Qin Zhao was about to run out to meet Xiao Ce, but Xiao Yi suddenly rushed over from behind her and hugged her from behind.
Her face changed slightly, and she bent her elbow and hit Xiao Yi in the abdomen.
Because she was pregnant, she did not dare to exert all her strength, but the strength of this elbow was not trivial.
Xiao Yi groaned in pain, but did not let go of Qin Zhao. His hands were still on her bulging belly, where Xiao Ce's child was conceived.
"Qin Zhao, I will hug you just this once, don't push me away..."
Before he could finish his words, Qin Zhao hit him in the chest with another elbow.
The force of Qin Zhao's elbow was so strong that his energy and blood surged. He could not hold on this time. As soon as the force loosened, Qin Zhao ran out of his arms.
But when she looked up and saw Xiao Ce standing not far away, she couldn't be happy anymore.
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Ce just saw the scene of Xiao Yi hugging her.
Xiao Ce was filled with murderous intent as he slowly approached Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi also saw Xiao Ce, and he smiled carelessly: "Brother Huang is back, let me wait. Brother Chen is still thinking that if brother Huang doesn't come back, brother I will simply take possession of the emperor's wife——"
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ce choked him hard.
Qin Zhao saw clearly from the side that Xiao Ce could break Xiao Yi's neck with just a little force.
But she didn't say anything, because Xiao Yi really deserved to die.
However, Xiao Yi must not be in this kind of life and death.
Xiao Yi's romantic eyebrows met Xiao Ce's bloodshot eyes, and he forced a smile, feeling that dying in Xiao Ce's hands should be the best ending for him.
At this time, the Queen Mother learned that Xiao Ce had returned to the palace and rushed to Kunning Palace. She happened to see this scene and shouted: "Ace, no, let go of Ayi, he is your brother..."
Xiao Ce did not respond or let go of Xiao Yi. The Empress Dowager hurriedly ran to Xiao Ce to stop him: "Ace, Grandmother, please spare him for this last time."
Xiao Ce turned to look at the Empress Dowager, who burst into tears: "No matter what, he is your brother..."
Xiao Ce's hand loosened, and Xiao Yi collapsed on the ground, like a puddle of mud.
Xiao Ce glanced at Xiao Yi and asked expressionlessly: "Then Grandma Huang, tell me, how should we deal with Prince An?"
"Give him a fiefdom, far away from Kyoto——"
"Does the Queen Mother know that King An wanted to kill the Emperor more than once?!" Qin Zhao became angry when he heard the Queen Mother's words, and yelled at the Queen Mother for the first time.
The Empress Dowager subconsciously retorted: "No, it is impossible for Prince An to have such an idea."
"Prince An's Mansion has been making frequent moves during this period. Is Grandma the Queen pretending not to know, or is she really unaware? Does Grandma Huang know that if the Emperor hadn't noticed it in advance, the Emperor would have been murdered by Prince An?!" Qin Zhao pressed him again and again, his voice a little bit louder.
Choked.
The Queen Mother does not feel sorry for Xiao Ce, but she does.
She lost Xiao Ce once in her previous life. Xiao Ce was really killed by Xiao Yi in her previous life. The life she and Xiao Ce missed was caused by Xiao Yi.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth, but when she saw Qin Zhao's teary eyes, she was speechless for a moment.
"The Imperial Grandmother only saw the royal heirs withering away and was reluctant to take action against King An. Then did the Imperial Grandmother ever see the Emperor's tolerance towards Prince An over the years? Did the Emperor not know that Prince An was ambitious, or did the Emperor not know that Prince An was treating me?
How many times have you been disrespected by the palace?!" Qin Zhao was furious, rushed to Xiao Yi and stepped on his chest hard.
Xiao Yi pervertedly grabbed her feet and refused to let go: "Yes, I can die at your feet, I, in my life..."
In anger, Qin Zhao used his toes and kicked Xiao Yi away.
Xiao Yi's body spun twice in the air and fell heavily to the ground.
Whether he was too angry or exerted too much force, Qin Zhao felt some pain in his abdomen.
She suddenly panicked. Only then did Xiao Ce react and shouted loudly: "Call the imperial doctor!"
Baoping was also frightened and hurriedly checked Qin Zhao's pulse and administered acupuncture.
After a period of panic, Qin Zhao's abdominal discomfort eased. It was just that he was too excited and had fetal gas, but he would be fine after a few days of recovery.
The Empress Dowager finally felt relieved. She felt ashamed to show her face in front of Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce. Qin Zhao was so excited just now because she was protecting Xiao Yi. She knew this.
The moment they walked out of Kunning Palace, Nanny Li advised: "His Royal Highness An really did something wrong this time. He plotted to kill the emperor, so His Highness An can't stay."
It is clear that the Emperor has never treated His Highness Prince An badly in these years, but His Highness Prince An is still immature. It is impossible for anyone to tolerate Xiao Yi anymore.
The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "After all, the Ai family is getting older, becoming more and more soft-hearted, and becoming more and more confused, which almost harmed Zhao Yatou and the child in her belly."
"My Queen, please don't blame yourself. You are also thinking about the overall situation and the royal family. Fortunately, the Emperor and the Queen have a good relationship. There will be more and more children in the future. This baby may still be a prince." Aunt Li comforted the Emperor.
The Queen Mother said.
"The Ai family is old. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. The Ai family should not continue to interfere, so as not to hurt the children's hearts..." The Empress Dowager sighed softly and left on the Buju.
The seriously injured Xiao Yi was dragged down like this. When he was dragged away, his eyes were fixed on the direction of the main hall, as if this would make Qin Zhao come out to see him again...
In the dormitory, the others retreated one by one, leaving only Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao.
They looked at each other for a long time, until Xiao Ce couldn't help but press a kiss on Qin Zhao's lips.
The two were separated for a long time, and this kiss was lingering and lingering, from tenderness to cruelty. With one kiss, the air seemed to be on fire.
When the kiss was enough, the two of them were out of breath.
Xiao Ce stretched out his hand and couldn't help but hug Qin Zhao into his arms: "I returned to the palace yesterday, I shouldn't show up now."
He was in her eyes and in her heart, but he was still scheming. He was so virtuous and capable that she could protect him unconditionally.
Qin Zhao snuggled into his arms and absorbed the warmth of his embrace: "Anyway, as long as you come back safely, it's never too late. Besides, if I have to deal with King An, I can do it alone."
It's just that she didn't take any serious action before these two days.
Xiao Ce carefully touched her belly and said, "The baby is already so big and will be born in a few months."
"It's still early, it can't be that soon. The due date is September." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's hand, put it between his lips and kissed it gently.
When Xiao Ce saw her like this, he was moved by emotion and kissed her deeply again.
When Qin Zhao was almost out of breath, he reluctantly let her go.
"By the way, you're not hurt, are you?" When Qin Zhao regained his breath, he suddenly thought of business.
Xiao Ce smiled and said: "I didn't go to the battlefield, I just gave advice, how could I be injured? Now I cherish my life the most, and I will not give my life away easily. My life belongs to you and the children, no one can take it.
