"I don't dare." Qin Zhao's tone was slightly cold.
She just feels cold. In a place like the deep palace, even family affection is worthless. Where did she get the face in her previous life to want Xiao Ce's love?
Looking back now, she just feels that she is ridiculous.
Xiao Ce wanted to touch Qin Zhao's head to calm her down like before, but in the end he did nothing.
"Gu is such a person. Do you regret saying that you want to live with Gu for the rest of your life?" Xiao Ce's eyes turned cold.
Qin Zhao didn't answer, he just sat on the couch blankly, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking. This was a world he couldn't enter.
After standing there for a moment, Xiao Ce turned around and walked away.
Zhang Jixiang, who was waiting not far away, heard the conversation between Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce. He looked at His Highness's lonely back, then looked back at Qin Zhao, and suddenly wanted to tell Qin Liangdi that His Highness had also been lonely these years.
In the end, he didn't say anything and silently followed Xiao Ce and left Wangyue Residence.
After Xiao Ce's master and servant left, Baozhu and Baoyu came in to wait. They wanted to persuade Liang Di not to get angry with His Highness the Crown Prince, but when they saw that Liang Di looked very sad, they couldn't say anything.
After Xiao Ce left Wangyue Residence, Wangyue Residence suddenly fell silent.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, Xiao Ce never set foot in Wangyue Residence, and Qin Zhao never stepped out of Wangyue Residence.
Not to mention that many people in the East Palace were surprised, even Wu Xiyu was confused.
She knew that Xiao Ce treated Qin Zhao differently, and she also knew that Qin Zhao was very capable. If that was the case, why did the two of them suddenly stop interacting with each other?
Even Xiao Ce would walk around in the backyard of the East Palace, but he never went to Wangyue Residence.
Wu Xiyu couldn't figure out the reason. Even the Queen Mother of Cihe Palace was surprised when she heard the news.
Last time, she deliberately tested Xiao Ce, wanting to know what kind of feelings Xiao Ce had for Qin Zhao. Ever since Qin Zhao copied Buddhist scriptures in Cihe Palace for several days, and saw no reaction from Xiao Ce, she felt that she was overthinking.
Little did we know that Xiao Ce completely ignored Qin Zhao later.
"The old servant inquired that although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was walking around the backyard of the East Palace, he did not find anyone to sleep with him." Grandma Li told the Queen Mother what she had learned.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head and sighed: "Ace will be twenty on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. He has no children so far. This is his dereliction of duty as a prince. In the past, he would ask Qin Liangdi to sleep with him, but now he doesn't even want Qin Liangdi.
, how to give birth to an heir like this?!"
As the prince, Xiao Ce has responsibilities for everything else, but he just doesn't want to favor the beauty of the East Palace. No matter how capable such a prince is, if there is no successor in the Qi Dynasty in the future, then things will be troublesome.
Grandma Li didn't dare to answer the question casually. After all, it was about the blood of the royal family, and it could be big or small.
"Could it be that because the Ai family brought Qin Liangdi to copy Buddhist scriptures, A Ce thought that the Ai family didn't like Qin Liangdi, so they completely ignored Qin Liangdi?" The Queen Mother suddenly thought and felt that this possibility was not impossible.
"This..." Nanny Li was speechless for a moment. His Highness the Crown Prince did not seem to be such a thoughtless person: "The Queen Mother must have thought too much. Maybe there was a quarrel between Qin Liangdi and His Highness the Crown Prince, and the two of them were venting their anger."
"Qin Liangdi dares to get angry with A Ce? The Ai family doesn't believe it. A Ce's temperament scares even the emperor. How can Qin Liangdi, a little girl, have such courage?" The Queen Mother did not believe what Nanny Li said.
Grandma Li felt that this was reasonable: "If this is not the case, I will go find Qin Liangdi and ask her to tell her what's going on? Isn't it the most important thing right now to give birth to an heir?"
Speaking of this, Grandma Li also found it funny.
Before returning to the palace, the Queen Mother just wanted to give Qin Liangdi a show of strength and let Qin Liangdi see her identity clearly. But now that Qin Liangdi was ignored by His Highness, the Queen Mother was worried.
This was probably because it was found out that there was no personal relationship between Qin Liangdi and Zhao Yu, and Qin Liangdi was indeed innocent when she slept with him for the first time.
"Go and bring the person over. The Ai family wants to question him personally." The Queen Mother said solemnly.
In the past, Sister Xi could still be expected to conceive an heir, but after Concubine Wu was thrown into the cold palace, she knew that Ace would not be able to favor Sister Xi again in a short period of time.
Now the only hope rests on Qin Zhao, who has a heavy responsibility.
Inside, looking at the moon, Qin Zhao is spending her days passively. Ever since she and Xiao Ce broke up on bad terms, she can't find the energy to do anything.
She felt that she was being angry that day. She was complaining about the injustice between her original body and Princess Yonghe, so she vented all her anger on Xiao Ce.
In fact, she knew that what she did was a bit unkind, but she couldn't control her temper at the time.
After she calmed down, she couldn't bring herself to go to Xiao Ce to ask for peace, thus creating a cold war situation.
Seeing her master's disheveled appearance again, Bao Zhu couldn't help but sigh: "Liang Di should tidy herself up at least. If His Highness the Crown Prince comes suddenly and sees Liang Di like this, I'm afraid he won't be interested in letting Liang Di sleep with him."
?”
"I'm naturally beautiful and it's hard to give up. Even if I look like this, I still look good." Qin Zhao disagreed and continued to read the script.
When Grandma Li came in, she saw Qin Zhao lying on the couch, with disheveled hair and a haggard face. He was holding a storybook in his hand, and he was reading intently.
These are two completely opposite people from Qin Liangdi who was copying Buddhist scriptures in the Buddhist hall that day.
For a moment, she was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Qin Liangdi to be like this.
Baoyu found that her mistress was still reading the storybook, and really didn't see it. She coughed hard twice and said solemnly: "Liangdi, Grandma Li is here."
When Qin Zhao heard the name of Nanny Li, she thought it sounded familiar. When her eyes moved from the storybook to Nanny Li's face full of surprise, she remembered that this was the famous person next to the Queen Mother.
But she has no fighting spirit now, and it doesn't matter to her that Aunt Li is here, she doesn't care anyway.
"Nanny Li, why did you come to Wangyue Residence?" Qin Zhao was still lying on the couch with a lazy attitude.
Nanny Li felt that Qin Liangdi had an aura of decadence all over her body. After looking her up and down, Fang Dao made it clear: "The Queen Mother invites Liangdi to visit Cihe Palace."
Qin Zhao really wanted to reply to Nanny Li. She has no lethality at all now. Xiao Ce wouldn't care if he went to her. But she is the Queen Mother, how can she not go to see Lafayette?
"Then let's go." Qin Zhao said, throwing the script aside and wanting to leave with Grandma Li.
Grandma Li was extremely surprised, and Baozhu and Baoyu even wailed in their hearts.
Baoyu was still quick-sighted and blocked Qin Zhao's path: "Liangdi is going to see the Queen Mother. She cannot be so lazy."
Baozhu also stepped forward, clasped Qin Zhao's arm, and smiled at Nanny Li: "Please wait a moment, Nanny. Liang Di will change into a new set of clothes and come out soon."
