Harem Daily Life

Cairen Fan was taken back to her Xiaofeng Garden for detention and treatment. Eunuch Zhang took people to search for the Heart-Eating Powder.

Tao Yanyan's wounds have been treated, but it will take more time and effort to restore her fair and smooth skin to its former appearance.

"Don't worry, I'll ask the best physician to treat you and use the best scar removal cream. There will definitely be no scars left." He Linzhang hugged the person in his arms, feeling distressed.

After Tao Yanyan applied the ointment, the burning pain finally subsided and she felt a slight coolness.

"Your Majesty, I'm fine now. I don't feel any pain anymore. If her mind was controlled by the drugs, I can't blame her entirely, but I never want to see her again. I'm scared when I see her. She was like crazy at the time. It was really scary!"

It is best to avoid seeing people with whom you have grudges as little as possible, to avoid enemies becoming jealous of each other when they meet.

"Well, I have arranged for the imperial physician to treat her. She is not allowed to come out until the poison of the Heart-Eating Powder is cured. In addition, she will be demoted to a good lady immediately. When she wakes up in the future, I will ask her to apologize to you." He Linzhang said.

Tao Yanyan was very satisfied with this arrangement. He looked at the time and said, "Your Majesty, let's have dinner early. After dinner we have to go check on the assassin from Canglongmen." Tao Yanyan had fought a battle in the afternoon. Although he was passively beaten, he had consumed a lot of physical strength and was in urgent need of replenishing energy.

Seeing that she was still in the mood to eat and to see the assassin, He Linzhang was moved by her strength, so he ordered the meal to be served and personally took care of her meal.

He Linzhang picked up some food and fed it to Tao Yanyan. Tao Yanyan was embarrassed: "Your Majesty, although I am injured, I am not disabled. I can still eat."

He Linzhang still insisted: "The imperial physician said you need to rest, I will feed you. Come on, open your mouth."

Seeing that he insisted, Tao Yanyan had no choice but to eat it all out of courtesy.

After finishing eating, Tao Yanyan leaned into He Linzhang's arms and nudged him: "If Your Majesty is injured in the future, Yanyan will feed you too."

It is impolite not to reciprocate. Tao Yanyan knows how to repay a favor.

He Linzhang: “…”

The king is injured, even a minor injury is a big deal, how could you think of that!

The two went to the Ministry of Punishment.

Only then did Tao Yanyan discover that there was such a place in the palace.

The atmosphere was very gloomy at night, and if He Linzhang hadn't been by her side, Tao Yanyan would never have dared to go in.

Seeing the little beauty's fear, He Linzhang said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."

He went straight to the torture chamber, where the assassin had been beaten beyond recognition and was tied to the rack, dying.

When he saw the emperor and Concubine Tao come in, the man raised his eyelids, but quickly drooped them.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Tao Yanyan asked.

The man didn't answer, so Tao Yanyan continued: "I have no grudge against you, and we have never even met. You have been in the palace for many years, and I just entered the palace, so the reason for killing me is not revenge."

"Fu and I have been in the palace for a short time, so it is impossible for you to have any grudge against her. Why do you want to kill someone even though you have no grudge? What is your motive?" Tao Yanyan couldn't figure it out.

"After two attacks, you couldn't have chosen your assassination target randomly. Did you want to kill me last time to frame Fu? This time you wanted to kill her to silence her and prevent her from giving you away?" Tao Yanyan asked, and then confirmed, "You were afraid of your identity being exposed, so you killed Fu this time because you were afraid of your identity being exposed!"

Tao Yanyan narrowed his eyes and said, "You are a member of the Canglong Sect. You have been in the palace for many years and have done nothing, which means you have been lurking and have not taken any action. But after I entered the palace, you took action! Why?"

Tao Yanyan glanced at He Linzhang and said, "I was not favored at that time, so killing me was not the Canglongmen's revenge on His Majesty. I was just a low-ranking concubine, and it was impossible that a high-ranking concubine in the palace ordered you to kill people, because I was not a threat to them, so there was no need to take action."

At this point, Tao Yanyan suddenly had an idea: "So, someone wants me dead and gave you the order. He is the mastermind and you are the executor. What can I get if I die?"

Tao Yanyan's face suddenly turned pale, and He Linzhang supported her: "What's wrong with you?"

She held He Linzhang's arm and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that on our way back to Beijing, we went to Qingchen Mountain and met a Taoist priest named Xuanqing?"

He Linzhang nodded.

"The Taoist priest said that if I follow Prince Yong, my life will be smooth, but if I insist on entering the palace, I will not live long."

"Don't trust fortune-telling completely. You are standing in front of me, Yan Yan, don't be afraid!" He Linzhang comforted.

Tao Yanyan shook his head: "Your Majesty, you also said that fortune-telling cannot be fully trusted, so what if it really happened? What if I really died? Then is Xuanqing very effective?"

He Linzhang frowned: "You mean...Xuanqing?"

Tao Yanyan knew that he had guessed it, so she glanced at the assassin and said, "You are in the same group with Xuanqing, right? Even if you are not in the same group, you are working for him for money."

The assassin looked at her in disbelief.

Tao Yanyan used his imagination to reason, "It is said that Taoist Xuanqing is very effective. He predicted my fate and said that if I continued to enter the palace, I would die. But I entered the palace, so in order to prove that what he said was true, I had to die. So he found you and created an accident in the palace to kill me. So this is the truth!"

He Linzhang didn't expect this to be the case, but the assassin's incredulous look clearly showed that Tao Yanyan guessed right.

"Isn't it that Xuanqing's efficacy is maintained through such despicable means?" Tao Yanyan said angrily.

"He calculated who would die, and then sent someone to kill them. When the person died, his words came true. How vicious!"

"So you, the Canglong Sect, are in the same group as Xuanqing, or he is a member of the Canglong Sect!"

"No, it's impossible. How, how did you know?" the assassin said his first words since being arrested.

"No wonder Xuanqing had that expression when he saw me again. It turns out that in his eyes, I should have died long ago!" Tao Yanyan was shaking with anger.

So when the original owner went to Beijing, passed by Qingchen Mountain, and met Taoist Xuanqing, it was her destined disaster.

But why did Xuan Qing force the original owner to go with Prince Yong?

"I don't know Prince Yong. Why did Xuanqing persuade me to go with Prince Yong?" Tao Yanyan asked the question in his mind.

He Linzhang raised his eyebrows and said, "You entered the palace for the selection, and you followed Prince Yong halfway. Prince Yong is being disrespectful and offending me, and he should be punished."

He Linzhang suddenly realized: "It turns out that their purpose from the beginning was to use you to sow discord between me and Prince Yong."

"The King Yong falling into the water might have been their doing. Their purpose was to make you save him, get to know him, and follow him." He Linzhang said.

He Linzhang was thankful: "Fortunately you didn't leave." If you had left, you wouldn't be by my side!

Tao Yanyan choked, feeling sorry for the original owner, who was murdered!

It was because of Xuanqing’s viciousness and their conspiracy.

"Your Majesty, Xuanqing cannot be let off. He must have done more than just this one bad thing over the years. People like him must go to hell."

He has the bright and handsome appearance of a Taoist priest, but he is actually an evil ghost inside. Death ten thousand times is not enough!
