Xiao Yi's warm breath blew against Qin Zhao's ears. Qin Zhao clenched his fists and restrained himself from attacking Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi stared at the woman in front of him steadily for a while, then left gracefully.
Qin Zhao felt relieved when he heard Xiao Yi's footsteps disappearing.
She stepped forward and helped Baoyu up, "Get up."
Baoyu stood aside silently: "It's my slave who has caused trouble to the empress."
"If it's not you, it's someone else. As long as it's someone I care about, Prince An may make a fuss about it. I'm the culprit." Qin Zhao sat down with Baozhu's support.
Today she had dragon jade in her hand, so she temporarily dismissed Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi will definitely make things difficult for her again.
When Xiao Yi returned to Prince An's Mansion, Mrs. Hu immediately came forward to greet him: "Your Highness can't continue like this. If the Emperor returns to the palace safely, he will settle the score with His Highness as soon as possible."
Xiao Yi is now disrespectful to Qin Zhao, and there are so many witnesses. If Xiao Ce returns safely, then Xiao Yi can't be punished?
"There are only two possibilities for the development of the situation. One is that the emperor brother is dead, and the other is that the emperor brother is fine. In the former case, Xiao Ce is no longer a threat, and in the latter case, the emperor brother will not let me go. I am drunk now.
, understand?" Xiao Yi curled his lips indifferently.
If nothing unexpected happens, Bao Lan is also one of the people trained by Hu.
Seeing Baolan die in front of him, Qin Zhao felt bad.
Baolan struggled to finish this sentence.
"You are a chess piece that was easily abandoned by King An. You are still so young, don't you want to live?" Qin Zhao still couldn't understand.
Many people in Kunning Palace didn't know what happened. They only knew that Bao Lan, who had always been calm, steady and very popular, suddenly died.
The next moment, Bao Lan was seen clutching her belly and falling to the ground, with a mouthful of black blood spilling from her lips.
The next day, Qin Zhao stopped wandering around and stayed in Kunning Palace.
Bao Lan has a calm temperament, and is often very similar to Bao Zhu, but maybe someone specially cultivated Bao Lan to have a temperament like Bao Zhu.
If he doesn't have long to live, then his biggest regret must be Qin Zhao.
"You have nothing to say?" Qin Zhao's eyes were fixed on Bao Lan's head.
Mrs. Hu saw this and knew that Xiao Yi was looking for Lu He again.
Not only Qin Zhao thought about it, Baozhu also thought about who took the dragon jade.
This incident soon spread, and Xiao Yi's vicious methods were very similar to Xiao Ce's previous treatment methods.
When Xiao Yi went to Kunning Palace, it was as if he was in a deserted place, and no one stopped him.
Soon Baolan entered and knelt down in front of Qin Zhao. Although Qin Zhao didn't ask anything, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore.
Qin Zhao was stunned and suddenly understood the meaning of Bao Lan's words.
I wonder what Baolan’s original temperament was like? As a chess piece, Baolan had no chance to choose his own destiny.
Bao Zhu was afraid that her severe mood swings would affect the pregnancy, so she ordered people to take away Bao Lan's body.
She finally placed a good chess piece in Kunning Palace.
"Empress..."
She should have thought long ago that since Baolan is a useless chess piece and has no value, Xiao Yi can no longer keep this chess piece.
Nowadays, even Lu He is favored more than she and Luo Shang. Just because Lu He has contact with Zhuang Qing is simply ridiculous.
But she didn't expect that the dragon jade she put on the dressing table yesterday was missing.
She actually did not regret coming to serve Qin Zhao. Even though Qin Zhao had never trusted her, she still unconsciously regarded Qin Zhao as her master...
After Xiao Yi went to court, he occasionally heard palace officials and chamberlains speaking ill of Qin Zhao behind his back, so he directly ordered the guards to pull out the tongues of these people.
Baozhu was horrified when he saw this scene, but Qin Zhao looked indifferent.
Qin Zhao thought thoughtfully: "It probably means he was brainwashed."
Baolan raised her head and looked at Qin Zhao: "The dragon jade was taken by the slave. I have nothing to say, but I will handle it according to the empress."
This incident quickly spread in the harem, and everyone said that Baolan had done something wrong and was executed by Qin Zhao, but few people cared about the real cause of Baolan's death.
"Slave, slave, I also want to have a good master like my empress..."
Hu's face changed slightly: "Does Your Highness have to do this?"
Xiao Yi didn't want to continue this topic: "You send a message to the palace that I want to take away the dragon jade in Qin Zhao's hand."
For a time, everyone felt insecure and no longer dared to talk about Qin Zhao behind his back.
This time, Seth secretly prepared to attack Da Qi, but Xiao Ce knew about the plot in advance. Qin Zhao had been checking medical books as early as last month, and he suspected that Xiao Ce knew that he was going to poison him.
Everyone just felt that Queen Qin was too vicious. She did not seek blessings for the child even though she was pregnant with the dragon heir, but actually did something evil to her own personal attendant.
"Let Baolan come in." Qin Zhao was not surprised.
This is to prevent Qin Zhao from repeating his old tricks when he goes to find Qin Zhao again.
Xiao Yi is a romantic person and seems to be a useless prince, but there are many people who work hard for Xiao Yi.
He knew Xiao Ce well. If he failed to succeed, Xiao Ce would definitely target him with suspicion. After all, Xiao Ce had disliked him long before this and sent many people to keep an eye on Prince An's Mansion.
"Maybe His Highness is overthinking. Even if the matter fails and the Emperor has no evidence, His Highness may not be able to be punished." Mrs. Hu opened her lips with difficulty.
"I have only met His Royal Highness Prince An a few times. But as long as I can remember, I have been working for that person." Baolan answered generally.
If it was as he suspected, he might not be able to save his life.
If he could take the dragon jade under her nose, there is no doubt that he is a thief.
"Chess pieces should always be used at the most suitable time." Xiao Yi said and went to the villa where Lu He lived.
The focus in her eyes gradually turned into nothingness. She thought more than once that it would be great if she were one of Qin Zhao's four treasures. The time she spent in Kunning Palace was the most relaxing and comfortable time in her life.
.
She couldn't avoid Xiao Yi anyway. As long as Long Yu was in hand, Xiao Yi would be more or less restrained.
It's not that she doesn't want to live, it's that she can't live.
Qin Zhao has always been on guard against her, and her role as a chess piece is not great. Now that she has become a useless chess piece, whether she lives or dies is only a matter of Qin Zhao's thoughts.
Baolan remained silent.
She only needs to think carefully to know who took the dragon jade. Besides Bao Lan, who else around her would betray her?
Baolan looked confused, and after a while she said: "This slave's fate was determined as early as the day she entered the palace."
Mrs. Hu wanted to refute, but she also knew that Xiao Yi's words were reasonable, so is this the reason why Xiao Yi was reckless?
"What benefits did King An give you?" Qin Zhao was still a little curious.
He was a little surprised, but the journey was smooth and he finally reached the study.
Qin Zhao was reading a book. He stepped forward curiously and asked, "Zhao Zhao, what are you reading?"
