As soon as this news came out, it naturally also spread to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Originally, Empress Dowager Guo was under house arrest in Cihe Palace, although the imperial doctor still went to see her every day, but Empress Dowager Guo was never allowed to leave Cihe Palace.

Now that it is rumored that the Empress Dowager Guo is critically ill, as the only son of the Empress Dowager Guo, Xiao Ceyan has a reason to continue to put the Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest?

If this matter is spread to the public, it will definitely become a topic of conversation among the common people after dinner, and Xiao Ce's reputation will definitely be ruined.

Qin Zhao didn't know if Empress Dowager Guo was really critically ill, but she knew that Xiao Ce could no longer put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest.

It's just that in the face of this murderer who wants to kill her, she can't do anything about it.

After the news of Empress Dowager Guo's critical illness came out, not only did everyone have different opinions, but even the harem had a lot of noisy voices.

Some people are talking behind their backs, and now they are too ruthless, but the biological mother of the saint, the biological mother is critically ill, but she is still trapped in the Cihe Palace, and she can't get out. Great Qi also attaches the most importance to filial piety, but today it is such a school......

Just in Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao heard so many voices, not to mention the entire harem.

In fact, she didn't understand why Xiao Ce didn't let people go for a long time, and she didn't even ask Luo Qing to enter the palace to see Empress Dowager Guo.

Xiao Ce obviously also knew that Luo Qing's medical skills were exquisite. If you look for Luo Qing to take a look, you may know the truth of this matter.

Later, even the court had various voices, and rumors came out that Xiao Ce put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest for Qin Zhao.

The dignified king of a country has put his biological mother under house arrest for a demon concubine, and you can imagine how lethal this kind of words are.

Qin Zhao didn't pay attention to this matter, but when he heard this, he knew that the matter was getting more and more serious.

There may even be a force behind this that is fueling the rumors.

It is also possible that it is the result of the combined force of several forces.

Qin Zhaoshang pleaded with Xiao Ce, but failed to get Xiao Ce to agree to release Nianyun from the Cihe Palace, and Nianyun was desperate to leave the Cihe Palace.

Qin Zhao thought that Nian Yun must have planned this incident, and Nian Yun did have such a plan.

Baozhu tried not to let all kinds of disturbing sounds enter the main hall, but Qin Zhao himself had good hearing, and he knew what he should know.

After a few days, the rumors intensified, and Zhang Jixiang's hurried footsteps sounded outside Jinyang Palace on this day, and Qin Zhao guessed that Zhang Jixiang was coming to find him.

As soon as Zhang Jixiang came in, he knelt down in front of Qin Zhao and kowtowed a few times: "The slave is overstepping, please help the emperor get out of the predicament!" ”

Qin Zhao looked at Zhang Jixiang steadily, and asked for a while before asking, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Although the emperor didn't say anything, the slave knew that the emperor didn't go to visit the queen mother because the queen mother was ruthless to the concubine. Just because, because the emperor didn't want to wronged the concubine. Zhang Jixiang never dared to draw such a conclusion before.

But at this moment, he clearly knew the thoughts of his master.

Qin Zhao was stunned: "You think too much." ”

Xiao Ce doesn't care about anyone, the reason why he put Empress Dowager Guo under house arrest is because Empress Dowager Guo did kill her.

The Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, even if it wasn't her, Xiao Ce would not let go of Empress Dowager Guo easily.

"The slave didn't think much about it......" Zhang Jixiang felt that it was normal for the concubine not to believe it.

However, "I still ask the lady to go and persuade the emperor that the overall situation should be the most important thing at the moment——"

"Why?!" Qin Zhao abruptly interrupted Zhang Jixiang's words.

Zhang Jixiang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand the meaning of Qin Zhao's words for a while.

He looked at the concubine Niangniang, only to see that her eyes were misty, and he said slowly: "If it weren't for the palace to wake up in time that day, the palace would have died in the hands of the Empress Dowager Guo." Since the day the palace entered the palace, the Empress Dowager Guo has not only targeted the palace more than once, and has opposed the palace everywhere, the palace is like a soft persimmon, a person who is bullied and does not fight back? ”

Zhang Jixiang was heartbroken, knowing that the concubine was not wrong.

"It was because Niangniang cared about the emperor and didn't want to embarrass the emperor, so Niangniang exposed her personal grievances again and again, and even saved the Queen Mother. The slave knew that he was soft-spoken, but this incident was different, there were many voices in the market, if it was not suppressed in time, I was afraid that it would cause the people to condemn the emperor, and even cause civil unrest......" Zhang Jixiang lowered his head dejectedly.

Qin Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to say that Zhang Jixiang was thinking too much.

But people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, she has always known that Xiao Yi is not as indisputable as she seems on the surface, and she also knows that Xiao Yi is eyeing the throne.

If the news this time was released by Xiao Yi, it was not due to the dispute between women in the harem, and she also knew that Xiao Yi had pretended to be unconscious for many years, but in fact, what she was waiting for was an opportunity.

The main hall was quiet, and Zhang Jixiang was still kneeling on the ground, but he could already see that the concubine had wavered.

Yes, the concubine has always been a sensible woman, so the emperor treats the concubine differently.

Qin Zhao sat quietly in place, looking at the fine dust floating in the air, and wandered for a long time.

In the end, she still got up, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "This palace will go with you." ”

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly got up and led the way in front.

Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce practicing calligraphy in Sanxi Hall this time.

Many times, Xiao Ce she saw was dealing with government affairs, and he rarely had leisure and leisure, and devoted his energy to such trivial things as practicing calligraphy.

The last time I watched Xiao Ce practice calligraphy, it seemed that it was still in the East Palace period, he thought her handwriting was ugly, so he condescended to her and came to teach her to learn calligraphy in person.

A few years have passed, and if you don't think about it carefully, you will soon lose sight of it.

She stepped forward and saluted Xiao Ce, but Xiao Ce didn't look back at her, and practiced calligraphy by herself.

She stood beside Xiao Ce and looked at it, only to see that the words dragon and phoenix were dancing, vigorous and powerful, and there was even a touch of grace.

A little person like her, who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it before, and only started working hard after entering the palace under Xiao Ce's persecution, of course, is not enough to judge Xiao Ce's handwriting.

But judging from the words he wrote, he wrote decisively and did not seem to have the meaning of hesitation.

In other words, didn't Empress Dowager Guo's serious illness disturb Xiao Ce's mind?

She was distracted, and Xiao Ce suddenly handed her the wolf pen: "Concubine Ai write a few words for me to see." ”

Qin Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The words of the concubine can't see people." ”

For this reason, Xiao Ce did not bury her less before.

Still, she wrote four words: "The big picture is important." ”

She is accustomed to using a small pen of Yanghao, and the wolf pen she uses today, and the words she writes are a little nondescript, and she doesn't even see it herself.

Xiao Ce's gaze was fixed on the words "the overall situation is important", and he turned his eyes to look at her, but he was facing her with a small white swan neck.

He had always known that she was born beautiful, but at this moment, she was standing beside him, with a shallow smile on the corner of her lips, but it also made him look at her twice.
