Chapter 194 Leaving without saying goodbye
At this time, a jailer moved a stool to Xiao Ce. After Xiao Ce sat down, he explained his purpose: "I came here to ask you something. In the palace, who gave you convenience and allowed you to enter and leave the East Palace freely?
Go to Qin Zhao?"
"How do I know? The other party sent me a letter and asked me to take Qin Zhao away. He also said that he could cooperate with me inside and outside. By the way, the exit token I got belongs to Concubine Shu. Maybe you should ask Concubine Shu how
What's going on? Or maybe I should go seek justice from the Emperor of Da Qi." Seth suddenly smiled weirdly.
Xiao Ce saw Seth's sinister smile and thought of Qin Zhao's words.
She said that Seth intended to replace the crown prince of the Dayue clan and become the king of the Dayue clan. Originally, Qin Zhao could only believe a third of what he said, but after talking to Seth for a while, he suddenly felt that Qin Zhao's words were right.
Seth must be removed and he must not be given the chance to become the king of the Great Yuezhi. This man is very restless.
His mind was spinning a thousand times, but his face remained calm.
"Gu Ye just learned that the second prince was mistakenly arrested, so he came here to clarify this little misunderstanding. If there is nothing else, you can leave." Xiao Ce said and stood up.
Seth didn't expect Xiao Ce to let him go so easily. He thought he was caught because of Xiao Ce's instructions.
If Xiao Ce really arrested him, why did he let him go so quickly?
After all, he kidnapped Qin Zhao. If Xiao Ce cared about Qin Zhao, shouldn't he be angry for Qin Zhao?
"Are you sure you want to let me go?" Seth still couldn't believe his good luck.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, why don't you let it go?" Xiao Ce asked back.
Seth was speechless for a moment.
He always felt that Xiao Ce was not an easy person to deal with, so letting him go easily made him uneasy.
Xiao Ce didn't look like he was joking, so he had to swallow the doubts in his heart.
At this time, a jailer came forward and opened the cell door. When he came out, he found that Xiao Ce had gone away.
When he walked out of the Yamen, his bodyguards were also released, including Anu.
"Is your Highness okay?" Anu rushed to Seth and asked immediately.
Seth nodded: "I'm fine. I just don't know what Xiao Ce was up to. He suddenly let me go, but I felt bad."
"Maybe His Highness is overthinking. Someone just came to explain to me, saying it was a misunderstanding, and apologized to the subordinates. He also said that it was not his intention to make His Highness suffer." Anu is relatively simple-minded and doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.
.
Other guards also agreed. Seth glanced at everyone and then at the sky: "Find a place to rest first, and we will decide whether to stay or not tomorrow."
Now that Xiao Ce already knows that he is in Changzhou, it is impossible for him to rob people again.
It's just a pity that it was so hard to kidnap Qin Zhao from the palace, but it was all in vain, causing him to be delayed in Daqi for these days.
Seth was imprisoned for a day, went to the inn, asked for an upper room, and fell asleep.
The next day he slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. When he asked, he learned that Xiao Ce had left Changzhou with Qin Zhao and headed for Kyoto.
Qin Zhao, the party involved, has the most say in this matter.
She got up early in the morning, stretched her waist, and felt that her waist and abdomen were not so distended. At this time, Xiao Ce suddenly came in and asked her if she was feeling better. She was an honest person, so of course she answered truthfully.
Following her, Xiao Ce took her into the carriage without even having time to say hello to Zhao Yu and Xiao Yi.
She got a little depressed after getting on the carriage and sat in the corner.
Although she had not been in Changzhou for a long time, she still cared about little Mengmeng. She had rescued the little girl, but she abandoned the child and left as soon as she said she wanted.
Although Li Gan was here and would definitely take good care of Mengmeng, she still felt that she should say hello to them before leaving.
"If you are thinking about the children in the ruined temple, don't worry. Gu has already arranged their place. Starting from tomorrow, they will have their own house, and they will also have books to study in the future. If Li Gan has a future, he will
You can go to Beijing and serve the imperial court." Xiao Ce saw through Qin Zhao's thoughts: "This is their life, and you, an outsider, cannot make the decision."
Qin Zhao couldn't hide his surprise: "Your Highness, why..."
She had never mentioned this matter to Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce had only arrived in Changzhou yesterday, and the two of them had never spoken about anything other than arguing.
"Can your worries be hidden from Gu's eyes? Don't worry, they will be fine. You can just go back to the palace with Gu. Or maybe you have someone else you are worried about?" Xiao Ce's last sentence was quite meaningful.
Qin Zhao didn't know what he meant. Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, he always felt a little weird.
"I care about the people of Changzhou. Many people have been displaced and it is not easy to rebuild their homes." Qin Zhao said, looking directly at Xiao Ce and said: "When His Highness ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people."
"Don't say such treasonous words." Xiao Ce scolded, but his expression softened.
Knowing that she only cared about the common people made him feel good, but it couldn't be Zhao Yu anyway.
"I made a mistake." Qin Zhao said, lifting the curtain of the carriage, "I wonder if I can come to Changzhou again in my lifetime?"
She didn't know if her death in June was over.
If not, maybe this is the last look.
Qin Zhao was never a person who was sad about spring and autumn, but he felt a little panicked for no reason.
Seeing that she was unhappy, Xiao Ce comforted her softly: "When I have time after I become an orphan, I will come to Changzhou with you again."
Qin Zhao was happy when he heard what he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a busy man, I don't dare to have such extravagant thoughts."
By then, Xiao Ce would have to care about many people, not just the entire harem, but also the people of the world. She, a little concubine, was really not worth mentioning.
"This is not an extravagant wish. This time it is because my father is in poor health and I need to return to the capital as soon as possible. I can only take you back to the capital as soon as possible. If possible, I hope you can play outside the palace for a longer time." Xiao Ce rarely asked.
Explain one more thing.
He knew that this girl liked a free life outside the palace, but since she was his beloved, she had to be with him.
Seeing him talking about this, Qin Zhao nodded silently: "His Highness knew that I was kidnapped and chased me out of the palace as soon as possible. This is a great grace. If something like this happens again in the future, Your Highness should focus on the overall situation.
, and I will find a way to save myself from the predicament."
"You can save yourself, that's your ability, but it doesn't excuse Gu Bian's inaction. Since you are Gu's good wife and know that you are in danger, how can Gu turn a blind eye? Fortunately, you are not seriously injured, Gu Bian feels at ease."
Xiao Ce sympathized with Qin Zhao's frail body and asked her to lie down and rest.
It was several days' journey back to Kyoto, and she just came to Kuishui. She was not feeling well, but he rushed back to the palace, so he had to wrong her.
Qin Zhao didn't like riding in carriages, and she felt even more uncomfortable due to epilepsy, but she didn't show it on her face.
Fortunately, she was lethargic, and as soon as she fell asleep, any discomfort disappeared.
