Chapter 476 Regret, pity...
"It's getting late. My sister should go back and rest early. My sister came here specifically to remind me at such a late hour. My sister is thoughtful." Qin Zhao said and looked at Baozhu, asking Baozhu to send Zuo Liangyuan back to rest.
Seeing that Qin Zhao was not unhappy at all, Zuo Liangyuan felt relieved and left Wangyue Residence.
As soon as Zuo Liangyuan left, Baoyu complained: "His Royal Highness, it's true that he followed Nian Su to the imperial garden at this time. What will outsiders think if they see this? His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and Nian Su is now the empress Shu.
People in the palace who didn't know it thought they were having a private meeting in the middle of the night."
"I'm also curious about what Nian Su had to say to His Highness the Crown Prince, so that His Highness the Crown Prince would still stay with Nian Su at this moment." Qin Zhao thought that Nian Su must know something.
Nian Su is reborn and should know many unknown secrets. In this way, Nian Su can use these secrets to seduce Xiao Ce.
Things that interest Xiao Ce must not be simple.
At this time, Zuo Liangyuan came back from delivering the orbs and said, "I think Nian Su's real purpose is to stay with His Highness the Crown Prince on this special day."
Today is the birthday of His Highness the Crown Prince. Until now, Liang Di’s birthday gifts have not been delivered to His Highness the Crown Prince. And Nian Su chose today to call His Highness the Crown Prince away. Doesn’t this make it clear that he wants to celebrate the birthday with His Highness the Crown Prince?
"This is the saddest thing about Nian Su. Her thoughts that cannot be exposed to the light can only be hidden in the most secret corners, and she dare not tell anyone, including His Highness the Crown Prince."
Qin Zhao looked at the time and saw that it was already Haishi.
In another half hour, it will be Zishi. Once Zishi passes, Xiao Ce's birthday will have passed.
She took out the sachet she had already embroidered, thinking that if Xiao Ce had not come before midnight, there would be no need to give this sachet. After all, after a certain time, it would no longer be a so-called birthday gift.
About two-quarters of an hour later, Baoyu saw that Xiao Ce hadn't come back yet. She was so anxious that she was spinning in circles: "It's true, Your Highness, why haven't you come back yet?"
Seeing that the fifteenth day is about to pass, didn't Liangdi wait in vain all day?
Qin Zhao carefully looked at the sachet in her hand. The embroidery work on it was rough, but it was her best embroidery work. She always felt that it was not suitable for someone like Xiao Ce to wear such a sachet.
"Liangdi can't..."
When Baoyu reacted, he found that Liangdi had already lit the sachet.
Bao Zhu did not expect such a result. She remembered that it took Liang Di several days to make the sachet. During this period, it was taken apart and sewn, sewn and taken apart, and Liang Di's hand was pricked more than once.
Liangdi was still thinking about delivering this birthday gift to His Highness the Crown Prince early in the morning today, but who knew the final result would be like this?
"Go to bed early." Qin Zhao finished burning the sachet and felt relaxed.
Just as she was about to lie down to sleep, she saw Baoyu and Baozhu looking at her sadly, and she knew that the two girls had misunderstood.
"I'm thinking that when my embroidery skills get better next year, I'll make a better and more exquisite one. It doesn't take much effort anyway." Qin Zhao smiled: "Why do you look like this?"
"Is Liangdi sad?" Baoyu looked like she was about to cry.
Qin Zhao tugged at the corners of his lips: "Do I look sad? Today is the last day of the Spring Festival. How could I make myself sad? I'm really fine. What should I say so that you will believe me?"
Baozhu stared at Qin Zhao for a while and found that his master did not look sad.
She took Baoyu's arm and whispered: "Let's go, don't disturb Liangdi's rest."
After leaving the dormitory, Baoyu asked in a low voice: "Aren't you worried about Liangdi?"
"There's nothing to worry about. Liangdi is indeed not sad. It's just the two of us who are overthinking." Baozhu responded.
But it's not a happy thing either.
Liang Di is too rational and doesn't use emotions. Does this mean she doesn't care about His Royal Highness as much as before? Or maybe Liang Di has her own set of ideas.
She remembered Liangdi saying that she would have to stay in the harem for a long time in the future. During such a long time, she must learn to have her own fun and learn to mediate with herself.
In the bedroom, Qin Zhao looked at the swaying lights in the corner. She took out the pair of small bells from under the pillow. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
How great would it be if I could renew the fate of mother and son with He Xiaoyuanzi in this life?
When Xiao Ce came to Wangyueju, it was already past midnight.
He saw Qin Zhao sleeping peacefully, with the little bell he gave her in her hand.
That day, he heard from Zhang Jixiang that Qin Zhao especially liked little bells, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He thought Zhang Jixiang was exaggerating, but now that he saw Qin Zhao holding the little bell while sleeping, she really liked it.
This little thing.
He pressed a kiss on Qin Zhao's forehead and felt it was a pity.
Today is his twentieth birthday, and it is also the first year that she has been with him. On such a meaningful day, he failed to spend it with her.
He did not wake up Qin Zhao and left Wangyue Residence quietly.
As soon as Qin Zhao woke up the next day, he heard that the Yangxin Hall had changed a group of people last night, and it was Xiao Ce who handled the matter personally.
"I don't know what big thing happened, but His Highness the Crown Prince changed a group of people overnight. By the way, yesterday the Crown Prince came to visit Wangyue Residence, but Liangdi fell asleep. After that, His Highness the Crown Prince went to Yangxin
Palace." Baoyu told Qin Zhao what he had learned.
Qin Zhao took a sip of porridge and said, "That's it."
Nian Su chose that special day last night to let Xiao Ce go with her. It must have been something valuable. Could it be related to the emperor's illness?
When she first entered the East Palace, the emperor was in good health and seemed to have no problems. The emperor collapsed because Wu Guifei fainted after being stimulated.
From that day on, the emperor's health deteriorated day by day.
She never thought that the emperor would be suddenly stimulated by Concubine Wu and faint, but there was another hidden reason.
Could it be that Concubine Wu killed the emperor?
Qin Zhao quickly rejected this possibility.
The emperor was Concubine Wu's support in the harem, and Concubine Wu could not be stupid enough to harm the emperor no matter what.
Excluding Concubine Wu, she really couldn't think of anyone who would be bold enough to attack the emperor.
The people served in Yangxin Palace are all old people. It is not easy to bribe people from Yangxin Palace, so that person has certain connections in the palace. Could it be other concubines in the harem?
Or maybe he was an enemy of the emperor who had been lurking in the harem for a long time, waiting for the right opportunity to attack the emperor?
In the study room, Ruxi found that Qin Zhao was distracted. His eyes were clearly fixed on the book, but his mind was not on it at all.
When lunch was approaching, Xiao Ce came to the study, his voice a little hoarse: "Zhao Zhao..."
Qin Zhao met Xiao Ce's bloodshot eyes. She stood up quickly and asked, "Why are you here, Your Highness?"
