After dinner, Qin Zhao played with Little Atom for a long time. Looking at the smart and handsome little guy, Qin Zhao felt that this was what he deserved.
Even if God favors her, she has seized every opportunity to have everything she has today. She will not be ashamed of anyone, and she has never done anything harmful to God. Why should she feel that she has taken away Wu Xirou's things?
Woolen cloth?
As long as she is living a good life, how can she have time to worry about the lives of others?
After figuring this out, Qin Zhao no longer struggled.
Because he spent a lot of time in Jinyang Palace during the day, Xiao Ce didn't come over that night.
Qin Zhao played with Little Atom for a while, then went to bed early to rest.
Just when she was about to fall asleep, she heard Baohong's exclamation from the kitchenette.
Baoyu heard Baohong's scream and came out to see what happened: "What happened?"
Baohong was still in shock. She patted her chest: "I just saw a black shadow flash past. It scared me to death."
Baoyu frowned when he heard this: "Jinyang Palace does not keep animals, are you wrong?"
"That's right, a black shadow really flashed past." Baohong said hurriedly.
Baoyu stood stunned for a moment and then said: "If there is really a dark shadow flashing by, then you have to be careful. Let's go and find someone to take a look. I'll keep watch here."
Baohong was a little worried: "Are you not afraid of being here alone?"
"Don't be afraid. I'm often alone in the small kitchen. It's no big deal. Jinyang Palace is very safe." Baoyu urged Baohong: "Go back as soon as possible."
Baohong stopped delaying and walked away quickly.
Qin Zhao heard the conversation between Baohong and Baoyu, and asked Xiao Linzi to go to the kitchen: "Go and have a look in the kitchen."
Xiao Linzi thought Qin Zhao wanted to have a midnight snack, so he took the order and went to the small kitchen.
Baoyu didn't expect that Baohong didn't come back, but Xiao Linzi came over: "Did Baohong ask you to come here?"
"My queen asked me to come here, are you okay?" Xiao Linzi sensed that something was wrong.
Baoyu told what happened in the small kitchen just now, and finally said: "Baohong said he saw a black shadow, but I didn't see it. The small kitchen cannot be empty, so I asked Baohong to find someone to come and look for it."
If something unclean really enters Jinyang Palace, even if you have to search all night, you still have to find the dirty things.
"Let me take a look." Xiao Linzi was no longer in a hurry to get the supper, so he simply picked up the palace lantern and looked for it near the small kitchen.
But after searching for a while, he found nothing.
At this time, Baohong also asked two servants to come over to help. When Xiao Linzi saw someone helping him, he returned to Qin Zhao and resumed his life.
He told what happened in the small kitchen, Qin Zhao said quietly: "Let everyone in Jinyang Palace search to see if any small animals ran into Jinyang Palace. If so, find out which palace it escaped from."
Come in."
Xiao Linzi took the order and left.
Soon the lights in Jinyang Palace were brightly lit, and Jinyang Palace now had enough manpower. Except for Baoyuan guarding the entrance of Jinyang Palace and Baozhu waiting in front of Qin Zhao, everyone else was searching carefully.
After searching for about half an hour, they searched all over Jinyang Palace, but did not find any suspicious animals.
Qin Zhao yawned: "If it's okay, everyone can just sleep. It's not a big deal."
After Qin Zhao spoke, everyone dispersed and took a rest early.
When Baozhu served Qin Zhao to sleep, he was still worried: "I think this should not be taken carelessly. Maybe someone really sent dirty things into Jinyang Palace."
"I can't find any problems right now, so I might as well wait and see what happens. It's night, so go to bed." Qin Zhao waved his hand.
Seeing Qin Zhaoan sleeping peacefully, Baozhu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
That night was uneventful, and the next few days were also calm. The incident of Baohong seeing the black shadow was gradually forgotten by others.
Only Qin Zhao remembered this in his heart.
The gate of Jinyang Palace has always been guarded by Bao Yuan. If a small animal really breaks in, Bao Yuan must see it, right?
But the opposite is true.
If the black shadow Baohong saw that night was not Baohong's eyesight, then something had indeed entered Jinyang Palace, or had entered Jinyang Palace.
Moreover, the lights near the small kitchen were not very bright, so Baohong could see clearly, which only meant that the black shadow was not small, otherwise Baohong would not have categorically claimed to have seen the black shadow.
Jinyang Palace was very peaceful for several days, but Qin Zhao's heart was never peaceful.
Sure enough, when she lay down that day, she heard Baohong's exclamation from the kitchen again.
When Bao Zhu saw Qin Zhao sitting up suddenly, he thought something big had happened: "What's wrong with you?"
Only then did Qin Zhao realize that she had lost her composure. She said calmly: "It's okay, I just don't feel sleepy. I want to go out for a walk."
"But His Highness is asleep." Baozhu looked at the little guy sleeping peacefully on the bed.
At this moment, Xiao Atom also opened his eyes. Qin Zhao smiled upon seeing this: "Xiao Atom and I have a good understanding."
In this way, Qin Zhao took Xiao Atom out for a walk on the pretext of being unable to sleep, and then "accidentally" walked near the small kitchen.
When Baoyu saw Qin Zhao suddenly coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk with my little Atom in my arms. Who are you waiting for?" Qin Zhao pretended not to know.
Baoyu then told Baohong about seeing the black shadow: "It may have been a dazzle for the first time, but now that I see it again, I feel that this matter is not trivial, so I have to be cautious."
"Since it is unusual, let everyone in Jinyang Palace take action and search Jinyang Palace carefully. By the way, take a closer look at the location under the wall." Qin Zhao gave an order without hesitation.
Qin Zhao gave an order and everyone started searching in Jinyang Palace.
This time I searched carefully and it took about an hour to come to an end, but the results were not optimistic. Just like last time, nothing was found.
"Forget it if you can't find it. Let's take a rest early." Qin Zhao said and went back to the main hall to rest.
Bao Zhu followed closely behind and asked her, "What do you think of this strange incident? I think there must be something wrong with this."
How is it possible that a black shadow appears twice but nothing can be found?
"Empress, could it be Baohong who lied?!" Baozhu suddenly thought and felt that this possibility was not impossible.
If it was Baohong who lied and caused everyone to panic, it only means that there is something wrong with Baohong.
Qin Zhao pondered for a moment before saying: "Probably not."
She had also thought about this possibility, so she asked Baohong about it beforehand.
Baohong answered very carefully, and reconciled with the details she heard in the main hall. Looking at Baohong's open eyes before, it didn't look like she had done anything wrong.
Recently, she had a pretty good impression of Baohong. Although Baohong talked a lot, she was quite upright in her behavior and didn't have any gimmicks.
To be precise, the eight new people who entered Jinyang Palace had different personality traits, but none of them had any disrespectful thoughts towards her master behind their backs, and they were not ambiguous in their work.
