Even though Old Fifteen was still young, he had already begun to practice martial arts. This was not a light blow. Zhuo Tao's leg suddenly hurt, and she staggered two steps back. She was about to fly into a rage when she heard the stern rebuke of the fifteenth prince, and immediately lowered his head.

"Fifteenth Prince, this servant doesn't dare to act so wildly. It's just that this little girl is too stupid. This servant was afraid that she would hurt Your Highness, so I taught her a lesson!"

"Get up!" Old Fifteen looked at Zhuo Tao in annoyance. He didn't say that she spent all day with Third Bro, but Eighth Brother would bring him here to look for Third Brother every few days. She had also vaguely heard about this Zhuo Tao from Third Brother's and Eighth Brother's conversation. "I know who gave her to Third Bro, and I also know that she often bullies others." This prince does not need your service, you can go back now. "

That night, the princess had kicked her so hard that her face was bruised and swollen that the prince pretended not to see it. But today, the prince wanted to humiliate her!

Despite feeling wronged, Zhuo Tao still secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She promised softly and left the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhuo Tao was clearly not willing to accept it, yet she acted so respectful, Old Eight could not help but smile.

"Third brother, if second brother knew that the little girl he sent in had feelings for you, I wonder what he would feel."

Ling Yexuan smiled slightly.

"She wasn't sent in by second brother. She was sent in by Imperial Concubine. Even if she's in the wrong, it's not related to second brother at all! "

For the entire day, Zhuo Tao was half-dead from exhaustion. Even though Ming Liu was very polite when she was going to hand over her clothes, and did not have the slightest bit of arrogance in her attitude, her heart was still tight with awkwardness. It was not easy to clean all the rooms in Qinxin. The little girl had lived in a good house before, and the hardest things to clean were the few rooms that had not been occupied in a long time.

His Royal Highness said, until Empress was satisfied. She was very clear in her heart that she had offended the Empress on the night of her grand wedding. When he felt that he had cleaned up enough, he rested in Qinxin. Fortunately, the Qinxin had water and leftover pastries, and was not hungry or thirsty. It was just that she hadn't eaten anything extra for many years, and she was always feeling uncomfortable.

It wasn't until dusk did Zhuo Tao finally return to the main courtyard. She had originally wanted to return to Qin Nuo, but she saw that Ming Liu, Ying He, Bi Tao, the little girl Qing Luo were all standing outside, quietly conversing with Qingfeng and a few other little lass. Zhuo Tao's heart could not help but ache. Normally, she was the one who ordered others to do so, but now it was even better than this.

Even though everyone was still very polite when they saw her, she still felt that she couldn't keep a straight face and didn't have a smile on her face.

"Sister Zhuo Tao!" Seeing that Zhuo Tao was about to enter the house, Ming Liu called out to him. The Prince and Empress were currently eating, saying that there was no need for anyone to serve them. "

Zhuo Tao was stunned.

When the prince was having his meals, other than the few of them who served him, he also had a concubine by his side. But after the Empress came, although the Prince allowed her to go to the Qinxin, he never asked her to serve meals with him again. Only when there were guests did he call the girl in to serve meals.

Moreover, he had always slept alone.

He never thought that Empress would become his sole pet! Then, Second Miss of the Wei Guo Mansion … Zhuo Tao's brows slightly twitched, and her eyes flickered between darkness and light. Without saying a word, she turned and walked out.

Seeing Zhuo Tao silently retreating, Qing Shuang could not bear to do so. She quickly glanced at Ming Liu and followed him out.

"Lü Dongbin was bitten by a dog?" Ming Liu asked while giggling and looking at Qing Shuang who was biting her lips. Ying He secretly pulled on Ming Liu's sleeves and lowered her voice. Be careful not to let her listen in. "

Everyone was often together, and everyone knew who had what temper they had. Although Qing Shuang and Zhuo Tao had a good relationship, she would not talk big about Zhuo Tao, but the others might not!

Ming Liu slightly pursed her lips and did not speak any further.

Inside the room, Ling Yexuan and the rest were eating and observing Qin Nuo. This so called young miss of the Qin family, although he was usually rather rude, he could not help but kick Zhuo Tao, and even kicked Ol 'Eight to submit, but he was very gentle when eating, and had the air of a lady from a noble family.

"Use more!" Ling Yexuan said, as he scooped up half a bowl of red date porridge and placed it in front of Qin Nuo. "Don't come to the prince's mansion for a few days. It's much weaker than before, and when others saw it, they thought that I had mistreated you."

"Thank you!" Qin Nuo took it over with a smile. He hadn't thought that this perverse person would occasionally have the demeanor of a gentleman!

Ling Yexuan was startled, and swallowed the ridiculing words that followed.

Qin Nuo finished the porridge bit by bit, but when she saw Ling Yexuan's appearance, she did not seem to be able to finish it.

"Wait, Zhuo Tao will talk back and forth. Do you need me to be an evil person?"

"No need!" Ling Yexuan answered simply. As long as esteemed wangfei doesn't forget to have deep feelings for this duke, that's fine! "

Seeing Qin Nuo's eyes flash, he continued expressionlessly.

"Just treat it as you thanking me for the porridge."

Qin Nuo immediately glared at Ling Yexuan, for her to praise him in his heart, and everything was exposed in such a short time! The battle for the throne indeed had to be fought step by step, but since you've done such a good thing, how could you possibly die under any inappropriate conditions?

Zhuo Tao returned to her own room, and washed her face and rinsed her mouth inside and out, then ordered the kitchen to send him some porridge, after eating two mouthfuls, she slowly walked towards the main house.

Ming Liu had already ordered people to remove the table, and the little lass had entered to clean up, so there was nothing left for them to do. Just as Ming Liu was thinking to herself, the people who were left to guard the night sky had already dispersed. But Zhuo Tao had always been the one to make the arrangements, even though the prince had punished Zhuo Tao, he did not say anything, and did not dare to take the initiative to make the decision, since it was not too late, he waited.

Seeing Zhuo Tao come in, even the little lass was slightly convinced, and hid to the side.

Seeing that, Qing Luo also retreated two steps back, her eyes lowered. In the few days at Qinxin, she had heard recounting the details in detail to her about how "difficult it was to write and write" the past. However, because of that trivial matter in the morning, she had to stay far away from the assailant and the person who was being pinched.

Zhuo Tao walked straight in without even looking at the little lass, and stopped by the door and asked loudly.

"Prince and Empress, have you rested?"

Seeing that Zhuo Tao had regained her arrogance in front of the lass so quickly, Ming Liu could not help but pout her lips, and did not say a word.

"You haven't rested yet." Ying He replied in a low voice. Just now, the Prince ordered for you to meet him when you came back! "

Zhuo Tao coldly snorted to Ying He as she turned her head around and changed the tone of her voice to one of gentleness and obedience.

"Your Highness! Empress! This servant, Zhuo Tao, requests an audience. " She didn't need those lass to report, who knew how they were laughing at her in their hearts! They were all acting well, but it was unknown what was hidden deep in their bones!

When he didn't hear anything, Zhuo Tao pushed the door open and entered. Seeing that the Duke and Princess were sitting down to drink some tea, he slightly toned himself.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Your Highness, this servant has already cleaned up Qinxin! I ask that the Prince and the Empress send someone to take a look. If that's not possible, then this servant will continue cleaning tomorrow. " Zhuo Tao said softly.

"It's already so late, who should we send out to take a look?" Ling Yexuan said coldly. Go back and forth early tomorrow. "

When Zhuo Tao heard the two words "tomorrow", she was immediately stunned there, her respectful and obedient look could no longer be maintained. She raised her eyes and stared blankly at Ling Yexuan, thinking that she had heard wrongly.

"Don't you understand?" Ling Yexuan added, and turned his head to look at Qin Nuo, as he asked gently. "Tell me, where do you want her to clean up tomorrow?"

"I'm still not familiar with the estate." Qin Nuo smiled shyly. Tomorrow morning, the concubines will come to greet him. Why don't we have Zhuo Tao wake up earlier and clean the hall? "

"Good!" I'll listen to you! " Ling Yexuan became more gentle and did not repeat Qin Nuo's words. He only looked at the cup in his hand. Did you hear what the Empress said? "

"Yes sir!" Zhuo Tao bit her lips, revealing a wronged look.

"Meng Xin Yuan has not been cleaned in a long time. After cleaning up the side hall, you will head there! "If you want to come back so late, you can just stay there!" Ling Yexuan said as he took a sip of tea. In that cup just now, he had completely ignored Zhuo Tao's grievances. Get out! Let Ming Liu in. From then on, this king and his wife will leave everything to her. "

Zhuo Tao's face turned white, she retreated to the door and secretly glanced at Ling Yexuan. Seeing that the Prince's hand was resting on Princess Hua-Yang's hand and smiling warmly at her, Empress also had a face full of tender affection. Zhuo Tao fiercely bit her lips.

She was still hesitating. It seemed that she had to make up her mind!

Seeing that Zhuo Tao had left the door, Qin Nuo withdrew her hand without batting an eyelid, and looked at Ling Yexuan in ridicule.

"A dignified prince tormenting a girl like this, is that really okay?"
