Chapter 265: Being grounded again
Qin Zhao said and kissed Xiao Ce hard on the face: "Your Highness saved me again today. Meeting Your Highness is the greatest blessing in my life."
After she finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Ce's waist and felt very safe.
It seems that as long as Xiao Ce is here, all difficulties are no longer difficulties. She likes this sense of stability.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's peaceful sleeping face, and the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided.
Although I failed to execute Concubine Wu today, there will be opportunities in the future. There is no need to worry. My father cannot protect Concubine Wu forever.
As for Wu Liangyuan, it becomes more difficult...
Two days later, Wu Xiyu was lifted from the ban.
She heard that Concubine Wu was thrown into the cold palace, so she went to the main hall to ask Xiao Ce about it.
Xiao Ce did not look Wu Xiyu in the eyes, nor did he answer Wu Xiyu's questions, which made Wu Xiyu very anxious because Xiao Ce would not have been so cold to her before.
"Your Highness, please give me a word. Is your Highness forcing the emperor to put the imperial concubine in the cold palace?"
How could Xiao Ce be so heartless?
"I'm very busy." Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang and opened his lips indifferently.
Zhang Jixiang immediately understood. He went to Wu Xiyu and said, "Liangyuan, please go back to Qiu first to see the autumn. His Highness is busy with business and no one is allowed to disturb him."
Wu Xiyu was unwilling to leave like this. She missed Zhang Jixiang and rushed to Xiao Ce to question: "I just want a word from His Highness, isn't this okay? Your Highness must be deceived by Sister Qin, so he follows you everywhere."
The noble concubine is against..."
"Take Wu Liangyuan back to Wangqiu Pavilion and continue to confine her. Wu Liangyuan is not allowed to step out of Wangqiu Pavilion without Gu's permission!" Xiao Ce did not want to listen to Wu Xiyu anymore and gave an order in a cold voice.
Wu Xiyu's face changed slightly.
She had just been lifted from the ban, but Xiao Ce issued another ban. Wouldn't she become the laughing stock of the East Palace?
"How could Your Highness treat me like this? How do the sisters in the East Palace view me?" She was about to cry and couldn't understand why Xiao Ce was so cold-blooded.
"Zhang Jixiang, take this person away!" Xiao Ce did not hide his impatience.
As long as he thought of the scene where Qin Zhao was almost hanged from a tree, he couldn't put on a good face towards Wu Xiyu.
After he deliberately snubbed Qin Zhao, he did not make Qin Zhao's life better than before. In this case, why should he make a show in front of Wu Xiyu again?
Wu Xiyu's face was pale and her tears couldn't stop falling, but Xiao Ce never looked at her.
She was so ashamed and angry that she turned around and ran out of the main hall.
Her speed was very fast. When Zhang Jixiang chased her out of the main hall, Wu Xiyu had disappeared. He thought Wu Xiyu had returned to Wangqiu Pavilion, so he went to Wangqiu Pavilion.
In fact, after Wu Xiyu ran out of the main hall, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, so she simply ran into Wangyue Residence and wanted to question Qin Zhao face to face.
Qin Zhao was working hard in the study to pick up piano scores and wanted to learn a few more pieces of music in case he needed them in case of emergencies. At this moment, Wu Xiyu rushed in.
There is a cup of tea on the desk, which must have been freshly brewed. White mist is curling up. Qin Zhao's face is just behind the white mist, like looking at flowers in the mist. It is not very realistic and has a hazy beauty.
When Wu Xiyu rushed in, what he saw was the peaceful scene of this time.
"Sister Qin..." Wu Xiyu opened her lips with difficulty.
It was this woman who took everything away from her. If it weren't for Qin Zhao, she wouldn't be reduced to what she is now. She wouldn't be just a little good girl, let alone be treated like this by Xiao Ce.
Why is she living in such a miserable life? The imperial concubine's aunt was also thrown into the cold palace because of Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao still lives so comfortably?
Why?!
"Sister is here?" Qin Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Wu Xiyu with a gentle look on his face.
Wu Xiyu clenched her fists and said hoarsely: "I came here just to ask why the imperial concubine was thrown into the cold palace? Did my sister do something?!"
"You have to ask my sister and the imperial concubine. Didn't you want to kill me and start the trouble? Since I'm not dead, then the imperial concubine will have to suffer the consequences. My sister will not be so naive these days when she enters the East Palace.
Do you think you don't have to pay for doing bad things?" Qin Zhao smiled lightly, and the room was suddenly filled with spring.
"I, I don't know what sister is talking about." Wu Xiyu's eyes flashed slightly.
The imperial concubine's aunt said that there was a way to get rid of Qin Zhao. Even if Qin Zhao did not die, Qin Zhao would be stripped of his skin. By then, Qin Zhao would no longer be a threat to her.
When she learned about this, she volunteered and decided to block all Qin Zhao's escape routes.
Qin Zhao would ask His Highness the Crown Prince to serve as reinforcements every time. This time she wanted to eliminate this possibility. As long as she held off His Highness the Crown Prince and gave the Concubine and Aunt enough time, she would definitely be able to make it happen.
Unexpectedly, the result of her waiting was that the imperial concubine's aunt was thrown into the cold palace, while Qin Zhao was still fine without any damage.
A master of palace fighting like the imperial concubine and aunt could not get rid of Qin Zhao, but instead put herself in the cold palace. How could this be?
"Of course you know. Although you don't have the deep scheming of the imperial concubine, you have inherited the viciousness of the imperial concubine. It's a pity that I was lucky and did not die in the hands of the imperial concubine. You must be very disappointed, right?" Qin Zhao's face
The smile gradually faded.
Wu Xiyu still had the nerve to question her as to why Concubine Wu was banished to the cold palace.
Concubine Wu had committed such a crime and should have been executed if it had not been for the emperor's protection.
"Sister, I, I really don't know..." Wu Xiyu took two steps back, trying to deny Qin Zhao's statement.
But she felt extremely guilty.
She did know that the imperial concubine's aunt wanted to get rid of Qin Zhao and was trying her best to cooperate. She just didn't expect that someone like the imperial concubine's aunt would fall into Qin Zhao's hands. This was incredible.
"Stop acting in front of me, I'm not interested in your poor acting skills." Qin Zhao said and looked at Baozhu: "See you off!"
Baozhu immediately went to Wu Xiyu and "asked" Wu Xiyu to leave.
At this time, Zhang Jixiang came over and sent Wu Xiyu back to Wangqiu Pavilion.
After Wu Xiyu stepped into Wangqiu Pavilion, she watched the door of Wangqiu Pavilion close.
She felt sad and confused.
The imperial concubine and aunt were both thrown into the cold palace because of Qin Zhao. She was grounded again. Who can she rely on from now on?
"Liangyuan, don't be anxious. I heard that the Queen Mother is about to return to the palace. When the Queen Mother returns to the palace, she will make the decision for Liangyuan and the imperial concubine." Aunt Zhong saw that Wu Xiyu was in a low mood and comforted her.
Wu Xiyu's eyes lit up when she heard Nanny Zhong mentioning the Queen Mother: "Are you sure the Queen Mother will return to the palace soon?"
"I'm sure, I heard that we have already set off to return to Kyoto. She will return to the palace within half a month at the latest. By then, the imperial concubine will definitely be rescued by the empress dowager, and Liangyuan will no longer need to be grounded." Aunt Zhong answered firmly.
It is not a secret that the Empress Dowager and the general will return to the palace. Many people know that the imperial concubine has specifically mentioned this matter to her before, so it cannot be wrong.
