After cleaning her face, An An asked Ping Ping to bring a basin of hot water and washed Tao Yao's hair carefully.

After washing her hair, An An and Ping Ping took advantage of the sunny afternoon and let Tao Yao sit in the courtyard to dry her hair.

Taoyao had never enjoyed such imperial concubine-level treatment - Anan took a series of nail trimming tools including scissors, files, sandpaper, and was trimming her fingernails and toenails with great care; Pingping took a can of osmanthus hair oil to care for Taoyao's freshly washed hair.

The wheelchair Chu Huanjun gave her had a secret. There was a mechanism hidden under the armrest. If she pressed it lightly, the backrest would slowly move backwards and turn it into a reclining chair.

Tao Yao lay leisurely in the wheelchair, the golden sunlight shining all over her body, making her feel warm from head to toe and extremely comfortable.

Tao Yao looked at the clear blue sky outside the courtyard patio. Occasionally, a few sparrows chirped by and she was fascinated by it. Somehow, she suddenly thought of Lu Che.

Judging from Chu Huanjun's words, the government did not arrest Lu Che.

I don’t know where he is now, what he is doing, or whether he is doing well.

It seemed like the heavens had been particularly perceptive lately, always able to hear Tao Yao's inner thoughts. Just as Tao Yao was lost in thought, a familiar figure suddenly flashed across the blue sky before her eyes. Tao Yao immediately recognized it as Lu Che's falcon.

This falcon was very cunning. Knowing that this was Prince Yi's residence, it did not dare to make any sound. It flew across the sky quietly and stealthily. If Tao Yao had not had sharp eyes, she might not have been able to spot it.

It seems that Lu Che was not caught, and he did not really abandon Tao Yao. He was still lurking in the dark and following her quietly.

Tao Yao closed her eyes, not daring to think about it anymore.

Chu Huanjun is already annoying enough for her right now, and she won’t be able to deal with Lu Che if he comes along.

Actually, although Chu Huanjun was cunning and hateful, he was still relatively gentle and easy to talk to. If Tao Yao did not agree, Chu Huanjun would probably not force her.

But Lu Che was different. He was stubborn and old-fashioned. If Chu Huanjun hadn't been there every time to help her escape, she would have been kidnapped by Lu Che and taken to some desolate village.

Therefore, Tao Yao would rather stay in Prince Yi's mansion and play dumb. If Lu Che, this tactless man, suddenly rushed out and said he wanted to take her away, don't blame her for not politely reporting it to the government.

When Tao Yao thought of this, she couldn't help but shudder in her heart, and she jumped half of her body out of the wheelchair.

An An tutted impatiently and quickly slapped Tao Yao on the shoulder, knocking her back: "Just lie still! I worked so hard to get those teardrop-shaped nails done, and you almost ruined them with just one move! If you move again, I'll beat you up."

Taoyao really obeyed and lay there quietly.

She couldn't help but wonder if Lu Che and Chu Huanjun would fight if they really met again.

The last time they met in the bamboo forest, Lu Che ran away in fear when he saw Chu Huanjun. I guess he probably didn't dare to show up easily.

I don't know what the past between Lu Che and Chu Huanjun is. This past seems to have something to do with her...

Tao Yao shook her head, trying to put all these thoughts behind her.

Now she was just like a puppet at the mercy of others. Not to mention that even something as trivial as going to the toilet was as difficult as climbing to the sky, even if Chu Huanjun and Lu Che really wanted to make a fuss in front of her, she didn't have the energy to care about them.

Speaking of Chu Huanjun, he is like a lingering ghost. Every time she thinks of him, he will immediately appear in front of her, which always scares Tao Yao to death. She suspects that Chu Huanjun has secretly used some evil magic and placed a ghost behind her so that he can know everything she thinks.

At that time, Tao Yao was looking up at the sky, and Chu Huanjun's lazy and affectionate voice came to her ears.

"Oh? I thought you were someone who enjoyed life so much—you live a much more comfortable life than me, the master of the palace."

Before Chu Huanjun finished speaking, An An and Ping Ping were startled and flew to him like two frightened sparrows, prostrating themselves before him.

"Your Highness, please understand! We only gave the girl a little tidying up, but it's definitely not even one ten-thousandth as much care and attention as you give to Your Highness!"

Poor Tao Yao couldn't move and could only lie there blankly, waiting for the bad guy Chu Huanjun to come and laugh at her.

Sure enough, after a while, the face that looked innocent and kind but always had an evil smile with ambiguous meaning slowly came into view, and Tao Yao also gave him an awkward smile.

Tao Yao clearly heard Chu Huanjun's deliberate coughing to hide his laughter, as well as his voice, which was obviously unstable due to the laughter: "You are like this, which is really rare."

Tao Yao then remembered that her face was covered with nearly ten kinds of strange ointments in bright red and green. Except for the two holes that An An had kindly left for her eyes, the rest of her mouth, nose and ears were all covered tightly with those hateful ointments, leaving no gaps at all.

There is no doubt that she looks extremely funny now.

An An reported earnestly, "Your Highness Prince Yi, I noticed that the young lady has too many pimples and acne on her face. I was worried that you might not like it, so I urgently took care of it for her. These are all the finest skin care ointments I have in my collection. I guarantee that after using them, the young lady will look radiant and transformed!"

Chu Huanjun fanned himself with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Great! There will be a huge reward!"

When An An heard the word "reward", his eyes lit up with excitement. He rushed back to Tao Yao, picked up the scissors and file, and started working even harder.

Tao Yao was in great pain from being scratched by the sharp armor-scraping knives. Since she couldn't make any sound, she couldn't cry out in pain, so she had to scratch the ground desperately with her free hand.

Tao Yao gritted her teeth and thought to herself that Chu Huanjun must be deliberately trying to tease her and make her laugh.

Sure enough, although this person looks kind and benevolent like a bodhisattva or immortal, he must be an extremely evil ghost in his heart.

The polite and apologetic attitude just now disappeared without a trace in a short while.

Tao Yao howled inwardly: What else is there? Just bring it on! She was in such a state now that she didn't care about making things worse.

When Chu Huanjun said the next words, Tao Yao became even more certain that there was a ghost behind this.

"I have good news for you. Do you still remember Fuxiangzhai? I bought Fuxiangzhai from Yunqing, and I was thinking about who to take over as the boss. Suddenly, it occurred to me that Xiaotao is the right person.

Let's put it this way, Xiao Tao, when your voice has recovered in a few days, I will take you to Fu Xiang Zhai to have a look, and by the way, announce the news that you are taking over Fu Xiang Zhai to the store staff."

Tao Yao was shocked. What? Let her be the boss of Fuxiangzhai?
