"The Queen Mother is the emperor's mother. No matter what happens, I don't want the emperor to be in trouble. Anyway, I haven't suffered today. Although Baozhu received a slap, the emperor also rewarded her. Baozhu and I will not suffer any loss."
Qin Zhao knew Xiao Ce's concerns and expressed his feelings.
Queen Mother Guo just took it out on Baozhu because she couldn't do anything with her. Baozhu was because she was implicated.
Fortunately, Xiao Linzi ran fast and found Xiao Ce in time. Otherwise, according to the nature of Queen Mother Guo, there is a high probability that she would not let it go. By then, we still don’t know how the situation would develop.
I wonder if Queen Mother Guo hated her even more after this battle.
Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head and knew that she was sensible and did not want to speak ill of his mother.
Today, he rushed over in time, but Qin Zhao may not have such good luck in the future.
"My mother was not like this before. In my memory, my mother was a good person, even a little cowardly. Once when Mrs. Wu was unhappy, she would take it out on her. I thought my mother had such a cowardly temperament, but who knew..."
Qin Zhao understood everything Xiao Ce didn't finish.
The concubine Shu, whom Xiao Ce thought was a good old lady, suddenly turned into the empress dowager Guo who was fierce and decisive. Isn't Xiao Ce, a son, surprised by such a huge change?
No matter how much the Queen Mother Guo changed, she was still Xiao Ce's biological mother. Although Xiao Ce didn't talk much at ordinary times, he was filial to both the Queen Mother Guo and the late emperor.
She couldn't bear to see Xiao Ce in trouble.
"This harem is a strange place. There are many people who are good, but then gradually become bad. Maybe it's for profit, maybe because they don't want to be bullied anymore, or maybe because..." Some people are good at hiding.
She felt that Queen Mother Guo should belong to the latter group.
The nature of Queen Mother Guo is what she is now, but Queen Mother Guo was good at pretending when she was a concubine, and even deceived the old Jianghu Princess Wu.
Empress Dowager Guo's ability to disguise herself can only be matched by Empress Dowager Wu.
"That's true. I have lived in the palace for these years, and I have seen all kinds of people." Xiao Ce felt that Qin Zhao's words were reasonable.
"Let's forget this matter today. Your Majesty, please be busy. I'll go back and take a nap first." Qin Zhao did not intend to continue this topic.
She knew that Xiao Ce acted decisively, but when facing the Queen Mother Guo, no matter what the Queen Mother Guo did, Xiao Ce could not do anything to the Queen Mother Guo.
It is actually meaningless to discuss what kind of person Queen Mother Guo is.
"Let Jixiang take you back." Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang.
This time Zhang Jixiang won his heart with his work. Xiao Linzi was working as an errand in Jinyang Palace. This time Xiao Linzi was also alert and came to inform him in time.
Qin Zhao did not refuse Xiao Ce's kindness.
After she returned to Jinyang Palace, she immediately took care of the injuries on Baozhu's face.
"My slave, I don't feel any pain anymore, it's true." Bao Zhu saw Qin Zhao's silence and knew that his master felt uncomfortable.
"How can it not hurt? It's been so long and it's still swollen." Qin Zhao put away the ointment and said, "You have to take a day off today. There are many people in Jinyang Palace anyway, so it's okay for you to take a day off. I don't plan to go out either.
Just stay in Jinyang Palace."
Bao Zhu responded cheerfully, otherwise she was afraid that the girl would always remember the fact that she was beaten. When the palm marks on her face disappeared, it would not be too late for her to come back on duty.
Qin Zhao was also very tired. She fell on the couch and wanted to sleep, but Queen Mother Guo's face kept flashing before her eyes.
In her previous life, Queen Mother Guo died young, so she never cared about Queen Mother Guo. Even if Queen Mother Guo hated her again, it would have nothing to do with her, as long as she didn't have anything to do with her.
This time, she officially met Queen Mother Guo, and she felt that Queen Mother Guo was not only strong, but also very ambitious.
A woman who was able to hide her true nature for twenty years looked very healthy. In that case, how did Queen Mother Guo die in her previous life?
Why does she think this is unusual?
"Let me sleep for a while." Qin Zhao thought that maybe she could go back to her previous life and ask Xiao Ce how Empress Dowager Guo died in her previous life.
I wonder if she can go back to her previous life.
Since the last time she returned to her previous life, she has not been able to sleep for more than a month.
As a result, when she woke up, she found that she was in Jinyang Palace and had not gone anywhere.
When Baoyu saw Qin Zhao come up, she looked at her and sighed. She thought she had not served her well, and even thought Qin Zhao wanted the treasure, so she said, "Girl, be patient, I will see the treasure tomorrow."
Although she is not as careful and considerate as Baozhu, the girl's behavior makes her quite sad.
"Why did you bring up the orb for no reason?" Qin Zhao's mind didn't turn around for a moment.
"Don't girls prefer Baozhu's service?" Baoyu was puzzled.
"I like Baozhu, and I also like you. The four treasures are all my caring little cotton-padded jackets." Qin Zhao pinched Baoyu's face.
Baoyu suddenly grinned.
At this time, Xiao Linzi came in to announce that Wu Xirou was here and was waiting outside.
"Did you see that Sister Wu knows how to be a good person? It's obvious that she is the one who fixes the appearance, but she still respects me." Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows lightly.
Baoyu responded in a low voice: "People like this are terrifying."
Qin Zhao gave Baoyu a meaningful look and felt that this girl had made some progress.
After that, Wu Xirou came with a hearty smile: "I came here specially to have a meal, sister won't mind it, right?"
"It's rare for a distinguished guest to come to your door, how can I dislike it?" Qin Zhao said and looked at Baoyu: "You should cook more delicious food at night, and you can't neglect Sister Wu."
"Yes, you can save it, slave." Baoyu responded and went to prepare dinner.
"Baoyu is really capable. He makes excellent dim sum, his cooking skills are extraordinary, and his mouth is very lovable." Wu Xirou looked at Baoyu's back with a tone of sincere envy.
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Yes, our family Baoyu can do everything well. She is really indispensable to me."
Wu Xirou looked around and saw no orbs, then asked: "Why don't you see the orbs today?"
"Don't mention it. She received a slap in Cihe Palace for me today. I asked her to take a rest today, but she doesn't get much rest on weekdays." Qin Zhao said bluntly.
She felt that Wu Xirou's visit this time was not just for a meal. She must also want to know that she was brought into Cihe Palace and that she came to find out what was going on after knowing that she was being embarrassed by the Queen Mother Guo.
People like Wu Xirou would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. They would run wherever there was excitement.
"Is Baozhu okay?" Wu Xirou looked concerned.
Qin Zhao's lips curved slightly: "She also suffered for no reason. The emperor arrived later and gave her a reward. The slap she received was not in vain."
Wu Xirou felt relieved: "That's good. Thank you that the emperor values my sister, but my sister on the Queen Mother's side needs to find a way to make the Queen Mother happy. Otherwise, the next time, the emperor happens to be unable to escape, and my sister will not be able to escape." Such good luck."
Qin Zhao nodded in agreement: "My sister's words seem to make sense."
Wu Xirou thought she had heard it, and immediately laughed: "Sister, just be open-minded. Well, one day I will accompany my sister to Cihe Palace to apologize to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is magnanimous and will definitely forgive my sister..."
