Chapter 172 Turning Back (Part 2)
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's satisfied look and took a bite silently. It can only be said that Qin Zhao's taste was a bit strong, spicy and numb. She couldn't put it down, but he didn't feel much.
"Your Highness, don't you like to eat?" Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce's eyebrows slightly furrowed and chatted about everyday things.
He had eaten this dish in his previous life and said he didn't like it.
It seems that this life is no exception.
Xiao Ce still didn't answer.
Qin Zhao saw this and sighed softly.
When he is unhappy, he is not even willing to deal with her. This is a person who is unwilling to wrong himself.
She stopped talking and finished her meal silently, and then drank two more bowls of soup before she put down her bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.
After finishing the meal successfully, of course it means getting down to business.
Xiao Ce didn't take the initiative to speak. Did he want her to confess to him honestly?
"After eating spicy food, I really want to eat sweets. Baoyu, go get some fruit." Qin Zhao's mouth was so spicy that smoke was rising from his mouth.
In addition, it was summer, and she was sweating profusely from the meal just now. On the other hand, Xiao Ce was still refreshed and not as embarrassed as she was.
When Baoyu brought the fruit bowl, the moment Qin Zhao saw the grapes, he suddenly remembered that time when Xiao Ce peeled the grapes in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
She took a grape and threw it into her mouth. This time, Xiao Ce just looked at her expressionlessly and did not take any action. Of course, he had no intention of helping her peel the grape.
"The meal is ready. If your highness has any questions, just ask them directly. I will answer them honestly." Qin Zhao stopped wasting time and went straight to the topic.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Ce suspected that she had poisoned him, and this time he came to investigate.
Although she didn't expect to keep it secret from Min Min for how long, the fact that it took less than a day still surprised her.
Sooner or later, Xiao Ce will have to discuss this matter face to face.
"Did you poison yourself and blame Wang Liangyuan?" Xiao Ce asked in a deep voice.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he still wanted to hear it from Qin Zhao himself.
"Yes." Qin Zhao responded simply.
As soon as her answer came out, Xiao Ce's face became even more gloomy: "Why do you do this?"
"I can't stand her hypocrisy. I always do whatever I want, but suddenly I felt that I should punish her, so I decided to take action." Qin Zhao responded quietly.
She also felt that the punishment was not strong enough. It would be more satisfying if she had to torture Wang Liangyuan herself.
"How did you become like this?" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao in disbelief.
Qin Zhao laughed when he heard this: "I am this kind of person. Does Your Highness have any misunderstanding about my temperament? Didn't His Highness say before that I won't learn from it? Facts have proved that nature is hard to change and I can't learn from it.
, and I don’t want to learn well. Just like when I wanted to leave the palace and didn’t want to be His Highness’s woman, there were too many rules in the palace, and I didn’t like to be restrained. But since I stayed in the East Palace, I also thought about working hard, maybe
You can change yourself and make yourself better. Your Highness has seen the results. I am still willful and willful. I will remove those who can't stand it. If I encounter the same people and things again in the future, I will still make the same decision."
"Even now, do you still think you are justified?" Xiao Ce said in a deep voice, unable to believe that this is the woman he insists on keeping.
He thought she was not such a person.
"Your Highness can't understand what I did, just as I can't understand why His Highness thinks I'm wrong, and none of us can convince the other." Qin Zhao's smile gradually faded: "Since the words are not conducive, Your Highness might as well invite you, I don't want to talk to Your Highness
Quarrel."
Xiao Ce's face was gloomy: "You stay in Wangyue Residence and think about your mistakes. When did you realize you were wrong..."
"I will probably never think that I am at fault in this life. Is it possible that His Highness wants to imprison me for the rest of my life?" Qin Zhao interrupted Xiao Ce with a sneer.
Xiao Ce felt like he had just met Qin Zhao for the first time. He had always thought that she was weak and helpless, but what she did today proved that she was the stronger one.
"I don't seem to recognize you anymore..."
There was disappointment that could not be concealed in his eyes. Qin Zhao saw it clearly and felt bitter in his heart.
This is who she is, she is good at calculations and not a good person, but in Xiao Ce's inherent impression, she feels that she is a good person.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me all the time. I send you to Your Highness." Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce and walked away without looking back, and bowed and saluted.
It wasn't until Xiao Ce had gone far that Baozhu came to Qin Zhao and asked, "Why doesn't Liangdi explain it to His Highness?"
Perhaps His Highness will be able to understand Liang Di after knowing what Wang Liangyuan did.
"Is there any explanation? It's a fact that I poisoned myself. From the moment I took action, I should have had this awareness. The room was stuffy, so I went out for a walk." Qin Zhao said, went out of the room and went
Go to the patio and look at the darkened sky, which seems to be petrified.
Si Bao stood silently behind Qin Zhao, no one dared to come forward and speak.
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment and then said: "If I am no longer here one day, you guys have to take care of yourselves."
"What did Liangdi say? What does it mean to be gone?" As soon as Baoyu heard this, he rushed over and his face changed.
Qin Zhao turned to look at her: "I just feel that there are unpredictable things in the sky. Who knows what will happen next moment? If I happen to be away from the palace and not with you, you need to take care of yourselves. There are many traps in the palace, and you are just
Palace maid, you must protect yourself at this time."
She and Xiao Ce had finished saying what they wanted to say, and they had to explain it to the people closest to them.
"Liangdi is not going anywhere, she is just in the palace, and the servants will always protect Liangdi." Then Baozhu answered.
"Okay, I'm not going anywhere, you will protect me for the rest of my life." Seeing the tears in Baozhu's eyes, how could Qin Zhao say no?
Perhaps because of something she said, the Four Treasures guarded her in two groups that night, which made her feel moved and guilty at the same time.
She had a good night's sleep, but these girls didn't get much rest.
The next morning, Qin Zhao specially called Baoping to him and told Baoping to make a rouge box for her in case of emergency...
In the main hall, Nian Su knelt all night.
After Xiao Ce returned to the main hall, he neither looked at Nian Su nor let Nian Su get up.
Although he didn't know the outcome of the cross-examination, Nian Su knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was angry. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who poisoned her was indeed Qin Liangdi herself, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince would not vent his anger on her.
After kneeling all night, her legs were numb, but she did not regret doing so at all.
A woman with evil intentions like Qin Liangdi is indeed not worthy of His Highness. It is a good thing that Your Highness sees through Qin Liangdi's true face as soon as possible.
Xiao Ce went to the morning and when he passed by Nian Su, he slowed down and said, "Get up."
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness." Nian Su thanked her in a low voice and watched Xiao Ce walk away, her heart as heavy as her legs.
——
Zhao Zhao is indeed not a good person, and good people cannot have the last laugh in a place like the harem. Although Zhao Zhao has many shortcomings, I still feel that this character is flesh and blood.
Please give me a monthly vote, please stay stable, and please don’t lose my ranking again.
