Zhao Yu took a carriage and returned to the Zhao Mansion. He saw Wu Xiyu and his maid waiting in front of the Chuihua Gate. When he came back, Wu Xiyu, who had put on light spring clothes early, came forward to greet him, "My cousin is tired..."
"
Before she could finish her words, Zhao Yu interrupted her: "I still have something to do."
He was about to pass by Wu Xiyu, but Wu Xiyu quickly took his arm and said softly: "Cousin, please stay with me tonight, okay?"
Zhao Yu frowned and looked at Wu Xiyu. Wu Xiyu raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with charm: "I miss my cousin..."
Zhao Yu withdrew his hand: "Let's talk about it then."
Without waiting for Wu Xiyu to answer, he walked away quickly.
Wu Xiyu looked at Zhao Yu's back, and the affection in her eyes disappeared.
If she were pregnant with Zhao Yu's child, she wouldn't be so humble as to beg for favor.
Zhao Yu was already a member of the cabinet and became a powerful minister as she had foreseen. But what about her? But she failed to become the beloved wife of a powerful minister.
For a moment, Wu Xiyu felt sad...
On the other side, Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao heard the discussion in Jinyang Palace early in the morning, especially Anya's sharp voice.
"Qin, this stinky and shameless bastard, the emperor must have fallen in love with that enchanting concubine, so he missed the morning court for such an enchanting concubine..." Anya repeated these insults over and over again.
Qin Zhao heard this clearly and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Ce who was leisurely drinking tea in front of him.
The man in front of me is wearing the simplest crescent white gown. At first glance, he looks like a handsome young man from aristocratic family. But he is very dignified, noble and elegant. Seeing such a beautiful man, it is easy for people to feel possessive.
Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, as long as they are beautiful, they will always make people happy. Qin Zhao is not exempt from this custom.
Xiao Ce felt that Qin Zhao was looking at him more than once.
He raised his eyes and met Qin Zhao's direct and fiery eyes, raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "My beloved, do you have something to say?"
Qin Zhao suddenly came up to him, only inches away from him.
Seeing the little face as white as jade in front of him, his breath froze, and he had to push her face away: "If you have something to say, talk to her."
"Does your Majesty know what people outside are saying about me, a demon concubine?" Qin Zhao muttered softly.
Xiao Ce's eyes were fixed on her small and bright red lips, and he secretly wondered how she could have such cute and charming lips. They looked very delicious.
He felt his eyes were burning, so he looked away and said, "My dear concubine, are you still afraid of rumors?"
"I am not afraid of my concubine, but it is not good for the emperor to miss the early morning court because of my concubine. How about the emperor return to Yangxin Hall first?" Qin Zhao finally got to the point.
After all, the knot in her heart had been resolved, and she felt at ease. However, Xiao Ce made the mistake of going to court because of her, which was beyond her expectation.
"To prevent my concubine from having wild thoughts, I will spend more time with my concubine today." Xiao Ce said and fed Qin Zhao a grape.
Qin Zhao was not surprised by Xiao Ce's answer. As the saying goes, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. Yesterday, she set off a fierce fire and burned herself.
In view of this, she no longer chases people away.
Fortunately, Xiao Ce just held her and slept with her that night and did nothing else. He must have known that he was a little ridiculous yesterday.
Xiao Ce returned to normal the next morning and went to the morning court on time.
Qin Zhao was also very busy, until Xiao Linzi hurried in and reported bad news to her, the Dayue clan coup, the King of the Dayue clan actually deposed the Dayue clan prince, and passed the throne to Seth.
Now that Seth has become the new king of the Dayue clan, this matter has become a foregone conclusion.
When Qin Zhao heard the news, he didn't know how he felt.
It was obvious that Seth was lame in one foot, but in the end Seth still inherited the throne.
Seth is very ambitious and has been coveting Qi for a long time. He will probably launch a war between the two countries soon like he did in his previous life.
At that time, will Xiao Ce go on a personal expedition again and die in battle?
When she thought about this possibility, her hands and feet became cold.
Throughout the whole day, Qin Zhao was out of his mind.
Xiao Ce was even busier over there. First, he ignored the government affairs all day yesterday and did everything for two days in one day. Second, because the Dayue clan changed hands, the ministers also argued about this matter for a long time today.
Everyone knows about Seth's character. It is definitely not a good thing for Seth to become the king of the Yuezhi. Some ministers suggested that Daqi take the initiative while Seth ascends the throne and the foundation is not stable.
Of course, a larger number of ministers advocate peace and say that it is not appropriate to actively provoke a war between the two countries.
The ministers had been arguing all morning but could not come to a conclusion, and peace finally returned to Xiao Ce.
By the time the work was over, it was already nighttime.
Xiao Ce had something on his mind and couldn't calm down, so he simply went to Jinyang Palace to see Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao also knew what happened in the court, and thought that Xiao Ce would not come, but seeing Xiao Ce's unfazed appearance, she knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon.
After all, Xiao Ce is the best at hiding his emotions.
She helped Xiao Ce take off his cloak, but she saw that his eyes were straight and unfocused, and she found it funny: "What is the emperor thinking about?"
Xiao Ce clasped her soft waist and asked her to sit on his lap, and then said: "The Dayue clan has changed its owner, and the world may not be peaceful."
Qin Zhao sat quietly on his lap and said calmly: "Although the new king is ambitious, our Qi is a huge country, why should we fear the monarch of a small country?!"
Xiao Ce smiled when he heard her words: "What you said makes sense."
"Last time, General Fu Guo defeated the Da Yueshi. Our Qi State has a prosperous army and is not afraid of Da Yueshi being dishonest." Qin Zhao circled Xiao Ce's neck, "Your Majesty, please don't worry too much. If the Da Yueshi come,
If they commit crimes, the Emperor will make sure that they never come back!"
Xiao Ce listened to her soft words and felt very comforted in his heart.
Originally, he was still thinking about the debates among the ministers, but now after listening to Qin Zhao's words, he suddenly felt that the matter was indeed not that complicated.
For some reason, he felt very heavy when he heard about Da Yuezhi before, always feeling that this country was unlucky.
At this moment, with the warm and fragrant nephrite in my arms, it seems that all big things are as simple as the woman in my arms said.
Sometimes he himself feels like a subjugated king...
After the two bathed, they lay together. Qin Zhao leaned on Xiao Ce's chest and mentioned the Dayue clan again: "If the Dayue clan invades one day, the emperor will send the generals of the auxiliary country to fight, but the emperor must not lead the expedition himself."
"Why can't I lead a military expedition in person?" Xiao Ce lowered his head and looked at Qin Zhao in his arms, because he heard her say last time that he couldn't lead a military expedition in person.
Qin Zhao was at a loss for words. After being silent for a long time, she said: "I had a bad dream. I dreamed that the emperor was killed when he was on a military expedition."
He hasn't recalled all the things in his previous life, but she feels that some things have been advanced compared to the previous life. Even though Seth was lame, he still became the king of the Dayue clan, which means that some things have not changed.
