Zhang Jixiang did not dare to stay in Jinyang Palace anymore, so he went back to Yangxin Palace to resume his life.
He told what happened when he met Qin Zhao, and finally added: "I didn't notice anything strange. Miss Qin is the same as before. She looks normal. It's probably Xiao Linzi who is overthinking."
Xiao Ce didn't say anything.
Zhang Jixiang couldn't figure out what his master was thinking for a while. But the emperor sent him to Jinyang Palace to inquire about the situation, which showed that he was still concerned about the news about Jinyang Palace.
Thinking of this, he said: "Let Xiao Linzi keep a closer eye on it from now on. If there is anything strange in Jinyang Palace, the emperor will know it immediately."
Since the emperor still cares about Miss Qin, he must keep an eye on what is going on in Jinyang Palace, lest something really happens, and Xiao Linzi won't be able to bear it.
Xiao Ce glanced at Zhang Jixiang and said neither yes nor no. Zhang Jixiang felt that his master had tacitly approved of his actions.
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao dismissed Zhang Jixiang and called Xiao Linzi to him for questioning.
Qin Zhao didn't say anything at first, but Xiao Linzi felt uneasy when he saw this.
He knew that the master came to Jinyang Palace. How could a person like the girl not guess what he said in Yiyangxin Palace?
The girl called him over but didn't say anything. She was obviously putting pressure on him to tell him the truth, right?
Thinking of this possibility, he knelt down automatically: "I didn't mean to cause trouble. Because I was worried about the girl, I said a few words to the master. The emperor happened to be here, so, just..."
Qin Zhao finally looked at Xiao Linzi and said calmly: "I thought you were from my Jinyang Palace. It seems that your heart is still towards Zhang Jixiang and you do not regard me as your master."
What she said is true.
Xiao Linzi could also help in the past, but when it came to choosing between Yangxin Palace and Jinyang Palace, Xiao Linzi was obviously heading towards Yangxin Palace.
Xiao Linzi quickly defended: "Of course not. Both the emperor and the girl are slaves' masters. I only hope that the girl will be well, and I have never thought of betraying my master..."
"Xiao Linzi, if you were to choose between Yangxin Palace and Jinyang Palace, who would you choose?" Qin Zhao interrupted Xiao Linzi.
Xiao Linzi was speechless for a moment, and it took him a long time to say: "Master is my benefactor, and I don't want to hide anything from him."
He came to Jinyang Palace because of his master's order.
Qin Zhao heard another meaning in Xiao Linzi's words.
If he really had to choose, Xiao Linzi would still choose the Yangxin Palace.
"That's all, go back to the Yangxin Palace." Qin Zhao quickly made a decision.
Although Jinyang Palace was short of manpower, she didn't want to keep a servant by her side who didn't regard her as her master.
There's no telling what the future holds. If she can't trust the chamberlain around her, then she might as well not keep him.
Xiao Linzi's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Qin Zhao to drive him away. He thought that no matter what, he was sent here by his master, and even if he didn't look at the monk's face, he should still look at the Buddha's face.
Little did he know that he had gone astray.
He quickly climbed up to Qin Zhao and said, "This slave was sent here by the master. I can't leave."
"That's a matter between you and Zhang Jixiang, and it has nothing to do with me. Zhang Jixiang sent you here, and I trusted him, so I kept you. But now I don't trust you anymore, so there's no need to keep you anymore." Qin Zhao
Then he said to Baozhu: "Baozhu, go and send Xiao Linzi off. By the way, he has made a lot of contributions during this period, and he deserves no less compensation."
"Yes, girl." Baozhu said and went to get some.
After that, Baozhu took a bag of gold leaves and handed them to Xiao Linzi.
Xiao Linzi did not dare to accept her, but he also knew that Miss Qin had made up her mind and he could no longer stay in Jinyang Palace.
It's just that he still can't figure out why the girl can't tolerate him. It's obvious that he has no intention of betraying the girl, but the master and the emperor are also people he trusts.
"Baozhu, I have no intention of betraying the girl. I just..." Xiao Linzi felt uncomfortable and didn't know what to say.
"The girl's thoughts are actually very simple. What she wants is someone who is devoted to the Jinyang Palace, and you are also committed to the Yangxin Palace. As the saying goes, a slave will not serve two masters. This should be the girl's concern." Baozhu replied.
What's more, the current emperor and the girl have no contact with each other. Although it can't be called hostility, it's not that good either.
Xiao Linzi became anxious when he heard this: "I'm also worried that the girl has something to hide from the emperor, and I'm even more worried that if the girl makes any mistakes, then the emperor will blame her, and no one can afford it."
He really didn't have bad intentions, but he never thought that the girl would drive him away because of this.
"The matter has come to this, there is no point in saying this. Since the girl asked you to leave, you will not be able to come back unless the girl changes her mind one day. You should go back to the Yangxin Palace to serve you." Baozhu sighed softly.
She felt that Xiao Linzi had nothing wrong with him except that he liked to go to the Yangxin Hall. But now was a critical period, so the girl chased Xiao Linzi away, probably because she was afraid that if Xiao Linzi happened again, the news of the girl's pregnancy would spread to everyone in the harem.
The girl attaches great importance to the baby in her belly and does not allow any accidents to happen. It is a good thing that Xiao Linzi temporarily leaves Jinyang Palace.
"There are few people in Jinyang Palace. There is not enough people to begin with. I left and one person is missing to take care of me. You should be more careful in case someone sneaks into Jinyang Palace..." Xiao Linzi rambled on.
Baozhu responded one by one, and did not return to Jinyang Palace until Xiao Linzi was sent back to Yangxin Palace.
Zhang Jixiang did not expect that Xiao Linzi would be sent back to the Yangxin Hall. He pointed at Xiao Linzi's forehead and cursed him. When Zhang Jixiang finished scolding, Xiao Linzi asked with a sad face: "Master, did I do something wrong this time?"
Zhang Jixiang couldn't answer for a while.
In his opinion, Xiao Linzi did nothing wrong. Originally, Xiao Linzi entered Jinyang Palace in the hope that Xiao Linzi could take good care of Miss Qin. If Miss Qin acted strangely, Xiao Linzi would of course tell the Yangxin Palace immediately.
But in Miss Qin's eyes, this was definitely not allowed, so Miss Qin sent Xiao Linzi back to the Yangxin Hall.
So there was nothing wrong with Miss Qin sending Xiao Linzi back.
"When Miss Qin's anger subsides, you can go back and stay in Yangxin Hall for now." Zhang Jixiang didn't know how to comfort Xiao Linzi, so he could only say this.
Xiao Linzi felt that the master's words were like a treasure. He had already regarded himself as a member of Jinyang Palace. If he had known this, he would not have sent the news to Yangxin Palace.
The treasure in the carriage returned to Qin Zhao to serve him. She asked curiously: "Did the girl really send Xiao Linzi away?"
She felt that Xiao Linzi was quite capable of doing things, and it would be a pity to send him away.
"Xiao Linzi has always felt that he can have both sides of the fence between the Yangxin Palace and the Jinyang Palace, but he can only have one master. This time it is time for him to make a choice, and he should also wake up, which can be considered a blow." Qin
Zhao opened his lips calmly.
It remains to be seen whether Xiao Linzi will be brought back.
If Xiao Linzi doesn't recognize his identity this time, then she won't take it no matter how good Xiao Linzi is.
