After Tao Tao woke up, Yi Qing asked someone to bring her medicine and food. After regaining some energy, she spoke first: "Ah Qing, Xun Yan..."

Tao Tao's mind was still a little confused at this time. She didn't expect that Yi Qing might not even know Xun Yan, so she asked directly.

Yiqing said: "She's fine, Zhong Ziyi saved her. Ah Tao, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

"That's good..." Tao Tao breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. How long have I slept?"

Yiqing said: "It's been four days."

Tao Tao looked at his disheveled hair and felt sad. Yi Qing must have felt bad during the days when she was imprisoned. She had never seen him so lonely.

Tao Tao went to hold his hand, and Yi Qing said in a bitter voice: "Tao, I didn't protect you well."

"It's not your fault." Tao Tao smiled and shook her head. "I was too careless at the time. Yinyin and the others were not awake yet, so I ran to find Xiaoman alone. Are Xiaoman and Ashuo okay?"

Yiqing hugged her and rested his head on her shoulder. "They are all fine. You are the one who is in trouble."

"I didn't..." Tao Tao was stunned. It seemed that something really happened to her. Although she had slept for three days, she had been having nightmares. She didn't get enough rest at all and her body was very tired.

Yiqing leaned on her, and she felt that he was trembling, perhaps because of the joy of regaining what he had lost and the pain of self-blame.

What should she do? If those shadows continue to accompany her, it is impossible for her body to remain healthy. Yinyin and Nian Nian are so careful, and if they find out, they and Aqing will definitely be very worried.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, Xia Nian and three others ran over quickly, and Yi Qing also raised his head and stood aside.

The three of them rushed over and hugged her tightly. Tao Tao also hugged them back. Hearing the screams of Meng Yin and Xu Zheng, the melancholy in her heart was alleviated a lot.

Xunyan was standing in front. She was really surprised by the scene. She was glad that Tao Tao was fine, but also a little envious.

Tao Tao said: "Okay, okay, I can't breathe anymore."

The three of them let her go, and Xia Nian asked, "Taozi, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Zheng said, lifting her arm and staring at her face, "If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."

Tao Tao smiled weakly and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable anywhere. Blame me for making you worry for so long."

Meng Yin pinched her face and said, "Don't say that. If we don't worry about you, who should we worry about?"

Tao Tao nodded obediently, looked at Xun Yan beside her, and stretched out her hand to her.

Xun Yan was stunned, and hurried forward, reaching out her hand hesitantly. Tao Tao held her hand. Xun Yan was shocked because Tao Tao's hands were cold, not like she had just woken up.

"Xunyan, luckily you're okay." Tao Tao said.

Xun Yan put away his thoughts and said, "Yeah, I'm fine, but you..."

Tao Tao smiled and said, "I'm fine too."

Although she said so, Xia Nian could still see that something was wrong with her. After resting for three days after coming back, why did her complexion still not look good? There were dark circles under her eyes. If someone didn't know, they would think she had stayed up for three nights.

Isn't Tao Tao sleeping? Why is this happening?

Xia Nian and Meng Yin exchanged glances but did not question Tao Tao on the spot.

As they expected, even if Tao Tao had something wrong, she would keep it to herself because she didn't want to make them worry. They did not force Tao Tao to tell them and chose to observe secretly.

At this time, Qiao Yi notified several people to go to the main hall for dinner.

Yiqing took out a cloak and carefully put it on Tao Tao, and then helped her put on her shoes and socks.

Meng Yin pretended to wipe her tears with a silk handkerchief and sighed, "Wow... Yiqing is so gentle and considerate to Taozi. I'm not used to it."

A frown crossed Yiqing's face. He reached out to help Tao Tao up. Tao Tao smiled and said, "Isn't Gu Ling like this?"

Meng Yin blinked and said, "Oh, that's different. Yiqing does these things seriously, but Gu Ling... likes to be handsy."

Several people laughed out loud, and Yiqing's ears turned red - were they saying that he was honest?

When she arrived at the yard, two people came running towards her. One stood three steps away from Tao Tao, and the other was about to jump into her arms, but was grabbed by the collar and thrown aside by Yiqing.

Ye Man said with tears in her eyes: "Sister Tao...I'm so glad you're okay."

Tao Tao said softly, "I'm fine, Xiaoman, don't blame yourself. And Ah Shuo, are you feeling better?"

Ah Shuo hurriedly said, "It's fine now!" He flashed to Tao Tao's side, his eyes flickering, "Madam, it's a relief that you're fine... You don't know how the leader has been..."

"Ahem." Yiqing suddenly interrupted him and signaled him not to say anything, so A Shuo had to shut up.

Meng Yin said: "Xiao Man, you guys came so quickly, is A Yan here too?"

Ye Man shook his head and said, "No, Ayan and her brother went to Chaomu City in advance, saying that they were secretly investigating the officials there."

Meng Yin nodded: "Is that so." She moved closer to Xia Nian and whispered: "Niannian, discuss with Taozi and Azheng tonight whether to go to Chaomu City."

Xia Nian said: "Okay."

As soon as she entered the main hall, Xu Zheng waved her arms and shouted, "Taozi is back, I want to eat a lot!"

Pei Xuanxi pulled a chair for her and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accompany you, A Zheng."

Xu Zheng sat down with a smile, and the others followed suit.

Tao Tao took the chopsticks handed to her by Yiqing, looked at the lively and warm atmosphere around her, and suddenly felt dazed.

It seemed like the last second, she was still wearing shackles on her hands and feet, hugging her knees and crying, and in the blink of an eye, she was sitting here, with voices of concern all around her.

In the blink of an eye, did all the pain really disappear?

Suddenly, several pairs of chopsticks holding different dishes were stretched in front of Tao Tao. Tao Tao was stunned, and her hands holding the chopsticks froze. They all put the dishes into her bowl. In an instant, Tao Tao's bowl was piled up like a small hill.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't think I can eat so much..."

Meng Yin shook her finger and said, "That won't do. She's become skinny."

Xu Zheng walked around to the back and stuffed the bun into her hand, saying with a smile, "It's okay, I'll make sure it's kept by Taozi. Eat, eat."

Tao Tao nodded helplessly, took the steamed bun and took a bite.

At this time, Pei Xuanxi suddenly said: "Miss Tao, how did you get out?"

Yi Qing glared at him and said in a bad tone: "Pei Xuanxi, you are talking about something else, right?"

Xu Zheng also stepped on him, and Pei Xuanxi hurriedly said, "I was negligent, Miss Tao, don't take it seriously."

Tao Tao shook her head and said, "It's okay. I wanted to tell you that it was Han Liuyi who helped me."

"Han Liuyi!!!" Everyone present exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Nian frowned and said, "Taozi, why is she..."

Tao Tao explained: "That night, I was alone in the room, and she suddenly climbed in through the window and said she wanted to help me. The reason she helped me was that she wanted revenge because Yi An had harmed Lin Yue."

"Harmed Lin Yue?! Weren't they in the same group before?" Meng Yin said.

"Yes." Tao Tao said, "She didn't say anything specific, she just said she helped me for revenge, and her way of revenge was not to kill Yi An herself, but to let A Qing kill him."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Yiqing's face.
