Harem Daily Life

Time was of the essence, leaving He Linzhang no time for reflection. Ultimately, he had no choice but to follow King Liang's request and allow Tao Yanyan to meet him. However, he secretly sent shadow guards to protect him, and Shuang'er was among them.

Prince Liang left the meeting address at his mansion. The guards removed the seal on the door and let Queen Tao go in alone.

There was no one in the house, and the grass had grown a little, making it look a bit desolate. Even in broad daylight, it could still give people a sense of gloom.

Tao Yanyan knew that someone was protecting him secretly, so he walked around boldly and observed the terrain.

The area outside Prince Liang's mansion had been cleared and the streets were empty. Tao Yanyan had no idea how Prince Liang had managed to get in. When she saw him standing not far from her, she was slightly stunned.

"What's wrong? After not seeing you for so long, Her Majesty, don't you recognize me?" Prince Liang's voice came. Tao Yanyan calmed down and said calmly, "If you look closely, you can still see some grace. But the prince's outfit is really confusing."

King Liang shaved his head and wore monk's clothes, looking like a Buddhist disciple. No wonder the officers and soldiers couldn't find him after searching for so long, it turned out that he had changed his clothes.

"Where is Prince Jing?" Tao Yanyan looked around and did not see anyone else except Prince Liang, and could not help but frowning.

Prince Liang curled his lips and smiled: "I will naturally take you to see Prince Jing, but before that, I have to check whether you have any poison with you. Haha, I still remember the last time you drugged me."

As King Liang spoke, he walked closer step by step, covering his mouth and nose with a cloth to prevent being poisoned again.

Tao Yanyan snorted coldly, "You're already on guard. I wouldn't be stupid enough to do the same thing a second time. Your Highness is a martial artist, and I'm just a weak woman. There's no need to be so cautious."

Although King Liang also felt that Queen Tao would not repeat the same trick, he was cautious and still checked it again.

"Hey, where are you putting your hands?" Tao Yanyan said unhappily.

Prince Liang was pulling up her wrist, lifting her sleeve, and seeing a piece of white and tender arm.

"The weather is hot and the clothes are thin. Don't go too far!" Tao Yanyan shook off his hand and took a step back.

Prince Liang smiled wickedly: "There are only you and me in this mansion. Can you resist what I want to do?" After saying that, he took a step forward and wanted to search me again.

Tao Yanyan immediately pulled out the hairpin and pressed it against Prince Liang's chest: "If you touch me again, I will pierce your heart and make a bloody hole. Do you believe it?"

King Liang looked at the beauty so close to him, then lowered his head to look at the pointed hairpin and snorted coldly: "Okay, I'll let you go for now." He bent down and whispered in Tao Yanyan's ear: "When we get to a safe place, I'll play with you again."

Tao Yanyan frowned, and was suddenly pulled by him and quickly led into the study.

The shadow guards sensed something was wrong and immediately rushed in, but they couldn't see the two men in the room.

"Oh no, there's a secret passage, find it quickly!"

Yingyi, Yinger, Shuang'er and the others quickly started searching the house.

As for Tao Yanyan, she didn't expect that there was such a secret place in Prince Liang's Mansion. There was a secret passage under the chair in the study. The two of them sat on the chair, pressed the switch, and fell into the secret passage within seconds. The chair closed quickly, and no trace could be seen.

"Did you enter Prince Liang's Mansion through the secret passage?" Tao Yanyan finally knew how this person suddenly appeared in the mansion and couldn't help asking.

"Hmph, your people are really useless. They sealed off Prince Liang's Mansion for such a long time but still couldn't find the secret passage. This gave me an opportunity to take advantage of." Prince Liang said excitedly as he pulled Tao Yanyan through the secret passage.

"Only people with evil intentions would go to such great lengths to set up so many schemes. We normal people wouldn't go through so many twists and turns as you do." Tao Yanyan was a little worried about his current situation. Yingyi and Shuang'er hadn't caught up with him, and he was now isolated and helpless.

King Liang ignored the teasing and mockery in her words and pulled her into a secret room where there were several large boxes. King Liang found a piece of cloth, opened the box, and took out more than thirty gold bars from it, and put them all into the package.

The golden light dazzled Tao Yanyan so much that he couldn't take his eyes off it.

"Hey, are these boxes of yours all gold? So much?" It seems that they have looted a lot before. Even after clearing out so much, there is still some left!

Prince Liang glared at her and said, "If you hadn't destroyed the Yixing Hall that I worked so hard to build, in a few decades, I would have been the richest man in the Great Zhou."

The "richest man," King Liang, said no more. He found another package, opened another box, took out a stack of banknotes and put it in. Then he threw the package to Tao Yanyan and said, "Put it on your back."

This package is full of silver bills. It doesn't weigh much, but there are so many of them that it's probably worth tens of thousands of taels.

Tao Yanyan did not object and followed his example by tying the package around himself.

The two began to shuttle through the secret passage again. Tao Yanyan looked carefully and found that there were no extra forks in this secret passage. If Ying Yi and the others caught up with them, at least they would not go astray.

To buy time, Tao Yanyan lamented, "You still have a lot of boxes in your secret room. You're not taking any of them? Won't they get moldy if they're left down there, and won't be useful in the future?"

Prince Liang walked ahead and said in a muffled voice, "Once I leave the capital, I will naturally send someone to take it. Don't even think about taking the gold. After all, you won't have the chance to come back."

Tao Yanyan choked and pretended to be afraid, "Why, do you want to kill me?"

Prince Liang paused for a moment. This thought had crossed his mind, especially when he was imprisoned and his entire mansion was ransacked. He wished he could kill Queen Tao with a single blow.

But when he saw her again, and saw that she appeared alone in Prince Liang's mansion as requested in the letter, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Such a beautiful woman, whose every frown and smile can touch people's hearts, it seems such a pity to kill her like this.

Without waiting for King Liang's answer, Tao Yanyan's whole body was cold, and he was frantically thinking of ways to save himself.

"I won't kill you, but you can't go back." It took a long time before he received a reply from King Liang. Only then did Tao Yanyan confirm that he would not die for the time being.

The two walked for a long time and finally saw a ray of light. Tao Yanyan raised his hand to cover his eyes to avoid being hurt by the sunlight.

This was a dilapidated temple. Tao Yanyan couldn't tell the direction and didn't know where it was in the city.

After entering the dilapidated temple, she saw a man with his head wrapped like a mummy, tied to a pillar in the dilapidated temple. When the man heard someone coming in, he hurriedly said, "Woo, woo, woo..." But his mouth was blocked by a piece of rag and he could not speak.

"This is...Prince Jing?" Tao Yanyan asked first. She looked at Prince Liang in disbelief and asked, "What did you do to him?"

Prince Jing obviously saw Tao Yanyan, and he became excited: "Woo, woo." Run away quickly, don't come to replace me!

Prince Liang put down the package, checked his surroundings, and then untied the ropes on Prince Jing.

"Don't make any noise, both of you. I'll take you away when night falls."

Tao Yanyan said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't we agree to trade me for him? Why don't you keep your word?"

King Liang curled his lips and said, "All is fair in war. This only shows that you are too stupid."

Tao Yanyan was almost mad with anger. She glared at Prince Liang fiercely. There was nothing she could do but go check on Prince Jing's injuries. She gasped in shock.
