"Well, let's let Zhang Jixiang answer the emperor's question. When the emperor first ordered his concubine to sleep with him, Zhang Jixiang should still have an impression." Qin Zhao looked at Zhang Jixiang who was standing aside and said.
Only then did Zhang Jixiang react, and he roughly explained the situation at that time.
At that time, he was still in the East Palace, and the emperor was still His Highness the Crown Prince. Because he felt that Qin Zhao had become a good lady and could not let Qin Zhao stay alone in the empty boudoir, he ordered Qin Zhao to sleep with him.
He clearly remembered that it was not the imperial concubine who took the initiative, so he could not unfairly accuse the imperial concubine.
Xiao Ce pursed his lips after listening to Zhang Jixiang's narration.
Does Zhang Jixiang mean that he thinks too much?
But why does his dream seem like he is the one being violated?
"Is the Emperor suffering from paranoia?" Qin Zhao blurted out when he saw that Xiao Ce was still struggling.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly, "What do you mean by loving a concubine?"
Qin Zhao said softly: "That's what it means literally. Although I know that the emperor doesn't like me, there is no need to throw dirty water on me like this. It was the emperor who asked me to sleep with him in the first place, and I still don't want to do it."
As for being brave enough to get the emperor drunk..."
When Xiao Ce heard this, he glanced over with sharp eyes: "How do you know the details of getting me drunk?"
He clearly remembered that he only said that she was seducing him.
Qin Zhao was dumbfounded. Did she just say the word "get drunk"?
"I don't know, I don't know. The lust that the emperor mentioned seems to only happen when the emperor is drunk, right?" Qin Zhaona said.
Xiao Ce felt that Qin Zhao's words were unreasonable. He looked at Qin Zhao coldly and felt that Qin Zhao knew about what happened in the dream. Otherwise, how could she accurately say that she was drunk?
Qin Zhao's heart dropped when he saw Xiao Ce looking at him.
She actually let it slip just now. Xiao Ce was so suspicious. How could she explain it to Xiao Ce?
"If the emperor just wants to cause trouble for me, he can tell me directly. There is no need to find some unreasonable things to frame me. Furthermore, the emperor is my man, so he is allowed to touch me. Is it right?
Are you not allowed to take the initiative with the emperor? What is the logic of this? Does the emperor like his concubine to be like a piece of wood when she is on the couch?" Qin Zhao expressed his grievances.
Xiao Ce was a little confused when he heard Qin Zhao's series of words, but he remembered one thing. Qin Zhao had been very cold to him before.
This time he talked more and became more normal. This is the real Qin Zhao.
Could it be that Qin Zhao deliberately explained these things because he felt guilty?
During the day, she didn't want to say another word.
"Zhang Jixiang, you and everyone else, please step aside." Xiao Ce decided to have a good talk with Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao watched the others go away, feeling a little panicked. Seeing Xiao Ce like this, he really wanted to have a good chat with her.
After everyone had gone away, Xiao Ce ordered Qin Zhao: "My dear concubine, sit down."
Qin Zhao took his seat as instructed and behaved well.
When Xiao Ce saw her like this, he felt more and more that she was indeed guilty.
He pulled up another chair, sat down opposite Qin Zhao, and said bluntly: "Many of my dreams are related to my beloved concubine, but my beloved concubine looks different from now, but her temperament is the same, and A Yuan...
…”
Listening to what he said, what else does Qin Zhao not understand?
The dreams that Xiao Ce had were all real things that happened in the past life, just like Xiao Ce always dreamed about Wu Xirou in the past. She was jealous before, but now Xiao Ce dreams about himself in the past life. What does this mean?
Does he have her in his heart? Or is it because he spends so much time with her that he dreams about her at night?
"I don't understand what the emperor is saying." Qin Zhao could only pretend to be stupid until the end. She couldn't tell Xiao Ce that it was their chaotic previous life.
And all the bad things happened in that life, she didn't even want to think about it too much. Because she and him were always quarreling, they always had many conflicts, and she always cared about him and pretended to have too many things in her heart.
During state affairs, he was always surrounded by different harem concubines, and she couldn't even get enough of Nian Su's jealousy.
Now that I think about it, those days are quite tiring.
"I think my beloved concubine knows." Xiao Ce said in a deep voice.
"The emperor is imposing his own will on his concubine. If the emperor is still troubled, why not ask an expert to come to the palace to help the emperor. Mr. Ding, who the emperor invited to the palace before, is very capable. Maybe he can interpret the emperor's dreams.
How about just letting Zhang Jixiang handle this matter?" Qin Zhaoti suggested.
She happened to be looking for Ding Lian, but Ding Lian disappeared after leaving Kyoto. If she had connections like Xiao Ce, it would be easier to find Ding Lian back to the capital.
Xiao Ce still had doubts in his heart, and his intuition told him that this woman Qin Zhao might know something, but there was nothing he could do if she didn't speak.
"My beloved concubine is not sincere." After a long time, Xiao Ce said.
Qin Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I always have shortcomings of one kind or another in the eyes of the emperor, and I am used to it. If there is nothing else, I will retire."
She was about to retreat, but Xiao Ce said coldly: "I remember that my beloved concubine is here to sleep with me. How could my beloved concubine leave without her to sleep with her?"
Qin Zhao in the dream was so enthusiastic, but this one was cold. He always wanted to know if they were the same person.
Qin Zhao still stayed and slept with him. Although this kind of sleeping with him was like a transaction and there was no warmth at all, there was nothing wrong with Qin Zhao.
When she was dressed and about to leave, she heard Xiao Ce say: "One day I will find the truth, and I will look at the Aifei brand again tomorrow!"
Qin Zhao looked back at Xiao Ce and wanted to tell him the truth for a moment, but he might not believe her if she told her.
If she hadn't been reborn, she wouldn't have believed that there were people in this world who could go back to the past after death, right?
She came out of the back hall with deep thoughts. Just as she was thinking about her thoughts, she caught a glimpse of Queen Mother Guo standing not far in front.
The Yangxin Hall was brightly lit, but Queen Mother Guo stood in a darker corner, looking like a ghost and a bit eerie.
In fact, even now, she still does not regret luring Xiao Xiaoce to Cihe Palace and saving the life of Queen Mother Guo, just because that Xiao Ce is someone she will never betray.
As soon as Qin Zhao showed up, Queen Mother Guo rushed over like crazy, and even came to tear up her clothes. When she saw the marks on her body, Queen Mother Guo fixed her eyes.
She wished that Qin Zhao did not sleep with him, but when she saw Qin Zhao like this, she knew that everything was just her fantasy.
"What method did you use to seduce the emperor?!" Empress Dowager Guo asked Qin Zhao angrily.
Qin Zhao pulled his collar and arranged it slowly and smoothly, "Maybe it's because I am too deeply involved with the emperor. Maybe this is your fate, the Queen Mother, and no one can stop it."
Even if Xiao Ce resists her in his heart, she is still the woman closest to Xiao Ce, no one else.
