When Tao Yuwei returned, Emperor Jianchang was already waiting for her, and Prince Yong's son Xiao Lichen was also invited to have dinner together.
She sat down calmly next to Emperor Jianchang.
Tao Yuwei's eyes lit up as she looked at the various delicious dishes on the long table.
With the help of Zhao Kui, Xiao Lichen sat opposite her.
When you look up, you can see his handsome face that is pure and calm.
"Anle, Chen'er, it's rare for you to eat with me. Eat quickly, or the food will taste bad if it gets cold."
Emperor Jianchang smiled and invited them both to have dinner.
Under the service of Eunuch Zhao, he picked up the food on the plate and started eating.
Tao Yuwei quickly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the stir-fried prawns, but saw that someone was faster than her and had already picked up one.
She quickened her pace, grabbed one for herself, and just started peeling the shrimp when she heard a soft chuckle.
Tao Yuwei raised her eyes and glanced at the person opposite her.
What's so funny? It's just a left-handed person using chopsticks.
She began to eat her favorite dishes gracefully and quickly.
At this moment, in a side hall of the harem, two figures were fighting each other fiercely.
Qingzhu was wearing a mask and immediately separated from the figure opposite him after their palms met.
At this moment, footsteps were heard.
In order to avoid being discovered, the two fighters took the opportunity to hide in the dark.
"Why did you ask me to meet you here?" The strange voice startled the two people hiding in the dark.
This person is obviously not from the palace.
“No one comes here all year round, it’s very safe.”
Concubine Huo, who was originally banished to the cold palace, unexpectedly appeared here in a graceful manner.
"Back then, I worked with you and helped you get rid of the Han family. Now, it's time for you to repay me."
Concubine Huo demanded in a tough manner that someone come to help her own son, the Fourth Prince Xiao Xiaocheng, escape from the imprisonment of the clan house.
"Your request is too much. It's your son, the King of Yue, who failed miserably and cheated on that woman."
The man was disguised, wearing a black robe, a mask on his face, and a fake voice, making it difficult to identify who he was.
Concubine Huo sneered, "I know your abilities, so don't be so modest. You must have a way to help Cheng'er gain His Majesty's forgiveness and rescue him from the clan residence."
"I'll give you five days. If Cheng'er doesn't come out, I don't mind spreading the secret."
"Don't be impulsive, let me try!"
Seeing that the other party agreed, Concubine Huo quickly chose to leave.
The mysterious man quickly disappeared outside the side hall.
The two people hiding in the dark had no time to fight anymore and hurried back to report the huge secret they had discovered.
Tao Yuwei's side.
Xiao Lichen witnessed with his own eyes how much she could eat.
She almost finished a whole plate of stir-fried shrimp by herself.
Not only did she finish all the dozen or so dishes closest to her, she also ordered two bowls of rice, a serving of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, two plates of pastries and half a grilled lamb chop.
Emperor Jianchang was no longer surprised by her appetite.
After eating and drinking her fill, Tao Yuwei drank some hawthorn ice drink to stimulate appetite and aid digestion, and then said goodbye to Emperor Jianchang neatly.
"Anle, it's getting late. Let Prince Yong take you back."
Tao Yuwei agreed indifferently.
The emperor looked at Xiao Lichen with an expression that said, "You got it for free, kid," and signaled him to send her out of the palace and go home quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality. I will take my leave!"
After Xiao Lichen bowed politely, he followed Tao Yuwei out the door in a wheelchair with the help of Zhao Kui.
When I came outside, I saw the maid Yunxiao and the maid sent by my father, and I felt very good.
Good, it worked.
As expected of someone trained by my father, his strength is different.
The other side.
Qingzhu came out from somewhere and took over the job of pushing the wheelchair. Under the leadership of Zhao Kui, they all left the palace together.
Tao Yuwei had just gotten on the carriage, and her two maids had not yet gotten on when they were startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao Lichen.
Qingzhu politely asked Yunxiao and the others to follow behind the carriage.
The light inside the carriage was dim and yellow under the cover of the lamp.
"How did you get on this princess's carriage?"
At this time, two carriages were traveling one after the other on the quiet street.
Xiao Lichen looked at her closely with a strange and unpredictable look.
[Her face is three-dimensional, her skin is good, there's not a single pore, her peach blossom eyes are charming and seductive, and she looks pretty good. The villain really has something to be proud of.]
Tao Yuwei faced his sharp scrutiny with a calm expression, not showing any discomfort at all.
When faced with someone with stunning looks, of course you admire them openly.
"Princess Anle, how about you give me the evidence you found in the palace?"
[Ahem, the villain is so powerful! He actually found out that one of the pieces of evidence that framed the Duke of Zhuguo is in my hands.]
"I can give it to you, but you must promise to help me in the future."
Tao Yuwei will not do business that will lose money.
She originally wanted to produce this evidence, but the person was Xiao Lichen, so it was a different matter.
He is the grandson of Duke Zhuguo, and no one wants to find out why Duke Zhuguo and his family collaborated with the enemy and committed treason more than he does.
It would be a great thing for her, a cannon fodder, to have the evidence in his hands.
If she takes it out, it will be a hot potato; if he takes it out, the only one who will be in trouble will be others.
Among those who targeted her family, more than half were killed directly by the villain in front of them.
Thinking that the person she hated was about to get into trouble, Tao Yuwei rubbed her hands excitedly, waiting for Xiao Lichen's reply.
"Okay, I promise!"
She had temporarily saved his life. She held the key to uncovering the truth behind the unjust death of his grandfather's family. As long as she could clear his name, there was nothing wrong with him helping her.
In his opinion, this was not a big deal at all. Instead, he felt like he had gotten a huge bargain.
[Hey! Minister Huo, take this!]
If Huo Xiujie knew that because of his willfulness and secretly dealing with Tao Yuwei, his entire family would be killed by the villain early, he would definitely regret it to death.
Tao Yuwei is looking forward to how the villain will deal with the Huo family.
"I can give you the things, but not now. You have to help me bring down the Tian family first."
Tao Yuwei believes in the villain's strength.
She already had some gossip about the Minister of Agriculture and Revenue.
It was collected by crows, which is very exciting.
I believe the big villain will be able to make good use of it.
Xiao Lichen didn't hesitate at all. He asked calmly, "How do you want me to deal with the Tian family?"
He wanted to find out where her bottom line was.
Tao Yuwei smiled gently, supported her chin with her hand, and stared at his face.
Under such a frank and presumptuous gaze, Xiao Lichen could hardly hold back.
A blush crept up his ears.
He subconsciously clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves.
The heat inexplicably appeared on his face.
[Wow! He's so innocent! He blushes after just a moment of looking at me. It's kind of funny.]
