Zhang Jixiang also saw it clearly. He subconsciously asked: "Why is there no imperial concubine in the list?"
Qin Zhao was self-aware: "My qualifications are not among the candidates. I am not only the daughter of a merchant, but I have also been married..."
"What?!" Xiao Ce stood up suddenly, thinking for a moment that he had misheard.
Qin Zhaozheng met Xiao Ce's shocked eyes, with a beautiful smile on his lips: "Didn't the Emperor know early on that I was once the first wife of Master Zhao Yuzhao?!"
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao in disbelief. Nothing shocked him more than this incident.
He has followed the rules all his life and has never done anything out of the ordinary. In this case, how could he put his courtier's first wife into the palace and make her a noble concubine?
There must be something wrong somewhere, it must be!
Zhang Jixiang saw Xiao Ce's shocked look and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Yes, it was the emperor who saved the imperial concubine in the first place..."
Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment, then sat back down. When his emotions calmed down a bit, he pretended to be calm and said: "Except for Ji Xiang and the noble concubine, everyone else will step aside."
He wanted to ask carefully what happened during this period and why a married woman from Qin Zhao entered his harem.
Why is everything different from what he dreamed about?
After everyone left and there were only three people left in the study, Xiao Ce said to Zhang Jixiang: "Tell me everything you know, including how I met the noble concubine."
"Zhang Jixiang, please step aside. It is more appropriate for me to say some things to the emperor. Because when I first met the emperor, Zhang Jixiang was not there." Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly.
Zhang Jixiang looked at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce waved his hand to signal him to step back.
Soon, only Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce were left in the study. Qin Zhao found a comfortable chair to sit down, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "The first encounter between my concubine and the emperor is quite dramatic..."
Xiao Ce was listening attentively and found that Qin Zhao had stopped talking. He glanced over coldly: "What's the point?!"
"It's not that I'm trying to hide my feelings. I'm afraid that the emperor won't be able to accept some facts and hesitates to tell the truth." Qin Zhao said in a difficult position.
Just kidding, this Xiao Ce is moody, she has to inoculate Xiao Ce, right?
"Say, I forgive you for not being guilty!" Xiao Ce said seriously.
Qin Zhao received Xiao Ce's oral instructions and immediately said vividly: "It was a dark and windy night. The emperor was still the prince. That night, the Zhao family drugged him and he was unconscious. However, I didn't know who knocked me unconscious."
, was sent to His Royal Highness the Prince's couch..."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Ce shouted.
It was clearly Wu Xiyu who was sent to his bed. He could more or less guess what the Zhao family was thinking. In that case, how could the Zhao family send Qin Zhao, a married woman, to his bed?
In this way, the Zhao family cannot get any benefits. This is not the way of the Zhao family.
"This is what I can't understand. I was sleeping well in my own garden, so how could I be sent to the prince's bed? This is unreasonable. But the fact is that early the next morning, the Zhao family
Then he came to catch the rapist. Later, the Zhao family felt that the concubine had disgraced the Zhao family and wanted to kill the concubine. At this time, the emperor stepped forward and saved the concubine. The queen saw that the concubine was weak and took the concubine with her.
I went to the East Palace to recuperate. After I got better, I left the palace. I didn’t expect the emperor to catch up with me again, saying that I wanted to be the emperor’s good wife. This is what happened. If the emperor doesn’t believe it, you can ask Zhang
Ji Xiang asked clearly." Qin Zhao said and clapped his hands, "I have already listed the list of concubines that the emperor wants. If there are no other orders, I will retire."
Xiao Ce didn't expect Qin Zhao's mind to jump so fast. One moment he was remembering how they met, and the next moment he jumped to the list of concubines.
This is really an anomaly. How could he bring a woman he had divorced into the palace to recuperate?
Simply ridiculous.
Qin Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Ce, who was pressing his lips tightly. She turned around to leave the study, but Xiao Ce's gloomy voice came from behind her: "Are you allowed to leave?!"
Qin Zhao felt a chill running down his spine and felt a murderous intent coming over him.
No way, just because he knew the truth, Xiao Ce had murderous intentions towards her?
Her face turned pale and she didn't dare to move. After calming down the panic in her heart, she looked back at Xiao Ce calmly: "May I ask if the emperor has any other instructions?"
When she turned around, she found that Xiao Ce was close at hand, and his warm breath seemed to be filled with murderous intent.
She unconsciously took a step back, only to find that her back was against the study door and there was no way out.
"You, what do you want to do? Xiao Ce, what you just said, no matter what I say, you will forgive me. Besides, what I stated is just the truth."
At this moment, Qin Zhao suddenly understood why Xiao Ce had murderous intentions towards her.
The most important thing Xiao Ce abides by in his life is rules. How could he touch other men's women?
And not only did he touch her, but he also made this woman his concubine. For him, it was undoubtedly a stain in his life.
After thinking about this, Qin Zhao felt like crying but never thought that she would make such a low-level mistake. She shouldn't have deliberately treated Xiao Ce just for the sake of quick pleasure.
"Why are you panicking?!" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly, his eyes fixed on Qin Zhao's neck.
It's ridiculous that Zhao Yu's woman is in his harem, and this woman even gave birth to a child for him?
There must be a conspiracy in this, and this woman cannot stay.
"I, I didn't panic..." Qin Zhao's neck felt cold, and he felt as if he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Xiao Ce stretched out his hand to her. She gritted her teeth and rushed towards him, aiming for his lips and kissed him.
Xiao Ce didn't expect Qin Zhao to do this, and he didn't know why. The moment her lips touched his, his lips and tongue automatically entwined with hers.
Qin Zhao only wanted to save her life and kissed Xiao Ce randomly on the lips. Xiao Ce's enthusiasm was beyond her expectation, and she did not expect that the situation would suddenly get out of control.
When she found out that she and Xiao Ce were making out at the door of the study, she was startled and gave Xiao Ce a gentle push.
Xiao Ce also woke up in an instant. He suddenly opened his eyes and was dumbfounded when he saw the disheveled Qin Zhao in front of him.
The two stared at each other, Xiao Ce's eyes fixed on Qin Zhao's red lips, which were the places he kissed just now, soft and sweet...
In the end, it was Qin Zhao who reacted first. She pulled up her clothes as if nothing had happened and quickly fixed her messy hair. Her heart was pounding. She was shocked and frightened.
"If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will leave." Before Xiao Ce could react, she turned around and walked out of the study.
