Before this news reached Qin Zhao's ears, someone reported it to Xiao Ce as soon as possible.

Xiao Ce's face was gloomy, and he ordered in a cold voice: "Quickly investigate this matter, catch the rumor-mongers, cut off the root of the tongue, and set an example!" ”

When Qin Zhao received the news, it was already two days later, and at this time, a grandmother came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, saying that the emperor was invited.

Qin Zhao knew something was wrong.

The emperor suddenly ordered her to see her, but he was afraid that it was not as simple as asking questions. If the emperor wanted to kill her quietly in order to save trouble, so that the rumors would cease with her death, it would also be very likely.

She looked at the vase, the vase understood, and secretly glanced at her, and she knew that the vase would go to the main hall to move Xiao Ce, a rescuer.

She calmly followed Mama to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

There was no one in front of the emperor to serve, and Qin Zhao knew when he saw this that the emperor couldn't ask about the scandals circulating outside the palace in front of his servants.

She greeted the emperor and stepped aside to stand still.

"Is it true that you live under the same roof with Zhao Yu in Changzhou?" The emperor went straight to the point.

"Back to the emperor's words, at that time, the people of Changzhou were displaced, and Lord Zhao was anxious to deal with the disaster, and he was not picky about his residence, so he lived in the house that Lord Wu was looking for temporarily. At that time, it was not only Lord Zhao who lived in that house, but King An was also a resident there, and other female relatives also lived in that house. What's more, Lord Zhao is running around day and night, and the number of times the concubine has met with Lord Zhao is only a handful. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to Changzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly. Qin Zhao replied respectfully.

What she said was also true.

In addition to her, Xiaoyu, and Wu Zhong's family members also live over there, and of course, other servants of the Wu family also live there, not only she and Zhao Yu live alone in that private house.

"Whatever the truth, you have tarnished the royal reputation. There is only one way to stop the world's mouths......"

At this time, Qin Zhao had the courage to interrupt the emperor's words: "It's not a way to shut up the concubine forever." The concubine thought that if the emperor really wanted to do that, it would prove that the rumors were true, and this was the real damage to the royal reputation. Now that someone maliciously smears the royal family, should the rumor-mongers be severely punished to set an example? Otherwise, there will be two if there is one, this time it seems to be a smear of the concubine, but in fact, the person who the other party really wants to harm is His Royal Highness the Prince. It's not a pity that the concubine died, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the prince of Great Qi, and he was maliciously slandered by the villain, and this kind of person must not be kept! ”

The emperor looked at Qin Zhao coldly, and then glanced at the direction of the entrance of the main hall.

When Qin Zhao saw this detail, his heart sank, and he suddenly understood that the emperor was waiting for Xiao Ce.

If Xiao Ce ran to the Heart Cultivation Hall to save her, the emperor would probably really kill her.

is the most unpredictable emperor's heart, the emperor wants to kill her is just a matter of one sentence, and the person who the emperor really tempted this time is actually Xiao Ce.

After Qin Zhao figured out the twists and turns, she knelt down in front of the palace, her expression sad: "Since His Royal Highness brought the concubine back to the East Palace from Changzhou, His Royal Highness has snubbed the concubine. The concubine couldn't understand the reason before, but just now she suddenly understood a truth, it turned out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't believe in the concubine. In this case, in order to bring the concubine back to the palace, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince simply let the concubine fend for herself outside the palace, could it be just to save the royal family's face? ”

As long as the emperor believes that Xiao Ce doesn't value her, the emperor will not take her life, and then he hopes that Xiao Ce is smarter than her, knowing that to save her is to harm her.

When the emperor heard Qin Zhao's last words, his heart moved.

As long as the prince doesn't value the Qin family, it is okay to leave the Qin family alive.

Qin Zhao quickly thought of another character, she thought about it, and said sadly: "The emperor doesn't know that the person who is really happy with Lord Zhao is Wu Liangyuan." Wu Liangyuan has been happy with Lord Zhao for a long time, and the two have reached the point of talking about marriage. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knew about this, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still let Wu Liangyuan enter the East Palace and become a Liangyuan, probably because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves Wu Liangyuan too much......"

"Wu Liangyuan and Zhao Yu are in love?" The emperor could not hide his astonishment.

"Yes, this is a fact that the Zhao family knows, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also an insider. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more infatuated, knowing this, he also let Wu Liangyuan enter the East Palace, and the concubine thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had explained this matter to the emperor, didn't he not? Qin Zhao was actually a little surprised.

At that time, it suddenly came out that the emperor had issued an edict to let Wu Xiyu enter the East Palace as a good di, and she thought that Xiao Ce would tell the emperor about it.

It turned out that Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and accepted the emperor's "gift".

Should Xiao Ce be said to be strange, or should Xiao Ce be said to be foolish?

"You go on, I want to listen to the facts. You must know that bullying is a capital offense! The emperor's eyes darkened.

If what Qin Zhao said was true, then Wu Liangyuan would not be able to stay.

Qin Zhao hurriedly said: "The concubine's body is true, because there are many witnesses in the Zhao Mansion. It is not a secret that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is pleased with Wu Liangyuan in the Zhao Mansion, and if you ask a subordinate casually, you will know that this matter is true. At present, it is no secret that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince favors Wu Liangyuan alone. When Wu Liangyuan entered the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince deliberately raised the concubine as Liangdi, in fact, he wanted to pull the concubine out and block the sword for Wu Liangyuan......"

Anyway, in order to survive, the fake must also be said to be true, and most of what she said is true, and she is not afraid that the emperor will go to the Zhao Mansion to investigate.

After listening to Qin Zhao's words, the emperor was silent for a long time.

When Qin Zhao first entered the palace, his appearance was not good, and he felt strange at that time, why the crown prince was different from Qin Zhao, but at that time he felt harmless, so he didn't delve into it.

If what Qin Zhao said is true, Wu Liangyuan is the real scourge. And Wu Liangyuan is still Wu Guifei's niece, and Wu Guifei is his favorite concubine.

At this moment, the emperor had basically believed Qin Zhao's words.

But Qin Zhao couldn't leave the Heart Cultivation Hall immediately, and Qin Zhao himself knew that the emperor was waiting to see Xiao Ce's reaction.

Qin Zhao had been away from the East Palace for such a long time, it was impossible that no one had reported to Xiao Ce. If Xiao Ce received the news and rushed over to save Qin Zhao, it showed that in Xiao Ce's heart, Qin Zhao had a certain weight.

If Xiao Ce ignores Qin Zhao, then Qin Zhao will be insignificant.

Qin Zhao knelt for nearly an hour before the emperor showed mercy and allowed her to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The moment he walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. His knee hurt, but he managed to avoid a catastrophe.

People say that a companion is like a tiger, but it's not a joke. I don't know if after this time, the emperor will really check the details of Wu Xiyu. If the emperor goes to investigate, he will know the past between Wu Xiyu and Zhao Yu.

Then the rumors outside the palace today will not pose a threat to her.

As for the gossip in the streets, it must have been spread by her enemies. And her enemies in the East Palace are not just one or two, they basically regard her as an enemy.

The suspects are either Wu Xiyu, Wang Zhaoxun, or Li Chenghui, or He Liangdi, and others are also suspected.
