Chapter 1764: Can a green leaf save your life?
Tao Hui's expression froze and he shook his head silently.
Xia Baoer gave a cold smile, with dark eyes.
"Because I want to give you another chance to spare you. It's not impossible, but I have three conditions."
"If you can agree, then I can still keep your life for you. If you don't agree... we will discuss the punishment."
Tao Hui dared not hesitate and trembled quickly: "I promise, I promise to the princess!"
Xia Baoer has long, black eyelashes, thin and soft eyebrows, and her whole face is extremely gorgeous.
"Don't agree in a hurry, listen to my conditions first."
"The first request is that you give me Huai Shui's deed of betrayal."
Huai Shui is a slave born in the Tao family. If she doesn't get the deed of betrayal, she will still be a member of the Tao family no matter where she escapes.
Beware of Tao Hui playing dirty tricks against Huai Shui, so Xia Baoer helps her regain her freedom first.
"Second request, I want you to publicly support me in setting up a girls' school in court, and not to obstruct or refuse again."
Tao Hui nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay!"
Even if the princess didn't say anything, he wouldn't dare to play dirty tricks anymore.
"The third request is that you have done something wrong and are no longer worthy of sitting in the position of minister. I will not explain the mistake you made to dad, but I hope you are sensible. Tomorrow morning, I want to hear you ask yourself News of being demoted.”
Tao Hui was startled, his eyes filled with a few wisps of red blood due to nervousness.
"Chen ..."
The minister is a third-rank official, how could he give it up!
From being an unknown person at the beginning, he passed the imperial examination and then moved to official positions. People in the village used to say that there was smoke coming out of the Tao family's ancestral grave.
Once you fail, you will be knocked back to your original shape.
How could he be willing to give up his status, glory and wealth... Gongyu Baozhu blinked his big eyes, looked at him and said, "Is there really an adult who has done something wrong and doesn't want to pay the price? He has seriously lost his life. , or is it a serious demotion?”
Tao Hui trembled and said hurriedly: "I agree!"
Xia Baoer held her head high, sitting upright with an elegant and noble posture: "Go back now, and then deliver Huai Shui's deed of sale to the palace. From now on, she will have nothing to do with your Tao family."
She waved her sleeves: "Step back."
Tao Hui was supported by his servants and stood up tremblingly.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness." He didn't dare to look back and left in a hurry.
Suddenly, Xia Baoer said behind him: "Wait."
Tao Hui's body trembled, and the cold sweat that had just subsided began to break out again.
Could it be that Her Highness the Princess regrets...
Xia Baoer picked up a green leaf from the ground and asked the palace maid to bring it to Tao Hui.
"Tao Shangshu, I see that your face is dark, and I am afraid that a disaster is coming. I hope this green leaf can keep you safe."
Tao Hui took it fearfully, full of doubts about this green leaf that didn't look anything special, but he kept saying thank you on his face.
Then he left.
After he left, Gongyu Baozhu asked curiously: "Mother, he has offended the nest, why do you still help him?"
Xia Baoer faced her daughter with a soft smile: "Good Zhuzhu, some people's lives are useful if they are saved."
She stood up holding Gong Yu Baozhu and looked at the direction Tao Hui was leaving with a deep look in her eyes: "However, whether he is lucky enough to avoid disaster depends on him."
Tao Hui boarded the carriage and when he left the confines of Liangzhai, he suddenly threw the green leaf out of the window.
Princess Mifu must be teasing him and humiliating him as a beggar, otherwise a green leaf can protect her?
