Chapter 657 Want to join forces
Xiao Ce looked back at Qin Zhao and said, "I will be back soon."
"Has the Emperor ever thought that if one day I and the Queen Mother turn against each other, the Emperor will have to make a choice between me and the Queen Mother..."
She believed Xiao Ce could understand what Qin Zhao didn't finish.
Queen Mother Guo cannot tolerate her, and she is not a person who refuses to resist when being bullied. Sooner or later, this false peace situation will be broken.
If she and Queen Mother Guo turn against each other in the end, the person who will be most in trouble will definitely be Xiao Ce.
"That won't happen one day!" Xiao Ce was silent for a moment, then left after saying this.
The moment he walked out of Jinyang Palace, Xiao Ce's steps were particularly heavy.
Zhang Jixiang was closest to Xiao Ce, so he naturally noticed that Xiao Ce was in a bad mood.
The hypothesis mentioned by Miss Qin is indeed possible. It is not a secret in the palace that the Queen Mother does not like Miss Qin. Today, for such a grand event, I heard that the Queen Mother did not invite Miss Qin to attend.
Among all the people in the harem, the Empress Dowager was the only one who lost Miss Qin. He did not dare to tell the emperor about this, for fear that the emperor would be upset after hearing about it.
She didn't expect that Princess Yongning would take Miss Qin to the imperial garden. What was even more surprising was that Miss Qin was suddenly poisoned.
"Do you think something like what Zhao Zhao is worried about will happen one day?" Xiao Ce's breathing was a little heavy.
Zhang Jixiang replied without hesitation: "Of course not. Miss Qin is sensible, and the Queen Mother also cares about the emperor, and they are not willing to embarrass the emperor."
Xiao Ce glanced at Zhang Jixiang: "I want to hear the truth."
If that day comes, he doesn't know how to face it. At that time, he will probably have to make a decision based on the development of the situation.
Qin Zhao suddenly asked such a question, so naturally he had such concerns.
Zhang Jixiang hesitated for a while, and then he said cautiously for a while: "Even if such a day comes, the emperor will certainly be able to report it to your father-in-law."
Xiao Ce couldn't fault his words.
He looked back at Jinyang Palace and said thoughtfully: "Zhaozhao looks too calm after being poisoned."
According to Qin Zhao's unwillingness to suffer losses, if she was wronged, she would definitely find a way to get it back from the other party. But after being poisoned this time, Qin Zhao's reaction was very dull, not at all like she had just been poisoned.
Could it be that Qin Zhao knew something?
Qin Zhao in Jinyang Palace heard the conversation between Xiao Ce and Zhang Jixiang and was secretly shocked.
Xiao Ce is a thoughtful person, and Xiao Ce will notice anything unusual, which she never expected.
She was a victim today, but she didn't look like a victim at all. This aroused Xiao Ce's suspicion. He was probably already suspecting that she had directed and acted in this poisoning drama.
"Girl, are you feeling unwell?" Bao Zhu asked hurriedly when he saw that Qin Zhao didn't look happy.
Qin Zhao came back to her senses and said lightly: "I'm a little tired. Let's sleep for a while. If Princess Yongning comes, just wake me up."
Baozhu was only afraid that Qin Zhao was feeling uncomfortable. Qin Zhao knew her worry and comforted her: "I'm fine. I'm fine. I just want to sleep for a while."
She just wanted to be alone to think about the problem quietly.
Baozhu felt relieved after seeing this.
After that, Qin Zhao stayed alone in the dormitory, with Baozhu guarding outside, feeling a little confused.
She always felt that the girl's reaction after being poisoned this time was a bit strange. Originally, if a girl's temper was harmed, she would find a way to take revenge, but this time it was just the opposite.
When the emperor left, the girl asked the emperor that strange question. Was it because the girl was worried that one day she would break up with the Queen Mother Guo, so she asked the emperor that question?
When Baozhu was most surprised, Princess Yongning actually came to Jinyang Palace, but Princess Yongchun was not among them.
"Your Highness, Princess Yongning, please wait a moment. I will go and ask the girl to get up." Baozhu was not too surprised when he saw Princess Yongning.
Princess Yongning noticed something strange, "Do you know I'm coming?"
"The girl gave her instructions before she went to bed." Baozhu answered truthfully and entered the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, Qin Zhao had already stood up. She hurriedly stepped forward to serve her: "Does the girl know that Princess Yongning is here?"
"Yeah." Qin Zhao quickly took care of himself.
She had been sleeping lightly before, and she knew it when Princess Yongning first walked into Jinyang Palace.
Princess Yongning did not expect Qin Zhao to come out so quickly. She looked at Baozhu and signaled Qin Zhao to retreat.
"There is nothing about me that Baozhu cannot know. Since the eldest princess has come to Jinyang Palace, she must have something to say to me. The eldest princess might as well say it directly." Qin Zhao looked at Baozhu and motioned to Baozhu to pour tea for the eldest princess Yongning.
Baozhu quickly made tea and stood beside Qin Zhao.
Although Princess Yongning hasn't spoken yet, she has already guessed that something is unusual.
When Princess Yongning saw Baozhu's unmoving expression, she knew that Qin Zhao trusted Baozhu for a reason. Everyone liked Baozhu, a stable attendant like Baozhu, even she liked Baozhu very much.
"Since the girl trusts Baozhu, I won't shy away from it. I intend to join forces with the girl. Except for Queen Mother Guo, the girl has cooperated very well with me today." Princess Yongning no longer hesitated and spoke frankly.
What she did today was to test Qin Zhao's reaction. Qin Zhao did not undermine her or add fuel to the flames, and she liked Qin Zhao's reaction.
With the help of people like Qin Zhao, it is easy to get rid of Empress Dowager Guo.
"Today's incident was planned by the eldest princess. I have never cooperated with the eldest princess." Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly.
Princess Yongning smiled calmly: "But the girl never exposed me, right? The girl just acquiesced in my approach. I thought that the girl was also eager to get rid of Empress Dowager Guo. With Empress Dowager Guo here, the girl's journey in the harem will not be too difficult.
It's easy to go. If this obstacle is removed, the girl will have no resistance in the harem. Doesn't the girl not want to become a being like Concubine Wu?"
When Qin Zhaozha heard Princess Yongning mention Concubine Wu, her expression did not change and she drank tea calmly.
Princess Yongning's heart sank slightly when she saw her reaction.
Before she came, she thought it would be easy to convince Qin Zhao, but now she wasn't sure what Qin Zhao was thinking.
"I know that the girl wants to use my hand to get rid of the Queen Mother Guo, but the girl has never thought that it will be difficult for me to get rid of the Queen Mother Guo alone. The girl is different. With the favor of the emperor, she can do everything with half the effort."
Princess Yongning continued to lobby.
Qin Zhao took another sip of tea before saying: "When I first learned about the eldest princess's life experience, I was curious about who in this palace was so powerful and who had such motives. I thought of some possibilities and gave the eldest princess some hints.
.But the eldest princess has to avenge her mother's murder, because it is not my revenge."
Princess Yongning frowned when she heard this: "Is the girl unwilling to cooperate with me? Or is she afraid of failure, so she is unwilling to take action easily?"
