"Go back. Yangxin Palace is the residence of the emperor. Living here for a long time will only make people uncomfortable." Qin Zhao said, packing up the children's clothes and preparing to go home.
Although Bao Zhu was confused, she also knew that her master's decision would not change. Since the empress said she wanted to return to Jinyang Palace, it meant that the empress had already made her decision.
She silently stepped forward to help pack the clothes, while Xiao Linzi ordered someone to prepare the chariot.
When Qiu Shui received the news and rushed over, Qin Zhao sat on the chariot. Seeing this, Qiu Shui hurriedly asked: "Is the empress going back to Jinyang Palace now?"
Qin Zhao laughed dumbly: "I came here to stay for a few days, how can I stay here forever? It's time to go back to Jinyang Palace, you just go back to the emperor and wait."
Qiu Shui hesitated to speak: "But..."
"It's nothing. After all, Yangxin Hall is the residence of the emperor. It is not suitable for me to live here for a long time. The emperor is busy recently, and you servants must take good care of the emperor."
While Qin Zhao was speaking, she felt someone looking at her. She looked up and saw Zhichun standing not far away.
She looked at Zhichun condescendingly, and it wasn't until Zhichun lowered his head that she raised her voice and said, "Zhichun, do you have something to say to me?!"
Zhichun did have something to say, but she also knew how powerful Qin Zhao was. Because of this, she was afraid.
In the past, she always felt that she was not afraid of Qin Zhao, a noble concubine, but this time she learned that Wu Taifei had also become Qin Zhao's loser, and it was impossible not to be shocked in her heart.
When she hesitated and came to Qin Zhao, she heard Qin Zhao say: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhichun mustered up his courage and said, "My dear concubine, can Zhixia survive?"
"She is a member of Concubine Wu's party and is suspected of murdering the emperor's heir. Do you think Zhixia can survive?" Qin Zhao asked back.
Zhichun lowered his head, feeling that Qin Zhao had hit on the point.
Yes, Zhixia was a party member of Concubine Wu, and Concubine Wu plotted to kill the emperor's heir. People like Concubine Wu are already dead, so how could Zhixia have a chance to live?
"Although you are short-sighted and stupid, you still value sisterhood, which is one of your few advantages." Qin Zhao finished speaking quietly and asked someone to get up the sedan.
Zhi Xia Chu stayed where he was, watching Qin Zhao's chariot go away with a dull look on his face.
So, Zhixia still can't escape this disaster, right?
Even Concubine Wu died in the harem, and her body was nowhere to be found. Zhixia was just a little palace maid, so how could she end up well?
She usually gets close to Zhixia, but this time the imperial concubine did not take the opportunity to deal with her, which was a blessing among misfortunes.
"Don't think too much, and be on duty from now on. The imperial concubine is a very good person, and there are very few masters in the harem who are as clear-cut as the imperial concubine." Qiu Shui patted Zhichun on the shoulder, and then returned to serve in front of the emperor.
She did not tell the emperor that the imperial concubine had returned to Jinyang Palace. It was up to the emperor to figure out the situation now.
A person as transparent as the imperial concubine must have known that the emperor was venting his anger, but the empress did not say or do anything and chose to go back to Jinyang Palace. Was this to allow the emperor to calm down?
After Qin Zhao returned to Jinyang Palace, all the servants in Jinyang Palace came to pay her respects.
"Is there anything going on in Jinyang Palace these days while I'm staying in Yangxin Palace?" Qin Zhao asked casually.
"There is nothing else. It's just that Baoyu suddenly lost the focus of his life and spent the whole day clamoring about when the empress would come back. Now that the empress is back, Baoyu will no longer be lonely in the future." Baoyu joked.
Baoyu's expression was slightly sarcastic. She stood up and said slightly angrily: "Are you still talking about me? Aren't you the same yourself?"
It's not like she was the only one who found it boring, everyone said so.
Qin Zhao stepped forward and took Baoyu's hand, "When I was in the Yangxin Hall, what I missed most was the delicious food you cooked."
Baoyu grinned when he heard this: "I made a new dessert yesterday. I'm going to bring it over for you to try."
After she said that, she ran away.
Soon Baoyu came back and brought a dessert as expected.
Qin Zhao couldn't wait to eat it. After eating it, she was full of praise: "It's sweet and soft, it melts in your mouth, it's so delicious."
No one has better craftsmanship than Baoyu, and no one is more appetizing to her.
When Baoyu saw that Qin Zhao liked him, she was filled with joy: "As long as the empress likes her."
Qin Zhao took a few people and chatted for a while, then everyone went to do their own business.
In the end, Qin Zhao only left the treasure vase and asked others about the situation in Jinyang Palace. Of course, he also asked about Baolan.
Aquarius only said that everything was calm, and there was nothing special about Sapphire.
Qin Zhao asked a few questions casually and then stopped the topic: "You should go and do your own business. It is enough that I have Baozhu by my side."
However, Baoping was curious about what happened in the palace recently and asked boldly: "Does Concubine Wu really want to harm your Highness?"
The rumors outside were very ugly, and it was said that the imperial concubine had framed the empress Wu Taifei, and that Wu Taifei's death was all planned by the empress.
"As early as the day of the Lantern Festival, Concubine Wu took action outside the palace. The children's toys that I brought back were filled with poison. The person who did this was Concubine Wu..." Qin Zhao kept the story short and roughly told what happened.
.
After Baoping finished, she was filled with emotion: "Obviously it was Empress Dowager Wu who deserved her crime, but there are rumors in the harem that it was Empress Wu who killed Empress Dowager Wu. Is there any justice?"
Qin Zhao smiled faintly and raised his lips: "Wu Taifei's death was her own fault. Just listen to the rumors outside and don't take them seriously."
Furthermore, the person who could make Mrs. Wu willing to sacrifice her life was not her, but Wu Xirou.
No matter how peaceful and harmless Wu Xirou seemed, when someone threatened her, Wu Xirou would push Mrs. Wu out without hesitation.
Therefore, Wu Xirou, a woman, should not be underestimated at all. This time she not only eliminated Mrs. Wu, but also found out Wu Xirou's true identity.
Even if Wu Xirou is currently in the stage of self-cultivation, it is only a superficial phenomenon. Wu Xirou will make a comeback one day in the future.
This day should not be far away, right?
She would rather have a showdown with Wu Xirou and stop playing the so-called sister and friend.
After returning to Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao's life became leisurely and comfortable.
After two leisurely days, a guest came to the door, it was Zuo Zhaorong.
"Is sister okay?" Zuo Zhaorong asked after taking a seat.
Her words made Qin Zhao look askance: "Why is this palace so bad?"
"My sister is worried that the rumors in the palace will affect her mood." Zuo Zhaorong said and smiled: "But my sister is short-sighted. With such a temperament, how can I care about rumors?"
Qin Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows: "I am a person who has come out of rumors. If I care about rumors, then I will be sad every day. This is not like my temperament."
