Cheng Jin subconsciously pulled Xiao Yu away from him, like a snake or a scorpion.
Princess Yongning was anxious and angry, but could not get angry, and finally left in a hurry.
She is not in a hurry. Even if she is grounded now, she will still have a chance to make a comeback when the emperor's anger subsides. She has the final say in her marriage, and the only person she wants to marry is Cheng Jin, not any other man.
As soon as Princess Yongning left, Cheng Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
He was only glad that Xiao Yu did not give up on him because he left the palace and took the initiative to approach him. Otherwise, he would only have an impression of Princess Yongning on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. In this case, he was likely to be deceived by lard and choose
Princess Shang Yongning.
Now that he thinks about it, he is still afraid, and Xiao Yu is his salvation.
How did Xiao Yu know about Cheng Jin's thoughts? Her mood was still a little heavy.
After walking out of the Yangxin Hall, Qin Zhao glanced at Zhixi.
Logically speaking, it was Zhixi who accused Princess Yongning of setting up Cheng Jin this time, but she still felt that Zhixi was suspicious.
Maybe this was just her preconceived idea, but she just didn't like Zhixi.
Zhixi didn't seem to know that she was sizing him up, and stayed by her side silently, looking respectful and polite.
Xiao Yu followed Qin Zhao's gaze and whispered: "I didn't expect that Zhixi would step up and help us this time."
Qin Zhao slowed down and said to Xiao Yu: "It's rare for you to enter the palace, so go to Jinyang Palace and sit for a while before leaving."
Xiao Yu thought so too, but Cheng Jin was also there, and it was inconvenient to enter Jinyang Palace.
Cheng Jin seemed to understand her concerns and said to her: "Go ahead and I'll wait for you to leave the palace together."
Xiao Yu smiled broadly: "Then I'll get some snacks. You wait for me at the palace gate. I won't let you wait too long."
When Qin Zhao heard what Xiao Yu said, he knew that this girl was thinking about the snacks made by Baoyu.
And she had something to ask Xiao Yu, so she asked Xiao Yu to make this trip.
After arriving at Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "You said that Zhixi has longing for Cheng Jin. If that's the case, why did she help you this time? Don't you think it doesn't make sense?
?"
"It is precisely because she likes A Jin that she helped to find A Shao when she saw A Jin being entangled by Yong Ning. Isn't this natural?" Xiao Yu disagreed.
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment before saying: "If I were Zhixi, and I didn't like you, and saw you being entangled by Princess Yongning, I would definitely watch on the sidelines, and even add insult to injury. Just now I saw that Zhixi was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the emperor. I
I just feel like this maid is not simple."
Therefore, she didn't believe that Zhixi would be so kind and would actually help Xiao Yu.
If she were in a situation like Zhixi's, she would definitely hope that the muddy water would become muddier and muddier, which would be beneficial to her.
"Because Ajin promised the emperor that it would only take three days to prove his innocence, but he didn't know where to start. If Zhixi had not stood up to testify against Ashao and Ashao was exposed, Ajin might not have been able to pass this battle." Xiao
Yu was also a little confused.
On the one hand, she knew that Qin Zhao was more accurate than she was on judging people. On the other hand, Zhixi had indeed helped her and Cheng Jin this time. If she still doubted Zhixi, would she be burning a bridge?
Qin Zhao saw Xiao Yu frowning and couldn't help but smile: "The most complicated thing in this world is the human heart. In short, Zhixi is right under your nose, so you can keep an eye on it. You just need to remember that Yongning is today
The appearance of the eldest princess is enough. Zhixi has been with Prince Cheng for many years, and the eldest princess Yongning has become a demon. Do you think Zhixi will easily let go of her love for Prince Cheng? A maid who has thoughts about your man.
Just waiting for an opportunity, he may sacrifice himself to Prince Cheng at any time..."
"How dare she?!" Xiao Yu's expression changed when she heard this.
Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Yu had listened at this moment: "That's what I want to tell you. In short, keep your eyes open. If you have any questions, discuss it with Aunt Qi first. Remember, you must be on guard against others."
Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
After she picked up some snacks and went to the palace gate, when she saw Zhixi peeking at Cheng Jin from time to time, she knew that Qin Zhao's concerns were correct.
Maybe Zhixi's sudden accusation against Ah Shao did have something hidden.
Maybe she should find someone to keep an eye on Zhixi at all times to prevent Zhixi from playing tricks...
"What's wrong?" Cheng Jin asked when he saw Xiao Yu looking straight ahead.
Xiao Yu leaned on his shoulder: "A little tired."
Cheng Jin thought she was feeling chilled by what Princess Yongning had done, so he comforted her and said, "Everything is over. Princess Yongning can no longer harm us."
"I hope so." Xiao Yu remembered Qin Zhao's instructions to her before leaving.
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao was also thinking about Zhixi.
Seeing that she was thoughtful, Bao Zhu said, "I feel that your Majesty is particularly concerned about the affairs of Princess Yongchun."
Qin Zhao thought the same thing: "It's probably because there are too few people who are close to me and rely on me so much."
She was always afraid that Xiao Yu would suffer a loss after getting married, but she also knew that Xiao Yu would always grow up. Xiao Yu handled this incident very well.
"Outsiders all say that the empress is vicious and domineering. In fact, the empress has the softest heart. Whenever others treat her better, the empress will dig out her heart and lungs." Baozhu said with emotion.
It's just that others always only see how powerful the imperial concubine's skills are and how noble her status is, but few people can touch the most real and softest imperial concubine.
This was the first time Qin Zhao heard Baozhu say that he was soft-hearted.
Is a person like her considered soft-hearted? That's because Bao Zhu has never seen her method of punishing people in her previous life.
Especially when she was jealous, if someone committed a crime, it would mean death.
In the past, she always felt that Xiao Ce in this life was different from Xiao Ce in the previous life, and a little softer. Could it be that she was also influenced by Xiao Ce in a subtle way, which is why the orb was called "soft".
In this harem, "softness" is not a good thing.
On the other hand, when leaving the Heart Cultivation Hall, Xiao Ce's expression was condensed, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
Xiao Ce grew up in such a harem environment. Except for the Empress Dowager, Xiao Ce's close relatives seemed to have evil intentions.
Not to mention the late emperor's partial favor for Concubine Wu, the empress dowager Guo was vicious, and her treatment of her own son was not much better.
Today, there is another Princess Yongning who is equally scheming and shameless. If she were in Xiao Ce's position, how could she be in a good mood?
Fortunately for her, she didn't have to face Xiao Ce who was in a bad mood.
However, she was still too happy too early.
Before lunch, Zhang Jixiang came over and said that he had been ordered by the emperor to come and have lunch with him.
On the way to the Yangxin Hall, Qin Zhao took the rare opportunity to inquire about the situation: "How is the emperor feeling? Is he feeling better?"
It seems to have been more than an hour since everyone left the Yangxin Hall, right?
