"Zhao Zhao, he is just an insignificant person, you don't need to take it to heart." Xiao Ce's voice reached Qin Zhao's ears.
His words sounded almost cold-blooded to outsiders, but Qin Zhao had a filter and felt that this was in line with Xiao Ce's cold nature.
All his tenderness comes from his love for her. She is not someone he cares about, so he naturally has no unnecessary sympathy.
"I just feel pity for their sisters. Although I don't like Nianyun and I don't have a good impression of Xu Cairen, I still feel pity for their sisters." Qin Zhao simply sat up and let out a long breath.
"There are many poor people in this world, including these sisters. Since Xu Cairen entered the palace with his identity and had human lives on his hands, he should have expected that sooner or later he would suffer retribution." Xiao Ce didn't think that Xu Cairen would suffer retribution.
Talented people deserve pity.
"I think the pitiful thing about Xu Cairen is that he has no control over his fate." Qin Zhao scratched his hair and said softly: "Forget it, maybe I'm overthinking, and I'm not a good person to begin with."
The same is not true of Xu Cairen. It would not be a pity for such a person to die.
Xiao Ce laughed solemnly: "This is the Qin Zhao that I know well."
Whether it's her sunny side or her unknown side, he likes them all.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Zhao didn't understand what Xiao Ce was laughing at.
Xiao Ce hugged her into his arms: "I hope your attention and energy will only be on me, and you don't have to care about other people's lives."
Qin Zhao nodded: "I only care about you."
With a man like Xiao Ce, how can he have any extra energy to spend on other people?
The purpose of her search for talented people was to pull out all the chess pieces that the Hu family had placed in the harem.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too late.
But it didn't matter, she had a hunch that no matter how deep that person was hidden, she could still find him out, and it might not take long.
When Qin Zhao got up early the next day, Nianyun had already arrived at Kunning Palace and said he wanted to see her.
After washing and having breakfast, Qin Zhaocai called to see Nianyun.
With just one glance, she felt that Nian Yun seemed to have aged several years. Nian Yun's eyes were all green and black, and the light in his eyes was gone.
"Sit down." Qin Zhao suddenly felt that Nianyun was a little pitiful.
"It's fine, slave, just stand." Nianyun was still measured after all, and always remembered his identity as a slave.
Qin Zhao did not insist and said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
She knew why Nianyun came.
Nianyun was silent for a moment and then said: "When did the empress know that Master Xu is my slave's sister?"
"It was recently discovered that there is a black hand in this harem waiting for an opportunity to deal with me. I am investigating that person, and Xu Cairen happens to be one of that person's subordinates. To be precise, there is a group of people in this harem.
Doing things for the person behind the scenes..."
Qin Zhao briefly told the story of Prince Fengyue, but hid the Hu family and Prince An's palace.
"I wanted to make a deal with Xu Cairen yesterday. She must have been shaken and wanted to see you as my sister. But she didn't expect that Xiao Qingzi would kill her. It was my lack of consideration." Qin Zhao sighed lightly.
With a cry, he admitted that it was his own failure that caused a good game of chess to be lost.
Nianyun was lost for a moment and smiled sadly: "Even if Little Master Xu was not poisoned last night, it is impossible for the Queen to keep her alive, right?"
"Xu Cairen has a lot of blood on his hands. Sitting in my position, I naturally want to uphold justice for those who died in vain. As for whether I can survive, I don't think so long term." Qin Zhao smiled calmly: "I
I just think that the blood relationship is very strange, and Xu Cairen’s temperament is actually very similar to yours."
Whether it's Xu Cairen or Nianyun, they are both scheming people and people who do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. That's why Xu Cairen can do so many things without leaving any traces, and Nianyun can also become the Queen Mother Guo
confidant.
Nianyun looked directly at Qin Zhao with empty eyes: "I should hate your Majesty, but I know your Majesty is not wrong."
In her position and seeking her position, Qin Zhao is the queen, and everything she does is consistent with her status as queen.
"I still regret that your sisters could not recognize each other during their lifetime. Li Yunv said that it was your sister that Xu Cairen could not forget when he died..."
Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, he saw Nian Yun's eyes turning red.
Nianyun had stayed in the harem for so many years and helped Queen Mother Guo do a lot of dirty things. Such a person's heart has long been cold and hardened, but for such a person, a certain place in her heart is still soft.
"If your Majesty one day finds out who is behind Mr. Feng Yue, can you tell me?" Nianyun quickly returned to normal, as if she was not the one who was jealous before.
"Okay, you wait for news from me." Qin Zhao happily agreed.
"My slave, please leave." Nianyun bowed and stepped back.
Qin Zhao watched Nianyun go away and couldn't help but think that the person who could make Xiao Qingzi attack Xu Cairen was really capable.
That person calculated every step very carefully, taking steps step by step, and anticipated all possibilities.
She could see that Xiao Qingzi cared about Xu Cairen, so she didn't guard against Xiao Qingzi.
But it was Xiao Qingzi who ruined her big event.
Qin Zhao still felt nauseous.
Especially after Nianyun left, several concubines suddenly came to greet her, chattering non-stop.
I don't know whether Xiao Ce was free today or because he knew she was not in a good mood, but this man came to Kunning Palace in the morning and brought a bouquet of flowers.
When Xiao Ce appeared in front of everyone with a bouquet of flowers, everyone was dumbfounded. Only Qin Zhao, the person involved, took the flowers naturally and asked: "The emperor picked this when he passed by the Mingyuan, and gave it to me by the way."
Concubine’s flowers?”
Xiao Ce didn't send flowers that many times, but every time he sent flowers, he was passing by. By the way, this man was very concerned about face.
"I went to Yunmingyuan to pick flowers and send them to you." Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao tenderly and asked, "Do you still like it?"
"I like it very much." Qin Zhao smiled brightly, and the previous depression was gone.
The emperor and empress chatted about some trivial matters naturally, and the few charming guests who were stunned at first finally came to their senses.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have expected that a cold-hearted man like the emperor would treat a woman so tenderly, and even specially send flowers.
Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you know how good the relationship between the emperor and the empress was.
To be precise, the emperor was very kind to the empress and doted on her very much.
An emperor like Xiao Ce is so busy on weekdays, but today he went to Mingyuan to pick flowers in person and deliver them to Kunning Palace, all just to please the Queen.
And these people don't even have the qualifications to be jealous.
The concubines who returned this time came to greet Qin Zhao because they wanted to have a good relationship with Qin Zhao and not have so much hostility towards Qin Zhao.
Seeing Xiao Ce coming, everyone had a tacit understanding and stood up to say goodbye.
