Chapter 1040: Falling out
At this moment, Cui Yan couldn't see where his hope was at all.
Just before today, she felt that she had to persevere no matter what. After this battle, she suddenly lost confidence and felt that she had no way to go in the harem.
After sighing for a while, she left Jinyang Palace.
In Jinyang Palace, Bao Zhu carried Xiao Atom back to the bedroom. She listened carefully but did not hear any movement inside.
Just when she was confused, Baohong came forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, you are so powerful."
He actually dared to be so cruel to Zhang Jixiang and showed no mercy. This was tantamount to insulting the emperor in public.
Previously, everyone felt that Zhang Jixiang was too arrogant in Jinyang Palace because he was the number one person in the imperial court, but he dared not speak out in anger. However, the imperial concubine took action directly, which frightened Zhang Jixiang.
"Don't disturb your wife to rest..."
Before Baozhu finished speaking, Qin Zhao suddenly came out of the bedroom.
She hurriedly asked: "Isn't the queen going to bed?"
"I was woken up by Zhang Jixiang and I can't sleep. Let's have lunch first." Qin Zhao stepped forward and hugged Xiao Atom, who found a comfortable position and sat down in her arms, looking at ease.
Qin Zhao gently poked the child's pink face: "Being a child is the happiest thing, without the worries of adults."
When Xiao Atom heard what she said, he suddenly kissed her on the cheek, instantly making Qin Zhao laugh.
"God gave me your child so that all my worries will disappear as soon as I see your child." Qin Zhao expressed his joy for the child by rinsing his face.
Bao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief on the side, but she was afraid that what just happened would affect her mother's mood.
Fortunately, the empress was not affected.
What she is more concerned about now is whether the emperor will have a problem with the empress because of this matter. After all, Zhang Jixiang is also the emperor's personal attendant, and he has been serving him for so many years.
If the emperor blames the empress for this, it will be even more difficult for the empress and the emperor to reconcile.
Then the imperial team returned to Yangxin Hall.
Because Zhang Jixiang didn't know whether Xiao Ce was in a good or bad mood, and because his head was injured, he didn't know what to do for a while.
It's strange that the imperial concubine was spoiled by the emperor, otherwise she wouldn't have been so cruel to him. Qin Zhao really didn't give the emperor any dignity. What did the emperor think?
"Go down and treat the wound. I don't need you to serve me for a short time." Xiao Ce did not look at Zhang Jixiang and then gave an order.
Zhang Jixiang thought it was Xiao Ce who sympathized with his injury and allowed him to heal alone.
After he resigned, he felt something was not right. The emperor said that he did not need to serve him in a short time. If he took care of the injury in a short time, could he return to serve the emperor?
Then Qiu Shui returned to the imperial court to serve him. When he saw the wound on his head, Qiu Shui was shocked: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jixiang roughly told what happened. After listening to this, Qiu Shui spat softly: "You deserve it if you touch the imperial concubine's head even though you know her temper!"
"Don't you think the imperial concubine is too willful and arrogant? She is becoming more and more like the former imperial concubine Wu." Zhang Jixiang whispered.
Qiu Shui didn't expect that Zhang Jixiang would think of Qin Zhao like this. After hearing this, she shook her head: "If you have the ability, go and say what you just said to the imperial concubine, and I will respect you!"
She didn't want to continue talking to Zhang Jixiang, and then went to wait on him in front of the emperor.
When she was waiting on him, she couldn't tell how the emperor was feeling, but he couldn't be too happy.
Thinking again about Zhang Jixiang's disrespect for Qin Zhao in his words just now, she felt that this momentum was not right.
In the past, Zhang Jixiang also turned towards Qin Zhao, but now Zhang Jixiang has resentment towards Qin Zhao. Coupled with today's attack, the resentment in Zhang Jixiang's heart will only become heavier.
She was afraid that Zhang Jixiang would give Qin Zhao shoes to wear secretly in the future, so she had to pay more attention.
Zhang Jixiang is a very good person when he is good, but sometimes he does some things that make people unhappy.
The fact that Zhang Jixiang was injured by Qin Zhao quickly spread in the harem, and some people learned from this that Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce had a falling out, and Qin Zhao was taking out his anger on Zhang Jixiang.
Some people also say that Qin Zhao is becoming more and more like Concubine Wu, becoming more and more arrogant and vicious, otherwise she would not have done such a cruel thing to Zhang Jixiang.
When Zhang Jixiang, who was recovering from his injuries, heard the news, he felt that the eyes of the people were still bright.
He also felt that since Qin Zhao became the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine's arrogance has become more and more serious. It doesn't matter if he was beaten, he is still a slave, but Qin Zhao dared to push the emperor away. This is what he can't bear the most.
In his opinion, not only the entire harem belongs to the emperor, but also the entire world of Daqi belongs to the emperor. Pushing the emperor away is a great disrespect to the emperor.
Those who make the emperor sad are even more unpardonable.
He was happy to see voices from the harem attacking Qin Zhao, while he was recovering from his injuries in the Yangxin Palace.
Two days later, he felt that the wound was much better, so he decided to return to serve the emperor.
But he was blocked outside, and soon Qiu Shui came out and said seriously: "You should take good care of yourself recently. I will take care of you, Your Majesty."
"What do you mean?" Zhang Jixiang frowned.
"Just think that the emperor sympathizes with your injury and lets you rest for a few days." Qiu Shui was too lazy to talk to Zhang Jixiang anymore and returned to the emperor to wait on him.
However, Zhang Jixiang saw that the emperor did not need his services, just because he wanted to wake Concubine Qin from sleeping, and also made the concubine angry.
Not only did the imperial concubine punish him, but even the emperor was dissatisfied with him.
He really couldn't understand that if he protected the emperor and was loyal to the emperor, wouldn't this be wrong? Why would the emperor be angry with him?
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out why he was excluded from the emperor despite being loyal to him.
In this life, Zhang Jixiang's life has only one focus, and that is to serve the emperor. He usually felt that he was the most important person, but now that he cannot serve in front of the emperor, the focus of his life is gone, and he instantly becomes at a loss.
When Qiu Shui took time to have lunch that day, Zhang Jixiang suddenly appeared, which startled her.
"Please help me say a few nice words in front of the emperor, so that I can return to the emperor to serve him as soon as possible." Zhang Jixiang directly stated his intention.
Qiu Shui rolled her eyes at him: "How can I change what the Emperor has decided? Just wait. When the Emperor calms down, you can naturally return to serve the Emperor."
In fact, the emperor called her "Jixiang" more than once. The emperor was still accustomed to Zhang Jixiang's service, and Zhang Jixiang understood the emperor's living habits best.
However, Zhang Jixiang has not yet discovered where he went wrong, and the emperor has not issued any orders. It is unlikely that Zhang Jixiang will be allowed to return to the imperial court for a while.
"You mean you won't speak for me anymore?" Zhang Jixiang glared at Qiu Shui.
He knew that Qiu Shui was close to Jinyang Palace, so did Qiu Shui also feel that he deserved to be hit on the head by the imperial concubine?
