Chapter 576 The General Was Rescued (51)
"How can he be a confidant?" Tao Nanmo said lightly, with an indifferent expression on her face.
I saw her slightly raising her head, her eyes cold and indifferent, as if all the past events had been blown away by the wind.
“Not long after I entered the Prince’s Mansion, she, who seemed loyal, had already been bribed by my stepmother.
The reason why I kept her by my side for the past few years was simply to pass on some false news to my parents' home through her. "At this point, Tao Nanmo paused for a moment.
She seemed to recall the past, but soon she adjusted her mood and added, "Speaking of which, my stepmother is actually the prince's person. If not, how could Chen Jiyao know so much about my family's situation?
Humph, after all, he married me because of my family's wealth."
Hearing this, Xue Asi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sigh softly. Everyone is helpless.
She slowly reached out her hand, picked up a piece of delicate pastry beside her, and took a careful bite.
However, at this moment, her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red.
It turned out that this chestnut cake was actually the second brother's favorite food, and this way of entertaining guests with three dishes and one support was Luo Qitai's usual habit.
The so-called three products and one tray means that sweet and sour candied fruits are usually placed in a round main plate, and three crescent-shaped secondary plates are neatly placed around the main plate.
Most of these side plates contain two sweet snacks and one savory snack, with three of each.
Now Luo Qitai is no longer by Tao Nanmo's side, but she can be seen everywhere.
The boy who had promised her that he would travel around the world with him when they were young, was no longer by her side in her memory, in her dreams, and in her heart.
But even so, he still "trapped" her for life, making Tao Nanmo's life lose its former liveliness.
"Eat quickly!" Tao Nanmo persuaded with a smile, "Try this salty snack. It's made with Yun Ham from Zhejiang. I remember you like this."
"Hey!" Xue Asi finished the chestnut cake in his hand and took a bite of the salty snack. "It's very good. Thank you Sister Tao for thinking of me."
Tao Nanmo glanced at the door and said, "I'll make it short. I'll send you away after the storm has died down in a few days."
"I know what you want to do, but this matter is not as simple as you think." Tao Nanmo did not let Xue Asi continue to speak, "After all, the Luo family's affairs were the work of the prince, but more of it was instructed by the emperor.
Back then, when the treasury was empty, he had long been eyeing the Luo family's money, and he only had one son, so he couldn't do anything to Chen Jiyao no matter what. "
Xue Asi took a sip of tea and said, "How can there be only one descendant? He already has a grandson. Although it is difficult to skip his son and let his grandson succeed him directly, what else can he do if his son is dead?
Sister Tao, it is better to be a queen mother who holds great power and presides over government affairs than to imprison yourself in a prison. "
Look at the dark hole ahead, it must be the thief's lair, I will rush forward and kill him completely!!!
Tao Nanmo looked around and couldn't help but smile: "You're right, I have nothing to lose, this time I will play big with you."
Xue Asi's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "Sister Tao finally got it! But we have to plan carefully."
Tao Nanmo nodded slightly, with determination in her eyes.
In the next few days, the two secretly contacted their old subordinates and collected intelligence from various forces.
They discovered that although several important officials in the court were loyal to the emperor on the surface, they had actually long been dissatisfied with his foolish behavior.
So, Tao Nanmo decided to start with these people.
Before this, she already had a list that recorded the identities of the spies sent by the prince to various prefectures.
Some may be housekeepers, but more are concubines and other close associates.
"This thing looks useful, but it's actually very hot." Tao Nanmo said to Luo Asi, "Judging from the situation back then, even if we handed this thing to the emperor, it would only bring disaster to our own lives."
"We can't, but the Huo family can." Xue Asi's hand stayed on the list for a moment, "Huo Yuan has military power, the emperor won't dare to touch him for a while.
Moreover, his nephew is the grandson of the emperor. The prince believes that he and he are in the same boat and will not be suspicious of him, so it is best to give this thing to him. "
"But will he betray the prince?" Tao Nanmo didn't quite believe that these two people would fight each other.
In the face of great power, friendship, loyalty, conscience, what is there that he cannot let go of! Once his nephew becomes emperor, he will be the first person to assist the country.
When the master is weak and the servant is strong, it is a good time to change the situation!
Tao Nanmo and Xue Asi also thought of this, and they said in unison: "While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. This is also our best opportunity."
