Thinking of this possibility, Qin Zhao was very excited.
There is still a tough battle to fight next. She must not make Xiao Yi suspicious, and she must cooperate well with Xiao Ce. The most important thing is that she must protect herself and her children.
She winked at Bao Zhu, Bao Zhu understood, and the two hid in the study.
Soon she heard Zuo Zhaorong's footsteps approaching, and knew that Zuo Zhaorong was here to test her. Next, she wanted to act in a play to show Zuo Zhaorong her acting skills.
When Zuo Zhaorong came to the study, Baozhu immediately came forward and said: "Empress Zhaorong has come just in time, can you help me to persuade the empress?"
"What's wrong?" Zuo Zhaorong saw Qin Zhao's pale face and Qin Zhao's empty eyes at a glance, as if he had lost his backbone.
"The empress said she wanted to leave the palace to see the emperor. But the empress has just been stimulated. The emperor is already four months old and needs to rest peacefully." Baozhu said, and handed the letter he had received before to Zuo Zhaorong to read.
After Zuo Zhaorong finished reading, he went to Qin Zhao and said softly: "Sister, I need to rest now. Why don't you go to bed and lie down for a while?"
Qin Zhao's confused eyes met Zuo Zhaorong's concerned eyes, and she shook her head: "I want to see the emperor."
She then said to Baozhu: "Baozhu, go and pack it up. I will leave the palace later."
Baozhu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Zuo Zhaorong for help.
Zuo Zhaorong was eager for Qin Zhao to leave the palace immediately, so that it would be easier for her to attack. As long as Qin Zhao stepped out of the palace, she would let Qin Zhao never return!
"Sister, you can't be willful! Think about it, sister, His Highness the Crown Prince is still so young, can I rest assured that His Highness the Crown Prince is alone in the palace? There are also the flesh and blood in my sister's belly..."
"I don't care, I want to see the emperor, and the emperor needs me now!!" Qin Zhao shouted at the top of his lungs, interrupting Zuo Zhaorong's chatter.
Her empty beautiful eyes quickly filled with tears, condensed into tears, and fell down bit by bit.
Perhaps the force was too strong, and she fell into Baozhu's arms before she could even lift it up.
Qin Zhao's "fainting" made Zuo Zhaorong frown.
The others were busy, and Baoping immediately examined Qin Zhao. As soon as she took Qin Zhao's pulse, she knew that Qin Zhao was not unconscious.
But she was very capable of reacting on the spot, and she helped Qin Zhao get the needle as if nothing had happened, and Qin Zhao "woke up" at the right time.
"How can I travel a long distance with a body like yours? Your Majesty, you must not do anything stupid." Baozhu's eyes turned red and she quickly tried to dissuade her.
Upon seeing this, Baoping also agreed: "This baby needs to be well cared for and cannot be stimulated by any more, let alone leave the palace!"
Zuo Zhaorong was watching the bustle of Kunning Palace from the sidelines. She hoped that if Qin Zhao continued to make troubles about leaving the palace, or if he was stimulated a little more, the pregnancy would be gone.
If she could kill two people, it would save trouble and she wouldn't need to take action anymore.
"Empress Zhaorong, please go back first, the empress needs to rest." Baozhu was busy for a while, then he seemed to remember that Zuo Zhaorong was left hanging aside, and said hurriedly.
Zuo Zhaorong didn't want to stay any longer, so he pretended to comfort Qin Zhao a few words, and then Shi Shiran left Kunning Palace.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Kunning Palace, she smiled: "I didn't expect that Kunning Palace would also have a day of chaos."
When the news spread that Xiao Ce was seriously ill, the court would definitely be in turmoil. Even if Zhao Yu was appointed to supervise the country on his behalf, the hearts of the courtiers would also be unstable.
Hongxian could see that his master was in a good mood, and agreed with a smile: "Yeah, who didn't look at the face of the person in Kunning Palace in the past? Now when something happens to the emperor, there is no one who can make the decision. I don't know when the time comes.
What kind of situation is it?"
What she was thinking about was that it was hard to say who the monarch of Da Qi would be if he died today. His Highness the Crown Prince was still young, and Zhao Yu could not always supervise the country. After all, His Highness Prince An was still here.
If His Highness Prince An takes control of the government by then, the face of Da Qi will change.
On the way back to Xianfu Palace, Zuo Zhaorong's mood had never been more subtle.
Thinking about the years she had been in the palace, she had been very depressed every day. The only time she felt comfortable was when she dedicated herself to Xiao Yi.
But after that, Xiao Yi didn't want to see her again, leaving her worrying about gains and losses.
Xiao Ce is about to die. Xiao Yi has been waiting for so many years and is finally able to take over. Why is she unhappy?
After returning to Xianfu Palace, Zuo Zhaorong's excitement gradually calmed down.
She knew that even if Xiao Ce died, she did not need to relax too much. After all, her opponent was Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao was a woman who not only fascinated Xiao Ce, but Xiao Yi was also fascinated by Qin Zhao.
If Xiao Yi becomes the king of Da Qi one day, Qin Zhao will definitely be taken into the harem by Xiao Yi. With Xiao Yi's love for Qin Zhao, won't Qin Zhao still ride on her head and run wild?
So there is only one thing she has to do, and that is to kill Qin Zhao before Xiao Yi gets his hands on Qin Zhao!
Only in this way can she sit back and relax.
Kunning Palace.
After Zuo Zhaorong left, Qin Zhao returned to normal.
"In the next few days, if anyone wants to see me, please tell me that I am unwell and cannot see guests." Qin Zhao ordered Baozhu.
"If Mr. Wu wants to see the empress, will he refuse?" Bao Zhu asked.
There is also His Highness Prince An, who is not someone who refuses just because he wants to.
"I haven't seen anyone in this palace in recent days, including Prince An!" Qin Zhao curled his lips indifferently.
Now that she is heartbroken, how can she still want to see Xiao Yi? Moreover, she has to worry about raising a baby, so wouldn't it be exciting to see Xiao Yi?
Only then did Baozhu come to his senses and understand the profound meaning of Qin Zhao's words.
News about Xiao Ce's sudden inability to move spread quickly, and by the end of the day, everyone who should know had received the news.
So much so that when we went to court the next day, the atmosphere was very strange.
Zhao Yu supervised the country on his behalf, and for a period of time, he accumulated a certain amount of prestige.
He didn't mention the news that Xiao Ce was suddenly unable to move, but that didn't mean that other ministers didn't mention it.
I don’t know who mentioned it first, and then the three groups of people started arguing.
One group is Xiao Ce's absolute supporters, another group is ministers who want to find a way out for themselves, and another group is waiting and watching.
In the end, Xiao Yi spoke up, saying that it was just a rumor at the moment and that Xiao Ce might be fine.
As soon as he opened his mouth, those ministers who were eager to find a way out suddenly felt that they had found their backbone.
Isn't a romantic prince like Xiao Yi the best candidate for the puppet emperor? As long as Xiao Yi is pushed to the throne of the emperor, wouldn't the family glory be at your fingertips?
All the civil and military officials had their own agendas, but Zhao Yu was the only one who seemed to be a spectator, with a calm mind.
As early as when Xiao Ce secretly left the palace and handed over the power of supervising the country to him, he had made up his mind to be loyal to Xiao Ce. If Xiao Ce could not return safely, he would definitely do his best to assist His Royal Highness in enthroning the throne.
As for loyalty to other people, it was not within the scope of his consideration at all, including Xiao Yi.
