Chapter 1135: Begin with responsibility, but not end with love
Bao Zhu was worried and insisted on going with Qin Zhao, so Xiao Atom was taken with him by Bao Ping and Bao Yuan.
When Qin Zhao went to Guangyulan, she remembered what happened in Guangyulan Garden. That time she insisted on changing Wu Xiyu's fate, but in the end she was trapped in the harem.
From that time on, Xiao Ce always felt responsible for ruining her innocence.
Later, she came in again, this time to avoid Xiao Ce.
When she stepped into the Magnolia Garden, the past came to mind, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't emotional.
Just when she was filled with emotion, she saw a figure standing under the Magnolia Garden. With just one glance, she could tell that it was Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty?!"
Xiao Ce was a little surprised when he heard Qin Zhao's voice: "My dear concubine, is there something wrong with me?"
Did Qin Zhao chase him after knowing he was here? This is in line with Qin Zhao's temperament in his dream.
As soon as Xiao Ce turned around, Qin Zhao discovered that there was another man in Guangyulan. The man was wearing black clothes, his clothes were flowing, and he had a good temperament. He was a peerless young man.
The man also saw her appearance clearly, his eyes froze, and there was a name rolling in his throat as he wanted to blurt it out...
Qin Zhao also saw the man's handsome facial features clearly at this time, and suddenly she recognized him. This was Wu Zhenyu, the newly promoted general of the auxiliary country, and Wu Xirou's brother.
Wu Zhenyu was only in his twenties, but he had already achieved numerous military exploits. Perhaps he had killed too many people on the battlefield, and he did not like to wear military uniforms off the battlefield.
If he hadn't known Wu Zhenyu's identity, Qin Zhao would have thought that he was a young master from an aristocratic family.
Xiao Ce on the side saw Qin Zhao's attention on Wu Zhenyu, and Wu Zhenyu's gaze was not shy. He was unhappy: "Wu Aiqing knows the imperial concubine?"
Only then did Wu Zhenyu realize his gaffe, "Weichen's hometown is in Yongzhou, and the imperial concubine's hometown is also in Yongzhou. Weichen had met the imperial concubine many years ago."
It took a while for Qin Zhao to realize that she was attracted here by the letter in her hand. Could it be that the person the other party led her here to see was Wu Zhenyu?
She had no memory of Qin Zhao from the past, so she naturally didn't know that Qin Zhao and Wu Zhenyu were old acquaintances.
If the person who sent the letter wanted to lure her into meeting Wu Zhenyu, what was his purpose?
The way Wu Zhenyu looked at her just now was too focused, as if he had just met her face to face.
"Perhaps it happened when I was a child. I was young at that time and don't remember meeting the general." Qin Zhao told the truth with a magnanimous expression.
Wu Zhenyu's eyes flashed slightly and he answered calmly: "Time has passed so long, it's only human nature for the imperial concubine not to remember."
Xiao Ce always felt that the aura between Wu Zhenyu and Qin Zhao was not quite right. As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell.
"I originally wanted to come to this garden for a walk, but I didn't want the emperor and the general to discuss matters here, so I won't bother you and leave." Qin Zhao didn't want to stay long, so he turned around and left Guangyu Orchid Garden.
Before she left, she felt two eyes glued to her. One of them was Xiao Ce, and the other was of course Wu Zhenyu.
Could it be that Wu Zhenyu was friends with the former Qin Zhao?
Thinking of this possibility, Qin Zhao felt dumbfounded.
In the past, she never felt that there was anything wrong with not having the memory of Qin Zhao in the past, but now it seems that there will be some troubles. For example, she doesn't know if Qin Zhao in the past also had a crush on someone. If that crush was...
No, no, Qin Zhao was infatuated with Zhao Yu in the past and fell in love with Zhao Yu at first sight. In this case, how could he still have an old sweetheart like Wu Zhenyu?
Furthermore, the former Qin Zhao was sealed, and she was thin, small, and dark, just like a child who had not grown up. Wu Zhenyu would not have any thoughts about her no matter how blind he was.
When she thought about it, she felt relieved.
Just when she was thinking wildly, Xiao Ce's cold voice suddenly came from the Guang Magnolia Garden: "Aiqing seems to be very interested in the imperial concubine?"
She slowed down and listened.
At this time, Wu Zhenyu's voice came: "Returning to the emperor, Wei Chen's impression of the imperial concubine was still more than ten years ago. Suddenly, when he saw the imperial concubine again, he felt that the imperial concubine was very different from before."
"Isn't your concubine like this before?" Xiao Ce was a little surprised.
This time it was Wu Zhenyu's turn to be surprised: "Does your Majesty not know what your concubine looked like before?"
Qin Zhao felt relieved when she heard this. Sure enough, she had thought too much. It turned out that Wu Zhenyu had seen her in her most normal appearance, and now he was surprised when he saw that she had regained her childhood beauty.
She stopped eavesdropping and returned to Jinyang Palace as quickly as possible.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Xiao Ce suddenly came to Jinyang Palace and asked her personally what she looked like before.
It seems that Xiao Ce doubted the authenticity of Wu Zhenyu's words, so he came to ask her specifically for details.
"The emperor can ask Zhang Jixiang what I was like before." Qin Zhao looked at Zhang Jixiang.
Zhang Jixiang said hurriedly: "Before the imperial concubine entered the palace, she was indeed different from what she is now. In the past, the imperial concubine was in poor health. It was under the emperor's care that the imperial concubine's health gradually improved. The imperial concubine used to..."
He looked at Qin Zhao, not knowing how to describe the former Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao took advantage of the situation and said: "I was drugged before, and my body was damaged. I am darker, thinner and smaller than now, just like a child who has not grown up. Thanks to the emperor who is not tired of abandoning my concubine, he found Luo Qing
Girl, I’ve been completely cured of my illness, and I’ve been completely reborn.”
Xiao Ce originally didn't quite believe Wu Zhenyu's words, but now that he heard Qin Zhao's words and Zhang Jixiang also echoed them, he was willing to believe that there was such a strange thing in the world.
"The most fortunate thing in my life is that I met the emperor. It was the emperor who took pity on me and took me to the East Palace to recuperate. The relationship between me and the emperor did not begin with romance, but with responsibilities and obligations. It was in the Guang Magnolia Garden.
, I have walked a long way and my feet are cramping. When the emperor was giving me a massage, someone happened to break in, making people think that the emperor and my concubine were having an affair. In order to be responsible for my concubine, the emperor kept my concubine here.
The palace becomes a good concubine." It was rare for Qin Zhao to tell the truth.
She and Xiao Ce may have started out with responsibility in their previous lives, but did not end up with love. The result in this life is probably the same.
After Xiao Ce heard what Qin Zhao said, he breathed a sigh of relief. He always thought that he was the woman who had robbed his minister, but it turned out that he was not.
But seeing Qin Zhao's calm narration at this moment, his heart felt inexplicably.
"What the imperial concubine said is true. There were many witnesses at the time." Zhang Jixiang saw that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy and he hurriedly agreed.
Xiao Ce didn't know what to say, so he just nodded slightly and turned to leave.
After walking a few steps away, he turned back: "Since I was responsible for my beloved concubine at the beginning, I will also be responsible to the end in the future."
