The truth comes to light

  Mischievous wife

  Tao Le'er's mouth was pouting, her big eyes rolled upwards, and she glared at Feng Ye with a sideways glance. "What's wrong with you? Why are you yelling at me?" "I didn't do anything wrong, why are you yelling at me? I really don't know what he said." "We only met him that one time when we went out with you, how would I know what kind of tricks he has up his sleeve?"

  That soft, coquettish yet complaining voice instantly extinguished more than half of Feng Ye's anger. It seemed that Second Brother had always been fond of making his own life difficult, so how could the simple-minded Le'er be his match? Just thinking about them quarreling in their cell at midnight made her feel a lump of stifled air in her chest. But this also couldn't be blamed on her.

  "Sorry, I shouldn't have scolded you." Sighing, he held her small body in his arms, the fragrance of her breath making him feel at ease.

  Taole'er got a good deal and still sold it, pouting with her small mouth, constantly poking his chest with her index finger. "It's good to know! You still have the nerve to say that you don't care about others at all, not even a little bit. Without asking anything, you just locked me up in this broken place."

  "Hum! You don't think about it, how could I possibly harm Xixi? Even if I wanted to poison someone, wouldn't I do it more discreetly? At breakfast, I was the one who brought it over. If something happened to Xixi, the first person suspected would be me. Am I that stupid? Besides, Xixi and I don't have any grudges, I actually like her a lot. Why would I harm her? Only you, this heartless fool, without asking anything, put the blame on my head!"

  Indignant and resentful, he complained loudly and even rudely knocked on his door. "A lifetime of 'ohs'" seemed particularly out of place in the quiet of the night.

  "Hehe, I didn't mean to." Tao Le'er heard and shrunk back a bit, hurriedly stretching out her hand to help him rub it. Seeing that he wasn't angry, she then put her hand down again.

  Feng Ye was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh, this mischievous kid, really made him both angry and amused. However, just as Yan Xi said, with her personality, even if she's annoyed in her heart, she would still speak out straightforwardly, not leaving people at a loss for what to do. He was someone who didn't know how to talk, his mind almost entirely focused on state affairs, without the time to guess at a woman's thoughts. This kind of Le Er, actually saved him a lot of trouble.

  "Listen, I didn't suspect you, I just locked you up, but I didn't say it was your doing. At that time, I had no choice but to do so, and you couldn't produce any evidence to prove your innocence, could you?" He pinched her plump cheeks, loving her frank nature.

  Taole'er's big black eyes rolled around twice, her brain was a mess, staring at him. "Hmm——" She nodded. "What you said seems to be true too. Hehe, husband, sorry about that. I thought you didn't care about me, my heart was sad, didn't think so much."

  Hearing her adorable voice, Feng Ye's affection for her increased a bit more. He hugged her and kissed her tender cheek. "Foolish girl, how could I not love you?"

  "Hehe......" Tao Le'er smiled foolishly, not thinking to ask some questions that would get her an inch closer. "By the way, husband, what do you think about what that big pervert said earlier?"

  Feng Ye was silent for a moment before responding, "I'm not clear either. The medicine that was used is one that causes memory loss, but who wants to erase whose memories? By the way, did you stop halfway through? What Second Brother said wasn't about someone being harmed on purpose, but an accident, what's going on?"

  Taole'er tilted her head, thinking for a moment. Feng Yeye was also deep in thought, his sleeves fluttering in the wind, his teeth biting his little finger, and he nodded slightly as he said: "Master, I think those things must have been made especially for me."

  "Why say that?"

  "I thought about it, all those things were what I liked to eat and almost every morning someone would go get them for me. And also, only I would sleep in till the sun was high in the sky before eating breakfast, right?"

  Feng Ye nodded slightly, looking at her with a newfound respect. "So tell me, why did that person want to erase your memories? Did you know something you shouldn't have?"

  Knowing things you shouldn't know is the only reason people would want to erase someone's memory.

  Taole'er pouted, scrunched up her little face and shook her head. "I don't remember, I didn't seem to have peeked at any secrets. At least I don't recall having done so, or maybe I forgot while others haven't?"

  Her smile had twisted into a big knot, Feng Ye stretched out his hand to rub her eyebrows. "Alright, don't think about it for now. Go to sleep quickly, and we'll think about it after you wake up. Tomorrow, I'll have someone investigate what kind of thing mixed with Dan Hong would turn into poison."

  "Me too. You mentioned it, I feel sleepy too. Forget it, let's sleep." He said, moving away from him and lying on the bed. Just as he touched the pillow, he sat up again to pull up the quilt.

  "Husband, don't go, stay and sleep with me, okay? Who knows who will come running in next. Is that okay?" The bright red lips pouted, and the spoiled tone became immediately apparent.

  Feng Ye thought for a moment and nodded. "Mm-hmm."

  Tao Le'er cracked a smile, and as he lay down, he moved his head to his chest. His limbs wrapped around him like a koala bear hugging an eucalyptus tree, and he closed his eyes contentedly.

  Feng Ye wrapped one arm around her shoulders and the other on her waist. As he felt the temperature and touch transmitted through the thin clothing, a surge of heat began to rise from below. He turned his head to look at the other bed, where Xiao Mei was sleeping soundly, undoubtedly having been acupunctured by Er Ge. Even if something happened now, she wouldn't wake up.

  Thinking like this, my heart and that place are itchy, but then I think of Le'er being still young. My hand just lightly touched that pert buttocks a few times, and honestly hugged her to sleep, lest I bring trouble upon myself.

  "Uh-huh..." Taoluo, who was almost asleep, felt the large hand stroking him and let out a soft murmur, nuzzled his chest, then fell back asleep.

  It was a good thing that I didn't start the fire myself, otherwise she would have fallen asleep halfway through. At that time, it would still be me who suffered. Although it wasn't cold outside, getting up in the middle of the night to take a cold shower was still a terrible experience.

  She waved her hand to extinguish the red candle, and the sharp and bright eagle's eyes were flashing with wisdom in the darkness. If it was really as Yue'er had guessed, that those things were prepared for her, then who would be the one to poison her? What other unspeakable secrets did Yue'er know?

  After several confirmations, the old doctor put down what he was holding and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, there is indeed a component of Dan Hong in this."

  Feng Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is that other thing?"

  "It is the saliva of a four-legged snake. Four-legged snakes are often found in wall cracks or tile gaps, and they move when they smell something fragrant."

  Feng Ye didn't speak, and in his mind, the layout of the Wang Fu appeared. From the kitchen to the West Garden, where could make Le'er stop her steps and put down breakfast? The four-legged snake could smell the fragrance and drool, it would definitely take some time. Forget it, calling Le'er over to ask would be faster.

  "It was like that!" Tao Le'er pointed to a section of the corridor that had just entered the Western Garden. "I saw this flower particularly beautiful at that time, and there was also a butterfly on it, so I put the tray there and looked at it for a while."

  On a windy night, Rong turned his head and ordered the servant who was carrying things. "Put the things in the same position."

  The rich aroma of food wafts through the air, very tempting.

  After a while, everyone indeed saw a four-legged snake poking its head out from the roof tiles of the corridor, dripping with saliva.

  Feng Ye looked at the drop of water in the bowl and nodded slightly. "So that's how it is."

  So the remaining question is who wants to erase Le'er's memory. He swept a glance at several concubines, and they all quickly lowered their heads. They seemed to be very guilty, but in fact, it was because his eyes were too sharp.

  After finishing this thing, Tao Le'er still returned to the cell. She stayed there, and others wouldn't easily take action. Because everyone might be that murderer, she had to guard against it.

  That night, Jiang Yuanling really brought her dinner again. Liu Rong, the second wife, came along with him. Jiang Yuanling couldn't help but say some words that he thought were clever, and of course, Tao Le'er was annoyed again.

  On the contrary, Liu Rong was always quiet and calm. Tao Le'er also carefully discovered that she seemed unhappy, even worried, as if she had a lot on her mind.

  Taole'er blinked her big eyes, occasionally glancing at her. Indeed, Liu Rong's expression became increasingly flustered and pale to the point of being frightening. Could it be that this matter was related to her?

  She smiled and patted Liu Rong's shoulder, scaring her so much that she almost jumped up. "Xiao Er, are you not feeling well? I feel like you're trembling, is it very cold? Let me tell you, now it's summer, if you look like this, people will think you've done something wrong and are afraid of being found out."

  She spoke casually, but didn't miss her opponent's every reaction.

  Liu Rong was shocked, forcing a smile to reply: "How...how could that be? Princess Wang really loves to joke. Ah, I just remembered there's still something important I almost forgot to do. Princess Wang, I'll take my leave first."

  He walked away hastily and soon disappeared in front of the prison gate.

  Tao Le'er was eating, and found Jiang Yuanling staring at her, revealing an innocent smile. "Hehe, thank you little four, these things are really delicious. Hehe......"

  Jiang Yuanling looked at her suspiciously, opened her mouth and then said nothing.
