Chapter 98
Tao Yao lay down for a while, couldn't help but propped herself up, and looked towards the window.

A tall man stood with his arms behind his back, and the cool summer night wind blew a few strands of his long hair.

Tall and tall, noble and cool.

Tao Yao lay on the pillow, admired it for a while, and then lay back down again.

She woke up too early this morning, and she is already tired now.

She thought she would not be able to fall asleep, but it didn't take long before she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When Lu Jiuyuan heard the girl's soft breathing, he turned around and glanced, and when he saw Tao Yao's cute sleeping appearance, the corners of his lips twitched.

After his hair was completely dry, he turned around and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down.

Maybe it was hot, when Tao Yao who was sleeping soundly kicked the quilt suddenly.

The loose trousers were pulled up, revealing a white and pink calf, and the white and round toes stretched cutely...

Lu Jiuyuan paused, looked away, and stretched out his hand to put the quilt gently on the girl's abdomen.

After leaving the two lamps in front of the bed, he lay down on the outside of the bed.

He was nearly thirty years old, but he had never had the experience of sleeping with a girl.

After lying down, it was not as difficult to adapt as he imagined.

On the contrary, just listening to the soft breathing of the girl beside him made him feel satisfied, and there was a softness in his heart that he couldn't understand.

The bed curtains were dim, and the fragrance of the girl's body became more and more clearly audible, even if he wanted to ignore it, it was hard for him.

Unable to bear it, he turned his head and looked at the sleeping girl's face on the bed.

The sleeping girl was unbelievably well-behaved, with butterfly-like eyelashes hanging softly on her eyelids, a neat nose, a bright red mouth, and jet-black hair that covered the pillow...

Lu Jiuyuan pursed his dry lips, and suddenly remembered the kiss in Tao's garden...

He rolled his Adam's apple, and restrained himself from looking away.

Now is not the time...

He didn't want to scare her.

……

Tao Yao had a good night's sleep.

When she woke up the next day, Lu Jiuyuan was already gone. She thought he only stayed for a while last night before leaving, and didn't take it to heart.

Until Xi'er came in and was making the bed, when she saw the handkerchief she had crumpled and thrown aside, she asked, "Miss, why didn't you and the Duke last night..."

Having said that, she unfolded her clean and tidy veil and looked at her in puzzlement.

Tao Yao was taken aback, "Didn't he leave after last night?"

Xi'er was surprised, "The Duke just left at dawn."

Tao Yao: "..."

"Miss fell asleep first?" Xi'er asked in amazement.

Tao Yao felt guilty for a moment, "I was too tired, so I fell asleep..."

Xi'er sighed, and said with a look of resentment: "It was such a good opportunity last night, miss, you actually..."

"Big deal, I'll ask him to come over tonight...uh, let's sleep together." Tao Yao blurted out.

Xi'er heard this, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be."

Tao Yao: "..."

However, Lu Jiuyuan was really in her room all night last night?
Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to the position outside the bed.

As long as she thought of Lu Jiuyuan sleeping next to her last night, she would feel a strange feeling in her heart.

However, she didn't feel Lu Jiuyuan's existence at all.

She was so fast asleep!

She secretly spurned herself.

When I went to Fushoutang to greet the old lady, the old lady took her hand and said with a smile: "If you are too tired, you don't have to come here, you can sleep more."

Tao Yao didn't understand the meaning of her words at first, but when she realized it, her face burned.

Especially when she saw Wang Shi and Qin Shi covering their mouths and laughing, she was even more embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, everyone knew about Lu Jiuyuan staying in her yard last night.

But who would believe that she did nothing with Lu Jiuyuan last night?
For a moment, she was speechless.

The old lady just thought she was shy, she smiled for a while, then changed the subject and said: "By the way, the medicine you gave to Lao Jiu last time, has he finished it?"

Tao Yao froze for a moment before remembering, "I don't know..."

The old lady was startled, then frowned, and said worriedly: "This can't work, Lao Jiu's wounds on the battlefield in the early years need to be treated with medicine, you have to watch him take it, otherwise he will just turn around and forget about it." .”

When Tao Yao heard the words, she nodded and agreed, "Go back, I will remind him to eat."

"You have to stare at him and eat it." The old lady urged.

"Understood." Tao Yao nodded,

The old lady held her hand and patted it with satisfaction, "Lao Jiu's body will be taken care of by you."

Tao Yao felt a little weird when she heard it, but she couldn't put it into words.

……

The study room of the Hall of Reaching Stars.

Wu Ze was reporting to Lu Jiuyuan about the assassin last night.

"...The assassin was very hard-headed. At first he refused to reveal who was behind the scenes, but when he couldn't bear it later, he revealed that the third prince had sent them here."

"Third prince?" Lu Jiuyuan paused, his black eyes narrowed slightly, "It can't be him!"

Wu Ze was taken aback, "You mean the assassin lied?"

Lu Jiuyuan pondered: "It's not necessarily that the assassins are lying, maybe the person who assigned them the task misled him."

Wu Ze frowned, "You mean someone deliberately framed the Third Prince? But who did it?"

Lu Jiuyuan didn't speak, but coldness flashed across his eyes. Recently, several princes in the court had the intention of wooing him, especially Concubine Zhang Gui.

However, among the few princes, the third prince and the fifth prince are quite powerful, and they often trip each other up in private.

So this time the assassin confessed that it was the third prince, maybe it wasn't the fifth prince who deliberately slandered and framed him.

"Continue to investigate!" After a long time, he ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." Wu Ze replied and went down.

After Tao Yao came out of Fushoutang, she took Xi'er out of the mansion, intending to visit Tao's house.

Tao Qian was too drunk last night, she was a little worried and wanted to go and have a look.

However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he met Lu Hao leading in a boy with a dirty face who was about his age.

Seeing her, Lu Hao's eyes lit up, he pulled the child and ran over, "Aunt Jiu, this brother is so pitiful, please give him something to eat."

"Xiaohao, you..." Tao Yao was about to speak, when suddenly the boy broke free from Lu Hao's hand, rushed over and hugged her leg tightly, "Mother..."

Tao Yao was shocked, looked down at him, and stammered, "You, what did you call me?"

The child's face was covered with mud, only a pair of eyes, very bright and clean.

He looked at her seriously, then shook his head, "No, you are not my mother..."

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

It scared her to death. She thought that such a dramatic thing happened to her.

But think about it, the original owner is only 15 years old this year, even if the original owner secretly gave birth to a child with someone else, it is impossible for the original owner to be that old.

"Brother, are you hungry and stupid? This is my ninth aunt, not your mother." Lu Hao frowned and said a little angrily.

"I'm hungry..." the little boy said aggrievedly with his mouth flattened.
