Qin Zhao was very sleepy but had no appetite. When she raised her head, she found that many people were secretly looking at her.
Originally she was the most conspicuous among them all, but now she is sitting with such big figures as the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Crown Prince, and how can she not arouse everyone's jealousy?
But, she was very calm at the moment. The jealousy of these people could not change the fact that she was valued by the Queen Mother at the moment. Even if Concubine Shu didn't like her, she could not question the Queen Mother's decision.
"As long as the dishes brought by His Highness are delicious." Qin Zhao said with a bright smile: "Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, and Your Highness should take good care of the Queen Mother."
Xiao Ce felt that what she said made sense, so he carefully distributed food to the Queen Mother.
The atmosphere at the emperor's table was a little strange at first because of Qin Zhao's participation. After everyone got used to Qin Zhao, everyone quickly returned to normal.
Only Concubine Shu didn't know the taste of her food. Every bite she took was like chewing wax.
A little Liangdi actually sat on the royal banquet. She had been looking forward to it for so many years to have a place in the royal banquet on such a big day. I have to say that Qin Zhao's life was really good.
There are very few people like Qin Zhao who are favored by A Ce in the front and protected by the Queen Mother in the back.
If she had Qin Zhao's fortune, I'm afraid she wouldn't be just a concubine, maybe the position of queen would already belong to her.
Qin Zhao also has a bad appetite.
She was simply extremely sleepy and just wanted to find a place to rest.
Fortunately, after the banquet was over, she could go back to Wangyue Residence to sleep for a while.
After that, everyone was still chatting with the Queen Mother. Qin Zhao saw the Queen Mother holding the moon among the stars from a distance, and originally wanted to tell the Queen Mother that she would go back to Wangyue Residence to rest for a while.
But seeing this situation, she ordered someone to find Nanny Li and talk to Nanny Li.
Aunt Li knew that the Queen Mother did not want to think about the Longevity Festival, but on such a big day, entertainment was indispensable. The Queen Mother might prefer Qin Liangdi to accompany her and talk more, but under the current circumstances, the Queen Mother would not be able to do so for a while.
Find a way to relax.
This time Qin Zhao left Cihe Palace and went straight to Wangyue Residence.
Xiao Ce was still helping with social activities at Cihe Palace. She was an insignificant person, and no one cared whether she stayed or left.
As soon as Qin Zhao returned to Wangyue Residence, he ran into the bedroom.
She was so sleepy this time that she fell asleep when she touched the pillow, and this time she returned to her previous life as she wished.
She appeared in Jinyang Palace, the palace where she lived, and her cry of pain came from inside. Only at this moment did she realize that she had arrived at the day when she gave birth in her previous life.
It's strange that she actually came through at this critical moment.
Xiao Ce was waiting at the door of the delivery room, pacing back and forth. Perhaps he sensed something. He suddenly looked in her direction, and then strode over.
Qin Zhao subconsciously headed towards the study. She just wanted to know when and why the Queen Mother died in her previous life, and Xiao Ce knew the answer.
When Xiao Ce actually followed, she suddenly remembered something. In her previous life, she learned after giving birth that Xiao Ce had left when she was giving birth and did not wait for her to give birth to the child. She was very disappointed at that time.
I was sad and sad about this for many days.
Could it be that the culprit is herself?
Thinking of this possibility, she suddenly felt unsure whether she should come back or not.
But now that she's here this time, she must get Xiao Ce's answer.
"You're finally here." Xiao Ce said this as soon as he entered the study.
Qin Zhao quickly wrote down the same question as last time: "How did the Empress Dowager die? This matter is very important. I can't stay too long, you have to tell me the answer, because I am not sure about my next step."
Can I come back again?"
After she finished writing, she threw the note in front of Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce remained silent after reading it, as if he was thinking about something.
Qin Zhao secretly thought, what is this?
"Or you can tell me which year and month the Queen Mother died, and the reason for her death." Qin Zhao told herself not to rush, this time no matter what, she had to know the reason for the Queen Mother's death before she could leave.
"First tell me who you are and why you have repeatedly asked about the cause of death of the Queen's grandmother. If you don't reveal your identity, I will not tell you the cause of the Queen's grandmother's death. This is an equal exchange." Xiao Ce finally spoke,
But what he said was not pleasant to the ears.
Qin Zhao couldn't hold it back for a moment and spit on Xiao Ce's face.
Xiao Ce was slapped. He touched his face and couldn't believe there could be such a dirty girl... ghost...
Of course, he couldn't hear Qin Zhao swearing a bunch of nasty words.
Qin Zhao scolded her and told herself not to get too excited. She was too excited last time and woke up over there.
This time she couldn't ask the Queen Mother about the cause of her death, so she pestered Xiao Ce to death.
"I just want to know who you are. If you tell me your identity, I will tell you the cause of the death of the imperial grandmother. This is fair, isn't it?" Xiao Ce said again in a soft voice.
Qin Zhao felt that there was nothing wrong with Xiao Ce's words.
She also knows Xiao Ce's temperament. He has always been unwilling to suffer losses, and as an emperor, he is self-centered. He probably thinks that a species like her is a bit strange, so he wants to get to the bottom of it.
Since Xiao Ce wanted to know her identity, she told Xiao Ce: "Since you want to know, I will tell you my identity. To be honest, I am Luoxia, the valet of the former crown princess. I wonder if the emperor still remembers it.
.The former crown princess I’m talking about is Wu Xiyu.”
Because Wu Xiyu later left with Zhao Yu, Luoxia naturally moved away from the palace, so it is impossible to verify whether she is dead or alive.
It seemed that because of the sudden mention of Wu Xiyu, the air suddenly became quiet.
Qin Zhao carefully observed Xiao Ce's expression and found that she could not see any emotional changes. At this time, she had to sigh that Xiao Ce's psychological quality was too strong.
Such people are born to do great things.
"Are you Luoxia?" Xiao Ce made it clear that he didn't believe Qin Zhao's answer.
Qin Zhao wrote: "Yes, once when I was being punished by the Crown Princess, the Queen Mother happened to come to the East Palace and saw this scene, so she kindly exempted me from the punishment. I am grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness and thought that if I have the opportunity, I would like to
I want to eliminate the evil obstacles for the Queen Mother, so I especially want to know the cause of the Queen Mother’s death.”
After Xiao Ce read what Qin Zhao wrote, a flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes: "The Queen Mother?"
"At that time, the Queen Mother was still the Queen Mother, and the Emperor was still His Highness the Crown Prince. I used to call the Queen Mother the Queen Mother." Qin Zhao wrote as if he was genuine.
Since it is a lie, of course it is more convincing if half the truth is mixed with falsehood.
Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently: "What can you do even if you know the cause of the emperor's grandmother's death? Furthermore, you said you can't stay here for too long, so where are you when you are not here?"
Qin Zhao had known for a long time that Xiao Ce was not easy to dismiss, but it made her very unhappy to ask Xiao Ce like this.
