Qin Zhao didn't expect Xiao Ce to ask this question.
She was confused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, pretending to be brisk and authentic: "Of course it's good. Later I became the Queen Mother, and Xiao Atom became the emperor, how could it be bad?"
Xiao Ce could tell at a glance that Qin Zhao was lying, and he said seriously: "Tell me the truth."
Qin Zhao knew that he couldn't deceive Xiao Ce, so he thought that telling the truth together with lies might be more convincing, so he added: "It's not bad. Although some ministers are disrespectful to Xiao Atom, no matter how small Xiao Atom is, he is still the emperor."
.And there is also a regent to assist..."
She accidentally mentioned Xiao Yi and immediately wanted to bite off her tongue.
Xiao Ce narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Why don't you continue talking?!"
What a regent. If nothing unexpected happens, the regent will be Xiao Yi, right?
Qin Zhao did not dare to look directly at Xiao Ce. She wished she could turn back time and not talk about those things in her previous life.
Now she could only bite the bullet and continue: "Just like that, King An later became the regent, and he was very dedicated to assisting Xiao Atom, and the government of Da Qi was still stable. A few years later, the concubine suddenly suffered from a heart attack.
When I woke up, I came here."
"It's quite conscientious, how can you do it?!" Xiao Ce naturally grabbed this fatal question and asked.
Qin Zhao didn't dare to tell the truth, so she tried her best to look sincere: "I am from a womanly family and don't understand government affairs, so I should be quite dedicated. But I don't know what happened next."
Xiao Ce looked directly at Qin Zhao and met her clear pupils. No matter how calm she was, he could see that she was a little flustered and not as calm as she looked.
If she wasn't feeling guilty, how could she panic?
Qin Zhao lowered his head unconsciously.
In fact, she didn't want to recall those things in her previous life. She thought she and Xiao Ce had a common understanding. After all, the past could not be recalled.
But Xiao Ce suddenly asked about what happened after his death. Did she want to tell Xiao Ce that Xiao Yi wanted to take over his woman after his death?
How could such a proud man as Xiao Ce tolerate such a thing?
She was afraid that Xiao Ce had a grudge, so she wanted to put this matter aside in one sentence.
Anyway, it is impossible for him to know what happened after his death in his previous life. She can just know everything by herself. There is no need for Xiao Ce to know about it.
"The Emperor is fine in everything, but he is too suspicious. Anyway, during the years when I was alive, I lived quite well. After all, I am also the Queen Mother, and a woman can sit in that position..."
Qin Zhao was still talking, but Xiao Ce suddenly interrupted her: "Qin Zhao, is Xiao Yi disrespectful to you?!"
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment before replying: "No, the emperor is overthinking. I am the Queen Mother, how could Prince An be disrespectful to me?!"
She thought she had covered it up well, but what else could Xiao Ce not see through?
very good!
Xiao Yi not only coveted Qin Zhao in this life, but also dared to take Qin Zhao's idea in his previous life.
You can imagine how miserable Qin Zhao's life in the harem was after his death.
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce's tense jawline, he knew that nothing he could say would be of any use.
Obviously Xiao Ce has guessed something. As a man, who can tolerate his woman being coveted by other men? That person is Xiao Yi, Xiao Ce's younger brother.
"Your Majesty..." Qin Zhao gently tugged on Xiao Ce's sleeve.
The next moment, Xiao Ce hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body. He whispered almost silently: "I failed to protect you."
Qin Zhao's depressed mood disappeared at this moment. She curved her lips and smiled: "What stupid thing did the emperor say? Although I am useless, I can protect myself. The emperor was not with me at that time, but
I, my concubine, will always remember that I am the Emperor’s woman.”
Even if Xiao Yi put pressure on her countless times, didn't she still protect herself in the end?
No one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do.
Xiao Ce didn't know what to say, so he could only hold her tighter, as if he could protect her in this life.
I don't know how long it took before Qin Zhao emerged from Xiao Ce's arms. By this time, Xiao Ce's mood seemed to have returned to normal.
Qin Zhao still understood Xiao Ce's temperament, and she could see that Xiao Ce was not as calm as he seemed on the surface.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have never suffered any loss. Moreover, it was all in the past life. It's just like a dream." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's hand.
What he cared about most was that he left too early in his previous life and failed to protect their mother and son.
It just means that he cares about her.
"How could you suddenly have a heart attack?!" Xiao Ce suddenly asked, "Did you become ill later on?"
Qin Zhao shook his head: "It's nothing. I've always been in good health. But that time, for some reason, I suddenly felt unbearable pain. I don't know what happened."
She also once doubted whether someone had killed her.
But the only person with the motive to poison her should be Xiao Yi, right? But Xiao Yi hasn't got her body yet, so how can he poison her?
It doesn't make sense logically.
But she had never had any problems with her heart function, but that time she suddenly felt pain, which was strange no matter how she thought about it.
"Pain without cause, and death due to it, is probably man-made." Xiao Ce said every word.
Qin Zhao felt that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Ce's logic.
Even if someone did kill her, it probably wasn't Xiao Yi's intention. Because Xiao Yi came to see her on the day she suffered a heart attack, and Xiao Yi had no murderous intention at that time.
If it wasn’t Xiao Yi, who could it be?
She had never dealt with Concubine Hu in her previous life, and she didn't know if Xiao Yi had a Concubine Hu. But if she blocked Concubine Hu's way, Concubine Hu would probably send someone to attack her.
Didn't she find out recently that the Hu family had packed a lot of people into the palace?
Among these people were palace servants, chamberlains, and possibly concubines. If one of these concubines did not leave the palace after Xiao Ce's death, and there was a chance to get close to her, wouldn't it be easy to attack her?
Even if they are not concubines, the palace servants and chamberlains sent to the palace by the Hu family have stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and they are likely to be in high positions.
It is not difficult to get close to her, the Queen Mother, and attack her.
"What the emperor said makes sense. But it all happened in the last life, and we can't go back to find the truth." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's arm and shook it: "Your Majesty, please don't mind me. I am very lucky to be reborn."
return."
"I will protect myself in this life." Xiao Ce said seriously.
Only if he lives a long life can he protect Qin Zhao and his son and allow them to live a stable life.
Qin Zhao smiled softly, "I have never doubted this."
Xiao Ce has been so busy recently. In addition to wanting to make her his queen, he is also naturally preparing to eliminate future troubles.
