Chapter 364: Paying Attention to Sleeping with Meritorious Service
Qin Zhao was concentrating on doing the meticulous work. Because she was tired, she turned her eyes and met Xiao Ce's gentle eyebrows: "Why does your highness have time to watch me do such small things today?"
Aren't you usually so busy that your feet never touch the ground?
"I don't have time to accompany you recently, are you bored?" Xiao Ce touched her soft top of the head and asked softly.
Qin Zhao smiled brightly: "No, I am also very busy. Although I am only busy with small things, my days are very fulfilling. Your Highness, don't worry, I will live my life by myself. Your Highness does not need to worry about me, I
I will always be His Highness’s strong support!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she scratched her head again: "I don't seem to have much ability, but I can silently support Your Highness. Your Highness will be my eternal idol!"
"Vomiting?!" Xiao Ce didn't understand what these two words meant, and it sounded a little weird.
"It means that Your Highness is the object of my admiration."
Qin Zhao's words made Xiao Ce look askance, "Really?"
"How can this be false? His Highness seemed to have something on his mind just now. Can you tell me?" Qin Zhao asked curiously.
Xiao Ce didn't want Qin Zhao to know that he had been to the Yangxin Hall just now, so he avoided the important things and said lightly: "I just thought of Concubine Wu and felt that she would not let you go easily, so you should be more careful in everything."
Fortunately today, it was his father who went to him first and explained the situation in time. If his father directly removed Qin Zhao because he was dissatisfied with Qin Zhao, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, although my father doted on Concubine Wu, he did not go so far as to make her mad.
I'm just afraid that there will be a next time...
"I can save it. Your Highness, don't worry. What I cherish most is my little life. You can be careless about other things, but when it comes to life, I don't dare to ignore it." Qin Zhaosurong replied.
Xiao Ce hugged her into his arms, and Qin Zhao also leaned against her quietly.
There must be another reason why Xiao Ce suddenly said this to her just now, right? He has experienced many things, and they have dealt with Concubine Wu before, but this time he specifically explained this matter, which is unusual.
When Xiao Ce left Wangyue Residence, she specifically asked Baoyu to inquire about it, only to find out that Xiao Ce came to see her specifically after coming out of Yangxin Hall.
"Let's go and find Zhang Jixiang." Qin Zhao was curious about what happened in the Yangxin Hall.
Baoyu responded and left.
Zhang Jixiang came soon and asked Qin Zhao: "I wonder what Liangdi has ordered?"
"I heard that the emperor harshly accused His Highness of doting on me. Did the Emperor ask His Highness to send me away at that time?" Qin Zhao deliberately dug a hole in his words.
These were what she said casually. All she knew was that the emperor found Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce came to find her after leaving the Yangxin Hall. This meant that what the emperor said to Xiao Ce was related to her.
The only thing that dissatisfied the emperor was that Xiao Ce favored her alone, so she made such an inquiry.
Zhang Jixiang did not realize that this was a trap set by Qin Zhao. He hurriedly explained: "The emperor did not ask His Highness to send Liang Di out of the palace, and His Highness explained it clearly at the time. His Highness had a hidden health problem. It was His Highness who met Liang Di."
She is blessed, so the emperor will not touch Liangdi."
A smile flashed in Qin Zhao's eyes: "Your Highness actually said that he has a hidden disease?"
"Well, that's what I said to protect Liang Di. For Liang Di, His Highness risked his life." Zhang Jixiang explained hurriedly.
Qin Zhao's smile faded: "I understand. Don't mention this matter to His Highness. Just pretend that I don't know anything. You can go back to the main hall to serve me."
Zhang Jixiang agreed, but it wasn't until he walked out of Wangyue Residence that he realized something was wrong.
Only His Highness and the Emperor were present in the Yangxin Hall, and there were only two people waiting on the side. In this case, how did Qin Liangdi know about the Yangxin Hall?
It was clear just now that Liang Di was trying to trick him, but he only discovered it now.
As soon as Zhang Jixiang left, Qin Zhao sighed: "I owe more and more to His Highness."
In order to protect her, Xiao Ce did not hesitate to slander that he had a hidden illness, and it seemed that the emperor believed it. Xiao Ce mentioned Concubine Wu again before. Does this mean that the emperor would ask Xiao Ce for questioning because Concubine Wu was behind her back?
It has to be said that Concubine Wu's method is very effective. Borrowing the emperor's hands to get rid of her is easy and convenient, and even Xiao Ce can't do anything about it.
However, they met Xiao Ce who didn't play according to common sense. Xiao Ce easily broke Wu Guifei's game by saying that he had a hidden problem.
If Concubine Wu knew the truth, would she still be angry to death?
In Jinyang Palace, Concubine Wu was waiting for the good news that Qin Zhao was kicked out of the palace. Unexpectedly, after waiting for most of the day, the Yangxin Palace was very quiet. She did not hear the news that the prince had quarreled with the emperor, nor that Qin Zhao had been kicked out.
Gossip about the palace.
This is not common sense.
The emperor was obviously persuaded by her yesterday, and he also sent the prince to the Yangxin Hall today. He must have talked about Qin Zhao, right?
Could it be that the emperor was persuaded by the prince's few words?
"Although His Highness the Crown Prince is eloquent, it is related to the fate of the country of Qi, and Qin Liangdi is indeed charming to His Highness the Crown Prince. The Emperor cannot let Qin Liangdi off easily." Aunt Zhong also had the same confusion.
Concubine Wu was silent for a moment and then made a decision: "I will go to Yangxin Hall tonight to test the emperor's tone."
She didn't believe it, and the emperor still allowed Qin Zhao to continue to show off in the East Palace.
What the emperor dislikes the most is that the prince has no children, and the prince is not young. Not only the emperor is anxious, but the queen mother is also anxious. Even the ministers of the court have repeatedly complained about this matter and want to send their daughter to the East Palace to be the prince.
Concubine, it is best to give birth to a son and a half daughters for the prince.
In the evening, Concubine Wu went to the Yangxin Hall again.
After all the talk, the emperor fell asleep. At this time, he heard Concubine Wu mentioning Qin Zhao: "Yes, how does the emperor plan to deal with the Qin family?"
The emperor opened his eyes and glanced at Concubine Wu, "Although the Qin family has some faults, she has done a good job in sleeping with her. This matter cannot be discussed further."
Concubine Wu's mood was extremely complicated: "But the Qin family monopolizes the prince, leaving the prince no time to walk around in the backyard of the East Palace. If we don't send the Qin family out of the palace, there will only be chaos in the future!"
Of course, the emperor could not mention the prince's hidden illness to Concubine Wu. He said lightly: "The Qin family does not have such ability yet. The prince behaves prudently, and I believe that the prince is serious. You don't need to worry about this matter. For now, go to sleep."
"
He didn't want to say more. Although Concubine Wu was puzzled, she couldn't ask further questions.
She just felt that the emperor's dull reaction was suspicious, but she didn't know what the prince said to the emperor, which made the emperor change his decision in an instant.
How on earth did the prince do it?!
Because the emperor did not want to discuss this matter, Concubine Wu had no choice but to hold back no matter how many questions she had in her mind.
When she returned to Jinyang Palace the next day, Concubine Wu's chest was blocked and she couldn't move up or down.
"Mom, don't be anxious. The emperor didn't take action against Qin Liangdi this time. The worst he can do is add fuel to the fire next time. It's because His Highness the Crown Prince protected Qin Liangdi many times that the emperor hesitated." Seeing that Concubine Wu was unhappy, Grandma Zhong comforted her softly.
