Qin Zhao had nothing to say. She really cared about Xiao Ce and couldn't bear to see him not resting well.
If she didn't leave the small Buddhist hall, he would definitely stay outside all night. How could she let it go?
They went to the side hall, where they took a bath and went to bed.
Xiao Ce held the person in his arms as he wished, and his inner satisfaction could not be expressed in words.
Qin Zhao glanced at the man from time to time, wondering why this man was so good?
"Don't look at me, go to sleep." Xiao Ce rarely touched Qin Zhao.
But if she continued to look at him like this, he didn't know if he could bear it.
Qin Zhao closed his eyes as he was told and thought to himself that his hard work these past two days was not in vain. At least he rested for two nights and did not indulge himself again.
Hearing Qin Zhao's steady breathing, Xiao Ce opened his eyes and looked at her.
It was good for her, and she could fall asleep as soon as she fell into bed, but it was a pain for him, and in order to resist touching her, he did not dare to go against the rules in the slightest.
That's all, I'll just endure this night and deal with her tomorrow.
Qin Zhao, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea what Xiao Ce was thinking. She slept until dawn, had breakfast in Shoukang Palace, and then took Xiao Atom back to Kunning Palace.
She dealt with some things in the morning and planned to go to the harem for a walk to connect with each other.
Because Xianfu Palace was so close, she thought that she had not even seen Zuo Zhaorong after returning to the palace. Even on the usual day of greetings, Zuo Zhaorong did not come to Kunning Palace because he was ill.
After these days, Zuo Zhaorong should be fine, right?
At this moment, she did not expect that when she arrived, Zuo Zhaorong was not awake yet.
It was Red Line who came out in a hurry to report to her and asked her to wait.
"Is Sister Zuo still in good health?" Qin Zhao asked curiously.
Hongxian lowered his head and replied: "Empress Zhaorong is already well, but she became more sleepy after she recovered, so she got up a little later."
Qin Zhao knew that Hongxian was very nervous when he saw that Hongxian did not raise his head to reply.
She smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I often sleep in. You are busy with your business, I will go in and see Sister Zuo."
The next moment, the red line quickly blocked her way: "The Queen, please wait here. Zhaorong will come out soon. I was afraid that Zhaorong would not be well-groomed, so I bumped into the Queen."
Qin Zhao took a deep look at the red line, but did not go any further and said, "Then I will wait here for a while."
Hongxian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly poured Qin Zhao a cup of tea.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Zuo Zhaorong came out in a hurry.
The moment Qin Zhao saw Zuo Zhaorong, his eyes froze.
The Zuo Zhaorong in front of me seemed different from before. She looked extraordinarily...beautiful.
Her cheeks were crimson and her watery eyes were full of emotion. She looked so lively and not as rigid as before.
"Sister looks different today." Qin Zhao murmured to himself.
Zuo Zhaorong smiled softly: "Maybe it's because I've slept a lot in the past few days and my energy has improved. Why does sister have time to come and sit in my room today?"
Qin Zhao's eyes were still fixed on Zuo Zhaorong's face, and for the first time he felt that Zuo Zhaorong was amazingly beautiful.
The concubines in this harem are all beauties. If they are not beautiful, they cannot enter the harem. Zuo Zhaorong naturally has his own uniqueness.
But after staying in this harem for a long time, it is difficult to even take a look at Xiao Ce. No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will become lifeless.
Zuo Zhaorong gave her the feeling that a pool of stagnant water had been injected with vitality and became vivid.
"I haven't walked around the harem since I returned to the palace from the western suburbs. When I passed by Xianfu Palace, I thought of my sister, so I came over to sit." Qin Zhao lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "This tea tastes good."
"Sister, if you like, drink more." Zuo Zhaorong said, pouring tea for Qin Zhao himself.
Qin Zhao smiled and chatted with Zuo Zhaorong about some personal things while drinking tea.
After sitting for about two-quarters of an hour, Qin Zhao stood up and said goodbye: "Sister, please stop. I will come see you next time."
"Okay, sister, let's go slowly." Zuo Zhaorong stopped seeing Qin Zhao off and watched Qin Zhao go away.
Qin Zhao deliberately slowed down his pace there, but after leaving Xianfu Palace, he still didn't hear Zuo Zhaorong whispering to Hongxian and the others.
Baozhu saw that Qin Zhao was worried, so he looked back at Xianfu Palace and asked: "Is there anything abnormal in Xianfu Palace?"
"I always feel like there's something wrong with Sister Zuo. She looks like..." Qin Zhao hesitated and glanced at Baozhu, an ignorant girl.
Baozhu felt that Qin Zhao's eyes were strange: "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"
"You are a girl who has not left the court, and you don't understand many things." Qin Zhao shook his head.
But she has been there and experienced human affairs, so she understands.
Zuo Zhaorong gave her the feeling of love, as if she had been nourished by a man. But except for Xiao Ce, there was no other man in the harem. Where could Zuo Zhaorong find a man to nourish her?
That's why she felt it was strange, but she still believed that she saw it right.
"The emperor hasn't been walking around the harem recently, has he?" Qin Zhao asked again.
Baozhu felt that the master had asked a stupid question: "The emperor is not only in the Yangxin Palace, but also in the Kunning Palace, and the Kunning Palace is also in the harem. Why does the empress ask this question?"
Qin Zhao smiled: "Yes, that's why I feel weird."
Next, she told Baozhu her guess, and Baozhu's eyes widened after hearing this: "Is your Majesty serious?"
"So you don't understand." Qin Zhao pointed to his face: "I have been here before, so I will be suspicious."
"How is this possible? Could it be that Empress Zhaorong stole it behind the Emperor's back..." Baozhu did not finish his words.
"How is this impossible? Not all concubines can bear to be widowed. After all, life in the harem is too boring. If you meet a man you like, it is normal for you to be unable to help yourself." Qin Zhao said.
Then he laughed.
If Xiao Ce found out that he was cuckolded by Zuo Zhaorong, I wonder what kind of reaction he would have?
Even people like Zuo Zhaorong don't seem to be flirtatious. The other party must have something unique to make Zuo Zhaorong cheat, right?
Could it be that Zuo Zhaorong's adulterer was a member of the Imperial Guard guarding the palace?
"Is it possible that the empress is overthinking?" Bao Zhu still found it incredible.
Qin Zhao did not comment.
Even if Zuo Zhaorong hadn't cheated on her body yet, she might have cheated on her mentally. She wasn't wrong about that look of love on her face.
She is now struggling with whether to tell Xiao Ce about this.
Xiao Ce came to Kunning Palace in the evening and found that Qin Zhao was absent-minded.
"Are you worried?" Xiao Ce lightly poked Qin Zhao's pink cheek.
Qin Zhao pulled Xiao Ce to sit down with a smile that made Xiao Ce's scalp numb: "Why are you smiling like this?"
Very scary.
Qin Zhao nudged Xiao Ce and asked, "What do you mean by smiling like this?"
"It's just a very weird smile." Xiao Ce explained seriously.
Qin Zhao thought of Zuo Zhao's radiant appearance and couldn't help but smile.
After she stopped laughing, she asked about the business: "When was the last time you saw Zuo Zhaorong?"
