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

"Now it seems that this is the case."

Tao Yao smiled helplessly and said, "As for you, why don't you tell me in detail how you were kidnapped by Qinglongwu and brought here? We can analyze it and see if there is any way to break out."

At this point, Shi Lanxin turned her face away, looking a little embarrassed: "She was kidnapped, so what's there to say?"

Tao Yao continued, "Where were you kidnapped? Was it one person or a group of people who kidnapped you? Do you remember what they looked like? Were you transported from the capital to this desolate wilderness by horse-drawn carriage, ox-drawn cart, or mule-drawn cart?"

Tao Yao poured out these questions in one go, like pouring water from a bucket. Lan Xin felt a little dizzy when she asked them. She said in a muffled voice, "I... stop asking these nonsense questions. If we figure this out, will we be able to get out? You... you... your hands and feet are not tied, why don't you untie me first? This is the most important thing."

Sometimes Tao Yao really wanted to open Shi Lanxin's head to see what was inside. She was very quick-witted when he was bullying and plotting against her on weekdays, but when it came to this critical moment, she was as stupid as a pig.

Tao Yao spread her hands and said helplessly and regretfully, "You can see that my legs are crippled. It's hard for me to even crawl, let alone stand up. You were tied up so high, I couldn't untie you even if I wanted to."

She paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "I'll help you sort out your thoughts. The questions I asked just now weren't nonsense. First, if we find out where you were kidnapped, we can determine how many miles away from the capital we are, and also determine the whereabouts of the perpetrators. Second, we need to find out what your kidnappers look like, so we can easily describe them to the authorities after we escape. Third, if we find out whether you were brought here by horse-drawn carriage, ox-drawn cart, or mule-drawn cart, we can also determine the perpetrators' status and wealth..."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Shi Lanxin was impatient and had a slow mind. She simply could not listen to Shi Taoyao's long analysis. She felt that it sounded like Tang Monk chanting scriptures, which was very painful, and finally she could not help but interrupt her.

"Actually, it's all my fault..." Shi Lanxin's face showed a rare trace of guilt, "I shouldn't have agreed to those people..."

Tao Yao was completely confused: "What? Promise what? Who?"

Shi Lanxin said reluctantly: "Those people said that this method can help me test Brother Xiao Chu's sincerity..."

Tao Yao suddenly realized and asked in surprise, "You mean, your kidnappers told you that by kidnapping you and then sending a threatening message to Prince Yi, they were testing whether he would come to rescue you, using this method to test his sincerity?"

Shi Lanxin also knew that she had been deceived, and she looked a little embarrassed: "Yes. Even if this method is a bit extreme, didn't Brother Xiaochu still come? The facts prove that Brother Xiaochu still cares about me..."

"You are really stupid, very, very stupid, very, very stupid."

Tao Yao interrupted Shi Lanxin with a sneer.

"To use your own life to test a man's sincerity, I think you are not only stupid, but also mentally ill, seriously ill. Do you think this is just a child playing house? You just saw that the woman was carrying real swords and guns. What if Prince Yi didn't come? Are you really confident that you can return home alive?"

Shi Lanxin's face flushed red. From childhood to adulthood, Shi Taoyao dared not say anything against her words, but now Taoyao dared to accuse her.

Although she had no reason to speak, Shi Lanxin was still filled with anger at what Tao Yao said. She shouted angrily, "Even if Brother Xiaochu didn't come, my father would come to save me! I am the daughter of General Zhenbei. Anyone who dares to touch me will lose their head! You were born in a lowly family, so you naturally don't understand. I am confident in my heart, so I am not afraid of anything!"

Tao Yao was at a loss for words. Things had come to this point, but the spoiled young lady still couldn't figure out who had fallen into this dire predicament. She was too lazy to argue with Shi Lanxin anymore.

"Hey, let me ask you."

Tao Yao raised her head and looked at Shi Lanxin - she was actually very beautiful, but she always had a frown on her face, looking ferocious, and her delicate features were squeezed like a caterpillar, which made people ignore her beauty.

"Is your little brother Chu really that good?"

Shi Lanxin suddenly became like an enraged wild cat, baring her teeth and claws at Tao Yao: "You are not allowed to call him that!"

Tao Yao asked again: "What is so good about him that is worth you risking your life for him? Is it because he is a prince and you want to marry him and become the prince's consort and queen in the future? ... Or is it because he is very rich and you will have no worries about food and clothing if you follow him, and you will have endless wealth and glory in your life? Or is it..."

"Bah!" Shi Lanxin couldn't help but spit at Tao Yao again, and said with a firm look: "How can I let these material things desecrate the love I have for Brother Xiao Chu! I like Brother Xiao Chu, and when I like someone, I naturally think everything about him is the best... Humph, forget it, there's nothing to say to a fool like you, you won't understand even if I tell you!"

Tao Yao spread her hands and said, "I don't understand. I just think you have too many good days and are bored, so you can come up with these life-threatening tricks just for love. As for me, as long as I can have a full meal and a good sleep, I don't ask for anything else."

Shi Lanxin rolled her eyes and scolded Tao Yao for having no ambition.

"Brother Xiao Chu will never fall for a woman like you!"

Tao Yao almost laughed out loud when she heard this: "Shi Lanxin, so you're still secretly competing with me? Don't worry, I have no interest in your little brother Chu, and I don't expect him to be interested in me. Besides, what's there to be happy about being liked by a man like him who's so rude, cunning, and cunning? If it were me, I'd run away."

Shi Lanxin, who was deeply in love with Chu Huanjun, heard Tao Yao use the three words "rude", "cheating", and "cunning" to belittle her lover. She almost wished that a burst of wild power could burst out from her body and blow the hemp ropes on her body and the big banyan tree behind her to pieces.

Unfortunately, she had no divine powers, so she could only hysterically cry out in defense of her beloved: "Shi Taoyao, you're crazy! Do you know who you're talking about? What's with being rude and cunning? That's called being eloquent, flexible, clever, and smart!"

It has been so long, but there has never been a situation like today, where Shi Lanxin could only be furious but couldn't beat Tao Yao. Tao Yao was very happy in his heart, and wanted to take this opportunity to play a good trick on Shi Lanxin.

So, Tao Yao imitated Chu Huanjun's expression in his memory, sneered lightly, and said in a muffled voice, "Flower-crazy - I hate flower-crazy people the most. If you know what's good for you, please get out of here quickly."

Shi Lanxin was indeed enraged by these words. Sparks seemed to be shooting out of her eyes, and her front teeth were clenched loudly: "Shi Taoyao! You are dead!!!"
