to the kitchen to make medicine and was not around.
At this time, a figure appeared in his room.
Seeing the person coming, he endured the pain and tried to struggle to get up, but was stopped by the other person.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I never thought that someone would actually want to kill you."
The eighth prince, Xiao Chengyan, was wearing a brocade robe and standing in front of the bed, looking at Tian Linwen, who was wrapped in several layers of white cloth, with a look of deep thought on his face.
"Did you see clearly what the man who killed you looked like?"
Tian Linwen shook his head. "He had his face covered and was short. When I was about to enter the Ministry of War, he suddenly ran out and stabbed me with a knife."
A bitter smile flashed across Tian Linwen's delicate face.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise, I would have died at that time."
"Do you have any suspects?" Xiao Chengyan investigated the incident of Tian Linwen being suddenly stabbed for a long time, but did not find any suspicious person.
"I suspect it was done by someone from the General's Mansion."
He has ruined Princess Anle's reputation, so how could the General's Mansion sit there and wait for death?
Xiao Chengyan thought about it and felt that it was impossible.
"I have investigated. The general was calm that day, and there was nothing unusual."
"Besides, if Tao Zhihong really knew about my plan, how could I be so calm?"
Tian Linwen thought about it and felt that what Xiao Chengyan said made sense.
"Tomorrow, send someone to the General's Mansion to propose marriage to Princess Anle with great fanfare. The rest will be left to me."
Xiao Chengyan is determined to marry Tao Yuwei.
Tian Linwen thought of the news he had received and quickly reported to Xiao Chengyan, "All my servants have been taken to the Dali Temple. I would like to trouble you to release them."
Xiao Chengyan nodded. Before leaving, he said, "That day, those people hiding in the crowd were handed over to Xiao Yuwei. They won't have a chance to speak."
After Xiao Chengyan left, Tao Xueqi, who was hiding outside, heard everything.
She covered her mouth tightly.
Tears blurred my eyes without me noticing when.
It turned out that what Tao Yuwei said was true, and Tian Lang actually wanted to propose marriage to the General's Mansion.
So where did he put her? The man inside just now called himself the king. What else did she not understand? She was being plotted against.
Tao Xueqi's heart was filled with hatred for a moment.
The little bit of affection she had hidden in her heart for Tian Linwen disappeared at this moment.
The grief and anger in her heart surged out, and she wished she could rush in and kill Tian Linwen immediately.
But her little bit of common sense told her that if she killed him she would also die.
She turned around angrily. If Tian Linwen dared to plot against her, she would make him pay the price.
If Tao Yuwei were here, she would also look with admiration at her second cousin who always thinks she is smart.
Not long after she left, Tian Linwen's personal servant came back from making medicine. He picked up the fallen veil outside the door and walked into the room.
When Tian Linwen saw the veil in his hand, his face changed drastically.
"Where did you pick this up?"
The servant pointed outside the door and said, "I just picked it up at the door."
Tian Linwen sat up suddenly in excitement, and the wound was hurt, and he cried in pain.
"Ahem, hurry up and take people to stop that woman outside the yard. She must have heard everything."
Thinking of Tao Xueqi, Tian Linwen's face was full of viciousness.
If it wasn't for the task arranged by Prince Xin Xiao Chengyan, how could he possibly touch a woman like that.
Now that she knows the truth, she can't let him stay.
The servant immediately took the few people in the mansion and chased out of the house.
Tao Xueqi ran out of the back door of the Tian family and cried bitterly while leaning against a big tree in the alley.
At the banquet at the Grand Prince's Mansion, she did not heed her cousin Tao Yuwei's warning not to run around, and thus fell into someone else's trap.
She raised her head and wiped the tears from her face. She felt that she had nowhere to go.
At this moment, people from the Tian Mansion chased out.
Tao Xueqi's face turned pale with fear and she ran away.
Tian Linwen's servants and his men were chasing closely behind him.
After finally running out of the alley, he was almost hit by a carriage on another lane.
The carriage suddenly stopped. The person inside saw that she was a weak woman and there were people chasing her in the alley behind her, so he lifted the curtain and said kindly, "Girl, get in the car quickly."
