Chapter 1082 Abnormal
At the same time, Princess Zhao, who was housed in a house outside Chenzhou, met an unexpected person.
"Mother Tao, you..." Princess Zhao looked at the woman in front of her in surprise.
Her maiden name was Tao, and Mother Tao was an elderly person who lived with her mother, but she had been sent out of the mansion to retire more than ten years ago.
Mother Tao bowed deeply to Princess Zhao and said, "This old servant greets you, Princess. You have suffered so much."
"Please stand up quickly," Princess Zhao lost her usual airs and helped Mother Tao up and asked, "Mom, why are you here?"
The group in northern Hubei treated her like a prisoner, so how could they not check Tao's mother's identity?
"Princess, I exchanged jobs with an old sister and got in here to bring you a message," Mother Tao replied.
Princess Zhao was stunned. "What message?"
Now that things are like this, who would still care about them?
Mother Tao said, "It was General Qin who found me and asked me to bring a message to the princess. If she is willing, she can leave this place and go to a distant land with the prince."
"What does Qin Zhilu want to do?" When Princess Zhao heard it was this person, her brows immediately frowned.
She was deeply impressed by Qin Zhilu.
Back then, the prince subdued a group of fierce bandits and invited them back to the palace for a banquet. As the hostess, she naturally met them before.
At that time, the way Qin Zhilu looked at her was not right. She disliked that group of people from the bottom of her heart, but she did not lose her temper because of the prince.
Mother Tao said, "Princess, the prince has passed away. You should think more about your future." She paused and continued, "General Qin wants to know the clues to the treasure that the prince has collected over the years. As long as Princess tells him, he will find someone to rescue you and the prince."
"Treasure" Princess Zhao's eyes suddenly widened, and she understood in her heart.
Mother Tao advised, "Princess, you must think twice. Treasures are mortal. If handing them over can save you and the prince's lives, it will be worth it. I have been cared for and protected by Madam over the years, and I still have a sum of money to live on. If Princess is interested, then come with me to Yunzhou. I will never let you and the prince suffer."
Upon hearing this, Princess Zhao knew that Mother Tao was truly thinking of her, otherwise she would not have taken the risk and was willing to take out her own coffin to help her.
But that treasure is a talisman for her and Zhao Ling. Once it is handed over, if something happens in the future, she will have nothing to rely on.
Seeing that she was in trouble, Mother Tao did not urge her. She stood aside with her hands and eyes lowered, waiting for Princess Zhao to make a decision.
She really wanted to help the princess, but she was not so selfless. Qin Zhilu had already agreed to send her family to Yunzhou first.
After a long while, Princess Zhao clenched her fists and said, "Mom, tell General Qin that I agree to this matter, but he must rescue me and the prince first."
Who would be so stupid as to throw away the foundation of their livelihood? She is not that stupid.
Mother Tao knew this would be the outcome before she arrived, and she immediately said, "I understand. Please be patient, Princess. I'll come back tomorrow."
She was assigned by the Hubei Northern Army to take over the job of looking after the princess. She couldn't stay for long and had to be replaced tomorrow.
Princess Zhao watched Mother Tao leave, and suddenly she felt uneasy. Could this really work?
On the other side, Qin Jun heard from his subordinates that the woman guarding Princess Zhao had diarrhea and asked her sisters to take her place for a day. He didn't care about it at first, but after finishing the matters at hand, he suddenly remembered Shen Qingqian's instructions.
"If there is anything different from usual, we must investigate it tirelessly and never let them take advantage of any loopholes." These were Shen Qingqian's exact words.
The Qin army hesitated for a moment, then shouted, "Come here, go check on the woman who's taking care of Princess Zhao."
