"The emperor didn't catch the prince this time. At most, he was just suspicious. After this battle, the prince must not show the slightest evil intention towards the imperial concubine. Otherwise, if the emperor blames him, the prince may not have a good life in the future." Hu
The concubine also knew Xiao Yi's thoughts.
Before, she was jealous of Qin Zhao's ability, which made Xiao Yi so rebellious that he dared to do such an unwise thing.
But now that the man in the palace has discovered the clues, if he exiles the prince to a barbaric land in anger, Xiao Yi's hard work over the years will be in vain.
"In the end, I underestimated my brother. However, I have no regrets." Xiao Yi opened his lips calmly.
He finally got a taste of his long-cherished wish and spent two days alone with Qin Zhao. If he didn't take action, he would never have the chance to be alone with Qin Zhao in his life.
Just because the person sitting on the throne of Da Qi is Xiao Ce.
If he were a mediocre person, he would be confident that he could pull that person to the throne, but that person was Xiao Ce. He had the means and strategies to govern Daqi in an orderly manner.
Facing an opponent like Xiao Ce, he didn't have much confidence that he could win.
He has been waiting for Xiao Ce to make a mistake, but how could someone like Xiao Ce make a mistake?
He even thought that if Xiao Ce had a weakness, he would definitely seize it tightly, but when he knew Xiao Ce's true weakness, he couldn't let go.
Because that woman is Qin Zhao, the only woman he cares about in his life.
What big thing could a person like him achieve? He would actually be so insane that he would take such a risk for a woman. He could obviously use Qin Zhao to do many things, but he didn't want Qin Zhao to look down on him.
"Do you really not regret it, Your Majesty?" Concubine Hu asked softly, not knowing what she felt in her heart.
She knew before that Xiao Yi cared about Qin Zhao, but she always told herself that it was because she couldn't get it that she couldn't forget it. That wasn't love, it was just because she asked for it but couldn't get it.
But for a man as ruthless, ambitious and ambitious as Xiao Yi, even when he exposed himself because of Qin Zhao, Xiao Yi said he had no regrets.
When did Xiao Yi's feelings for Qin Zhao become so deep?
"No regrets. I had a great time in the past two days." Xiao Yi took out a box of candied fruits and was slightly distracted.
He just felt that two days were too short, not enough for him to reflect on half his life.
He threw a sweetmeat into his mouth, but he always felt it was not as sweet as the one Qin Zhao handed him.
Concubine Hu saw Xiao Yi's gentle expression from the side and felt sour in her heart.
Although there are many beauties in Prince An's palace, she knows that she is unique. After all, Prince An has no main concubine.
Even when she first knew that Xiao Yi was thinking about Qin Zhao, she didn't take it to heart because she knew that Xiao Yi would never get Qin Zhao.
As time went by, she comforted herself that Xiao Yi was only possessive of Qin Zhao, and one day Xiao Yi would see her kindness.
But after so many years, she is just one of the people in Xiao Yi's backyard. If it weren't for her, there would always be other women to fill her place.
She used to have some extravagant hopes and felt that she was special, but now she knows that there is only one woman named Qin Zhao, and the only woman who can make Xiao Yi care about her is Qin Zhao, and there will be no other people, including her.
Reality is always cruel and true. Although it is bloody, it still allows her to see her position clearly.
If one day Xiao Yi really succeeds and becomes the Supreme Being, Qin Zhao will undoubtedly be admitted into the harem by Xiao Yi.
However, she felt that the success rate was greatly reduced now because Xiao Ce had already paid attention to Xiao Yi.
Even so, Xiao Yi actually said he had no regrets.
On the third day after Xiao Yi returned to Beijing, Concubine Hu handed a sign to the palace.
She waited for about an hour and finally saw Qin Zhao in Jinyang Palace.
After receiving the gift, Concubine Hu explained the purpose of her visit, "I heard from the prince that the queen was frightened on the road, and I felt very uneasy, so I brought some supplements into the palace, hoping that the queen would accept them."
Qin Zhao didn't like or dislike Concubine Hu, but Concubine Hu was also admitted into the royal family, so she was still a member of the royal family.
As long as Xiao Yi and Xiao Ce didn't officially break up, she would have to make a fuss with Concubine Hu.
"You are interested." Qin Zhao said quietly.
"How is your health?" Concubine Hu asked with concern.
"Very good." Qin Zhao replied lukewarmly.
Concubine Hu always had good interpersonal relationships in Kyoto's social circle and was a talkative person, but she always felt like she couldn't express herself when facing Qin Zhao.
Of course it is. Although Concubine Hu is only a concubine and not the official wife, her status is there and she is related to the royal family. Who in the upper circles of Kyoto cannot flatter her?
But who is Qin Zhao? The concubine most favored by the Holy Emperor today has also given birth to a young prince. In the presence of a nobleman like Qin Zhao, Concubine Hu is naturally not enough to look at her.
Concubine Hu felt embarrassed as she sat there, and looked for some topics to talk about. However, Qin Zhao was lukewarm, and Concubine Hu couldn't stay any longer, so she got up and planned to leave.
"By the way, does the imperial concubine have time during the Spring Festival? I plan to have a spring outing on the day of the Shangsi Festival. There will be many noble people attending. If the imperial concubine can come, it will definitely make the spring outing a lot more interesting." Hu
The concubine said and looked at Qin Zhao.
She knew that today's imperial concubines did not like to participate in various festivals held by Kyoto's aristocratic circle, but she still wanted to give it a try.
If Qin Zhao can be invited to participate, Xiao Yi will be happy to see him.
Since she can't win Xiao Yi's heart, she has to find a way to win Xiao Yi's favor. Only in this way can she stand more firmly in Prince An's Mansion.
"No, I cannot be free." Qin Zhao declined the invitation to accompany the concubine without hesitation.
Concubine Hu was not surprised by Qin Zhao's answer. If Qin Zhao attended the Spring Outing, he would really have seen a ghost.
It's not just Qin Zhao who doesn't like to socialize, Xiao Ce, the emperor, also doesn't like to socialize. Apart from government affairs and walking around Jinyang Palace on weekdays, the entire harem seems to be in vain. Even in the past few years since he ascended the throne, Xiao Ce has not been seen hunting in the royal hunting grounds.
What.
In addition, Qin Zhao never left the palace, so it was extremely difficult for Xiao Yi to meet Qin Zhao. It was precisely because Xiao Ce hid Qin Zhao so tightly that Xiao Yi could not control himself and actually took the lead in the robbers' drama.
Showed off.
Qin Zhao didn't know Concubine Hu's complicated mood. She thought that she would be kidnapped when she went out for her birthday. How could she dare to leave the palace easily?
From then on, she stayed in the palace and didn't go anywhere.
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhang Jixiang reported on the situation of the robbers who hijacked Qin Zhao.
The investigation results show that all the assassins are from the Dayue clan, but these assassins are all killers and their origins are unknown. Because of this, it seems contradictory.
Since he is a killer and his origin is unknown, how come he is found to be from the Dayue clan? Isn't this a contradiction in terms?
In addition, all the assassins were dead and there was no proof. Not only was the emperor suspicious of the origins of these assassins, he was also suspicious.
