Chapter 21

Yue Tao thought for a while and said softly: "In my opinion, if the master wants her to help and does not want to be implicated by her, he will form an alliance with her in private and not harm her. As for the openly, it will be possible to make the right move. Don't let me think that you are too close to her."

"You mean, I'll just do nothing?" Gu Huairou thought for a while: "This deal is a good deal."

Jiang Taohua may be trying to find helpers in this backyard. Since she is so careful, she can't be plotted against herself. She will be used as a staircase for free and will not be able to escape.

After making up his mind, Gu went back to Wenqing Pavilion to find a red sachet and asked Jinyu to send it to Zhengchun Pavilion.

Taohua ate a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin chicken soup and was chewing red dates as snacks when she saw moss coming in with a sachet.

"The reaction was quite fast." He reached out to take the sachet and looked at it. Taohua chuckled: "Qingmos, guess what does this Madam Gu mean?"

Qingmoe glanced at his master for no reason: "What else can it mean? Didn't you just say that if Mrs. Gu agreed to you, would she send this? Now that someone has sent it, it must be the meaning of agreeing."

Even though she was still feeling uncomfortable now, Taohua rolled her eyes hard and said, "As long as you think so simply, there is no such thing as 'human hearts are separated from the belly' in this world."

"... Could she have other meanings?" Qingmoe didn't understand and looked at the sachet: "Where did you see it?"

"Obviously, Gu wanted me to pull her, but he was afraid of being implicated by me, so he planned to give me a sachet and enjoy my blessing after forming an alliance, but he would not do anything for me."

He reached out and put the sachet aside, Taohua chuckled: "In this way, she only made a profit but not a loss, so she decided so quickly to send the sachet. Otherwise, she should have thought about it for a while."

Qingmother's mouth twitched: "You...have you even planned to do this?"

"Of course." After rubbing her forehead, Taohua lay down tiredly: "I knew she wouldn't come to help just in the morning, so I didn't want to take it seriously with her. Because seeing Shen Zaiye's attitude of taking her first surgery, she might not have any good life in the future, so as long as she doesn't make things difficult for me and doesn't drag each other down, that's good."

moss:"……"

The master's lips are still white now, and his expression doesn't feel so good. He has the extra energy to think about so much, which is simply terrible.

"You'd better lie down for a while." She whispered: "I'll change the medicine later."

Every time the dressing is changed, it is a torture. Peach blossom listened and quickly closed his eyes and rested. But when he closed his eyes, he still ordered: "Go and understand the cost supply in this mansion."

"yes."

The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been calm for a long time, finally started to turmoil. Shen Zaiye stayed in Zhengchun Pavilion for three days, asked for the imperial doctor for Jiang Taohua, and severely punished Mrs. Gu who came to find trouble. The news quickly spread throughout the yards like flying.

"It's fun to watch now." Madam Qin sat next to Mei Zhaoxue, snatching melon seeds and said, "Mr. Gu is arrogant and willful. If he is punished like this, he will definitely be in a dilemma with Jiang. Tonight it should be Meng's slept, and tomorrow night it's Duan. Both of them are both women with Jiang. In terms of qualifications, they are older than Jiang's, but they are robbed of their kind by Jiang at the same time. Liangzi is so big."

Mei Zhaoxue chuckled and fiddled with the tea set in front of her: "If you didn't mess with us, just watch the show. Meng and Duan are not easy to deal with. Let's just stand farther and don't let the blood get dirty in your skirt."

Qin Jieyu nodded, his face was very bright, his lips moved slightly, and the melon seed skin spitted far away.

Shen Zaiye was like he knew nothing. He went to court during the day and went to Zhengchun Pavilion at night to feed peach blossoms with medicine.

Jiang Taohua looked at him with a smile, refusing to speak.

"This is a blood-replenishing medicine." Chen Zaiye smiled: "I feed it myself, don't you take it?"

Shaking his head firmly, Taohua smiled and reached out to Qingmos and said, "Silver Needle."

Qingmos handed it over respectfully, and Taohua pinched the needle and put it in the medicine and tried it.

He narrowed his eyes and still smiled on his face: "Are you still afraid that I will poison you?"

"I'm not worried about me." Seeing that the silver needle was fine, Taohua smiled and took the medicine, leaned against the head of the bed and said, "Didn't Prince Nan say that? I'm entrusting my life to me, so I can't kill me. But there are so many people in this yard, and it's inevitable that someone accidentally used the wrong medicine. There is nothing wrong with trying it."

Looking at her drinking medicine spoonfuls by herself, Chen Zaiye chuckled: "You are very cautious."

"Living under my nose, I can't live without being heavy." Taohua bowed to him, looking respectful: "But since I am my master, why should I always think about making things difficult for me?"

Chen Zaiye raised his eyebrows, looked at her fair neck that was exposed with her head down, reached out to pinch her chin, and forced her to look up at herself.

"How can you tell that I am making things difficult for you? For you, I have let the imperial doctor return to the palace for a whole night."

Facing his deep eyes, Taohua said calmly: "I heard that I have punished Mrs. Gu severely."

"That's because she is ignorant, so she deserves punishment."

"You are too harsh." Taohua smiled: "Miss Gu did not deliberately make things difficult for me, nor did he cause any serious consequences. Why can't he sleep for half a year?"

"Are you pleading for her?" Chen Zaiye was a little surprised: "She has fewer days of sleeping, and more days are distributed to you. Are you not happy?"

When everyone is willing to sleep with a poisonous snake? Jiang Taohua sneered in her heart, and her face was still gentle: "I didn't think much about it, but I just thought that everything should be reasonable. Not only did Mrs. Gu be severely punished and wronged, the others in the yard would still feel that I was confused by me, so I was biased and blamed me. Isn't this a difficult thing for me?"

She actually saw it? She lowered her eyes and reflected on herself. Did he still underestimate this woman? It was clearly a manifestation of spoiling her. If someone else had been complacent, how could he say these clearly and analyze the disadvantages?

His eyes moved slightly, and he said in a wild voice: "I am not thinking well, but the rules have been established. If you forgive Gu, it will make people feel that I have gone back on my word. This is the matter..."

"I have a way." After interrupting him, Jiang Taohua reached out and took the sachet next to the pillow: "This is a small gift from Madam Gu who sent me apologize to me. It is great to know that I can correct my mistakes. It is said that Gu is arrogant. Since he is willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes, why not be tolerant and gain a reputation of being generous?"

Chen Zaiye raised his eyes and his eyes circulated around her face: "Have you come and apologized to you?"

"Yes, it's not a big deal, so I'm so sorry for her."

Are you a lie? Chen Zaiye didn't believe it. With Gu's personality, he would definitely make a big fuss. How could he do nothing and apologize to Jiang Taohua in turn? She is not that sensible.

He looked at Zhan Lu with his head turned to look at Zhan Lu, and Zhan Lu bowed to his ear and said, "Madam Gu did come to Zhengchun Pavilion at Wu time."

“…”

Chen Zaiye was silent, looking at the pale and chuckling person in front of him, and he spoke for a long time: "How did you do it?"

"What did you say?" Taohua looked innocent: "What did you do?"

"If you did nothing, Gu will come to apologize?"

Blinking, Taohua said with a clear look: "I did not do anything. Maybe Gu felt guilty, so he came."

This is okay to fool the person outside, but he is fooled? Chen Zaiye smiled, reached out to take the peach blossoms and finished the medicine bowl, and placed it heavily in the tray next to him.

A crisp sound shocked everyone in the room to tense. Jiang Taohua raised her eyelids and looked at him calmly: "Okay, why are you angry?"

"I don't like women who can lie." Chen Zaiye said with a deep face: "Especially those who are smart and try to play with me and applaud me."

Taohua sat up straight, frowned slightly and let go, and looked at him calmly and said, "Don't calm down, I'm just saving my life. I have no direct conflict with you, so why do you care like this?"

Is it because she was smart enough to make him angry or really sure that his intentions made him angry? Jiang Taohua couldn't tell it. This gesture could scare other women, but she was scared and was no longer afraid.

Shen Zaiye's eyes were like sharp swords, poking her from beginning to end. Finally, he seemed to find that she was not afraid, so he finally gave up on the deterrence and asked directly:

"Are you really just trying to save your life, or do you have something else you want?"

Taohua smiled: "Don't worry, I just want to save my life. After all, if my life is gone, I will lose everything. I can cooperate with you for the rest of the matter, but don't blame me for protecting myself if I have any danger."

The meaning is very obvious. It doesn't matter how he moves his backyard. As long as he doesn't threaten her life, she can obey it. It's better not to have the idea of ​​holding her to heaven for a moment and then letting her die.

Chen Zaiye looked at her quietly, his eyes full of oppression. Jiang Taohua looked back at him gently, even with a smile.

The atmosphere in the room was very tense, like a full bow, either a broken bow or an arrow came out. Qing Moss and Zhan Lu stood beside him, not daring to breathe heavily, and there was already a faint sweat behind him.

After a long time, Chen Zaiye actually chuckled, reached out and pinched her hand in his palm, and said, "Since that's the case, then you and I might as well work hard and get what we need, how about?"

"What do you want me to do?" Taohua asked playfully with her head tilted.

"Just be an ordinary woman and do whatever you should do in this backyard." Chen Zaiye raised his hand and gently smoothed her long hair: "As for your life, I will not lose it."
