Harem Daily Life

Rong Ze was horrified. He quickly said, "If you don't understand the medicine, you will die from the poison or the pain!"

Tao Yanyan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He asked Shuang'er to tie the man up and walked out the door.

Yin Jiu grabbed the black-clad guard and stood outside the door. When he saw Tao Yanyan coming out, he said, "Your Majesty, this man said he helped you change the medicine. He begged for mercy, so I didn't kill him."

Tao Yanyan stood in front of the black-clad guards and asked, "Did you really change the medicine?"

The black-clad guard nodded. "It's absolutely true. When I knew that the young master was going to feed the queen poison, I had already changed it. Please, Her Majesty, forgive me for not having done anything wrong!"

Rong Ze, who was dragged out by Shuang'er behind Tao Yanyan, glared angrily at the black-clad guard: "Do you have a pig's brain? I just smiled at you, and you betrayed me!"

He would never believe it even if he was beaten to death, and he would be betrayed by the people around him.

He fed them all poison!

Tao Yanyan said to Yin Jiu: "Send him to Doctor Liu to see if the poison can be cured." Tao Yanyan would naturally not kill those who had helped him.

Time waits for no one. Tao Yanyan and his men tied up Rongze and rode at full speed into the Xishan hunting ground, going straight to the place where He Linzhang fell off the cliff.

"Empress, are you really not going to consider my suggestion?" Rong Ze was still not giving up and looked straight at Tao Yanyan.

Tao Yanyan's face was as cold as ice: "I have two princes under my name, how could I support your nephew? You'd better give up and think about how you are going to apologize to His Majesty when you get to the underworld!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand, and the guards held Rong Ze at knifepoint and forced him towards the cliff.

The rocks on the edge of the cliff slid down and fell into the deep valley, making people dizzy. Rong Ze was limping on one leg and had nowhere to retreat.

"Haha, hahahaha, I never thought my Rong family would be extinct from now on!" He said, looking at Tao Yanyan angrily: "You vicious woman, I will not let you go even in the underworld!"

Tao Yanyan ignored his chatter and waved his hand. Shuang'er kicked Rongze directly off the cliff.

Tao Yanyan looked up at the sky, tears glistening in her eyes. "Your Majesty, I have avenged your vengeance. Where are you? Please show up soon, please."

After waiting for a long time, the only sound coming from the top of the mountain was the whistling wind.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late. You might as well go back to the palace first." Shuang'er stepped forward and advised.

Today, the Queen took a risk and went deep into the tiger's den to catch Rong Ze, the mastermind behind the incident. She was almost molested by him and was already exhausted both physically and mentally. Shuang'er felt distressed watching her.

Tao Yanyan sighed, "Let's go back, Yin Jiu. Tell the guards at the foot of the mountain to look for Rongze's body."

In order to search for He Linzhang's whereabouts, guards were arranged to search at the foot of the mountain, so since Rong Ze had just fallen down, he should be able to be found.

Tao Yanyan was tired, so he got on the carriage and returned to the palace, waiting for news of the search.

The next day, Chang Tai hurried in to report, "Your Majesty, the guards who searched the West Mountain have reported that they haven't found Rong Ze's body."

Tao Yanyan asked curiously, "Didn't find it? How could this be?"

She watched as the person was thrown down, and people had already been deployed at the foot of the mountain, so it was unreasonable that the body was not found.

She thought about the emperor and the shadow guard who had fallen and no trace of them was found, and a strange idea formed in her mind.

"I want to go to Xishan again." Tao Yanyan wanted to find out the truth and resolve the doubts in his heart.

Prince Yong volunteered to accompany her, so Tao Yanyan naturally had no objection.

The two came to the edge of the cliff again. Tao Yanyan suppressed his fear of heights and leaned over to look down. He saw that the cliff was as if split by a huge axe, and there was no grass growing on the cliff.

"Is there any way to go down and take a look bit by bit?" Tao Yanyan asked King Yong.

King Yong thought for a moment and said, "Hang it with a rope and lower it down little by little. But the cliff is too high, and it would be too difficult to do so."

Yin Jiu said: "I can go, why don't I go down with Miss Shuang'er to take a look."

Shuang'er nodded and stepped forward and said, "My Lady, I have martial arts skills. As long as the rope is long enough and tied firmly, there will be no problem at all."

Tao Yanyan looked at Yin Jiu and held Shuang'er's hand again: "Then be careful for a while. If you find any danger, stop immediately and find a way to come back."

King Yong ordered his men to find a rope, and had the guards tie one end around their waists, while hanging Yin Jiu and Shuang'er on the other end, and lowering them down little by little.

Both of them were secret guards. After rigorous training, climbing such a cliff was no problem for them. However, the cliff was too high. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to reach the middle of the cliff.

"Yin Jiu, look what that is?" Shuang'er pointed towards a huge cave. There seemed to be a piece of cloth tied to the edge of the cave, and the cloth was fluttering in the wind, as if waving.

Yin Jiu suddenly became excited: "There is a piece of cloth tied here, which means someone has been here. You stay here, I'll go over and take a look."

After Yin Jiu finished speaking, he used his internal strength to cut diagonally. Fortunately, there were some protruding rocks on the cliff, which he could use for leverage and step forward. When he saw the obvious knife marks on the cliff, his excitement reached its peak again.

Shuang'er was waiting about ten meters away from him. When she saw him go to the cave entrance and pick up the cloth and wave at her, Shuang'er imitated Yin Jiu's previous behavior, stepping on the protruding stones and moving forward step by step.

When they reached the edge of the cave, Yin Jiu grabbed Shuang'er and pulled her in. After she had stabilized herself, he said, "This is the material of our shadow guards' clothes, and the knot is also one of our marks."

After saying that, he looked into the pitch-black cave. "It's very likely that they are all in there. But I can't guarantee what will happen once we go in. Otherwise, you go up and report first, and I'll go in and take a look."

Shuang'er thought for a moment and said, "Let's go together. At least there's someone to look after us. If I go up now and report back, I can only say that I found a cave, but there's no real information."

"Then you must follow me closely. If anything unexpected happens, run to the cave entrance and get back up there as soon as possible."

Yin Jiu took out a tinder, lit it, and led the way in front. Shuang'er followed behind, and the two slowly entered the cave.

There are large pieces of stalactites hanging in the cave, and the stalactites are flashing with strange light under the light of the fire.

The cave was filled with a damp smell and the sound of dripping water could be heard faintly. As we walked, we found a fork in the road.

Yin Jiu stopped and wondered which way to go. Suddenly, a slight sound came from the left, like someone talking in a low voice.

Yin Jiu and Shuang'er exchanged a glance, tightened their grip on their weapons, and cautiously moved to the left. As they advanced deeper, the sounds became clearer and clearer; someone was indeed speaking. When they rounded a large rock, the sight before them stunned them.

Emperor He Linzhang and his shadow guards were sitting around a fire, with two injured people lying nearby. When everyone saw Yin Jiu and Shuang'er, surprise flashed in their eyes: "How did you find this place?"

Yin Jiu and Shuang'er were also overjoyed and quickly recounted what had happened.

Thinking of everything the little queen had done and the pain she had endured after he fell off the cliff, He Linzhang felt a pang of pain in his heart. "I didn't expect to be rescued by the cave here after falling off the cliff, but I just couldn't get out. Now that you're here, it's great."

He glanced at the two injured secret guards and said, "Find a way to get up there first. They were seriously injured while trying to save me and need medical treatment."
