He found himself lying in a thatched hut.

Just as I was about to stand up, I felt an unbearable pain in my lower body and legs, and cold sweat was pouring out of my forehead.

Seeing his knees wrapped in thick white cloth, he lay down with difficulty.

A tall figure appeared in the thatched hut, carrying a basin of water.

Seeing him wake up, the woman came to the bed anxiously, took out a handkerchief, wiped his sweat, and told him how she saved him.

"Just call me Lingyu. I found you at the foot of the mountain when I was fishing."

"Your legs must have been broken when you fell from the cliff above."

Lingyu has bright and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, white and creamy skin, and a slim figure.

Her chest was high, and as she moved closer, those two soft breasts seemed about to jump out.

Seeing this in the eyes of the hot-blooded Tao Zipeng, his body stiffened and his face turned red.

He clenched his hands into fists at his sides, and used his great self-control to prevent his nose from bleeding.

If Tao Yuwei were here, she would be shocked and horrified.

Things changed when her cousin, whom she had been thinking about all the time, brought a woman back to Beijing.

The woman mentioned in the original plot was now guarding her eldest brother's bedside.

She must have exclaimed what a honey trap.

"I have already done a simple bandage for you. If you want to treat your leg, you need to rush to the county town. This place is remote. I will find a way to take you into the city tomorrow."

Lingyu put down the basin, sat down beside the bed, picked up the handkerchief and naturally and generously helped Tao Zipeng wipe the sweat off his forehead.

She bent down to clean the towel, then wiped his face and hands.

Tao Zipeng's ears turned as red as blood.

"It's ok... You don't have to do this."

This girl was a little too enthusiastic.

He dodged.

Lingyu had no choice but to stop and walked out of the thatched hut carrying the basin.

Not far from the house is a small lake.

Near the edge of the lake, the ground was covered with small stones.

Located on the edge of the pebbles, close to the mountains, and at the top of the mountains, is the official road.

Tao Zipeng fell from the official road above.

It was his bad luck that he did not fall into the lake, but fell onto some pebbles instead.

Fortunately, there was a big tree trunk at the foot of the mountain that temporarily caught him while he was falling, giving him a chance to cushion his fall.

Otherwise, he would have been crippled.

Lingyu poured out the water in the basin, but did not choose to go into the house. Instead, he walked to a certain distance from the thatched hut and looked around cautiously.

After finding no suspicious person, she looked up at the sky...

On another mountain path high in the mountain.

A group of fast horses came galloping over. They were dressed in plain clothes and held big swords in their hands.

Yan Qingci, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards who led the search for Tao Zipeng's cousins, rode at full speed overnight and finally arrived at the place where Tao Zipeng and his companions were ambushed.

"Everyone carefully look for the traces of General Tao and Young Master Wu. We must find them."

Yan Qingci and his men had no time to rest. At a command, everyone dispersed and began to look for someone.

At this moment in the General’s Mansion in the capital.

"Princess Anle, how did you know in advance that someone would harm Imperial Physician Cao?"

At Xiao Lichen's suggestion, Heiyan asked Tao Yuwei question after question, and in the end, she had lost her patience.

"This princess guessed it."

[Of course I am guessing based on the actual situation. I am not a know-it-all.]

Seeing that she was already very impatient, Xiao Lichen glanced at Hei Yan.

Hei Yan finally stopped asking her questions.

It was at this time that a Xiaoyu Guard rode hurriedly to the gate of the General's Mansion.

He jumped off his horse, holding a long knife in his hand, and rushed into the mansion anxiously.

"Your Excellency, I just received news from the Heavenly Prison that Imperial Concubine Huo has died of poisoning."

The visitor stopped outside the pavilion and bowed.

"What? Concubine Huo died of poisoning?"

Tao Yuwei stood up suddenly from the stone stool in shock, slammed her hands on the stone table, and her eyes widened.
