Chapter 993: Go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns
Qin Zhao knew the truth of accepting it when she saw it, so she took the opportunity to answer: "If the emperor really likes it, then the concubine will make a new one for the emperor in the coming year." ”
Xiao Ce's heart moved slightly, "Are you serious? ”
"What year does the concubine not prepare a birthday gift for the emperor? Little Atom's birthday gift, the emperor should be very happy to receive it, right? Speaking of his masterpiece, Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows proudly.
Xiao Ce was speechless for a while.
But there is truth to that. Even if she was estranged from him because of pregnancy that year, she prepared a gift for him, and Xiao Atom was the best birthday gift that year.
"Yes, you gave me all the best, and I should be content." Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao into his arms and asked about the matter: "Don't you want to take over the affairs of the harem?" ”
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment, and got out of Xiao Ce's arms: "The concubine thinks that in addition to the concubine, this harem can't find a second more suitable candidate, who let the concubine be in the position of a concubine, and she is smart and capable?" It's the first time I tried my skills today, but I was calculated, and the person behind the ghost has not been found out, which makes the concubine unhappy. Who does the emperor think will be the ghost? ”
"Without evidence, conclusions cannot be easily made." Xiao Ce responded.
"Is it possible that Concubine Wu is very likely?" Qin Zhao suddenly asked.
"Again, you can't lock the object until you have evidence." Xiao Ce was conservative.
"They are all people who have been in the harem for many years, and before they do anything, they have already thought about destroying all the evidence that may be left. Evidence evidence, where to find evidence? Perhaps who is behind this incident will always be a mystery. Qin Zhao sighed lightly.
Maybe the mastermind of this incident is Concubine Wu, after all, Concubine Wu has a motive. In order to help Wu Xirou pave the way, Concubine Wu did such a thing.
Xiao Ce was silent for a long time before he said, "The harem is such a place. ”
There will always be frames, there will always be mysteries that cannot be solved, some secrets will be taken to the grave by some people, and some secrets will be painful for everyone as soon as they are revealed.
"The emperor has lived in such a place for more than 20 years." Qin Zhao was quite touched.
But she felt that a strong man like Xiao Ce didn't need anyone's sympathy, and although the place was dark, Xiao Ce had ascended to the throne of the emperor.
"I sometimes wonder if some of the mother's actions are because of me." Xiao Ce muttered silently.
Qin Zhao didn't know how to answer this.
Xiao Ce wants to say that the reason why he was able to ascend the throne was because of Empress Dowager Guo's plot behind her back? But Xiao Ce is obviously capable, he is suitable for the world.
"Your Majesty, don't always put gold on your face. People's desires and ambitions are endless, and what the Queen Mother does is just human nature, what does it have to do with the emperor? If the Queen Mother said that everything she did was for the good of the emperor, and the emperor believed it, it would be ridiculous. Qin Zhao said.
She didn't like to discuss Empress Dowager Guo with Xiao Ce before, because Empress Dowager Guo was Xiao Ce's biological mother, and she didn't want to see Xiao Ce's embarrassment.
But if the evil done by Empress Dowager Guo was all for Xiao Ce, she would never believe such a ridiculous conclusion.
Xiao Ce looked sideways when he heard this.
Speaking of this, Qin Zhao simply said bluntly: "Although the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, the concubine still has to tell the truth. The Queen Mother is selfish, and what she loves most is not the emperor, nor the emperor, but herself. ”
Xiao Ce had never seen Qin Zhao comment on Empress Dowager Guo so bluntly in front of him, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"So the emperor should not always think that what the Queen Mother did was for the emperor, in the eyes of the concubines, everything the Queen Mother did was just for herself." Qin Zhao said, hugged the little atom and went to the study, leaving space for Xiao Ce to be alone, so that he could think about this matter by himself.
Xiao Ce watched Qin Zhao go away and didn't follow.
In the past, Qin Zhao rarely mentioned the Queen Mother in front of her, but he knew that there was no harmony between the Queen Mother and Qin Zhao, but every time, Lord Qin Zhao did not care about the Queen Mother in general.
He knew that according to Qin Zhao's temperament, he would never tolerate it like this, but it was because of him that she endured it again and again.
As for the Queen Mother, he is her son, and he has seen her most cruel and ruthless appearance, so he naturally knows what kind of person the Queen Mother is......
Qin Zhao read the military book to the child in the study, and soon Xiao Ce came, took the child and said, "You go and rest for a while, and I will take you out of the palace in the evening." ”
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Really? ”
"I am an emperor, and I am not a lie. Today is the Lantern Festival, and you can enjoy the lanterns at night. Xiao Ce said and pulled up Qin Zhao: "It's also a shame that you have been bored in the palace for a long time and have never shouted to go out of the palace to play." ”
Qin Zhao grinned: "Time flies quickly with children, and the day is over in a swish." ”
You can go out of the palace to play, of course Qin Zhao is excited.
She slept with the child for an hour before she got up, and it was nearly dusk.
Xiao Ce saw that she was awake, so he took the child and took her to the center of the field where the carriage was stopped.
When they got into the carriage, Qin Zhao expressed his worries: "The concubines are afraid that it will not be safe outside the palace. If the third prince also enters Beijing, I am afraid that he will be unfavorable to the emperor. ”
The palace is heavily guarded, so there is no hidden worry in this regard.
Xiao Ce touched her head: "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”
Hearing him say this, Qin Zhao knew that he had already made preparations. In that case, what did she have to worry about?
However, they still have children with them......
Seeing Qin Zhao looking at Xiao Atom and frowning, Xiao Ce said: "I said, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, I can't risk your mother and son." ”
Qin Zhao thought of Concubine Wu.
Xiao Ce didn't know about Concubine Wu's murder of Xiao Atom, and she had no evidence, she couldn't say that it was because she intuitively knew that Concubine Wu wanted to harm Xiao Atom, right?
She used to suspect that Concubine Wu was colluding with Seth, and she still has such suspicions. If Concubine Wu is in collusion with Seth and wants to use Seth's hand to remove the small atom, what can it be?
"You weren't so brave before." Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao deeply.
Qin Zhao was also relieved at this moment. She is indeed not a cowardly person, if Concubine Wu dares to unite with Seth to harm the little atom, she will definitely tear apart Concubine Wu and Seth with her own hands.
"Didn't you say out of the palace? Hurry up. Qin Zhao smiled.
Xiao Ce saw that she had figured it out, and his eyes showed appreciation: "This is the Qin Zhao I know." ”
She was daring, resourceful, and eclectic, and she was the most special woman he had ever met.
"In the eyes of the emperor, what are concubines like?" Qin Zhao couldn't help but be a little curious.
Of course, she knew that Xiao Ce treated her very specially, stood by her side when something happened, and gave her enough respect, but she didn't know what kind of existence she was in Xiao Ce's heart.
"Too much talk, lazy ......"
