Chapter 663 Martial Law
Qin Zhao was secretly speechless when he saw this scene.
Who said women in ancient times were reserved? This woman confessed her feelings to Xiao Ce for the first time when she met her. Isn’t it better to be more open-minded than a modern person like her?
Xiao Ce didn't express anything and only glanced at Zhang Jixiang.
Zhang Jixiang understood and found two palace attendants to take this exotic beauty away by force.
Qin Zhao saw this exotic beauty from afar looking back at Xiao Ce from time to time. Seeing this, she stood up and said, "I'm going to go for a walk."
When Baozhu saw this, he hurriedly accompanied him. Qiu Shui did not dare to neglect and followed Qin Zhao to the outside of Baohe Hall.
Qin Zhao was worried that the exotic beauty had a good origin, so she followed her out. She could hear the direction in which the exotic beauty was going, so she followed the exotic beauty from a distance.
Not long after, she heard the voice of an exotic beauty speaking.
It didn't matter, she heard another familiar voice, it was Seth?
"You have a crush on Xiao Ce?!" The person who spoke was none other than Seth.
"I didn't expect the new emperor of Daqi to be so handsome. I fell in love with him at first sight. Brother, I want to stay in the palace of Daqi and be the wife of the emperor of Daqi!" The person who replied was none other than the former beauty Sena.
.
"We didn't come to Daqi just for fun. Don't forget the real purpose of our coming." Seth didn't expect Sena to show up like this.
"It's the Emperor's business to avenge his lameness. It has no conflict with me staying in Daqi's harem. Maybe if I stay, I can help the Emperor find out the truth!" Sena thought of Xiao Ce's handsome face.
He felt itchy and couldn't help it: "I have never seen a man as handsome as Emperor Daqi in my whole life..."
Qin Zhao was speechless after hearing the conversation between Seth and Sena.
She guessed that Sena's identity was not simple. When she followed her, she found that Seth had also entered the palace.
Looking back on the plot development in the previous life, Seth also ran into the harem once and even came to tease her. Could it be that the plot in the previous life was advanced, right?
After all, she must stay away from Seth, the god of plague, and find a way to remind Xiao Ce.
Thinking of this, she planned to turn back the way she came.
Unexpectedly, before he got close to Baohe Hall, an acquaintance walked towards him. It was Prince An who he had not seen in some days.
King An knew how to eat, drink and have fun before, but he didn't make any achievements after Xiao Ce came to the throne. If today was not a day like the Mid-Autumn Festival, King An wouldn't show up, right?
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Yi, he stepped forward to say hello generously.
An Wang responded casually and passed her by.
Qin Zhao always felt that Xiao Yi's reaction was too cold, and he was completely different from when he was in Yongzhou.
She looked back at Xiao Yi's back, but without thinking much, she returned to Baohe Hall accompanied by Baozhu and Qiu Shui.
Thinking that Seth was in the palace and might appear at any time, Qin Zhao felt a little uneasy.
She wanted to take a chance to warn Xiao Ce, but how should she say it?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was over, Xiao Ce walked up to her, and she immediately said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, will you accompany me for a walk?"
Xiao Ce had no objection, and walked out of the Baohe Hall with Qin Zhao under the envious gazes of everyone.
Not only the concubines in the harem were looking at them, but also the Queen Mother Guo. Qin Zhao felt the look in these people's eyes, looked up at Xiao Ce and said, "Many sisters envy me for being so close to the emperor."
Speaking of which, Queen Mother Guo is also jealous of her, right? This may be the reason why Queen Mother Guo hates her.
Empress Dowager Guo loved the late emperor all her life, and even neglected her biological son because of the late emperor, causing Xiao Ce to not be close to her.
Because of love, Empress Dowager Guo turned into hatred and poisoned the late emperor. She thought her pain was over, but Xiao Ce got close to her, a flamboyant woman.
Her presence reminds Empress Dowager Guo of the twenty years of failure in the Queen's Palace all the time. Even her biological son is separated from her because of this woman Qin Zhao.
All the above are the reasons why Queen Mother Guo hates her.
"You are different from them." After a pause, Xiao Ce asked casually, "Where were you just now?"
"I was just wandering around outside. I was just thinking, I always felt that the exotic beauty I saw tonight looked a little familiar. How did I finally meet her just now?" Qin Zhao naturally led to another topic.
Xiao Ce looked sideways when he heard this: "Who are you talking about?"
Qin Zhao just wanted to roll his eyes, "May I ask Your Majesty, how many exotic beauties were there throughout the night?"
Only then did Xiao Ce react: "You are talking about the one who performs the dance. Is there something wrong with her?"
"Does the emperor think she is very kind?" Qin Zhao asked back.
Xiao Ce shook his head honestly: "No."
He didn't look closely and didn't know what the exotic beauty looked like.
Qin Zhao was not surprised by his answer. She reminded in a low voice: "I think she looks very much like Seth and dresses like a member of the Dayue Nation."
Xiao Ce slowed down and looked at Qin Zhao.
"I suspect that this beauty is related to the Dayue clan by blood." Qin Zhao clicked on the topic. She glanced around and whispered: "If that beauty is a member of the Dayue clan, then other members of the Dayue clan
You must be aware of it, right? Maybe he will also follow you to the Daqi Palace."
Xiao Ce's expression became serious: "What you said makes sense."
When Qin Zhao saw that Xiao Ce had listened, he immediately felt relieved: "I don't have any good impressions of the Da Yueshi royal family anyway. If the girl performing the dance tonight is really a member of the Da Yueshi royal family, then why can't she do it openly?
To be so sneaky, this kind of behavior makes people unhappy. What I'm most worried about is that they have some purpose, or they want to harm the emperor, so the emperor should be careful."
Xiao Ce touched her head, his eyebrows became gentle: "Don't worry, I will protect myself."
Qin Zhao believed in Xiao Ce's ability, "Anyway, the emperor must remember that nothing will happen to him at any time and anywhere. If I have to think more about it, I have to rely on the emperor. The emperor is my heaven and earth and cannot collapse."
Seeing Xiao Ce's raised lips, Qin Zhao knew that her words made him feel happy.
The two of them walked and talked until Xiao Ce sent her to Jinyang Palace.
Xiao Ce saw that the huge Jinyang Palace was unguarded, and remembered that Qin Zhao said that members of the Dayue clan might have sneaked into the palace, and Sais was among them...
He turned around and gave Zhang Jixiang a few instructions, and Zhang Jixiang took the order and left.
Not long after, some guards came to guard outside Jinyang Palace, and martial law began in the palace.
Seth, who had not yet had time to leave the palace, did not expect that the palace would strengthen its guards, and he was unable to leave the palace smoothly for a while.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival of Daqi. The guards are not tight and it is easy for him to enter the palace. But when he wanted to leave the palace, the guards suddenly tightened. Could it be that the news of his entering the palace reached Xiao Ce's ears?
Thinking of this possibility, his heart sank slightly.
He had full confidence before entering the palace, so the fewer people he brought into the palace, the better. It seemed that it would not be easy to force his way out of the palace, which made him have no idea for a while...
