Qin Zhao understood that Xiao Ce came here specifically to tell her about this matter. He clearly knew that He Liangdi had suffered on her behalf and that the person behind the scenes really wanted to deal with her, not He Liangdi.
Maybe Xiao Ce also noticed that Concubine Wu was highly suspicious, but Xiao Ce had no evidence. Even if there was evidence, he couldn't do anything to Concubine Wu, right?
The latter is more likely, otherwise Xiao Ce would not look at her with such pitiful eyes.
In fact, Qin Zhao did guess something.
The palace servant was beaten to death, and the emperor also approached Xiao Ce and asked him not to focus on trivial matters.
Xiao Ce also understood one thing at this time. Even if there was evidence of Concubine Wu's crime, his father would not let him punish Concubine Wu.
"Girl, you don't understand the dangers in the deep palace. You should be more careful in your actions in the future..." Xiao Ce's voice faded.
Maybe he shouldn't leave her in the East Palace. Any place outside the palace is cleaner than the harem.
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce looking at her with fatherly eyes, she only felt funny: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will protect you. Even if one day I fail to protect myself, it is because I am incompetent."
, His Highness does not have any responsibility..."
"That's enough, don't say such unlucky words again." Xiao Ce interrupted Qin Zhao with a cold expression.
When Qin Zhao saw that Xiao Ce was unhappy, she stopped talking.
Xiao Ce pursed his lips and stopped talking, Qin Zhao didn't dare to speak casually, and the dinner ended in a tense atmosphere.
Seeing that the atmosphere was suffocating, Qin Zhao simply said: "I have gone to the study to warm up my books."
Xiao Ce didn't speak, and she didn't care, so she went to the study.
Xiao Ce stood at the door of the study room, looking at Qin Zhao as he read and wrote seriously. He didn't know whether he was more relieved or guilty.
He thought he could give her the best, but he thought things were too simple. The favor he gave her was actually a double-edged sword, pushing her to the edge.
In the past, he always felt that he was the prince and had no problem protecting a woman, but he forgot that there was also his father, his mother and his concubine, and even Concubine Wu who was eyeing her.
Even the mother-in-law can't tolerate Zhao girl.
"I will be very busy recently and won't have time to accompany you. You have to take care of yourself." Xiao Ce stood there for a long time and raised his lips.
Qin Zhao paused while writing, and she raised her head to look at Xiao Ce, meeting his deep eyes as cold as the autumn moon.
At this moment, she seemed to understand what he meant.
"Your Highness is busy with business. I have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, which will be very fulfilling. Your Highness, don't worry, I can take good care of myself. Your Highness, walk slowly." Qin Zhao said and stood up, making a rule to Xiao Ce.
Proper court etiquette.
Xiao Ce looked at her deeply, turned around and walked away.
Baozhu watched Xiao Ce go away, then looked back at Qin Zhao: "Liangdi, what do you mean, your highness?"
What day is His Highness not busy? But this time His Highness made it clear that because he was busy, he had no time to spend with Liang Di, so was His Highness going to neglect Liang Di?
"That's what I mean. This is a good thing. Your Highness may have figured it out. Staying away from me is for my own good. I have no foundation in the palace and no backing. I have no one to rely on except Your Highness. But Your Highness is busy, and there are always
When I can't take care of it, His Highness is a very nice person, and it is my blessing to meet His Highness." Qin Zhao was finally willing to admit at this moment that even if he had to be Xiao Ce's nameless and statusless woman for the rest of his life, he would stay with him until his death.
, she is also willing to do so.
Baozhu didn't know what to say.
His Highness neglected Liangdi for Liangdi's own good. Liangdi understood it herself, but why did she feel sad?
"If Baoyu asks about this, don't talk too much, just let everything take its course." Qin Zhao saw Baozhu sad and comforted her in turn: "This is a good thing, why should you be sad."
"It's okay for me, slave. As long as Liangdi is well, I'll be happy." Baozhu replied in a low voice.
"You go and do your work. I'll study for another half hour and then go take a bath and go to bed." Qin Zhao said, focusing on business.
Baozhu retreated to the door of the study room, and it took her a while to accept the fact. From tomorrow on, Liang Di will be despised again. Because His Highness will ignore Liang Di, and maybe by neglecting her, Your Highness will forget that Liang Di still exists in the East Palace.
A person like Di.
It's not because His Highness likes the new and hates the old, but because His Highness wants to protect Liang Di.
Qin Zhao herself was in a very calm mood. She only thought about whether it would be the same as in her previous life if she suddenly died in June. In the end, she failed to tell Xiao Ce her last words.
Then should she leave a suicide note to Xiao Ce and tell him that in her previous life, she gave birth to a child for him, and that child eventually became the emperor?
If Xiao Ce saw such a suicide note, he would definitely think that she was going crazy, right?
She just thought about the idea of leaving a suicide note, and quickly stopped it. There was no need to be so pretentious, Xiao Ce would be an emperor in the future, he had so many beauties in his harem, and there were so many things in the world for him to worry about, how could there be so much?
Time wasted on a woman?
Half an hour later, Qin Zhao washed up and went to bed, then fell asleep on the bed.
She dreamed about her child, from the little guy's birth to his subsequent ascension to the throne and her departure.
Although she seldom thought about this child, she couldn't deny that the thing she couldn't let go of the most in her life was her child. Unfortunately, it was impossible to have that child again in this life.
It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets, but in this new life, many things have changed, and some people and things cannot be forced.
From that day on, Wangyue Residence suddenly became deserted.
Qin Zhao sits peacefully in her study every day, spending most of her time there except eating and sleeping. Even if she wants to bask in the sun and exercise, she will not leave Wangyue Residence.
In addition, Wangyue Residence is spacious, and just running around the corridor is enough for her to exercise, and basking in the sun will not be a problem.
Xiao Ce was indeed as he said, too busy to spare time to walk around Wangyue Residence, but she felt that this was Xiao Ce's temperament and he would not stop for any woman.
Wangyue Residence suddenly became deserted, which was beyond everyone's expectation. Soon everyone felt that this was normal.
Qin Zhao, a concubine, suddenly received the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince just felt that wild flowers were more fragrant than domestic flowers, so he put such a woman in his hands and doted on her.
As soon as this fresh energy wore off, Qin Zhao was naturally brought back to his original form.
This is a normal thing, it just happened suddenly.
On the other hand, after Nian Su saved the Crown Prince once, he was taken by His Highness the Prince all day long, following him wherever he went. Even Zhang Jixiang did not spend as much time as Nian Su.
Furthermore, Wu Xiyu no longer seems to be as neglected as before, and she can enter the main hall smoothly every time she returns.
Not only that, His Highness the Crown Prince would also sit in the separate gardens of the East Palace once in a while when he had free time. Although the stay was very short and he did not even invite any beauties to sleep with him, it was still better than the previous situation where the Qin Zhao family only doted on him.
