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

"Bullshit!"

The woman interrupted Tao Yao and said, "I've been asking around these past few days and I've heard that you've already moved into Prince Yi's mansion and even into his room!"

Tao Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she slapped her forehead in frustration. Suddenly, she remembered the falcon she saw in the courtyard that day. Couldn't that have been Lu Che's doing?

"Oh, sister, you... you're so thorough in your research... Could it be that you have some close confidants in Prince Yi's mansion?"

"Stop playing these tricks on me and try to get words out of me. No way."

Tao Yao carefully looked at the woman from head to toe again - she was dressed in white, tall and thin, with an upright posture and extraordinary temperament. Even if her face could not be seen clearly, it could be seen that she was a beauty.

In the capital, only the singing and dancing actresses in Chunfeng Tower, who have both superb looks and skills, can be compared with a beauty like this. Even An Jingshuang, who is currently the most popular, may be a little inferior to her.

Seeing that she kept saying that she was thinking about Chu Huanjun, I was afraid that Chu Huanjun, a playboy with a thick skin than a city wall, had incurred some romantic debt in order to fulfill some great wish of his.

This peach blossom debt didn't find the real person, but found her instead.

"My dear sister, what you inquired about is indeed correct. I have indeed been staying at Prince Yi's residence for the past few days, but there are other reasons for this. The relationship between the prince and me is pure and innocent. It is not the kind of love between a man and a woman that you think...

My dear sister, this injustice has its perpetrators. If Prince Yi owes you anything, you should ask him for it. Don't try to catch fish in a tree, which will be in vain..."

Tao Yao tried her best to persuade and explain, hoping that this would make the woman let her go.

"My dear sister, since you have such a great ability to see and hear everything, you must also know that I have an older sister at home. My sister is deeply in love with the prince. How could I, as a younger sister, compete with my sister for a man? It is impossible both logically and emotionally, don't you think?"

Before Tao Yao could finish her words, the woman suddenly raised her hand, tore off a piece of cloth from the air, tied it tightly around her lips, and covered her mouth.

The woman pinched Tao Yao's chin impatiently and threatened in a cold tone, "I won't kill you now because I still have some use for you. If you keep arguing and make me unhappy, I can put the knife to your neck at any time."

As she spoke, she gently stroked the skin on Taoyao's neck with her cold fingers. It was cold and itchy, as if a poisonous snake was crawling over it.

Tao Yao was so frightened that she fell silent, because she saw a cold light flashing on the woman's waist, and there was indeed a dagger hanging on it.

"Come with me."

In this way, the woman put the knife on Taoyao's neck, dragged the wheelchair, and made several turns among the drapes, finally reaching the end.

At the end of the clothes drying yard hung a very large piece of white cloth, with two coiled and flying green dragons embroidered in the middle of the gauze.

Tao Yao looked at the Azure Dragon totem and suddenly understood something—Qinglongwu?!

The woman pulled out the dagger from her waist, turned it in her hand, and as her snow-white sleeves fluttered, the blade instantly cut through the huge cloth, leaving a long crack.

However, there was no road behind the crack, only a dark and deep cave. Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, the sunlight could not penetrate into the bottomless cave.

Tao Yao just took a look and felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

The woman pushed Taoyao over and guided Taoyao to look into the cave.

As soon as Tao Yao approached the cave entrance, he felt that cold air was constantly leaking out of the cave, and there was also a constant smell of decay.

Tao Yao only took a glance inside and saw several piles of eerie white bones at the entrance of the cave, which frightened Tao Yao so much that she shrank all over.

Tao Yao covered her eyes and begged for mercy from the woman with her fists clasped. The woman twisted her fist and exerted force with her fingertips, almost digging her nails into the skin on the back of Tao Yao's hand.

"Shi Taoyao, you're right. It's not enough to just capture you, so I captured your good sister as well."

As the woman spoke, she pulled off the piece of cloth tied around Taoyao's mouth.

Tao Yao choked on his breath, ignoring the pain in his chest. He grabbed the woman's arm, coughing violently and anxiously asking, "Are you from Qinglongwu?!"

The woman sneered again, gently lifted Tao Yao's chin, and said word by word, "Didn't I just tell you? There's no need to be so anxious to know my origins. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."

After she said that, she walked around behind Tao Yao, slowly put her hands on Tao Yao's shoulders, and slowly combed Tao Yao's hair that was draped over her shoulders.

"Hmm, very soft and beautiful. Once upon a time, he loved to praise my hair the most." The woman murmured as she buried her head in Taoyao's hair. She sniffed it and said softly, "It smells so good. It's the pinewood incense that only Prince Yi's Mansion has."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman exerted force with both hands and pushed Tao Yao to the ground.

"Humph, you, a yellow-haired girl, are so lucky to have won the favor of the prince. I just don't know if you will still be able to enjoy this blessing after today."

The woman placed one foot on Tao Yao's back and kicked her three times, ruthlessly. Tao Yao gritted her teeth, feeling a sharp pain in her knee, which hadn't fully healed yet. The pain was so severe that a layer of cold sweat instantly covered her forehead.

The pain caused by broken bones is not the same as minor injuries and pains. The pain is like an overwhelming tide that drowns Tao Yao in an instant. She can't breathe and feels like she is about to suffocate.

When Tao Yao was on the verge of coma, a familiar cry suddenly came into her ears.

"Shi Taoyao! Why are you here?! Why are you here?!"

There was a hint of disbelief, disgust, and despair in the hurried and anxious tone.

Although Tao Yao was almost losing consciousness due to the pain, she immediately recognized that it was Shi Lanxin.

Tao Yao felt the foot on her, which exerted force again, kicking her aside like a ball. She felt like a beast without dignity, rolling in the mud somewhere, staining her newly changed clean clothes.

"Hmph, you sisters, why don't you just chat about family matters first? Stay here until I come back. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for throwing you into this cave... I think you should know what will happen if you enter this cave."

The woman snorted coldly and walked away like a gust of wind.

Tao Yao raised her head and saw Shi Lanxin tied up to the trunk of a big banyan tree. Her face turned pale and blue, and she looked at her in extreme surprise.

"Why, are you disappointed that I came?" Tao Yao replied with a weak breath, forcing a smile on her pale face. "Didn't Dad come to see you? Where is he?"

Shi Lanxin turned her head away and said, "I don't know."

Tao Yao sneered, gritted his teeth and climbed out of the mud. He barely raised half of his body and stumbled to the big banyan tree. He sat down against the tree, sighed deeply, and said:

"Shi Lanxin, we're now tied to the same rope. You need to understand the situation. This is a den of bandits, and it can't compare to your comfortable and comfortable old Shi Mansion. I advise you to put aside your status as a young lady and work with me to find a way to escape from this place."

Shi Lanxin spat at Tao Yao and said disdainfully, "They said they've already sent a letter to Prince Yi's Mansion... Someone will definitely come to rescue me."

Hearing this, Tao Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter and said with a wry smile, "You're not expecting Prince Yi to come and rescue you, are you?"

Tao Yao's words exposed Shi Lanxin's worries, causing her face to flush red. She turned around and shouted, "Anyway, it's none of your business!"

Tao Yao sighed and said, "You still don't understand the situation. What do you mean by 'I don't need to care'? Do you think I want to care? If I had known it was you who was imprisoned here, I wouldn't have bothered to even look at you even if that woman had chopped you into pieces! To tell you the truth, the prince did come, and I came with him, as did my father and my wife. It's just that I got separated from them and was brought here by that woman."

Shi Lanxin finally woke up from her dream and turned around, her eyes filled with clear stupidity as she asked, "Lost...you guys are separated? What should we do?! They won't be able to find us, right?!"
