"Don't worry, the palace believes that the emperor will return safely." Qin Zhao's tone was categorical.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised when he heard Qin Zhao's words: "Is Niangniang so sure?" ”

Don't need to be prepared for both?

Looking at Qin Zhao's appearance, he seemed to be confident.

"The palace is sure that the emperor will return to the palace soon!!" Qin Zhao said word by word.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu's heart also settled: "Since Niangniang has such confidence in the emperor, then wait for the emperor to return to the palace." ”

He said he was about to retire.

After walking a few steps away, he turned back and said, "Niangniang still has to be careful of His Royal Highness King An." His Royal Highness King An acted radically and had to be guarded against. ”

"Bengong knows it, Lord Zhao walks slowly." Qin Zhao responded.

Zhao Yu didn't say anything more, and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Qin Zhao hadn't come to the Heart Cultivation Hall for several days, and after sending Zhao Yu away, she simply stayed in Xinuan Pavilion, leaning on the recliner and reading the script.

Thinking that this compartment was specially rebuilt for her at the beginning, she felt that Xiao Ce's move was a bit ridiculous at the time, but now that she thinks back on the past, she feels very sweet.

Since Xiao Ce left the palace, she has been relying on the previous details to pass the time every day.

Of course, her painting skills have also improved a lot recently, and this so-called good is only used in painting Xiao Ce's portraits.

Remembering that she hadn't painted Xiao Ce from yesterday to today, she became interested, prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the autumn water, and began to paint Xiao Ce.

Now she doesn't need references, she can quickly sketch Xiao Ce's facial features and posture, and she is sophisticated in her writing, and in a short time, a complete portrait of a person jumps onto the page.

She stared at the man on the painting for a long time, and whispered silently, "When will you come back?" ”

Her voice was soft, and no one heard her sigh of longing.

In the evening, Qin Zhao still returned to Kunning Palace.

It's not that the Heart Cultivation Palace is bad, but she feels that the Heart Cultivation Palace without Xiao Ce is too solemn and empty, and she still likes to stay in the Kunning Palace, which is full of fireworks in the world.

On this day, she went to bed early and fell asleep, and seemed to think of Xiao Ce again before going to bed......

At the same time, the temple of nourishing the heart.

Xiao Ce went back to the palace without telling everyone, he actually returned to the palace as a Praetorian Guard after nightfall, just because he didn't want to expose the fact that he had returned to the palace, so he covered up his whereabouts.

He knew that Qin Zhao had been to Xinuan Pavilion to see Zhao Yu during the day, and after entering the Heart Cultivation Palace, he went to Xinuan Pavilion as soon as possible.

He himself didn't expect that he would be greeted by a portrait of him.

Just at a glance, he could see that this painting was from Qin Zhao's handwriting.

He knew that Qin Zhao had no talent for painting, but as soon as he saw this portrait, he was very sure that it was painted by Qin Zhao.

She doesn't have particularly good painting skills, but she has a strong ability to empathize, so that whether it is her piano sound or the portraits she makes, it is always easy for people to find resonance.

"This is a portrait of the Queen's mother, right?" Zhang Jixiang was also amazed when he saw it.

Xiao Ce pinched the corner of the painting shaft, and his throat was a little tight: "It's her." ”

"As soon as I look at this painting, I know that the person who painted it likes the emperor very much." Zhang Jixiang couldn't help but admire.

"I want to see her now." Xiao Ce said in a hoarse voice.

Zhang Jixiang came back to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly stopped: "The emperor can't!" ”

"Why not?! There are many ways to deal with King An, and I don't want to see anything wrong with her. Xiao Ce frowned.

His original plan was to wait until Xiao Yi made a move to reappear, but when would he have to wait like this?

It is not so difficult to deal with Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi committed the crime of killing the poisonous king, and the crime is unforgivable.

He thought that nothing was as important as Qin Zhao's safety.

Although he was far away at the border for the past three months, he knew everything about Qin Zhao's presence in the palace. Because he knew everything, he understood how difficult it was for her.

What's more, she is still pregnant with their child.

"But this time is a rare opportunity, you can get rid of those courtiers who have different intentions for the emperor at one time, do you want to wait a few more days?" Zhang Jixiang was a little nervous.

Of course, he knew the master's concerns, and he was just afraid that the queen would be wronged, but it was a pity that this big game of chess was played until now, and suddenly closed the net in advance.

Because this time you can get rid of the henchmen who have colluded with His Royal Highness King An at one time, this is a rare opportunity.

Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and didn't answer.

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly said: "The longer the time, the more His Royal Highness King An can't sit still, how many more days will the emperor wait?" The queen is in the palace, nothing will happen. ”

Xiao Ce was silent for a long time, and made up his mind: "Wait two more days!" ”

No matter what, he's going to show up.

Although Zhang Jixiang felt that two days were not enough, he was helpless.

"Then do you want to leave the palace now?!" Zhang Jixiang asked.

Xiao Ce temporarily changed his mind: "I can't leave the palace, just stay in the Heart Cultivation Palace." The movement over there in King An's Mansion continues to send people to keep an eye on it! ”

Zhang Jixiang knew that Xiao Ce wanted to protect Qin Zhao nearby. Otherwise, it will take time to enter and exit the palace temporarily, and it will be impossible to catch up if anything really happens.

"The emperor is tired of traveling day and night these days, so rest early, the servants are guarding in person." Zhang Jixiang hurriedly said.

He also needs to go and say hello to Qiushui, and no one can come to Xinuan Pavilion in the past two days, so as not to reveal the emperor's traces.

Xiao Ce went to the cubicle and saw the book with folded pages on the side, and knew that this was Qin Zhao's mark. Did she see this page today?

Obviously, his body was extremely tired, but he was very excited, just because he would soon be able to see Qin Zhao and the child, and he could endure it for two more days.

Thinking about his previous life, he never came back after that expedition, and now that Seth is dead, the Otsuki clan is now ownerless, and it has become a plate of loose sand, so there is nothing to fear.

Next, as long as Xiao Yi is eliminated, no one will be able to threaten him and Qin Zhao again.

In the end, he was still tired, and Xiao Ce soon fell asleep.

Qin Zhao also had a good night's sleep, but she didn't know that the man she was thinking about was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, in the same palace as her.

She thought that this day would be able to pass smoothly, but she didn't know why Xiao Yi suddenly came to Kunning Palace, and her face was a little wrong.

Since Xiao Ce left the palace, Xiao Yi's appearance every time he appeared looked harmless and non-lethal.

But today's Xiao Yi looked very wrong, and there was a faint anger in his eyes.

Qin Zhao was a little stunned by Xiao Yi like this, could it be that Xiao Yi knew something?

Xiao Yi carefully looked at Qin Zhao's face, this woman's face was ruddy, her red lips were delicate, and her jade-like skin was as transparent as snow.

A pair of eyes are even more frighteningly beautiful, as if they want to suck people's souls.

His jaw tightened, and he suddenly approached Qin Zhao: "The imperial sister-in-law is really beautiful today, so that the younger brother is so unmoved!" ”
