Chapter 743: Thinking behind closed doors
Now Qin Zhao knew that Queen Mother Guo and Nian Su would just join forces, and the two women were actually a little afraid of her.
She never knew she had such ability.
Baozhu saw the smile on Qin Zhao's face and was a little curious about why Qin Zhao was happy: "Is the girl in a good mood?"
The girl said that Queen Mother Guo would come to trouble her and told her a plan to anger the emperor. She was worried that the girl was too nervous, but the girl suddenly started laughing to herself.
"The current predicament has been solved quickly. Of course I am happy. You will cooperate with me in the performance later. We will definitely make Empress Dowager Guo and the Emperor very angry." Qin Zhao calmly took a sip of hot water.
Bao Zhu was still hesitant at first, but now seeing Qin Zhao being so confident, her tight strings relaxed.
"My slave will definitely cooperate with you, girl." Baozhu agreed immediately.
Qin Zhao smiled and nodded, already knowing what to do later.
After Empress Dowager Guo entered Jinyang Palace, she was still a little hesitant. She felt that Qin Zhao had some conspiracy.
She didn't see anyone along the way. Although there were never many people in Jinyang Palace, she still felt that there was a strange silence in Jinyang Palace.
"I always feel that Miss Qin may have prepared a trap to deal with the Queen Mother." Nian Su's voice sounded.
Queen Mother Guo glanced at Nian Su and felt that Nian Su had the same thoughts as her, but she could not show her timidity in front of so many attendants.
"What kind of trouble can the Qin family cause?" Queen Mother Guo replied stiffly.
Seeing that Queen Mother Guo was so confident, Nian Su didn't know what to say.
Soon Queen Mother Guo and her party went to the main hall, and they found Qin Zhao in the study.
When she saw Qin Zhao lying comfortably on the imperial concubine's couch, Queen Mother Guo fixed her eyes.
Qin Zhao looks rosy, over-dressed, and has Baozhu and Baoyuan waiting on him. How can he look sick at all?
Queen Mother Guo got angry when she saw this scene, "Qin Zhao, didn't you say you were sick?!"
Qin Zhao was reading the script, but seemed not to have heard what Empress Dowager Guo said, nor did she get up to salute Empress Dowager Guo. Her arrogant look made Empress Dowager Guo furious.
Looking at the entire harem, only Concubine Wu once suffered a loss, but Qin Zhao was even worse than Concubine Wu.
"Qin Zhao, are you deaf?!" Queen Mother Guo said patiently.
Qin Zhao continued to read her script and regarded Queen Mother Guo's words as farts. Of course she was not deaf, but she still had to wait for Xiao Ce to come over.
She was only worried that if Baoyu couldn't invite Xiao Ce, her plan of killing two birds with one stone would be difficult to carry out.
I just hope that Baoyu will be able to invite Xiao Ce over.
Fortunately, after a while, she heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching, and she only waited for Xiao Ce to arrive before continuing her performance.
How did Queen Mother Guo know Qin Zhao's plan?
Seeing that Qin Zhao was treating her like nothing, Queen Mother Guo turned pale with anger. She shouted sternly: "Ms. Qin, you are so brave!!"
Qin Zhao was finally willing to look away from the script. She raised her head and looked at the Queen Mother Guo, "The Queen Mother is old, so you should be more careful and be careful of bursting blood vessels."
Queen Mother Guo did not expect that Qin Zhao would dare to say such disrespectful words, and her voice suddenly increased: "Qin Zhao, you, how dare you..."
Qin Zhao added lightly: "My boldness is the result of the Emperor's favor. The Queen Mother always thinks that since she is the Emperor's biological mother, she can suppress me and humiliate me, but the Emperor values me most, not you, an old woman!"
"
Xiao Ce, who had just reached the study room, slowed down when he heard Qin Zhao's voice. His brows grew colder and he stopped moving forward.
"I have tolerated the Queen Mother for a long time. If it wasn't for the sake of making fun in front of the Emperor, I would have fallen out with you long ago. Now that the Emperor is away, I can tell you clearly that the control of the harem will fall into my hands sooner or later. You have to endure it.
It took twenty years to become the Queen Mother, and I will become the Lord of the Middle Palace in a short time..."
"Qin Zhao, how dare you?!" Empress Dowager Guo was so angry that she roared uncontrollably.
Xiao Ce walked into the study with a sullen face. As soon as Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce coming, he immediately stood up from the imperial concubine's chair. She smiled and said, "How come the emperor has time to come to Jinyang Palace today?"
"Emperor, you have come at the right time. Qin Zhao is so rebellious that she dares to covet the position of queen..." Empress Dowager Guo couldn't wait to complain.
"What the Queen Mother said is ridiculous. I don't even have a position. How could I dare to think about the position of the Queen? Although I knew that the Queen Mother was prejudiced against me, I didn't expect that the Queen Mother would throw dirty water on me." Qin Zhao interrupted.
The words of Queen Mother Guo.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly. Under his glare, the smile on Qin Zhao's face gradually disappeared: "Does the Emperor believe in the Queen Mother, but not me?"
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, but looked at Qin Zhao coldly, as if he could see through her if he looked at her for a long time.
"You weren't like this before!" Xiao Ce said after a long time.
Qin Zhao frowned slightly: "The Emperor hasn't answered my question yet. Between the Empress Dowager and me, who does the Emperor trust?"
Xiao Ce also frowned. He wanted to believe Qin Zhao, but what Qin Zhao said just now made him believe her?
The Qin Zhao he knew would not be so rude, let alone speak so rudely.
Seeing Xiao Ce's silence, Qin Zhao naturally knew what he was thinking.
She lowered her eyebrows and said, "The Emperor knows how much the Queen Mother hates me, but the Queen Mother is still in his heart. The Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, but I have been in the palace for so long, but I am nothing. Since the Emperor does not believe me,
Why come to Jinyang Palace?!"
After a pause, she continued: "From today on, I will punish myself by shutting myself up and thinking about my mistakes, and never see guests again. Orb, see off guests!"
"Yes, girl."
Baozhu turned to Queen Mother Guo and Xiao Ce and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please move over!"
Qin Zhao achieved his goal, ignored everyone who was standing there, and went directly to the dormitory.
Nian Su was also a little confused.
Looking at Qin Zhao's back, she always felt that with how cunning Qin Zhao was, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
And it seems that Qin Zhao only has this little fighting power, so self-punishment would actually happen to Qin Zhao? Could it be that Qin Zhao intended to retreat in order to advance, deliberately?
Queen Mother Guo also thought this was a bit strange.
She was scolded by Qin Zhao, and then the emperor came. The emperor didn't say anything, but Qin Zhao felt that the emperor didn't trust her, so he punished himself in isolation and thought about his mistakes. This was not like Qin Zhao's temperament.
Qin Zhao has always been good at sophistry, but this time he was defeated without a fight. There seemed to be something wrong.
As one of the parties involved, Xiao Ce was also a bit unable to relax.
Qin Zhao has given orders to drive away the guests, can he still stay here and not leave?
It's not that he doesn't trust Qin Zhao, but what Qin Zhao said to the Queen Mother before was too outrageous. She had never said such disrespectful words before, so how could he call the Queen Mother an old woman?
Qin Zhao has changed too much recently. Every time he wants to get closer to her, she will push him away. Today is even more outrageous. She actually said that she would punish herself and think about her mistakes in isolation.
