"Your Majesty, please follow me to the study!" Xiao Ce found it difficult to say, as there were some things that should not be known to outsiders.
Qin Zhao nodded silently. It seemed that what Xiao Ce wanted to say could not be known to others.
When they got to the study room, Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly.
Qin Zhao was fed up with the way he looked at her and calmly opened his lips: "Excuse me, what is the reason why the emperor asked me to come here?"
"Do you have deep feelings for Zhao Yu?!" Xiao Ce asked in a deep voice.
Qin Zhao didn't expect Xiao Ce to ask such a question.
She thought about it carefully and then said: "When I married into the Zhao family, it was not only the elders of the Zhao family who looked down on me, but Master Zhao as well. Even the servants of the Zhao family looked down on me. After many years, I saw that I
I no longer remember why I was obsessed with getting the approval of the Zhao family. Just as everyone said that I admired Mr. Zhao, I also no longer remember the feeling of being despised by everyone in the Zhao family. When I was at my natal family, I
Although I am not valued by my father, I am the eldest daughter of the Qin family and has my own yard. However, in the Zhao family, I am dependent on others. I thought about making everyone who despised me regret it, so I tried hard to find a presence in the Zhao family.
I want everyone to admit that I am the original wife of Mr. Zhao. Furthermore, from the first day when I entered the Zhao Mansion, Mr. Zhao has never set foot in my yard. This makes me unbearable in the Zhao family.
When I first started to be a human being, I did want to make a living, but I didn’t want to debase myself and become obsessed with an unworthy scumbag.”
She didn't know whether Qin Zhao had feelings for Zhao Yu in the past. Anyway, she never had any strong feelings for Zhao Yu. This was a fact.
Xiao Ce finally heard the important point this time: "Zhao Yu has never set foot in your yard?"
"Master Zhao looked down upon me as the daughter of a merchant. In the past, my appearance was ordinary. Master Zhao had a special liking for his current wife. He was not willing to even look at me. He would avoid me if he could. Later, I
I want to understand one thing. I don’t need to be recognized by the Zhao family. I just need to leave that ghost place of the Zhao family. At that time, the emperor appeared and helped me escape from the sea of misery. If the emperor hadn’t helped me, I would have lost my life.
He should have died in the Zhao family a few years ago."
Qin Zhao's beautiful eyes were clear and dazzling, and she looked directly at Xiao Ce, and her words were sonorous and powerful: "The emperor is my savior. If the emperor had never appeared in my life, I would be gone. Your Majesty, you can rest assured, I am concubine."
There has never been any love between a man and a woman with Mr. Zhao. Now that I have entered the palace and become a noble concubine, I will never do anything to disgrace the emperor."
She said that if Xiao Ce was still worried that she would cuckold him, then there was nothing she could do.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao for a long time, as if he wanted to see if she was lying, but Qin Zhao's firm look made him calm down a little.
In the dream, after Wu Xiyu became the princess, she still couldn't let go of Zhao Yu. Later, he simply helped Wu Xiyu and let her follow Zhao Yu.
A woman who has another man in her heart should not become a princess, lest she confuse the royal bloodline one day in the future.
What's the use of keeping such a woman by his side? It will only make the royal family a laughing stock.
Therefore, he fulfilled Zhao Yu and Wu Xiyu's marriage without hesitation.
If Qin Zhao were the second Wu Xiyu, such a woman would not be suitable to stay in the harem, and he would abandon her without hesitation.
"If I know that my beloved concubine dares to deceive me, I will send you to become a monk with my own hands!" Xiao Ce said with a condensed look on his face.
Qin Zhao felt that this was what Xiao Ce would do, so she curled her lips and said, "I wonder who could talk nonsense in front of the emperor and call me a concubine who has the deepest affection for Mr. Zhao?!"
"Ji Xiang said it accidentally."
It was precisely because he said it unintentionally that he was even more convinced.
Qin Zhao felt that Zhang Jixiang was indeed a garrulous person, and such words could kill someone in a minute.
"This may be just what everyone else says. Ji Xiang has not even been to the Zhao family a few times, so how can he know what kind of life I lived in the Zhao family in those years? Does it mean that Master Zhao is better, so I must admire him?
I really don’t know what kind of strange logic this is.” Qin Zhao lightly curled his lips and said noncommittally: “I originally wanted to marry and follow the hen and live a makeshift life. If I couldn’t live any longer, I wouldn’t be iron-clad.
To be honest, when I was still in the Zhao family, Mr. Zhao teamed up with Wu Xiyu more than once to show affection in front of me to humiliate me. A man like Mr. Zhao was given to me as a gift.
It’s all disgusting.”
I don't know if saying this can dispel Xiao Ce's last doubt.
She doesn't want to become a monk. If she is allowed to leave the palace, it doesn't matter to her, but a person with a restless mind like her cannot live a life of cultivation.
Seeing Qin Zhao's disdain and disgust when he mentioned Zhao Yu, Xiao Ce was in a good mood.
"I have no other requirements for you, but one thing is that you must be loyal to me, otherwise I will not spare you!" Xiao Ce said seriously.
Qin Zhao nodded repeatedly: "If you can't even be loyal to the emperor, you are not worthy of being the emperor's woman."
So her crisis is resolved this time, right?
Xiao Ce was very satisfied with Qin Zhao's answer. He remembered that he had not been busy with any business all morning and wanted to leave. Qin Zhao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will be back soon."
As she spoke, she went indoors to get some snacks that were freshly baked today and asked Zhang Jixiang to take them away: "If the emperor doesn't remember to have lunch, he should fill his stomach with snacks first."
"Yes." Zhang Jixiang took the snack and explained in a low voice: "I really didn't mention it on purpose. The emperor asked about it. I said it unknowingly. Please forgive me."
"It's okay. I have explained it clearly to the emperor. Go ahead." Qin Zhao said with a faint smile.
Zhang Jixiang hurriedly followed Xiao Ce and walked away quickly.
After returning to the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Ce began to be busy. Seeing that lunch time had arrived, Zhang Jixiang quietly delivered the snacks to Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce picked up a piece and after eating it, he knew that it was made by Baoyu.
This time he handled the government affairs very quickly, and it only took an hour for him to handle it.
Recalling what Qin Zhao said, Xiao Ce said to Zhang Jixiang: "Do you know how the imperial concubine was living in the Zhao family before she left with Zhao Yuhe?"
"I have heard something. They say that Mr. Zhao has his own heart. After the imperial concubine married into the Zhao family, he ignored the imperial concubine. The entire Zhao family also treated the imperial concubine very badly. This is the first time I have seen the imperial concubine.
When the imperial concubine was the imperial concubine, she was too thin to be human-like..." Zhang Jixiang told some of the things he knew: "If the imperial concubine had not met the emperor, I am afraid she would have long ago..."
Zhang Jixiang did not dare to say anything more, but he had also seen Qin Zhao at his weakest.
At that time, he disliked Qin Zhao very much, and always felt that Qin Zhao was pretending to be sick too much. Looking back now, Qin Zhao was really thin and turned into a paper man at that time, and he might die at any time.
