Chapter 834 Childbirth is imminent
"Since Mr. Wang is close to the retainers of Mr. An's residence, could it be that Empress Chongyuan and the An family are behind this to harm the girl and the young highness?" Xiao Linzi expressed his opinion.
In the past two days, we finally found some clues, and the end of the clue points to the An family. It is logical to suspect that the An family is behind the murder.
Qin Zhao pondered for a moment and then said: "It's too early to draw a conclusion now. At present, we don't know the content of the conversation between this retainer and Mr. Wang while drinking tea."
Everything must be based on evidence. It would be too hasty to convict Anya without any evidence.
"Should we arrest that person for interrogation first?!" Xiao Linzi asked again.
Qin Zhao nodded slightly: "Okay, it's best to do it secretly."
Although she suspected that the activities in Jinyang Palace had fallen into the eyes of someone who was interested, interrogating that person at this moment was the best way, rather than making random guesses here.
After receiving Qin Zhao's order, Xiao Linzi had no time to rest, so he set out to handle the matter.
Qin Zhao watched Xiao Linzi go away, always feeling that this matter was not easy to accomplish. If he could find the man in time and ask about the situation, there might be hope.
If not...
In the evening of that day, Xiao Linzi hurried back to Jinyang Palace and reported bad news to Qin Zhao. The Anfu retainer who had tea with Wang Wei only found the body. The autopsy results have not yet come out, so
The man died in the woods on the outskirts of the country, and it was initially determined that the time of death was yesterday.
In other words, someone had already taken a step ahead of them and silenced this person.
"My slave was too slow. If I could have caught him earlier, I might have been able to catch him and interrogate him carefully." Xiao Linzi was very upset.
Qin Zhao was not surprised: "You don't need to blame yourself for this matter. I didn't have high expectations. Now that this person has been silenced, I can only say that it is expected. I suspect that someone is watching the movements of Jinyang Palace, so you are
After leaving the palace, that person will take the first step to remove possible hidden dangers."
Xiao Linzi felt that Qin Zhao's words were reasonable, otherwise it was such a coincidence that he was silenced just after he found out about this person.
"Then shall we arrest Mr. An for interrogation?!" Xiao Linzi asked.
Qin Zhao laughed and shook his head: "Mr. An is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his daughter is Chongyuan, one of the nine concubines. Now a retainer of the An family has died, but we want to arrest Mr. An for interrogation. Do you think this matter can convince the public?
?!"
Even if she could risk everything, she still had to act according to the laws of Daqi. Even if Xiao Ce was the emperor, she couldn't arrest An Shangshu for interrogation without any evidence. This would mess up the rules.
Xiao Linzi was speechless for a moment: "This slave is short-sighted."
"This matter has probably reached a dead end here." After a pause, Qin Zhao added: "Xiao Linzi, you have tried your best on this matter, and you have done well. You will be rewarded."
Xiao Linzi never thought that there would be a reward, and he felt ashamed: "I don't deserve it, my slave."
"I think you did a good job, then you did a good job, there is no need to take advantage of yourself." Qin Zhao then asked Baozhu to reward him.
Xiao Linzi couldn't refuse, so he stepped forward to receive the reward and express his gratitude.
"Don't be discouraged. Although the clues have been lost after finding An's house, Anya is still in the palace. She and I will meet each other without looking up. There will be many opportunities to interact with each other in the future." Qin Zhao saw that Xiao Linzi was not in a high mood and comforted him.
.
Xiao Linzi responded in a low voice, then found an excuse to wait outside.
Baozhu smiled when he saw this: "Girl is not discouraged, why should Xiao Linzi be discouraged? There is nothing in this world that a girl cannot do, and there is no murderer that a girl cannot find. I believe that with a little more time, the real murderer can be found.
."
Qin Zhao and Baozhu had the same idea.
And she felt that it was not completely without gain. At least she knew that Anfu was related to such a case, and she might gain something from keeping an eye on Anya in the future.
Because major events happened one after another in Jinyang Palace, Xiao Ce then issued an order that Qin Zhao would have a good pregnancy in Jinyang Palace until Qin Zhao's child was born.
This news spread in the harem, and everyone felt that Xiao Ce was protecting Qin Zhao from outside interference.
As Qin Zhao herself, as the day of giving birth got closer and closer, she also felt that the later period was a bit difficult.
By mid-June, Qin Zhao was nine months pregnant and her belly was getting bigger and bigger.
Every time Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao's big belly, he would frown and feel incredible.
For a woman as young as Qin Zhao to have such a big belly, he was only worried that it would be too hard for her during childbirth.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have controlled my diet recently and the child's weight will not be too big." Qin Zhao knew Xiao Ce's worries and took the initiative to relieve his anxiety.
Xiao Ce was still uneasy: "Are you sure?"
"I am the child's mother, why am I not sure?" Qin Zhao disagreed.
What she didn't say was that she had the experience of giving birth to a child in her previous life. In her previous life, she was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that her child would not have enough nutrition, so she had no control over her diet.
Later, the imperial doctor reminded her that she only started to control her pregnancy when she was nearly seven months old. At that time, the baby was already full term, and her belly was larger than the average person, so it was very difficult to give birth to the baby.
But this life is different. She has had these concerns early on, so everything is under her control.
Xiao Ce still didn't believe Qin Zhao's story and insisted on asking Dr. Wu to take a look at Qin Zhao. Dr. Wu said that Qin Zhao's body was not that big, which calmed Xiao Ce's anxiety.
Later, he made another decision to let Luo Qing enter the palace and live in Jinyang Palace one month before Qin Zhao gave birth, in case Qin Zhao had a sudden attack and could not find anyone.
Not only was Luo Qing summoned to the palace, but Xiao Ce also found many wet nurses. After Qin Zhao heard this, he rejected the proposal: "I want to raise the child myself, and I don't want to rely on others. I know there are many rules in the royal family, but
I just want to raise my children by myself."
In his previous life, Xiao Ce had many wet nurses. At that time, she listened to everything he said, so that the child was unwilling to get close to her for a period of time, and was even instigated by outsiders to quarrel with her as a mother.
In this life, she will not allow the same thing to happen again, and let her children get close to other outsiders. Her children must be raised by herself, and this kind of thing cannot be done by others.
"Are you sure?!" Xiao Ce frowned.
He was born into the royal family and was not raised by Queen Mother Guo when he was a child. To be precise, no matter the prince or princess, he would have a lot of breast milk.
"Yes!" Qin Zhao replied firmly: "If the emperor does not agree to my request, I will be in trouble with the emperor!"
Xiao Ce remembered that it was not easy for him to meet the Queen Mother Guo when he was a child, and his emotions would be affected to some extent at that time.
Now their child has a mother like Qin Zhao, which is the child's luck.
"Okay, I listen to you." Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head: "I'm just afraid of your hard work."
