Soon after, news came from Yuankang Palace that Concubine Rong had died.

When they heard the news, everyone in the harem was surprised.

Everyone doesn't have a deep impression of Concubine Rong, but they only know that Concubine Rong is low-key and stays at home on weekdays, but they don't want to suddenly hear the news of Concubine Rong, and there is no Concubine Rong in this harem.

At first, everyone thought that Concubine Rong was killed, but later the investigation results came out, saying that Concubine Rong was self-defeating.

The rest of the harem thought it was incredible, but Qin Zhao felt that it was reasonable for Concubine Rong to kill herself.

Concubine Rong is to protect King Lu, and the second is to protect Princess Yongning. Before Concubine Rong died, she wanted to frame her, so she deliberately brought Xiao Ce over, and I have to say that Concubine Rong is indeed high.

Fortunately, she has good hearing and quick reactions, erasing the evidence on the pillar in the shortest possible time, otherwise the entire harem would have been rumored to have killed Concubine Rong.

It's just that Xiao Ce is not easy to bluff there, how can she explain this matter to Xiao Ce? Also, does she want to tell the truth?

Qin Zhao was still calculating here, and it was rumored in the harem that she entered Yuankang Palace one step ahead of Xiao Ce, and someone poured dirty water on her, saying that she killed Concubine Rong.

After hearing this rumor, Qin Zhao quickly found out the guards, palace maids, and chamberlains who had seen her in the morning, and these people were all witnesses of her time.

She just entered the Yuankang Palace one step ahead of Xiao Ce, and it was impossible to kill Concubine Rong's master and servant in such a short time.

Because there are strong witnesses to time, this rumor is naturally self-defeating.

When Xiao Ce came over in the evening, Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce was not so easy to bluff, after all, there were so many capable people around Xiao Ce, and he must be able to see that the pillar was knocked down by an external force.

But she also made a decision, and she should tell Xiao Ce the truth about this matter.

She can lie to anyone, but the only person who doesn't want to deceive is Xiao Ce.

After Xiao Ce took his seat, Qin Zhao personally brought a glass of boiled water to him: "The concubine has to be honest with the emperor. ”

Xiao Ce looked at the boiled water with doubts in his eyes.

Qin Zhao explained his confusion: "I will be excited to drink tea at night, so it's better to drink boiled water." The emperor has been busy all day during the day, and he has to rest well at night. ”

Xiao Ce took her hand and pulled her to sit down: "What do you want to be honest?" ”

"The emperor should already know, right? Pillars can be man-made. The concubine went to Yuankang Palace this morning because she had seen Concubine Rong yesterday. Concubine Rong asked the concubine to meet her this morning, and when the concubine rushed to Yuankang Palace, Concubine Rong had already died, but the name of the concubine was engraved in blood on the pillar. The concubine didn't know why Concubine Rong would engrave the name of the concubine in blood, but it was not a good thing after all. The concubine made a quick decision and let the jewel knock down the pillar with external force, erasing the concubine's name. Even if the concubine doesn't care about her reputation, she has to think about Xiao Atom and the emperor, and the concubine doesn't want to drag down your father and son. Qin Zhao finished his words in one breath.

After listening to this, Xiao Ce praised Qin Zhao: "Your girl's emergency response ability is not bad, you know how to protect yourself." ”

Qin Zhao was a little stunned: "Doesn't the emperor think it's bad for me to do this?" ”

"What's so bad? Concubine Rong still wants to frame you before she dies, if you don't know how to protect yourself, then you are stupid. But I know that Zhao Zhao is a woman who knows what to expect. Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao tenderly.

He thought that it was okay for Concubine Rong to die, but before Concubine Rong came, he still wanted to harm Qin Zhao, so he couldn't bear it.

Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "The concubine was still worried that the emperor would not like to know the truth, so she hesitated and struggled all day." ”

So she was worried in vain.

Xiao Ce smiled: "As long as you know, you are happy and healthy, which is the most satisfying thing for me." If someone harms you again in the future, you have to protect yourself as soon as possible, which is the most important thing, and the others are secondary. ”

"Great!" Qin Zhao looked Xiao Ce up and down: "The emperor's mood today looks like you're a lot better." ”

It may be because Concubine Rong took those unknown secrets of the previous dynasty into the grave, Xiao Ce breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that even if Concubine Rong didn't choose the way to end herself, people like Xiao Ce would definitely not be able to tolerate Concubine Rong to continue to breathe in this harem.

Only when Concubine Rong dies can those harem secrets that can't see the light be buried in the dust, and no one will remember them.

"When you went to see Concubine Rong, did Concubine Rong say anything?" Xiao Ce led to another topic.

Qin Zhao said in his heart that Xiao Ce, the emperor's suspicion, is still quite serious, and this matter cannot be told the truth, otherwise Xiao Ce will always remember that she knows the secrets of the previous dynasty.

Concubine Rong said some specious things, but she didn't say them completely, and she didn't say anything after arousing the curiosity of the concubines. Then let the concubine go to Yuankang Palace again this morning, I have to say that Concubine Rong is a scheming person. I just don't know when the concubine offended Concubine Rong, she couldn't tolerate the concubine, and she wanted to use this method to harm the concubine. Qin Zhao sighed lightly: "The concubine still can't understand how Concubine Rong poisoned the Queen Mother, I thought I could know the truth of this matter from Concubine Rong's mouth, but now it's okay, Concubine Rong is dead, and the secrets she knows have been brought into the dust." ”

The little doubt left in Xiao Ce's heart dissipated without a trace.

After all, those things in the previous dynasty were disgraceful, and the less people knew about it, the better.

He also killed Concubine Rong, but before he could do it, Concubine Rong had already chosen to kill herself, but she also saved trouble.

The next day, not long after Xiao Ce went to the court, a guest came to Jinyang Palace, who was the eldest princess of Yongning.

When the eldest princess of Yongning appeared, Qin Zhao hadn't woken up yet.

After a full hour, Qin Zhao went to the main hall to meet the guests.

"Why don't you go out for a walk with the palace?" The tone of the eldest princess of Yongning's command.

Qin Zhao happened to be a bad-tempered person, she sat steadily, and there was no sign of getting up.

The eldest princess of Yongning's face sank when she saw this, and it took a while for her to say: "This palace has something to say to the concubine, and the concubine might as well go out for a walk with the palace." ”

Qin Zhao still sat in his original position and did not move.

The eldest princess of Yongning sank her face, but she was helpless: "How can the concubine be willing to go out with this palace?" ”

"The eldest princess has something to say, but this palace doesn't have to listen. If the eldest princess can add the word 'please' in front, it will be more polite. Qin Zhao smiled lightly and hooked his lips.

The eldest princess of Yongning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't go up or down, but she was helpless: "Please go out with the palace." ”

Qin Zhao heard that her heart was reluctant, and he couldn't help but feel ridiculous.

Since you don't want to see her, why do you want to appear in Jinyang Palace? Since I wanted to talk to her, it was this arrogant attitude.

The eldest princess of Yongning is becoming more and more displeased with her.
