"Yes, I will retire!" Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and retreated.
After Zhao Yu walked away, Xiao Ce opened his lips coldly: "Zhang Jixiang, you are so brave!!"
Zhang Jixiang was sweating on the side. He had only said before that the emperor did not remember many things, and there was no need to mention some unpleasant things, but today...
"The emperor will follow the servant inside first, and the servant will slowly report the matter to the emperor." Zhang Jixiang glanced around.
There were many people waiting nearby. Xiao Ce regained his senses and entered first.
There was no one else around, so Zhang Jixiang knelt down in front of Xiao Ce and explained clearly what happened to Wu Xiyu after entering the East Palace and then returning to the Zhao Mansion.
After learning that Wu Xiyu was once his beloved wife, and was later sent out of the East Palace by him, and that Wu Xiyu and Zhao Yu were even married, Xiao Ce himself couldn't help but rebuke him: "Absurd."
However, knowing that Wu Xiyu's heart was with Zhao Yu, he did not take Wu Xiyu's life, but instead fulfilled Wu Xiyu and Zhao Yu, which was in line with his temperament.
Since she is the woman he abandoned and can win over his courtiers, she still has value in using her, which is more meaningful than executing her.
Zhang Jixiang knelt on the ground and thought this was ridiculous.
In fact, there was one thing he didn't dare to say, and that was the fact that Yue Qing was the imperial concubine's substitute. It was precisely because of this incident that the emperor was very unhappy, and he had a quarrel with the imperial concubine.
Later, things got out of hand, and the imperial concubine hit the emperor with a palm. After the emperor was injured, he forgot many things.
But if he didn't say it, he would have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
After hesitating again and again, he decided to speak out: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."
"What else are you hiding from me?!" As soon as he saw Zhang Jixiang's hesitant look, Xiao Ce knew that the matter was serious.
"Yes, it's about the imperial concubine. Before the emperor was injured, he had a dispute with the imperial concubine. This matter actually has something to do with Mr. Zhao..." Zhang Jixiang was hesitant, not forgetting to look at Xiao Ce's expression.
Xiao Ce's face changed slightly, his eyes were cold, and he spat out one word from between his teeth: "Speak!"
"There was a rumor at that time that Mr. Zhao's concubine was slightly similar to the imperial concubine..." After Zhang Jixiang finished speaking hesitantly, he felt that the room was so quiet that he could hear his own heart beating like a drum.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stammered: "I think there may be some misunderstanding, because the imperial concubine was completely neglected by Master Zhao before they reconciled. In this case, Master Zhao also
How could you have such evil thoughts? It was precisely because the emperor questioned the imperial concubine that time, which chilled the imperial concubine's heart, that the imperial concubine and the emperor quarreled..."
He was afraid that something like that would happen again, so he was busy interceding with Qin Zhao.
Xiao Ce didn't speak for a long time. Zhang Jixiang looked up and met Xiao Ce's cold eyes.
Zhang Jixiang has been serving Xiao Ce for so many years, but he has never seen such a scary side of Xiao Ce. His eyes seemed to come from Shura from hell, which was three points colder than the ice and snow in the cold winter.
Zhang Jixiang no longer dared to look at his master, so he just prostrated on the ground, trying to avoid Xiao Ce's anger.
"You are so brave, how dare you deceive me!" Xiao Ce kicked Zhang Jixiang over with one kick.
Of course Zhang Jixiang didn't avoid it and took the kick forcefully.
By the time he reacted, his master was no longer in front of him.
He was only in a daze for a moment before he realized that Xiao Ce was looking for trouble with the imperial concubine.
Oops!
He hurriedly got up and quickly chased out...
Qin Zhao has been a little uneasy since he met Zhao Yu in the Yangxin Hall.
Although there was nothing scandalous between her and Zhao Yu, something bad would happen every time she met Zhao Yu. This time her eyes kept twitching, which was obviously an ominous omen.
Sometimes, her intuition is damn accurate. Is it possible that she will be implicated by Zhao Yu again today?
When she heard Xiao Ce's fast footsteps coming towards the main hall, she knew that her damn premonition was accurate again.
Nothing good was going to happen when it came to Zhao Yu, her ex-husband. From the sound of Xiao Ce's angry footsteps, she knew she was going to suffer.
She was pacing back and forth indoors, which made Bao Zhu a little puzzled.
"I'm going to the study. Don't follow me." Qin Zhao only panicked for a moment and then calmed down.
Anyway, she has no affair with Zhao Yu, so she is not afraid of Xiao Ce coming to trouble her. But it is not a good thing if it involves Zhao Yu, her ex-husband, so everyone has to stay away to avoid Xiao Ce taking the things around her in anger.
Someone come and do the surgery.
Xiao Ce comes in anger, so maybe she can only overcome strength with gentleness?
After all, this is what Xiao Ce seems to do.
With her plan in mind, her heart was still beating fast and her palms were sweating. She was afraid that something uncontrollable would happen later. But no matter how bad the outcome was, she couldn't possibly break up with Xiao Ce like she did last time, right?
But this time I can't be rude again!
When Xiao Ce angrily found the study, he heard melodious music coming from inside.
His hurried footsteps slowed down, and his raging anger seemed to have eased. When he stood in front of the study and saw Qin Zhao sitting by the piano with his fingers flying, his eyes froze.
Today, Qin Zhao is wearing a lake blue cross-collar dress. She has no makeup, but her jade skin is as good as ice and snow. Her green hair is like a waterfall, her jade fingers are slender, and her sandalwood mouth is slightly pursed, which is an attractive red.
Even though he had met Qin Zhao countless times, Xiao Ce was still amazed when he saw Qin Zhao this time.
Qin Zhao seemed to have just seen him at this moment. He bent forward to him, and his slender waist curved into an attractive curve. Xiao Ce's eyes became hot at this moment, and his breathing quickened.
"My concubine has come to see the Emperor and respectfully invites His Majesty to be safe." Qin Zhao's voice was like a kingfisher. Because he deliberately softened his voice, it seemed to have a little softness.
She just hoped that the young emperor could calm down his anger and not bring bad luck to her as soon as he came in.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Ce could not forgive her. She looked in doubt and met Xiao Ce's eyes as dark as ink. There was an undercurrent surging in them, a turbulence that she could not see through.
The next moment, Xiao Ce walked in with heavy steps, and the study door was slammed shut by him in an instant. A "bang" sound made Qin Zhao's heart skip a beat.
Qin Zhao barely maintained a decent smile until Xiao Ce's long legs reached her. When she was about to speak, Xiao Ce pinched her chin with such force that it hurt.
She was panicked, but she didn't show it, and looked back calmly.
"I didn't know in the past that my beloved concubine's appearance was so outstanding." Xiao Ce's words, and he didn't know whether he was respectful or sarcastic, let go of Qin Zhao's poor chin.
Qin Zhaoqiang calmed himself: "Your Majesty is making false compliments. In terms of appearance, your Majesty is as handsome as a dragon and a phoenix, and my concubines are not as good as your Majesty."
I wonder if wearing a tall hat on Xiao Ce can help calm him down.
Although she didn't know if Xiao Ce came here to trouble her specifically because of Zhao Yu.
