After Yeshang left the palace, His Majesty heard the conversation between Concubine Tao and Yeshang.

With a "pop" sound, the tea cup shattered on the floor.

The chamberlain knelt down tremblingly and reported. If he didn't report, he would die. If he did, he might die.

This is the fate of a slave.

His Majesty lowered his eyes, glanced at the red palm prints on the servant's cheeks, and said: "Get up." After all, he couldn't bear it anymore.

When the chamberlain heard this, his eyes moved and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had escaped a disaster today.

"How is Concubine Tao's condition?" His Majesty took a deep breath and looked outside the room. Through the sporadic light, you could see the cold air emanating from the moonlight.

The chamberlain paused and said, "The imperial doctor has stated many times that Concubine Tao's life is limited, only a month or two." The chamberlain was still worried.

When His Majesty heard this, his face did not change at all, his eyes narrowed slightly and he said: "Let the imperial doctor do his best to protect Concubine Tao for three months. If you can't save her, come and see her."

The chamberlain was so frightened that he knelt down again.

"Yes." The chamberlain was panic-stricken. The one or two months he just mentioned was mixed with water. The imperial doctor had already made it clear that Concubine Tao's illness would be considered high if she could last for two months.

He said this today just to let himself live a few more days.

Once Tao Guifei died, the palace servants like them would also die. The more important reason was that Tao Guifei was born as a commoner.

No nobles in the palace are willing to have relations with common people, and even the servants like them are not welcome in the palace.

After the chamberlain withdrew, His Majesty became even more unable to sit still.

Without Concubine Tao, Ye Shang is no longer under control.

Not only was he worried, the queen was also worried.

Just after Yeshang left the palace, the queen knew the conversation between Concubine Tao and Prince Jin.

Like Your Majesty, the Queen also hated Concubine Tao.

He hated Ye Shang even more.

Outside the palace, at the gate of Kyoto City.

Taifu Xu's servants begged the gatekeepers at the city gate to give them an hour's grace and wait for the two young ladies of the Xu family.

It was not until the city gate guard had no choice but to knock on the door of the Taifu's house that Xu Tai found out that Xu He and Xu Hu had not returned yet after the army. In order to prevent the two daughters from sleeping on the streets tonight, Lu ordered someone to He pestered the guard at the city gate to prevent him from closing the door.

Xu Tai's face turned dark after hearing this. He was only thinking about how to deal with Xu Chuan and forgot about his two daughters.

He was a civil servant, and the city gate guards were military generals. Civil servants and military generals had nothing to do with each other. When he heard that his servants were making trouble at the city gate, Xu Tai looked helpless.

After a pause, he ordered someone to prepare a car, and he went to the city gate to wait in person. I bet the city gate guard would not dare to drive him away.

Although Xu Chuan is his daughter, she is much harder to control than his two daughters.

Now all he can rely on is to send his two daughters to the palace and marry them to the two princes.

Thinking that there were too many uneasy factors outside the city, Xu Tai quickly followed the gatekeeper to the city gate.

The guard thought that Taifu Xu had gone to help him call the Xu family back, but he didn't know that as soon as Xu Tai arrived at the city gate, he followed the Xu family and refused to leave. The guard didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to report to the guard commander of the capital.

The guard commander of the capital was Xie Liufeng, a member of the Xie family. When he heard that Taifu Xu and his men were obstructing the guard at the city gate, Youdi became angry.

But when I thought that Xu Tai was the Tutor, I didn't dare to offend him directly, so I went to the palace at night to find His Majesty's decision.

When the guard arrived at the gate of the city with His Majesty's decree, the two young ladies from the Xu family arrived in a horse-drawn carriage.

The chamberlain who announced the decree looked helplessly as Xu Tai got into the carriage, followed by Xu He and Xu Hu's carriage. He didn't even read out the words, and Xu Tai led the people back. The guard general and the eunuch who announced the decree were stunned on the spot.

"Is this what it is?" The guard shook his head in confusion.

After looking at it, the chamberlain said: "Mr. Xu is really capable of risking his life."

At this point, the noise in Xu Mansion started.

As soon as Xu Hu and Xu He got off the carriage, they burst into tears and cried at Lu and Xu Tai, which shocked the two Qincheng government officials who sent them back.

Xu Tai immediately wanted to punish the two government officials without asking any questions. Fortunately, the two government officials quickly explained what happened along the way.

It was because the two of them didn't know how to drive and didn't know the way, so they took the wrong road and came back so late.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt heartbroken and immediately blamed herself. She should have sent guards out of the city to pick him up as soon as she saw Xu Chuan coming back.

Lu didn't know that as soon as she said this, Xu Tai and his two daughters directly blamed her.

"Does Aniang not want me? So you didn't even think of sending someone to pick us up?"

"How come the madam is so comatose? She can't take care of her two daughters well. She didn't forget to send someone to find out." Xu Tai's words were even sharper.

When Mrs. Lu heard that her daughter and husband began to blame her, she felt very angry.

It was obviously Xu Tai who had spoken to Xu Chuan first, but he had forgotten his two daughters, so why bother blaming her.

After saying that, except for Xu Tai, the three of them burst into tears.

Xu Tai stood there blankly, looking at the crying and fussing on the street. The neighbors who had already been noisy came out to check. He called the boy to come out and took a look. Only then did he realize that it was the two daughters of Lu Shihe from Taifu Xu's residence who were crying at the door.

Seeing people coming to inquire, Xu Tai immediately understood and shouted: "That's enough."

The three of them were so frightened that they immediately stopped crying and looked at Xu Tai blankly.

"Aren't you embarrassed enough? Go back to the mansion." Xu Tai angrily dropped these words and strode into the mansion.

Mrs. Lu and her two daughters finally came to their senses and said, "Auntie," but their eyes followed Xu Tai's eyes into the mansion.

The housekeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it only happened not long ago, otherwise the reputation of the Xu family would have been ruined by these people.

Then the master will get angry again.

Once the master gets angry, the people in the mansion will suffer again.

So the manager tried his best to force Seo Tai to get angry every time.

The three of them cautiously followed Xu Tai into the mansion. Madam Lu had already ordered people to prepare food for the two of them to enjoy after they returned.

When he entered the main hall, Xu Tai's face changed drastically as he could not clearly see the clothes of Xu Hu and Xu He in the dim light.

He scolded angrily: "Why did the Xu family raise such disheveled and unloving daughters as you two?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she turned around and saw that the clothes on her two daughters were torn in pieces, and the clothes they wore were also nondescript. Not to mention dignified and elegant, they were not even neat and clean.

When Xu Hu and Xu He heard their father describe them like this, tears fell down their faces again, and their knees softened. They knelt down and said: "Father, mother, the prince does not want to marry us. Now the three princes have already married." Silly, we might as well make other plans."

Xu Tai was shocked when he heard this and shouted: "What are you talking about? It's a blessing that the prince is willing to marry you, but you still dare to be picky?"

Xu Hu felt wronged and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, do you want me to marry a fool?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu took a few steps back in shock, her face turning green and white.

His mouth trembled and he said: "Idiot" with an unbelievable look on Xu Hu's eyes.
