Chapter 2093: Concealing the truth
Tao Yao rubbed her forehead, feeling that she had forgotten something very important. However, the man in front of her with such extraordinary aura gave her a sense of familiarity, so she could only temporarily accept her status as a concubine.

Ling Xuanyu was very happy. He personally selected a palace for Tao Yao and named her Tao Fei. He stayed in the Lianyan Pavilion where Tao Yao lived that night. The concubines in the harem tore countless handkerchiefs and broke countless porcelains.

Even the Queen felt a little jealous. After all, this Concubine Tao suddenly appeared, she had not participated in any formal selection, and her family background was unknown. Such a woman was not qualified to enter the palace.

There are no secrets in the harem. Within just a few days, the existence of Concubine Tao became a concern for all the women in the harem. During this period of time, the emperor almost always stayed at Concubine Tao's place, which touched the sensitive hearts of the women in the harem.

The Queen took advantage of the Emperor's absence from court to summon Concubine Tao. As the head of the harem, she had the right to do so.

Tao Yao was wearing a peach pink palace dress with a simple peach blossom pinned on her head. She walked into Fengyi Palace under the guidance of the palace maid.

From the moment Tao Yao stepped into the hall, the expressions on the faces of all the concubines froze. Then they were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, as well as all kinds of other thoughts. A feeling of powerlessness arose in the queen's heart.

Concubine Tao defeated all the women in the harem with just her face. It is no exaggeration to say that she was the most beautiful woman in the harem. This is why she was able to gain the emperor's favor.

Tao Yao bowed calmly, then sat down in her seat, lowered her eyes, and did not speak.

The queen took a sip of tea and asked with a forced smile:
"Sister Tao Fei, are you used to living in Lianyan Pavilion? It is the palace closest to the Imperial Study."

Tao Yao raised her eyes to look at the queen, and said calmly:

"Thank you Queen for your concern. Taozhi is doing well."

An impatient concubine interrupted and asked:

"Sister Tao Fei, how did you meet the emperor? He even brought you back to the palace personally. I am so envious of you."

Tao Yao was stunned for a moment. Her mind was blank. She couldn't remember anything except a name. She could only answer truthfully:

"I don't remember. I was in the palace when I woke up. The emperor said I was his concubine and I forgot some things after being frightened."

The answer given by Concubine Tao made the women in the harem jump in their hearts. They felt as if they had touched upon some secret. At this moment, the eunuch outside the door sang loudly:

"The Emperor has arrived!"

The queen immediately put down the teacup in her hand and led everyone to welcome the emperor.

After Ling Xuanyu left the court, he learned from his trusted eunuch that the Queen had summoned Concubine Tao. He was somewhat displeased and went straight to Fengyi Palace.

Among the women who came to greet him, he immediately spotted Tao Zhi, who looked indifferent. He subconsciously walked up to Tao Zhi, raised his hand to help her up, and then said with concern:

"The injury on the back of your head hasn't fully healed yet. Don't go out unless you have nothing else to do. Stay in Lianyi Pavilion and recuperate."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Taozhi bowed and thanked him, ignoring the gazes of other concubines, and returned to Lianyan Pavilion first, saying she was not feeling well.

The Queen frowned, and everyone could see the displeasure in her eyes. The other concubines laughed at the Queen's incompetence in their hearts. She couldn't even control a favorite concubine, and was humiliated by the Emperor in person. Ling Xuanyu naturally saw the Queen's displeasure, and he just said to the others:
"All of you go down! Let the Queen talk to me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The concubines paid their respects and left Fengyi Palace. It seemed that the Emperor would stay at the Queen's place tonight. Since they couldn't win the fight, they decided to go back and rest early!
Ling Xuanyu chatted casually with the Queen, and the Queen changed the subject, implying that if the Emperor wanted to maintain the balance in the harem, he had to treat everyone equally and not favor only one person, as this would inevitably lead to criticism.

Ling Xuanyu was naturally unhappy. As an emperor with great wealth, he had to have so many concerns when he wanted to favor a woman. It was really boring for him to be an emperor, so he waved his sleeves and left Fengyi Palace, and turned around to go to Lianyan Pavilion.

This news soon spread in the harem. It was obvious that the queen lost in this game. The emperor obviously did not buy her account. Some people were secretly happy, some were jealous, and some shook their heads and sighed. It was not necessarily a good thing to have such a favorite concubine in the harem.

It didn't take long before the news that the Emperor favored Concubine Tao spread to the previous dynasty. There was a lot of dissatisfaction with Concubine Tao in the court. If the Emperor favored Concubine Tao, he would not favor their daughter. If their daughter could not give birth to an heir to the throne, wouldn't she be sent to the palace in vain?

The Qianfeng Dynasty's harem was in turmoil because of the appearance of Concubine Tao. On the other side, Pu Ze and Hu San also started a fight. The man and the fox chased each other and the fight was very lively.

After half a year, Hu San became annoyed. He pointed at Pu Ze's nose and cursed:
"You have been chasing me for so long, what on earth do you want to do? I just killed a bandit leader, and he deserved it. Why do you keep chasing me?"

Pu Ze was also helpless. He didn't want to chase the fox demon, but he had to find someone, so he had to follow him.

"Amitabha! The female donor with you has some connection with our Huguo Temple. The abbot asked me to find the female donor and lend a helping hand. It is not appropriate for her to follow you."

Fox Three then put away the impatience on his face, rolled his beautiful fox eyes and asked:

"Tell me clearly, what is the connection between Taozhi and you bald asses?"

Pu Ze's mouth twitched when he heard the rude words, but he finally chose to tell part of the truth.

"This female donor is the descendant of the benefactor of Huguo Temple, but the benefactor has not been to Huguo Temple for a long time. We don't know what happened to the benefactor's family, and we don't know why the female donor is traveling with you?
I also recognized the female donor from the scroll preserved in the temple. She looked exactly like my benefactor, so the abbot ordered me to go out and look for her.

If you really want to do this for the sake of the female donor, you shouldn't get close to her anymore. There are differences between humans and demons. If you continue like this, you will hurt her."

Pu Ze's words left Hu San silent. He felt very upset because Pu Ze had expressed the hidden worries in his heart.

"Amitabha! My dear friend Fox, are you willing to take me to see the female donor now?"

Fox Three said helplessly:
"She is not with me. We have been separated since she was injured by you that day.

When I recovered from my injuries, I went down the mountain to look for her. I followed her scent all the way to the bandit's lair and learned from the bandits that she had been captured and taken to the bandit's lair to be their concubine.

I just dealt with the bandit leader when you caught up with me. After we had a fight, you kept biting me. I had no chance to find Taozhi."

After hearing this, Pu Ze's face flashed with embarrassment. It turned out that he had delayed the progress of finding the female donor, so he immediately apologized sincerely, unilaterally declared a truce, and then expressed his willingness to join in the search for Taozhi.

Fox San agreed without much hesitation. After the two of them traveled together for three days, Fox San found an opportunity to slip away. He would not take that bald donkey to find Taozhi. Who knew whether what he said was true or false? Anyway, he had never heard Taozhi mention this matter. The point was that Taozhi said that she did not look like her mother.
