Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

After listening to Chu Huanjun's explanation, Tao Yao's mind gradually became clearer.

Chu Huanjun must have known about the collusion between Zhou Yan and Zuo Di a long time ago, and he had already set up a chess game, a game that could kill two birds with one stone by arresting both Zhou Yan and Zuo Di at the same time.

She was not originally in his plan. Unfortunately, Shi Yiqian was anxious to find a marriage for her and accidentally facilitated her marriage with Zhou Yan.

Chu Huanjun took advantage of the situation and included Tao Yao as a chess piece in this game.

Chu Huanjun has always been very confident, so he was confident that even if he pushed Tao Yao into this situation, he would be able to keep her safe.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao took a breath of cold air.

Perhaps out of pity, Chu Huanjun had gone deep into the dungeon to rescue her life, a life no one cared about. He even brought her back to his own house, living in his own room, using the finest medicine, and promising to cure her.

Tao Yao thought that based on Chu Huanjun's personality, he should be more "free and easy".

After all, it's just a chess piece. It has been used, it has taken the steps it should have taken, and it has played the role it should have played. It's not a pity to throw it away.

"I know it's useless to say more now. I owe you."

Chu Huanjun turned around and restored his usual warm smile: "I promise you, this won't happen again."

Tao Yao had a blank expression on her face. She probably didn't understand what the situation was and why Chu Huanjun had to make such a promise to her.

After going through so much, Tao Yao would rather Chu Huanjun stay as far away from her as possible and not disrupt her already stagnant life.

But now, the assurances and promises he made to her acted as if he was determined to keep an eye on her for the rest of her life.

Tao Yao's heart was pounding, and she hated herself for not being able to speak. She secretly thought that when she could speak again, she would tell Chu Huanjun everything immediately, that she wanted to stay away from him, and hoped that he would know what was good for him and leave.

Thinking of what happened in the dungeon, Tao Yao couldn't help but feel the chills running down her spine. She was lucky to have escaped this time. If she got involved with Chu Huanjun again, she didn't know if she would be able to escape next time.

"For the next three months, you will stay at my house and recuperate."

Chu Huanjun stood up and pulled up all the curtains that half-covered the bed, and his vision suddenly became wider.

Unexpectedly, Chu Huanjun's bedroom was not as magnificent as Tao Yao had imagined.

Apart from the big bed he was lying on, there was a desk, a cabinet, a flower table, and two rosewood chairs in the room. There was no other furniture.

The carvings on the window porch were beautiful, and the sunlight filtering through them cast a golden painting on the floor. In front of the window stood a potted plant, and I didn't know what it was, but its vigorous, winding branches extended all the way to the window frame, and a few scattered pale pink flowers bloomed on two or three sparse branches.

At the end of the branch, there is a golden bird cage hanging.

There was a pure white bird standing in the birdcage. It was probably the mynah bird that Tao Yao had just heard about. It was tilting its head and looking at Tao Yao curiously.

The starling blinked its eyes with a cunning look, then suddenly flapped its wings twice, stretched its neck and shouted:

"Get rid of the monster! Get rid of the monster!"

Chu Huanjun grabbed a melon seed from the bedside table and threw it at the starling's head, cursing, "Idiot! Stop yelling."

It must be Chu Huanjun who taught it to call Tao Yao's name.

Tao Yao couldn't help but imagine the scene of Chu Huanjun crouching in front of the birdcage and teaching the starling word by word in person. She couldn't help but laugh, but also found it funny.

Seeing her smile, Chu Huanjun also smiled, his tone gentle: "Is there anything you want to eat? Just ask. Do you want to try Longjing tea cake?"

Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately recalled the bag of Longjing tea cakes that had fallen on the ground that day. She didn't eat any of them, but fed them all to the cat.

Tao Yao felt a little guilty and shook her head quickly like a rattle.

"It's my fault. You changed your personality after you got sick. You don't even have a craving anymore."

Chu Huanjun walked around to the end of the bed and pushed out a wheelchair.

This is the first time Tao Yao has seen this ancient wheelchair. He did not expect that the workmanship is so exquisite. In addition to the intricate carvings on the backrest and armrests, the backrest is also made with a very sophisticated arc.

The seat is covered with a thick mink cushion, and a soft pillow is thoughtfully placed on the backrest. I think it won't be uncomfortable even if you sit in this wheelchair for a whole day.

"For the next three months, you'll have to stick to this wheelchair. Do you want to try it?" Chu Huanjun's eyes were full of inquiry.

Tao Yao looked at this exquisite and beautiful wheelchair and was indeed eager to try it out, nodding repeatedly.

But she is half disabled now and can't even move her body. If she wants to sit in the wheelchair, she needs Chu Huanjun's help to carry her up.

Thinking of this, Tao Yao shook his head again and pointed to his mouth, wanting to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

Chu Huanjun placed his palm in front of Tao Yao again, and watched her clearly write the word "Huai Ling" on her palm stroke by stroke, and he immediately understood.

"Huai Ling? Are you talking about your little follower? You want her to come and serve you?"

Tao Yao nodded and looked at him eagerly.

Chu Huanjun pondered for a moment and replied, "Indeed, Huai Ling is familiar with you and understands your habits and preferences better. She is always better than the maids in my house. However, she belongs to the old Shi family after all, so it is not easy for me to just take her away. How about this, I will send someone to the Shi family in a few days to give her some gifts and invite her over."

Before he finished speaking, he leaned closer again. Before Tao Yao could react, he picked her up by the waist.

Tao Yao was gloomy. How could Chu Huanjun care less about the differences between men and women than a modern person like her? What kind of relationship were they in now? He let her live in his room and took care of her personally. I'm afraid the whole Yiwang Mansion is now full of rumors about the two of them.

After Chu Huanjun placed her safely and securely on the wheelchair, Tao Yao coughed twice and motioned for him to watch her sign language.

Chu Huanjun indeed stopped what he was doing and looked at her quietly.

Tao Yao pointed at Chu Huanjun with her index finger, then pointed at herself, and finally shook her head while making a big cross with her arms in front of her chest.

Chu Huanjun put his hands on his hips, his face full of hesitation: "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Tao Yao coughed twice more, then repeated the action again.

Chu Huanjun still had a puzzled look on his face, but he was clearly pretending to be confused. He repeated his words, "What do you mean? I don't understand."

Tao Yao knew that it was impossible for a cunning man like Chu Huanjun, who had so many tricks up his sleeve, not to understand what she meant - it was not that he didn't understand, it was obvious that he didn't want to understand.

So, Tao Yao tried his best to cough violently three times again.

Chu Huanjun looked terrified. "Could it be that there's something wrong with the medicine I boiled today that caused you to accumulate so much phlegm? Fortunately, I do know a way to help with the phlegm. Let's try it."

Tao Yao instantly understood what he meant by the method of inducing phlegm. Seeing Chu Huanjun's face suddenly enlarged in her field of vision, she panicked and slapped him in the face.

With a loud slap, he gave an extremely loud slap.

"lecher!"
