"My sister had two surgeries yesterday, both with the same injured part. If you don't take good care of it, you will easily get injured in the future. Don't be careless." Qin Zhao motioned to Baozhu to go forward and help Zuo Zhaorong.
Zuo Zhaorong could not defeat Qin Zhao, so he returned to his palace with the help of Baozhu.
Qin Zhao also specially asked Baoping to come forward and look at the injured part of Zuo Zhaorong. Baoping helped Zuo Zhaorong take off his footwear. After looking at it carefully, he said: "Empress Zhaorong's foot injury is much better. I will give it a few more days."
It will recover soon, but during this period you need to be careful if there are any bumps, and Empress Zhaorong must not be careless."
Qin Zhao was about to respond when he turned around and saw Xiao Yi standing at the door looking in the direction of Zuo Zhaorong. She lowered her face and asked, "Does Prince An think Sister Zuo's slender feet are pretty?!"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that he didn't look at Zuo Zhaorong's feet at all. How could he look at them?
But when he saw Qin Zhao looking at him coldly and convicting him with one sentence, he was a little unconvinced: "Sister-in-law of the emperor, please don't just lay accusations on me. I didn't even look at this woman."
He would recognize what he had done, but he was just thinking about other things, his eyes were unfocused, and he never looked at Zuo Zhaorong.
Zuo Zhaorong lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and his expression was indifferent.
"Don't dare to admit what King An has done?!" Qin Zhao wanted to cause a conflict between Xiao Yi and Zuo Zhaorong. It would be even better if he could see the two of them fighting.
"What's so good about this woman? If it's the emperor's sister-in-law's slender feet, my brother will definitely be fascinated by it." It was originally a very frivolous statement, but when it came out of Xiao Yi's mouth at this moment, it seemed particularly solemn.
Qin Zhao lowered his face and looked at Zuo Zhaorong.
It was not her imagination, there was no color on Zuo Zhaorong's face. When she first met Zuo Zhaorong, Zuo Zhaorong's face looked much better.
"Prince An, please don't be so arrogant to the Queen!!" At this moment, Zuo Zhaorong suddenly shouted.
Xiao Yi frowned slightly, glanced at Zuo Zhaorong, and then turned away coldly: "Brother Chen is waiting for the emperor's wife outside. The emperor's wife can come out after seeing the people. There is no need to waste time on unimportant people."
This unimportant person naturally refers to Zuo Zhaorong.
Regardless of whether Xiao Yi's words were intended to distance himself from Zuo Zhaorong, for the person involved, Xiao Yi's words were definitely not pleasant to listen to.
To be precise, every woman has self-esteem, and Zuo Zhaorong is no exception.
Qin Zhao subconsciously looked at Zuo Zhaorong, his eyebrows gentle: "King An has always been like this, and his words are not pleasant to the ears. My sister, please don't take Prince An's words to heart."
Zuo Zhaorong showed a faint smile: "Sister is right. But King An's behavior is getting more and more wanton. It's important for sister to find a way to get rid of King An."
Qin Zhao nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but I have tried many methods, but King An is like a dog-skin plaster, and I can't get rid of it. My sister is always smart, can you help me find a way to get rid of An?"
The king’s entanglement?”
Zuo Zhaorong met Qin Zhao's sincere expression and shook his head slightly: "My sister is stupid. I can't even think of a way for my sister. How can my sister think of it? King An seems to really like my sister. Will my sister be betrayed by King An..."
She hesitated to speak, but what she didn't finish left people thinking.
Qin Zhao understood what Zuo Zhaorong had not finished saying. Zuo Zhaorong asked her if she would fall in love with Xiao Yi one day.
If she said yes, would Zuo Zhaorong kill her out of jealousy?
"How can I have thoughts about Prince An when I have such a pampered and loved man as the Emperor?" Qin Zhao laughed and shook his head.
Zuo Zhaorong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he suddenly thought about what if Xiao Ce could not come back one day? At that time, the world of Daqi might change hands, and Xiao Yi is the best candidate.
At that time, will Qin Zhao fall into Xiao Yi's arms? And become Xiao Yi's favorite concubine?
"Sister, please take good care of yourself. I'm back. I'll come visit you again tomorrow." Qin Zhao specially reported tomorrow's itinerary in advance.
"Sister, walk slowly." Zuo Zhaorong looked at the red line.
Hongxian understood and respectfully sent Qin Zhao off.
"You go back and take care of your mistress. If her foot injury gets worse, she must see a doctor for a good diagnosis." Qin Zhao warned the red line before leaving.
Hongxian's eyes were half-squinted as he watched Qin Zhao leave with the support of Baozhu, while His Highness Prince An was waiting behind Qin Zhao like a bodyguard, and the distance was never far nor close.
This is the romantic and uninhibited His Highness Prince An. When has he ever been so considerate to a woman?
At that time, Qin Zhao was riding on a horse and wanted to go back to Kunning Palace, but Xiao Yi suddenly said: "Would you like to go to Mingyuan, sister-in-law? At this time of year, plum blossoms and peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is a good time to enjoy flowers."
Qin Zhao closed his eyes and sat on the pedestal, and calmly opened his lips: "Not interested!"
Mingyuan was a garden specially built for her by Xiao Ce. It was her exclusive place. How could she go to Mingyuan with Xiao Yi to enjoy the flowers?
Xiao Yi looked up at Qin Zhao's side face and found that Qin Zhao's expression looked particularly cold. If the man she was facing was Xiao Ce, she would definitely not have this impatient expression.
In the past, he was particularly jealous of Xiao Ce's ability to become the prince, but now he seems to be even more envious of Xiao Ce's ability to win Qin Zhao's people and heart.
The whole journey was speechless.
Qin Zhao returned to Kunning Palace smoothly, but when he entered the palace, he saw peach blossoms in full bloom on both sides of the aisle.
She slowed down and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
At this time, Baohong hurriedly came forward and explained Qin Zhao's confusion: "This is the peach blossom specially prepared by the emperor for the queen."
Qin Zhao was in a daze. She knew this was Xiao Ce's handiwork. Xiao Ce had been quite decent for half his life, but he did a lot of extraordinary things for her.
"I thought he was far away at the border..."
"But the emperor is still thinking about the empress, so he secretly prepared this surprise for the empress. By the way, the emperor's letter to the empress has also arrived." Baohong said, handing more than a dozen family letters to Qin Zhao.
"Why are there more than ten letters?" Qin Zhao was surprised.
"I heard that they were delayed on the road and got stuck at the same bus stop, so they all piled up together." Baohong clearly saw that her queen was so happy that her fingers were trembling.
When Xiao Yi saw the thick stack of letters from home, jealousy burned in his heart. He suddenly wanted to go forward and burn all the dozen or so letters from home.
Or smash these unsightly peach blossoms to pieces!
"Prince An hasn't left the palace yet?!" Qin Zhao suddenly turned around and looked at Xiao Yi and asked.
Xiao Yi suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said calmly: "My younger brother will have lunch with the emperor's wife before returning to the palace."
Qin Zhao handed all the letters back to Baohong and took another look at Baohong.
Baohong immediately understood that the empress did not intend to open the letter sent by the emperor in front of His Highness Prince An.
After that, Qin Zhao ordered people to pass on lunch. She wanted to eat her fill quickly. After Xiao Yi had eaten his lunch and left Kunning Palace, she would take a good look at the letter Xiao Ce sent her.
However, Xiao Yi seemed to be slowing down on purpose and hadn't finished eating in three quarters of an hour.
