After saying that, she looked away and went into the private room with a few others.

Zhong Ziyi was still standing there in a daze, touching his face in disbelief.

Is he cute?

The few of them did not dare to delay, so they quickly finished their meal and continued on their way.

With the last stitch, Tao Tao placed the embroidered sachet under the pillow.

She recalled the days when she and Yi'an went for walks around the area and noticed what she needed.

Several herbs mixed together can make people sleepless and fall asleep quickly.

She knew that Yi An was also somewhat familiar with medical books. If she used drugs that could make people unconscious directly, he would probably notice it. However, he would not think too much about this kind of drugs that were more beneficial to the body.

These days she observed that the two guards at the door would go out every two days. As long as she could avoid wearing shackles at night before they went out next time, she could escape.

Tao Tao looked at the dressing table. She had already thought of a way to prevent Yi An from putting shackles on her at night.

After lunch, Yi An said, "A Tao, I will be practicing in the courtyard at 5 p.m. If you have anything to do, please find Zi Fei."

Tao Tao smiled when she heard this. This was exactly what she wanted. "Okay, can I go to your study?"

Yi An smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you are by my side, I can go anywhere."

Tao Tao smiled happily, stretched out her hand and handed a small steamed bun to his mouth, saying, "You are so nice."

Yi An was stunned, reached out to hold her wrist, and opened his mouth to take it.

After Tao Tao put on some makeup in front of the bronze mirror and went to the yard to look, she saw Yi An sitting on the stone platform next to her and meditating.

She looked to the side, picked up the small bamboo basket she had asked Yi An for the day before, and walked outside.

Because Yi'an was in the yard and Tao Tao had not been wearing shackles in recent days, the guards at the door did not stop her.

Tao Tao came to the back mountain. Although it was called the back mountain, it was actually just behind the yard. If she walked a little further up, she could see most of the mountain below.

She came here for two purposes: one was to familiarize herself with the way down the mountain, and the other was to pick herbs.

She has an excellent memory. When she was in high school, she was the smartest person and could remember every formula she saw. Fortunately, she has never slacked off in her studies over the years. Now she can remember them with just a little effort.

She noticed that there was another road from the back mountain, which could be taken as an alternative.

But there were mountain roads below, and many places were covered by trees, so she could only see the general idea. She would prepare the things she needed for the road in advance. If she escaped and fell on the road for other reasons, she would really become a vengeful ghost.

Time passed quickly as I looked at the road and picked herbs from time to time.

This herbal prescription was something she had seen in a medical book. It said that it could cure children's night crying. The herbs used were unique to their world. These herbs were very common, and when mixed together, they had this effect.

Because she and Xia Nian were prone to dreaming when they fell asleep, which affected their rest, she wrote down this prescription.

At that time, she made a sachet and hung it in front of the bed, wanting to test its effect. Coincidentally, Yiqing came to accompany her that night. Unexpectedly, she slept with Yiqing for more than ten hours.

Halfway through, a maid came to call the two of them, but they didn't hear anything and were in a deep sleep. When they woke up later, they thought it wasn't long.

Thinking of this, Tao Tao felt a little sad, and then quickened her movements.

She thought, Yiqing was a martial artist and was not woken up, so Yian should be the same.

But Yiqing was not very vigilant at the time because she was in the Qianji Sect. Now, as long as Yian trusts her completely, she can achieve the same effect. She can escape when Yian falls asleep!

It didn't matter that he locked the door, there were still windows.

Tao Tao was thinking in her mind and didn't pay any attention to the person behind her.

Yi An lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then suddenly put his hand on her shoulder.

Tao Tao shuddered slightly, frowned and turned around, and when she saw it was him, her brows relaxed again and she smiled, "Aren't you practicing martial arts?"

Yi An glanced behind her and said, "A Tao, what are you looking for?"

Tao Tao stood up, hid the things behind her, and said, "Nothing, just looking for some flowers and plants to play with."

Yi An raised his eyebrows and said, "Really?" He stretched out his hand, "Let me see."

Tao Tao dodged backwards and said, "Don't look, I haven't finished it yet."

Yi An frowned slightly. He thought that Tao Tao was a good doctor. Could it be that she was looking for herbs that could make her unconscious?

Thinking of this, Yi An felt annoyed and grabbed her hand and pulled it towards him forcefully. Unexpectedly, Tao Tao staggered forward due to his strong pull and the thing in her hand fell to the side.

"The bracelet I made! And... the herbs in the sachet!" Tao Tao shouted, looked at him with red eyes, ran over, squatted down, and picked up the flower bracelet that had been broken into pieces.

Yi An was stunned. What Tao Tao was holding was indeed a bracelet, which was made of light pink or light purple vine flowers.

Tao Tao bent her arm to wipe away her tears, raised her head and frowned at him, saying: "I just want to make a bracelet for you, but I haven't finished it yet, and I don't want you to know in advance. Why do you want to snatch it?"

Her tone was filled with suppressed tears, her eyes were filled with tears, and she bit her lips stubbornly to prevent the tears from falling.

Yi An cursed himself for being too suspicious. He was at a loss for what to do. He said, "A Tao, I... I'm sorry. I thought you were..."

Tao Tao took the basket and stood up. Yi An hurried to hold her hand. Tao Tao brushed him aside and held the basket in front of him. She said, "Look, these are just the ones I picked and put in the sachet. The sachet is also for you. I wanted to give you a surprise. Now you know everything. Are you happy?"

She threw the flower bracelet at him and said with red eyes: "I hate you!"

After saying that, she ran away under Yi An's astonished gaze.

Yi An caught the fallen wreath in time, and his thoughts finally came back. His fair face turned red. He squatted down and touched the joke on the ground with his fingers. His tone was a mixture of annoyance and joy: "I shouldn't have doubted her. Ah Tao acted coquettishly with me, but she... hates me?"

Tao Tao ran to the sink and poured the herbs in to wash them.

After washing, she took a bamboo sieve and put the herbs in the sun to dry.

After doing all this, Tao Tao washed her hands. She caught a glimpse of Yi An coming from the corner of her eye. She turned around, as if she was still angry about what had just happened.

Yi An walked quickly to her side and said softly, "A Tao, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have thought about you like that."

Tao Tao ignored her and walked out of the yard.

Yi An followed behind her and continued, "Don't be angry, okay? Look." He stretched out his hand in front of her. Tao Tao took a look and found that it was he who had just made the wreath.

Tao Tao didn't look at him and muttered softly: "Some people told me to believe him, but in the end he himself didn't believe me."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you." Yi An came closer to her, "A Tao, whether it's a surprise or not, I like it, as long as it's from you."

Tao Tao lowered her eyes, twisted the silk handkerchief with her fingers, and said, "Is that the question? Why don't you believe me?"

Yi An patiently explained: "Because of what happened before... but it's all in the past, I won't do it again."

Tao Tao looked up and said, "You are the only one I have, and you still don't believe me!" As she said that, she turned around and was about to run, but Yi An was quick to hug her.

Yi An said softly, "I was wrong, please don't be angry, okay?" He took out the wreath and said, "A Tao, I fixed it."

Tao Tao took it, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Okay, I forgive you."

She turned around and put the wreath on Yi'an's wrist under his gaze.

Yi An shook his arms and said with a smile: "A Tao, I like it very much. I like anything you give me."

Tao Tao lowered her head embarrassedly and said, "As long as you like it."

Yi An opened his lips, wanting to ask her about the sachet, but when he thought about the surprise Tao Tao gave him, he stopped himself from asking.

He was lost in thought when Tao Tao suddenly grabbed his fingers, shook them gently, and said in a soft voice, "Can you please not do this in the future?"

Yi An was so soft-hearted that he said, "Okay, I definitely won't, Ah Tao, you don't have to hate me either."

Tao Tao's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "Hate... that means I like you."

After she said this, Yi An's breathing held.

Worried that Yi An would notice that something was wrong with her expression, Tao Tao took the initiative to hug him, tears streaming down her face.

She said it countless times in her heart: Aqing, I'm sorry.

That night, Yian did not put handcuffs on her again, but just locked the door.
