Peach Blossom.

Although the green blood was abnormal, Tao Ye felt normal pain.

The pain seemed to make her feel dizzy.

Chen Ji hurriedly supported Tao Ye and told Xiao Wan, "She was poisoned, so her blood color is not right. I can detoxify her. You go and keep watch outside."

Xiaowan actually believed it, nodded foolishly, and went to guard the gate of the courtyard.

Chen Ji picked up Tao Ye, went back to the room, and used gauze to stop her bleeding.

Tao Ye looked at the green blood on the gauze and felt very uneasy.

"Are you a human or a monster?" Chen Ji finally asked.

"Of course I am a human..." Tao Ye lowered his head, not knowing how to explain this troublesome matter.

Chen Ji's fingers gently stroked the wound on her neck: "If you hadn't been injured to gain my trust, I would have been scared away by you!"

Tao Ye felt the touch of fingers and her heart began to beat rapidly again.

Chen Ji looked at Tao Ye, smiling: "I am nothing now, why do you have to make me believe you?"

"I..." Tao Ye's mood became more and more complicated.

Chen Ji smiled, a little bitterly: "Don't waste your time on me. With your looks, you will have a better future."

"What do you mean?" Tao Ye was confused. She felt that Chen Ji seemed to have misunderstood something.

"Let me tell you why you were not convicted today..." Chen Ji's smile became a little mysterious.

Tao Ye was even more confused.

"The official has taken a liking to you."

Tao Ye didn't quite believe it. She didn't see anything at all. Chen Ji was the last person to arrive at the scene. How could he have seen more information than her?

Chen Ji could see that Tao Ye didn't believe him, so he smiled faintly: "In a few days, there will be an imperial decree to the princess's mansion, summoning you to the palace. By then... you will naturally believe me."

Tao Ye seemed to believe it a little. She was even secretly a little lucky. She was favored by the emperor the first time she met him. Was there no concubine in the palace who was prettier than her?

"However, due to your special status, you are not suitable to enter the palace. There are many jealous women in the palace. If you are recognized as a monster one day, you will surely die." Chen Ji bandaged her quickly, stood up, and walked out the door again.

She knew that this time, he was really going to leave the princess's mansion.

Tao Ye also followed out silently and stayed beside Chen Ji as a farewell.

In the yard, Mada was still waiting with his bag on his back. When he saw Chen Ji and Tao Ye coming out, he consciously followed behind them, keeping a distance.

Xiao Wan had been standing at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, looking inside, and finally saw Chen Ji coming. She was about to ask about his whereabouts, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Chen Ji's voice first.

However, Chen Ji's words were obviously meant for Tao Ye: "No need to send me off. If you have anything, just come to the Chen Mansion to find me."

Tao Ye seemed a little worried: "Are you sure you want to go to your brother? Will it be dangerous?"

"It's more dangerous outside! Don't worry, little girl, I have Ma Da by my side. He grew up with me and knows everything about my brother." Chen Ji patted Tao Ye's shoulder and warned her for the last time: "Be careful with your wound."

Tao Ye knew that Chen Ji was kindly reminding her to be careful not to expose her special identity, and she was very touched, so she nodded obediently.

Xiaowan looked at Chen Ji, then at Tao Ye, and remained silent.

There was no carriage, only four legs moving farther and farther away. Looking at the two figures slowly going away and going out of the back door to the north, Tao Ye couldn't help feeling desolate.

Tao Ye felt as much sympathy for the prince consort as she hated the princess. She asked Xiao Wan, "How much do you know about the princess, Prince Wang, and the Grand Marshal conspiring to plot against the prince consort?"

Xiao Wan shook her head. "How should I know? Ever since the Prince Consort came back from Jingshui Tower and said that you fell into the water and your life or death was unknown, I took an hour off every day to go to the Qinhuai River to look for you. I didn't expect that I was suddenly knocked unconscious yesterday... When I woke up again, I was already in the house of the Grand Marshal."

"A princess of a country actually uses such despicable means!" Tao Ye turned her head to the south. She wanted to see if this princess, who had just divorced, was already impatient to meet her lover in private?

Unexpectedly, as soon as they turned around, they saw Princess Si Yao, accompanied by maids Cai Ling, Cai Wei and others, walking towards them in a majestic manner.

Xiaowan was startled, fearing that what they had just said might have been heard.

Seeing that there was no trace of shame on Si Yao's face, Tao Ye wanted to go up and scold him, but Xiao Wan pulled her sleeve, and she reluctantly followed Xiao Wan to pay her respects to the princess.

Si Yao didn't seem to notice Tao Ye's anger, and still looked at Tao Ye with vigor and energy: "You have made a contribution, and this princess wants to reward you. Whatever conditions you want to put forward, just tell me!"

Tao Ye was so angry that she let it out without thinking: "I want you to find the prince consort, can you do it?"

Caiwei, who was standing at the back, immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "How dare you! Who allowed you to talk to the princess like that?"

Xiao Wan was busy defending Tao Ye: "Princess, Sister Tao Ye is looking forward to the arrival of a new prince consort!"

"Really?" Si Yao obviously didn't believe it. Anyone with a normal brain could tell that Tao Ye was speaking up for Chen Ji. She quietly walked to Tao Ye's side and said with disdain, "Don't think that just because the emperor looked at you more, you've risen to prominence. It's too early for you to be proud of yourself!"

These words made Tao Ye completely believe that the emperor might really have favored her.

Butler Zhao Si came running over from outside and bowed to Si Yao: "Princess, the carriage is ready."

Si Yao nodded, held Cai Ling's hand and walked out. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back slightly.

Cai Ling understood and immediately ordered Cai Wei: "Go and call Tao Ye and Xiao Wan to go into the palace with the princess."

Si Yao then walked forward again.

Caiwei, still holding the dog that usually served her, left the princess and her group and went to find Taoye and Xiaowan: "Hey! The princess wants you to come to the palace together."

Seeing that Caiwei was so arrogant even when delivering messages, Taoye didn't bother to pay attention to her and just joked with Xiaowan: "Sister Xiaowan, do you think...if any male and female get along for a long time, they will look like a couple?"

Xiao Wan didn't quite understand: "Which one is Sister Taoye talking about?"

"Look, this dog and Sister Caiwei are becoming more and more alike as they get along day by day," Tao Ye said, then she started laughing.

Xiaowan didn't dare to laugh.

Caiwei was so angry that she wanted to let the dog bite Taoye.

Xiao Wan hurriedly stopped Cai Wei and tried to dissuade her: "Sister, please don't do that. Sister Tao Ye may become a noble lady soon!"

When Tao Ye heard Xiao Wan's words, she pointed at Cai Wei and the dog and imitated Cai Wei's tone: "How dare you! If you dare to mess around again, I will ask the emperor to chop you two to pieces after I enter the palace..."

This time Tao Ye laughed so hard that she didn't even say the last three words "dog and bitch", but Caiwei and Xiaowan could guess it.

Caiwei was blocked by Xiaowan and couldn't get close to Taoye. She was so angry that she lost her mind and lifted the dog high up and smashed it hard at Taoye.

Tao Ye dodged, and the dog fell to the ground due to inertia.

At this moment, Caiwei was frightened and stunned, Xiaowan and Taoye were also a little surprised.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Caiwei hurried over and picked up the dog, which was already injured.

Seeing that there was no one around except the three of them, Xiao Wan quickly offered some advice to comfort Cai Wei: "Sister, go find a doctor quickly, maybe it's not serious. Sister Tao Ye and I will catch up with the princess immediately, we won't let the news out. When the princess returns home, she may not find out either."

Caiwei picked up the dog and left without looking back.

Taoye and Xiaowan looked at her from behind and felt that Caiwei seemed to be wiping away tears.

Xiao Wan knew that Cai Wei must be worried that the princess would blame her, so she sighed, "I don't want to blame you, but what you said just now was really a bit too much..."

Tao Ye smiled embarrassedly. Originally, her anger was directed at the princess, but she didn't dare to offend her. So she somehow vented it on Caiwei.

Come to think of it, Caiwei didn't seem to have done anything bad except for her arrogant attitude when she spoke.

Tao Ye wondered if she had been infected with some of the bad habits of the ancients. Was this behavior considered bullying the weak and fearing the strong?

After following the princess into the palace, Tao Ye looked around like a bumpkin tourist. The rare birds and animals carved on the stone towers on both sides were lifelike. Every palace was magnificent, and even the patterned brocade stones on the ground were so delicate and exquisite...

It’s a pity that she doesn’t have a mobile phone to take pictures now, otherwise she could show it to her classmates and friends when she goes back in the future!

Tao Ye thought about it, and unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. She looked around and took a panoramic photo in her imagination...

Suddenly, Xiaowan pulled Taoye's sleeve.

Tao Ye woke up as if from a dream, and found that she had left the walking group behind the princess. The princess and all the maids were looking at her, especially the princess, whose eyes were full of disdain.

Tao Ye lowered her head silently and followed the pace of the princess and others.

They came to the empress dowager's bedroom and saw her sitting on a low couch, leaning against a jade table. A maid standing beside her was gently fanning her with a small palm-leaf fan.

Emperor Si Yu was also there, but he was sitting on the edge of the couch, and it seemed that he had only arrived here not long ago.

As soon as Si Yao entered the room, she threw herself into the Queen Mother's arms and said coquettishly, "Mother..."

Queen Mother Meng hurriedly left the jade table, embraced Si Yao, and asked about his well-being.

Seeing this scene, Tao Ye guessed that the queen mother must be the princess's biological mother.

Si Yu was obviously uncomfortable with the intimacy between the mother and daughter and deliberately coughed twice. Only then did Si Yao leave the empress dowager's arms and pay her respects to the empress dowager and the emperor according to the rules.

After Tao Ye and all the maids paid their respects, they stood in the corners like the palace maids.

Queen Mother Meng still held Si Yao close to her body, with a loving look in her eyes, as if Si Yao had suffered a great injustice: "Son, your brother just came to tell me about the prince consort. I never thought he would be such a person! It's better to divorce him, so that he won't bring trouble to you in the future!"

Si Yao pouted and continued to act coquettishly to the Queen Mother: "Mother! Why do you still call him "Prince Consort"? "

Queen Mother Meng smiled and held Si Yao's hand: "Yes, yes, yes! I should choose another prince consort for you!"

Si Yao was very proud and expressed his needs without hesitation: "Mother, this time, I want to choose for myself!"

Queen Mother Meng asked hurriedly: "Do you have a candidate in mind?"

Tao Ye thought, could it be that the princess kicked Chen Ji out and wanted to recruit Prince Wang as her husband right after?

As expected, Si Yao was very direct: "It is Wang Jing, the second son of Lord Situ Wang Yi's family. Please, Queen Mother, make the decision and help me achieve my wish as soon as possible!"

The Queen Mother seemed quite satisfied: "The Wang family is a distinguished family, not inferior to the Chen family, so they are a good match!"

Tao Ye was silently jealous: the identity of a princess is so awesome, she doesn't have to be bound by propriety, morality, and shame, she can get whatever she wants, even having an affair and turning it into a legal relationship is justified.

"I remember... the second son of Wang Situ has had a family for a long time, right?" Si Yu suddenly raised an objection.

Tao Ye was shocked. The princess's cheating boyfriend was actually a married man?

When two unfaithful people get together, they are such a perfect match!

Si Yao didn't take it seriously, and said something even more shocking without any shame: "How difficult is this? As long as my brother gives an order, can Prince Wang divorce his original wife?"
