Chapter 676 Not with him
"Miss Luo knows Qin Zhao's physical condition best, so it's best to ask Miss Luo." Xiao Ce responded quietly.
Empress Dowager Guo could not see what was wrong with Qin Zhao and could not stay any longer. She said seriously: "The emperor should not spend too much time on a woman and neglect government affairs."
"That's what the Queen Mother said." Xiao Ce responded respectfully.
He escorted Queen Mother Guo out of Jinyang Palace. Along the way, Queen Mother Guo was preaching, and he agreed one by one.
After seeing off Queen Mother Guo, Xiao Ce breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know how long it will take for Zhang Jixiang to find someone. This is the third day that Qin Zhao has been sleeping. If he remains asleep, Qin Zhao’s body will become weaker and weaker.
He didn't even know why Qin Zhao fell into a drowsy state. During his drowsy state, could Qin Zhao's thoughts be clear?
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou was waiting for news that Queen Mother Guo was going to Jinyang Palace.
Later, she learned that Xiao Ce escorted the Queen Mother Guo out of Jinyang Palace, and that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the mother and son, so she knew that there was nothing special about Jinyang Palace.
Otherwise, given Queen Mother Guo's temper, she would not be so calm.
"Empress Xiurong, why don't you go to Jinyang Palace to see what's going on?!" Liuli suggested when she saw that Wu Xirou was thinking about Qin Zhao.
Wu Xirou has this plan.
She still felt that she had to take a look at Qin Zhao in person to feel at ease, or maybe Queen Mother Guo didn't see anything wrong, but she could tell that something was wrong.
With the decision made, she went to Jinyang Palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the entrance of Jinyang Palace, she was blocked by Bao Yuan: "Our girl has contracted the cold and needs to take good care of herself. No one is allowed to enter Jinyang Palace to disturb her recuperation."
"I'm just worried about my sister. If I come here to visit her, she will leave soon." Wu Xirou said patiently.
Bao Yuan didn't squint his eyes and said solemnly: "This is the emperor's oral order. Is the Empress Xiu Rong going to disobey the order?!"
Wu Xiurong said that he cared about their girl, but as the girl's close attendants, they all knew that the relationship between Wu Xiurong and the girl was not as good as it seemed on the surface. It was just a false love, and whoever believed it would be stupid.
Wu Xirou was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face: "Then can you send a message to the emperor, saying that I miss my sister and want to come to visit her..."
"A little person like this slave cannot speak in front of the emperor. Please don't embarrass me, Xiu Rong." Bao Yuan interrupted Wu Xirou impatiently.
Wu Xirou didn't expect that a maidservant would speak so rudely to her.
Her eyes grew colder, while Bao Yuan looked back calmly, not afraid of Wu Xirou at all.
After a while, Wu Xirou said: "Baoyuan, you are so angry!"
Maybe Bao Yuan has forgotten that he is a slave. No matter how favored Qin Zhao is, Bao Yuan is just a little slave next to Qin Zhao. How dare he talk to her master like this?!
"What the Empress Xiu Rong said is wrong. Everything the slave said is true. If the Empress Xiu Rong insists on doing something beyond the scope of her ability, I forgive you for not being able to do it." Bao Yuan replied neither humble nor arrogant.
"How did you talk to Empress Xiu Rong?!" Seeing Bao Yuan's bad attitude, Liu Li became furious for a moment and shouted at Bao Yuan.
"I also talk like this in front of our girl. My girl never said anything bad about me." Bao Yuan gave Liu Li a cold look.
"You?!" Liuli was speechless for a moment.
When Wu Xirou saw this, she said to Liuli: "Don't make noise in front of Jinyang Palace. Let's go back."
After she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.
Bao Yuan looked at Wu Xirou's back and shook his head secretly. The emperor was not here, so who could Wu Xiurong pretend to be?
Even the emperor has said that no one is allowed to enter Jinyang Palace easily, and that the girl's sleep is not allowed to be known to outsiders. She can't stop Mrs. Guo from coming to Jinyang Palace, but can't she stop Wu Xiurong?
She was sure that Wu Xiurong's visit to Jinyang Palace was not to visit the girl, but to harbor evil intentions.
After Wu Xirou returned to Zhongcui Palace, Liuli was still complaining about Baoyuan.
"I think it seems to me that Baoyuan is blocking Empress Xiu Rong from entering Jinyang Palace. It's because there is something shady going on in Jinyang Palace. I've never seen anyone blocking the way before!" Liuli expressed her suspicion.
Wu Xirou had the same idea as Liuli, and it was Xiao Ce who gave the order. Even if Qin Zhao wanted to recuperate, he would not keep everyone out of Jinyang Palace.
So her guess was right, there was something fishy about Qin Zhao's illness.
It was a pity that she could not enter Jinyang Palace to see what was going on. She could not go to Queen Mother Guo again and ask Queen Mother Guo what kind of illness Qin Zhao had.
At this moment, Wu Xirou only regretted that she had no one to use and could not get things done at the critical moment.
In the afternoon, Liuli finally received the news that Zhang Jixiang had returned to the palace.
"I heard that Zhang Jixiang invited Miss Luo into the palace." Liuli told Wu Xirou the news she had received.
Wu Xirou slightly raised her eyebrows: "Have you found out what Zhang Jixiang did outside the palace?"
"This servant is incompetent and couldn't find anything. Since we invited Miss Luo into Jinyang Palace, could it be that we are overthinking it and Miss Qin's illness is very common?" Liuli ran out of ideas for a moment.
"Not necessarily!" Wu Xirou sighed softly: "That's all, just wait and see what happens."
After Luo Qing entered Jinyang Palace, he stepped forward to salute Xiao Ce.
An inconspicuous man next to her also stepped forward to salute. Zhang Jixiang said to Xiao Ce: "In accordance with the emperor's instructions, I invited Miss Luo into the palace, and this... master's apprentice."
He was unsure when he said this, but time was tight, so he could only find someone near Kyoto. It was said that this man was the disciple of an eminent monk, and his surname was Ding Minglian.
After Ding Lian saluted Xiao Ce, his eyes were fixed on Qin Zhao's face.
Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, Baoyu shouted: "Master Ding, please don't be rude to the girl!"
Ding Lian looked at Baoyu and asked, "How can I find out the problem if I don't look at this girl?"
Baoyu was speechless for a moment, and it took her a while before she answered: "Aren't you a master's apprentice? You should be able to tell at a glance what's wrong with the girl."
Ding Lian ignored Baoyu and turned to Xiao Ce: "If the common people are right, the reason why Miss Qin is so sleepy is because her soul is not in her body."
As soon as he said this, everyone present changed their expressions, Xiao Ce was no exception.
When Ding Lian saw that no one said anything, he was not in a hurry, so he stood respectfully without moving.
Luo Qing was the first to return to normal: "What Mr. Ding said is true?!"
"This is what I saw." What Ding Lian didn't say was that as soon as he came in, he found that Qin Zhao was lifeless and lifeless. This should be because Miss Qin's soul was no longer in her body.
Luo Qing quickly glanced at Xiao Ce and asked Ding Lian: "What can Mr. Ding do to solve it?"
"This... I can only give it a try. As for whether it's feasible, I'm not sure." Ding Lian didn't dare to speak too fully.
By this time, Xiao Ce had returned to normal, and he asked: "If Zhao Zhao's soul is not here, where would it be?"
